Magic Gems Gourmet

After finishing the shower, Ein sat down on the sofa in the living room.My hair is still slightly moist.She was dressed in rough clothes, and there was some scent.

Phew, sighing, he saw Ishtal, the sword standing at the table in front of him.

"A-a-ah"

I remember coming here.

He forgot because he was busy until today and didn't have time to think.

Seems like you can strengthen it.

A slight tone of voice reveals a story I've heard from Mutton and Shannon before.

Whatever it was, I was talking about using Gulm materials to strengthen Ishtar.I wasn't even in the corner of my head when I was fighting in Strom, and I couldn't think back until today because I was desperate.

I wanted to strengthen it.

But there are some problems.

"... I did it..."

I looked up at the ceiling and looked down.

Ain had lost sight of securing gum materials.Disappointed by the ride, he was stunned, but immediately changed his mood as visitors showed up.

"Excuse me. Your Majesty wants to see Ein-sama. - Oh?"What's the matter? "

"Marco...."

"Something seems to be bothering you.If you don't mind, please contact this Marco. "

Ain reveals the disappointment in his heart.

It was pathetic and embarrassing, but I couldn't keep my mouth shut with Marco.

Don't worry about that.

Unlike Ain, who was becoming saggy, Marco replied with a plain look.

"Our Dir Grayshire Commander's orders have kept Named's materials within our reach.Of course, that's what Ein-sama does near the seaside, where he was able to use his power. "

"...... but maybe......"

"Yes, it was scattered by the aftermath of the battle, but many important materials such as magic stones and fangs are in the castle."

"I'm so glad..."

"Perhaps His Majesty called Ayn because of the incident.Your Majesty will be waiting for you in the meantime..... "

"Thank you. Then we need to get dressed right away."

As soon as Ein dried her still moist hair with a magic tool, she ruffled her sleeves through a pure white shirt that was spotless.

Finally, he stood in front of the mirror and confirmed that he had finished adjusting his taste.

Just before I left the room, I carried Ishtar to my waist, then I took Marco and walked down the hallway, aiming for the hallway.

I have to thank Dill later.

"I was wondering if tomorrow would be okay.From this afternoon, they will be heading to an exercise area outside King's Landing, where they will train the knights. "

”Damn, you're doing well... even though you fought so much earlier...”

"Oh? Didn't you know?When Dill (commander) asks Ain to practice, most of the time, the commander also plans to do so later. "

"--nnh!?"

"You can't learn anything, even if you can't afford to train.After Ayn-sama has taught you some lessons and pushed you into training you as a commander. "

As long as there is no compromise, abstinence, or reliability.

"Previously, the Marshal had his cheeks twitched.My child, I praised him for being too gutsy. "

She's used to it lately.

Lloyd didn't want to lose to his son, Dill, and even if he hated losing, he seemed to reveal his adversarial mind.

The aftershocks also spread to the Kintetsu Knights and Knights, and the training of the Knights was more severe than before.

However, the knights were also standing in a position to accept them, and the knights of Ishtalica were still strong.

Well then...

He reached the door between the eyes, and Marco stood in the corner.

The guard knight who was on duty noticed the two visitors and opened the door.Silverd and Ayn, who sat down on the throne at the back, looked at each other.

Well, I'll be there.

Ain broke up with Marco and started walking on the carpet leading to the throne.

Meanwhile, Silverado stood up just a few steps before Ain reached the throne.

"Thank you for coming. But there's nothing to talk about here.Let's go to the back. "

He invited them to the small room behind the throne.

Ain answered honestly and walked behind Silverado into the room.

There's nobody else in there.

Just the two of us who just got here.

”But... you're still floating in that giant today...”

Silverd, who sat down on the sofa, looked out the window and said.

Behind his gaze is the sea behind the white, and recently there was a larger airship floating in the sky than this castle.

Needless to say, the Black Dragon ship Bahamut.

Bahamut's unusual role in Strom's commotion is new to everyone's minds.Also, the reason why Bahamut is floating near the capital is that shipbuilding work is recommended at sea.

"The light was visible to the rest of us in the castle.I heard Lord Heim saw a strange light, so I contacted Warren. "

"That was amazing. That main gun."

"Hmm. I doubted my ears when I heard that I had destroyed all the monsters that covered the sky in just one shot."

"But it's still unfinished, so I'm going to tell you that Lorraine is amazing."

"Absolutely. Researchers like Luke and the others thought it was incredible, but I didn't expect that many gems to be born in the same age as Ain."

That's why Silverado Warren was careful before.

Now Lorraine holds the title and is a researcher who serves the royal family, but he used to be a researcher at Ichii, who only does public work.It wasn't unlikely to be bought by a foreign bourgeoisie.

------------------

And Silverado looks back at Ain from the window.

I have a lot to talk about, but first I want to talk about Ein's sword.

"We're talking about using gum materials to strengthen it."

Sylvard nodded deeply.

"Dear Left, in conclusion, everything is clear.Since we got to Mutton, we've got to finish everything from end to end - the first queen of the future. "

"... ah, you're working as fast as ever."

“Hmm. When Warren got the paperwork, he just had to write it down.”

As always, I am a quick and reliable woman.

After this, Ain thought he had to thank you.

"So I want you to visit Mutton's workshop soon."

"Okay."

"Well, that's the first story.The second thing to keep going is that we need to reward Ain for what happened in Strom.Is there anything you want? "

"Er... no, but..."

"That's what I thought...But I can't even say that.If Ain tries to reward you, it's not something you're accustomed to. "

It's like having a criminal record, Grandpa.

"Yes! I would have used all the rewards when I said I'd make Chris my own!?"

When I was told that, I remember talking about it.

At that time, I was completely out of my mind about what I offered for the price because it was full because I would do something about Chris.

Is that why you should use it now?

Hmm!

"But even if you suddenly say it, you'll get lost...I don't mind.It's what I wanted to do, so I wouldn't feel sick without a reward. "

"No, it is unacceptable to say that there is no reward under the concept of reward and punishment."

"... that means you can take anything anymore."

"Thank you for speaking so quickly." ─ ─ However, I also knew that Ein was troubled.If it's one more night, it won't be easy to wait. "

"It hasn't changed much, that's all."

But I can't think of anything.

For Ain, who was less greedy than he was when he was young, it was difficult to decide on his own reward unless it was a special situation.

If you don't think of anything in one night, you decide to go to the vault and get what you see.

"Your Majesty? It's me, okay?"

Larua's voice reaches from outside the small room.

Silverd answers next to Ain when he thinks he's unusual.

It doesn't matter.

Well, excuse me.

"... hmm? Was Krone with you?"What happened suddenly between you two? "

"I heard you (,,,) are talking to Ain.Marco and the others outside told me how much time I had, so I thought it was time to settle down. ”

"It's definitely settled down.But it's unusual for you to carry your legs into this room. "

"I just wanted to talk to you about business.I met Mr. Krone by chance, so I asked her to come with me if I could. "

Larralua is next to Silvard.

Krone sat down next to Ain.

"--- Yes, it's a schedule around here, but you're like this ---"

"Mh-hmm... unfortunately... I thought it would be a long vacation in a long time."

Ein and Krone were listening to the conversation.

I'm sure the long vacation that happens while on official business doesn't seem to suit me.Had the long holidays overlapped at the same time, the Kings and Couples would have had a relaxing holiday without water.

But that's hard.

There was a lot of overlapping work, especially these days, and there was a monster attack, so that wasn't the point.

"I'm sorry. I wish I hadn't been away with you in a while."

"It's been a long journey, but we haven't been able to travel slowly together."

"I see..." Even when I went away, I used to get a lot of tricks in half a day.I may not have done it in ten years. "

”If winter approaches...... no, we'll have Ein's birthday”

"Um, Grandpa? Don't worry about my birthday..."

The king and his wife saw Ain at the same time as they sandwiched their mouths.

Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

"I won't."

I was uttered out with a strong word without saying anything.

"I can't break up a meeting about the next king."

"Sometimes we want to celebrate Ain-kun, but in the past few years, there has been a side to the event especially for Ain-kun's reign."

"... excuse me." It was frivolous. "

But Ain didn't just say it with reluctance.

I wanted to repay the two people I've been taking care of for so long.

"Yes, yes! Then I'll reward you both for your holidays!"

I think Ain is a brilliant idea, but they both smile happily.

"It's Ain's reward. Use it for Ain."

"Yeah, I'm glad you care about us, but no."

Ain gave up and dropped his shoulders.

Krone, who was sitting next to him, nodded painfully, trying to peek into his face.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

Ain, who somehow disappeared, left the small room and left the castle with Krone.It was a sudden suggestion, but I decided to go to Mutton's workshop.

Chris invited her too, but she wasn't present because she was busy.

----Ein and Krone walking around town were familiar to the people of the castle, but recently there has been more rapprochement than before.When I saw her walking happily with her body in Ain's arms, everyone smiled.

Eventually, in less than half an hour, they arrived at Mutton's workshop.

Looks like he's inside.

"Mr. Mutton said he'd be here any minute.I'd rather come to the castle from here. "

Mutton wanted to play with Ishtal as soon as possible.

Having an interesting experience as a blacksmith, he has been unconscious for a long time now.

You notice the two visitors or the workshop door opens as you walk through the garden on the premises.

"Oh! You're here, both of you!"

"You're here, both of you!"I won't let you escape!? "

"Oh no! Don't you think you can escape!?"

At least I don't want to run.

And when he drains his breath with his bloody eyes and approaches him, that's how the eye flickers.

"But, Your Highness, I have a good story and a bad one!"

"That's right, that's right!Look at our bloody eyes!I haven't slept at all lately because I've been so desperate! "

"That's right! You're not asleep!?Can I go to bed!? "

It won't be long before she gets hurt. If Ms. Mutton collapses, I'll have trouble recovering.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!?"

"Your Highness, please have mercy...!"If you do that, the girl who waited for you long will die....! "

What am I supposed to do now?

As the troubled Ain frightens forward, the light returns to Mutton's pessimistic eyes.But it was still bloody.I couldn't help but sleep shortage.

"Shit... Your Highness is good at pushing and pulling..."

"I'll go home if I think I can't do it."

"Hahahaha! I'll take care of it!"

"I can't feel safe... So, what's the good and bad story?"

When Ain asked, the two of them suddenly got on their knees because they were sleepless and high.

"Mu, Mutton? Would you mind telling us about it, if you don't mind?"

"You're so sweet... that's the next queen."

"Ah, thank you...."

"So, where do you want to hear it from?"

"...... now, let's start with a good story."

When he heard that, Mutton snapped his fingers weakly instead of snapping.

Then Emme, who was hanging next door, said.... keep the item hanging.

"Your Majesty's sword, but our expectations are much stronger."

Ain and Krone were honestly pleased, but there are still bad stories left.

"--What about bad stories?"

Now it's Mutton.

Shearling stood up shaking his legs and wept from one eye.

Emme, who also stood up to wipe the tears passing through her cheeks, was wiping.

I don't have enough materials.

"Yes... I don't have enough materials!"

The ups and downs between the two were too rich because after learning the good story, they realized the bad story.That's what happened this morning, and it was like being dropped from heaven to earth.

I'll get it!

"Oh, I trusted His Highness would say that... but it's hard.It's hard! "

"Yes, just say it.I'll do my best....! "

Then Emme took out a piece of paper and handed it to Ain.

"The material we need is a special charcoal called Kongji (,,,)"

"Charcoal?"

"Yes... It's charcoal that produces incredible thermal power, but it's a fabric that's so legendary among Dwarves that it's hard to prepare..."

"It's okay. I'll try my best. So, where can I get that Deva Tree?"

"... deeper than Bart, further northwest from the middle of the continent."

Ain looked at Krone face to face.

Are you okay? Do you have enough room to go?

Don't talk to me. I asked.

"I think I can manage..." Nowadays, there are airships, so it's easy to work with time. "

"Thank you, Mr Mutton. I..."

"No, it's not, Your Highness."

─ ─ Huh?

"Deva Trees aren't earned by defeating monsters, but they grow somewhere."

I wondered what kind of material it was, and Ain tilted his neck.She turns to Krone for help, but she shakes her neck and feels sorry.

"How do I get it?"

"It's a gem made by the legendary Huorn (,,,,,,,).He's the owner of the mountain in the region who's also supplying the Huorn team with materials.... "

In other words, it is a rare monster that can interact with words.

Moreover, if you are deeply involved with people, you don't know what the problem is.

"Why is that a problem?"

When Ein visited, Mouton raised his face and pointed to himself.

"I've only met him once."I swear to God.He's bigger than me. "

I thought it was outrageous. I thought it would be tough to negotiate.

I mean, Mutton. More paranoid than this Mutton... If you say it's tough, even when the royalty walks by, I can't expect a good answer.

Ain didn't feel like giving up.

"But I'm going to go."

"... yes, that's right! Shhhh! Your Highness is the Demon King of Dry Add, so maybe you can do something about that Fuorun!?"

"Okay, sure it is!?The one who said "Deep-fried Emme" might be able to handle it! "

(Did they say fried chicken...)

Ein's hand twisted on her cheek, and Mouton gripped it vigorously with a smile.

"Please, Your Highness! I'll reinforce the Ishtar once you bring me the Deva Tree!"

That said, Mutton goes back to the workshop with Emme.

Ain stretched out his hand without strength, grabbing the sky, and eventually drowned his hand.At the same time, the sound of the workshop door closing echoes and is completely left behind.

"We both seem to be sleepy. Shall we go home?"

"... I see."

"And there's nothing we can do without the materials."

"Yeah, I'm sure it is.... and it was kind of fun. "

"As a matter of fact, so am I. I'm sure it's about time we both fell into bed."

"Fufu, I think so too."

Ain put his arms together with Krone and returned to the path he came from.

Meanwhile, Ein opens her mouth while she stops by the harbor.

"Speaking of which,"

"Yeah, what?"

"The place Mutton and the others were talking about just now is quite far away, isn't it?"

"I see... the royal family hasn't been able to be happy for a while.Quite a bit, it's an area where there are nobles who go there to make ends meet, but it's still too far away to get there easily. "

"Hmm? Why would a nobleman go to school?"

"Looks like there's plenty of hot springs. There are many kinds, and it's good for the body."

Hearing this, Ein remembers...

That's what Larra and Silverado were talking about before we left the castle.

(Hasn't your royal family been happy for a while?Still, the hot springs... are nice... hot springs...)

Ain?

"I'm sorry, just thinking about it. By the way, is it safe or dangerous?"

"It's not as dangerous as it seems.The royal family was lucky a while ago, so I think it would be fine if the security system were put in place as usual. "

"Nh, thanks. Then I feel like I can handle it."

Ain looked up at the castle.

(I may not be able to ask for this from Prince Wang...)

There's only one thing I think about.

As Larua used to say, I sometimes thought of travel as a word.

(Family vacation.....)

Ain talked to Silverado and the others several times when he was young.

When I get the chance, I want to do a family vacation.

”I haven't been lucky for a while... my reward... strengthening my sword...”

"I think it would be a good idea to add a thank-you note from your minister."

"I see... Krone?"

"Instead, I don't know when I'm going to be next if I don't do it right now.So I think we should definitely keep it for now. "

"... you know exactly what I was thinking."

"Fufu, I told you so many times.I know everything about Ain. "

Ein looked up at her and said, gently stroking Krone's hair, kissing her cheek as she narrowed her eyes.

"I'll take care of what I suggest.I don't think this is going to work, so Ein is going to have a hard time convincing them. "

I'll take care of it. I'll try to convince you, too.

If so, I would like to start acting as soon as possible.

They leave the harbor and begin their journey back to the castle.

Along the way, Ain opened his mouth.

"Even though it was difficult to attack monsters, I wonder if you would buy... disapproval at such a time?"

"Don't worry about it, it's handled politely and quickly. And..."

Krone smiled bitterly at Ain.

"Your Majesty and La Larua have done their best for Ishtalica to this day.Besides, Ain must have been working hard.I don't deviate from my duties as a royal family because I do my local duties afterwards - in my opinion. "

Because of my behavior so far.

Anyone who asks will reply the same as Krone.

When Ein said confidently, "I hope so," Krone let out a helpless breath and comforted herself by holding the hand of the hero king who walked next to her.

When I plan to go to the Wise Cat Mansion and finish it sooner

With this in mind, Ain kept thinking about his first family vacation.
