Chapter 42 A Remarkable Feast
The bread had a delightful texture, crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. It was nothing like the bread eaten on the way to Norwood village; it was incredibly fragrant and had an exceptional crunch and flavor. I wonder if there are cows here? It had a buttery aroma, and it was generously coated with rich, thick oil.
The meat, although not smoked, had a moderate saltiness and spiciness, reminiscent of bacon. Of course, the fatty parts were also delicious. There were well-cooked, firm fried eggs on both sides. I believe it's called 'over hard' or 'turnover' style. They were also delicious, with a seasoned salt and pepper flavor on the surface, and a rich taste of the yolk. The leafy greens weren't boiled; they were lightly blanched, lightly squeezed, and seasoned with salt. They retained their crunch and were somewhat similar to blanched vegetables. So delicious!
"Yeah, it's incredibly delicious. You're really good at cooking, aren't you?"
"Thank you. I'm so pleased that you appreciate it."
Rosalia's lips are raised. She must really think that way. Back then, she said, "Wait and see. I'll surprise you, alright?" Yeah, I was surprised. Unlike the casual dishes I make, this one has a beautiful appearance and the taste is impeccable.
"Yeah, I've completely lost. I'm defeated. Oh, Rosalia-san, don't you have breakfast?"
"No, well, while I was tasting the food, I became satisfied."
"That's a common thing while cooking."
"I'm truly sorry for the embarrassment..."
After finishing breakfast and having tea served to me, I relaxed.
"Goshujin-sama, what are your plans for today?"
"For now, I'll go to everyone's place and help with guild registration. Oh, what about you, Rosalia-san?"
"...Um, I, I will be with the head manager of the guild."
"Could it be that it's about the 'Rosalia of the Pitch Black' that Privia mentioned?"
"You guessed it correctly. My name is known to some as an adventurer or an assassin. I have no intention of showing myself. 'Rosalia' is like a nickname I was called when I was young. Outside the mansion, please call me 'Rosalier'."
"Oh, I see. Got it."
"Thank you very much."
Is that so? Rosalia is a nickname, so maybe Rosalier-san's name isn't uncommon in this world, huh? It must be different from a name like mine.
An assassin—no, a cleaner, huh. ...The name I used back then was 'Rosalia' too. Privia-san knew it as a nickname. It must be quite well-known in the underworld. I didn't know, though.
But why use a nickname instead of a real name? I guess maybe she didn't originally intend to take on assassination jobs.
"Rosali, uh, er, san"
"You can call me whatever you like here at the mansion."
"No, I need to get used to it, right? So, Rosalier-san, what are you going to do next?"
"I also intend to go to those kids, I mean, everyone's place."
"Is that so?"
"Yes. However, before that, I found the clothes I'm wearing a bit old and tight, and I felt it was difficult to move in them. I'm planning to stop by a clothing store I saw on the way to the dormitory."
"Yeah, that's a good idea."
"Thank you."
"I'll be going ahead then."
"Yes, have a safe trip. Goodbye, Goshujin-sama."
"Yeah, see you over there."
When I left the mansion, I headed towards the Black Forest Human tribe's dormitory. It's about a ten-minute walk from the mansion. Along the way, there are definitely grocery stores, fruit stands, and clothing stores. Surprisingly, I live in a Convenient area. Since it was in the opposite direction of the guild, I didn't notice it.
This means that the Watterhill is wide and many people live here. Even though I've only just come here, I can wave to people in shops I don't know. The shopkeeper who sold dried fruits yesterday was the same. I can tell that I'm also being warmly accepted.
"Good morning."
Corbett-san and other young people are cleaning the road in front of their houses. They greet people passing by with a very nice smile. They are talking with the people in the neighborhood. That person is also smiling. Their communication skills are amazing. ..
Can I do something like this so soon? I wasn't in a sales position in Japan, so it might be impossible for me. I came from a village that seemed distant and closed off. I shouldn't have been able to fit in with this Watterhill village. They probably discussed it together.
"Good morning."
"Ah, good morning. Oyakata-sama."
So that's how Corbett-san calls him. Probably the same for others too. It's still better than Goshujin-sama though.
"Is there anything troubling you?"
"No. I received it from Rosalier-san, and it's well within the budget and on time."
"Is the room not too small?"
"It's spacious enough and comfortable. Above all, that large bath. The height of the ceiling, the sense of openness, and the size of the bathtub. I never thought I would be so happy to be able to stretch my legs."
Come to think of it, the bath in the village was like a Goemon-style bath. It must be the same feeling as mine. Oh, by the way, Rosalia――Rosalier-san said something similar, didn't she?
"I see, that's good then. Oh, by the way, you haven't been to the guild yet, have you? I was thinking of accompanying you."
"I appreciate it. I walked around earlier and asked the neighbors for directions."
"In that case, I'll go ahead."
"Yes, see you later then."
Oh, the screen is still on. I don't really mind these days... Looks like my mana level has already returned. The decrease and increase in just a small portion must be the consumption of 'Resurrect'. I wonder how much my mana level has increased? I haven't checked it recently――wait a minute!
Mana level: 3D3 (979)
What's going on? It's at 979. Well, no wonder it doesn't decrease to less than half even if it's depleted all night. But with this, even if I increase the number of people I heal, I won't collapse, right?
I wonder if there's a spell higher than 'Resurrect'. Maybe I should search for old texts? But it seems like it's enough. When mana level increases, the momentary mana that can be released also increases. And with that, the healing effect is also enhanced. I train like this every day. There's no other choice but to continue.
Was that feeling I had when I woke up a hangover? Or was it because my mana decreased by half and made me feel sick? I don't really know. Let's just say it was a hangover since I felt better with 'Detoxify'. Otherwise, it feels like I'm becoming less human, and I don't want that... Yeah, I won't worry about it. That's the best way.
