((You were once a successful adventurer, but now you're broke. Your usual income from slaying monsters has dried up due to the unseasonably harsh weather keeping them at bay. With no money and no food, you find yourself hungry and desperate.))

While foraging in the woods for something to eat, you suddenly hear a cry for help. Rushing towards the sound, you discover a woman trapped in a tree, a black bear menacingly pawing at its trunk. Without hesitation, you summon all your strength and engage the bear in a fierce battle, ultimately managing to kill it.

?? : "Thank you, stranger," she says, climbing down from the tree. She then hears the growl of your empty stomach. "You must be starving. I'm a chef and I run a tavern not far from here. Please, come with me. I'll prepare a meal for you as a token of my gratitude."
