Night began to fall over Torisval, and magical lanterns lit up as the cafeteria started to grow dim. Shiori’s dishes were on a table along with practice dishes made by her “students,” Yae and Dennis. From the glass window of the door to the cafeteria, several adventurers drawn over by the delicious scents were peeking in, gazing wistfully at the dishes.

“Well, we’ve certainly passed the aroma test,” said Yae with a satisfied grin. “But I must admit, you’re quite good with your hands, Dennis. I was surprised.”

The man himself had said that he wasn’t capable of much more than heating up canned food or otherwise simple stir-fry dishes, but he’d done a fine job with his practice dish. He’d been practicing campsite cuisine in his free time, which was likely a sign that he had simply always enjoyed cooking.

“Er, actually,” he said, his gaze growing distant, “my mother wasn’t much of a cook. When she followed the recipes for a simple soup it was fine, but she was the daughter of nobility, so outside of that, well...my father and I often helped her out. That said, it was always for simple meals.”

“Oh, erm, I see.”

The fact that he couldn’t even find the words to describe his own mother’s attempts at cooking meant that they could only imagine what it had been like. And perhaps those experiences had shaped the way he worked now.

Dennis had made stir-fried mussels with soy sauce and butter and a simple salad with a miso cream dip, both of which looked delicious. Alec and Shonosuke were both very fidgety, and clearly ready for the taste testing to start as soon as possible.

Around the time that all the food was prepared and readied, Zack joined them, having finished his work for the day. The cafeteria thus became not just a taste testing session, but an impromptu dinner party.

“Thank you for being so accommodating, Zack,” said Annelie, “though I apologize for taking up a space that your adventurers use to relax...”

Shiori would have been fine holding the class at her new home, but Annelie had politely declined—it felt to her like she would be barging into Shiori’s home with uninvited guests.

“Well...it’s just a half a day, so it ain’t a big deal,” said Zack with a grin. “And anyway, we can expect the margravine’s patronage in the future, yes?”

“Absolutely. We’ve already started working with the Lovner branch again, and we intend to work more closely with the Adventurers’ Guild from now on.”

In the past, rumors had been spread through noble circles about Dennis’s father—rumors that had destroyed his reputation. And not only had they been spread by a Lovner branch family, it was Dennis’s own grandfather behind it all. Annelie had been just a teenager, and far, far younger than the usual age of a family lord, and she had accepted the old man’s story without question—for many years, he had served the family well in his role as baron. This was a mistake on Annelie’s part and, as a result, the rumors had disseminated throughout the land as the truth.
