12 12 Breaking The Story
"70th… Shirlic Herbs… Rein-san! Our bonus reward will be high today as well!" Tilda said happily.
What she pulled out was our quest ingredients used for alchemy as well. It was similar to garlic.
'From what I heard, this used to be an health potion ingredients but later, it was stopped after the First Hero's incident.'
'By the way, what is this bad omen I am feeling?'
This past 10 days were very peaceful. We repeated low-level quests and accumulated 1,000 golds and split it among us.
When we are free of time, Tilda trained us in the said most-proficient way taught to noble. Because of her, I even accumulated 11 agility which made me faster, stronger.
She even taught us about the proficient points, which is about the unofficial skill not on the system…?
From then on, as Tilda suggested, I tried to hit Shouta with the dagger I bought. Unfortunately, when his [Auto Run] was activated, all I could hit was an air.
Because of how peaceful it was I haven't leveled up once. Instead, my [Clairvoyance] leveled up to level 15 and my [Analyze] skill leveled up to level 12.
(changed from 'Examine' to 'Analyze' because it sounds cooler)
<Analyze>
I analyzed Shirlic Herbs to accumulate exp as always.
[Shirlic Herbs]
Rarity: Common.
Although it wasn't an amazing improvement, at least I can see its rarity and its name now. If it was before, [Plant] would be the only thing.
Seeing Shouta return with additional 10 more Shirlic Herbs, I tried to order him to cast his new Automation skill but stopped.
"Guys, stay on guard, I feel something's going to go wrong for some reason." I activated my [Clairvoyance] as the falling leaves in the forest became increasingly slower.
Slowly walking out of the forest was a bulky man with a badass sword and next to him was a woman that was so familiar to me. I've seen that thousand times yet never got tired of it.
The only difference was the one from far away was so skinny that one would doubt if she was even eating the minimum amount a human should eat.
Unbeknownst to where the strength was coming from, she walks with her skinny legs of her while the knight supports her.
As the two get closer, my view became even clearer. For the 2nd time, my pupils became smaller as I widen my eyes in surprise.
'God, is this your prank? I mean, it's not funny. What's next? Tell me that she is a princess and because of that, she's a flower you can't touch?' I complained.
"Rein-san, I do see a human figure but, do they look dangerous? Should we run?" beside me, Tilda asked what I saw.
"They... Don't look that dangerous." I answered Tilda.
One was an exhausted knight. The other was a woman which was barely holding and she seemed to fall at any time due to malnutrition.
"There seems to be a woman there. Rein-san, are we going to them?" Shouta asked me.
'This fucking kid...' I held back my fist to pat this cheeky brat. "Sure. Let's ask them what they're on."

"Hello! Are you a traveler? What are you doing around here?" I began a conversation after calming myself
"N-... Yes, we are traveling. By any chance, are you an adventurer from Beginner Village?" the bulky man asked me.
Despite his build, this guy was actually carrying daggers. I thought he was a knight, wielding a huge sword.
"Yes, we are from here. We were on our way back to the Beginner Village. Do you wantus to guide you to the village?" I kindly said to the man. In my opinion, my script was perfect.
"... Then let us take advantage of your kindness, thank you." the knight bowed to me.
"I'm Rein, this one is Shouta, the other girl on that side is Tilda, what's your name?" I asked but my true target was the skinny girl by his side.
"I'm Reinhart and this girl here is Ceria" Reinhart introduced me to him and the girl.
Hmm, Ceria, so the name isn't the same.
This time, we went back to Beginner Village without Shouta's newly learned Automation Skill.

"Is she not eating food?" during our dinner, I said to Reinhart. Beside him, was Ceria who refused to lift the spoon. If she wasn't drinking the soup, she even refused to eat the main dish.
"Ahh, Ceria-sama's been traumatized... This past day I've been trying to find a way to make her eat food but both her mouth refused food... These few days, she has been only drinking water."
Hmm is that so... "Aight, you guys wait here."
I said to them before heading out at a full speed. Then, I dashed around the village with all my speed, visiting various shops and buying everything I needed with my money.

"Innkeeper, can you let me use your kitchen?"
"What? Do you even know how to cook?" The innkeeper asked me.
"Nope."
"Alright, it would be 7 Golds." Innkeeper said to me to stop me.
But I accurately 7 golds to Innkeeper's hands.
"What the fuck, you're usually greedy with your money. Damn it, I should have asked for more gold." The innkeeper regretted his word.
I entered the kitchen and began creating one menu from the very beginning.
The cheese was done.
Using the ingredient I bought, I crushed the beef and the pork to a 7:3 ratio and made two hamburgers.
I gently heated the buns which I made by slicing the bread.
While the bun was heating, I began cutting the onions.
Feeling the considerable amount of heat inside the buns, I took it and then started cooking the hamburgers and the cut onion.
The timing of when to flip the hamburgers was shimmered inside my body and fortunately, this kitchen had the utensils to enable me to do so.
After flipping the hamburgers once, I then put the cheese above the hamburgers. Because of the considerate fire, the cheese keeps a perfect balance barely melting but not over melting.
I then started building the Double Cheeseburgers, from below; Buns, Hamburgers, Cheese, Hamburgers, Cheese, ketchup, onion, pickles x2.
The double cheeseburgers released a salivating aroma as I laid the burgers to the plate.
'Say... if you were to meet your idol, your crush, who doesn't even exist in the real world, who doesn't even know you...'
'Will you keep your distance from her saying that she belongs to everyone?'
'Or would you do whatever it takes to get on her good side as any Chinese novel mob character would do?'
'The answer is obvious. I will never let go of this chance. Even if she isn't the 'she' I know, even if the only similarities are their face and body! I do hope that she has a good personality...'
'A-anyway! It's about time I live the youth which I once lost!'
"After she eats my hamburger, her favorability gauge on me should skyrocket! Then I take the advantage of the situation and then get into an intimate relationship with her!"
"I am going to defile this idol of mine for myself! A-all you fans in my previous world should just shut up." I desperately calmed myself with impure intention, then talked with no one.
'...I hope she would like it...'
