Legend

Walking around the city of Anesis, you will eventually see the store you are looking for.

Miranda said, a store selling baked sweets made with plenty of honey, nuts and dried fruit.

If I try to ray a similar bread before in the labyrinth city of Exil, I even wonder if that is confectionery bread, not baked confectionery.

But I thought I'd say something from before I actually tried it, so I'll keep that thought in my mind.

... Note that Leo Danis, who initially suggested that we go to the weapons store, was following Ray closely, although he seemed slightly dissatisfied with his actions.

Try Leodanis, who doesn't like sweets that much, and he probably wasn't very interested in baked confectionery.

Still, we followed Leo Dannis because of Ray's... strong surveillance implications for Ray's odd imitation, precisely because of Seto's presence to keep the whole city from getting confused.

What such a row saw was a queue of about twenty people lined up in front of one store.

Fortunately, the snow momentum isn't that strong today, to the point where it's a glitch.

But still, there's enough cold.

Ray didn't have to worry about the area because he was wearing a dragon robe, but Miranda was wearing thick clothes from the top of her maid's clothes, and Leo Daniss was wearing a coat for the winter.

If you see all this lined up in there, it would be natural for Ray to be surprised.

"Oh, you don't have a lot of queues today. Maybe it's snowing."

Next to Ray, who is surprised, Miranda squeaks happily.

Er... and it was Leodanis who tried to say something slightly dissatisfied with Miranda's words like that, but decided that it would be all kinds of unsavory to say something in this situation, wisely speaking.

"Do you usually line up more?

"Yeah. This store opened since the end of autumn, but you've been thriving. Sweet stuff is strong, so it might be natural."

"... I know that, but isn't it natural that sweet things are expensive? It's a little strange that there's a lot of honey around here."

If this is a guild, then it's not surprising that you can get a lot of honey, as there are a variety of monsters around and some are bee-based.

But this is Anesis.

Since it is not a border, it is not possible to collect a large quantity of honey nearby as a matter of course.

(If possible, the second city of the Kingdom of Mireana has a contract with a specialist supplier that brings honey.... Is there beekeeping in this world?

If you are a Tamer or a user of summoning magic, you may be able to beekeeping a monster of bees as an obedient demon.

But I unfortunately didn't know if beekeeping like Ray knew was happening in this world.

Most importantly, none of Ray's acquaintances were beekeeping, so that's what Ray knows, mainly the knowledge he gained from TV and comics.

(Tin bees try to feed on bees, but bees flock to such tin bees to suffocate to death...... was it?

It was such content that I remembered with the word beekeeping for some reason.

If I was directly familiar with beekeeping, I would have thought more about the exact form of the nest box and how I could collect honey so as not to break the nest.

Either way, the Rays stay in line.

Given the Duke of Kelp's position as a guest, you wouldn't have to line up to buy baked confectionery... because imitating it like that in a place like this would have been very troublesome sooner or later.

Especially given the woman's obsession with sweetness, you can never imitate that.

That's why I lined up at the end of the line very manly... naturally, none of us had seen Griffon up close, and naturally there were those out there who were afraid of its existence.

Still, what was unexpected to Ray was that those who were making noise as soon as Leodanis said Seto was safe settled.

Most importantly, it wasn't because Leodanis had that much influence, but because he affirmed that he belonged to the Knights of the Dukes of Kelp.

It would also definitely have affected Miranda, who was grinning and stroking Seto so as to calm those around him.

Seto also understood that he would be scared in strange places, so he was careful not to scare those around him, and cautioned against winds such as making loud moves or making loud noises.

With those two and one effort, neither did those who were lined up in front of the Rays nor those who were lined up behind the Rays imitate that they were extremely afraid of Seto.

On the contrary, some of the curious were afraid, but there are even those who are reaching for Seto and stroking him.

If one of them strokes him, he will no longer imitate that the others are afraid.

When the first to stroke Seto gave him a happy grin, the others who watched it also began to stroke Seto.

With all the exceptions, it's the woman's sex that likes sweet things, but at the same time it's the woman's sex that likes cute things.

As a result, Seto is accepted by the women who lined up in front of the store at once.

Leodanis turns a stark look of surprise at this sight, and Miranda smiles and nods naturally.

Ray is also not particularly uncomfortable with such a sight.

Because I have seen many times before the sight of Seto being gradually accepted, who had been scared from the beginning.

Given Seto's adorability, I guess adorability outweighs fear.

(If you've exceeded three meters in length compared to before, but you keep your head down and squeal with circular eyes upwards in such a situation... normally, you'd be hit by that adorability. I'm glad no other Griffon did this trick, should I say?... you won't, will you?

Huh, I was wondering what I would have done if such a seto trick had also done a normal griffon, but I think back to thinking that Griffon, known as Reaper in the Great Sky, would not have done that.

In doing so, the queue gradually progresses… eventually, in the order of the Rays.

"There you are. I'm full of stuff in the store right now, so I can only take it home, okay?

That said, he was an unexpectedly thirties man for Ray.

That, too, is not very much, but I don't have the image of a confectioner, a muscular big man.

He is also definitely over two meters tall and has a firm muscle on his body.

That's the kind of muscle that you deserve to describe as like a pigeon.

Er... that was Ray's honest feeling when he saw the guy.

Because it was the exact opposite race to the kind of image that I could come up with when I was told I was a confectioner.

But in fact, the shopkeepers don't seem to be scared of such a man... on the contrary, they talk intimately.

"So? You can just take it home, right? For three...... Huh?

I was about to ask if it was okay for the three of us, but I notice there's a ceto on Ray's side.

Until now, I guess I was desperate to take orders from customers and couldn't afford to notice Seto's presence.

Still, it was for a moment that I saw Seto and gave him a surprise look, and the next moment I erase that surprise and open my mouth again.

"Can I have it for four? I'm sorry, but I have a lot of customers, so I let them do it one at a time."

"Ah, yes. So please."

The man nods at Miranda's words and immediately wraps his bread.

That's how they pay the price, and Ray and the others leave the store.

The absence of the Rays meant, naturally, that there would also be no Seto who was acting together, and the women who were lining up behind the Rays to stroke Seto had a slightly unfortunate look on their face.

Most importantly, at the next moment, I could buy the baked sweets I was looking for, so my consciousness was immediately turned to you.

A little further away from the store... while walking, Rays opens the wrapping paper.

That's how he showed up, like, between cookies and bread, such baked treats.

The baked sweets were hung with plenty of honey, as Miranda said, and they smelled sweet all around them.

"Grrrrrrrr! Grrrrrrrr!

The sweet smell must have been exciting for Seto as well.

Let's eat, let's eat! And make a squeal.

To such a ceto, Ray gives one of the wraps.

Then he pokes it small with a couch at first, so he decides if the sweet baked confectionery is delicious, and goes on and on and on.

Ray, who had Ceto's share in his right hand so that Ceto could eat, carries his share in his mouth, which he had in his left hand.

The first crisp texture and honey sweetness spread in the mouth, and eventually nuts and dried fruits condensed into the dough entertain the mouth.

(This, melon bread? No, it's quite different... but unlike melon bread, where the biscuit dough and bread dough parts are separate, this is definitely a baked treat we baked together. No, I know you're baking melon bread with me, but in a different way)

A bread with biscuit fabric on top of it is commonly referred to as melon bread.

That's just a basic melon bread, and as far as Ray knows, it's also made from a really luxurious melon bread with melon juice, starting with a melon bread with chocolate chips.

… Note that melon bread is called melon bread because melon bread juice is used separately.

There is a theory that it draws a line on the biscuit fabric, because it resembles the appearance of a melon.

In fact, it seems that there are several other theories that have become named melon bread, but at least Ray wondered if the theory was correct.

Either way, it was such a melon bread, but what Ray is currently eating is definitely a different food than melon bread.

It was a hard food to explain, but that's only because Ray knew about a food called melon bread.

Miranda, who doesn't know that, is delightfully sweet, and Leodanis, who didn't seem too keen at first, now has that grilled sweet and satisfied look on his face.

In Seto, the wrapper Ray had was already empty due to the fact that his body was large.

"Gru."

Seeing Seto seem sorry that he's already finished eating, Ray gives Seto a baked treat that resembles half the melon bread he ate.

Ray doesn't hate sweet stuff either, but it's bigger that he didn't want to see Seto seem sad than that.

(If I could, I'd buy as much as I can... but I can't even imitate that in all those thriving stores)

I didn't know if it was the store owner or the clerk, but the guy who responded to Ray thought he would say no if he wanted to buy all the merchandise.

If this is a person who is dirty to gold, you can also buy it by putting together merchandise.

But not very much, but the other guy didn't seem like such a character.

Not to mention there was still quite a row behind the Rays.

If the Rays buy out the remaining baked confectionery, they will naturally lose the share of those behind them.

What happens if we look forward to sweetness and imitate it like buying up all its sweetness in front of the women who were lining up even in the snow?

I don't even want to think about that for Ray.

(Yeah, I figured it meant I only bought for the number of people. Okay. If I could, I would have liked two or three more as Seto's share. Besides, if you really want a lot of this, you don't have to buy it here. There's also the means to order it separately later)

I also wonder if I would do that until I purposefully bought hostility from others.

"Yeah, it was delicious. It was delicious... but you're a little brave to be in that line"

Leodanis, finished eating baked confectionery, squeaks.

Ray knows how that feels.

The majority of those in the queue earlier were women, and the number of men was overwhelmingly minority.

A few men, too, don't know if they're lovers, friends, family, but they're not just lined up with men, they're lined up with women.

It was quite courageous to line up on my own, no matter how much Leodanis wanted to eat the baked confectionery again in such a place alone.

Ask a woman who belongs to the Knights or a personal friend who has nothing to do with it to line up with them.

That should have been the best choice Leo Dannis could make right now.
