Ch 52 -- Arrival at Carerina
In the distance the road seemed to come to an end.
"That's the city of Carerina," the members of 'Phoenix' explained to me. The walls were imposing and it seemed like a fine city. It was good to have arrived anyway. I'm supposed to get a reward for capturing the bandits and I can't wait until we deliver them to the Knights in the city.
I didn't get any fried food yesterday evening, it was all eaten by the merchants and the members of 'Phoenix'. Everybody stared at me when I was cooking, and the members of 'Phoenix' have an incredible appet.i.te, probably because they're all gigantic brutes. Cooking for them used up all my meat reserves, there's none left, not a sc.r.a.p.
And, of course, there's a certain character called Fer who will complain if there's no meat to eat...
Once we get to Carerina I'll hurry to the Adventurer's Guild and get the monsters in my Item Box dismantled quickly.
Oh, Sui asked me for some sweet things, saying "I want to eat some cake-" so I secretly bought some cake from the Net Super just for her. Of course Fer found out and said "If Sui's getting some I want some too" so I had to buy some more cake for Fer. You can't deceive his sense of smell.

"Welcome to Carerina," said Lambert-san as he drove his carriage in through the gate.
