Running Away From The Hero!

# 4 Their Reason: The Reason of a Spy (Lonely Foodie)

Queek.

The wooden door creaks and greets me.

The space that opened the door, it was a dark place.

But for me, it's nothing. Compared to your Training Ground, this is nothing.

It is said to be dark, but the light of the candles everywhere makes it easy for ordinary people to move around with care.

Rather, the darkness brings the atmosphere of the space to life.

I like this atmosphere personally. Quiet is better for work than noisy.

Now I am on a secret mission alone. because they are operating in an unknown world!

“What do you want?”

A man looking down at me with an incredibly large body, a body that was about three times the size of a silent foot, said,

“Recommended.”

“I see.”

You should save your words as much as you can while doing serious things on your own.

Horses are one of the tools that show human nature. Useless words show your weaknesses.

Of course, I could trick people with words like you, but I chose to keep my mouth shut because I was ashamed to compare it to you.

“Not bad.”

It's crowded, it's dark, so you don't have to notice each other.

A place of glamour has its advantages, but a place of darkness has its advantages.

We need to know these places with our minds, not with our eyes.

“Hmmm... ”

First, let's smell it with your nose.

The smell of oil coming out of the tree, you might not like it, but I personally like it.

What do you say, calm your mind?

The smell of this old, damp oil tells us that this shop is old.

Why do people gather in these remote, dark places? For a very, very long time!

It's because only people with a purpose come here.

“This blood smells in there.... ”

I can't be considered a layman, but I am judged to have transcended the human sense of smell.

I could faintly smell the scent of blood here.

It's not a normal scent. The scent of very fresh blood.

It was a place that a close acquaintance would recommend by chance.

“Here I am. ”

“Yes.”

Again, the man in the basket who approached me in a quiet footstep handed me the item. I take it with caution.

“Advance payment.”

“Here.”

Shorty.

I took the gold out of my pocket and gave it to the man.

“It's real.”

“Pranking is no place for divine deals. ”

The man smiled and looked at me with loving eyes and turned without saying anything and left for his seat.

“Good.”

Secret deals that fit in this quiet place.

That back face you can say, but leave without saying if you think you're going to see him often.

I like people who leave unspeakably more than people who gossip and tell their ways even after receiving something they value personally.

They are proud to be the best in any way!

“Then……. ”

Grrr.

Take the knife out of your hand. A sharply shining silver sword.

Puck.

I stabbed things without hesitation.

“Haha... This is the hidden specialty of this town... Fries! ”

It's a very resilient object, or food.

It's been a month since I arrived on the continent on your orders.

The horn-shaped headband I thought would work well enough to make my worries feel safe, so I was able to travel safely to find the instructor, not to eat on the continent...

And during that trip, you can't miss out on food.

Yes, it is. You're the instructor, not the food... you were aiming for, but you said so before!

"This is what I do for a living! ’

"So cherish Bob! ’

I couldn't agree more.

but I thought it might be a little bit of a first-come, first-served meal.

“It's soft, but it's chewy. ”

It was a little different from the Empire frying whole ingredients in oil.

Meat dishes that came to the continent were mostly steamed.

I've come to know that the meat on the continent tends to be much tougher than the empire.

Well, because of the different horsemen, some of the horsemen grabbed the meat without any problem, but it was uncomfortable for me to eat!

But I never thought I'd be able to experience such a new world on such a continent!

“(* Sobbing *) It's delicious... ”

The instructor said,

When people eat happily without being hit by time and work, those who eat for a short period of time become free.

Lonely behavior where no one interferes, no one cares, and eats food! That's the best healing activity you can have, even if you're a member of a nasty, weary organization!

That instructor said it, so it can't be wrong.

As expected, food is the best healing activity!

“Where……. ”

Lift the fork and dip the deep-fried pork into mouth-sized pieces.

The taste of food is important, but the taste of the sauce is also very important. because sauce is also a part of cooking.

Take a fork and dip the fries in a brown sauce.

“Phew…. ”

The sauce is heavy. Is it lumpy, flour in it?

If I'm wrong, would this sauce go well with soft, crispy fries?

I'll check it out now!

“It's... delicious. ”

It tasted like a soft sauce, not stubborn.

Because of the weight, the sauce was stuck to the fries, not the outside.

The sweetness of delicate vegetables and the saltiness of ground cracks!

The crunchiness of the skin does not die, but the soft meat is sticking to the sauce and is playing in your mouth.

“I see. That's why I didn't pour you the sauce. ”

If you used liquid sauce, which is often found in Imperial cuisine, you would have killed the taste of this dish. It would have dampened the crunchy skin.

However, if you let it dip like this thick sauce, it will be hard to dig deep.

“Perfect.”

The crunchiness of the skin, the softness of the meat, and the delicate sweetness and saltiness of the sauce.

I was completely passed, and I couldn't get it together.

“Huh? Where did he go? ”

When I was so ecstatic that I swung my sword and fork, I saw an extinct dish and made a quick decision.

“Ha, one more bowl! ”

As soon as I spoke urgently, the owner of the bowl approached me again.

“Will it be one bowl? ”

“Ugh... ”

Unlike before, the host who was talking first was already smiling as if he had understood everything about me.

It was like he said, you couldn't be satisfied with this dish, this one more bowl.

“Three, no, five more! ”

This crispy texture can come out because it's freshly fried in oil.

That means if you ask for a small number, you'll come out late!

If I had eaten before, I couldn't stop eating!

“Yes, five bowls. ”

I nodded, turned around, and looked at the host, and I ate the shredded cabbage that came out with the fries.

“Huh?"

This is good, too.

The crunchy cabbage tastes the same as usual, but the red sauce sprinkled on top has created a new flavor.

“This is a tomato. ”

A sauce that is soft and sweet, yet very compatible with cabbage. That's great.

And by the time the cabbage was finished, the sensible host had brought some simple bread.

And then there's the cooking, the frenzied knives.

Add the dish again when you eat about three bowls like that. And finally,

“Wrap!”

“Unfortunately, our shop doesn't wrap.... ”

Tuck.

I emptied the 12th bowl and sadly ordered the wrapping, but the host said that this shop cannot be wrapped with a very sad look on their face.

But I am your disciple. I'm a good student who follows the instructor's advice that I should be prepared anytime, anywhere.

“This, this……? ”

“My own box of boxes. ”

The Magic Pouch you received from Her Majesty can hold a lot of stuff.

Of course, it uses a lot of gallstones or continues to use its own magical power, but as I said before, you can have a lot of gallstones.

I am trusted enough to send you alone to the continent!

“Not one. ”

“Of course. ”

“If it cools down, it won't taste good.... ”

I could feel the host looking at me anxiously.

Worry about the way your food tastes and about me eating it.

The so-called craftsman is not far away. because there may be craftsmen who are very close by, or who are silently doing their best in their work.

Finding artisans for that kind of food is really overwhelming.

“N-no, it's a very special lunchbox. It's okay. It's an automatic heating and cooling box that always protects food in its best condition. ”

“Fantastic.”

If it were a human continent, we would understand it as an Imperial product, but this is a maritime continent.

Unfortunately, I can't explain the Empire's ability to craft extraordinary magical items.

After a little while, the host approached with a lunch box containing about three people (by my standards).

“I have my own sauce. ”

I handed him a rather large container next to my lunch box.

“Hmm……. Do you know how to make this? ”

The host was very fond of me for knowing the value of their food.

Now's your chance.

These artisanal homes don't necessarily teach their recipes, but they do give little tips to people who like me who are very good at evaluating their cooking.

I've never eaten anything like this before in the Empire.

If you know roughly the skin of these fries, you should be able to make them in the Empire.

“I'm sorry, but I can't tell you... ”

But my host didn't tell me how to cook. It's a little sad.

“Because this is not a dish that I made. I accidentally learned it from one of the family members who stopped by this restaurant. I was surprised that they all looked different... ”

Did he notice that I was grieving? Unlike the silent nature of the host, the host began to pour out a lot of good words.

“A vague old man who looks like the oldest of the group asked to borrow a restaurant for the pink-haired child and the silver-haired child. Unlike the nobles like me, the meat of the horsepower is quite strong for the humans. It must have been a little feeding for the little ones. ”

Huh? Huh?

I felt a part of my hair curling up.

“Ho, do you know the characteristics of the other party? ”

“Huh? There was a handsome man and two good-looking women by the standards of the humans. He was blond, she was black-haired, brown-haired, right? ”

“Huh? Huh! ”

I feel like something's starting to come out.

“I-I think I'm looking for.... Do you remember his name? ”

There's a lot of respect coming out.

To be honest with you, even on the continent's most powerful force, it was stardom in the sky to find you!

No, if I could just drop the stars in the sky and bring the instructor back, I'm sure you could drop the stars!

You were tougher than that!

“Mmmm... I don't remember much... but the old man who taught me how to cook, or the middle-aged man... was his name Marx? I remember that.... ”

Bear thought, and he told me the name he knew.

Unfortunately, I don't know anyone named Marx, but if it's someone you think is you, I understand. The instructor changed his name once or twice.

“And... Hmm... I can think of a better name... Ah! ”

Biceps.

It was like when I first came here and ordered it, I could feel my heart beating.

And then...

“You said her name was Ar, right? ”

“Car, I found it! ”

A vast continent.

I was able to finally find your trail.

The meeting square, the restaurant, was the best place to gather information!
