Magic Gems Gourmet

I should not have this directive. Ein, who thought so, destroys that parchment until it wears off, as Olivia used to do when she destroyed the ring. And at the end of the day, it was shattered and scattered sooo in a gap breeze.

"Well, Dear Ein... right?

After a spectacular battle, Ain was nursing a fallen Marco.

A tough situation to understand how it could have been a battle if you looked from Dill, and even the flow that followed.

And when it became a good place, how Ein's body grew so big... that was the question.

"Yeah. I know Dill well. I'm pretty sure he's Ain"

I should have just looked down a little, usually. But how about now, on the contrary, isn't Dill more overlooked?

Even though that would be about a few centimeters tall, the usual appearance makes me feel very uncomfortable.

"I stretched my hair so far, and I don't know what my face looks like... I mean grown up"

About 17,8, I presume?

Ain't got to look like Ain's grown to that age all at once.

Face, shape...... and length of hair. It was transformed in many parts, making it look completely different than before we reached Demon King's Castle.

"I was smoking Mr. Marco's demon stone while fighting. I don't know, but it looks like it's gotten bigger."

... Naturally, this is also a lie.

At least Ain earlier was present with Marco just because of the strength of the sword, as promised.

But I want to explain the changes that have happened to my body to Dill later.

"Talk to me and you'll be long. So on the way back to King's Capital, ask slowly.... Is that okay?

"... I understand. Now I'm convinced of that."

This is how you believe in yourself, Dill, despite all the inconvenience.

Ain thanked Lloyd for matching us up, saying it was good to meet Dill.

"Before I go back to Baltic, I think I'll stop by for a little while"

What needs to be done is done and what needs to be confirmed. But I don't think there's a chance of getting this far. If so, the last place Ain't want to go...

"No way, Dear Ein... in the example poison swamp"

"Sasa but Dill! Yeah, well, I'm going there now... and then I'm going back to the King's Capital!

Unlike earlier, he didn't stop looking for fun...... he was back in Ain't like that.

While Dill looks tired, he decides to go along with Ain's rampant behavior.

According to Marco's description, you'll be there in 10 minutes.

When the sun began to rise. From Demon King Castle, dill to Ain going further into the back.

Surrounded by many trees, but occasionally breaking branches keeps going.

Scaffolding is bad and makes me struggle to move on, but still compared to the winter march, it was a few times better journey.

"Oh, I see it. I see it."

I should have asked you about the details. I also had those regrets when I started walking, but if I can't find them by looking a little, I'll give up. That's how I decided to keep walking.

"Is that the poisonous swamp of an example?

many trees that continued to grow irregularly. Through that space, we finally reach the first open land in a long time.

"Well, if that's all plain to understand, I think it's just that poisonous swamp..."

What you see in front of you is a swamp of about dozens of meters, as Kaisel said.

And what you see in the center of it is a glowing place that is sumptuous and invisible in its entirety.

"Is all this spreading liquid poisonous......?

"I think so. You want to move on a little bit?

—— Oops......

I'm not used to my growing body and I'm going to screw up my legs.

"Be careful, Master Ein?

"Sorry... I'm just not used to walking."

More concerned than earlier, Ain moves on to the poisonous marsh that spreads in front of him.

… dark color everywhere like tar, shiny liquid. However, the shade was blue and black, and I didn't feel anything like a special irritant odor.

On the contrary, it is gorgeous and its scent spreads as if it were a rose aroma.

"Is this scent poisonous...... It seems that some animals and demons will be deceived."

"I don't think he's probably here. There were no such footprints around here, and even little bugs didn't show up."

Its intense pheromone-like aroma is effective in deceiving opponents in nature.

Nevertheless, it is only a marsh of poison...... I guess the living organisms with those instincts are aware of its vicious toxicity.

"But it smells so good, I can't help wondering if it's really poisonous"

"Ha, you may indeed be right"

Ain't smiled at Dill's words and kept going to the swamp abyss.

"But look... it seemed poisonous"

Overall, when I put my hand on that swamp, it spread in circles as if I were pouring water into the oil, centered on the area Ain touched.

"Is this detoxified?

"... I just wanted to be the first to say something if I could"

"Uh... sorry. I'm reflecting."

I scratch my pompous head and say the words with regret.

"As for the swamp, it seems pretty shallow.... I'll see you glowing in the middle, will you wait?

"Yep... now I know about Dear Ein's poison resistance. But it's not necessarily without demons, so please be careful in that respect."

"Mm-hmm. If I have to, I'll wave this sword and run away, so wait a minute."

Speaking of which, I regret a little that you hadn't decided on the name.

That's why I wanted Marco to decide, that was the rest of my heart.

"... oh, is it like just a puddle instead of a shallow"

Ain't going slow on your feet and finding out how deep it is.

Because of the dark shades everywhere, I couldn't see the bottom so I didn't know the depth.

"Well... what is it?"

Step by step, slowly advance your feet so that it's okay to suddenly go deep. Behind that, Dill was staring at Ain with a slightly worried face.

"Humph..."

But Ein, who just walks forward, begins to mumble his nose without knowing his worries.

In the middle of the marsh, which approaches a little bit, this little bit of time also gives a sense of backwardness.

"(… has a beauty as if it were a Spirit)"

I was worried about Dill, but I had these sentiments when I saw Ain walking.

Whenever Ain walks, a detoxified circle spreads around its footprint. The beautifully stretched Olivia conceded hair never seemed fantastic with this trick.

"This fog... smells so dark"

As we approached the center, the fog began to gradually thicken.

And as he smells the scent, Ain't going back in time.

"Mm-hmm. I think I've smelled something. Where?"

A fragrance I remember somewhere. It should have been an important time for me, but I can't even remember about that scent.

"Well no. Just move on and you'll see."

There's an answer there if you walk, rather than think. That's what I think, and I'll move on earlier than I did earlier.

"... I see it"

Proceeding through the fog, the light gradually becomes stronger.

It was as brilliant as a "flame," fronting it and approaching a few more steps.

"That. That glow..."

Ain, who was also familiar with the way it shined, finally reached under its light.

"Oh well. It smelled like this flower... so I remember smelling it, you know"

Dill looking from outside the swamp can't see how that Ain looks.

But to Ain, who had reached the light, the identity had finally been dewy.

"Cherry blossom... You're the Blue Fire Rose, right?

A flame swinging in cherry colour, let it dwell on each and every petal and continue to glow in a serene rhythm.

When I put my face closer, the only thing that looked like was clearly Blue Fire Rose.

"He's poisoned too... for sure"

But can I call it this?

How about calling it Blue Fire Rose when it's not blue at all?

"... you can't pull it out"

Let's pull it out of the land and try to pull out the poison. That's what I thought, but no matter how hard you pull, there's no sign of you pulling it out.

"Too rooted...! No, still, this solidity..."

At last keep it down with both hands and keep pulling though. Still, there's no sign of this Blue Fire Rose falling out.

"How root-stretched are you... you're not that big enough to stretch..."

I tried that for a while, but there's no sign of it coming out.

I look at the swamps I've walked into and wonder how far I've stretched my roots.

"You know, maybe you... you don't say the root of all this swamp, do you?

An incredible amount of poison for a regular Blue Fire Rose. That's what makes the swamp even more liquid, so it's no longer a problem.

Seeing this rose, which is definitely a mutant species, Ain made those assumptions.

—— And put your finger on the root area and let the poison break down.

"... what do you think?

I didn't know what was going on with the poison around me, but that's how I kept breaking down the poison for a little while.

... Then the fog seems to be diminishing and I can see Dill outside.

"Dear Ein! What the hell are you doing -!

"I'm trying to disassemble the poison! Wait a minute!

Looks like Dill could confirm Ein's appearance as well, and the two speak for the first time in minutes.

"The poison marsh is getting smaller, but it was ain's help!

—— Hit it.

Ain smiled tiny and damned, happy that his hypothesis was correct.

"Well, I guess I'll just take another look."

Strengthen the momentum of toxin breakdown by focusing on your body. Then, as Ein's eyes can see, the poison swamp gradually narrows.

All that remains is just clear, beautiful water, and a soil that seems full of nourishment emerges.

How many lives would it take to use this poison as a weapon?

If you do poorly, the survival of a country may even be at stake.

"Ooh. I'm out..."

At the same time that the swamp poison has fallen out, the Blue Fire Rose is long gone and away from its soil. And it was sandwiched by Ain's finger, and put up before Ain's eyes.

"See you at the end. I'm gonna get your poison, too."

Ein gradually sucks up poison from the bottom, like he did back in the day.

I wonder if the splendor of the petals has gradually become stronger, transforming into beautiful crystals one by one.

"... it's a complete mutation. This"

At the same time that the last one transformed into a crystal, Ein stopped the toxin degradation.

Gently take the crystal part from the top of the floral part.

"Cherry star crystal..."

Besides its overly virulent toxicity, the mutant Blue Firerose... had these beauties.

A star crystal with a springy world, like a petal dancing all the time.

The cheer of spring, the warmth of the day, and the beauty of Rin take Ain's eyes away.

"... just take it home"

Returning to the town of Baltic, Ain and Dill rush into the royal train.

When I reunited with the Kingsguard knights that kept me waiting, everyone stopped surprised me.

"When I smoked the demon stone, I grew up"

and too simplistic an explanation for everyone, confusing but convincing.

Sucking on demon stones is unprecedented, and knights don't know what's going to happen.

And most importantly, Ain said so, so the Kingsguard knights believed the words honestly.

Afterwards, in Ain's vehicle, he was worried about how to explain to Dir what happened at the Demon King's Castle.

But when he sees the look of tired Ain, Dill speaks to me when he returns to the king's capital, and when he rests his body, tell me.

Gentle everywhere, and a dill who believes in himself.

I was pleased with these cares, but at the same time I felt a great deal of guilt.

But it is true that Ein's emotions are in a difficult situation to put into words and that he is not thinking together.

It's heartbreaking to stay sweet on Dill these days, but it's sweetened on Dill's heart again.

"Hey Dill... are you sure you want to go back to King's Capital?

"... So can I just tell you one thing?

It's when Dill leaves Ain's vehicle and tries to make his way to where he rests.

"Yeah. Ask me anything"

"Then I'll ask you. What Ein is doing is connecting there for Ishtarika... and for the future?

"Eh... of course. What I did was important to Ishtalika, and it should be."

Dill, hearing the words, just smiles gently.

"I don't mind if it is. I'm Ain's escort, so I'm just protecting Ain. Even if that's the Imperial Castle."

"... sorry"

Maybe Dill has a part that connects with Marco.

Being shown enough loyalty to make him think so, Ein was ashamed of what he had done so far.

"You don't have to apologize. But Ein is tired too... Please, when I return to Wang Capital, I would like to speak with Ain, who is well again."

And Dill opens the door.

"A lot has happened. There are still things I don't know, but you still showed Ain's majesty. … you are a treasure to me."

One last time I look back and Dill tells Ain:

"Rest in peace. We'll be back by the time we get to Wang Du."

Dill quietly closed the door and moved to a completely different space from Ain.

Dill's voice, which went out, did not reach Ain, but Dill stopped on the spot and was thinking a few things.

"... there was nothing I could do to fight Lord Marco"

What a fierce battle.

I feel strongly that I don't want to admit it, but it's difficult, even if it's Lloyd... because Ein made me think so with enough strength and skill reward.

"Besides, when Ein was troubled. I couldn't do anything."

When Ain was losing his energy, he wasn't helping mentally. The thing pierces me deeply.

"As an escort, as someone to put aside... I could do nothing. Then, Dear Ein, it is I who should apologize."

I just regretted it. When Ain said he's grown so strong, he said, 'What the hell is this body?' and my heart is filled.

"Ha... damn... I regret it"

Not like this. It doesn't matter if there's no such escort, what can I do?

"I have to be strong. Much more than ever, and much more than your father..."

Zero large tears, but think strongly about what you should do.

"I'll have to ask Father when I get home.... more training, and getting to the strength of Father, not the eyes."

I rubbed my eyes with the sleeves of my clothes and swept away the tears that had come to my mind.

A little after Dill walked away, Ain stared at the card he had placed on his desk.

Hide the contents with your own gloves on top so that the written contents are not visible to your eyes.

"... it's time to see"

It was just Ain watching how it went, but it finally makes me ready.

"It's been a long time. Uh, I knew I didn't want to see it."

Under the gloves, a status card with your name on it. Speaking of honesty, I'd rather not see what's written and throw it out the window.

But you can't possibly do that, Ein is fighting a gripping emotion.

-- "... my name is Ein, Ein von Ishtarika. He is the next king to inherit the blood of the orthodox Ishtarika, the second generation of the Ishtarika royal family… --the king '

At the end of Marco, the words he uttered.

I used the word king in this dialogue, but I have very complex emotions.

"Second generation. That's what I'm sure..."

It was used in the sense of the second generation of the former demonic kingdom (Ishtarika). That way, the changes in my body will be explained, and I'll stick with you.

……

Meaning the vessel Ein thought of.

Meaning the vessel that Silvard thought of.

And Marco spoke, meaning vessels.

Every one of them has a difference, but there was no big difference between Ain and Silvard's thinking vessels. But in the vessels of their thought, and in the vessels of Marco's mouth, was a great sight. I mean, that's the story.

"... I knew this was happening"

The list of jobs did not find the letter "name" that should have been written.

But instead, another two characters have been added.

"Yeah. Well, I predicted it, and I was ready, and I had a feeling this was gonna happen."

Let's tell Silverado first. It seems right to think about teaching others afterwards.

"'Demon King'..."

A demon king is born in a bloodline called Ishtarika. As for myself chasing the Red Fox, I couldn't help but feel meaningful about this causal story.

If it had been planned, it would have been past evening for Ain to return to the King's Capital.

But the time was already before 10: 00 at night, what had happened to these few hours of delay... and the castle was surrounded by such anxiety.

In such an atmosphere, Silvado had been taken away to Olivia's office.

"So Father! What the hell did you ask Ain!

"Oh, calm down, Olivia..."

The Royal Train moves, which means the information is always sent to Silverado.

In that case, if they were to wait in the castle, they would take it for granted to ask Silvado.

"Yes, I do, Your Majesty. I wonder how it could be so late... Ain't what I'm letting you do?

"O... the Lord calm down too, O Laralua! As queen, always calm down..."

"Oh, I'm calm. That's why you're listening calmly."

Stuck like this, Silverado doesn't even know what Ain't actually doing.

The contact that arrived at Silvard will be delayed because it will stop by Baltic. I want Olivia and the others to shut up... because that's what it was all about.

"(What are you doing Ain't...! Why can't we blame the rest so much...)"

"... Your Majesty?

"Oh, it's Krone! Why don't you tell me from your Lord, or be dear to these two --"

"I'm afraid, Your Majesty. What is Ain doing?

Maybe if it's Krone...... I thought so, but she's equally worried about Ain.

Though his face is calm, he has thorns in his words.

"No, Your Majesty. That sounds pretty tough..."

"It's Warren! Something from the Lord..."

"I haven't heard it either, so it's one of Her Highness's thoughts."

- What is that king prince doing!

That I suddenly turned to Baltic if I thought I was feeling better.

Ain't feeling well. I thought hard watching Ain't, but these "books are too good" Ain't struggling either.

If you're leaving from Baltic, it should be time to follow. Come back soon...... that's when Silvard started thinking about it.

"Mi, are you all here..."

Martha was the one who knocked and entered the room.

You came in a hurry, you came in a rush with your breath in order.

In his hand, he has a black string to tie his hair.

"Oh, it's Martha! What's wrong with coming all of a sudden?

What is a boat to cross?

I come close to Martha all of a sudden and talk more shattered than usual.

"Well... Dear Ein is back..."

That was the best news. I don't know how to break the cage because I'm relieved... oh my god, I can even afford to think about it.

"Martha, Ain't you back?

"Yes. It is true that Master Ain is back... it should be..."

Olivia and the others stare anxiously at Martha, who has a very bad tooth cut.

"Mr. Martha? Um... what happened to Ein?

Krone with her hands on her chest and a strong grip to distract her anxiety. Hearing the words, Martha continued her explanation in a bewildered manner.

"Uh what do you say... it's getting bigger, let's just say..."

Martha's words don't make sense.

When everyone was confused, Martha said, 'I was actually waiting for you in the big hall, so if you would all excuse me'... she thanked me and then left early.

Now I know Ain has returned, but I have no understanding of what happened.

For that reason, as Martha said, everyone left Olivia's office and took to the Great Hall in an attempt to ascertain with their own eyes.

The time is a little retroactive. It was when Ain walked through the castle gate and into the hall.

"No, you're finally home."

Stretch your body and relax Ain.

I can't wait to see how fresh it is when I see a different vision.

But the men of the castle did not care.

Who the hell is that? It resembles Olivia and has a shadow of Ain.... and Dill is standing next to me, what is this all about?

Everyone has these bewildered expressions as well, but if you are a guest, you should not be disrespectful.

Don't manage to put it on your face, but worry about being the way it always is.

"Is Mr. Martha here?

Speak a little louder and call Martha as usual.

Then, less than a few dozen seconds later, its called Martha came to the Great Hall.

"Welcome home, Master Ain. Everyone is waiting for Ein to return..."

Martha, with her face up, suddenly closes her mouth when she sees Ain's face.

"... Dill. Which one of you is Mr. Ein?

"Mother...... Here you are, Ein... I think you will explain this in more detail later, but now I hope you understand with Ein..."

Martha is told that by her son, who serves as an escort, and has a face stained with surprises.

"Shit... excuse me, Dear Ein. I really don't know who Ein is..."

"There's a lot going on and you've grown up. Oh, speaking of which, I also had to get my clothes new."

If you look at Ain's feet and hand, you can see he's clearly not long enough.

But if I were Martha, I couldn't afford to worry about clothes right now.

"Can I ask the grandfathers to tell me Ein's home? I'll take care of the load here. Can I ask for it?

He looked tired, but still laughed the way he always did.

Martha sees the look on her face and clearly realizes that she is really Ain.

"... I understand, sir. Then I'll come and tell you in a hurry--"

"Uh, and maybe a hair tie? You're in trouble for stretching too much."

Long hair that reaches to the waist. Just looking at it there, I remember the illusion as if Olivia had become two.

"I'm in awe. So I'll get you something... uh, are you in the big hall for a while?

"Yeah, I think I will. It's a lot of baggage, so it's tough."

I don't give a shit about Martha's confused appearance, just a hella laughing ein as usual.

This easy-going feeling is obviously Ain, I have to think so.

"Then I'll tell you and come. Please wait while we also bring something that can tie your hair"

"Mm-hmm."

In doing so, Ain, looking back, turns to much of the luggage he brings.

"Hey, Dilu? Did you send all the souvenirs yesterday?

"Yeah, that's right. I thought it was already in the kitchen."

"Oh well. Then don't worry."

Listening to the two conversing voices, Martha hurried to find Silvado and the others.

"Oh, speaking of dill"

"Yes. What is it?

"Next time you're free, go shopping with me."

To the abrupt Ein words, Dill stops the hand that was unpacking.

"… of course I will accompany you, what kind of shopping?

"Because you're older, you want clothes. Sometimes you can come with me to that, can't you?

"Wow, let me show you the store I use......!

The more you see at a glance, the happier you look, Dill.

I didn't expect you to make these invitations, so much joy filled my heart.

"Good. Good. You want to go buy some soon, but you're actually still wearing clothes... and you don't want to take them off anymore."

"... after you get back to your room, right?

"Wow... I know! He said he wouldn't take it off in here!

Seeing the two of them interact similarly until now, the servants and knights they've been watching on the far-roll begin to recognize that they're really Ain't.

Then again, a question mark comes to mind as to what the hell happened...

As Ein and the others did so, they heard this noise or Chris came dressed in knightly clothes.

"Dear Ein, welcome home...?

She came as she waved her tail vigorously, but as she approached Ain, the momentum subsided.

And when I stopped in front of him a few steps, he looked confused, like a cat who hadn't seen his owner home in a long time.

"I'm home, Chris. Sorry I'm a little late."

It was Ain who was packing, but he hears Chris and looks back.

"Huh...? Dear Ein? Dear Ein...?

"Yes, yes, it's Ain. How was Chris, too?

Once I let go of my hand from my luggage, Ain comes by Chris's side.

Hair stretched out to a bigger body than the other day...... and her face was growing like an adult. Though there is a shadow of Olivia and previous Ain, Chris is also tense when he sees Ain't full of new charm.

"Ho, really, Master Ain? Why are you so annoyed... and your hair is stretched..."

"Hmmm...... all kinds of things have gotten bigger. Is that weird?

When he sees Ain, who looks worried, Chris denies it with a hazy face.

"Chi...... no! The... Rin made me... nice, I think... eh. But I'm really worried about Ein."

"But look, these clothes are what I've always been here for, right? And the sword... right?

That's how Chris slowly begins to approach me when I show him something wrapped around me by gesturing.

"May I see it nearby...?

"About a good approximation. Here you go."

Further approaching upon hearing the reply, Chris approached Ain about a few dozen centimeters away.

"Shh... Shh..."

If Ein's eyes are right, Chris is making his nose work better than his. It was such a trick, but Ain got it in silence.

I get anxious that it would have smelled like sweat.

"--ho, it's really Master Ain...... Huh!?

Then Gabba with joy! And with his face up, Chris finally came to believe he was really Ain.

"(So you know...)"

While not looking at it for a few days, Chris seems to have further evolved his loyalty dog level, but I didn't think there was any such way to identify him.
