"Here you go." Clovis brought a huge plate with the cockatrice nuggets. Early in the morning, he went to the convenience stores to buy all kinds of things to accompany the nuggets and ice cream.
Since he had seven item limits, he bought four cockatrice nuggets and three minotaur ice creams. He wanted to test whether they would notice it or not, since he had prepared several excuses to fool them for the ti being.
While waiting, Kanaria was compiling their files and missions. Before they started eating, she showed the recomndations to Clovis.
"By the way, what do you think about this person? I asked my mother yesterday, but she said that while her character was questionable, her skill was pretty high." Kanaria asked, showing the information.
"Hmm?" Just like Kanaria, when he saw the recomndations of the other two people, it was quite impressive. But when he reached the third one, he couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows.
"Well, you're going to choose our operator. So, you can take your ti. At least, we have to give an answer before twelve."
Clovis thought for a mont. "Can you ask her this question? If she is lazy, doesn't that an she is useless? If she answers with 'No,' accept her. If her reply cos in the form of an explanation, I'm going to pick the other two. Anyway, you can talk to her for now.
I'm going to the convenience store to buy so stuff."
Kanaria tilted her head in confusion. She didn't expect that Clovis had another opinion about this person.
Then again, Clovis had made a decision, so it would be better to test it.
This was the first ti he ate sothing that needed to be cooked. Before, all the canned food from Another World Mall tasted quite the sa. But considering this was Tier 1, he expected that it would be either better or worse.
That was why he was the first one to grab the nugget to taste it. But the mont he bit it, Clovis couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"Mhm?!" Clovis looked at it for a mont, thinking, 'Delicious. What the hell? The texture itself was similar to that of chicken but more tender. There was a burst of flavor as well that lingered in my mouth. Is this really the difference in at quality? If Tier 2 food will be more delicious than this, I wonder how the taste of dragon's at will be when I reach Tier 8 or Tier 9.'
"The hell? Since when did chicken nuggets beco this good?" Jay raised his eyebrows. Even Kanaria covered her mouth in disbelief.
"What's wrong? Did the young master not have any chicken nuggets back ho? Well, you must have a personal chef working in your mansion." Clovis smirked, teasing Jay.
Jay looked away, not being able to deny it. Kanaria was the sa since both of their families were at the sa level.
"We do cook so monster at, but I often sneak out to grab so fast food, you know. It's just a guilty pleasure." Jay stuck out his tongue.
"Hahaha." Clovis chuckled. As expected, the cockatrice nuggets beca popular as they kept grabbing one after another as if the others were trying to steal from them.
Without realizing it, they had eaten all the nuggets.
"Damn. That's not enough." Jay sighed, feeling a bit disappointed even though he was the one who ate the most.
"Well, I can always restock it. Or we can always gather here in my house to cook it. This way, you don't have to deal with your family's food."
"Sounds good." Jay nodded in agreent. "But it seems that my dad urged to go back. I sohow don't want to go back, but he is saying that he will co to this place if I don't return. So, sorry… I'm not going to stay over today."
"That's fine. Family is important." Clovis waved his hand as if it were not a big deal. Although his parents and grandfather were still alive, he couldn't et them. So, he actually supported Jay if he wanted to go back.
anwhile, Kanaria received the reply to the question earlier. "She replied with 'No.' That's all. It's like what you said, Clovis."
"Alright. We will hire her then."
"Still, I can't understand why you want to hire her if that's her answer. Is there a catch here?"
"If she is truly lazy, then she won't bother to explain it. In other words, her ability should be like what your mother vouched for. If she is going to explain her laziness, it's fake laziness.
"That's why I asked whether she was useless or not. If she is not useless, she must have done the bare minimum of the jobs. So, the rest of the consideration is about her tier. Tier 2 humans should be able to protect themselves."
"Oh!" Kanaria nodded in understanding. "But the bare minimum, huh… Shouldn't we take the proactive one?"
"Not really. More often than not, the proactive ones are bound to ss up in one way or another. After all, they might do sothing they are not confident in." Clovis shook his head.
"Oh!" Kanaria thought for a mont. "anwhile, the lazy one doesn't do anything they are not confident in. And when needed, they might do things one step further since it's still within their capability. In the end, they only complete the bare minimums."
"Yup. That's the reason why I want to get her."
Kanaria nodded in understanding. "I have sent the request to her. We should be able to get a response soon. I'll also ask her about the devices that we need for the next exploration."
"In that case, I'm going back now. I have to undergo nurous scoldings after this." Jay sighed.
"Hahaha." Clovis chuckled. "Sure. If you need anything, you can call . I will do my best to help you."
Kanaria also stood up while saying, "I'm going to send all the mission's details later. Since this is the first ti we're fighting on the surface, I hope that everyone can go through the details."
"Got it." Clovis nodded and walked with them outside. It was only for a day, but the loneliness he had suffered in the last year had been erased. There would be more opportunities like this anyway. "Good luck."
"See you tomorrow, Clovis."
