Today’s Schedule
“What are you two doing?! The entrance is blocked, so take it somewhere else!”
There she was, our savior! The petite beauty, Saura-san! She had an incredible presence despite her size. I was the same size, so I was envious... I mean, if I wasn’t careful, she’d probably kick me!
“Saura-shan, good mowning!”
“Good morning, Meg-chan! You’re as cute as ever today! That light blue dress suits you so well! So cute!”
I greeted Saura-san, and she rubbed her cheek against mine, her energy level high. Saura-san, you really love physical contact, don’t you?
“You two! If you keep bickering, I’m taking Meg-chan away from you!”
“Ahh! My healing morning!”
Maryla-san, is that your true intention?!
In the end, for some reason, the four of us ended up having breakfast together. Maryla-san seemed dissatisfied with Juma-kun joining us. Really, what happened between them?
Anyway! I had a delicious breakfast in front of me, so I had to focus on that.
“Bread today, huh? Not very filling... Tioris! Any rice left?”
“Of course there is! You want onigiri?”
“Yeah, please.”
I desperately tried to stifle my laughter. Eh, seriously? They have onigiri? This world is amazing. Or maybe just this town? Rice alone was a shock, but I was sure my food life would be alright. To the person who created Japanese food... thank you!!
But my breakfast today was bread. I’d probably get to eat onigiri eventually if I lived here, so there was no need to get upset!
“...You want... onigiri?”
Wait! Was I making that obvious of a face? Uu, when I see someone eating something, it always looks delicious! Not that I’m saying I want some... !
“Oh my, are you curious about onigiri? I’ll make you some for lunch. You wouldn’t be able to finish it if you ate it for breakfast.”
Saura-san crossed her arms and started thinking. Sorry to trouble you... Juma-kun quickly raised his hand.
“I’m free! I can show her around!”
“Juma... I’m a bit concerned about your sense of direction. I was thinking of asking you to play with her or be her bodyguard, since you’re perfect for that.”
“Come on! I can do it!”
“...You can explain what each room is for and the rules that need to be followed? You, who doesn’t even have the word ‘rule’ in your vocabulary!!”
“Guh...!”
Ah, so he was a habitual rule breaker. It made sense. It seemed more like he didn’t even know the rules. ...Hang in there, aniki.
“W-Well, I’m off today, so I can show her around!”
“No. This is official guild work. The rule is to rest on your days off unless it’s an emergency. Maryla, you were on night duty, weren’t you? Get some proper rest.”
“Uu... why did I have to be off today...!”
Maryla-san groaned and slumped over on the table. I appreciate the thought, though...! That was a good rule. Making sure people get proper rest on their days off. ...I wish I could tell my former company’s higher-ups about it!
“Ah, I’ve got the perfect person. But his personality is a bit... I wonder if I should ask Ludo.”
Personality? Everyone I’d met so far was unique enough that I wouldn’t be surprised by anything anymore.
“Asking Dr. Ludo means... D-Don’t tell me it’s... him...?”
Maryla-san’s face contorted. Her expression clearly said, “No way, that can’t be.” B-But was it okay? I was starting to get a little worried.
“Yeah. Let’s ask Reki!”
“As expected...!”
Reki... Ah! I remember hearing that name yesterday. The apprentice nurse, a adolescent boy! I-Is it going to be alright...?
