Takeshi. Those who saw Ray and Seto shrugged.
Naturally. We had a mock fight against a lot of people on stage not long ago.
If you tried to be very excited to see that mock fight, you wouldn't have thought you'd see Ray in a place like this.
But Ray and Seto, who are so gazed at, head to a stall that was nearby without looking like they cared at all.
What we sell in that stall is a very simple and common dish called skewering.
Most of all, because it is a common dish, various ideas are devised on how to prepare, season, treat under the meat, and cut it.
Because it's a popular dish, it will probably sell a lot and be described as commonplace.
Either way, Ray pays the shopkeeper, intrigued by Seto's presence, for a freshly baked skewer.
As such, he carries the skewer to his mouth, not caring at all about how he is gathering his gaze from his surroundings.
"Gru!"
All the rays are sloppy! and to a throat-soaking ceto, Ray offers Ceto a skewer that he was gripping with a grin.
Seto cleverly takes and eats the meat that is stung in its skewer.
The addition, subtraction and flavouring of meat would have been satisfactory enough for Seto as well. Seto sounds happy.
The stall owner was smiling happily at such a seto chirping.
Judging by how Seto was doing, I guess he decided he was saying his cooked skewers were delicious.
So much joy as I could understand, was in Seto's squeal.
The stall owner smiled unexpectedly at the sounds of Seto... If he realized that Ray and Seto had already disappeared from the front of the stall, and that others who watched Ray and Seto around him would be exasperated in dealing with the large number of guests who lined up to eat the skewer that Seto was happily ringing about.
Meanwhile, Ray, who sees a guest arriving at a skewer, only gives him a little shrug.
Because that's exactly what I thought Leodanis said, that a lot of people were going to talk to me.
But the person I've actually talked to is not here at the moment.
(Ah)
That's what I thought, Ray, but I clearly saw the man approaching me, squealing small in my heart.
Most of all, the other guy was just a guy I knew, and it wasn't going to be like Leo Dannis was worried about.
"Hey, Ray. It was a mock fight."
He smiles happily, and Bluitt speaks to Ray so.
When I was watching the simulation, I was dressed properly and nobly, minding the place, but now I'm dressed like an ordinary person like I used to when I met Ray.
Many of those around them look at such a bluish voice to Ray with surprise.
Some of them were pointing their jealous gaze at why you were speaking first... but neither did Ray, Seto, or Bruit seem to care at all about one of them.
"You've changed your clothes a lot in this short period of time.... That said, I wasn't there when I was called to the aristocratic seat."
"Oh, I don't really like places like that."
"I know."
I agree with the smudge and bluish words Ray, but even if it's the same thing you don't like about a place like that, it's very different with Ray and Bluish in terms of how well you can interact on the spot.
"Oh? I knew Ray could tell. Yeah, what's so tough about it, what's so funny? The nobles used it to flatter each other, and there was one conversation in their bellies... if it was cooking, I saw it coming, but there was no such thing."
"Hmm? For once, there were a couple of people eating sandwiches or something like that?
"Snacks like that, they come out pretty good, but you definitely don't have enough sandwiches,"
"... I don't deny that"
Bruit is in the shape he deserves to call himself a giant, and Ray ate big, albeit small stature. If you're in Seto, that's what you don't have to think about.
If it's to be a sandwich-like snack that fills two and one belly well enough, how much the hell do you have to bring?
That is why the materials prepared for this simulation will soon be gone.
"For that reason, I had to disperse from the place and eat a lot like this.... you want some?
That's what Bluitt has given Ray, a sandwich made of fist-sized bread.
There is dried meat and cheese inside, which stimulates my appetite to see.
(But if you put a hamburger in this, you're going to be a hamburger. I have onions, tomatoes, and vegetables close to lettuce.... Oh, was this what bagel sandwiches looked like?
I didn't immediately think of the word bagel sandwich because I had never had a bagel sandwich in the first place.
The bakery that comes to the school Ray went to didn't sell bagel sandwiches, or even places like supermarkets and convenience stores.
No, I may have sold it exactly, but I never saw Ray at least, and I never bought him.
That's why all Ray knows is a bagel sandwich that came out with things like comics and novels.
I remember that was just the same shape as the bread Bruit had.
"Are you sure?
"Oh, thanks to you, I made some money."
"... you were betting too"
Ray, who understands what Bruit did with the word he made money, turns a slightly dazed mixed glance.
Most importantly, I would have said that if I had known that Bluitt had been turned to Ray for imitations such as betting white gold coins on his wins, I wouldn't have meant it.
Fortunately, Ray didn't say anything about the matter and remained gazing at him, but he receives a sandwich, gives half to Ceto and eats the other half himself.
If you carry it to your mouth that way, you'll be a little surprised by the crisp texture.
I don't know how I made this bread, but the texture that resembled a croissant was in Ray's mouth.
I just thought it was a perfectly firm, more edible bread, and in a good way, Ray's predictions fell off.
"Heh, this was... kinda unexpected. And delicious."
"Right? I was a little surprised when I had my first bite, too."
"Which stall?
"That's a stall a little where we went from here. I've been selling a lot of other bread, so why don't you go buy it if you care?
That's what Ray said, even if he tries to get to that bakery soon...
"Gru!"
Seto, with the hem of the dragon robe cuddled, squeaks his throat.
Do what? and ray pointing a bewildered gaze at Ceto for a moment, but I generally understood what Ceto wanted to say if Ceto looked at another stall as he throated again.
I mean, there's a lot of stalls around the corner, so I'm trying to stop by the other stores. I guess that's what you're trying to say.
"Um, I know what you're trying to say. I know, but... with this much delicious bread, if you take your time, you're likely to sell out, right? Is that okay with you?
"Grrrrrr?...... Grrrrrr"
To Ray's words, Seto sees the stall on the street with a little thought.
Soups, skewers, simmers, stir-fries… Other than that, there are even shops selling dishes with stir-fried nuts or meat that hasn't been cooked yet.
If you ask me if I'm going through a store like that to a store that sells bread...... as Ray, I have to think about it a little bit.
There is no way to buy food at other stalls after buying it at a store selling bread.
But Ray and Seto... and two and one, Bluit, are collecting their surrounding gaze.
That's as if that gaze would follow if the Rays moved... like that.
If those rays come and go around here, it can be a lot of annoyance to ordinary passers-by.
Judging so, Ray eventually decides to follow the advice from Seto.
"You're surprisingly weak, you"
Looking at Ray, who gave in lightly to Seto's favor, Bruit tells him slightly unexpectedly.
Is Ray against such a blue-it? and tilted his neck.
In fact, as far as I recall the current exchange, is that what's happening? I didn't think so... but that's why I thought it wasn't so strange.
"In the meantime, I wanted to buy a lot of things. And... just because I'm with someone as prominent as you, I'm going to gather a lot of gaze, so mind your own business around here."
"Really? I stand out. Ha ha."
Ray heads to the soup shop that was nearby for now, watching the deliberate laughter of Bluit.
Though it's not snowing today, it's only winter and it's cold enough.
So, there were about five people in front of the stall, but they were queued.
He decided to act with Ray and Seto, and still Ray, and Bluitt lines up in that queue with a lot of people.
"Huh?"
You didn't think that all that conspicuous group would line up behind you, the man at the end of the line shouts a surprise.
Isn't it possible that a man who was so surprised should give up the line to the Rays? I didn't think so, but this row is moving fast.
Naturally. They just put soup in the bowl and exchange it for a fee.
It is priced slightly higher for street food, but that is only a price that includes dishes.
If you return the plates and spoons after you finish eating, the corresponding price will come back and be as good as the rest of the stalls.
Of course, using the method of preparing some kind of dish for yourself would make it so cheap… There is no way that anyone would bring dishes for drinking soup to this festival.
However, in the case of Ray, who has mysteries, the dishes are usually in there.
That's why Ray doesn't even bother here to imitate things like taking out a separate dish.
Because dishes have to be washed if you use them.
In other words, if you use your own dishes here, you need to wash them as you should.
If you are going to take such care of yourself, it is quicker to use dishes that are normally used in stalls.
That's why the line goes, and eventually it's the Rays' turn.
"Three soups"
"Aye. It's a pleasure to have today's hero eat our soup."
Eat? And I doubt the words that came out of the store owner's mouth for a moment, but if I actually look at the vessel that was given to me, I'm also convinced of the expression.
Soup with lots of utensils is not that uncommon... because the soup I was given was obviously more utensils than regular soup.
To vegetables similar to potatoes, radishes and carrots, beans, and meat...... the first impression Ray felt when he saw that soup was pork juice? That was the thing.
As a miso soup with a lot of utensils, it would also affect that Ray's most impressive was the pork juice.
It was actually a soup that was a little impossible to call pork juice because it was pork meat or gut in the soup, and the flavoring wasn't miso as it should be... Still, the soup I was given was delicious, no doubt.
"Gru!"
Seto delightfully drinks and eats the soup placed on the ground.
Ray and Bluitt taste the soup as well beside it, but Bluitt inadvertently turns his gaze to Ray and opens his mouth.
"Do you mind if I take care of it? I'm not in trouble for the money either, so I'll pay for it myself, okay?
"Nothing, this much. I made money in today's mock fight, and you just got a sandwich from Bruit. Just think of it as payback."
"If that's what you're saying, don't hesitate."
Taste the soup without saying anything more about Bluit in Ray's words.
The soup, which has a rich pig flavour dissolved in the soup and is quite fatty, deserves to be eaten in order to warm up the body.
Tasting the soup that way...... inadvertently, Ray stops that movement.
At the same time Seto also looks up from a plate of soup and looks around.
"Hey, what's up? Is something wrong?
Bluitt didn't even know why Ray and Seto suddenly acted like that.
But he decides that there was probably some reason why he should have done so, more than imitating it like that for no reason, Bruit asks.
"... no, it's nothing. I heard someone was looking at me."
What you're looking at in this case isn't just looking at the Rays in an interesting way, obviously it means something else.
To Ray's words, Bluitt looked around carefully.
