Afternoon in the kitchen, behind the old library.
Some time ago I was angered by Lily's daughter for coming home from the city and not bringing any sweets.
At that time princess Lily continued to whine with the word "where sweet? ", but I replied with the word "the sweet there is not good!, I will make you a good sweet! " answer.
But princess Lily was angry because I took so long to make sweets.
(why should I be angry! Though I just follow the tutorial that vita gave to make a good cake, actually making a good cake takes a lot of time and struggle) I thought.
After a few hours, my cake was finished .
I made a big dough so I could make a lot of cookies.
I also make some cakes with ingredients that are healthy for the body such as kitbar made from wheat and raisins that are united by melted sugar.
I never thought this one dough would produce so many pastries.
At first I only used ten kg of flour and some eggs and butter. But when the dough has expanded, it will be doubled.
(hehehe, it's like I'm going to make a cake to sell rather than eat) I thought when I saw the pile of chocolate cake that had finished over.
Actually the oven stove provided there was so small, at that time I was forced to make a new furnace over and it took some time.
I also made some sponge cake, because I love sponge cake.
After a few hours...
(Eventually all the cakes I made were finished. It's time to give this cake to princess Lily) I thought, walking with some tray filled with cake to the gazebo table in the garden behind the library, where Lily usually reads.
I walked with a sweet smile on my face, while presenting the cake that I brought in front of princess Lily.
"hey liar, what are you doing here" said Lily's daughter.
"hehehe, don't say that because it hurts my heart" I said.
"if you're not a liar why don't you buy me a box of sweets,?.. Not that you promised!"
"it's not like I told you that the sweets in there aren't good!.. This try!. I've baked you some sweet cakes"
"just watch if you don't feel good, then,.. My debt will double!" said Princess Lily.
After that, the princess picked up one of the cookies on the table, watched it closely and smelled it.
"the smell is fragrant.is it eatable?" princess lily said.
"once trying you will get hooked with my cake" I said seductively.
Then princess Lily put the cookies in her mouth. He was suspicious of my cake, but when one bite, his expression suddenly changed.
"uhhmm felix you are so talented at making good cakes!, from now on you will be my personal chef" said Lily as she chewed the cake in her mouth.
"thank you for the offer" I said.
"felix please fill this glass again with that drink,.. It's just left the bran" said princess Lily. While giving a glass of coffee that he drank.
"All right, princess,..I'll fill it up" I said.
After that, we both enjoyed the day's surre, accompanied by some sweet cakes and some funny jokes that made princess Lily smile.
Next time's.. A few days later..
After a few days passed by the various beautiful memories I experienced, I finally got closer to princess Lily.
I also became more familiar with my party members. After a few times we raid in the labyrinth. We eventually became trusting each other.
They (members of my party) leveled up very quickly, (while I didn't level up because I was level max). But there are circumstances that make us very different.
As we got deeper into exploring the labyrinth there the difference began to be seen.
They all seem to be dragged by me. They look very excited but at that moment they look depressed and desperate for death that haunts them.
Actually I have advised them to replace all their equipment with a better one, even I to give them more profit because I hope that they want to change their equipment.
But they didn't take my advice seriously, until an accident happened.
In the morning at the guild bar, in front of the table was seen a party of 3 people waiting for me.
They looked grim as one of them had suffered a fatal injury during the exploration. And not present at the moment.
I observed them from a distance while walking slowly and thinking about what I should say to comfort them.
Just then, One of them saw me, then they whispered to each other and began to hide their sad expressions.
"yo! Senior felix's morning, today we will explore what floor?" said Dusk with a smiling expression.
"well, by the way, is rick's better."
After I said that. Suddenly the whole party looked grim.
No one wants to talk but Dusk.
"just relax, he's just sleeping from yesterday and today might wake up!" dust said, trying to melt the atmosphere.
Hearing these words I became angry,
" fuckin! (my words while pulling the collar of dust shirt) "not that he's in a coma right now! Why do you say as if your friend is worthless!, instead of me telling you to change your gear immediately, if you listen to what I say, maybe none of this will happen!."
"stop senior felix! I beg you to stop, (talk Miu while crying)" hiks' hiks' we apologize for our negligence, but we all never lie to you" Miu said.
"where is all the money you've earned? " i said as I took my hand off the collar of dust.
"you will understand after seeing it!, let's follow us" said priest mimi,
Without saying much I followed in the footsteps of those who led me to a shanty place on the edge of the royal wall.
I am currently in front of an old building.
The building looked like it was about to collapse, despite its condition, but many small children were playing there.
"welcome to our home" they said.
(ehhh house!, instead this is like an orphanage building that almost collapsed.)
"so! Have you gone home,?, have you brought any food? Said the little boy who ran towards here.
" pardon us for not getting anything, hey jull is brother rick up? "
" yak brother dust, I've been guarding brother rick but he did not get up, I was bored and I ended up playing outside" said the little boy wearing shabby clothes.
"uhh it's time to wake her up, jull please prepare food for our guests."
"well brother" said a boy named Jull.
"uhh it's not good to wait outside, let's go inside" said miu
Then we went inside the orphanage that looked like it was going to collapse.
At that time I was invited to a room, there I was greeted by a priestess who looked very old.
"ohhh welcome young man, I've heard you often from my son. That you have done a lot to help them." said the old grandmother pastor, he was so wrinkled and his hair was so white with gray hair.
The old priest walked with his hunchback body, he walked with a cane, some children around him tried to help him, because he looked very difficult.
" i'm sorry I said this but how's rick doing now?" my spoken.
"ohok" umm "he may be in a critical period because of the poison from the vines monster," said the priest.
"it's not like there's a drug that can cure all kinds of poisons, why don't you buy that drug for rick"
"uhhm 'we do not have the money to buy such expensive drugs" said the old priest's grandmother.
"but not for a few days you have a big harvest because some of your children have been following me through the labyrinth?, is that not enough money" I said as I lit a cigarette.
"hey young man, I understand for all your opinions, for you have brought prosperity to our little home, but before that we had a very large debt to feed the children in this orphanage and I was very old to make a living "
" Ehh but? "(my speech is cut by the word mui)
" But what? Do you want to inquire about the person in charge of this orphanage! " look here no adult will take care of this old building, and those who used to live here until adulthood, they did not return to this place to return the favor, they all seemed to forget all the kindness that the grandmother had given them, They returned the milk with dirt. "
" settle yourself miu, she's new and doesn't understand what". Grandma preacher, say,
After that our chat got longer and longer, at this time all the problems they faced began to tell me . I didn't care at first but after hearing their whole story I finally opened up a little bit of my heart to help them.
"it's a difficult matter of life, well maybe I'll give the medicine to rick because I still need his energy" I said as I took out a bag of gold coins and gave it to the grandmother.
"hey young man, this is too much" . Grandma priest.
"the rest please use to feed the little ones who live here" I said.
"Ohh well, but before I die 'may this old grandmother see just once your face, because this old grandmother does not want to die with curiosity hehehe" said the pastor with toothless tooth he laughed.
"ohh forgive me for wearing a mask inside the house" I said as I removed my face cover.
when I opened the face cover all of a sudden the entire room became jolted.
The entire party was shocked when I saw my true face because from the beginning of joining I never opened my face cover.
"What!! " they compactly say.
"i can't believe what I saw" Dust said,
"so this is your real face senior felix" said priestess mimi.
"owemoin imeb me meme noah! " the obscure remark that miu said, miu looked shocked then immediately turned her face away from me.
"does my face look weird?" I said with a strange expression when responding to the attitude they did.
"you look cool brother" said Dust as he brandished his two thumbs.
" if you're honest, you look like a noble boy" priest said.
"the felix!! (mage mui looks restless) Do you have a wife?" said mage miu with a face that began to blush.
After that jull led us to the dinner table to start the breakfast.
Although the menu was simple, we ate with wisdom and gratitude.
After finishing eating..
I was drinking a glass of local tea, and I was just beginning the conversation.
I lit the cigarette with a calm expression and was ready to listen to their entire opinion.
" what can we do now?" my spoken.
"i have a suggestion, it's better now that we're collecting savings while Rick's sick and when he's cured, we'll open those savings up to buy new gear so we can enter the labyrinth deeper"
"but where can we get the money?" mimi.
"well where else but the labyrinth!" dust
" i'm sorry your advice was rejected" I said.
" my senior felix has good advice to hear!" miu. With a shy expression.
"suggest what miu" I said.
"is the senior married, if I am not willing to be your wife" said Miu while covering her face that began to blush.
"excuse me, that's not good advice at a crucial time like this" I said with a puzzled expression as I responded to a girl's proposal.
"i heard some rumors within the guild that a horde of monsters became very aggressive and migrated frequently later this year, I also heard that some destruction squads would be deployed there, too, if my guess is not wrong, there will be a horde monster and there will be a makeshift raid to hunt down some of those monsters, then how about we just follow the emergency raid!, then!, it will make so much money as long as we can survive, and the raid requires so many adventurers that there is still a great possibility for us to follow it" said priestess mimi.
"Alright let's try that emergency raid but on some conditions!," I said with a serious expression.
" What are the conditions" they said.
"I can only fight while protecting one person, so I will decide to bring one of you ."
"i'll come along, I can heal you from all sorts of wounds" mimi said.
"I can fight and protect your back" Dust said.
"i want to come even if it's up to the guarantee" said miu.
"alright!, I've decided that the one who will come is dusk"
"hhhh but why?" said the two women.
"Because mage and support are easy targets, and we don't yet know how dangerous these emergency missions are"
"Ohh okay!!, you're the senior here" said mimi.
"uhhh so senior felix was so considerate of me and didn't want to see me get hurt!" said mage miu with an embarrassed expression.
" thank you for the attention!, said mage miu with a feisty expression.
" well together, see you, and dust prepare your equipment" I said.
"we're leaving in half an hour so let's get ready for the dust" I said, putting my plant mask back on.
After that we packed up and went towards the adventurer Guild.
The adventurer Guild..
"Welcome Felix" said a female staff member who usually meets me.
In fact these few days, the party I created won several awards for its huge contribution to the adventurer Guild.
my party is growing very rapidly than other parties, my party's income is superior compared to the party that has been there for a long time.
In the end we rose from beginner to steel level.
(TL, I forgot to write some important things so Guild level in the section based on the material contributed and how much we contributed. The first level is marked with, beginners who are given a stone of honesty, after which given a necklace of claws as a sign of rising rank. And the final level beginner is marked with a spell stone necklace. Then for the middle level is marked with honesty necklace and iron id, while for the middle level 2 is marked with steel id and honesty necklace. As for preventing the final level marked with the id of copper and honesty necklace. And for rank experts and elites to it, will be marked with necklaces and more valuable materials.
"is there anything I can help you with, for your party?" said female staff.
"actually I want to talk about the rumor that there will be an emergency quest" I said.
"ohh About that!, actually we only ask expert level parties and above to participate, and we do not encourage your party to participate" said the female staff with a sad expression.
"But we want to come" Dust said.
"wait a minute, I'll negotiate this with the head of the board" said the female staff.
The staff rushed to a room there.
After a few hours of waiting.....
"felix is it still a long time?" dust said as he sat complaining at one of the tables in the barr Guild.
"don't ask me dust" said as he sat complaining in front of the barr table in the adventurer Guild.
We've been sitting here waiting for a while, and we've even ordered some cold beer and some food. But the staff has not yet arrived.
"seniors felix, are we going to sit and drink here all day."
"be patient in a moment dust, I'm thinking of a plan so we can come along" I said trying to convince the dust who began to worry.
I lit a cigarette and started sorting out the steps I had to take so I could join the emergency raid.
"i will entrust this to you senior felix, may I order some more food" Dust said with a bored expression.
"please order whatever you want, and wait for my command.!" my spoken.
Some time later....
At that time I saw a party consisting of many archers, it must be an elite party because the equipment they wore must be very expensive and quality.
" the moment that one of them stepped forward to the reception desk, from his tone of speech, he must have been the captain of the party.
" Come on!.. Our tanker is being treated and we want to follow the emergency raid "cried the party captain.
" i still don't allow it sir because it's so dangerous!" said the staff I heard from a distance.
(it seems like this is the opportunity I've been waiting for all this time) I thought.
" dust come with me.!! "my word while pulling dust's hand.
" Ehh!! but my beer isn't over?" dust said while holding a glass of birr.
" Come on! " i said as I pulled the dust in front of the Guild reception desk.
At that time I went straight in front of the person who was fighting that argument.
"hhhh what are you doing stupid!" said the knight captain of the party archer, as he saw me walking briskly in front of him.
"he felix what are you doing, instead of this disrespectful deed! " say dust with a plain face.
(dust basics! Stupid, why did he corner me) I thought.
"hehehe I'm sorry, I just broke up your conversation before a fight" I said.
"get out of my face stupid, this is just a casual debate" said the captain of the party archer, speaking as he tried to push my body from before him.
At that time my body was pushed from the side but my body did not want to shift at all. The captain who pushed me became glared in disbelief, then he tried with all his might to push my body again.
"Ehnntt, uuuuaahh" cried the captain with all his might pushing me.
At that time all the members of the party archer were surprised by the funny behavior of the captain, but suddenly one of the members approached me.
"stop your stupid behavior, captain. Aren't you ashamed of everything you've done." said one woman from party archer.
Hearing that, the Captain became embarrassed and hid behind his party members.
"hey what do you want from us" said the woman with a serious expression.
"do you want to follow the emergency raid?" I said.
"where do you know"
"well, everyone can hear your captain's screams from afar!.."
"captain basics are useless" the woman said while scolding her captain.
"yahh.pardon us for making a scene." Said the woman.
"if you know what you're arguing about.? My speech.
" actually you all want to follow this emergency raid because we want to immediately climb the ranks, but at this time a tanker we are injured and can not come along. "
" ohh you have the same problem with us" I said
"You mean.?" said the woman.
"as you can see here, we're both tankers, and we're not allowed to follow the emergency raid.,"
"are you able to believe?" said the woman with a suspicious expression.
"you don't have to trust me. I'll just fill the party void for a while, and when we get there we'll split up"
After hearing what I said, the entire Archer party members were noisy with each other and considered something before making a decision.
After a few minutes..
"alright, you can hitchhike until we can be accepted. After that we'll split up"
"thank you for your consideration."
After that we with the party archer tried to outsmart the adventurer guild, by joining and it finally worked, he said,
we were all finally received in the emergency raid that will be held in the next three days.
