Chapter 317: The Innocent and Simple Little Chef
With Kanor leading the way, they continued forward and soon arrived at the kitchen.
In front of the kitchen, a Golem Puppet was moving a large basket of vegetables, swiftly making its way outside.
Upon seeing this, Kanor also greeted the Golem Puppet.
"Good afternoon, Lady Kululu, what are you doing?"
The Golem Puppet heard Kanor’s voice and stopped in its tracks.
It stood still and quickly raised a sign.
"Today, I have been asked by City Hall to help move some ingredients and things."
Before, while forming the magical beast bus team, training, and improving the captured monsters, the people from City Hall had also communicated with Kululu and Dorothy for some time and got Kululu’s contact information.
Soon, during this time together, the people from City Hall discovered that this other demon race, who never showed themselves, was unexpectedly easy to talk to.
If you speak respectfully and have the right attitude, and give a compliment or two, Kululu will be very happy to help you.
Contacting Kululu is actually very simple: just find any Golem Puppet wandering around the town, speak to it, and Kululu will hear you.
If there is really no Golem Puppet, you can go to the doghouse to find the large gray and white dog "Dadaka" to help deliver the message.
However, "Dadaka" charges for delivering messages, needing about half a pound of meat or ten apples each time.
But in any case, contacting Kululu is not a difficult task.
Seeing Kululu’s reply, Kanor nodded.
"Oh, I see! Then you can go ahead, Lady Kululu!"
Then, she said goodbye to the Golem Puppet.
After the brief moment, Kanor continued to guide the two into the kitchen and brought over two chairs to place in a corner.
"You two can rest here for a bit; I will prepare your meal soon."
As Kanor said this, she quickly lifted the dead goose and walked to the other side of the kitchen.
After seeing the busy little girl, Janine Irene exchanged a glance with the Holy Maiden and began to speak softly.
"Irene, did you see… those ‘interrogation rooms’ earlier?"
The Lady of Light spoke quietly in a low voice.
"I saw… Her Holiness, that succubus here is even more ambitious than we thought," Janine Irene replied seriously. "Indeed, a succubus never plays a simple role!"
"And we are probably on her list too," the Lady of Light said, not really scared, but laughing instead. "Thinking about it, it really feels a bit like ‘walking into a trap.’"
"I will protect you well, Her Holiness!"
Janine Irene said again immediately.
After finishing her words, Janine Irene paused for a moment and shared something she was a bit concerned about with the Holy Maiden.
"There is one more thing… Her Holiness, did you hear the name ‘Kululu’ that the little girl just used to greet the Golem Puppet?"
"I heard it… What’s the problem?"
The Lady of Light asked with curiosity.
Janine Irene hesitated for a moment but finally spoke up.
"This is the name of the ‘Shepherdess’ I met earlier on the New West Line, who has a very high affinity for the power of the Holy Light, but I couldn’t find her later on…"
"It might be a coincidence, but I think the name ‘Kululu’ is too strange to be just a coincidence."
Because ‘Kululu’ has such a low presence in the Demon Army, the two did not learn from the information that there was such a person in the Demon Army.
When the Lady of Light heard Janine Irene’s words, she finally remembered.
"I see…"
After a brief moment of thought, Her Holiness smiled gently again.
"The affinity for the Holy Light power appeared after you came to the New West Line, now it’s showing up in Hillenbrand Town, and this town once had a burst of Supreme Divine Spell energy…"
The Lady of Light spoke so clearly, looking at Janine Irene.
"Irene… What do you think she might be like?"
"Do you mean to say she is not a ‘gifted’ commoner at all… but someone who has long learned the God of Light techniques… that ‘senior’?"
Janine Irene was not foolish, and under the reminder of the Lady of Light, she showed a look of surprise.
Then, she became very regretful.
"I can’t believe I was tricked… If only I had realized it sooner…"
"Don’t be too hard on yourself, Irene. You are facing a ‘big shot’ in the history of The Church of Light, someone who has lived for hundreds of years and has turned to the Abyssal Demon," the Lady of Light comforted Janine Irene. "Given the tricky situation, you did very well."
Janine Irene listened to the Lady of Light’s comfort and nodded, her expression easing a little.
"I understand, Lady Holy Maiden… I will be more careful in the future!"
While the two of them whispered to each other, on the other side of the kitchen, Kanor, who was humming the song of Hillenbrand Town while making "fruit mille-feuille," seemed to not hear anything at all.
She took two purple fruits from a bag on the shelf, tossed them into the magical blender, and mixed them with other fruits to make a thick jam.
In the western new area of Hillenbrand Town, in front of various food carts and game booths at City Hall Square, Duke Heidegger, dressed as a Shield Warrior, unexpectedly saw a familiar figure.
Froer, seeing Duke Heidegger’s stunned expression, asked.
"What’s wrong, sir… Did you see your daughter?"
After realizing, Heidegger shook his head and said.
"No… not at all, I just saw an old acquaintance."
Following Heidegger’s gaze, Froer saw an old gentleman dressed in old Seychelles noble clothing, standing straight in front of a booth marked "Seychelles Vegetable Stew," waiting for his share.
"What a strong presence… Hmm, speaking of which… Could he be that one?"
Froer showed a curious expression.
"’Gandhi Alter,’ one of the trump cards of the Seychelles restoration faction… I have dealt with him quite a bit," Heidegger shrugged. "Very capable, but just a bit out of time."
While the two of them were discussing Gandhi Alter, the old man’s vegetable stew was ready.
After taking the paper bowl filled with batter and vegetables, Gandhi Alter suddenly turned his head to look at Heidegger and Froer.
Then, the old man was a bit surprised.
Next, he walked towards the direction where the two were standing!
