dokin* . Bryce-kun wasn’t trying to say that it was so he could see me, right? No no, forget about what happened on that day, okay? That was all a misunderstanding, one worthy of being forgotten while he was still young . Wait, he said he was twenty-eight years old, so he wasn’t exactly young anymore .
「Okay then . 【Contract: You are to protect the secret of the potions and to do deliveries until Yuuri registers the recipes . I will keep the promise to ourselves, and I will not leak it to the guild nor to anybody else . 】」
Rofas-san declared . Bryce-kun answered, 「【Contract Complete】」
Umm, so for now, the secret of the potion dishes was between all of us here only .
The contracts would last until I find the ultimate recipe and register all of them to the guild .
Rofas-san would protect us in the meantime .
Also, we had to secure enough losing potions so that they could be circulated through the market before the release of the recipes .
And then, I have to raise my level and do recipe research, but…
I know!
「【Contract: I am requesting for foodstuff other than bread and potatoes to be brought here . The reward will be the dish I cook with them . 】」
「「【Contract Complete . 】」」
Rofas-san and Bryce-kun answered at the same time .
「Rofas-san, you’re an S-rank adventurer, so aren’t you busy? I’ll bring the food . 」
「No no, Bryce, you’re only level 10 . It’ll be hard on you to go back and forth between the potion field and the dungeons . 」
Bryce-kun and Rofas-san began arguing about who was going to bring us the foodstuff .
「Status open . 【Disclose MP . 】Look, Rofas-san, I’ll be fine . Didn’t you know that I can start using magic spells starting at level 10? 」
Bryce-kun showed his MP status to everybody .
He had 800 MP, along with a buff value . If I remember correctly, I only had 3 MP .
Now that I thought about it, Rofas-san had 2300 HP . Uwah, there was something wrong with my numbers . No wonder the guild receptionist was speechless when she saw my status .
If I didn’t raise my HP to at least a three-digit number, things would be dangerous for me, right? How long would that take me though?
「No, I know about that, but how are you at 800 MP? How much mana do you have for you to be at 800 MP by level 10?!」
「I haven’t checked which attribute I belong to, but I’m sure I’ll catch up to you as soon as I learn some spells . 」
Bryce-kun had a big grin on his face .
(TL: The author made a mistake in the line above and wrote that “Rofas-kun” grinned . It is unknown whether she meant Bryce or Rofas . )
「Hah, you think you can catch up to an S-ranker that quickly?」
Rofas-san made an “I don’t know” gesture with his arms and shrugged .
「Alright, do your best then . I’ll wait . 」
He said, deciding to cheer Bryce-kun on .
「Well, in that case, I’ll bring the requested foodstuff to Yuuri-san . 」
「Wait a second, that’s no case at all! You’re going to be busy with leveling up, training your magic, and doing quests as an adventurer to raise your rank! 」
Hmm . For some reason, the two of them started fighting again .
「Rofas-san, Bryce-oniichan, do the both of you like Yuuri-oneechan that much?」
Kirikchan asked, and my mouth dropped in shock .
W-w-what was she saying?! I felt my face turn red in embarra.s.sment .
「That’s right . I really like Yuuri-san . 」
Bryce-kun looked straight at me and declared .
「W-what are you saying, Kirika! I just want to eat Yuuri’s cooking, it’s not because I have a crush on her!」
Rofas-san denied strongly .
……
Ah, yes, that was to be expected .
No, of course that didn’t hurt my feelings .
My blushing face returned to its usual complexion immediately .
「Of course, Rofas-san . If you said you liked Yuuri-san, that would mean you are a bonafide lolicon . People will start suspecting that you built this small hut in order to enclose young girls…」
Bryce-kun began smiling at Rofas-san, like he had won the battle .
L-lolicon… I was thirty years old in j.a.pan, older than Bryce-kun and equal to Rofas-san…
Wait, did I really look that much like a child to them?
That meant n.o.body would treat me like an adult woman, even if I said I was one?
Uu, if that was the case, then that was more shocking to me .
That meant the only people I could get together with were people that enjoyed “legal loli” . That’s disgusting .
「Who are you calling a lolicon? Yuuri’s going to be an adult soon, isn’t she?」
Rofas-san tried to refute, but,
「Huh? Rofas-san, you can’t do that now . Please don’t have dirty thoughts about Yuuri-san just because she is an adult . 」
Bryce-kun said, and glared at Rofas-san .
