Chapter 86 – Treated to a Yakitori
“For now, sit there.”
That was what Kamasse told me to sit on, a stone bench on the side of the main street in Yoshanka.
There were many benches in Yoshanka.
They were scattered everywhere.
It was not so much a bench but a pile of leftover building materials that have been left as they were. And due to people sitting on them for a long time, the edge has come off these stones, and they have become real benches, both in name and reality.
So, setting aside the technicalities, these were indeed benches.
They were definitely benches.
Leaving that aside…
“What? Business?”
I tilted my head as I stared at Kamasse.
The match was over yesterday, so there’s no reason for Kamasse to bother me anymore, right?
Kamasse sighed at my appearance.
“Hey, you… don’t cause trouble for the stall, you. That old man was crying. What did you do to him…”
“Side-to-side jumps…”
“Why!?”
“I wanted him, to sell me yakitori…”
“Why would someone who wants to buy yakitori make the shop owner cry by doing side-to-side jumps!?”
That… I can only say it was because of the course of the event!
Grooowl…..!
Oops.
My stomach growled loudly.
Seeing this, Kamasse furrowed his brow and looked a bit troubled.
“….. Yakitori, you didn’t get to buy it, did you?”
I nodded.
Whoooooosh……
The strong sea breeze drowned it out, but I could tell that Kamasse sighed again.
And then.
“…Here.”
“!!!?”
And then Kamasse extended ‘one’ of the large yakitori he was holding in both hands toward me!
Eh!? This is…!?
He’s giving it to me…!!?
My eyes shifted back and forth between the yakitori and Kamasse’s face several times.
“Stop it. Stop comparing me and the yakitori at super high speed. It’s too fast, scary…… Ahem, you’re hungry, right? I’ll give it to you.”
U-… Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!
Kamasse! Kamasseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
You…..!
You’re really a good guyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!
I forgive you!
I forgive you for everything, like your cocky attitude when we met and pointing your sword at me!!!
“Tha… thank, you.”
I cried.
Once again, I cried loudly.
With a blank expression on my face, with tears streaming down my face, I took the yakitori skewers from ‘both’ of Kamasse’s hands.
“Ah, wait, you…!!”
Kamasse was saying something, but it didn’t reach my ears.
It’s delicious… yakitori, it’s deliciousssssssssssssssssssssss!!!
“Hey! Don’t mess with me! One of them is mine! Don’t eat both of them! And hey, stop it, don’t eat the skewer too! Spit out the skewer! Spit it out!”
The crispy skin, the juicy meat juice…!
A wonderful tastes similar to bacon, similar to chicken thigh meat yakitori skewer…!
It’s delicious… it’s deliciousssssssssssssssssssssss!!!
Thank you! Thank you so much Kamasse…!!
He was shaking my shoulder and screaming in my ear, but sorry, I don’t have time to listen to you right now.
But I’m really grateful!
Thank you, Kamasse!!!
◇ ◇ ◇
“…It was delicious.”
“Well then, at least make a more delicious face when you eat it, you idiot. And damn it, you ate both of them…”
After eating.
Satisfied with the taste and immersed in the aftertaste of the meat, Kamasse complained to me while hanging his head for some reason.
But it couldn’t be helped that I have no expression.
My facial muscles just didn’t work.
“…Well, whatever. I can buy more Togord skewers. Hey, cursed child.”
“What?”
“What’s your name?”
“Emmy.”
“I see. Emmy.”
Kamasse stared at my face for a moment and then suddenly bowed his head.
“…I’m sorry. Emmy, I caused you trouble.”
…Eh?
Kamasse apologized out of the blue.
I was stunned but Kamasse continued to speak.
“You know, I’m a genius.”
And he smoothly boasted about himself.
What is he talking about?
“Since I was a kid, I’ve never lost to anyone in swordsmanship or magic. Because I’m a genius, because I’m strong, I thought I could do whatever I wanted. I got carried away as they called me ‘the future special-class adventurer’ and stuff like that. But then I lost to you… I even lost to you in herb gathering… and I was able to calm down a bit.”
He raised his face as he said that, and his face was red, seemingly embarrassed.
“So… I’m sorry. And thank you. I think if I had stayed like that, I would have become more arrogant and more unpleasant. So, um… er… damn it!”
He couldn’t get his thoughts together, and he stumbled over his words.
“Anyway, I’m going to become more amazing and stronger than you! Watch me! I’m not going to stay weaker than you forever! Then!!!”
He declared that and ran away somewhere in no time.
«…He said what he wanted to say and left.»
Yeah.
This is, you know,
That’s just Kamasse for you.
Even during our herb-gathering competition yesterday, it was a similar story.
He tends to cut off conversations before I can react. It’s quite troublesome.
…But.
«He doesn’t seem like a bad person, does he?»
Yeah.
Kamasse is a good guy.
He treated me to yakitori after all.
«……..»
……..
«By the way, Emmy.»
What? Omake-sama.
«You were looking for someone to accompany you on herb gathering, weren’t you?»
Yeah.
«…Wouldn’t it have been better to ask Kamasse?»
…
Ah.
By the time I realized it, it was already too late.
Kamasse had already left to fulfill some request or another, and I couldn’t catch up to him.
«Um… What should we do now, Emmy? Should we wait for Kamasse to come back?»
Well, that is also an option, but…
«…? Do you have another idea?»
Yeah… Well, I did come up with one more thing.
Since I don’t know when Kamasse will return… I think I’ll give that a try first.
«Everything that we can try, it is better to try it, I think.»
Yeah.
Then, I think I’ll go to the Kaize Forest again today.
Grilled chicken skewers alone won’t fill my stomach.
And while there, I’ll eat some snakes.
I started running towards the forest.
Surely going through the main gate would be a hassle, so I used [Silverfish] to climb over the outer wall.
