"Phew... good morning"
When Taketo woke up, he looked at the usual sight in front of him and thought vaguely, "Why am I always here when I woke up?"
Did you react to that voice? A big face turned towards us. Two huge eyes staring at the tacket. It's Ulu.
When I woke up again this morning, the tacket was on Ulu's stomach.
(... that's strange. Why are you here every morning when you wake up?)
When I went to bed yesterday, I should have been lying away from Ulu. That's for sure. Because it happens every night.
But when I woke up, for some reason, it was on Ulu's stomach.
At first, I was surprised and shouted, but recently I've become a little used to it. Besides, Ulu's stomach is tingling and warm, especially his stomach is fluffy and feels good.
(No way. Me. You're not sleepy wandering around...)
Until I came to this world, I never woke up in a different place than before I went to bed, unless I was a little drunk. I used to sleep in bed every day, and sometimes I fell asleep and fell out of bed, but at best.
(Unless I'm asleep and climbing to Ulu's belly myself... after Ulu went to bed on purpose, you mean you're sucking on my mouth?
Every night? It seemed very strange, but I couldn't explain it very well.
(I wonder...)
Feeling something that didn't make sense, the tacket scratched his head and came down from above Ulu's stomach.
Then, a few hours later.
"... ah, yes... it's so delicious..."
While exerting his knowledgeable skill, Taketo clasped the pie stuck in the fork into his mouth.
This is a reception set located in the Royal Palace's Office of the Magic Beast Poacher. Pie and tea on a plate are placed in front of the tuk-top on the sofa. The pie dough is more or less burnt, and the fruit inside is like adding apples and monkeys and splitting them in two. The sweetness is strong and delicious.
And then...
There was a woman in front of me who gave a smile and a smile.
Really? It's an honor to have you here.
She put her hands in front of her chest with joy.
"Come on, don't hesitate to eat as much as you have.
and put a large plate on her lap in front of the tucket. The hall pie on the plate was spicy and sweet like cinnamon.
She was about thirty years old. The soft brown hair on your shoulders is soft and loose, and the brown eyes that you just turned towards me are slightly warm. And since you are wearing a long piece of the type of hem with a cuddly string around your waist, it feels like your chest is originally overemphasized.
In addition, on the other side of the sofa where she was sitting, a five-year-old boy slightly ran around, and a baby on her back, who seemed to be barely a year old, suddenly sighed. Somehow, from her own, it smells somewhat sweet and different from the smell of pie.
Her chest, which seemed to be tight, was in front of her and she was a little confused, so she leaned the cup and sipped tea.
(... who is this guy!?
It's been a week since I came to this other world.
I feel like I've been quite confused with the front of the Magic Beast Poaching Control Office here, but I've never seen such a woman before.
It seems that there is a weekly rest day in this country according to the state religion, and today was the rest day. So I didn't really have to come to work, but Chante went for a walk in Ulu, and I had plenty of time. So, when I came hanging around here, she caught me.
(I don't know who it is, just the two of you... No, I have the little ones. Tea with a serious stare is hard.....)
I don't know how to get out of this room, but this pie is really delicious. Basically, the food in this world has a lot of simple flavors like black bread, black beer named Yale, cabbage pickles, bean stew, and occasional meat.
In the meantime, this pie was an absolute delicacy among the things Taketo ate in this world.
(After eating this pie, will you excuse me for telling me something proper... no, I think I'll get a change of clothes after all)
While thinking about it, if you're pouring in too much cheeky pie with tea, suddenly your back is pushed down and stuck accidentally in your throat.
When I coughed with tears, a familiar voice flew from behind.
"It's a hundred years early to have Marie's sweets all to herself."
It was Brigitta.
"I don't want to be alone... geho, goho"
"Ah, Marie-san! Hello! Wow! Pie, it looks delicious...!! What... Taketo, what's wrong?
And this is Chante. My voice is playing more than usual.
Taketo glanced at Brigitta, who sat a little politely next to the sofa, protesting, "Oh my God, all of a sudden." However, Brigitta doesn't look like she wants anything to do with it, and she has a slippery face.
"Good day, everyone. It's a rest day, so I was hoping that no one would come, but I'm glad to come. I have plenty for you, so why don't you have a cup of tea?
The woman, Marie, puts the pie on a plate and gives it to Brigitta and Chante with a fork.
Not only Chante, but even that high-spirited Brigitta was happy to receive it. Perhaps Marie's pie is also a magic attraction for some people.
Chante sat down on the other side of the bridge, pinching the tacket, and carried the pie into her mouth in a fork in a pleasant mood. Chante smiled happily and the tacket was watching for a while.
One day, he remembers something and mutters, "Yes." I wanted to ask her something.
Hmm?
Taketo says to Chante, who looks at us with his fork sucked.
"I don't mind if I finish eating. I wanted to tell you something."
"Hmm? Even now? After that, I'm thinking of going for an afternoon walk to the woods a little further away from Ulu."
We're still going for a walk! Why do you need so much walking when you're so big!? I wanted to say that, but that's not what I want to hear right now.
When Taketto took the Spirit Gun out of the waist holster, he shifted the wrench-shaped rotary magazine with his fingers and took out the magic stone inside the magazine. A long ellipse, like a bullet casing, falls on the palm of a tacket, falling apart and six pieces.
Of the six Magic Stones, one used for the trial shot had a blackish color. When they first loaded it, they probably had a bright red color like ruby. Apparently, the spirits will return to the original Magic Stone color because the spirits contained inside will appear when they are used.
I tried shooting with used magic stones, but just like shooting with an empty casing, the trigger just clicked, and the Spirit Bullet didn't come out.
"This. It seems like it can only be used once, but how do I replenish the ammo?
"Oh, this? Mm-hmm. If you want a Spirit of Fire, just throw it into the fire for a while. That way, the Spirit of Fire will accumulate again. But is all this magic stone for the Spirit of Fire...? Marie-san, what does this say?
Chante picked up a red magic stone bullet from Tacket's hand and handed it to Marie. Marie places a cup of tea in front of Chante and receives the magic stone instead. She stared at the surface of the magic stone as she rolled it with her palm. Obviously, the eyes are reading letters.
Marie-san did. I'm the Grantor. "
"Grantor?
The tacket replied to words that could not be heard.
"Magic Stones can only contain the power of spirits. The letters written around here are called spiritual letters. So you can do all kinds of things by writing instructions. And the one who gives orders to the Magic Stone with the Spirit Letter, the Grantor."
"Heh...."
The writing around this magic stone is so complicated that it can't be written by anyone. Certainly, thanks to that magic stone that Karon forced me to drink, the official language letters can be read. However, the words on this bullet didn't make sense at all.
The Magic Stone is back from Marie, who seems to have deciphered the Spirit Letter.
"I see. This magic stone is written about the Spirit of Fire."
Does that mean that if you can change the characters written here, you can take in other spirits and use them as bullets? With that in mind, it seemed that Marie had been told the same thing on her face, and she smiled softly.
"Shall I have my acquaintance the Magic Stone Shop process the stone to create a Magic Stone bullet that can capture other spirits?
The words rejoice in the face of the bait.
"Really!? Wow... please!
It was something I didn't wish for. If you can use all kinds of spirits, when it's time to go.
the width of the means used is widened. Plus, if you have a lot of magic stones for Spirit Guns, you can even practice guns.
Honestly, there was a lot of reflection on that Phoenix thing. If I had fired a gun right away, I could have suppressed the poachers sooner. I kept asking myself if I'd ever put the chicks in danger.
I couldn't shoot because I wasn't confident in my arm. I was too worried about what to do if the effect was too strong to wipe out the opponent, what to do if the focus shifted and hit the chicks... and I didn't pull the trigger. Next time, I want to practice the Spirit Gun so that I can stand around better.
If you have a lot of bullets and you're happy to be able to do it, Brigitta throws a cold gaze at you.
It's coming out.
"Taketo, you don't think you're just going to get it, do you?
Eh... and the tacket clogs the words. I don't think about the money at all.
Oops.
"... is magic stone expensive...?
(What should I do? I don't have any money in the first place. I took care of Chante's food and bed, and I got Karon's old clothes, so I've managed without any money until now. I wonder if I can get paid...)
Marie laughed slowly to dispel the anxiety of the tacket.
"I've never made a bullet for a Spirit Gun, so I'll give it to you for free as a prototype first. If you like it, please order it next."
Of course it is. And the tacket nods. Even though it's a prototype, I really appreciate receiving it for free.
"Taketo, you can't give Marie-san money to order. Marie's husband is a great man, and he loves Marie so much. If you piss your husband off, he won't be able to stay in this royal palace ~"
Chante is threatening me as I eat a replacement pie.
"Marie's husband is the current Knights of the Kintetsu." Well, I guess one of the talented people who drives this country. "
And this is Brigitta. Marie blushed her face at Chante's words saying, "I love you so much."
Yeah. Taketo decided to make sure he and his husband weren't angry.
At that time, I thought the van and the door were open, and the commander snapped his shoes into the room. A round piece of paper is held in his hand. The commander stopped in front of the tackles, pointing at the paper he was holding.
"It's work. A beast was found in Philippine harbor town. When the vigilante picked up those unauthorized businessmen, there was an illegal magic beast among their merchandise, and we had a request. I want you to get to the investigation right away."
"What beast?
In response to Chante's question, the commander unwrapped the scroll and placed the painting in front of Chante.
It depicted a squirrel-shaped animal with a fluffy tail. But the obvious difference with squirrels is that something like a stone is stuck to their head.
"Probably a carbuncle."
It's the beginning of a new project.
