In a Different World with a Smartphone

# 462 Consultation, and Tavern.

"So, what are you talking about?

"Yeah, no, sort of. In the meantime, welcome back. Well, swallow and swallow."

"... have you eaten anything weird?

Unlike usual, be alert to the mysterious Ende.

We haven't been face-to-face in a long time in a tavern next to the Adventurer's Guild.

Back from my honeymoon, I've been busy doing a lot of the work I've been accumulating over the past few days. It's a call from this guy when he thinks he finally has the time to put it together. Careful even though you're newlywed.

Well, I've been trying to figure out if it's important for guys to hang out with each other, but Ende, who I haven't seen in a long time, is acting suspicious, and my troublesome sensors are reacting with the bin.

"How about getting married? How's it going?

"... have you really eaten anything bad?

It's weird that this guy cares about other people's homes. I'm getting a little worried. Did Takeru's uncle beat you up too much and make you crazy?

I started to roar about how weird I looked, Ende mumbled.

"Marriage can take many forms in other worlds. It's a ritual to decide who to partner with in life, it's simply a contract to get kids, it's a decision in religion, there's all kinds of patterns."

"Ha...?

"Few of us' crossers' basically choose what is called marriage because of its ethnic characteristics. If not of the same race, it means the 'end' of the journey. Because those who are bound by one world and no longer cross are no longer 'crossers'. Well, we're a long-lived species, so if the target is a short-lived species, some people" cross "it again after dropping off their partners."

"? What are you trying to say after all?

It's hard to get around. Tell me the gist.

Ende, uh... took his gaze off me and drank the iced liquor in front of him all at once.

"Bokmokeckon sulkotonina rimacita"

"Heh......... ugh! Ha!?

I almost dropped the glass I had in Ende's words. Marriage!? Ende!? Oh no, this guy was getting it first when he was bouquetos at our wedding... Are you kidding me? The power of Sister Hana?

"Hey, hey, wait. The other guy, of course, Mel... right?

"You bet. I didn't even get my hands on it like I did on a winter night."

Whoa, I'm disgusted, damn it. Or is this the guy who got married? I can't imagine at all. But what again......

"Mel was interested in seeing your wedding. Because there is no such thing as marriage in Frase's culture..."

"Wait a minute, no. How does Frase... breed or something?

For once, the dominant species had male and female shapes. I don't think that makes any sense.

"You can't have advanced, intermediate, or inferior species, but dominant species can usually have children of both sexes."

"Can you even make it?

"Because Fraze can produce children alone. Well, even a child doesn't mean he looks like a human child."

When asked in detail, first all the frays are born in a nuclear state. They say that repeats crystalline evolution and grows as one life form. Therefore, by the time I woke up, I had already finished growing up as an individual, and there was no such thing as a small childhood.

Growing Frase can create a new nucleus by instilling all its vitality. You think the more vitality this has, the more nuclei it produces? Does that mean that if parents get younger and pay for that life, that's all they'll have a lot of frays......?

"The dominant species are slightly different and can produce the next generation of nuclei by themselves without having to instill all their vitality. But if you say so, it's a degraded replication of the parents. I don't really like the dominant species."

"That means, you know, you and I are gonna have kids, right? Uh, that ~... is it made in the same way as humans?

I choose what to say and ask Ende. [M] No, you're interested...

"Ma, I guess it's pretty much the same. You merge the nuclei created by the two parents. Even in the case of humans, wouldn't it?

Fusion... no well, it's not coming off... is it? Humans are also born by inheriting their parents' genes.

"Frase doesn't have the concept of marriage. If you want to have kids, you just get the nucleus of the person you like, and you don't live with them or lean on them all the time. Sometimes there are individuals like that, but they're really rare. I can't believe I don't know the other parent, mostly just one parent. So even if we're brothers and sisters, we're mostly half-brothers, half-brothers."

How so-so dry...... If it is indeed such an ecology, isn't it strange to be interested in the act of marriage? Mels has a strong interest in eating and stuff.

"You know what it means to be married, don't you?

"I explained it for once. That those who like each other will raise their children together, support each other and live together."

Well, that's not all in detail, but it fits more or less...? Only one view of marriage, though. There are also political marriages.

"I mean, I can't be a kid between Mel and you...?

"Mel originally crossed the world to live in the same world as me, and he's been evolving. Its body is no longer a fraze, not a fraze. It has evolved and existed as a new species close to me. There's no problem there. It's just..."

Ende watches the universe with more and more eyes. Oh, my God, what happened? I'm afraid to ask.

"It's not just Mel... Say Nay and Lise are getting married too..."

"Ha!?

What the hell! Hey you, you just dis me!? You're one of a kind, though! You harem bastard!

When I bit him, he waved at me like Ende had crushed a bitter bug, no.

"Not with me. Mel and what the hell. We both want to marry Mel."

"............... Howatts?

Weird words came up unexpectedly.... with Doyuko?

"It means Mel wasn't the only one interested in getting married. And I'm not the one those two want to marry, Mel."

Uh, that? I thought it was Ende Harlem, but it's Mel Harlem? Mr. Mel, it's hot. Yan......

"Yeah, but we're both female bodies...?

"Is that it? Even female bodies can have children with the dominant species of Frase. I don't do much because my gender will always be the same as my parents', and my parents' characteristics will be harder to inherit."

That's what... So there's no problem...? No, I don't think you can marry me if you love each other, even if it's the same sex. There are actually people like that in this world.

This world is allowed to be polygamous. At the same time, polygamy is permitted once and for all if the means are sufficient to provide for the spouse. The Duchess of this country asks if she has three husbands.

Unfortunately, I haven't heard of the example of a man and a woman married to either of them yet, but I guess I'll just have to look for them.

"What about Mel?

"If I didn't like it, they'd both like to get married and live together with the four of us forever. But if you really don't like it, give it up."

Is Mel willing to accept...... What about this pattern? At least I think Mel will be happy though. In her case, marriage may only be in brackets called 'Becoming a Family'.

I'm sure her affection is directed towards Ende...... If it's nothing, don't even feel like you don't have to get married or anything, if you just keep on in your current state.

"Does Ende hate being family with those two?

"Hmmm... I don't hate it. Lise and I have traveled all sorts of worlds, and Nay and I have become familiar as we live together. Well, it's still tight against Mel..."

Ende replies bitterly. I guess.

Probably out of confrontation with Ende that Nay said he was getting married. Lise saw it just getting on with it.

"That means you're willing to accept the two of us, too, right?

"Yeah. I'm worried about what happens, but luckily we have a good sample nearby. Why don't you give him a proper Else on a winter night? That kid wouldn't even say that out of himself, but he's gonna get attitude, so you know right away, right?

Wait, why am I preaching? You're Else's brother! Oh, no, he's definitely my brother!

"A lot of things before marriage. I was made a sandbag of dissatisfaction with you. Why did you have to beat me up instead of winter night?

"Soleha Thai Henmo Siwa Kenaku"

I didn't know you were relieving that kind of stress. Sure, Else is the easy type to get on my face, and that's when I was going to follow her well, but she wasn't good enough.

Right, as a position, will Ende be in the same position as Else? As one of my family around me and Mel.

"So, what is it? When we got married, they said they wanted to have the same ceremony as you did. Specifically, he wants us to serve the same dishes."

"Uh..."

I see, is that what you mean?

Having learned the culture of 'food', Mel finds great joy in eating. Is it natural for them to stick there at the wedding?

The three of them eat well anyway. Eat more clearly than octave. That's three of them. Ende's financial burden seems considerable.

The Mels seem to be doing a lot of part-time things to help, but Ende is a silver-ranked adventurer for once. I guess Ende would be better off making money.

"Well, I don't mind arranging the food, but I don't think the bride and groom would normally eat it at the ceremony... What's the main thing about eating food?

"Yeah...... Honestly, I'd like to have dinner at the reception, but I'm also a little suspicious that you mentioned marriage for..."

"No. It's a conclusion after a good thought. You're rude to both of us, Endemion. And to me, of course."

Turning to his sudden voice, behind us stood Mel, unhappy with his hands on his hips. When......

As beautiful as ever, two eyes with the same color as beautiful ice blue hair now look to Ende in the face of a grumpy light.

"Meh, Mel!? Why are you here!?

"I'm here to pick you up. Are we done talking?

"Uh, well. Oh, he said winter and night would arrange the ceremony."

When Ende answers the other way, Mel turns away from her earlier expression and smiles like a flower dull.

"Good! Thank you, Mr. Winter Night! Oh, a little more for meat and dessert, please."

"Ah, yes. When I say…"

Definitely not 'a little' enough, I'm sure. There will be fewer invitees compared to our time, but these brides (?) You should prepare quite a bit more when it comes to eating. Maybe we should get Lou to think about cooking a system that doesn't pollute his wedding dress......

"Then we're in this. I will send the invitation to the ceremony at a later date. Let's go, Endemion."

"Oh, yeah. Sorry, winter night. I'm in a hurry. I'll ask you out again."

"Ah, oh. Okay."

Ende took him to Mel so that he could be pulled...... he and Mel took him out of the tavern. Sigh one sigh in front of Ende's leftover liquor and dishes.

Ende's not getting married...... This was unexpected.

I really don't suppose Flower Love Sister used the power of Love God, do you?

Um, do you know anyone who took a bouquet at our wedding, Ende and the Boy King of Paloof, Will who joined the Knights Belfast Knights in the Rants of the Knights "Home, and Prince Pumpkin Pants Robel or something?

I know you used your powers to almost cross to the other side of both thoughts. Boy King and Robert are already engaged, and I wonder if they were just trying to be.

"Is that it? It's winter night. Are you swallowing it all by yourself? He's lonely."

"You know..."

Turning to the familiar voice that flew over my back, I stood on the spot, the red-haired twin-tailed girl and the red little golem that followed it.

He is the leader, Nia, and his golem of the "Red Cat" Akaneko "of the Bandits (closed), the red" Crown "Rouge.

Behind it began Mr. Est, the deputy chief, and nearby Uni and Yuri, the old men of "Red Cat", were about to come into the tavern. Everyone's clothes were dirty everywhere, and they made abrasions everywhere, but the expression was clear.

"Master! Serve me premium liquor and dragon meat dishes for the number of people! It's a banquet tonight!

"What the hell, that's a lot of good feathering. Was it some kind of extraordinary income?

The meat of the dragon is traded for a considerable amount due to its rarity. Naturally, the food that deals with it is also expensive. But this tavern is the direct store of the Adventurer Guild next door, so it's much cheaper to eat than any other store.

But even if it's cheap, I still do a lot of money. That's a lot of people.

"I found a treasure on Dungeon Island. Two treasure chests still untouched. There were a variety of magic stones and jewels inside. You're making a lot of money!

Ponite, my daughter, Uni, taught me with a hock-face. That's amazing.

The treasure on Dungeon Island is mostly the legacy of the wizard who made it there, but it can also be the possession of the adventurers who entered the dungeon for it and died in return.

Take back the possessions of the adventurers killed by the Dungeon Demons and keep them in crates. Some demons can be divided into items that do not sparkle on several scales, or divided by weapons or protective equipment.

So sometimes you find unexpected things like ancient demon swords and enchanted items, but demon stones and gems are a big win.

"Sounds like Adventurer Inauguration is all on the board."

"Say stupid. Our main business is the Bandits. They say this is just a way to make money. If you hear about bad merchants, bad deputies, and rotten nobles somewhere, I'll take your roots from them."

That's what Nia laughs at. Yeah, I don't care how you react as king of a country.

I got a promise in Brunhild that I wouldn't work for the Bandits, but as soon as I hear those guys babbling in other countries, I'm going to jump out.

and capture the new shadow that has entered the liquor store in the corner of his vision.

"Is that it? There's Nia and the others. Oh, and there's Yan. What, is this a party?

"Gi."

Coming in through the entrance to the tavern was a girl wearing glasses and a purple frill dress. Standing beside it is a small purple golem, similar to Rouge.

It is Luna Trieste and the purple 'crown', Fanatic Viola, once called 'Lady of Frenzy'.

"Chi, purple. What the hell are you doing here? Go home. Go home."

"Terrible. I'm late today, so I'm here for dinner. Because this place is cheap and the alcohol is delicious."

Nia looks at Luna and glances at her face. She pays her hand to get rid of the dog. In contrast, Luna lowered her back to the seat across from me where Ende was sitting without even noticing. Viola also takes the seat next to it.... Hey, why are you coming to me?

"I don't know why this guy's been left alone in the wild. Hey, winter night, it's not too late for this guy to go down to the dungeon."

"Luna was properly punished. It was like a basket reward called punishment. Uh-huh."

"Disgusting"

Nia is seriously donning against Luna, who smiles of joy as she remembers something. You know how that feels.

"Luna smiled at the kids and lived to be sincerely appreciated. I can't live without it anymore. Thanks to the weekly holidays are hard and hard..."

"Lie to me..."

Nia turns her heartfelt frigid eyes to Luna, who speaks with sparkling eyes. No, I'm telling you this for real. Probably.

I cursed them so that they would appreciate it. [M] I can't do it because it also seals things up like killing people, and I can't say it's harmless... but it's still in a better condition. Viola also lost her ability to "crown" Chichi.

"And Yan, are you swallowing by yourself? Was that, uh, castle" We "kicked out? Can't you read the divorce seconds?

"No, no!

This is our new wedding. Don't tell me you're not even on edge!

"Ha ha, you did something to piss off your wives, didn't you? You said you peeked at the maid's change of clothes. This guy, come on before..."

"Hey, wait! I'm not gonna tell you that. You promised!

I panic to stop Nia from trying to talk it out. Though I did jump in [Teleport] once while you were dressing!

If the old men around you find out about that, they'll definitely be our leader, the boss! 'You must be jumping at me.

Goddamn it! Can you stay here any longer! I'm leaving!

Ask the master of the tavern to make an account.

That, high...? Ah, Ende! Don't pay him, he's gone home! Damn, I'm hit. What a day, not at all.
