It's not my fault that our meals are terrible.

If they give me more time and budget, I can cook much better food.

Phew, what should I serve the gluttons today? What would they like...?

The reputation of the twins in USU? You're an adventurer. Why do you ask such a thing?

You have been requested by that unit... Then I should tell you.

Several years ago, commander Ericsson brought them here.

Sounds like he brought them from an orphanage.

They took the training without any problem and excelled in shooting. They quickly were able to play a role of a Rebellion.

They have been trainees for a while and several month ago, they went on the real mission for the first time. That's when they stirred up trouble.

Some people said that the younger sister threw a grenade at the civilian zone. But I don't know the exact story.

After that, they were moved to USU, became more educated, etc. There was a fuss.

That's when they began to disobey their seniors.

I think I heard that's what they've been doing... ever since.

Before that, they were trainees and had more free time than other squadders. They would visit the mess once in a while, receive some snacks and chat with us.

After that incident, they never came. Just by hearing the stories about them, I don't feel like they are the same kids I used to know.

They used to be better than this... I hope you can take cake of them.

This is all I can tell you.

[

(I heard a similar story from others...

Maybe the keyword is the incident that happened at the real mission.

I should go back to the twins and ask them about it.)

Cookies? Made by the twins?

Oh... Those kids. They visited the mess and asked me for several things. Is this the outcome?

I hope they are not trying to poison me...

Hey, I'm just kidding. Don't look at me like that.

They seem to have found their former character. That's good. You did a great job.

...By the way, where are the cookies?

You don't have anything for me? What a shame! Well~ I like cookies too~

So don't look at me like that!!

Just give me the cookies!

Hey, you! Adventurer?

What's the matter?

Yo! Thanks to your support, I'm sure our seniors will enjoy the tea time today!

Oops... Again?

No thanks. Our seniors don't eat tea and snacks for every meal! Once a day is enough.

But thank you for your kindness. Haha!

Wow! You came again! may I ask you to get the snacks for our seniors?

How did I know you are an adventurer? It's simple.

A stranger rarely visits this place. So someone like you draws everybody's attention.

These people must return quickly in emergency, so they cannot go too far from here.

Therefore, I would like to ask you for a favor... Actually for several. Because it has to be done outside.

I am very busy because I have to feed the gluttons~ Well now~ I hope you can do something for me~

Oh~ You're so mean. What a shame.

This is why we should never talk to outsiders. Am I right? Charity~

... Where did my lovely and sweet cat go...?

Oh, I am so gloomy and lonely!! The adventurer rejected my request!!

Oh, Thank you! The adventurer is so cool!

I would like to ask you to get some snacks.

No, no. Don't look at me like that. They are not for me.

Do you know our seniors who live on the 2nd floor? Have you met them?

They enjoy tea time every day.

So I try to get prepare the best tea and snacks... But it's hard to find them in this out-of-the-way place.

Since I have to cook for our gluttons, I cannot go out too far. So I am sorry that I haven't been able to prepare something delicious.

You are an adventurer who travels around the whole world! Please bring something delicious for our seniors and me!

If the food is too expensive, it might me troublesome for you to get it. Please bring one of the following list.

Let's see. Grape Herb Tea, Orchid Black Tea, Honey Herb Tea, Chocolate Mousse Cake... or Fruits Mix.

If you bring one of them, our seniors will be happy.

I am not asking you to get all of them. Just one of them will be fine.

It doesn't matter whether you make it on your own or not. I count on you~

What have you brought? I will read the list.

Tell me what you brought!

Well, I see. Although you are an adventurer, they are not easy to get. Aren't they?

All I can get around this place are butter with an unpleasant smell and withered herbs. I can't make anything nice with them.

It's just a lack of my ability, haha!

Well! Haha, thank you for your kindness!

Give it to me!

... What, you haven't brought any of them?

Oh, it's been a long time since Charity went out. She ate all the forage!

Maybe she will come back after enjoying her stroll. If she doesn't come back, please find her again!

Hey, adventurer. Do you know the idol of our unit?

Aigu? Hehe. Aigu is everyone's idol.

It is the beautiful cat who stays right here! Inside the basket beneath this stairway.

It's name is Charity! Some guys say it is Arunafeltz Purebred Laherin Shorthair. Actually she just came to us and started living together. So we don't know her breed or age.

The important thing is, Charity is so lovely and cute!

By the way... Charity loves strolling and she spends about half of the day wandering outside. Look at this. I gave her forage this morning and she hasn't eaten half of it yet.

Perhaps somebody is feeding her outside... But I want to feed her good forage. If somebody gives her rotten food... It must not happen.

She shouldn't be fay away. Could you please find Charity in Einbech?

These Anchovy cookies are Charity's favorite snack. Put the cookies on benches in various places of the village and call Charity. If she comes out, please bring her to me.

If she doesn't come out... You can go somewhere else to find her. Maybe she cannot hear you at once. In that case, put Anchovy cookies on the bench and call Charity again.

I have to prepare the meal for gluttons... Could you go bring Charity?

Charity... You're getting late. I hope nothing happened to you.

I'm sure people will stop her from rushing to the train of entering the mine. Right?

Hey! Please say yes. Am I right? People like you will protect her, won't they?

Thank you! I will give you enough Anchovy cookies.

They are for cats. Give them to Charity and bring back the rest of them. Make sure you don't eat them.

Oops? You've come back in empty hands. Where are your Anchovy cookies? Have you run out of them already?

...Don't tell me you ate them all.

I never thought that you'd actually eat them. Did you eat them?

Oh, I'm kidding. Did Charity steal them from you? She's so fast and she can do that.

Anyway, I'll give you the Anchovy cookies again. Please keep them safe. This time, you return with Charity and Anchovy cookies!

Have you found Charity? If she doesn't show up, call her several times on the same spot.

Who knows? She might be afraid of you because you are a stranger. Charity is a smart cat. Show her that you are harmless.

Hmm... It's been a while since Charity went out...

But not such a long time for us to worry about her.

To tell the truth!! I want to see Charity!! I want to pet her!! I miss her so much!

...So, let me give you Anchovy cookies again. Please find Charity.

Put them on Village Bench in Einbech and call Charity. Will you help me?

Charity... Charity...

Arrgh... Charity... I hope they write on my tombstone that I died while missing Charity so much...

Please, adventurer... Will you write it on it? Please say yes...

Thanks! Go and get her please.

Oh... I'm suffering from withdrawal symptoms... Charity... I should pet her as soon as possible to recover...

Use the Anchovy cookies to find Charity and bring the rest of them!

Make sure you don't eat them. Got it?

Oh, I'm kidding. Did Charity steal them from you? Phew, she is too fast...

[Charity]

Meow~

Oh . . . ! !

Charity! I'm so glad you are all right! Look at her soft hairs! Charity!!

I'm the one who brought her and he doesn't seem to care about me...

Miss Charity! You must have been exhausted after being brought by this dusty adventurer.. Shall I prepare the bathwater? Or your meal first? Or... Can I pet you first?!

Are they doing this on purpose?

Miss Charity! I'm glad you are all right! You are beautiful as usual, Charity!!

Miss Charity! You must have been exhausted after being brought by this dusty adventurer.. Shall I prepare the bathwater? Or... Can I pet you first?

Well, I guess that's the way they live.

Hey, she's quite mean.

...... What a cat.

You didn't have a meal? As far as I know, every creature including humans and cats become aggressive when they are hungry~

Do you want a warm meal? Well, I cannot guarantee the taste.

You brought it as you promised! A

All I can get around this place

It looks delicious! Thank you for your kindness!

Thank you so much for making our seniors happy!

I have to prepare for the tea time tomorrow as well... If you don't mind, could you bring it again tomorrow?
