Before I had a drink with Cody, I had to dry each of Miralka, Yuma and Eileen's hair from the bath.

"Mr. Dick, you're so good... you're about to open a dry shop."

"That's right ~, if you do it, you're going to fall asleep, and it's going to be rough. How was Miralka?

Miralka's hair is well maintained, but it usually takes about an hour to dry. If I use my hot air drying technique, I'll let it dry in about 15 minutes. After exploring the labyrinth, my hair was still damaged a little, but I used healing magic to fix it when I put my hand through my hair.

She tested the finger streets to make sure she was going through them, and sat with her legs on the sofa in the living room.

"You're doing pretty well. You can still dry my hair sometimes."

"I think you told Eileen something like that once a month..."

I can only say why Miralka's attitude is from above is because of her. You can only be honest once in a while, so don't expect it all the time. And it's not something I can tell you now.

"I'd like to do it a couple times a week. I thought I'd cut it off before Dick dries it up."

"Yuma has never stretched her shoulders longer in a long time. Many clergymen have short hair, but is that what the commandments say?

"No, nothing in particular. Sometimes my mother tells me to stretch it out...."

"That's fresh. Long-haired pussy... maybe grown up."

"... like an adult... I wonder... can I even be an adult?

Yuma touched the tip of her hair and felt irritated. Of course, even if the hair is short, there are some people who have a very adult female atmosphere like Rhea, so there is a personal difference. I think Yuma seems like a girl enough, but she is old enough to give the impression that she is more or less a girl.

"It's good to change your mood, but it's also good to change your hair. Dick always has the same hair, but doesn't he change it once in a while?

"When I go to an Alliance Master meeting, I have to dress up neatly. It's subtly different when you're drinking at the store than when you're going out. Even when I'm adventuring."

"Sometimes I'm impressed because you're unexpectedly attentive to time and time."

"Miralka, you've been watching Dick a lot. I have to worry a little bit too ~, such as dressing up."

"I wonder if you're watching... the object of observation?"

I don't have many opportunities to deal with men, so is it used as a research material? As far as I can tell, despite the fact that so many men have been crushed, there are still many men who are targeting Miralka.

I would have been assassinated if I had known that a woman in the high ridge of the King's City was drying her hair in a pyjama. It would be great if someone could assassinate me.

"Nnju... what? How long have we been here... fuahh..."

Mizha's fox ears twitched and she woke up sleeping round on one of the sofas. She held her mouth down and yawned, and noticed that I was watching and her face turned red.

"No, I don't want to, just keep looking. Dear Dick, I love you very much."

"Good morning, Mizha. My brother's gone home."

"Ah, let me. My older brother asked me if I could only go to the Guild store tomorrow. I don't mind helping you, but it's like..."

"I was just curious, Zed is so powerful that he doesn't choose a job. It's a mystery that I was at the Blue Archer's Pavilion. Is that what it's been like for a long time?

"Niisama was blessed with a lot of talent from my family and people, and was said to be a genius, but I'm not really aware of it. I left the village because I wanted to know the outside world before I became a chief and spread the word, but it hasn't changed much since I was in the village. Because of my pace."

I wanted to be on the front line, but I wonder if it would be just as worrying to leave my sister alone. Either way, I feel that if Zeke gives instructions as an Alliance Master, he will take care of most things.

"Ah, but I want you to fight me, brother. Niisama, silence is powerful, so it's a bit suitable for the customer service business."

"Oniichan would be shocked if she knew you were telling me this. I used to say to my dad," I'm scared of my face, so don't come play with my friends. "

"My father said to me, 'I'm not scared' because he cares about me. Father, your body is very big, but delicate."

I can imagine that Mr. Grenadine is so fond of Yuma that he shouldn't frighten his daughter's friends.

I thought I heard about my father, but what about Miralka? I've never heard of my father in detail.

"My father is partial, so I don't want to show him much to my friends. I try to make weird magic and experiment."

"Miralka's father is a professor at the University of Magic. Ah, I guess I'm glad to say this."

Miralka sees me, but it's not like it was a secret. However, it was a subtle expression that could not be said if there was anything I thought about revealing my father.

"Dick, if you run into someone named Fenroute Elise at Magic University, don't worry about it right now. My father's a freak, so he's going to have to go through some weird experiments."

"Ah, ahh... you mean Mr. Fenroute?"

"Isn't there something interesting about weird experiments? Dick, I think I like that."

"We're also interested. But, Miralka, don't get too excited about it.

"I think you can tell by the content of the experiment. Like me, there is no clarity in pursuit of the aesthetic of destruction, it is difficult or annoying....."

I saw Miralka in trouble, and occasionally she was unattended, but I wondered if it was my father's influence.

◆ ◇ ◆

Humans coming from the outside to King Alvinas often stop on either 7th and 8th Avenues, which are close to the south central gate, the closest to the west gate, and our 12th Avenue, which is close to the east gate, among the twelve streets parallel to the north and south of King Alvinas.

The merchant who visited King's Landing for the first time in the transaction came in through the West Gate with Customs and stayed in the tallest lodging on First Avenue, where he learned that the living standards of the residents varied from street to street in King's Landing, and he began to use lodging at the right price. If you are a luxurious merchant, you will not stick to the gold and stick to the first street inn, but let me tell you, the name of the first street is the brand, and the standard of living up to the third street is not much different. Even though the image of the eleventh street as a civilian city and the twelfth street as a slum city - the slum where the rules are controlled is not as uncomfortable as it looks.

When I first arrived, it was a suspicious place to really be in King's Landing, like a man falling with a pair of pants peeling off from the alley. And I learned of the existence of a hierarchical identity structure in King's Land, which did not exist in a local village - the inhabitants of 12th Street were forced to live in poor conditions so that other ordinary people would not be dissatisfied with their lives.

Working in the shadows to change the environment was also included in my first year of activities when I took over the Alliance House on 12th Street.

"Dick, what's wrong? Looks like you're thinking something. Please feel free to talk to me if you like."

Cody sat at the counter and said. I saw the liquor I was serving thinking about what to make, and I switched my head if it wasn't good in the sky.

"Oh, no, I just wondered how Cody's eyes looked at this 12th Street life."

"It's full of vibrancy, and compared to the old days, there's a difference in security. I think it's a good place."

"I see. There will come a day when 12th Street will literally become the 12th city of bad air."

"... after all, Dick is in a good position to put people together. With the guild on this street, you want to improve the lives of the people in town, don't you?

Cody's allegations point sharply. As you can see by looking at me, I was ashamed to be honest with you.

"That's not how it works. I want to change the situation where I live on this street and have bad growth and weird prejudices."

"I think about it and make it happen to some extent. You can do the same no matter where you live. [M] I don't want to stand out, but people view it as modest. Like Princess Manarina did."

Manarina reminded me of her, but I want to thank you for inspiring the Explorers. I wonder if I can make an opportunity to see you soon - and if you do that all the time, you can be told that you're chasing all the women's butts.

"Well, that's enough of that... what do you want to drink?

"I see... the truth is, when I think about tomorrow, I'd like something without alcohol, but I just want to drink it a little bit."

I see. Well, I'll get drunk moderately, but over time, I'll gently come out and sleep well. "

"Yes, please. Dick really knows how to drink."

"In other words, alcohol is the ingredient that determines the effect. I've tried all kinds of liquids for blended ingredients. I've had painful eyes."

"Ahahah... rather than being the owner of a tavern, you seem to be doing a suspicious experiment. It could also be used as the subject of a paper to be submitted to the University of Magic, how to make Dick's liquor."

Magic College is now half-time. The people of King's Landing have been warned that if anything happens in the underground labyrinth, they will be able to evacuate immediately, but there are no residents who have tried to evacuate at this stage.

That is why the King's Capital had enduring peace and was not threatened by external enemies. I can't betray that trust, and that's why Prime Minister Lowe suffered a heavy burden of responsibility.

I decided to concentrate on the blend now because I thought about it. Mix liqueur soaked in "pepam grass" with a cooling and stimulating taste, and then mix the sour "quan nut" juice and brandy in a shaker and pour into a glass with ice.

"This... just the scent will calm you down. It's going to be nice... but it looks pretty tight."

"I didn't tell you that much about alcohol. The alcohol in Yale is relatively thin, but everyone feels better by drinking the amount like water. This kind of alcohol is thick enough to be drunk even if it's a glass of wine, so if there's something else to drink, it's better not to choose only tough alcohol. I do it well, but you should be careful with multiple types of alcohol. Sometimes drunkenness is not half as good."

"Thank you for telling me so politely. Looks like Dick finally recognized me as a shop customer."

"No, even if I only drink Yale, I can say I know how much I enjoy drinking. Just because I'm big, I really think it's better to drink as much as I want."

I kept the same for myself and went back to the seat next to Cody. Combining stylish glasses with each other doesn't look good to me, but I drink a toast to both.

"Nh... ahh, delicious. It feels a little tingling, but it's refreshing to drink."

"It seems that the tingling ingredients will make it difficult for me to leave alcohol later."

"The sweetness is modest, so it seems okay to drink it in the way it is now. I was ashamed of the feeling that the liquor I had dined on at Beatrice's Mansion was for women. It doesn't suit me."

"Ah... I think I was a little brave, too. But after realizing it, I thought it was different to deceive you."

"Well... why did you notice that? I've been with you for five years, but you never noticed."

Cody drinks another sip of alcohol and looks at me sideways.

In the old days, I would have remembered that I didn't have that kind of hobby, even though I thought it was a man who was still a colorful trick.

--But now it's more than that.

I can't hide any more that I found out who Cody is by peeking. Losing Cody's trust in this kingdom crisis should definitely be avoided, but it is an inevitable path.

"... I'm not going to say anything like that when I'm angry with you. You know who I am, don't you?

"Ah, ahh... it's basically warm. I rarely get angry."

"Yeah, I might be angry about this, but I'd like you to be prepared to talk to me for a moment."

That's the right thing to say, and not answering what Cody cares about is what you do as a person. I decided to tell you how I found out who Cody was.
