Magic Gems Gourmet

The food transported was exquisite, and I concentrated on the taste so much that I forgot the details.

I was curious that Miu, Razid's daughter, had been standing back for a long time, but she worked as a waitress because other customers brought her feet along along along the way.

--- Hey, what's going on? In the meantime, one per day.

----I don't know, Ah, Mio-chan! Four times a day!

----His Royal Highness Prince Wang came to the Captain's shop, was the Captain allowed? I'm asking for two a day!

----I 'll have a drink with you every other day, Mi-chan.

Everyone who came seemed to be worried about what was going on in the store, but it was funny that I always ordered a change of day for the closing words.

I don't think this flavour can be helped, and I can't help but smile when I look at the healthy miu.

(I'm afraid it'll bother you if you come again)

I honestly thought I wanted to come back because it was delicious...

Anyway, Razid hates Ain.

"His Royal Highness Prince Wang. Would you like some water?

"Ah, ahh... thank you very much."

After drinking a little mixed water with citrus fruit, Ain breathed lightly.

And it was delicious. It was so delicious that I forgot everything and remembered it many times.

I feel that I have become energetic about my work since the afternoon.

... well...

Ayn-sama, you're looking amazing.

Chris's seat turned her back on Razid, and she smiled bitterly and told Ain that she had no choice.

Dill was the same, and Ain wasn't angry in the first place, so he laughed bitterly.

I'll go back, but it's Razid who's watching Ain.

He looked at Ain in a strangely harassing manner, against Miu's worthy work.

(I won't do anything....)

Do you think they're taking you away? That was a joke, but I couldn't stop feeling the paternity of Miu in that sharp gaze.

------

Mom, I gotta get out of my seat.

"It's embarrassing. Work."

"... uhh"

My wife stopped me gently and gave up trying to carry my legs under Ain.

I've already given it up.

"My father was like that when I was in the Mansion."

"Martha is strong too....."

Nevertheless, it is.

I tried to come here, but I wondered if I could just eat and leave right away.

After all, Ain took Dill and Chris to his seat and headed to the counter.

I was wondering if it would be nice to talk to you, but I had you cook a meal. I didn't think it would hit me enough to say thank you for dinner, so I shouted to Rajid, who waved the iron pot lavishly.

"Mr. Razid, can I have a moment?

Hearing that voice, there was tension in the store.

Likewise, Razid thought of something, stopped his hand and saw Ain.

"Oh, my God."

His wife doesn't blame the tone at this time, and keeps an eye out for Ain.

"Thank you for your meal. The food was really delicious."

I thought maybe I should apologize first.

But I can't.

It is by no means lighter for Ain, the next king, to apologize for the sea dragon disturbance.

When it comes to what we can do now, some people may say that it's rude to say that we should look at the other person's feelings, but that Razid was released from the poison.

Ain showed me a smile and words that would have made me enjoy eating from the bottom of my heart, and my body relaxed.

…………

"You....?

"Bad mom. I'm just gonna take a little seat."

That's what Razid said, he took off his apron, he left the counter, and came by Ain.

Unlike before, turn your eyes away from even the slightest hostility.

Without worrying about the interior, which is still feeling tense.

"Prince Wang, I just need some time."

Chris and Dill were wary of the words.

"Okay."

Ain answered immediately and decided to leave the store according to his instructions.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

One corner of Suzeid, a small hill, carried his feet. It was in front of a rock built on a calm lawn with sea breezes.

The two guards keep a distance and keep Ain out of sight.

"You did a bad thing at work."

"Okay, I think we should have talked this way."

Don't worry about each other's tone, look out at the sea with a natural body.

Could it be tens of seconds or even a few minutes?

While standing still in the sea breeze, I looked at the rocks and noticed the engraved letters.

... this is probably a tombstone.

"I thought you were here to apologize."

Yes, in front of Razid's son's tombstone.

Then he fell on his knees, and put his head on the ground, and put his mouth to it.

"Prince Wang, I'm sorry."

Ain got a little lost before he apologized for his sincere attitude.

Yeah, I don't care.

I wondered if it would be so easy to answer...

So Ain stepped forward and stood in front of the tomb before returning his reply.

May I pray for him?

"--Your Highness?

"I'm not going to accept an apology. Because I'm not angry in the first place. But you can't apologize to me. I'm sorry, I just want you to forgive me."

So I put my hands together in front of the tombstone.

"But I can pray for Mr. Razid's child."

This was the only way I could treat a particular individual because there was a nominal reason why I shouldn't.

If you can't apologize, at least pray.

Inspired by Ain's intentions, Razid turned his body around and kept lowering his head to Ain, who offered his son a prayer.

"What!? How long have you been lowering your head!?

"... I'm praying for my son. I couldn't have raised my head and said,"

"Yes, come on! Come on, get up!

"Ooh, ooh!? Isn't it tougher than I thought, Your Highness!?

Ain pulled Razid's hand and forced him to stand up.

Razid, who was surprised, was stunned, but he apologized again immediately.

"He took part in the sea dragon crusade of his own volition. I know it's a mistake to be angry, and I understand that my anger is an insult to him, as my mother said."

He lays his hand on the tombstone and mocks himself.

"That's what I thought until I first met His Royal Highness Prince Wang. But I don't know, but when I met her, my head was boiling.... you know, it's all an excuse. It's not a bad excuse for a stupid fisherman who turned his anger on His Highness."

I sympathize.

But if there were a hundred people, hundreds might say resentment. Ain listened without interrupting the excuse, and lay down his eyes and leaned against his emotions.

In doing so, Razid took the cigar out of his pocket and set it on fire.

I wonder if he smokes in front of Ain, or if he puts it in front of his grave.

"He was wrapped in Suzeid, and I liked him, too."

"Then you can smoke too, Mr. Razid. I don't care."

"Haha, my nostalgic prince. But don't worry about it. I've stopped the cigar since he died. I'm not the only one who enjoys it."

So I just put it in front of my grave, and now I only let my dead son smoke it.

The scent of the wind tickled Ain's nostrils.

"Let me apologize again. It all comes from the size of my vessel."

"So I don't care."

"No, everything needs to be bullied. I know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is generous, but now I can't stand His Highness the Crown Prince.... that's why."

He looks down at Ain and says.

"I just want you to leave Mom and Mew alone. I'm the only one who should be punished."

What an easy-to-understand and pleasant man.

It is true that the beginning was due to his actions.

However, the people who dew because of it are likely to fall in love.

"Even if they say punishment... ah!

I was really lost in Ain, but...

Okay, I've made up my mind.

To the nervous face of Rajid.

Deliver words that make the tension stupid.

"If you don't mind, I'd like to ask Mr. Razid for our meal. Just for the duration of your stay, how about that?

"... what?

"No, it's dinner. I'd like to start tonight. I will pay the business trip fee properly, so I want everyone to come to the hotel and eat. I have a shop, and I don't want to say it's impossible, so I'd like to ask as much as I can."

"... is it just cooking?

It doesn't matter how important it is to Ain.

I nodded back to Razid with a neat face.

"Kuku... hahahahahaha!

Razid knelt down with a laugh and looked up at Ain.

"What will it be? I thank His Royal Highness the Prince for his generous words."

"That's enough, that's all!

The walls left in my heart collapsed, and I felt the sunlight reflected back on the tombstone.

They both shake hands and laugh at each other.

Then he remembered that Ain was a shop.

"No, why would Miu look like that when she came by me?

"Ah, ahh... my mother told me last night that I had to put Miu under His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

In terms of context and tone, it is not simply meant to be directional.

It was an easy word to see how much responsibility and guilt I was driven by, but from Ain's point of view, I don't want to ask for mercy, I can't say anything to an old idea and I just smile bitterly.

Here, Chris ran behind Ain some time ago.

She hugged Ain's arm for a long time and seemed to be getting nervous.

Looking at Razid in a vigilant manner, he opened his mouth and shouted at the two men who were surprised.

"It's no good! Absolutely not!

I know Rajid, too. That she is attentive to Ain.

By the way, I could tell by looking at Ain's face. He sees Chris as a woman, but he is not yet a man or a woman.

"...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, that's right."

Then Rajid turned his back and scratched his cheeks, saying, "Make it spicy."

He walked barely, just before passing by Ain.

"Elves love each other for a long time, but if you're so close..."

The last words were heard only by Ain, then melted in the wind and disappeared. Razid told him so, and finally left the scene with an unfortunate face.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

In the evening, Ain was in the guild after carrying the planned number of monsters.

She put her elbows on the counter and put her name on the last signature field on the document while the receptionist was checking it.

"Yes, I did accept it....."

She goes behind the counter, leaving Ain and Dill looking across the guild.

As the night approached, the number of end-of-work adventurers was increasing.

The city of Suzeid itself is not full of monsters nearby, but it is still an area where monsters appear after a few hours on horseback.

The same was true of the forest near King's Landing, but there were only slimes and small insect-based monsters.

On the other hand, I hear that there are many giant monsters around here. That's why adventurers do a lot of work.

"Wow... I think I'm really tired."

"Thank you very much. I was supposed to go hunting again tomorrow, but don't be too hard on me. I'll run over Leviathan when it's time."

"I'm fine. Sleep well overnight is enough."

Ain laughed lightly and said so, glanced at the unconscious place.

I was also curious when I brought my foot to the guild in the coastal city of Strom, and this is the big board that keeps asking.

Is this time for tomorrow's work, or is it undercover?

Regardless, a number of adventurers are holding and reviewing the request form and discussing with their peers which one to accept.

------

Unexpectedly, the adventurers turned their gaze towards the entrance.

I wonder what happened.

When I looked at the Ain I was worried about as well...

"You don't look like someone's daughter.

"I don't know. You came from some store to deliver your stuff."

"But noble."

Standing at the entrance was a girl who was breathing out.

Purple hair stands out here in Ishtalica, and the gothic dress is elegant, tailored in a good fabric at a glance.

What's more, his face is pathetic as well.

You look just like Mr. Archer.

That's why Ain was so close.

"Uh-oh!?"

The girl walked early in a hurry.

The foot turned towards the bulletin board and looked around at the whole place.

Just as I saw the receptionist coming back under Ain, the girl approached us.

"Thank you for waiting..." "Please, listen to me." "Well, what did you do?

Dill was dissatisfied with being broken in, but Ain didn't care about it by example, and rather wanted to give priority to the girl who was just waiting.

In the meantime, I looked at the receptionist.

"What can I do for the Alliance?

"... the cloudiness of the calendar year caused by the Magic Stone... is not normal...! Repeat the irregular beat as if it had been eroded by something, and I don't know what to do anymore!

"Calendar year turbidity...? Irregular heartbeat...?

The receptionist didn't know what was going on. Ain and Dill, of course.

"Enough! Somebody more knowledgeable! I have a lot of money!

"Customer! I know it sounds like a fire, but I'm a country guild for how long...! I don't know if I'm an oligarchy, but perhaps I'll need the wisdom of a proper researcher to satisfy the customer's needs...!

"Uh-oh! Then tell me where to go!

So, when you go to King's City and Isto...

"I don't know! I don't know where he is, even if he says so!

Ain was surprised to hear the conversation.

Is it possible that you don't know Isto, and you don't even know King's City?

Ishtalica is large, and there are some areas here that are more rural than Suzeid. That's why some people might talk like the girl here... I didn't think so, but I don't think it's impossible.

However, I was concerned about various things, but this is also the edge of something.

Can I talk to you for a second?

"What...!?

"My aunt might be able to help. If you don't mind, I'd like you to tell me a story."

Then the girl repeatedly blinks and stands in front of Ain with no strength.

The girl's back is low. It was slightly larger than the Krone when we first met, and it was quite small.

Such a girl looks up at Ain and looks at her eyes like she trusts her.

"Please, I have a lot of money, so give me the wisdom to help her."

Strangely enough, I stuck my neck again.

With this in mind, Dill stared at Ain's side.

But maybe this is also Ein.

"Let's go to the hotel I'm staying at. I think my aunt better hear it than I do."

----This encounter will mean a lot to Ain. Ain doesn't know that, and it's only after time has passed that he will know.

But still.

It was certain that this encounter had no small impact on his hero.
