Adventurers Are Obsessed With My Cooking

Episode 26. Sanctuary of Tamers

“I can see it now!”

Arrived.

This is where the dungeon called Blue Wolf Hill exists.

Holy ground for tamer players.

One of the largest villages in Salem is called Village under the Hill.

But people say this.

That village is a dog lover’s paradise.

Doggy! Wow!

Even before reaching the entrance of the village, a loud dog howl is heard.

“Are you doing it here? A group request?”

Mumu asked.

“It’s exactly what we do in the dungeon, because the nearest town is here. This is where we start.”

We entered the village without hesitation.

“Whoaaah-“

Melissa exclaimed.

Huge crowds of people were out on the main road in town.

Even so, it is a large town, so it has a lot of floating population, but due to this incident, many adventurers as well as territory knights came and made a noise.

Plus, there are more different breeds of dogs than there are people.

It creates a noisy atmosphere like a marketplace right before a holiday.

If you put it in a good way, yes, if you put it in a bad way, it was a mess.

“Doggy!”

Some dogs that noticed us came over and waggled their tails.

It shows no fear or hostility toward humans.

“Kyaa- cute!”

“I, go away… I, I don’t like the taste…”

Melissa picked up a dog she didn’t even know her owner and cuddled.

Meanwhile, Mumu got scared and hid behind Lemon’s butt.

“Jjjjjjjju…”

But Lemon seemed to like dogs too, so he was squatting and petting their chins.

Mumu hurriedly moved behind my back.

“So cute…”

“Do you like dogs?”

“Yeah…”

Lemon still doesn’t stare into my eyes, but he smiles softly as he strokes the puppies.

There was comfort on his face.

‘Fortunately, it seems to have been brushed off well.’

I thought I hadn’t shaken off the emotions of last night since I had lowered my helm’s guard since the morning.

But looking at it now, it seems fine.

‘Come to think of it, this is the first time I’ve seen him make that expression.’

I think you can rest assured about her.

‘I too… I was swept away by my emotions in an instant and even said useless words.’

My face burns when I think about what happened last night.

It’s not some kind of love confession.

‘It has to be lemon seeds’.

‘Well, thanks to her, she joined the party…’

That’s it, and embarrassing is embarrassing.

I hope she forgets.

“Then, Melissa and Mr. Lemon are here. I will take Mumu to the adventurer’s guild. The city has already accepted the request, but you will have to show your face. Because that’s what it was.”

“Kyahahahaha, it tickles me.”

“Yeah…”

Melissa was distracted by the puppies as well as several large dogs, and Lemon nodded her head quietly.

I took the frightened Mumu and headed to the adventurer’s guild.

“Does Mumu hate dogs?”

“It’s not that I don’t like it… I’m just… Scared.”

“Why, do you remember being bitten as a child?”

“No. It’s not like that… There’s a house with a very big dog near my house. He’s been barking at me ever since. I didn’t do anything… I just threw something to eat. Continue… So…”

I spoke while lightly stroking Mumu’s head.

“There are dogs like that. But you can rest assured with the dogs here. The villagers here are all breeders. From the moment a dog is born until it becomes an adult, it is disciplined in a variety of ways, so it is not likely to bite or attack humans. It’s probably not the case. If there was a dog like that, it would have been kicked out of this town.”

“But…”

“Since the place is a place, various dogs will also participate in this quest. They are professionally trained combat dogs, so they won’t attack humans, but they will be very ferocious against monsters. If you don’t adapt in advance, you will have trouble later?”

“Huh…”

Mumu’s lips protruded all the way forward.

“There’s nothing to be afraid of. After a while, you can practice being friendly with dogs.”

“With you?”

“Yes. I think it would be better to start with small puppies and gradually increase in size. Can you do that?”

“Hmm… I’ll try… I’ll try.”

I smiled brightly at Mumu.

Mumu also smiled at me.

“We’re all here. Let’s go in.”

“Yes!”

And before we knew it, we had arrived in front of the adventurer’s guild.

* * *

In the adventurer’s guild, there were not only adventurers but also some territory knights.

Not the guild receptionist, but the leader of the Knights of the Territory personally greeted me.

It was the same as three months ago.

“Oh, are you a summoner? Have you received this request?”

“Yes. This is the way to get it from Palais.”

He looked me up and down.

“Starting with the equipment, it doesn’t look like a friend in Salem… What level is it?”

“It’s 84.”

“Heh heh, this is amazing! I’ve had a good time. Ha ha ha. So, are you alone? Are you with your colleagues?”

There is one reason why the captain of the knights welcomes my high level and still seeks out other colleagues.

Because I am a priest.

Dealers with high combat power are needed to defeat evil spirits and summons.

This quest has a high level of difficulty.

Even if you are a Territorial Knight, you may be injured or even lose your life.

There is no reason not to welcome the help of a high-level, excellent summoner.

“There is one Shield Knight. She will hold his head in case something goes wrong.”

“That’s right. That’s very welcome! hahahaha. But you can’t make him appear!”

The knight, who laughed heartily, put on a solemn expression at the end.

‘It might be the same for the knights, but…’

First of all, the main point.

I showed him the medal I received from the lord.

“Somehow, your lord seems to have sent you. Thank you! It’s because of a summoner like you that Salem can keep the peace like this. I’ll pay my respects.”

“You don’t have to. Of course.”

“You take the lead in this case. I’ll talk to my knights and tell them not to disturb your party.”

“Thank you. Me and…”

I brought up an important story.

“After completing the quest, we plan to visit there for a while.”

“Ah, that’s it… Hmm… I get it first. I’ll have my men make sure to crack down on people’s mouths.”

I held out my hand to the knight commander with a bright smile.

The captain of the knights I saw before frowned when I said I would visit the place, but the captain of the knights this time readily agreed.

So a handshake was good enough.

‘With this, the preparations are over…’

“When are you planning to leave?”

“Departure is tomorrow night. Time is running out. I wanted to leave sooner, but as you can see, the number of adventurers participating in the quest is too small. But there’s nothing to worry about now. A great summoner like you has appeared. Ahahahahaha. .”

He said that the number of adventurers was insufficient, but more precisely, the decrease in the number of summoners roaming this dungeon was probably the cause.

This is an event-type quest, so the rewards are pretty good.

However, people who have already left for other regions wait for a long time of three months, so there is no need to return here at the right timing.

There is also the problem of zero new players.

‘That’s why I can openly play pranks on this side.’

“Mister… Your expression is scary…”

“Oh, huh? Ah, sorry. hahahahaha.”

Yikes.

Unknowingly, it seems that my inner wickedness has been revealed on my face.

‘Still, I have to do what I have to do.’

It failed three months ago.

At that time, the number of summoners who participated in this quest was enormous.

Even if they tried to play a joke, they couldn’t even try because of the overwhelming number.

But this time, it’s probably just me and Mr. Lemon.

Players who participate in this quest.

So, of course, you should try.

How to increase the rewards of this quest exponentially.

Even if it results in the land knights being surprised and upside down.

* * *

“Kyaang! Go, it tickles… Ah, why are you licking that thing!”

The little puppy licks Mumu’s face here and there.

‘I adapted quickly…’

It’s just that the beginning is difficult.

It’s not as good as Melissa, but MooMoo also boasts a great affinity.

It was only a matter of time before she became acquainted with her dog.

Three girls are having fun surrounded by various dogs and puppies.

Of course, about one of them was wearing thick plate armor all over their body, which was a bit too much to be called a girl…

‘At least in times like this, you should do some tricks, lady.’

Fortunately, the dogs didn’t care at all about how she was dressed.

Probably because she has been trained since the moment she was born.

‘But hey… We’re here for a quest…?’

No matter how much they leave tomorrow, they are really carefree guys.

“Hmm?”

One of the dogs comes up to me and bangs his head on her leg.

“Get down!”

I fell straight down.

“Hands!”

She put out her front leg.

“How is it?”

Should I say that it is also like a dog living in the Tamer’s Sanctuary?

These dogs were bred and trained to be used by tamers, whether they be residents of this world, land knights, or players.

This is the typical starting point for players who started the game as a tamer.

‘But now the tamers…’

Like my Resurrection, Tamers also lost their main weapon and the means to resurrect their fellow animals.

Tamer animals die far more often than players, but once they die, it’s the end.

Because of this, they were the first to sing the song after being brought to this land for the first time.

‘Because all the cash pets died…’

In particular, Tamers who had grown up with attachments for a long time, or who had grown up with them, left overnight and were greatly frustrated.

‘I don’t know where all of them are and what they are doing.’

“Old man hee hee!”

“Hmm?”

I was thinking about the past for a moment when Melissa suddenly called me.

“Why? You don’t play with them anymore?”

“No, that’s not it…”

“Then?”

“Well, after playing too much, now I’m hungry…”

“Anyway, these guys…”

What kind of mother am I?

“What do you want to eat!”

“Before!”

“Roast meat!”

“I… Give me… Anything.”

How cool.

Now, even that woman orders sour lemons with confidence.

“Wait! I’ll do it right away.”

But I didn’t feel bad at all.

Rather, a pleasant smile hung over my face before I knew it.

“Uncle, you’re the best!”

* * *

[You have entered Blue Wolf Hill.]

The next night, we entered the dungeon.

Inside the dungeon, many knights were already lined up, and large combat dogs sat next to them.

“Are you here, Summoner! Open the way, everyone! Anyone who interferes with Summoner’s party will not be forgiven by the Knight Commander, let alone I!”

The knights opened the way for our party to pass through with their well-thought-out and neat movements.

Seeing this, the children as well as Lemon widened their eyes.

Then he turned his head towards me.

“hahahaha… I guess I’m kinda… Famous. At least here…”

“As expected, our delicious man (who cooks a lot of delicious dishes)!”

“You’re so cool! It’s the first time I’ve seen Territory Knights do that!”

Perhaps it was their first time being treated like this, the children made a fuss.

Lemon was also looking at me with a puzzled face.

Didn’t seem to have any complaints.

Rather, don’t you think you’ve come to the party well?

But they didn’t know.

It is unlikely that the biggest villain of this quest is none other than Jeon Tae-min, the leader of the party they belong to.

“What the hell are you doing! Are you crazy!?”

“Ahhhhh, the old man is strange…”

“Why, why did you do that? Didn’t we come all the way here to carry out this request?”

Jeon Tae-min said to them, who were frightened.

With a very calm face.

“Sorry. This was my intention from the beginning.”
