Chapter.7 Cheese
However, the person who came in this time was someone I knew again.
“Mr Miltain?”
“yes… .”
“What are mercenaries doing here?”
“ha ha ha! that is… .”
Miltain scratched the back of his head as if something was odd. A lot of people I know appear, but this time it was a little different. It doesn’t matter to Mr. Knoll and Elena, but Miltain was standing in line for an interview.
“Actually, I’m thinking about quitting my mercenary job.”
“yes?”
Are you quitting your mercenary job? Are you quitting a decent job?
“Why do you quit a decent job?”
“That… . I want to work with you! I saw it in the recruitment notice! Making new food ingredients is a rewarding job! My senior is very unmotivated these days. “I heard that the mercenary group is working as a receptionist and is very frustrated because it is all about sitting still!”
As soon as I said that, Mr. Knoll, who was next to me, suddenly stood up. He frowns and opens his mouth.
“ah! So, you’ve been looking so bad lately? This bastard? “You mean you did it without consulting me?”
He seemed to think he couldn’t do it and tried to leave the interview room, so I hurriedly grabbed Mr. Knoll.
“Mr. Knoll. Don’t be hasty. First, you have to listen to Miltein’s story and make your own decision. It’s not too late to visit after that. Isn’t that right? Calm down. Calm.”
“Is that so… .”
Fortunately, I understand.
Mr. Knoll sat down again and looked at Miltein intensely.
“So, I think you will also regain your energy if you take on a new challenge! So working at a ranch isn’t a bad idea after retirement, right? Even though you are limping, you are still strong. He just retired even though his colleagues tried to dissuade him because he didn’t want to give away the prejudice that there were cripples in the mercenary group! I have decided to follow such a senior for the rest of my life, so I want to work here with him! It’s true!”
First I looked at the lie reader. When I turned my head, I made eye contact with Elena.
“Is everything he said true?”
When I asked in her ear, Elena shook her head with an ambiguous expression. And then he brings his mouth to my ear again.
“What I just said is true. “It looks like he’s hiding something.”
“Are you hiding it?”
Elena nodded quietly. So, is it true that Mr. Ment is having trouble adapting to his new job after injuring his leg?
If he had a personality like Mr. Ment, I would feel safe in entrusting him with anything. As a bonus, this young man. Well, he seems to have good strength and this young man also has a good mind. If you see him asking for food for his senior.
“Didn’t that person have lust?”
“yes. As far as lust… .”
After exchanging whispers with Elena, I looked at Miltein.
“Can you tell me everything without hiding anything? I’m guessing there’s another reason you haven’t made clear? “You know that elves can see through lies, right?”
“yes? ah! that is!”
Miltain opened his mouth in surprise.
“So… .”
As expected, there seems to be something left unsaid. It is up to you to listen to the hidden reasons and then decide. At least this young man.
“That’s it. The pay is high! “Better than mercenary work!”
Fay. Just for that matter?
“It’s a small scale now, but if things get difficult in the future, it won’t be that high, right?”
“it’s okay! Mercenary work is very unpopular with women! I can’t say it’s not my fault that your senior got hurt, so I’m showing signs of caution! I’m dating a woman these days, and she said she would consider getting married if she would stop working as a mercenary, which puts her life at risk! Hehehehe I want to work here! Oh, your story is also true! I wish we could work together on a large ranch. “I want to see you smile!”
As soon as Miltain finished speaking, I asked Elena.
“how is it?”
Elena nodded without any hesitation.
“Really.”
In the end, money, marriage, and seniority are the reasons? Money and marriage are very important parts of life.
“that… If it were just an ordinary ranch, I wouldn’t have thought of this, but El has a mysterious charm… . I think this ranch will be something special and something great! “I also know that Mr. Knoll and I are doing the PalenQ business together!”
It seemed like he had heard many things and even made some calculations. If so, there is no problem. Mr. Ment and Miltain. Since he was a mercenary, some strength is good. They are very suitable when it comes to handling animals.
“Then I guess I should meet Mr. Ment. I plan to expand this ranch little by little. It won’t be boring because you will be faced with many different challenges. “My life is not at stake.”
“That’s the good thing!”
Miltain shouted with a very sad expression.
If so, there is no problem. After putting Miltain on standby, the interview resumed.
Among the other characters, there was no one who passed Elena’s strict screening, but there was only one seat left.
In other words, an experienced person was needed. Even if you passed the screening, you needed to be an experienced person, but no one met all the requirements.
In that case, it means that an experienced person must be sought separately.
I asked Mr. Laine to look for experienced people, so now I have no choice but to rely on that.
After saying goodbye to Elena, who said she had to go to the clinic, I went to see Ment, accompanied by Knoll and Miltein.
Mr. Ment, who was sitting blankly in a corner of the mercenary group, was rather pleased with my suggestion.
Mr. Ment explained that it was not easy to find another job due to his limp, but he was tired of just sitting around and was bored with his life.
The story progressed quickly, especially since Mr. Ment had already tasted pizza.
For this reason, the two people who used their power were confirmed to be Miltain and Mr. Ment. After things like this, I wonder if there was a need for an interview, but I couldn’t help it because I didn’t know about Mr. Ment’s situation.
Next, I went to see Mr. Laine. Hoping to hear some news about someone with ranch work experience.
“Hello, Laine.”
“LC! and… No, who is this? “Are you not my husband?”
Ms. Laine nodded to me and pulled her husband away with a cruel smile.
“Where on earth did you go and have fun while you were on duty! “I really can’t survive!”
“He helped me with my interview.”
“Yes, that’s right! He said he came to work. “If there’s anything you need to do to help El, you always step forward to help!”
“Oh, did you do that? What’s going on? “Did Lee help you?”
Mr. Knoll started winking wildly behind me. Yeah whatever. It probably helped. maybe.
“yes. what. haha. Rather, it’s someone with ranch work experience… .”
“Ah yes! You know what? In fact, there is one person who quit Uka Ranch in Great Mountain. I went there often because the ranch and my store were contracting companies, and there was someone who was managing the ranch as a whole. She’s a little older than me, and I heard she’s been doing this since she was young, but she suddenly disappeared from the ranch. So I asked the ranch and they said they found a replacement and quit… .”
“is it so?”
At that level, he is completely experienced. This is the talent I am looking for. Uka is a cow, so if you worked on a cow ranch, you would be able to handle water buffalo in a somewhat similar way. The question may be why he quit, but it seemed necessary to persuade him.
“Can you give me some guidance? “I’ll go to the restaurant for a while and then come back.”
“of course. It’s thanks to someone that we make a living! Ho Ho.”
Mr. Raine nodded and glared at Mr. Knoll.
“Don’t go anywhere, just look at the store. “See you when it’s gone!”
“okay. okay. “Don’t worry and go!”
Mr. Knoll nodded with a prickly expression. I stopped at a restaurant first, made pizza, and then walked back to the outskirts of the city with Mr. Layne. And then I visited the experienced person.
When Mr. Layne knocked on the door, a good-looking woman who looked to be in her late forties appeared. He had a figure that could easily hug an average adult man.
“excuse me.”
“Oh my, Laine, what’s going on?”
The lady recognized Mr. Layne and made a happy face. However, his expression did not look good.
“I heard you’re taking a break these days?”
Mr. Layne came forward and started speaking.
“yes… .”
A woman who slurs her words.
“This person’s name is Serol. L.”
“okay. hello.”
“Who is this person?”
A lady who looks confused. Then Mr. Laine opened his mouth to introduce me. But Mr. Serrel interrupts first.
“Would you like to come in first?”
Mr. Serrel gestured to me and Mr. Reine. We were shown to a small table. As I sit down in the chair, Mr. Serrel serves tea.
“So what’s going on, Laine?”
When the seat was ready, Mr. Serrel spoke again.
“That’s right, Elle here built a new ranch and said she needs someone with experience.”
Mr. Laine began to speak slowly. Hearing that, Mr. Serrel’s eyes turn to me.
As soon as the story was over, I offered the pizza to Mr. Serrel. Because seeing is worth seeing, you first need to show what you are trying to create.
“Would you like to see this?”
“what is this? “Does it smell good?”
This is a basic pizza with the freshness of tomatoes. It consists only of tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese.
“eat it.”
Mr. Serrel looks at Mr. Reine. Mr. Layne nodded. Then Mr. Serrel carefully brought the pizza to his mouth and took a bite. When he saw the cheese stretching, his eyes widened in amazement.
“What kind of food is this? “This is my first time seeing it and it’s really delicious.”
“Yes?”
“This savory and chewy feeling goes really well with the bread and it has a great flavor. This feels a bit like it was made with Uka milk… .”
He tilted his head like an expert and guessed the identity similarly. I was convinced after seeing this. This is a talent that must be captured.
“That white thing is called cheese. It is made from Berrynerique’s milk, and I am currently growing it at my ranch.”
“What if it’s Berrynerique?”
“It’s similar to Uka, but it has horns.”
“Oh, is that so? I’ve never seen it… .”
“It grows in the southeastern region, but we had a hard time introducing it this time. So, would you mind helping me with my work based on your extensive ranching experience? I will pay you enough. “Much more abundantly than what you were doing before.”
Once mozzarella is commercialized, payment will not be an issue.
Mr. Serrel looked at me intently at my suggestion. But then he shakes his head. It was a clear rejection.
“The offer is very much appreciated. If the situation were not like this, I would definitely do it, but the reality is that I am not in a situation where I would go out to work. Laine. And L.”
