39 - Not a lonely gourmet ~crunchy chicken sandwich~

RAW

I decide to leave the cat-type earth familiar in the monster cuisine researcher young lady’s care.
I tell her.

“About that familiar, I will lend it to you for one day, so please have it learn various things. At that time, if you find any discomfort or flaw in its use, I’d like you to tell me about it in detail, would you be willing to do that?”

“Yes, I understand. I think it's already amazing enough, but we won't know what kind of flaw it might have unless we put it into practice.”

I left the remaining small dolphin-type water familiar to the receptionist.
I decided to leave the bird-type wind familiar to the guild chief. Or rather, he is the only person in the guild who can use [Familiar].

I left the dog-type fire familiar with Midia after she returned from borrowing a sword, and the rabbit-type light familiar was materialized by me with my magical power and placed in a basket that floated with [Wand Flower].
How much can they learn by living a daily life as it is with their learning ability?
It's time to start verifying that there are no flaws or abnormalities.
Holding the Herkovara wand, I look at the time and sigh.

“It’s noon already, huh...”

It was Midia whose stomach rumbled.
She says, “I forgot to eat breakfast since I was chasing senpai.” This girl is really...
However, the address of the wand researcher that the elf from before gave me. It's located far away from the guild, so it would be better to leave the guild, have lunch on the way, and visit there.

“Aah, I'll just buy from a stall.”

While moving from the guild, I found stalls selling lunch at every key point and stopped at a stall that were selling buns that I could eat while moving.

“Welcome! This is the [Crunchy Chicken Sandwich] recommended for lunch! One piece costs 30 copper coins~”

“Aah, then. I’ll take that――”

Before I can check with Midia, who is accompanying me while sticking to me, she tells the clerk, “Two of them.”
This was further interrupted by someone who raises his voice at the lined up buns sandwiches.

“Ah―! Old man!! This one looks more delicious! It's full of thick sauce!!”

“...”

No, why are you following me! I endure the urge to shout, and say to the man who is evaluating other products, Randy.

“Midia and I are fine with this.”

Midia, while staring coldly at him, asks him in my place, “Why are you following us?”, but I also warned her in a small voice, “Be careful with your mouth, because this guy is a noble.”
Eventually, Randy, who bought a sandwich with thick sauce and chicken with savory vegetables, asks me earnestly, “No, you see”.

“I also want a cane, you know~. That's why I’ll go with the old man, and while I was at it, I thought I’d get a cane somehow.”

“...When it comes to high grade wands, a few gold coins won’t be enough, you know?”

“That's not it! I also want a wand flower like yours, old man, so I want a wand that has good compatibility. Unexpectedly, I might find a cheap wand with a good compatibility, won’t I?”

What a simple guy...
“Senpai.” Midia complains in dissatisfaction. I have some time to waste while they are following me, but this might be a good time to test the familiars.
For now, I ask each familiar.

“My name is?”

Immediately, the rabbit-type light familiar replied, “It's Josiah-sama.” After a little delay, the dog-type flame familiar answers “Josiah”.
Then, next is.

“What's the name of the guy Midia calls ‘senpai’?”

“It’s Josiah-sama.” “――...Josiah.”

“Who does Randy Leimbacher-sama call [old man]?”

“It’s Josiah-sama.” “――...Josiah.”

...For now, there seems to be no problem.
Randy asks strangely, “was that necessary?” but Midia says while eating her sandwich.

“Necessary. They can properly distinguish whether it's a real name or a nickname.”

“Are you saying they can mistake the old man's name as [Old Man]? That’s just too stupid, right?”

“That's why it's such a difficult process. This is the reason why it’s so difficult to complete a perfect living familiar?”

“Hah―… I really don’t get it at all.”

Randy admires them with a faraway look. As we travel while eating lunch, I teach the familiars various things along the way and perform some tests by asking them questions, all of which takes tens of minutes.
We arrived at the aforementioned address.
