Magic Gems Gourmet

Yesterday after that, we had a busy evening gathered just for our family and those close to us.

Silverado had decided that everyone was off for the rest of the day, and he didn't have to worry about anything and enjoyed it until just before dawn.

By the time Ain went back to his room and went into bed after bathing, the morning sun was about to go up.

Yeah, it's been a long time since I've slept at this hour.

Shortly after entering the bed, he closes his eyes immediately. I traveled to my dream world in a soft bed, and it wasn't long after that.

Nothing notable. I felt like a dream.

It's a big, no-content dream that you can see at any time, and it really doesn't have anything to highlight.

…………

Is the time around noon?

He twisted his body and Ain's consciousness was about to awaken.

Unusual for him, bedding is curly in his sleeping ministry.

"- How many?"

I heard a small, frightened voice.

But in the castle. Besides, Ain't never going to wake up to that extent when he was resting in his own bed. I would have been on guard anywhere if this was during the war, and I might have woken up if someone had slept next door.

But I'm alone now, and I can't see how that goes.

Even now that the bedding that was rolled back gently, it never changed.

It wasn't until a few minutes after that that that Ain woke up.

Somehow, I think I saw someone when I was asleep. That said, I don't see anything else.

"Uh... slept"

Sometimes I've slept longer than usual, and I feel the best way to wake up.

As he stretched his spine to feel comfortable, he opened the curtain and placed his body in soothing sunlight.

- Chillin.

Ring the bell right next to the bed, then head to the living room, pour drinks out of the water into the glass and drink them all at once.

Dozens of seconds to wait for the service to come.

The one who showed up was Martha, who should still be busy about Dill.

"Eh."

"My name is...... what is it?

"The Grayshire family will be busy, and Martha is out of work..."

"What I have to do is done."

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

"We have already had many holidays to this day. Besides, they're not leaving the King's Capital..."

If you ask me, yes, but can we take it a little slower?

That's what I thought, Ein, but I thought about Martha.

"I wonder how everyone's doing."

"Ladies and gentlemen, I see you're still off."

"And the two of you, by the way?

"Master Katima was able to leave the castle early in the morning. He didn't seem to have told His Majesty anything either. Maybe they were talking about something last night."

"I think so. But, you know... Katima's really out of the castle..."

They're going to climb the castle again tomorrow.

"Oh yeah, that's why I'm not lonely"

Until today Ain has only had a few trips to Katima's room. It was more like going to a lab in the basement. With this, I don't have much loneliness if I think she's coming underground.

"Whatever it is, Dill will be committed to behaving as the next Grand Duke."

"It's all right, 'cause Dill will."

Well, that's something I could talk to you about.

Ain come up with what to do today.

"You know, did anybody come to my room while I was sleeping?

"... no, I have not heard such a thing"

"Then it's not even Mr. Martha. Then I guess it's a dream."

And when I shed some light on the voice I did when I was asleep.

"I'm gonna go down to the jar."

"Oh, what can I do for you?

"Looks like something happened last night. I saw adventurers and knights coming into the castle."

"- Did you see that?"

"I knew something was going on."

"Apparently so. I have yet to hear more about it either, but as of this afternoon, I heard Lord Majolica was going to make any report on the matter. There's still Lord Majorica downstairs."

Mr. Majorica did? Ain frowned but convenient.

"I guess I should ask you in person"

Martha nodded at this word.

Ain said, "I'm coming," and left the room. Meanwhile, Martha, who stays in the room, doesn't just say he's coming, but he's headed to the bedroom to get his bed done.

"Oh?"

end of the bedding, she narrows her eyes to the hair that had been secretly left behind.

What color is your hair......

"Dear Olivia, may I?"

Ain't the answer to Ein's question as to whether anyone came while he was sleeping.

I see, I can snort that one... I'm sure he took his feet in confidence and even spoke gently to Ain, who was asleep.

- And I was thinking.

"But just a little... maybe vibrant"

The color of the hair in my hand was a little brighter than Olivia's.

I felt a little red, but that's not the problem.

Sometimes the colors were not uniform and only slightly different.

Martha was so convinced by herself that she went back to bed makeup.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

When I heard there was a majolica under the castle and took a trip, the majolica was sitting in a chair on the corner of the garden. I was in the warm sun reading a book in my hand.

"Ah, La La La, Your Highness!

"Hello"

"Yeah, hello. The castle was busy yesterday."

"It could have been quite busy indeed. So..."

The foreground was around here, and Ain lowered his hips next to Majorica.

"What happened?

"I thought that was it.... Just take a look at this"

Then Majorica takes a pen out of her nose.

The whole thing is made of crystals or some kind of gem, an expensive delicacy to see. A pure gold pen tip reflects light and emits a presence.

What about this? That Ein is wondering.

"The other day, the adventurers dug it out of a hidden dungeon."

"Huh - an adventurer inside?

"I'm not surprised. I told you before that there have been adventurers like that. It's been a little while since His Highness settled Celeste's case, and if you're an adventurer who doesn't know if you're reckless or brave, it's not weird to have someone to step into right now."

Sure, but it would be dangerous to think of that demon showing up inside.

It's just that we don't all know the danger, and we can't help but have a challenger.

You mean the adventurers were safe?

"I was attacked by a demon I've never even seen - or something like that, but it was the first-degree adventurers who came in, or they left without a single victim."

"............ I hope so, but what about that pen?

"They brought it to my store, didn't they? I don't do much, because I used to do some appraisal work once in a while."

That said, Majorica takes out a single appraisal.

"Only this time, I wouldn't otherwise need an appraisal, but I've written it to tell His Majesty, too"

The appraisal that was taken out was handed to Ain and it wasn't long before he went through his eyes.

Ain unexpectedly opened his eyes and looked at the pen Majorica had before turning again to the appraisal.

"What pen was used by the First Prince..."

"That's Lord Lyle's pen. I've seen it so many times before, I can't possibly go wrong."

It was now found in a hidden dungeon.

At least I can't keep it a secret from King Silvado, and Majorica won't be willing to keep it a secret. It gives me a look that I can't tell you because the circumstances are the only ones, but if I even bothered to prepare an appraisal, I can see that it bothered me.

"Maybe, but really, that guy and Ceres dived into a hidden dungeon. It looks like the inside was going up, unlike before. So I don't know if the place is the same as before."

Majorica, who said, pointed to the appraisal.

"The adventurers say it's twenty tiers."

"I wonder if you were still following me up there"

"Looks like it. Looks like he's back from abandoning his search because of his power and stockpile issues... well, maybe I can explain to His Majesty that it's not a place where God is hidden in the original sense"

"... I see"

If I could be certain that people would never disappear - what would Silvard do?

(Might throw in personal expenses and make a request)

If you are an adventurer who excels in these tasks, you should be happy to take them on if requested by the King.

I can hope for a definite reward, and that amount is immeasurable.

When Ain put Lyle's pen up in the sky, he breathed in the beauty of the light.
