9. At the City

Since Tori couldn’t use the kitchen during renovations, he was going to use the parlor as a substitute for the time being. It was time to bust out the legged cauldrons, tripod grills, and cast-iron ovens. Originally, Tori had used the parlor’s fireplace to cook soups and stews, but now he would have to prepare a variety of meals here as well.

Tori watched Senynoma working in the kitchen while he swept up the soot in the fireplace. She was dismantling the kitchen stove. Rather than demolish it with a hammer, she was using a knife to dig into the gaps between the bricks, carefully cutting through the mortar to disassemble it brick by brick. She was also shaving off the residual mortar from each one before setting it aside. It looked like she was planning to reuse all of them.

“Can you even reuse those?” Tori asked.

“We can. We already have the bricks from the underworld, so I’m gonna use those to build the part that’ll contain the flames, while these’ll be for the oven’s base,” Senynoma explained. She appeared to be enjoying herself. Tori wasn’t sure if it was just her nature as a cyclops, but she genuinely appeared to be having fun while working. She paid no heed to the dust and soot that accumulated on her.

Meanwhile, Euphemia and the others had gone out earlier that morning. The guild had requested another big order of potions. They’d also informed her that they would be making more such requests in the future, so she had gone out to gather more materials in preparation. Euphemia’s reasoning for accepting the orders was: while one-off requests were fine, getting multiple orders a month would create a more stable source of income.

Lately, there had been fewer requests for the White Witch to do adventuring work. Azrac’s adventurer bubble meant there were currently enough clans around to handle the majority of requests, but that also meant there were fewer reasons to call on the White Witch for help. And of course, adventurers didn’t get paid if they didn’t take any jobs. While Euphemia wouldn’t run into financial troubles for a while thanks to her work up till now, Tori couldn’t help but worry, so the possibility of her getting something more stable was a huge relief for him.

Tori arranged fresh wood in the fireplace to start a new fire. It was almost time for lunch. He’d made packed lunches for Euphemia and her three familiars, so today, he only needed to make food for two. He wrapped sautéed meat and vegetables in dough, covered them in a deep dish, and placed it in the fireplace with a smoldering piece of firewood on top of the lid. While this was cooking, he prepared a simple soup consisting of dried meat, mushrooms, and herbs in a different pot. Once the buns were finished, he sliced one open and nodded.

“Senynoma, food’s ready!” Tori called out.

“Coming!” Senynoma yelled back.

Moments later, she emerged from the kitchen, completely covered in dust.
