Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

Time goes back to the morning.

The point of view also shifted, to the ship of Energia, which was anchored away from the town…. There, Eve had a dark look on her face for some reason.

"... no wheat"

Wheat for her is synonymous with the lifeline. Love udon and bread so much (?) For her, the lack of wheat was such a big problem that she felt a headache. Exactly, like Inari sushi for Lucia, if you don't eat it, you die (?) Although it was not, it did not seem to be an issue that could be left alone.

Eve like that was in the kitchen in the cafeteria on the Energia ship, where she was actually holding her head with both hands...... It wasn't Rosemary, her sister's share, who spoke on that back.

"Hey, Eve. Lunch today, what?

A red-haired girl brought from the town of Forn. Catalina (small). Catalina went to Lucia and the others, so Eve was promoted to a caregiver. It should be noted that henceforth, we shall simply refer to Catalina (small) as' Catalina '.

"Mm-hmm... Marie might make some curry rice."

"They're chairs?

"Oh, but I don't have any wheat, so I might not be able to thicken it... Then... maybe a soup curry (maybe not at all, Marie, can you make it...)"

"Shh, shh, shh.

"Maybe, Catalina, don't you know what a curry is?

Seeing Catalina's reaction, Eve wondered if there were any curries in this era. I'm not sure if that's her guess, but at least Catalina, who was there, didn't seem to know Curry existed.

"Hmm... fish soup?

"Maybe a little different. Sure, there may be fish named Calais or Leeches, but they may not be in the curry, right?

"Hmm. So, what's a curry?

"I don't mean curry."

And when Eve tries to explain... Likewise, Chief Cock, who was in the kitchen -- a hunter came to two places.

"What do you mean, curry? It's a really good dish. It's got a lot of meat in it, and just eating it gives me strength... that kind of dish"

"Mr. Hunter... that might not explain anything at all..."

"Hmm? Oh yeah...... Well, if you explain it properly --"

A hunter who explains that the spices are soothing. That doesn't include jargon in her description...... It seemed like an easy explanation for Catalina.

"I see. It's like a pill, isn't it?

"Medicine... Maybe it wasn't a mistake."

"Yeah, it's the same as your medicine, because it might taste like poison just a little bit wrong."

"Duh, tastes like poison...?

"Ah... uh... Marie's curry is delicious, so maybe you don't have to worry about it, huh?

And Eve, who sees Catalina with a strange look on her face, adds an explanation.

But she had one concern. As mentioned, the wheat was cut to thicken the curry.

"Um... Mr. Hunter?

"Yeah? What's up?

"Hunter, don't you have wheat?

"Wheat... Maybe not?

"Yeah...... I almost left it at South Fortress, and it may have disappeared this morning..."

"Right...... So, we have to go buy it out, huh?

"But... where?

"Come on? I don't know about this era...... But like Lucia and the others, I think it's easier to find sushi ingredients than go looking for them?

"Sure..."

And when Eve is nodding ——

"Are you looking for wheat?

—— Catalina reacts.

"Yeah. Maybe Catalina knows where the wheat's for sale?

"Hmm..."

And Catalina to think about. She had been deprived of her memory by Teresa, so she hardly remembered her hometown. Eve seems to have completely forgotten about it at this time and was heartily hysterical.

But in Catalina's head, questions seemed to swirl in a different direction.

"... that? Speaking of which, where do you sell it? I've never seen it in an eight hundred shop, I've never seen it in a butcher shop, I'm not a fish shop..."

Eve relieved ho after hearing Catalina say...... I started talking like I was going to hit on you.

"At the butcher's and fishmonger's, you probably don't think they just put it there, do you? But... I put it away at the Eight Hundred Stores, but I don't think I've ever seen Eve either."

Listening to those two conversations, now the hunter points them out.

"If you're buying wheat, you're a grain dealer."

"Cocksucker?

"Well, briefly, it's a wheat shop. It's a store that deals with wheat, rice, potatoes, and all the staple foods. Maybe it's in town most of the time?

"A grain dealer... What to do..."

Eve worried about whether to go buy wheat, even to the grain dealer, listening to the hunter. Yesterday she seemed cautious about going outside because she had heard that Lucia and the others, who had left the energy and gone looking for sushi ingredients, had gotten into trouble.

But wheat for Eve is an essential culinary ingredient. It is an important ingredient that cannot be substituted for other cereals such as rice and potatoes. Besides, wheat is also used for the majority of the dishes served in the cafeteria, so it was likely that the dishes listed on the menu would hardly be able to be made as they were.

As a result, as head of the cafeteria, Eve decides. It should be noted that it will not be necessary to say what we have decided.
