Chapter 65
Rest Day
Translator : PolterGlast
A week has passed
since the subjugation of the Berserk Bear horde.
During this time,
we've been completing quests, and while feeling the drop in intensity from our
exploration of Hest Forest, we've been spending our days having fun.
The balance of taking
quests casually and doing good deeds with focus is working well, and
personally, I think we've got a good system going.
And—today is our first
rest day in a while.
I'm being summoned by
the Guild Master tomorrow, so after going to the Adventurer's Guild, I plan to
head to the old abandoned road to get a report and hear various things from
Bane.
Depending on the
information from Bane, we plan to hunt the Silver Golem as a good deed the day
after, so we've suddenly made today a rest day.
"Ah, Graham-san!
Good morning!"
Since it was a rest
day, I had planned on hitting the town for some solo street food and day
drinking for the first time in a while, but Ginia, who had heard that I was
still staying at a cheap inn, suggested we go inn-hunting together.
So, even though it's
my day off, here I am, meeting up with Ginia.
"You were already
here? I thought I came a little earlier than our meeting time."
"I got all
restless thinking about exploring the town with you... so I came early!"
"I'm glad you
were looking forward to it, but I'm sorry to make you hang out with a geezer on
your day off."
"Not at all! I
was the one who suggested it in the first place, and I was really looking
forward to it! Well then, we're wasting time, so let's get going!"
Feeling a little
guilty, I started walking towards the central street, following Ginia's lead.
Still, the central
street right off the bat, huh.
There are a lot of
inns, but it's a place I had excluded from my list of candidates precisely
because it's the prosperous part of town.
Depending on the
price, if it's cheap, then of course the central street would be nice, but...
"First, let's get
something to eat! You haven't had breakfast, have you, Graham-san?"
"I haven't, but
are we going to eat right before we look for an inn?"
"A day starts
with a meal! Besides, there's a cake shop I wanted to go to, so is it okay if
we have breakfast there?"
"You're the one
showing me around, so anywhere is fine with me, but... we are going to look for
an inn, right?"
"Of course! I've
even done my research! Well then, let's go to the cake shop!"
I like sweets, so I'm
happy, but starting with a meal right away makes me a little anxious.
Well, it's Ginia, so
I'm sure my worries are needless.
We made some light chatter
and arrived at a stylish cake shop.
It had a storefront
that I would never be able to enter on my own, and in fact, everyone in line
was a woman.
"What a stylish
shop. And there's a line even though it's morning."
"It's only this
short because it's morning. Around noon, there's a huge line! That's why I made
this our first stop!"
"I see. So it's a
shop you can only eat at in the morning. Also... is it really okay for me to go
in?"
"Of course! Come
on, let's get in line!"
Feeling a little out
of place, we waited in line for about ten minutes.
We were shown inside
and guided to a table by the window.
"Welcome. Have
you decided on your order?"
"I'll have
today's cake and a tea, please."
"I'll also have
today's cake and... this swirly bread. And a coffee, please."
"That's two of
today's cake and a croissant. And for drinks, a tea and a coffee."
"Yes! Thank
you!"
We placed our order
with the stylish waitress and were waiting restlessly when our food was brought
out right away.
A cake that looked delicious
at a glance, and a freshly baked bread that was called a croissant.
My feeling of being
out of place was blown away, and my mouth started to water with the urge to
eat.
"It's the best
shop in Biodasdal for a reason. The quality is amazing! Shall we dig in?"
"Yeah, I can't
wait to eat. Let's eat."
After saying our
thanks for the meal, I put the pure white cake, topped with colorful fruits,
into my mouth.
"Wow, this is
good... What is this delicious cake?"
The cake was so good
that the words just slipped out of my mouth.
I thought the white
part was whipped cream, but it had a cheese-like flavor, and because it wasn't
overly sweet, it went perfectly with the fruits on top.
I was even moved by
the flavor, which felt like it had all been perfectly calculated.
"It's really
delicious! I'm glad you seem to be enjoying it too, Graham-san!"
"This is by far
the most delicious sweet I've ever eaten. I would never have been able to come
to this shop alone, so I'm grateful to you for showing it to me, Ginia."
"Fufufu, I didn't
think you'd be this happy! Let's come back together on our next day off!"
"Yeah, I'd love
for you to invite me."
I polished off the
cake in no time, and also finished the croissant that only I had ordered.
The croissant was also
packed with the delicious flavor of butter. This was a highly satisfying shop.
The after-meal coffee
also had a calming flavor, and I truly think this was the best breakfast of my
life.
This... I really have
to apologize properly to Ginia for having doubted her.
