How should I survive in a different world as a reincarnated villain?

I quickly chatted with them, and when I heard that I had just become an adventurer, Irene offered to tell me the precautions for newcomers.

I have to say that this really helped a lot. I was worried that I didn't know how to be an adventurer, so I seriously remembered what she said. It's a pity that I don't have a pen and paper at hand, otherwise I can write it down.

Just as we were halfway through the conversation, Fenrir, who had gone hunting, came back with the carcass of a doe in his mouth.

Fenrir's appearance resembling a giant wolf immediately attracted the attention of the four of them. Obviously, they regarded it as a monster, and they took up weapons and prepared to fight.

Being protected by them, I hurried out to block them and Fenrir.

"Please don't do it, it is not an enemy!"

I vaguely heard Fenrir's cold snort.

Please bear with me, they didn't mean to, I said in my heart.

Irene didn't seem to hear what I said clearly, and was still calling me anxiously to go back, but Jacob in the back row put down his weapon first.

He pushed his glasses and looked at me meaningfully.

"Is this the companion you were talking about?"

Under the disbelieving eyes of others, I nodded.

"Yes, it is my slave."

"Ehhh-?!"

After a period of turmoil, the few people who knew that Fenrir would not hurt them were finally willing to sit down and have a good talk with me.

"Scared me, so Ai Er, are you a beast tamer?"

Irene was the most courageous, as soon as I sat down, I leaned next to me, and from time to time looked at Fenrir, who was lying on the boulder with closed eyes and taking a nap.

"That's why I'm a magician." I said helplessly, "It's just that someone I know is a beast tamer, and it's because of Phil's help that the contract was successful."

Irene glanced at Fenrir again, smirked and pushed my arm with her elbow, "You must have a good relationship with your friend, and you are willing to give up such a powerful magic wolf to you."

My heart skipped a beat, could it be that Fenrir's true identity was discovered?

"Phil really helped me a lot," I said lightly.

"However, with such a beast, there is really no need to hire other people to protect you."

Irene put down her hands and said with emotion: "Such a terrifying breath can completely drive away low-level monsters. As long as it stands there, no enemy will dare to approach it, right?"

"But! Yes! Even if this is the case, you can't stay here alone! It's gone, won't those monsters come to you?"

When she said the latter sentence, Irene increased her voice, as if she purposely said it to Fenrir.

I hid the doubts in my heart very well, even if there were many questions I wanted to ask, I still kept a proper smile.

"I'm a magician anyway, so don't look down on me like that?"

It should...haven't been exposed yet, right?

With such a fluke in mind, I looked at Fenrir.

"And Phil hasn't been away for a long time. Look at it, hasn't it just come back?"

Irene stared at me for a while, then suddenly said: "Sure enough, Elle, you speak really strangely."

"Eh?" I froze for a moment, "W-why do you say that?"

"Because, you are the one who made it go hunting, right? You say that as if it took the initiative to go, and it was the same before."

what...

Hearing her say that made me realize how big a mistake I had made.

Hunting is indeed a suggestion made by Fenrir, but others don't know, after all, slave beasts will not leave without the master's order.

Wait, is that why Fenrir is always lying on the rock?

It seems that I still have a lot to learn...

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look at the other three.

Alec and Jacob went to deal with the prey brought back by Fenrir. Alec was in charge of handling the meat, and Jacob took out the kitchen utensils from the storage bag, set them up and started to boil water. It was the branches and wooden chopsticks that Fenrir brought back.

They are far away from here, and I don't know if they heard our conversation. Anyway, Daphne, who heard it, didn't want to pay attention to us. She just sat there quietly and read a very thick book, occasionally Will look towards the river.

"Well, I also understand what you mean." Irene said annoyedly, "I also thought that if I have my own beast one day, I must treat it as my family, but it's a pity that it's too difficult to find a beast trainer." Now, the prices of each one have skyrocketed, even if I can bring my own magic beast, my small coffers can't afford the contract fee!"

Perhaps thinking of the frighteningly high price, Irene was so worried that she grabbed her hair and let out pitiful sobs.

"I don't know when I will be able to have my own beast, El, I really envy you!"

As if thinking of something, Irene stopped suddenly, and after two seconds of stillness, she turned around and grabbed my hand.

"El! You just said that you have a friend who is an animal trainer, right!"

Of course it's fake.

I saw her plan and quickly searched for a solution in my head.

"It's true that someone helped me make a contract with Phil, but he's not a friend."

Under Irene's puzzled eyes, I smiled and explained.

"I helped him once before, and he only helped me in order to repay the favor."

"That's it."

Irene sighed regretfully, "I still want you to help me put up a thread, but I really don't have this life..."

I patted her on the back comfortingly, "There will be a chance."

There are also two men who are in charge of cooking. I was a little worried at first. After all, no matter who they are, they don’t seem to be able to cook. There is a fragrance coming out of the pot.

Borrowing a set of cutlery from them, I sipped the hot soup just out of the oven, and my body, which started to get cold after nightfall, warmed up all of a sudden.

Jacob's craftsmanship is very good. He cooked this soup. Visually, it is not as exquisite as my cook's, but he carries a very rich variety of seasonings. Although it is stewed in a big pot, it has a special taste. Of course It is not ruled out that it is the illusion caused by my hunger for too long.

In addition, the remaining pieces of meat were made into barbecue by Alec, and a thick layer of seasoning was smeared on the surface. It was a bit heavy for my taste, but Fenrir tasted quite delicious. He has been squatting next to Alec and staring at the not fully cooked venison in his hand.

In the end, three quarters of the meat went into Fenrir's stomach. Fortunately, a lot of soup was cooked, and there was still some bread left in Jacob's place. Otherwise, it would be fine for us girls, and the two big men would definitely I can't get enough.

"I'm really sorry..."

"Haha, I should be the one to say I'm sorry." Alec touched his hair and smiled heartily, "It's obviously your prey, but we ate so much without authorization. I'm really sorry."

"But you all prepared the dinner, but I didn't do anything to help, instead I kept chatting beside..."

"It's just that you don't have to worry about it, Jacob and I are used to it."

"Eh?"

Alec secretly glanced at Irene, who was eager to touch Fenrir's hand, and after making sure she hadn't noticed, he leaned over and whispered to me.

"You don't know, no matter what ingredients are in Irene's hands, they will turn into dark dishes in the end. For the sake of my own safety, I dare not let her cook at all."

"As for Daphne, she and Jacob are willing to fight and suffer. Since Jacob is willing to complete the work for her, I can't say anything."

I blinked and thought over Alec's words several times in my mind.

"That... May I ask what is Miss Daphne's occupation? She hasn't spoken all the time, and I don't dare to ask."

Alec waved his hand, "Ann, she has that temper. I haven't seen her talk to anyone except Jacob."

"As for her profession, she's a magician just like you, El."

If this is the case, it makes sense for Daphne to keep holding the book and read it. She should be reading a book related to magic.

But I don't know why, I just have a very strange feeling, not only Daphne, Jacob also gave me the same feeling, but Alec seemed to trust them very much, so I didn't think about it.

Anyway, they will be separated soon, even if they really have problems, it has nothing to do with me.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and the moon that could illuminate the earth was blocked by clouds, and it was almost impossible to see anything except the area illuminated by the fire.

I covered my mouth and yawned, and couldn't keep my eyes open, but the others were still chatting about tomorrow's itinerary, and I had already decided to go with them, and it was hard for me to leave first.

Just then, I heard Jacob's voice.

"It's getting late, go to bed early, and get up early tomorrow morning."

I subconsciously looked at him, and saw Daphne falling asleep leaning on his shoulder at some point.

So close, it should be a couple.

They should have decided on the order of the vigil long ago. Originally, I wanted to contribute, but Alec refused. The reason was that they had eaten so much meat before, and it would be too wrong for me to do things again.

I'm a little depressed, and it's not something expensive, or is there something I don't know?

Anyway, I slept comfortably on Fenrir's body.

In the few days since I left the imperial capital, I haven’t had a good night’s sleep. Lying on the hard wooden bed, I couldn’t fall asleep at all. I couldn't escape it. At this time, I especially miss the big bed at home and the incense specially used to help sleep.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but I seemed to smell a very familiar fragrance in a trance, and before I could think about it, I fell asleep again, and it was morning when I woke up again.

Jacob was a little surprised to see me awake.

"It's so early, don't you want to sleep a little longer?"

"It's not very early, is it?" I looked at the already bright sky and asked a little strangely.

If it was in the past, at this time, I would have been called up by the head maid to wash up and put on my makeup. After breakfast, the whole morning would be full of various classes, and I would not be able to take a break until noon.

Whether I am resting or busy in the afternoon depends on the situation. If I receive an invitation to the tea party, I will repeat the steps of washing and making up, and then put on a beautiful dress to go to the banquet.

As for the evening, I have to fulfill the obligations of the head of the family, piles of documents are waiting for me, just signing can sign off.

Even if I went to the college, I couldn't escape this fate. After all, the documents will not disappear by themselves. Even if I excuse that I am busy with my studies and can't spare time to review the documents, I still have to read them during the weekend break, otherwise the impact will be the whole family.

Jacob didn't know how to answer this question, so he could only shut his mouth, and the atmosphere became more awkward for a while.
