Magic Gems Gourmet

Arriving at the inn, each of the three enters the room for a rest.

Nevertheless, Chris is resting in a room set inside Ein's room that the servant would also use.

The interior had changed slightly from before, but not to the essential part, and Ain had an elegant time.

- When the yang rose, Ain was glancing at the material in the living room.

Chris hasn't woken up yet, and he's alone.

"Uh, how many laboratories are in difficulty to fund"

When I look at the material Katima's hands contain and say so, I shake my head, for Christ's sake.

It's written not only by the Paleontological Laboratory, but also by a variety of circumstances.

Through his eyes, Ain could have known about the many laboratories he'd closed down so far.

I don't know how many times there have been stinking cases where gold is involved.

Do you think research costs money to do anything? I also feel that all this is inevitable.

If everyone is a saint prince - and it's impossible otherwise.

"I can't talk about it."

He made a crisp noise and placed the paper buckwheat on his desk.

What I found out was the location of the paleontological laboratory and the results of the research.

However, when it comes to achievements, it's not a big deal, and I have nothing to highlight.

And about the background of the director of the Paleontological Institute.

(... the director was a Fellow of Ist Great Magic, or so)

He seemed like a researcher who was quite good at the time, and was independent in the first place - apparently.

Seems like a story that doesn't ring and fly after independence, or to the extent that it leaks a sigh.

I doubted my relationship with Oz, but I was relieved that didn't seem to be the case.

Katima seems to know about the researcher, and she's been accompanied by a word that she wants me to leave the area to her.

After reading it, Ain looks out the window.

"Well, let's give it a try."

Phew, sighing, Ain basically stood up and headed to the window.

When I pulled out the one vase that was placed at the window, the flower inside, I said I was sorry for the little one.

"I don't know if you don't need dirt, but for now... it would help if you came out"

Put your hand on the neck of the vase and laugh.

Ein's hand glowed dull, and the vase pulsed so that a heartbeat could be transmitted.

If you think the sound of swallowing saliva only sounded once, the inside of the vase wobbles weakly.

"-A... aah...?

"... hey, good morning"

Born small like a circle of roses, he stares at Ain in vain.

"How's it going?

――

I answered with a shake of my neck, no, it looked around intriguingly.

Oh, my God, Ain't that a surprisingly cute trick, Ain't smiled small.

"Hmm. What's going on inside?

And, Ein tries to peek into the vase.

Then,

"Huh! - Huh!

Him...... no, maybe it's her, but I shake my head wide uncomfortably and refuse.

I see... Ein rejoiced that maybe he was more willing than he assumed.

"I'm sorry. Right, you're embarrassed...... yeah...... Even Maneater is alive..."

It was the man-eater that created it in the vase.

A pure family, unlike demon stone groups like Cain and Sylvia.

There are many mysteries but they are difficult to pursue, such as how they are born and how they live.

It goes without saying that for those who have experienced Heim's war - among them, the demon stone group, they have felt very troubled.

But only, the Maneater is only faithful to the Ein of the Lord and does not utter a sexual vice theory.

"Actually, I'm in trouble. I need a hand, okay?

As always, Ain't a long way to go until you get an order tone.

Maneater had his mouth half-opened, pointing the face of a flower with no eyes straight at him, as if he were leaning his neck.

(... I feel cute)

I had feelings similar to kindness, but when I was little, I seemed like an out-of-the-box cutie.

If you open your mouth wide, you may have fierce fangs, but now you're feeling calm, and I'm not letting you see one of them.

(... and the words seem to make sense enough)

I am able to communicate with you.

I can't tell you what I'm thinking on the inside, but if I speak up, he clearly understands... He seemed to me.

I was just relieved,

"Actually, there's a place I'd like to look."

and tell Maneater about his previous history and circumstances.

It would be a different sight from the side.

Talk to the flowers, this would be pretty cute, but it's hard to brush all this time.

"Can you? You can't eat researchers, you can't destroy laboratories, you can't eat research subjects. It's full of bad things..."

"... haaaa..."

Then the reply is a very loud sigh.

"... Huh?

……

At this time, Ain remembered his last summons.

One, the whole man-eater thing plundered the back of my brain.

"You never sighed at me before?

It was when I left the Augusto Chamber of Commerce and was attacked by robe men in the harbor.

Were you dissatisfied with Ein's instructions, huh? There were man-eaters like that.

"I got it, didn't I?

"...... n"

I nodded, my face shrugged and I thought inside.

A surprising gaze at a man eater who is too emotionally expressive, he exchanges silence with each other.

When that lasted nearly a minute, Ain sighed as well,

"Next time you sigh weird, I'll name you Logus,"

"Ahhhhhhhhh... Pep!

The same thing as Marco makes you think that if you have a face, you look like an expression...

"... I see. Could be reliable."

I think I feel comfortable.

Feeling that it was going to work somehow, Ain told me the plan he had in mind.

Speaking of results, this man-eater was surprisingly a family member listening, so giving him the Demon Stone after the end made the battle.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

Today the second day.

I had a dining room in the whole town of Ist, in that private room with Chris in my hand.

That is a letter prepared by Warren.

First thing this morning, this is being delivered to multiple laboratories.

I have often said that it will be turned into a fox, and Ein should be able to say that he has successfully absorbed the technology.

"Nevertheless, you're right that for good reason…"

"Right, so my spin next... or you're gonna need my thoughts"

Ein points to the crate he puts next to the table, and Chris sees it too.

"That's the gift you said the other day, isn't it? Is this such a small thing?

"You got it smaller, didn't you? The contents..."

Ain't talking.

to see what's packed and what you're going to do with it.

Naturally, Chris put his hand on his forehead like a shudder.

With one hand, a fork stabbed in the dish is sad inside.

"-... ha, are you going to send in a secret detective"

Secret detective, it's definitely a secret detective.

Because those who are studying ancient creatures feed on beings that would be attracted to them.

"That's a terrible word, that. I'm not thinking about that, am I? Just be precious..."

"Nor is it too farcical?

"... but you can't stand a corner with this"

I told Maneater well.

The reward after work or the last one snorted well enough.

Even if it were white, it would not cause weird damage.

Because of my suspicious behavior, I don't know what else to do.

- I kept you waiting.

Then the clerk led me there and Katima came.

She acted with Warren's men and had taken her feet to other laboratories until now.

"Good day. How was the other lab?

"At last, I've been doing my work. This investigation may have been surprisingly meaningful."

"Hmm... shall we now go to the Paleontological Laboratory"

Chris stood up as he rushed to chew the food he had left.

I'm glad I took it a little slower, and I never thought I would, but Ain gets up and walks out as well.

I've already paid, all I have to do is leave the store.

"Nyah, Ein"

As we walked in the quiet store, Katima spoke.

"Yes, sir. What's the matter with you?

"How does a man eater in a box get home?

"... after experimenting, it disappeared to dissolve in water, so maybe that's it"

When it was white, we were going to use that trait to withdraw it.

Because it can be produced by magic, it's very user-friendly in these respects.

"The more I... the more convenient my family is..."

"I'll let you look inside the lab tonight. He ordered me to come back to my vase at night."

- Then the three of them left the dining room and walked to their destination.

The township remains the same, with many streamlined objects placed.

Because all of them are magic props, is it still like Ist?

I also saw it before when I came to Isto, a large watch stand in the middle of town.

Eye-catching it aside, the three walk through the bustling town of Ist.

"Oh, speaking of -"

If you walk for a few minutes, it gets closer, and Chris's nervousness grows.

Ain and Katima, on the other hand, are optimistic.

Ain't the one who's confident that this will be okay.

I can handle it! It is Katima who is confident that she will not be told what to gain.

"What should I be doing when it comes to the Paleontological Laboratory?

When it comes to arriving soon, Chris asks tilting his neck.

"Chris just needs to stay still!

"... okay?

"I mean, there's not much else to do..."

When Katima answers, she laughs bitterly and Ain goes on too.

"Yeah. After Mr. Katima talks administrative, I'll give you this found on that continent - so I'm going home."

"I see. So, rather I shouldn't be opening my mouth"

The plan goes fast and we go home to the inn as soon as possible.

I avoided the excess as much as possible.

"It's troublesome to be suspicious. I'm here to investigate that this is suspicious, and that's what this is about."

The stride varies from person to person, but the way you walk in alignment is familiar.

When I finished meeting about the investigation, I blossomed into a public story that never happened

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

When I approached the entrance to the institute, Ein felt a slight difference.

Ist. Great Magic, when I took a trip to that lab, the entrance and exit security were thin out of step.

I was hired to be a gatekeeper for adventurers, but on an exceptionally inferior scale.

Katima said,

"You can't even hire security without money."

- and.

Fully using the royal glory, the three went in light.

Then, he asked me to wait a little while until the head of this institute arrived, and I was put through a very normal reception room.

It's out of place to let royalty through, but nobody cares about all this.

"Even then, the atmosphere inside is a little different."

"... right"

Chris in tune with Ein's whining.

She closed her eyes softly and exhaled Phew......

"Is it underground? Looks like it's a lot of space on the back."

I guess the equipment is divided by hierarchy within the laboratory.

The ground floor is a common hallway with demonic prop lights on the ceiling and inexpensive building materials on the ground.

Ground floors never make you feel spacious, and it seems like a couple of regular private houses stuck together.

At least, even if you just walked down the hallway like this, it's a big difference from Ist Great Demonology.

"Uh, did you look it up with magic or something?

"Yes, I just tried to let the breeze flow a little easier for me to feel"

That's good, Ain laughs.

I'd like to learn when I get the chance.

"What I felt was that unlike Chris, it kind of felt like the atmosphere..."

"Haha...... maybe Master Ain knows better than my senses, right?

She tells me to mock Ain't because she's a demon king.

Eventually, during these soothing exchanges, the doors of the correspondence are opened.

It came from one man - a middle meat mid back that seems to be everywhere, weaving white coats like researchers.

"No, sorry to keep you waiting...... oh?

Laughing and taking his feet, he has, to put it badly, a hella, tight look.

Chris finds himself frustrated with the attitude but endures it before he says he will do anything.

He paid attention to Katima, but in the next moment he saw Ain with a surprised look.

"I heard Her Royal Highness the First Princess is here, but if you..."

Look at Ain and repeat the blink.

"You don't have to worry about me. I'm just here today as an escort."

"... excuse me. I'm just a researcher."

The man seems to have noticed something about Ain, and nothing to be surprised at, but Ain thinks inside of his attitude.

(That's unusual, having a royal... not only Mr. Katima, but I have a calm attitude even though I have one)

I don't feel nervous at all.

That's even what kept the Ains waiting, and I feel like I'm taking care not to put what I think on my face.

Without putting in between, I thought I had a loose look on my face, and he snuggles up.

"I'm late for my application. My name is Neusch and I am the head and head of the Institute."

As Neusch sat down in the front of Katima's seat, he raised his face and waited for Katima to speak.

Did you read the letter?

"Of course it is. We're also looking for technicians in Strom, and for that reason we're also taking a trip to Ist..."

Scratching his temples with one hand, he shows his white teeth and says.

"Nevertheless, it does not seem to me that His Royal Highness the First Princess will be his own work"

"I have other work to do. It just so happens this time."

In fact, she had some work to do.

I didn't lie because I did that before I joined Ain.

"I see. Were you left?"

As always, the man's expression is loose.

He broadly reached out and drank the tea placed on the table with a goofy noise.

If I thought I leaked my voice to my satisfaction, the next moment I let my face faint.

"Though, I was wondering if our lab could help... Because the researchers are actually about five small places with me in them."

"The more the better. Sure, it's hard to get Strom to come."

"Yeah, yeah. So what shall I say…, here, at the Paleontological Laboratory, the…"

That's enough, right? Ain heard voices that seemed to want him to leave quickly.

Katima leaked her sigh with a natural trick,

"I'm sorry to hear that... but I'd like to ask you to do something else."

This is the real deal.

Following Katima's words, Ain put the crate he brought on the table.

What's in it? His gaze goes back and forth between the crate and Katima, he asks.

"... what about you?

"It was found on that continent. I got it from a Heim adventurer, but I need you to do a little research."

He turned his eyes and Ain took the lid off the crate.

Then, what is contained inside is a small potted plant and the figure of the man-eater growing there.

Maneater was so weak and shaking his mouth.

"Huh - you've never seen this...! Is it a new species of organism......?

"I want you to look into that. I'm familiar with ancient organisms, and I'd like to ask this lab, okay?

"... it is. What an honor... because it's such a small laboratory?

The air seems to have changed slightly.

It's a ridiculous story if you ask me, and it's not about bothering to ask a small laboratory.

"Was it Neusch? I know Neusch's past."

"My past......"?

Round your mouth and make your eyes black and white.

"Nha. The researcher at Ist. The man who once served as the chief researcher?

"Ha ha... no, because I was just lucky at the time"

Phew, Ain looked at Katima.

I guess she wrote to leave it to me because she knows these circumstances in detail.

I see it's more convincing than Ein talks about.

"That's good enough. The size of the lab may be small, but I thought I could handle one of these."

In this wide Ist, and in this wide continent Ishtal.

The name of the institute Ist Great Magic echoes. Because it is such an authoritative laboratory.

It's not weird what Katima says, whatever its track record is now, it should be honored.

"Naturally, all the necessary equipment will be royally owned and paid for."

"... is it Master Left, so much so that you are buying my arm"

When Cochri and Katima nod, Neusch comes up with it.

What's the matter, and if you think you've leaned over, look at the potted man eater.

They're attracting interest, and gradually it took longer to see the man eater.

As he stroked his inert beard, he also grinned hella and raised his face.

"It would also be rude to refuse a request from the royal family. Don't hesitate to leave it to our laboratory"

"Oh, that's good."

Did you lose interest at the end, or did you lose your reason to say no and agree?

Whatever it is, Ein's plan must have gone one step further.

"By the way, with the adventurers of Haim, did they send you from Haim?

"That's right."

Neusch looks at Maneater with intrigue.

(... I'm glad I kept my acting instruction)

And, Ein is relieved inside.

I am telling you not to behave too well, being weak as much as possible.

I thought even if I was too healthy to handle it...

"On that continent, they're gathering all sorts of things to Birdland, aren't they? I've bought it from a merchant there before."

"Ho ho, what did you buy?

"That's a very common demonic material..., I was wondering if Ishtal's demons and ecology were different"

Ein thinks you're a good researcher.

I can't believe I even cared about that. And I didn't hate being around to act if I cared.

Though, it's no different to be vigilant.

"Birdland merchants are excellent, too. their ship and delivered it right from Heim."

"Huh!"

At that time Ain moved his body piquely.

Chris saw Ein wondering what was going on, but Katima and Neusch didn't seem to notice.

Chris glanced worryingly and moved his lips just to say Ain't noticed something.

- It's okay, he said.

"Mr. Katima. Time for some free time."

"... nya, nya. Well, I guess it's time to spare you."

And then Ain got up, and she got up, too.

I was just a little confused, but I acted without defying that voice.

"Bye, Neusch. That's why I asked a knight or a clerk to bring me a settlement or something later!

"I'll take care of it. If you know anything, I will report it to you... we will see you later for more details."

- Okay, let's go.

At the end of the day, the reception room was followed by a much lighter appearance.

But this must be the original plan, and Katima and Chris have no such strong mistrust.

Ain't only one person who noticed something.

"Ain't you noticed something?

Continue down the hallway for a while and get out where no one will see you before Katima asks.

This lab, that Neusch guy, he's hiding something.

"Nha...... nya!?

"Um, Dear Ein...? How could you...?

"I thought it was Neusch's mistake, but he said it was from Heim without getting lost."

This is what you two didn't know what you guessed with the hang-up.

Just stand next to Ain walking early and wait for him to tell you why.

"... it's been the same for a long time, hasn't it? Ever since Elena arrived."

"Elena......? What's wrong with Krone's mother...?

It's now. I have no idea.

But the next thing Ain't said, the two of them will understand why Ain't guessed.

"Birdland merchants, their ships are not in Heim.... ever since I, no, me and your mother left Heim"

Speak quietly and speak of the continuation.

"It's a remnant of a state of national disconnection. So, since then, the merchants' ships have only been in Rockdam, in the North."

This is the moment when it turns out there is.

It is a moment when Ain's new purpose becomes firm and what is to come is certain.

(Must have meant there was a deal that I couldn't stand for)

I don't think that alone would be a mistake.

But given the preconditions, I couldn't think of a mistake.

(Dragon Faith, Gold Flow, and... research touching the law.)

The anecdote of the Black Dragon that Leonard was telling plunders the back of his brain.

"I mean, that red dragon isn't alive now, is it? Then I feel like I can't revive or do anything. '

'You're right. So I don't think there's a black dragon line... but I can't close my eyes to what I'm doing'

I thought back to the conversation the other day and finally realized that the conversation was connected.

(revive and execute anecdotes...... I don't want to think about it though)

There is no zero chance that dragon breeds will miss people.

Though in special circumstances, the twins consider Ain a good example.

If you think of the first person you see as a parent by reviving them, you can probably do it... Ain't got to think of that.

"At night the maneater returns. Depending on the outcome, we'll be on board by the end of the night"

"... Ha!

- And a few hours after Ain and the three of them returned to the inn.

In the vase the other day, a man-eater returned with a burn.
