The village Kagali-san mentioned was made up, so they couldn’t procure food from there.
I feel a bit guilty.
“Where did you guys come from?” (Kagali)
“In a town called Galletta, just south of here.” (Carol)
“””……”””
I asked, but I can’t respond because I don’t know the name of the city.
“Could it be, you don’t know? How long have you been living in a remote village?” (Mia)
Mia says dismissively.
“Mia-chan, don’t talk like that. Some people have never left their village. Some of our acquaintances have never left the town after all.” (Carol)
“That’s right, but isn’t it better if you know the name at least?” (Mia)
“I’m sorry. As you can see, I’m still young.” (Kagali)
Kagali-san evaded.
“Didn’t you just say you were older than us?” (Mia)
“You must have heard wrong.” (Kagali)
“Well, it can’t be helped that a child doesn’t know about it. But if it’s you, shouldn’t you know about it? You’re an adventurer, aren’t you?” (MIa)
It has jumped to me.
As expected, I can’t say I don’t know, so I nodded vaguely.
“Ah, yeah, I know. Galletta, right? More importantly, since we’re going to act together, let’s share information.” (Yuna)
Since it would be troublesome for me to ask about the town any further, I activated my secret technique, diversion.
“It looks like we’re going to talk one-sidedly. If you’re just listening, then we’re done here.” (Mia)
“How can I make you trust us?” (Yuna)
“Yeah. Then it would be helpful if you could share some food. If you don’t want to tell us your village, that’d be enough, right?” (Mia)
“Well, if you’re fine with that. Is bread okay?” (Yuna)
“Yes, that’s fine.” (Mia)
I take out some of the bread I have in large quantities.
“Are you fine with this?” (Carol) 𝗯𝗲𝗱𝗻𝐨𝐯𝗲𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
“There’s plenty more where that came from. I also have some wolf meat and chicken meat I can give you. They’re frozen, so you can thaw them and grill them.” (Yuna)
“Wouldn’t that melt?” (Mia)
I took out a cooler box.
“If you put it in here, it’ll be fine.” (Yuna)
There’s an ice magic stone inside. Well, it’s technically a small freezer at this point.
“I’ll give you this one too. Ah, will it fit in the item bag? If not, I can give you another item bag.” (Yuna)
“Wa-wait a second!” (MIa)
Mia stopped me when I tried to take out the item bag from my bear box.
“What?” (Yuna)
“We can’t take that much.” (Mia)
“Don’t worry about it. It’s something I don’t use and I don’t need it right now. I still have some in stock. If I need it, I can just make it.” (Yuna)
“……”
“Etto, just who are you?” (Mia)
“Just your average adventurer.” (Yuna)
Mia and Carol looked at Kagali-san and Fina. I wonder if my response was not good enough.
“She’s a coagulation of insanity, there’s no point in worrying about it.” (Kagali)
“Because Yuna-oneesan is an amazing person.” (Fina)
Mia and Carol looked at each other.
“Just the bread is fine. If you do that much, I’m afraid you’ll take it back while we’re sleeping or from behind.” (Mia)
“I won’t do that.” (Yuna)
“That’s what it feels like.” (Mia)
“Mia-chan has never been treated so kindly before.” (Carol)
“No, if someone you just met today treated you so kindly, you’d normally be suspicious, wouldn’t you? If Yuna were a man, I would definitely think she was after my body.” (Mia)
I’ve heard stories about how men are kind for a reason.
Even Gentz-san was looking out for Fina because he liked Tirumina-san.
“Could it be, Yuna. Are you a man or something?” (Mia)
“I’m a girl!” (Yuna)
No matter how much of a pancake I am, I’m not a man. Besides, it’s impossible to judge the size of my chest because of the bear costume.
“Because you act so manly, I thought you could be a boy in a cute outfit.” (Mia)
“That possibility is zero. If you say any more crazy things, I won’t give you any food. I want information and Mia and Carol’s trust.” (Yuna)
“Yuna, your lines stink.” (Mia)
“You said it yourself. So what do you want to do?” (Yuna)
“I understand. I’ll stop doubting you anymore. Either way, if Yuna attacks me, Carol and I won’t be able to win. In that case, I have no choice but to believe in you.” (Mia)
Negotiation; successful.
Mia and Carol put the bread in a cloth bag and put it in the item bag.
