"Excuse me, Master."

"... is that already the time? Wait a minute, I can't believe there's another sign closing right now."

"Good evening. Sorry to disturb you at night, Master"

"You... you were with Amami. Ha, that's a big deal. Not just Amami, but the chief inside?

"Yeah, it is. This guy's an imaginary technician."

"A little inside length?

An Amami destination liquor store that passed through dim woods illuminated by the light of the moon and stars and came again.

Suddenly appearing from the backyard, the master heads to the entrance of the store to show a little surprise.

After all, I'm convinced this person was also an associate inside, sitting in a counter seat with no other guests.

If you look at the surrounding seats, the rest of the guests enjoyed the evening out until a short while ago, leaving their leftover dishes behind.

From what I can tell by the master, it seems that Director Ri has often visited here at this hour.

"Often, we visit here after the power supply."

"Well, I was just wondering, if you're powering up, you don't have to eat."

"Because I have a taste, too. If you're going to spend a long time, you have to find a lot of fun. In my case, it's sexual, it's food."

"Is it sex?"

"Hehe hehe..."

She took a bottle back from the other side of the counter, like at home she knew on her own.

Wine...... not really. There's something solid inside. Is it fruit wine?

"I don't really like alcohol. It can be an obstacle to normal thinking. This is like the minimum amount of appetite you need to make your dishes delicious."

"I see. Well, I'll hold off today, too"

Toctok and an almost colorless, transparent liquid poured into the brandy glass that was ready at some point while making a pleasant noise.

I still don't know if I'm trapping the fragrance inside a glass with some sensual crease or what this liquid is.

When I received the bottle from her, just to take it away, she pulled the glass over to this side, laughing a little sorry.

"Okay, please"

Again, it pours while making the ears sound comfortable, like it liquefied the innocence.

Hold each other's glasses, ring toast signals that touch lightly, including a bite to stir.

"Is this... apple liquor"

"Almost before fermentation, though. It's low enough alcohol for a little kid."

When you put that in your mouth, which contains acidity like a young fruit, the fluffy, refreshing scent comes out of your nose.

I see. I can say it's excellent as an aperitif indeed.

"Oh, my God, you've already started... That's not the way it's supposed to be, he's still working on it."

"That's why. Because I don't really like alcohol."

"It would be inappropriate for you to say that in a tavern... well, that's why you like our food."

"Yeah, sure. I'm just wholesale food inside of me as a priority. Today, the usual... for both of you, please."

She generally orders dishes to see if there is anything she would like to recommend.

She wiggles and shakes the glass, trying to kill time for that dish to be ready.

On the strangely picturesque side, from its appearance, which only looks like a minor, there is an atmosphere that is somewhat counterproductive and dangerous.

Speak to her who has turned into that kind of taboo presence.

"Have you been here long?

"Well, at least because I'm somewhat involved in opening this store. Probably the most regular."

"I see..."

I'm sure you wanted to create a discreet entrance somewhere in relation to the junction of the forest.

I don't know why that's the backyard of the store.

"In a long history. This land has also repeatedly declined and thrived on several occasions. This store is where I intervened because the master accidentally attempted to build a store in the place where this starts."

"Oh, it's been three ” years... one day, all of a sudden, this manager came to this place before the store opened, and he said, “ If you want to open a shop here, you need to talk to me a little bit ”. At first, I thought," What is this girl? "

Without stopping to cook, the master takes over the story to miss somewhere.

"I've been looking at people, judging them, trying to get rid of them if they're not suitable for glasses."

The two of them told me about the time and let me hear it.

That he was trying to create an entrance that no other human would ever find out to protect the inside.

that there were many people entering and fearing the woods behind the town, the original entrance.

In the first-generation inner long dead state, improving the junction, making it outrageously difficult to navigate to set the entrance, etc.

"Actually, there was an elf who cooperated. I'm a young elf who also helped me when I first made that inside, but the next time I saw him, he was a grandpa for a long time. Damn, I would have enjoyed it more if I'd seen you at the most delicious time."

"How is that again? But can you trust that elf?

"Yeah, because you're from outside this continent. Anything you said, 'I'm retiring soon, so I came by to see how things were going before then.'"

... Hmm. "Retired Soon," "About Three ” Years Ago," "Outer Continent".

What if, once again, Mr. Cromwell is involved?

No, if I did, I think I would have told Lue about this inside...

... No, maybe he wanted to keep it a secret the other way around.

the situation that the existence of a similar situation with her is living with her companions.

Was it, perhaps, the consciousness of sin? to the fact that we could not walk with Lue until the end.

Just an imagination. But you should keep this in my mind, I guess.

"We made it, Chief, and..."

"It's Caivon."

"Well, give it a try, Caivon"

The dishes served were sliced thinly and served with dishes similar to the tatataki of the cow made last night by the length of the mile.

However, the surface of the thin sauce and meat is white, and the area is applied wondering if it is a marinade companion.

The aroma is… acidic aroma and an indicative garlic aroma.

Very, very likely to booze.

Especially since today it's a young fruit liquor that you can almost call juice.

"Okay, I'll take it"

Make sure to hook the meat up to the fork and lift it, including it in your mouth.

The taste of exquisite balance spreads through the mouth, with a mixture of acidity and sweetness, but with a palpable taste of garlic and spices.

And every time I chew it, I stain it, the flavour of the meat. I see, this is indeed... superb.

"I don't know, if my taste isn't crazy, I don't think it's delicious"

"It's delicious. It goes well with this fruit liquor."

"Yeah, I guess so."

That's how I indulge in a plate of conversations from time to time.

Then the master waved the story as he cleared the surrounding seats.

And the contents...

"That's right, Chief. Apparently, there's a bunch of kingdom knights on their way to this lodging town. Well, this is probably the time. The lodging along the street is more full, so I guess I'm going to stay here."

"... No, that's not necessarily true. Haven't you heard from Amami? A little while ago, they said that an example of a chemical appeared, and it could be an investigation."

"Mmm... I'm not listening"

"I heard last night that apparently Amami herself is getting noticed from the upper levels of the Knights of Liberty. That seems to be why I went into the investigation to get out alone..."

"In time, the Knights of the Kingdom and the Knights of Liberty might join us."

Two alarming mouthpieces somewhere.

But here comes the question.

Are those two organizations close enough to be able to work together that much?

I recall before the guild led by Oink in Endoresia and the insistence of the nobles of the kingdom and question it.

"Basically, the two organizations never move jointly, do they? But - what about up there? If you have any major purpose, if you are compelled to do so, you may move with us. Not to mention the common enemy that nests on this continent, so"

"Originally, the Freedom Knight was an organized weave and originated on the Sarsgard side. It's on the republican side, but the system is the same over here, but we're talking about Big Book splitting up."

"... then shouldn't we be vigilant? If we can look into this town, we won't be the first."

"It's okay. Even so, we are involved in the inner kingdom because we are the greatest magicians of all time."

But what if Dahlia was in that group?

Think of it......

"Looks like you're still worried about that face."

"… a while ago, I ran into a person near here who seemed to be Dahlia."

"... the Virgin of Eternity, is it"

"He..."

No, but at that time I... No, I want to avoid being hostile to him as me.

If my presence becomes known to Dahlia as an enemy, will it raise the alert value to its maximum?

If that happens, Lue's wish won't come true, never.

Of course, he doesn't think he's suddenly hostile without discussion.

But... from what I've heard, Dahlia has lived in this world for at least a few hundred years.

I can't believe I spent two “ years in Japan as my friend, in front of the flow of that time......

Anxiety brings sickles. Twitching, feelings similar to suspicious ghosts erode thoughts.

"Okay. Let's be a little vigilant. Master, I will seal this entrance for some time after today. Right, a week. If in the meantime a free knight, or a group of kingdom knights, does not appear, let the usual child bear his mark. But..."

"If it's urgent, I'll put a red collar on that cat and give it back,"

"Yeah, please"

Is that a tea tiger cat from your garlic daughter?

A kind of peculiar individual that you can ignore the junction of the forest and move on.

What if the cat is defending the field as part of it, as the conductor of what if?

"Mr. Caivon. So tomorrow you should leave the inside..."

"No, I'll stay. It would be better if you had a lot of fighting power."

"It doesn't necessarily come all the way inside yet. It's almost impossible to get there than sealing the entrance."

"But not from the woods in the back of town."

"I'm definitely getting lost. Still, if you break through, now it's a forwarded line if you go the wrong way."

Are you absolutely confident in that juncture, she says with a mouthful that refuses to stay here.

Though I'm not sure if that's a convenience to keep this one out of it or for any other reason.

But - if I snort here, Lue will never move. I'm sure of that.

"If Dahlia were there... perhaps the junction would be nullified as well"

"That's it, is it? Even this was never broken in hundreds of years, was it?

… If it is the "Nahat" person who was once taught by Lue and the "Licht" person who was also born under Lue, it is possible to break it if Lue cares about it.

And if it falls into Dahlia's hands, which also outstrips that rue......

"It is a magician who presides over continental boundaries. Whatever you can do, it won't be weird."

"... is that right? If that's what you're going to say, I'll allow you to stay. Promise me you won't do anything dangerous. If anything happens to you, my child will be saddened."

"Absolutely. It's okay, I was going to take the big boat."

To be specific, I meant to be on a Titanic ship.

... I'll crush the iceberg.
