"Tired..."

That's not what I said Ray...... Vihera.

On such Vihera's side, Anastasia and Fana also nodded to agree with the word tired.

An institution in Gilm where alchemists treat Trento forest trees.

There, Ray brought a tree from the Trento Forest, but by the alchemists who noticed such a remarkable presence of Ray, Ray was filled with dissatisfaction with many alchemists or any unusual magic items.

If I tried it on Ray, it was the usual thing when I got here. So, even though I thought it was a hassle, I didn't actually do anything to mouth it.... of course, I showed it in my attitude.

But that's only a unique story for Ray, three different people: Vihera, Anastasia and Fana.

I've never seen such a sight in my own eyes before and experienced it.

Unlike Ray, who has gotten used to it in a way, it's no surprise that those alchemists overwhelmed him.

"Look, we're going to go to Master Dusker's, so hold on. How much do you think Anastasia, in particular, worried about Master Dusker?

"... Fana okay?

"Of course, you're worried about Fana, but I guess it's the benefactor Anastasia who's worried about Master Dusker. Besides, you went first to the other world because you're Anastasia, right? Fana is wearing a mask, so she doesn't know the look on her face, or something like that."

Yeah, Ray tells me, for some reason, he subtly shows how Fana was shocked.

Maybe I was shocked by something in Ray's words.

(Originally, I guess I was right to be the first to show my face to Master Dusker at times like this... I knew I wasn't wrong to be the first to come this way, given the lack of wood)

For Gilm, who is working on the additions, the lack of wood had become a pretty serious situation.

Usually, if we simply had a lot of people carrying felled trees, that would have solved the problem… The Trent Forest today is also about birth towers and lakes, so that no one can be dispatched so easily.

Among the adventurers, such as those who can be trusted in the Alliance and those who have worked in the Trento Forest for some time.

Only such can be asked.

… In fact, there is a lot of talk about the Trent Forest.

As it is said that no door can be set in a man's mouth, neither will those who work in the forest of Trent bother to speak in primitive conditions, but if it becomes a story of drunkenness in a liquor store or sleeping with a whore in a whorehouse, there will come out some who leak the story.

Nevertheless, Dusker has also given up on the area.

I've stopped talking a lot, and the information will definitely leak.

That is why we are deliberately sending knights and soldiers in this situation to keep the unauthorized away from the Trento Forest.

"Gru!"

and Seto rattles and hurries to get to the Lords' Hall as soon as possible.

I don't know why Seto wants to go to the Lords' Hall so much... that's not because he wants to see Dusker... but if he goes to the Lords' Hall, Seto will play in the courtyard.

And if you play in the courtyard, the people who work in the Lords' Hall will cook for you.

In some cases, cooks may be fed prototype dishes.

That's why Seto enjoys going to the Lords' Hall.

... but that's only Seto's story, and if you try Ray, the conversation with Dusker can be slight but also tense.

Nevertheless, I cannot imitate more hesitantly than I have to go.

"Right. Let's go, then. Master Dusker will be expecting us."

Under the Dusker, as a matter of course, a variety of information comes together.

So it's not surprising that Ray... has obtained information that Anastasia is back, to be exact.

"Right. But... if you can, why don't you buy some fruit water? I'm thirsty."

Anastasia sees a stall a little further from where the alchemists are working and tells them so.

Ray doesn't really feel it because he's wearing a dragon robe, but the current temperature is over thirty degrees... no, it's over thirty-five degrees.

In Japan, it's called a hot day.

Still, summer is easier than in Japan, probably because the humidity is considerably lower than in Japan.

Ray wanted to hurry up as much as he could to see Dusker, but seeing Anastasia scratching her sweat made me think I should drink something.

The same goes for Anastasia, because Fana seemed pretty much more like a limit, because it's huge.

Fana was wearing a mask, which is why she looked extra harsh in this heat.

"Marina was able to use the Spirit of Water magic to block out some heat, but not Anastasia?

"... you know, I can use spiritual magic. I know you have a lot of skill, but that doesn't mean you can do anything."

You want to say that even if you and Marina are the same spiritual wizards, that's all the difference in their skill.

Ray also understood about the neighborhood in the other world, so there's nothing more to go into than that, head to the stall.

In this season, fruit water is often sold in stalls.

But even if you say fruit water in a bite, there is a huge hitting off by the stall.

What do you use for fruit juice, and how many different kinds of fruit juices do you use, and the formula is.

It's really elaborate - that is, it's expensive - and if it's also a stall, it can be otherwise constrained by the shape of a glass that drinks fruit water.

Make it water, make it fruit water... even if it's all tea and alcohol, the taste can change depending on the shape of the place where the cup's mouth is applied.

It's not exactly the taste that changes, it's the aroma, the palate, the throat… It's perceived that the taste changes as a result of such changes.

The stalls that are so elaborate are not people who do stalls as jobs, but rather in deficit-ready hobbies.

Either way, the thing Ray would definitely check before buying in there is whether or not he has a magic item for refrigeration.

It's almost summer, or the end of summer, but it's not very warm fruit water, but it's not something I could drink.

... Though warm fruit water may be better for your body than cold fruit water.

Anyway, I have corner mysteries, so as a ray, I want a lot of cold fruit water.

"There you are. A glass of fruit water is five pieces of copper."

"... that's expensive"

To the words of the stall owner, Anastasia tells him so with a slight frown.

Ordinary fruit water, however expensive, is about three pieces of copper.

In some cases, it is not uncommon for a store to have a single piece of copper coin.

Five pieces of copper coin in that was quite a strong price.

Of course, Anastasia is also a well-known researcher, so it doesn't mean poverty.

That's enough to be called rich, to have assets.

Still, even if you're rich, you'll naturally feel like you're being crushed by five pieces of copper in a stall.

But the store owner smiles and opens his mouth to such anastasian language.

"I know what your sister's trying to say, but drink it first. If you drink it and you don't think it's worth five pieces of copper, I'll give you the difference."

Anastasia said no more dissatisfaction with the way the store owner confidently told her so, and decided to actually try it first.

If this isn't worth five pieces of copper coins, I'm going to complain about it thoughtfully.

As such, tell the Rays to watch for now, and pay for five pieces of copper coins to get fruit water.

It was a fruit water made of a wooden cup, but surprisingly the fruit water would be half sorbet.

I can drink it normally, not completely frozen, while it is sherbet shaped.

texture in between, unlike both liquids and solids.

Did you like that, Anastasia drank the contents of the cup with momentum...

"Ouch!

Stop drinking inadvertently and hold your head down.

It's called an ice cream headache, but even the curious Anastasia doesn't seem to have any knowledge of the area, so she suffers the pain... eventually, she glances at the stall owner.

However, the stared shopkeeper opens his mouth because he has experienced the same thing many times in previous customers, without being particularly frightened.

"Some guys do that when they drink our fruit water all at once. Some guys don't, so I guess it depends on people."

"... some kind of trap, isn't it?

"Naturally. This magic item was made for me by the alchemists in the building there?

"That's why I think it's some kind of trap,"

Ray, disturbed by the alchemists, squeals so when he hears what the shopkeeper has to say.

But the Alchemists are so obsessed with Ray because Ray has materials and magic items that attract the interest of the Alchemists.

Nevertheless, I didn't know why the alchemists would cooperate so far in this stall.

"Nevertheless, the alchemists have often lent that much help."

If Ray knew the alchemists, if it was in his interest, he would use his technology for others, free of charge... It didn't seem like anything like that.

"Oh, I guess that's because the fruit water I sell in my stall is delicious. They made magic items that would freeze them for about half the time, and they tasted even better."

When they say that, Ray is convinced, too.

Ray hasn't drunk fruit water yet, but seeing how Anastasia is, I could understand how confident he is, as the shopkeeper says.

"In the meantime, it's worth five copper coins. Is that what you think?

Asking Ray, Anastasia nods that her headache has finally healed.

"Yes. On the contrary, there would be people who would buy even a single piece of silver coin"

That probably means fruit water was delicious for Anastasia.

If you listen to Anastasia like that, it's only natural that the Rays would want to try it, too, and pay for each one to buy fruit water.

... only for Seto and the two deer were put in the vessel Ray had.

The fruit water I drank that way...

(Shake?)

That was Ray's honest sentiment.

Ray lived in the northeastern countryside.

But still, there are many burger chain stores.

… although it was only after Ray entered high school that the worldwide chain of burgers opened.

Until then, there was only a chain of expensive hamburgers where delicious was not easily accessible by high school pennies, so in fact, the number of times I drank the shake itself, Ray may not be that much.

Still, fruit water definitely tasted close to shake.

(Normally if I just froze fruit water, it wouldn't be this way. You got milk in there, too? No, but...... hmmm......)

Ray didn't originally have that sharp taste.

It is true that the five senses are stronger than they were when they were in Japan, but that is not why they can understand what ingredients are used and how the dishes and drinks they ate and drank.

That's why I know that the fruit water I bought tastes close to the shake, but I don't even know how exactly I can do this.

(I'd love to hear it if I could, but for this stall, that's what rice seeds are, so why not teach them?)

Having so decided, Ray didn't ask how he was making this fruit water... instead, he bought everything and stored it in mysteries for a certain amount of time now.

"Are you glad you bought so much?

On the way to the Lords' Hall, Anastasia tells me like she's spooked.

But Ray doesn't look particularly concerned either.

"The store owner was happy, and you don't have a problem. Besides, I only bought it for stock, and I still have the ingredients, so it will take a while, but it won't run out of stock."

That's what I said and proceeded...... Eventually, the sight of the Lords' Hall stopped Anastasia from blaming any more.
