It's all one flower.

2047. Waiting at the café

At the root of a street tree hardened with mortar, a sparrow spreads its wings and lies down. The light of the half-closed eyes is weak and the breathing is rough.

"I'm going out for a minute. You'll have breakfast and information at the store first."

“Roger that. What do we do with the order?”

"Take my share of the same as yours. I'll be right back."

Second Lieutenant Razzutchik took out a number of plastic bags from his work clothes pocket and picked up the sparrows instead of the gloves. I leapt without telling the demonic soldier Luvel where I was going.

Dressed as an exterminator, Luvel entered the cafe designated by the Ensign.

In the city of Album, in the western part of the Aatel Republic, the number of stores in operation has decreased.

Because the roads are frequently blocked due to the outbreak of a large number of demonic beasts such as earthfish and the accompanying extermination operation of the army. Employees are unable to attend work due to disruption of the transportation network and school suspension measures. There are many stores that cannot be opened because there is no arrival when I can go to work.

Retail stores that barely operate are subject to purchase restrictions, such as a one-piece per household. The situation was much worse than in the eastern city of Ignicans.

On weekdays, it's halfway through the morning, but the cafe on the ground floor of the business hotel has a glimpse of guests.

When Luvel told him that he would be brought later, the conductor went to the window seat.

On the next table, the three men and women order a morning set and an additional dish. A young man in working clothes confirmed in the common language to a middle-aged man and told the hall attendant in Hunanese. A girl who looks like a beast exterminator can be ordered in Hunanese.

Rubel pretended to look out and observed the passage side seat on the windowpane.

Young men and women in working clothes sit next to each other, while middle-aged men sit across from each other. There was a large luggage sitting in a chair next to a common language middle-aged man, and a single-lens reflex camera with a large lens on the tabletop.

... two reporters from Barbatum. That's an interpreter and an escort.

A middle-aged man, who is considered a reporter, asks a series of exciting questions about magic.

Apparently, I had just witnessed them defeating the demon beast and was treated with a cursed song.

The youth answered in a beautiful common language as per the textbook, and occasionally checked with the girl in Hunanese.

... heh? I think I've heard this voice somewhere?

I don't recognize the face of a young man at all.

I couldn't remember when and where I heard a similar voice.

I noticed it in the interview, but it looks like there are a lot of Barbatum soldiers who have been mentally attacked.

Are you okay?

"I always telephoto from a safe place, and the interviews are before and after the operation." It's the first time I've approached a demon beast like that, but I'm fine because you guys protected me. Thank you. "

Thank you very much for your willingness to sign with me.

Ripper Luber took the tablet out of his work clothes pocket and wrote down the message to Lieutenant Razzutchik in bullet points.

"Is Quaesetul the first time that you have come to the Republic of Artel...... Hunan Region, Lake Lacus and surrounding areas?"

"It's my first time, and I didn't really know anything." In the Hubei region, the land of Murtiflora is listed in the sacred scriptures, so I have examined it. "

You're familiar with the Kingdom of Murtiflora, aren't you?

"No, I gave up because there were few materials in common language." I can't find anyone who can translate from Hubei to common language. "

Common language information about the area around Lacus Lake is said to be the equivalent of international news texts, official websites of embassies, and SNS.

However, many of the countries in the Kyrgyz cultural sphere have no ties with purely magical civilization. Most of the countries that defined the national religion as Kirkuk had no diplomatic relations with either country, and many governments did not allow the entry of wizards or persons with magical power.

What about the Barbatum Federation?

“With the United Nations headquarters in Sandrae City, we have offices in UN member states, and we can't deny entry to wizards. For the time being, the Constitution makes freedom of belief a fundamental human right, and formally recognizes all faiths."

In fact, isn't that the case?

"Ah. There are no embassies in countries with many wizards, and even in countries with embassies, the procedures for immigration and obtaining visas (visas) from the Magic Civilization Zone are so cumbersome that you rarely see wizards."

Luvel recalled information from SNS and the Traveller in Search of the Truth site.

In the Barbatum Federation, discrimination against wizards is a social problem that can lead to suicides and missing persons.

Isn't there a monster or a demon beast in Barbatum?

"There are, but mostly in the remote mountains and woods, in the wilderness, weakened and fewer than Artel's demon beasts, so the damage is rarely done."

The youth translated an exchange with a reporter into Hunanese.

A girl utters one or two words, and a young man translates them into a common language.

“I think some of the missing people were swallowed up by monsters and beasts and left nothing behind,” she said. I can't see a monster with half an eye, so I don't think I'll know if I'm in the city. "

When the youth explained the differences between monsters and demon beasts, spiritual vision and semi-visual vision, the reporter gnawed while twisting his face and asked for more detailed information.

When the food arrives, the three of them continue to exchange information while eating.

The doorbell rang and Rubell turned to the café door.

Ensign Razzuttik and the man holding the camera on his shoulder and holding his left leg with a handkerchief. Both of them arrived at the Luber table.

A hallkeeper places a morning set in front of two people in work clothes and asks a man with a camera to place an order in Hunanese. When the second lieutenant translated the common language, the man pointed at the menu photo with a happy face.

The Morning Set consists of a piece of bread with a large fist and a baked egg.

"Is this the only breakfast?" We've heard reports of a serious shortage of supplies in the provinces, but we can't believe it. Let's add it. ”

You should take care of the bite from the earthen fish first.

When the second lieutenant spoke in common language, the two men at the next table turned towards us.

The young man next door speaks in a common language.

If you don't mind using magic, I'll treat you with 2 servings of preserved food for 3 days.

I also had him magically heal my broken nails.

The second lieutenant's companion closed his eyes in agony, but as he exhaled, he responded with blue eyes.

"Thank you, you've already been saved by magic." It's pointless to refuse now. "

... eh? What the hell is that?

Rebel was silent and looked at the wounded man's story.
