Chapter 393 - Rumors of the Marquis family
At the shelter, Fran and Urushi ate their fill of Io-san's culinary masterpieces. After that, donating ingredients to the shelter, we moved on. Our next target was the Dragon Diner.
- Oh, Fran. Long ti no see. ( Fermus)
- Yeah. Hello Fermus. (Fran)
An elderly gentleman ca out to et us, looking good as always. Seeing Fermus leaving the kitchen, one of the visitors raised an enthusiastic cry.
- Today you decided to co and eat with us? (visitor )
- Uh-huh!( fran)
- Ha ha ha. Since when you ca last ti, you did not find , today I will show you everything that my cooking is capable of. What, this wolf is not with you?( Fermus)
- He's in the shadows.( Fran)
- If you don't mind, then let cook for everyone. After all, you fought against evil spirits together. (Fermus)
- Won-won!(Urushi)
He already left , Fran didn't even have ti to say anything. Well, since the last ti they failed to eat at the Dragon Eatery, they probably wanted to eat this ti.
- Well, what do you want to eat
- everything ( Fran )
- Haha. Understood
Fermus was not surprised, as if he already knew that Fran was big eater. Imdiately he turned around and went into the kitchen. Last ti we were able to taste only the food of his student, this sa Fermus will cook for us.
The first thing that the female worker, whom we have seen before, brought in was dragon bone soup, one of the signature dishes. However, it was yellowish.
- New recipe, Dragon Bone Curry Soup
Apparently, he also decided to follow the curry fashion.
- What do you think? I asked.( master)
Fran said nothing, just continued to swallow the broth.
It looks very tasty.
- So what do you think?
- Gorgeous. A bit sour, but okay. (Fran)
- Won-won!!(Urushi)
- Really? I am Very glad to hear it from you!
Probably, the curry here was more like Thai than Indian. As expected from Fermus, he only had one hint to make such a curry.
With each new dish that was brought, Fran and Urushi were increasingly anticipating how delicious they would be. among 10 dishes were at, the sa that they had eaten before. After tasting a bite, Fran nodded, but suddenly thought.
- What? I asked. ( Master)
“It’s delicious, of course, but Fermus cooks better,” Fran told .
- Eh … its tasty ?
The voice belonged to a student of Fermus. It looks like he was cooking it. That's how, amazingly, she understood it from one taste. Fran praised the apprentice's cooking, saying it tasted better than the last ti, not daring to say that the taste was inferior to Fermus's. Let him continue to work in the sa spirit.
After that, Fran and Urushi tasted a variety of dishes, until finally they were full.
Our final destination awaited us at Barubor, the headquarters of the Lucille trading company.
As expected, it was a large company, and Fran realized this as soon as she entered the building. Or was it because she rembered coming here before?
The girl at the front desk stood up to bow politely to the guests. In addition, there was also a boy who looked like a local apprentice, who imdiately hurried to her.
-long ti no see , lady Fran. What bring you here today? (girl)
- Is Rengil here? (Fran)
- I will now check if he is in place, wait a little.(girl)
As soon as the girl left, the apprentice boy ran out after her. So she went to tell Rengil about Fran's visit.
- Co here. (girl )
The girl from the front desk invited us to sit down. Then, almost imdiately, another employee ca in in the uniform of a maid, with tea and cakes. The cups and saucers were decorated with beautiful paintings and the cakes were unusually decorated.
Considering that the other traders had simple cups, this should have been a gesture of good relations. Fran seed a little unhappy that only sweets were brought to tea, recalling the past with nostalgia. Does it an that steaks for tea in the Land of demi-humans seed strange to , or what?
“Fran, you’ve been eating recently, are you sure you’ll eat everything?” I asked. (master)
At first she ate in open shops, then in a shelter, and finally - in a "Dragon's Eatery" … She should have overeat herself long ago.
- M? Of course.( Fran)
She gladly put the cake in her mouth, as if she had not eaten before, but put all the food in the Spatial Storage.
- Maybe you won't mock yourself like that? (Master)
- I always have a place for sweets.(Fran
I, of course, do not mind that Fran ate deliciously, but still … Lately, I notice that she is becoming more and more insatiable. Although, given how much Fran moves, she doesn't have to worry about being overweight. But I'll have to think of sothing if I notice signs of excess weight in her.
While Fran was devouring the cakes, the girl had already returned and escorted us to Captain Rengil's room.
- you decided to return to Barubora?(Rengil)
- Yeah. I'm moving on soon, so I stopped by to say hello. (Fran)
- Oh ! I'm flattered.(Rengil)
- Also, I would like to buy spices.(Fran)
Although now the prices for spices are sowhat overpriced, we can still afford them now. Without further ado, we were given the right amount to buy.
- Well, if you are in the city, co visit again .(Rengil)
- Yeah.(Fran)
Since Captain Rengil knew Fran owned the Space Vault, he did not ask us any questions about transportation.
After that, we asked Rengil about Gallus and Zelsrid, but it seems he could not say anything.
However, we learned sothing else interesting about the Ashton family of marquis.
- This family is now in a difficult situation…(Rengil)
- Tough situation?(Fran)
-The Marquis Ashton received a guild accusation about his son, Serudio, who was an adventurer. As an A-rank adventurer, rumors began to swirl around him, and few people trusted him. Now that he has already lost his life, his nurous atrocities are surfaced. (Rengil)
Rank A Adventurer Serudio, we killed him in Urmut! For molesting Fran, trying to extort from her, and for filthy offers to make Fran his concubine, he got what he deserved. Then we used the story of the Divine punishnt that will befall the one who equips , so that he himself, in fact, died from the curse of the sword in his stupidity.
However, Diaz, the head of the guild from Urmut, has already said sothing about the fact that he wants to solve the cris committed by Serudio to the other heads of the guild. Apparently, he really did it. So the accused are the Marquis's family? Are they not afraid of anything?
- How can the guild afford to quarrel with the noble family of the Marquis?( Fran)
- Now they can. Still, thanks to the fact that the state helped the guild, the noble family seems to have paid all the compensation in full. (Rengil)
The guild had oral testimony from a respected A-rank adventurer, and evidence in the form of magical herbs. In addition, since the country did not want to spoil relations with the adventurer's guild, they decided to throw all the bla on Serudio.
Considering that they also have testimonies from Serudio's henchn that the Ashton family ordered him to seek the Divine Swords, it was not without the usual scandal that lowered the trust in the family. The state itself is now watching them closely.
- Recently, their dark financial affairs have been revealed. Since our company also had to trade with the Marquis family, I can say that many tis they did not pay their bills. (Rengil)
- I see
Rengil did not know that Fran was involved with Serudio's death. It looks like Diaz hasn't leaked unnecessary information. But it's hard to believe that with so many witnesses, Fran's involvent was so well hidden. I don't know if the Ashton family is aware of this.
If so, then they can not only hide where Gallus is, but also harbor a grudge against Fran. It would be better to be more attentive when eting the Ashton family.
The next destination is Urmut, so I'll probably need to talk to Diaz.
