Start in Another World With All Cooking Skills

The door of Adele's room was not closed, and there seemed to be a lot of chaotic noises outside.

"Father?"

After all, Itami was a big boy, so he quickly noticed his father's abnormality today.

Earl Renault just maintained a calm look, shaking his head slightly at his son, signaling him not to speak.

At this time, Adele also began to realize that something was wrong, but she still responded to her father obediently:

"What game is Dad going to play?"

"Hide and seek, okay? Close your eyes first, and don't peek." Earl Renault's tone seemed a little anxious.

Adele complied.

Afterwards, Earl Renault quickly left the room with his daughter in his arms.

On the way out of the room, little Adele kept her eyes closed, so she didn't see anything.

Perhaps during this period of time, there was nothing in the dream.

But she could hear voices, voices that became clearer and clearer.

There were hurried footsteps and faint sobs.

In a farther place, perhaps on the outskirts of their own fortress, there were shouts and the sound of crossbow arrows firing.

It was also mixed with strange and terrible sounds, which seemed to be the crowing of crows.

Today's house seems to be extraordinarily noisy.

Little Adele felt a little scared.

She hugged the delicate doll named [Lupas] tightly.

Soon, Earl Renault brought his son and daughter to the kitchen of the fortress.

Eight or nine people have gathered here, and several of them are Earl Renault's personal guards.

There is also the most reliable knight of the Renault family, the maid who always takes care of the young master and the lady, the chubby butler who always smiles...

Count Renault put down his daughter: "You can open your eyes, my little pearl."

Adele did it anyway.

She first looked around and found that the faces of the people around her were a little strange, full of anxiety and fear.

And her older brother Itami also had a look of obvious fear on his face.

When he walked all the way from Adele's room on the second floor to the kitchen, he obviously saw something.

"Then, my little pearl." Count Renault rubbed Adele's head restrainedly, "The game is about to begin. From now on, you must hide with Itan and Drizzt, and don't be found by Dad , don’t be found by anything, okay?”

Adele held [Lupas] in her arms, staring blankly at her father, obviously not understanding what happened now.

However, those horrific crows that I heard just now seemed to be a little louder again.

"Whoa - whoa -"

It seemed that the crows were getting closer to the kitchen.

Immediately afterwards, Earl Renault began to explain to his son again, and handed a long sword that looked extremely simple to his son Itan.

This seemingly ordinary sword is familiar to both Itami and Adele——

【Pale justice】.

In the Renault family, there is a saying that has been passed down from generation to generation: "Justice is pale and humble, but it is by no means powerless."

Along with this proverb, there is also this [pale justice].

The appearance is ordinary, but the inner quality is sharp and hard to handle. It can be called a unparalleled magic weapon in the world, and it has always been the glory and symbol of the Renault family.

"Father, why did you take this sword...?"

Itami has always wanted to touch [Pale Justice] before, but he was never allowed to.

But when his father really handed this legendary weapon to him today, he didn't dare to pick it up again.

"Hold it well." Earl Renault just said that, handing [Pale Justice] forcefully into his son's hands.

"Whoa - whoa -"

Outside, those fierce crows crowed louder and louder.

It seems to be pressing every step of the way, and the sound is urging.

Like, death is knocking at the door.

"Drizzt, take them away." Count Renault ordered the knights in the family.

The tall and steady knight Drizzt just nodded.

In the kitchen of Renault's fortress, there is an underground passage all the way to the outside.

Earl Renault opened the entrance to this passage, and motioned for everyone else in the kitchen to go in.

On the other hand, he and his two personal guards stayed outside the entrance.

"Father, what were those just now?"

Before entering the entrance of the underground passage, Itami turned to look at his father with "Pale Justice" in his hand.

"I don't know, Itami." Earl Renault shook his head, "Protect your sister."

"Father, what about you? And uncle, and mother...?"

"Protect your sister." Earl Renault just repeated this sentence.

Subsequently, the entrance to the underground passage was closed.

Adele, who had already entered the passage, just felt that the crow outside the kitchen seemed to be a little louder.

But after the entrance was closed, the outside voices were no longer heard clearly.

...

The underground passage of Renault's house.

Now is the season of abundant rain.

The air in the underground passage was damp and smelled of decay.

On the ground of the yellow mud, there is dirty water.

There are also toads or frogs hiding in unknown corners, croaking.

The sound of frogs echoed in the passage, even covering the footsteps of Adele and his party.

Little Adele dragged her favorite [Lupus] with one hand, and her brother with the other.

She could feel tiny beads of sweat on her brother's palm.

Her fluffy skirt, pure white pantyhose, and doll [Lupas] were all stained with mud and stains as they walked through the passage.

The time spent in this underground passage seemed extremely long.

It seems that no matter what, there is no end to it.

The people around were also silent, and Adele couldn't see their faces clearly.

She just felt scared.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, a crow screamed fiercely from behind Adele and his party in the passage.

"Whoa - whoa -"

One after another.

Adele doesn't understand what's going on.

But it seems that every time the crow crows, there will be one less person beside her.

First is the reliable knight Drizzt.

Then there is the chubby, always smiling Mr. Butler.

Then there is the maid who takes care of her daily life and tells her stories at night.

Adele remembered that the maid seemed to disappear crying.

Where have all these people gone?

Little Adele could not remember.

It seems to be carried away by crows.

It also seems that, in order to buy time for their brothers and sisters to escape... stay in that long, damp, endless passage forever.

Adele really doesn't remember.

After another crow crowed "Wah-wah", Adele loosened her right hand.

The older brother Ivan who was holding her hand was gone, and only the sweat on his palm remained.

No one is there anymore, no one is there anymore.

Little Adele hugged the already dirty [Lupas], and stood alone in the long and damp passageway, falling into deep helplessness and panic.

"Whoa - whoa -"

And behind her, the shrill crowing sounded again.

It seemed that it was her turn.
