Magic Gems Gourmet

After returning to the inn to meet Katima with the girl.

It was after ten o'clock in the evening that the girl said, "It's time to go home."

Ain didn't feel irresponsible because he also worked at the inn, but Katima told me to leave it to me, so I was willing to leave my seat.

Katima's expression was a little stiff when she visited Ain's room before the day changed.

"I've got a lot to worry about."

"... Katima-san?

"It's good that that girl wasn't nervous before me." "Speaking of the former princess, I've been looking at my usual behavior and the lab." "Well, researchers should understand that I'm easier to deal with than other civilians."

She approached the seat where Ain was sitting.

Lower your hips and brace yourself on the desk that was rudely placed there.

Look up at the high ceiling and say:

"Who are you, that girl?"

When I looked at Katima's eyes, the usual lightness disappeared.

"Unfortunately, I couldn't help you." "This is a regrettable story because I don't know much about it, but what I don't understand is that I've been talking about things that I don't know."

Katima stays out of line.

He jumped off his desk and looked up at Ain with a rough nose.

"Remember the Golden Route disturbance?"

Their scientific abilities certainly stood out.

There is no significant discomfort when I think that I survived and was involved again.

Even the girl's goodness came well.

"Where is she?

"I'm home already." "I wanted to talk to you about a lot of things, but before long, it just vanished like a fog."

Judah, it's incomprehensible.

"He said he'd be back tomorrow morning."

"... eh, are you coming?

"I thought, uhh, but that's what it sounds like."

If you are involved in the golden route, it is no wonder you are angry with Ishtalica.

Is the second encounter a trap? Has the girl anything to do with the golden route in the first place? "I'll take care of it," Katima said to Ain, who was lost.

"Next time, I'll add more guards, so don't worry."

"Simply say it again... By the way, what kind of magic stone did she hurry for?"

"I don't know... but he said it was for the poor boy who slept alone."

Well, I don't know.

Then Ain stood up.

"Are you going somewhere?"

"I'll take a look outside. Maybe he's still close."

"Hmm... then, let's take Marco and the others!"

"No, Marco will stay in the inn - Marco!

Calling the name, he carried his foot into the room within a few tens of seconds.

You wanted to see me?

"I'm going out for a while. I really want you to come with Marco and Dill...."

"... I see. Are you sure you want to protect everyone in the inn?

"Ah, that... today is faster than usual...?

"Hah, you're used to it with me, so... Besides, it is my mission to protect you."

"Thank you. Well then... I'll be home in about 30 minutes, so please."

Katima tried to drop Ain off, but his feet never showed up for the door.

Instead, they approach the window and open it.

On the way, I had a hooded jacket.

When he comes out onto the terrace full of night views of the sea...

"I'm coming."

I went out in no time.

Behind you is "NNNNNNNN!? I heard a surprise voice, but I didn't care, I passed the wall up to the roof and looked at Suzeid at night.

…………

I can't find it. I can't even see a sign of the girl anywhere I look.

I was hoping you'd walk outside, but time would have passed.

At the very least, I regret that I should have asked where I was staying first, but regretting it here doesn't make much sense.

Ain turned to the back and went down, stepping into the boulevard with his legs intact.

Of course, he hides his face with a feathered hood.

The boulevard is still busy, with Ain and many tourists. The Ain mixed up in the trail slowly walked toward the guild and looked out over the town.

However,

(I don't think he's here anymore...)

Probably, no, definitely.

Of course, you said you'd be here tomorrow, so you can wait, but when you get here, I'd like to look for some and go home.

Especially since Ain has plans for tomorrow, it's a respite.

"Adventurer! How about a bottle?

Ain nodded to the owner of the night club and bought a skewer that had been roasted at the store.

... delicious.

It's not like I'm doing this, but I could ignore it.

(I think we should go to the harbor.)

He proceeded quickly into the trail and gradually approached the harbor.

Unlike the boats lined up, including Leviathan, the pier used by the fishermen went in the direction.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

Ain barely stopped by the old harbor lined with warehouses.

Then he lurks in the shadows and kills his breath.

I heard a voice from the other side, but it was a bit swallowing.

"Aaaah! Why does the captain have to lower his head!

"I can't believe it... it's because he did something wrong!

There was a sailor and Razid's wife, whom Ain took care of during the day.

"Did you call me to talk about that!?

"Of course! 'Cause it's crazy! It was the boy who died, and it was the royal family that summoned him to die!

"... hah... are you serious?

The sailor nodded strongly.

Is he about twenty years old? The tough face and muscular body had the character of a fine sailor.

"You're an idiot. You're young."

"Ahhhhhhh! Where are you going? We're not done yet!

"Hey, that's enough. Don't you see? That's why the poor man says you're still half a man! You're an apprentice, don't you understand!?

"Hmm... I was just thinking about the captain...!

"I know you admire him. But you can't just admire it.... you don't have to work tomorrow, so keep your head cool."

She thus left under the young sailor, who leaned down and shook his fist.

... I guess I shouldn't have come here.

The young sailor rushed in the direction of the day after tomorrow as Ain stood still, feeling guilty about what he had just heard.

"Yoo-san, I'm one more person...! I'll show you the evidence soon enough!

On the other hand, Ain emerges from the shade and stands at the pier and looks at the sea. His heart was filled with determination to work harder from tomorrow.

"What is he going to do?"

Murmuring toward the sea...

That man was surprised.

He appeared negligently.

"─ ─ I don't care either. The raw shine he showed me seemed to be watching Bayolf on his young day."

He stood next to Ain without realizing the signs.

Consultant.

The silver-haired man that Bayolf called the Golden Way has now appeared next to Ain.

"Nh... you?"

"Hey, it's been a while."

He narrowed his eyes and looked at Ain with a pure smile.

"I can't believe I'm fated to see you in this town. Why are you here?

"I'm at work, not..." You need to come to King's Landing...!

"Ahahah, I can imagine why, but I can't right now."

This man had no gap.

I wonder why it's so natural. Even as Ain tried to pull out the sword, he was just wary of a strange atmosphere, and he wobbled.

(What the hell... this guy...)

At first glance, I'm not in a position to fight.

What about magic? Or a special skill?

Whatever it is, I don't know who it is.

"I don't think it's easy to go to King's Landing when I think I have the opportunity to talk to you, but from your words, I don't think I can slow down in a quiet place. I'm sorry, but I don't want any trouble."

"Do you honestly expect me to let you escape?

"I'm sorry, but I came to talk to you because I saw you by accident."

He turned his heel and turned his back on Ain.

So Ain pulled out Ishtal and stepped in.

"I'm going. I didn't have the information I needed in this town.... it wasn't so bad. Just one trial proved my worth."

"Ma... wait! There's still so much I want to hear... it's gone...?

Talk to the rap and disappear just as negligently as when you came.

Like fog... like ice dissolves in water again.

From Ain's point of view, it disappeared in a blink of an eye.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

On this night, in the deep sea off the coast.

One, a girl returning from Suzeid, lost her strength when she pulled herself from her waist and sat down on the ground pitifully.

At the same time, the girl held her torso with both hands and trembled her lips.

"Hmm... no... why...?"

Inside the skull, a magic stone can be seen looking up behind it.

Unlike when we left this place in the morning, it was filled with blacks.

"Stop...! No, go back...!

The lid inflated with the girl's visit.

The giant Magic Stone is dyed black in an instant.

When a girl floats, approaches, touches with her hand, and uses some magic, the rate of dyeing increases rather than decreases.

---That, too, changes over time.

"My hand...?

The girl's hands are swallowed by magic stones.

You try to leave in a hurry, but in no time.

Ah... ahh...

I heard a voice.

From the back of the skull to the throat.

"Stop! Please... be a good boy...!

─ ─ ─ A...... ahh......

"Please! Don't... don't be an undead... please, that's why..."

Swallow into magic stones.

The girl is wrapped in a black jar and her consciousness fades away. Proportionally, the skull owner's skeleton returns to life.

The weathered fangs regain their previous sharpness and the membrane covering the magic stone of the forehead appears.

And the flesh that covered the bones was born, and the scales were born, and the fins were born.

Finally, eyes are born and eyelids open.

However, his whole body was rotten. It was like I was even wearing a mood.

"Stop... if you eat me from the necromancer... you...! My power as a Sequencer is too strong for you...!

The girl's resistance is difficult.

"I'll always be with you again...! Ever since I saw you sleeping here, I've decided to stay with you forever...! So stop, don't absorb me...!

"Gah... ahh..."

"Let's live quietly like this....? We'll be quiet here forever...."

"Ahhhhhh... ahhhhhhhhhh!

The roar echoed underwater and passed through the deep sea, reaching the sea level.

It produces high waves and plays clouds that cover the sky.

The girl is finally caught in the magic stone. Finally, exercising the power to kill Vaafar in an instant in desperate resistance was a waste of resistance.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

The next morning, the girl never seemed to bring her feet.

I had finished eating and thought I'd listen to myself if I came, but I'm running out of time.

He looks at the clock that was in the room and stands up in a bad way.

"I'm going now. I want Marco to stay, so if anything happens, I want you to trust me."

and told Katima that we had breakfast together.

"I see!"

Listening to her reply, Ain leaves the room early enough.

Outside, Krone and Chris met, took the lift, and went down to the ground floor.

Then, on the ground floor, there was Rajid just before he left the inn.

"Mr. Razid."

When Ain called out, he scratched his cheeks in trouble for a moment before turning around.

Looking at it, Ain rushed under him alone.

"How was your dinner this morning?

"It was delicious. Everyone was happy."

"Oh, oh... that's so cool."

I was still a little reluctant, but unlike the first one yesterday, it was easy to deal with.

"I heard your Highness is going to work."

"That's right. I'm thinking of fighting monsters again."

"... then, come back at noon. It's hard for all the crew to understand, but I'll be waiting for you to prepare dinner for the knight close to your Highness."

"Eh, okay? There are quite a few people."

"After all, I asked the knights with His Highness. That's because it was going to work out."

He shrugged his shoulders and pointed outside the inn.

That direction is where the port is.

"I'm going to get Miu to our ship and tell the young ones to carry the ingredients."

"In that case, it's hard and sweet to say. I'm looking forward to lunch."

I can see from the bottom of my heart that I'm looking forward to it. With such a smile on my face, Razid was laughing with his nose scratched.

I don't know if the expression I want to solve is correct.

But it looks like the clumsiness between the two of us lurked.

"I'm going to cook dinner with Mom now! Now, be careful with your highness in the ocean. Mom, what's the matter with you in such a hurry...?

From the edge of the road outside the inn, Razid's wife came running with a twist.

"Hey... I didn't do anything to get mad at you...!? I didn't do anything wrong to His Highness!

"Well, I guess it's something else...."

It was Rajid who opened his eyes and his mouth softly.

I was surprised when his wife arrived at the inn and grabbed his chest.

For his wife's eyes were filled with desperation that she did not normally see.

"Your stupid apprentice went out to sea! I took my own boat and went to collect the treasures of the deep sea...!

When I hear of the foolish disciples, I realize who Ein and Razid are.

You mean the young sailor Ain saw last night.

In retrospect, he was certain of something before he left.

"You idiot....! What is it? Suddenly!

She told her husband about last night.

"Don't be stupid! I can't help but feel like a young man... Yes, no, wait, Mom! Is Miu... is Miu at home...?

"Mew"? Miu told me that you asked me to do a job and I went outside.... "

"Kh... you can't be serious!?

Razid rushed out of the way.

We know exactly where we're going.

"Krone, Chris. I'm going after Mr. Razid. They're with the knights!

Yeah!

Yes!

"... and yet, are you serious?... I'm going to get the treasure of the deep sea, if this is true, I'm going to that sea...!

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

Rajid got to the pier faster than Ain could have imagined.

He then goes in and out there.

Because I didn't have my own ship, and I didn't see Miu.

"It's okay."

But Ain put his hand on his shoulder.

"Your Highness...? I mean... it's okay!

"I'll be out in the sea soon, too. Mr Razid's ship will stop at Leviathan immediately and return to the harbor."

"Ahhhhh, is that okay? You're going to use such a big, stupid battleship for that...?

"I don't mind. Let me do something about this."

Appropriate costs are incurred, and it is inevitable that a fisherman will receive special treatment.

I avoided judging whether this was appropriate as a prince.

But Ain couldn't think of abandoning Razid here.

Turning around, Krone and Chris rushed in from afar.

I wanted to convey this idea to them and get them to Leviathan in a hurry.

----It was about that moment.

... the sea is shaking.

No, it flows towards a place where there is seawater.

It was just near where Leviathan anchored, where the surface began to expand, and eventually released sea water high above the sky.

"... Mr. Razid, please stand back."

Ain stood in front of him, sharply sharpening his eyes.

I had a heartbeat.

And I felt something nostalgic.

... the day I came home from school when I was a boy.

I heard Elderrich's voice in the castle, and that day ran into my head.
