The Goddess Granted Me the [Hatching] Skill and Somehow I Became the Strongest Tamer, Commanding Mythical and Divine Beasts - 75

Chapter 75: The Housewarming Party

One week had passed since the garden had been finished.

With the help of the Tamer Guild, the once overgrown garden had been cleaned up, and new grass had been planted.

A small vegetable garden and a chicken coop had also been prepared. Life, which had been hectic, finally seemed to be settling down when…

“Yahoo!”

Carol suddenly appeared. Celia was out, and I hadn’t heard the doorbell ring.

Piew!?

Feni, startled by the unexpected appearance of its enemy in its territory, jumped into the air.

“How did you get in?”

This used to be a noble’s mansion. The walls were high and not easily scaled.

I asked Carol how she had gotten in.

“I had Purple come pick me up.”

…♪

Carol easily confessed how she had gotten in.

Purple was eating herbs. It seemed that Purple had agreed to escort Carol in exchange for food.

“Feni, are you not liking something?”

Carol, leaning closer, tried to probe Feni. Once it gets caught, Feni isn’t let go until it gets bored, so that was probably the reason…

Pipipi!

Feni flapped its wings and shook its head. It looked like a chicken being stared down by a cat.

“I really wish you wouldn’t tease Feni like that…”

I wasn’t seriously threatening her, but I gave her a warning.

“By the way, didn’t you have something to do?”

The last time we met was when the mansion was being cleaned, and when Carol came to visit like this, she usually had something to discuss.

“Yeah, there was a notice from Marguerite.”

“I told you we can’t take any requests yet.”

I was told that we shouldn’t take on any national adventurer requests until the mansion was settled.

As I tilted my head in confusion…

“It’s not about that. It’s something else!”

I urged her to continue.

“People who have built a mansion in the noble district must hold a party after they’ve settled in.”

“Eh?”

I froze at Carol’s words.

“What does that mean?”

Confused by Marguerite’s instructions, I visited him the next day.

“We’ve just moved in and are still dealing with the chaos, and we haven’t even taken any national adventurer jobs yet…”

We had fallen behind on the mansion payments and such.

“I apologize for that, but there’s been a strange rumor…”

“Does this have to do with your summoned beasts?”

I asked, and Marguerite shook his head.

“The rumor is, ‘The meat served when the Tamer Guild helped with the Klaus family mansion was so delicious. I can’t forget that taste.'”

That sounded all too familiar.

“We had planned to spread the word among the nobles that the Tamer Guild had helped with the Klaus mansion, but while that was happening, the nobles got interested in the story about the food.”

Marguerite explained the details to me.

“If it were about trading rare materials, we could brush it off, but now that you’ve built a house in the noble district, they insist that you have to hold a party. If they ask for it, we can’t just ignore it.”

It was said to be an unspoken rule.

I had learned that such customs couldn’t be ignored in the town where I used to live.

“The nobles’ obsession with food is serious. This time, you really have no choice but to hold the party.”

Since Marguerite was so firm, it seemed there was no way out of this.

After leaving the Adventurers Guild, I began to think about what I should do…
