66 Visit Oz.

The time for my promise to Professor Oz is fast.

Even if it's early, it's not much different from the day Ain goes to school. This morning, there was something to be done first.

"How'd it go?

Ein asks Chris, who has been checking inside the room.

"Still neat. You slept in exactly the same position as yesterday..."

The place to go first was the place for Burra and May's sisters. In the morning, maybe you're awake? That's what I thought, but nothing like that, and it still seemed like I was neatly in my dream world.

By the way, according to Chris, apparently the letter I prepared last night hasn't even been opened yet, and he didn't wake up.

Put aside another mailbox that was newly prepared, and Chris left behind the room where his sisters rest.

"I've arranged a letter for you, and I'll rendezvous with Katima."

"Right. Shall we go?"

Katima and Dill are out of the inn first. Katima said that she wanted to get some air from the old lady, and she was on her way outside early.

And Ain and Chris both head out down the stairs.

Sometimes it is still an early hour, and the inn is surrounded by silence. The walls are thick, and people's speech never sounds.

"Ah... Dear Ein. Please wait."

"Yeah?"

Down some stairs, Chris called out. He stops at the part where it just became a dance floor and Ain turns to Chris.

"... you see, it's cold out there. Wrap it around your neck."

Wrap the muffler in your hand around Ein's neck. The muffler is also made of a magical material… it is made of a luxurious, touchy and soft material, and its comfort is exceptional.

The region of the magical city of Isto has a chilly climate compared to the Wang capital, and even many warm gear is available within the journey schedule. If you catch a cold over that, you're going to waste your time.

"Oh, uh... thanks"

Suddenly I get nervous when I can get my face close. No, but I'm nervous even if it's not sudden... I'm self-completing, but when Chris wrapped the muffler around me, my body stiffened for a moment because I was close enough to hold him.

After that, I quickly proceeded down the stairs in an attempt to hide the lights.

"hehe...... no"

Chris feels somewhere close these days. It's not that I never want to, but it's quite embarrassing to be seen illuminating. Even now she seemed to understand Ain's blinding, fingering her mouth and laughing.

"(Dear Mother, It's really hard to be a woman......)"

"Are you awake?

"I was asleep. I've got another letter for you, so I think I'll read it when I wake up."

"All right, nya. Well, let's just say we go."

Nyanya Nyanya and Katima go on singing a mysterious nose song. Her mypace didn't start now. Ain and the others followed her by imitating it.

"Hey, Mr. Katima."

"Hmm?

"Have you heard anything from the castle?

"There it is. The Royal Train will be here in a few days, so me and Dill will take it home."

The trip was a regular water train...... I used noble vehicles but not royal trains. I don't see why, abruptly, the royal train has come.

"Why bother with that?

"It's convenient. It also means half escort. Just the right thing to do to get those two."

"Again, very cautious, I suppose."

"Oh, I heard from your father. They're going to reward Ain later."

I don't understand the flow of conversation. Even though Professor Oz says he's on his way to Ist Grand Magic, where he's been rewarded for his royal train, what's happened in the past day...

"Why are we talking about rewards..."

"It would be best if we proved it... this time because the situation is irregular, that will depend on our arrival in King's Capital. Demonstration is about Lord Barra's therapeutic magic. I mean, I'm from a slum, which means I may still be an immature arm, but that's going to happen. But still, if that's what she's worth, it's a superimposition of money, and so on."

Dill answers Ein's questions. Compared to Katima's rough gnarly description, the content is very easy to understand, informative and helpful. Ein who wants to deliver such jito eyes to Katima, but she's just walking in a good mood now.

I guess I can't wait to have a conversation with Professor Oz.

"Thanks Dill. But you know what... Well, there's no use getting a reward, but I guess I'll think about it."

"Leave it on hold, like me, and you'll be free to do it now and then."

"I like that."

Katima is allowed to accompany her in this investigation as a reward for the Demon King investigation. As for Ain I'm witnessing that, I thought I should put it on hold if I think I have a chance to use it someplace sometime.

"... don't use it for too weird things, do you? I have an ex-con."

"That's terrible, Mr. Chris."

Chris is wary of Ein's thoughts, but well, that won't help either.

Talking about that, I finally arrived at the station in Ist. I'm taking this ride today to Professor Oz's waiting place.

"Dill! Hand out what you prepared yesterday!

"Yes, sir."

Katima's right arm swung up abruptly, meatball texture dazzled.... I thought about what I would do, I ordered Dill to hand over the two cards to Ain and Chris.

"What's this?

"Er... what is this, Master Katima"

The card handed to me is glowing blue and looks like a light metal like stainless steel. The surface depicted the crest of the ist… Mark reaching out to the demonic stone, with 14 days left at the bottom.

"Half a month's free pass. I've bought this as a bargain because I've ridden many times anyway."

"Dear Ein. I bought four pieces yesterday. However, I think our free pass will last a few days."

"Don't worry about it! If there's more than half of it left, it won't be a waste because we can refund it!

They can ride all they want for a certain period of time. You think you can travel all you want by water train in the ist for half a month?

I bought it yesterday for half a month, which means that Ain and Chris both stay a lot for a day, but I can't help it. It's not bad because I guess you still get it.

Given the hassle of buying one ticket at a time, this would make it easier because you're free to get on and off. Anyway, Ist's station doesn't exist like a ticket, so with this free pass, I can really move around freely.

"Come on, go!

After finishing his explanation, Katima begins to gain momentum again.... To be honest, I appreciate this care she did. Money is cheaper and more convenient than anything.

"It just seems embarrassing to thank you honestly. That's all."

"A, Dear Ein..."

The poison Ain threw up reached Dill's ear. Given Ain's relationship with Katima, it's no different than just being twisted together, but it seemed somewhat laborious.

There were several characteristics of water trains running ist. First of all, the sound is quiet and less shaky. Compared to the aristocratic vehicles we have used, I feel no different. If you think this is going to run all over the king's capital one day, it's not a bad story. The sound of the door even opening was a little surprising.

There is another difference, and that is that there is an in-car broadcast. I passed several stations and arrived by Ist Grand Magic, but in the meantime I listened to the in-car broadcast many times. I still find it convenient to have it.

"Hey, Mr. Katima. How soon will water trains like the one we have here become popular?

"The water trains being tested are a transition goal in five years."

"You're right on time for it."

"Well, if you think it took me nearly forty years to develop it, it wasn't right away."

"... I see"

On the way to the laboratory, Katima gave a little explanation. It is said that it is never just the visible part, but that another place has evolved significantly as well.

That was safety or the endurance life of the vehicle...... the so-called life expectancy also showed considerable improvement, he said. Given that, it would never take too long.

"And that's why you should think about the invisible once in a while."

"I honestly don't want to admit it, but I'm gonna learn it"

"... why don't you just admit it?"

Her language is often a study. I guess he's still kind of a good researcher, Ain't that what I reaffirmed.

"Dill, tell the guard I have an appointment with Professor Oz."

"Or I'm in awe... eh"

"Ignore me... my nephew's attitude becomes tyrannical as he gets older"

"I'll give you this because it's still there, Mr. Katima."

What we take out in that way is a snack given to Katima, mistaken for a pet, when she boarded into a noble vehicle in the Ist row. I was sneaking a few more bites left in my pocket.

Ain't no good.

"Yeah. I know."

Prince Wang on one side and the First Princess on the other...... No one would think that important people in such a country are interacting like this. But Chris, whom I saw beside him, will, of course, hold his head as usual.

"Dear Ein. Let's come...... that? What the hell happened to Master Chris, holding his head..."

"That, Mr. Chris, what's wrong? Headache?"

Next to Ain, Katima was eating a Guhagu snack for a heartbreak. I'm about to run out of that snack already, chewing it at an amazing rate.

"Yes, no it's nothing...... let's come"

When will we get used to these two interactions? One day I want to get used to it...... with that desire in her heart, she will continue to escort Ain today.

After that, as I came yesterday, I took a trip to the lab in the back. Sometimes the gatekeeper remembered Ain's face, and today he talks smoothly. One of the gatekeepers led the Eins to his room, where Professor Oz waited.

"Chief Professor. We've brought you in."

Keeper who knocked on the door and then told him so, he gets a reply from inside right away.

"Thank you for your guidance. Let me through."

"Ha! … Now, gentlemen, please go inside"

As soon as I hear that voice, I open the door and let Ain and the others through. The room was warm, and as for myself walking all over town feeling cold, I was surrounded by a comfort that made my body feel at ease.

"Good morning, Your Highness Prince Wang. Dear Katima,"

"Well, good morning, Professor Oz."

Following Ain's greeting, Katima likewise greeted Professor Oz. Professor Oz said please, so we all sit down on the same couch as we sat down the other day.

"We have the materials we were promised. I'm going to explain it to you."

Oz, who had documents with the same contents for four people. He said he would distribute it to everyone and then explain it as he watched. The first one contains a brief summary about the Red Fox...... and the author Oz down there. That's what it says.

"So let's start with page one."

Following his words, look lightly at the cover area before opening the first page with a line of Eins.

The first page was written: "Discussion of the past appearance of the Red Fox and its route of travel"

The material prepared by Professor Oz is likely to yield more information than Ein thought. The sound of swallowing cockroaches and saliva echoed into the room.

The place moved and Ain't staying at the inn.

When Ain and the others are handed the materials by Professor Oz, my sister, Barra, finally wakes up. For a moment, I said, 'Is that it? Is this...?' He looks around with his sleeping eyes, but his consciousness gradually awakens.

"... yes! The aristocrats asked me yesterday, so I followed them... really, eat your stomach full of rice...!

It would be an old story on a year-by-year basis if I thought about what time I had eaten until I got full, and where I couldn't remember thinking or thinking about it. This is probably the 17th year since birth, a number that seemed pointless to count, but I somehow remembered without forgetting.

Ever since I was brought to this inn, it has been a continuum of things I have never experienced before.

I was surprised to have been in such a warm and comfortable bath, the fact that there was a soft floor, and that there was so much clear water by then.

I also got a lot of meals and scratched them into my mouth uncomfortably for a flavor I had never felt before.

Lie on the bed provided for the fullness that you can't say the first time you feel it. The bed, which seemed to sink everywhere, stopped its sinking in a comfortable place to gently support Burra and May's body. That comfort was my first experience, and soon they traveled to the world of dreams.

"Also, even if you were already fooled, you might be content..."

There's no way there's such a good story. Even if she would have grown up in a slum, it was easy to think about that. But I was also tired of living every day desperately.... I couldn't tell my sister May if her mouth was torn, but I've just been inert about doing anything anymore. "Can't we just die now? 'I can't deny that there's a part of me that thought so.

"Mmm... sister, honey?

"Oh, I'm sorry, May. You woke me up, didn't you?

"Yeah I'm fine...... that, where am I...?

What they slept in until yesterday was in a small cabin that was old and not weird no matter what time it collapsed. It was a house full of windy passageways rather than gap winds for bedding that wasn't enough, but it was still an important home for them to go home to.

That was yesterday. Suddenly it turned into such a luxurious and pleasant environment that it was impossible not to know the situation at first.

"They brought you here yesterday, didn't they? That nobleman wants you to do your job better."

"Yesterday... Yesterday... Ah! You saved me, brother!

"Oh, my brother... no, Mae. Because if you call me that, you're gonna piss me off!

"Ugh...! But your brother is your brother!

Hard for young May yet? It was difficult to make people understand its values because they were not adequately educated in slums.

"What can I say? It's hard to teach...... is that it? What is this... a letter?

I put my foot down to the side of the bed and thought about how I taught it as I sat down on the bed, but on a side table placed beside me, I discovered that there were two letters. It was prepared by Ain, a letter that said what he wanted to tell them.

"To Barra. Is that...?

Although it took a little while, Barra read the letters written on the table.

A lot of trash reaches the slam, but Bahra was learning letters from some newspaper or something that was taken out of it.

When their mother was alive, her mother taught the letters to Bhara little by little. Thanks to that little foundation, I didn't know I could fully read it, but I learned a little bit from it, Barra.

There's nothing you can do, I won't say it until then, but there are a few things you can do in Slam Street. I couldn't find much meaning in remembering the letters one by one in them, but now that its past has lived, it seems a bit proud.

"What!? Your brother left something behind?

"Yeah, sounds like it.... Eh, what do you read this..."

Open the seal of the first letter and start spreading the paper to check the contents. I don't understand every word, so by the way, I don't know what it means.

"Also, I should have studied a little more..."

But it's not easy to find someone who can read enough letters in a slum. So since my mother was gone, learning letters jumped in difficulty at once.

"Sister, sister. What's that? Your brother wrote something down?

"That's right, May. Wait a minute, okay?... because I'll try to read it somehow"

Ein and Katima probably couldn't get their heads around that much. She's from a slum, so she wasn't thinking about the possibility of not being able to read the letters.

Though I didn't usually have much to think about, this should be one lesson for the Ains.

From then on, Barra took a dozen minutes and managed to "decipher" little by little what was written in the first letter.

There were a few letters that could not be read, but it was understandable that they would want to convey them once.

"May? That nobleman says you're more free to use this room. But we shouldn't leave this room until we get back. Okay?"

"Fine! May, I like this room!

"Yeah, good boy. Good boy. I like this room, too."

The look on Mae's face as she looks at Bhara with a full grin. I guess she's also strongly satisfied with what she's been through since last night.

"I like this room warm! It's not cold!

The inn rooms are warm and there is a difference between heaven and earth compared to the borough huts that have been inhabited before. May is naturally delighted.

"Right. Your stomach's full, isn't it?

"Yeah! I don't know, but it was amazing! I ate a lot!

May scratched last night's meal more than Barra did, with fierce momentum. I wish I could have given you more rice, that's what I regret.

"May? 'Cause we're gonna have a lot of dinner again soon, right?

"Really!? I just ate yesterday, can I have dinner again!?

Until now, I can't speak of the luxury of having a daily meal… That's why May hasn't had such a big impact. Being able to eat a full stomach was the happiest thing I could do if I tried from Mae growing up.

"Yeah. It said in this letter that you'd bring me dinner in the morning"

"Yay, yay! Dinner. Dinner!

With his delightful sister sidelined, Barra glanced at the view visible through the window. The sky is already bright. I guess it's time to get my meal as the letter says.

Can I ask you to do something so extravagant? I can't help but think so.

"(I wonder what it means to do this to me... Body? But noble people don't need to buy a woman like me...)"

Even if you treat yourself like a sex slave, I don't care if you're so kind to me. If Mae can eat until she's satisfied too, I don't feel bad. From what I've lived, I can't think of any worse.

I couldn't wait to see how Barra would treat herself like this.

"Oh, speaking of which, I haven't heard your name... I need to hear it right when I thank you"
