Dalya gently spread a watery handkerchief over her lap as she headed to the bookstore.

"I got so much scales, are you really glad...?

On top of the handkerchief there are six glossy red scales.

Slightly different in size, but still unique streamlined like dragon scales, about four or five centimeters.

The feeling I touched was more like polished obsidian or ceramic than fish or other scales. The scales themselves are limp and very hard. Now, the magic of standing up is thin and warm.

The root of the scale, Jonas' blood, which went from red to thin red gradient, was not yet dry.

"Dr. Jonas gave it to Dahlia himself, so I think it's okay"

"But I think I have to thank you properly. It seemed very painful to peel off and where the scales were gone..."

I know what Wolf said, but I really like it.

Jonas said the pain was dull, and he didn't look painful at all, but the blood was running.

Besides, if it was just one piece, I bumped into six pieces in a row. When I think of that dull, damp sound, I get anxious.

In the middle of my arm, the area without scales seemed so empty that it hurt so much to get blood up.

I'm so worried that Jonas might be putting up with it. I really want to doubt it.

"Thank you... I'm going to give you a small magic stove and dried food, but I'll ask the teacher if there's anything else I want."

"Please. If it's something you can prepare here, I'd like to thank you for it."

Even if it belongs to the demonic Jonas, this scale itself is material. I have to check the price and thank you accordingly.

I think there are more injuries than that, but I don't know the price of this scale.

"Wolf, can I show this scale to people for appraisal or production? Mr. Osvaldo would probably understand..."

"I don't mind. Once my brother and Dr. Jonas' names can be laid down."

"Okay. Oh, I didn't say hello properly... I didn't ask Dr. Jonas for his full name"

I should have asked before I thanked you.

Because I was in a hurry, I only know the name Wolf and Gouad were calling. I couldn't even accidentally write a thank you note properly.

"Jonas Goodwin. Randolph and I are distant. However, Dr. Jonas said Randolph wouldn't know because he was out of the Viscount's house."

"I heard your name Goodwin is a lot of nobles, but you're with me."

"Goodwin is talking about serving the first king with three brothers. And I think it's because of that."

I've never known it before. The Goodwin family seems to be a long-standing lineage since its founding.

"Darya, now you've got all the bracelet material."

"No, because we haven't found the heart of the Forest Serpent (Forestrasnake) yet..."

I was answered with a good smile as I tried to explain to Wolfe's confirmation.

"I already have that. The heart of the Forest Serpent is being transported to the Adventurer's Guild for processing. Probably could do it around next week"

"No way, Wolf, did you get it? Forest serpent (Forestrasnake), isn't it dangerous!

"No, I didn't get it alone. I came out when I went to exterminate the thorn demon (Nettle Devil) in a squad, so we all did, and then..."

I went for a walk. I hope you don't tell me like you've been peeling weed at me once. I'm not convinced.

"If not my misremembering, Forest Serpent (Forestrasnake) is a scarce material, less likely to be encountered, and a very strong demon, isn't it?

"Oh. But I occasionally encounter them in the Demon Crusade Squad. This was the second time we've met this semester, and we're pretty strong."

For the Demon Crusade Squad, it seems the Forest Serpent (Forestrasnake) is nothing to be afraid of. Seems like there's a lot of opportunities for that to happen.

Although I feel quite deviant when I recall the description of the Forest Serpent (Forestrasnake) in the Demon Atlas.

"You know how strong the squad is if you look at Wolf...... what's it like to be a forest serpent (Forestrasnake)?

"Close to fatty chicken flavor. It was surprisingly soft and delicious."

"Huh?"

"It was delicious with the sauce Darya gave me."

"Yes......?

I want you to wait, what you're talking about is about the Demonic Forest Serpent (Forestrasnake).

I'm not talking about ravens and deer running around in the woods.

"Um, do forest serpents (Forestrasnakes) eat normally in squads? Was it a very small individual or something?

"I've never had a forest serpent (Forestrasnake) before. This time we met, it's not that big. When I raised my sickle, it was about three meters, so I'm a young individual."

Continue, I want you to wait. How many meters is the total length, if not three meters with the sickle up? It's too scary to defeat and dismantle.

"I turned on the sweet sauce and baked it on the expedition stove, but the fat dropped to a good feel and it was delicious. Everyone was happy."

Wolfe says with a smile, but a glimmer of anxiety struck Darya.

What if it's not because of the Rossetti Chamber of Commerce's expedition stove?

"Wolfe, maybe you're buying an expedition stove and you're not paying enough for your meals at that cost, or you're reducing your food? If so, don't hide it from me."

"No, I'm not. I really don't have to worry about that one. I have a proper budget and food. This time, we talked about how the meat of the forest serpent (Forestrasnake) is good for restoring fatigue and decided to eat it."

"Does Forest Serpent (Forestrasnake) meat help you recover fatigue?

"Oh. It was easier than usual when I went back to Wang Du"

When it comes to forest serpents (Forestrasnakes), there were material images such as fangs and skins, but the meat seems to be quite useful as well.

"Let's get back to it, should I pay the squad for the heart of the Forest Serpent (Forestrasnake)?

"He said he didn't want it because the captain would give it to the Consultant of the Demon Crusade Unit (of ours). They just need you to turn it around for development."

"No, that's not what I'm good for..."

"Because I'm a consultant, I already treat you like a doctor from the squad. If you're having a hard time getting it, you just have to assume that Dahlia is paying for the sauce you plugged in."

"No, the heart of the Forest Serpent (Forestrasnake) takes the place of sauce, what kind of mess is it?

Bad business practices are not good.

In the first place, the sweet sauce was made as a trial when the additional Expeditionary Stove was delivered.

I gave it to the meat when I tried the expedition stove, but they took it straight to the expedition.

"Then next time with another barrel of sweet sauce, I guess' sauce-payment 'would be fine. That sauce was so popular."

"'Sauce Pay'... ok, I'll think about it..."

Ask the Adventurer Guild for a sale price later.

I do want the heart of a forest serpent (Forestrasnake).

I'd really appreciate it if I could get it, but I should probably offer the sauce for the same price instead.

Should I apply salt dale and basil sauce because it will probably be less just sweet dale? Should I add and even give herbal salts and mixed spices?

But in that case, the quantity is the quantity, so where should it be formulated - the worries are endless.

At the earliest, it's not the work of a magic conductor, it's close to the work of a spice shop or cook.

No, should we think of a more convenient magic guide here for the expedition?

Thinking of it as a guru, Wolfe asked.

"There's a forest serpent (Forestrasnake) dried, but there's Dahlia?

"Dry, is it?

"Oh. The captain dried the leftover forest serpent (Forestrasnake)."

Wolf liked the dried food a lot here.

But I didn't know the captain's grate was also tipped dry.

Maybe there's also a dry boom going on within the Demon Crusade Squad.

"Are the dried forest serpents (Forestrasnakes) tasty?

"Normal, I guess. I preferred not to dry. But they try everything from baking and eating dried food to powdering and drinking. Some people used to make soup with spices in the house. Looks like dried foods have a better fatigue recovery effect."

"Really? So, do you want to cook it in a tower or make it soup?

"No, I don't want you to let me out... well, they didn't fit me very well"

Wolf bites his lips just a little.

I tried and bled my nose, I want to keep it to myself no matter what.

On the night back from the expedition, a trial meant that the hopeful burned dry food and ate it in the canteen of the barracks.

Most of the seniors we ate together in the dining room were fine, drinking and cheering up all night.

It was Wolff and Randolph who bled their noses. I suppose it's simply too much to eat.

Dorino, who apparently knew the right amount, had put it in his half nostalgia before baking it on a cool face.

It should be noted that Kirk and another young crew member, who was credited with the 'bloodshed catastrophe', had been laid sideways on the blanketed floor. I felt a little sorry for him.

"Sorry I'm late to apologize but my brother said something rude today"

"No, I think I was worried about Wolf. Because I don't care."

"Didn't they say anything else that bothered you?

"It's okay, Wolf"

Only in the very beginning of the conversation has Gouid thrown a painful question at Darya.

I got an apology soon afterwards, and I found myself worried about Wolfe, so I was convinced.

"I don't want to lose my relationship or get distanced in the future."

To an unintentionally low voice, breathtaking.

If I raised my gaze, my golden eyes stared at me terribly straight.

The moment I felt strongly happy, Gouid's voice would rise.

'You could be Wolf's weakness' - it's probably true.

The man in front of him would not hesitate to fight, as he did just when he made the intimidation, if it was to cover his friend's self.

I want to be strong enough not to have to, but the reality is quite harsh.

Still, I feel sorry for you. But I don't want to cut ties as well, I just want to be next door. I think so.

"... thank you. I want to be, too."

I can't put into words what I want to tell you and my voice doesn't connect well.

Still managed, I answered with a smile.

"And I'm sorry I got emotional again and put out 'intimidation'..."

"No, because I know Wolf was angry for me. I just want you to stop as much as possible. That's awesome..."

I appreciate you being angry for me, but I want you to stop intimidating me all of a sudden.

That makes my liver really cold on top of being unable to move.

Plus, it was worse today than the last intimidation.

I remember the cold and scared at that time, and as I sifted a little bit, Wolfe shifted her gaze softly.

"... Darya, you know, before I go to the bookstore, I go to the clothes store"

"Wolf! I want to get to the bookstore as quickly and quickly as I can. If I give this story one more time, I will always call you 'Master Scalfalotto'."

Covering over Wolfe's dialogue, Darya spoke quickly.

The next time they dig back on this topic, let's sand it from the top and bury it, every Wolf.

"... I'm so, so sorry..."

The nagging young man didn't look up for a while.
