About ten days had passed since they left Ymir.

The journey from the fortified city of Ymir to Chiral the Royal Capital would take a little less than one month.

So far, they had traversed around one-third of the journey, and their trip was going wellnot!

Mm~! So tasty~ Going on a trip is fun, we can eat a lot of tasty food in so many different places!

The town of Nova, where Inglis and Rafinha were currently at, was a town close to the mountains, so there were plenty of wild fruits and vegetables to harvest.

Rafinha smiled blissfully when she devoured a slice of pie fully packed with fruits and raspberry jam.

The towns specialty raspberry desserts and sweet treats were all lined up and piled on the diner table Inglis and Rafinha were stopping at.

This was merely the amount left over after they had wolfed down enough for several adult men.

Customers from other tables were, of course, casting a startled look at the pair but they were already used to this kind of attention, so this hardly bothered them at all.

Rani, honestly, arent you eating too much?

But Glis, you eat just as much as I do.

It was just as Rafinha said, the silver-haired girl was stuffing her cheeks with pie just as quickly as Rafinha.

She just couldnt stop herself when there was so much sweet, delicious food in front of her.

While she had been quite fond of eating back in her previous life, it had never been up to this degree. And she hadnt liked sweet food as much either.

However, after being reborn as Inglis Eux, she had developed quite the sweet tooth.

Was this due to being in the body of a female? If so, this was definitely one of the few enjoyments she didnt have in her past life. 1 Dressing up and admiring oneself, smacking ones lips when eating sweet treats, being in a female body was definitely enjoyable at times. 2

Thats true, but this is really a crisis.

What is?

The travel fund. If we dont ration out one meal a day after today, it wont hold until we reach the capital.

EEeeeeehhh!! But that means we cant enjoy the foods in the places we visit next!

Thats right. Thats why I told you, youre eating too much

Then how about this? We take the shortest route and dont visit any

Thats an absolute no! We have to visit the town of Arlman!

It was a little detour from their trip to the Royal Capital but there was a town Inglis really wanted to stop by no matter what.

She had planned this from the very beginning as part of their journey to the capital.

If someone were to ask her what was there in the town of Arlman that Inglis just had to visit, it was the carcass of the strongest magic stone beast that laid there.

Apparently, around more than 50 years ago, a Holy Knight partnered with their Hyrule Menace had defeated one there.

By all means, she wanted to see it with her own eyes. She wanted to feel the strength of that Prisma.

She might not learn anything from it but there might be remaining traces of its might.

That meant that she just had to go there and see it for herself.

Well have to hold back from now on, after all. This is the final luxury we can afford.

No! Then it wont be fun! Our long-awaited trip has to be fun!

Then, what do you want?

If were lacking funds, then we just need to make more! Theres still time until the date that we were supposed to arrive, right?

Well, we did depart earlier to open up some time.

She was conscious of it but Inglis was spoiling Rafinha.

She felt like she was watching her own granddaughter, so she just kept overlooking her hijinks even though she wasnt supposed to.

Even now, she chose to play along with Rafinhas sudden idea.

Okay then, lets make money for the sake of our fun culinary travel! You dont work, you dont eat after all! Its okay, with our skills, it should be no problem for us to make a ton of money!

Yeah. Then, lets do it in the next town!

Scuse me! Miss!

Before Inglis finished her speech, Rafinha already raised her hand to call out the waitress.

It was indeed very Rafinha-like, to quickly take action the moment she made her decision.

Umm Rani, wait

Yes, may I help you? Do you want to order more?

Ah, yes, make it three portions of raspberry pie

Understood. Thank you very much.

Hey, Rani.

Ah, not that! Well, keep the order just as is but can I ask you, where can we find work in this town? One that might require our skill sets with quick but high payout?

Asked Rafinha, showing her Rune to the waitress.

Oh my! Isnt that an outstanding Rune?

Yes. We also have an Artifact!

Rafinhas bow Artifact was one that was suitable for her, a High Grade Artifact.

Ymirs chivalric order hadnt possessed such a good Artifact, instead, this Artifact was hard-earned by Marquis Wilford, especially for her.

When she wielded this artifact, it possessed such high war potential that any run-of-the-mill knight and Magic Stone Beast werent up to par for her.

Despite being so young, youre already such a splendid Knight!

No, well, were still on our way to enroll in the knights academy, though.

At any event, if its a job that fits your requirements, why dont you ask the feudal lord? She is currently recruiting knights and mercenaries. You might be just temporarily lending hands exterminating Magic Stone Beasts but Im sure shell be happy for it.

Aah, that is fitting for us! Isnt that right, Glis?

Rafinhas eyes shone brightly

That is true, but Umm, that is because of the lack of soldiers, right? May I ask why?

It is because the feudal lord just changed, and she drove out bad Knights and mercenaries from the previous lords time. Thanks to that, the town has become much safer and the tax has lessened. However, as a result, she lost a lot of manpower. Although, that doesnt mean that she will just accept any applicants.

I see, she is quite bold to expel the previous retainers.

Well, must be because she isnt affiliated or even related to any of those people. After the noble house that ruled this land was kicked out, the whole area moved directly under the jurisdiction of the Highland. The current feudal lord is a Highlander, you know.

The waitress said casually. 3
