Magic Gems Gourmet

99 Hidden Strength.

The souvenirs of Ain arrived in the King's Capital, and Chris and Martha were also kept with you that evening.

It goes without saying, of course, that dinner time was delayed. Katima's fierce momentum forced Silvard to convince him.

Nevertheless, I just waited, and quite a bit of gastronomy was created by the castle cook.

And at dawn of the night, I woke up after it was brighter outside, Ain.

I slept slower than usual because I had no special business.

The Second Expedition of the Old Demon King. It's time to decide on that plan, and that's why I'm nurturing my English... maybe I can say that.

"Oh, no, Krone."

"Yeah, good morning, Ain. I already have... my hair is still here today."

"Uh, where?

This figure, a little too loose, can never be shown to the Kingsguard knights.

I'm not supposed to show my aides much, but I can see their relationship around being silent.

"Not that way... this way"

A raised krone approaches and gently suppresses Ein's head.

Recently I got closer to her a lot. Are you used to it? The answer, of course, is' NO 'if asked.

"Oh, thank you"

"Pfft... why don't you show it to someone else like this?

I'll see if Krone is good, but he's seen it many times, so now it's even better.

He's smiling at me, so I want to believe he's not disillusioning me.

"Hmm. Is it too lax?

So I decided to ask her for her opinion on what was actually going on.

"Oh. You were aware?

"... well, you mean too slow. I know there's something too distracting."

"Phew... Really? I was too distracted..."

Crone looks at Ain's face, holding Ain's hair by his hand, but moving a little left and right.

I seem to be just a little happy, but I don't know why.

As for Ain, though, that was satisfying if she seemed happy.

"Speaking of which, the aide asked me to put him back to sleep, Prince Wang."

"As you can imagine, I'm probably new to Ain"

Royal Ishtarika...... and as Prince Wang, Ein continues to launch various "firsts". I can't help but wonder how such a self will be left in future generations.

"I don't want to leave it for future generations, for real."

"Dull...... So you're praying to God so you can't find my diary, right?

"Right. Pray to God... Huh? Sorry, what's a diary... Huh?

Ain't heard a disturbing word. Are you keeping these things in your diary to see from the story flow? Point your gaze at Krone.

"--... yeah, it's already fixed. Yes, Ain. Good luck, you're done."

He was about to regret a few things, but without showing his face to Ain, Krone takes his hands off his head.

"Hey Krone? Diary is that... Huh?

"It's warm or cold, which one do you want to drink? You're thirsty, aren't you?

"Oh yeah. I think I'm a little thirsty because I'm awake. So I like the cold...... no so Krone? Hey, what's a diary..."

She leaves a disturbing word and takes her seat off at her own pace.

These techniques were her specialty.

"No, the weather is so sunny, my heart isn't calm."

Outside the window, a pale sky that lasts everywhere. Beautiful contrast to the occasionally floating white clouds.

I guess it's a warm day. Water droplets drip more vigorously than usual from the ice column (tulara) attached to the raised roof.

By the way, the night the snow dissolves, the temperature drops and it freezes. Ain was learning in this survey that the ground would then be a tulu.

"What's going on out there? Anything wrong?

I came back with a drink, Krone. As requested, I prepared a cold drink for Ain.

Above the little basin there is another vessel where the hot air rises, which probably belongs to Krone.

"It's a beautiful day," he said.

He won't tell me about the diary anyway.

Ein, who thought so, reopens and starts talking about the scenery. Because it's true that it's a beautiful sight.

"Something warm today. This would make it easier to go to Mr. Shearling's blacksmith."

"Is that it? Dill just went yesterday?

"Ain't never been to me. I was wondering if I could do something about the cost of moving the Demon Stone Furnace."

"He said... what, are you done there already?

I did say that. He took care of his weapon, and he talked to me about how he couldn't handle it.

"Yeah, I just finished. Look, look on the table?

Looking back, I glance at the table placed in the center of the room.

Then I thought the paper was spreading, and one thick envelope is available.

"That envelope?

"I finally packed it all up. Do you care?

Rather care? Ain't no way Ain't gonna ask if he can turn a pleasant gaze at it.

"It seems like there's more to it than what I asked... what did you pack?

Clone mouths to the teacup. After that graceful trick, he smiled at Ain and said the following words.

"Maybe a little sales. I've been pathetic to your grandfather a couple of times, so I've been meaning to introduce you."

"Give me Mr. Graff... uh, I see. I mean... the Augusto Chamber of Commerce."

The poor thing she said must have been when she tried Krone, who became an aide.

Clone, who quickly returned the favor, had given him a discount that was not normally conceivable.

But then I added the phrase, "I've done it a few times," and maybe the same thing happened where Ein doesn't know. Of course I'm a little scared, so I decided not to ask about the content.

"Hehe, correct. I think it's hard to get a new place to live and everything. That's why I packed it together."

Let's just say it's a competent thing to do, though it can't get out of the way.

In fact, he should be thankful for these things, too, given Shearling's character.

"You mean a good idea that helps everyone. --... Hmm? Krone, you just did something pathetic to Mr. Graff, didn't you?

"Oh, yeah... a little too forceful? Is there something I regret, too? So this time--"

"That's what I mean. You haven't been able to talk to me about introducing Mr. Shearton?

He becomes a Kyoton face and begins to have a look like he was poked in the void.

After a few seconds of stiffness, Krone finally opened his mouth.

"Oh, hey Ain. Hair, this one's got honey too, I'll fix it for you, okay?

"... thanks"

It seemed a lot easier to understand deception, but I decide to forgive her for her pleasant grin.

I'll send a letter to Graf next time.

'Nothing, it looks fine, just Krone and me, okay?

That's the line Ain said when Lloyd and the others made the escort.

Lloyd and Dill refuse to do it with a frightened face. It was natural.

Then Ain laughed, 'So who's out there?' and speak.

The two of them, who did not fully understand the meaning, asked Ain what it was about.

'I think it's Mr. Warren's men. I'm looking at it from afar as usual, so let's ask that guy.'

... naturally words by playful and pranky for Ain.

Nevertheless, sympathy was all that came to the secret, which was no longer easily discovered.

It's bad for them. So never mind...... Lloyd was in his heart, and yes, he worked hard on them.

--…… while doing so, the two of them silently took charge of the escort. As usual today, the four of us came to Shearling's blacksmith.

"Oh, my lords! Up you go!

"Grandpa Shizu..."

There are parts that we have broken into with each other, and we enter the store smoothly.

Naturally, there are zero guests today. And the plans for visitors from tomorrow are also zero.

Dill also decided to go inside today instead of being on the lookout outside.

"Oh, for the escort. - Honey! You came yesterday!

"No. Never mind."

A clammy reply, but Shearling won't be offended to hear it.

On the contrary, people who are loyal to their work feel favorable. The one with the bones, even though he's young, that was his appreciation of Dill.

"I'm so sorry. Emmett, I'm sleeping today."

"Mr. Ememme? Did you even get sick?

I don't have a girlfriend that healthy. It was powerful enough to make this blacksmith feel like another space.

"Last night, I made him work too hard. That's why I'm still letting him sleep today. Wheezy."

When I look into the space with the chilling furnace, I see the demonic stone furnace, which has already gone more than half way through the demolition.

Its dismantling involves mental strength in health, the hard work of spending quite a bit of time on them. Yes, Shearling told me.

"Hmm. What's going on today? The four of us are coming, so it's something important, isn't it?

Sit down with Dosin on the table and put that successful arm on.

So much for Lloyd's eyes, too, artisanal arm. Lloyd tells me that's all I know about skill.

"I came today to speak to Master Shearling."

"Ho, from Her Highness's lady? So, what's going on?

Krone, delighted with the word Her Royal Highness's lady, took out the envelope with care.

Then spread the contents to the table and show what has been considered.

"Master Shearton, do you know the Augusto Chamber of Commerce?

"Of course I know that. Even the Baltic craftsmen are now the big chambers of commerce that will take care of the flickering. Is that it?"

"... that's above all. Actually, I'm the granddaughter of the Chamber of Commerce there. So this time, I was hoping I could make some suggestions about moving to Wang Du."

"Ho... that surprised me. You're such a fool. You're the granddaughter of the rich chamber of commerce! That's good!"

Shearling loudly.

I never thought a big guy like Prince Wang would come here like this.

"I don't like the way you put it. So let me be clear. … I was wondering if our Chamber of Commerce could show you" everything "if you ever need to join us."

Krone's confident expression was full of persuasion.

Shearling, who felt the sign, also looked a little tight on his expression.

"Everything, hey...... I'm sorry, Your Highness, but what does everything mean?

"It's literally everything. Arrangements for housing, purchase of land and even the provision of necessary equipment… and concerns, such as the movement of items in connection with the move. Please tell me what it is."

Nico's smiling expression was exactly what she deserved as the granddaughter of the Grand Chamber of Commerce "Augusto Chamber of Commerce" in Wangdu.

"Ha-ha-ha! That's good! I hate troubles. We all hate going through numerous chambers of commerce and making requests to the adventurers. I don't want that time!... so, I mean, what Her Highness's lady said. So you're saying we can leave our" from now on "to you? That includes things about Ememme."

If you were just a woman, you would be frightened by the sight of this shearling.

But instead of being frightened, Krone just smiles even more.

"... besides what I said, let me know if you need anything. I promise you a comfortable life."

I guess that word was a decision punch. Hearing the words, Shearling turned his expression back to something soft and even his voice color grew louder.

"Then I guess I'll leave everything to you. Her Royal Highness's lady said you'd study about the money, wouldn't you?

"Yes, of course. I've negotiated with my grandfather."

Ein wanted an explanation for when he was doing that.

And does it not change the name of Her Highness's lady anymore? As for Ain, I get embarrassed.

"Then I'd like to ask one. My idiot apprentice, he's ordering the stop tree he wanted. Uh... you know what a fuorn group is?

"I know... what happened to that?

"Then we need to talk. Yes. That'll arrive in three weeks, but we're not here anymore. So it's a hassle to send, but can I leave that to you too?... a stupid, stupid bird, but he's a cuter apprentice to me than anyone."

I complain about her with my mouth, and I scold her. I'm not going to talk to him for the rest of my life, but he's still a cute apprentice.

That's why I'm looking forward to sending that stopping tree to the King's Capital somehow.

"Don't worry then. If you are a Fuorn group, it is a group chamber of commerce, so we will carry out transport work internally. Therefore, there will be no additional costs, especially with regard to transportation."

"(Augusto Chamber of Commerce awesome)"

Ein recognised Graf's arm. It is only natural to be surprised by the magnitude of the scale. I was afraid that the Hufu Chamber of Commerce was a group Chamber of Commerce.

"Hey... when did the Augusto Chamber of Commerce acquire the Fuorn group?"

"It's not a takeover. It's just that we're in a close relationship."

We have quality wood and a reputable Fuorn set when it comes to woodworking.

Reputation amongst the craftsmen kept their relationship with the Augusto Chamber of Commerce close at some point.

That was quite shock information for the artisan shearling.

"I see. There are a lot of great stories I don't know about, but I mean, it's okay for the Augusto Chamber of Commerce to take care of me, right?

"Yep. I'll take care of it, Master Shearling."

"Then tell me about the property. I knew I had a budget, and I wanted to put it within it."

So he stood up and took a piece of coal-fired paper from the storage near the furnace.

"It's bad that the paper isn't dirty. Yesterday when I was cleaning the furnace, it was covered in dust.... I talked to Emmett about the conditions of the property. And it's got a budget, so why don't you think about it?

A good flow of conversation as beautiful as he is. One by one, the clam decides the flow feels like they don't like trouble.

I'll take a look.

Krone who received that paper. I think it would be rude to just see it, and Ain't got Lloyd, and Dill's three slightly out of sight.

"... Excuse me, Master Shearling? For this amount, on the contrary, I would like a few more steps of equipment."

"Oh, come on. Is that true? So maybe you can even buy a furnace from Ist!?

"Oh, yeah... even if you have the whole thing up to date, you'll come along"

"That's bullshit. Well, then, Your Highness's lady, do it in a good way within that budget. I don't need fishing, just do it with intent to run out!

Hearing the masculine dialogue, Ain makes a note of it in his heart.

I can't take my ears off Shearling's words because I mean the dialogue I admire every once in a while.

"M...... Master Shearling!? Are you really going to run out of...?

"It would be nice to use it par occasionally. Don't worry, it's about two-thirds!

"... ok. So what do we do about location?"

"Your Royal Highness can come and shop anywhere you want. I'll take care of that!

As a shearling no longer, I guess I'm going to leave the property entirely to you.

It feels like we've already thrown everything at Krone.

"Then we will prepare it that way. And then there are a few things I need to talk to you about, such as shipping furnaces...... is it ok for our Chamber of Commerce people to come?

"There's no problem! I'm sorry, you got to do that!

Ha-ha-ha! and shearling overflowing with male hormones, delighted to have taken care of her.

When I look at Krone on the other hand, she just looks really surprised. I decided to ask you later what was going on.

"Then it's a hassle for you to do, and it's a little service.... Hey, Grayshire's, show me your sword."

"... hmm? Me?"

"Yeah, that's you. Let me see that big sword on that back. It's not sharpened, is it?

In the direction of Shearling's fingers, there is a sword on Lloyd's back.

Lloyd then turned out surprised and asked why he noticed.

"Sure, I haven't sharpened it lately... but how did you figure that out?

"Ah? You can tell by the sound that moves in the sheath. About. The sword is ringing, come on, let it out. I'll see what I can do."

What are you talking about? and Lloyd with a strange face, but he was right that he hadn't sharpened it these days.

Make sure Ain snorts, and Lloyd pulls the sword out and shows it to Shearling.

"What the hell. Wouldn't you be scratched again?"

"... as far as I can tell, there seems to be a scratch."

"What are you talking about? No matter where you look, it's scratchy, I really don't serve you like this. Forgive your Highness, my lady. It's special."

Then he takes the sword and heads to the blacksmith in the back, Shearling.

What was visible in his eyes? Lloyd didn't even know that.

"... Father. But you can see Lord Mouton's skill."

"Oh, yeah... but if what you said earlier is true, Lord Shearling is also the owner of the monster stained technology."

With a little noise, I can see the status of the sword.

If that's true, you might call it exactly the god of blacksmiths. That makes so much sense.

"Mr. Shearton looks awesome, too. What's the matter, Krone? I'm not so surprised."

"... the latest furnace created with the ist is expensive. How much do you think I'd pay just to buy one?

"I've never heard of it, like 10 million G's?

I've never even heard of Lloyd or Dill. I never cared until the price of the furnace.

"It's small, but it starts at 200 million when it's up to date."

"... billions?

Twenty times what I imagined, the beginning and end of hearing it all over again. Next to Ain, Lloyd and Dill get a similar look of surprise.

"On the terms of the property, yes. There were two large furnaces in one. If it's large, it's nearly 300 million, so the furnace alone is 800 million."

"... you're lying, right?

"It's true. We had bills made together in Wangdu, so we could pay."

That's why I'm surprised. That's what I said, Krone.

Ein and the others who heard about it ended up just as surprised as Krone.

"Lord Krone... by the way, the budget designated by Lord Shearton..."

Finally, Lloyd, losing interest, asks about the budget.

"A billion. That was the budget I would pay for my home."

The open mouth stopped blocking, but that would be natural. Indeed, it can be more than 10 billion if it is to be a fancy magic item. That's what Ain't been taught by Chris.

But I didn't think Shearling would personally give that kind of amount.

"So we will also put all the transport costs, etc., into this budget. Plus, you can choose a pretty good location.... Good for you Ain't it easier to go?

"... yeah. Right."

Where and how did you make so much money?

... No, on second thought, his technical fees are very high. With that in mind, it may not be so hard to make more money.

"What are you talking about, you guys?... Here's Grayshire's. We're done sharpening."

"Ugh, sorry to bother...... hmm?

I was in the middle of a conversation, but Shearling, who had finished sharpening his sword, came back. He lightly assumes Lloyd's sword and comes to Ain and the others.

"--... is this really my sword, is it?

"This is the one with no scratches. He's so fine. Take care of him."

That sword Lloyd took in his hand was a flourishing one to believe even when he was told he had traded it for another.

The light that plugs through the window reflects. This has always been the case, but there is no distortion in the light.

On the contrary, I feel the illusion that the light has become even stronger than in direct sunlight.

Three likewise fall in love with Ain, Krone, and Dill, so much so that Lloyd the owner falls in love.

"... with one sharpening, does it involve this far?

"Fuck you! This is the shearling grind! Even Emmett can do this!

I didn't think that the bird in charge of the mess (Emmett) was the owner of this technology.

But at the same time, I could understand why Shearling was so rich.

"Then try cutting it off. Tried out."

What you see in the direction you point to is the iron pillar where everything rushes.

It was placed as a support for the furnace, but no longer a necessary substitute. He said cut it off.

"... then let us not hesitate"

Reborn partner. Lloyd was the same thing that I couldn't help but worry about the sharpness of it.

Lloyd approaching the indicated iron pole and waving his sword up. Ein sips and watches, too.

"No, no, no, no!

Mood in, wave down the great sword.

The sound of metal rubbing against each other sounds for a moment, then Lloyd stops the sword near the ground.

"... it must have been handy."

"Look closely. The pillar's already broken. That's all he's got. Take care of him."

A shearling that takes a small hammer and throws it away.

When it hits a pillar, it makes a dull noise and falls to the ground. —— Then the columns bend and the columns deviate to match the lines cut by Lloyd.

"That's the guy from Grayshire. It was a brilliant gesture."

"... what a cut. I didn't know grinding would make it this far..."

Lloyd's sword is not a weapon that focuses on sharpness. One way or another, it's a weapon with the image of slashing it with weight.

Even so, I cut it off. The iron pillars were cut with sharp cleavage.

"Hey, Your Highness. I'll build a weapon from scratch, will you look forward to it?

He must be...... no for sure, the best blacksmith in Ishtalika. It was convincing enough to make me think so.

Ain't got excited, of course. I can't help but be excited about what sword will be made due to his technology.

Seeing him grinning niggardly, Ain's heart danced strong.

"... it's great, Mr. Shearling. I can't wait to see what kind of sword you can have, looking forward to it!

Marine dragon material on living armor material. What sword does that turn into? I couldn't help but look forward to seeing Ain when I got back to Wang Capital.
