605 Wherever Art Salvation? Right Here
Now then, I got up and dressed up early.
Today is the request day. I had just sit down on the sofa and closed my eyes when someone knocked the door to my room.
"Pardon. May I inquire if you're ready? I will be in charge of leading the way for you."
"Yes, I'm up. Be right there."
"Yes, let us depart once you have breakfast. I do not believe you have taken one, no?"
The door was still closed while we had this conversation. Right, I haven't had breakfast yet. I opened the door to have the guide wait inside.
"Pleasure to make your acquaintance. I am Berum, I will be your guide during this matter. I sincerely hope for a fruitful endeavor."
"Ah, you can do away with that formal tone. Just speak like you usually do. I bet you don't like acting so servile to someone obviously younger like me anyway."
The guide was a long blond beautiful woman in her late twenties. Her straight posture and her stern expression gives off a strong willed impression.
"Ah, for real? Welp, I'mma do just that. You betcha I'm bad with all that formal stuff. Appreciated. So uh... how old are you again anyway?"
My meal got brought in the room even before I could ask for it.
Berum made herself comfortable on the sofa in the meantime.
I short circuited a bit at her sudden change of attitude. She's like a delinquent. Or more like a juvie?
"Ah, err, I'm 15."
It took my all to get that out. Since there was this spicy aroma stimulating my nose that felt so familiar. I almost had no capacity left to attend to her.
The golden colored something has been put on the table.
Yep, it's curry. Nepal curry-like type at that.
I was deeply emotional at this. There's rice, there's curry. Therefore it's possible to reproduce curry rice in this world.
The curry before me appears to be chicken based. No guarantee it's chicken meat for real though. This is fantasy after all.

"Haa? I'm not trying to be rude for real here, but you're just a brat. Why'd anyone let some snot-nosed kid go and deal with a magic beast? The heck."
I pulled myself together after hearing Berum's badmouth, but I had no time to care for her as I took a bite of the curry.
I'll say it again and again. This world is fantasy. You can't let your guard down until you've got a taste.
There would be nothing but despair had the taste utterly betrayed my expectation. So much so, I'm not sure I could get back on my foot quickly.
But the world was kind to me. It truly tasted like bona fide curry.
"Uuuu... I'm gonna cry... Salvation is here."
Berum got taken aback, 'What the hell...' when she saw me eating crying but I couldn't care less about that at this time.
I finished my meal in no time and sipped my tea. That was the best.
Yet it doesn't seem like I have the time to take it easy.
"Oy, get a move on! We gotta work fast to minimize damage if we're gonna exterminate that thing. Our contacts are waiting for us. Save the rest til after it's done."
Berum forcefully urged me to get up from my chair.
Which prompted me to whisper.
"Man, that's some foul mouth from a beauty. Would've been nice if she could take it down a notch. What a waste."
"Haahn!? You shut your trap! I ain't need your advice, ya dumbarse!"
She heard my whisper and yelled at me loudly. Berum also swung her fist toward my head which I easily dodged as I made my way out of my room.
I heard her grinding her teeth in frustration, 'Y, you little...'. I paid that no heed and finished checking out.
