Chapter 772
Ms. Delia knew about konjac
Ms. Delia certainly was on the slender side, like a model. Which helped to explain her swift movements.
“Konjac? Rare?”
“Uh, you know about it, Ms. Delica?”
“Huh? Oh, they made it in the village with the potatoes grown in the fields. I ate them a lot as a child.”
“I see...”
“So they were grown in your village.”
As there was a lot of trade in Ractos, I knew it must come from somewhere...but apparently, it was from Ms. Delia’s village.
Perhaps there were other villages that grew them as well.
“Hearing about them makes me hungry.”
“Aren’t you a little bored of them by now?”
“Well, they were very delicious when cooked by the grandmothers. That being said, they can also be eaten without cooking them.”
Normally, if you ate it raw, there was a harshness to it. And so you would boil it first...
“I’m also from the orphanage and know a lot about this town...”
For some reason, Phillip was acting like he had been slighted...
“Phillip, you left the orphanage quite early compared to Lyra, didn’t you? You were training with the master... And the town has changed since then. Besides, you are on guard duty, so you must remain cautious.”
“Johanna... Well, it’s true that things have changed since then. That being said, I don’t know if we are even necessary with Leo and Ms. Delia here.”
“Still, it is our role.”
It was no surprise that he would have doubts, after seeing what Ms. Delia did recently. And with Leo with us. It was important to have trained humans protecting us as well. Surely.
“In any case, I think Ms. Delia and Ms. Lyra working together will get us there the quickest.”
“Yes...”
“Certainly...”
“We can finally eat the konjac then! I’m looking forward to it!”
“Uh, Claire...it’s not like eating it alone will make you lose wait. So please don’t expect too much...”
Leo, Liza, Sherry and Tilura were clearly not interested in any of this.
Though, Sherry had lost plenty of weight after all the running that Leo made her do. So her dieting would likely end soon.
