DIAW: The Girlfriend System in the World
Chapter 40 - Leaving the Mountain

"This is the road that will lead to Rithea City, from now on we will be in another city, be prepared for the worst possible." Wh-wh-what for? Otto suddenly told us to be on our guard, it's been weird this guy's attitude ever since we went through the mountain road that morning.

There, on this road there are only many trees on both sides. Sure, it's still in the woods. Then, approach something that looks like a building from a distance ... Ah, I guess it's time I call this the gate.

"In this village, we'll stop for a while to buy something." I shook my head, there seemed to be no reason for me to refuse the request.

"What do you think, Liya?"

"Ah, yes! Maybe we can walk around for a while ..." Looks like we got the most votes to stop by. Okay, then ...

"How ..."

"One hundred ..." While Otto was busy with trade, I took the initiative to look around the village with Liya. Well, it only consisted of a few or rather dozens of wooden houses, then there was one building that caught my attention.

"Oh, young man. Are you interested in buying something for breakfast?" I turned to the side when there was a fat lady offering me food in her stall.

"I'm sorry, I think I ate earlier, don't you think, Liya?" I don't know how to say it, but I'm more interested in tasting Liya's cooking than buying.

Name: Liya

Race: Human

Age: 16 years old

Gender: Female

Profession: Level 71 Magician

Skill: Fire ball [E] | Meteor Falls level [C]

Additional Expertise: Cooking [B]

Attribute: HP [F] | MP [D]

Status: Richard's girlfriend

Yup, that was a shocking level for someone who had just learned to cook. I spent about a thousand SPs to get Liya to raise that level. But, of course in exchange I will always eat well every day.

"A, oh ... I understand ... I'm sorry for asking." Suddenly the woman looked at someone beside me, Liya tilted her head for a moment noticing the woman's friendly gaze.

"What if this is so, madam. I'm giving you money, instead you teach Liya to cook from scratch." Like, adding a new menu to my breakfast. Well, I don't know the reason but I feel there's no harm in "Teaching Liya Cooking." that.

"I don't mind just teaching, but are you sure about that, young lady? You're gonna need some time to memorize my recipes."

"I ..."

"Ah, relax ... You don't have to worry. Or you could say, he's an expert at remembering." I don't know why, but that's what I told that woman. Wondering if rankings make everything easy.

I mean, B is pretty high to me. Yes, he is at least third after S who ranks first, then A. I decided not to think any further, because ...

"Em, yeah. This is good for me, ah ... They're very well made." I swallowed the meat cooked by Liya, it seems like I can say it worked for now.

After the cooking course, we then left the place, nor did I forget I gave the Madam some money.

"Ah, no need ... Teaching him to cook is a pleasure for me." That's what he said. I feel these people are too good. But, still, I decided not to accept everything for free.

"I'll probably need some more cooking. Can you sell me some?" Of course, I also did not forget to secretly write something. Yes, it was a cooking ingredient that I might need to buy next time, and not forget about the recipe.

***

"What's up, Richard. Looks like you're in a happy mood ..." Well, you know. I do feel happy today, in addition to making Liya have to bother learning a lot of menus.

"Ah, no ... I did it because I wanted to." (Liya)

"Hmmph ..." I know, Charlotte must feel abandoned in this situation. So I decided to share a little something, "What?! You can make something that comes from my country?!"

"To be more precise, he can make something you used to eat." Although I'm not too sure about this. But, wouldn't it hurt to try.

"Yes, as long as you have the ingredients. Then, the recipe ..." You could say, everything will be sorted out with just those two things. That's what Liya said. Kira, this explanation might be a bit confusing since Charlotte suddenly raised her hand.

"I'm afraid, this head doesn't remember any of the ingredients." Ah, goddamn. He messed it up, I guess I could try also the things that Charlotte used to eat.

"Ask, are you sure of that?" The system suddenly spoke. What was? Suddenly he said that. "Well, you probably don't know. But what used to be the dragon girl's food menu was ..."

"Wait ... What did you say?" Did I not listen wrongly? Yes, that's a recipe for me. I mean, the system explains it all, about the ingredients and then the steps it works. Well, I think I need a pen and paper. "Successful! Is this what you're looking for?"

I handed the sheet to Charlotte, "How do you know I like to eat buns?" Well, that's the problem. When I asked the system, he said he found out after finding out. I don't understand what that means, but isn't everything all right now?

"A bread cake?" This is a bit strange, the dragons also like to eat bread?
