Magical Device Craftsman Dahlia Won’t Hang Her Head Down Anymore
308. Winter Festival Gifts
On cold days, when the coach has a heater, people crossing the road wear gloves and mufflers, along with thick coats.
Under the cloudy sky, Darya was in a good mood to be swayed by a carriage.
The carpenter, a friend of Ivano's, said he went there immediately the evening he delivered the letter to the hospital.
Because the damaged part of the roof needs to be replaced, it will be close to the price quoted, but it was quick to avoid rain.
She obtained permission from the director and finished the treatment the next day.
And yesterday, I received a polite thank-you note from the dean, Countess Mortede.
I was a little nervous about the stunning sealed wax that mimics the shield, but I was really relieved by the sentence, "I can enjoy winter with peace of mind."
I was worried about a lot and asked Mena about the hospital, but she said she was getting food and clothes properly.
Due to the strict courtesy and education of Countess Mortede, the children have no difficulty finding a place to work.
Maena told me to brag about her parents' home, and it was even more relieved.
The speed of the carriage drops, and you can see the white stone buildings in the castle.
Darya corrected her loose expression and sat back in her seat.
Today's meeting at the Imperial Castle, the last monster slayer wing of the year - that's what they call it, but it's actually a brief greeting to the job.
Ivano replied to a letter today, checking the paperwork, in front of a messenger from the Costume Guild.
I was asked if I would accompany you, but I refused. I don't want to put any more circles around his business.
Fortunately, Volff sent me home, so I decided to ask Maina to come back and help Ivano.
Marcella is a Scalphalotte family who teaches earth magic from Bernie.
We already know that the twins born have strong earth magic.
Marcella, his father, learned the magic of earth to prepare for a time of need.
Fortunately, those two seem to like each other, so I'm not worried.
Go through the aisle from the carriage park and get identification and belongings checked in the halfway room.
It has been repeated many times so far, but I am still nervous that this is the imperial castle.
In that tension, when I left the room, I wore a silver-rimmed robe in black.
Five magical formations were sewn into the back, a testimony of the Monster Enemy Advisor.
Honestly, I'm not used to wearing it yet and I'm a little restless.
Thank you for waiting, Mr. Volff, Mr. Jonas.
"No, I'm not waiting at all. Welcome, Darya."
"Good evening, Dr. Darya, thank you again for today."
Volff and Jonas were already waiting for him along the passage through which the permitted man could pass.
Jonas, wearing a knight-dressed Wolf and three thick ashes and a robe of his own advisor, headed to the Monster Enemy Unit building.
In the carriage, Darya checked Jonas' complexion.
I don't think the blood colour is bad, but I do care about it.
"Professor Jonas, I heard you both caught a cold, but how about that?
"... there's no problem, it's completely healed"
There was a moment.
The day after Goeed delivered the ice spider (ice spider) short stick (staff) to Jonas and the magic sword Dark Night Slasher, I heard that they had both caught a cold and fell asleep.
Volff said he didn't have to worry about it, but I was worried that he might have given me a short stick (staff) and sword when he was tired because he put magic in the confirmation and felt tired and his cold got worse.
There was no word to go on and I coughed slightly and was cloudy. I may still have a hard throat.
Volff, sitting beside him, also coughed. Could he have been lying?
"Wolf, do you have a cold?
"No, it's not... it's just a peeling..."
"Please be careful at this time of year as you will have a cold."
Both in the past and the present, cold increases in winter.
Particularly scary in this world is the 'Hayabusa', which seems to be close to the flu of the previous life.
Once in a few years, it can be a pandemic and cause death.
There are medicines that work well, and if you take them first, they will work well.
However, we don't know the difference between a cold and an epidemic, because the medicine is quite expensive, and because the expiration date of the medicine is short, the distribution is incomplete.
"Dr. Darya, I'm sorry to be in the carriage, but please take this."
Unexpectedly, Jonas gave me a white envelope.
When the unsealed wine was opened according to the recommendation, there were two wine brands lined up every month.
"Thanks from Lord Gouid and me, this is the wine we have in stock at home. I'll pick up the place once I send it to you, and there are seasons that suit the brand, so I was wondering if you could take it to Mr Wolf - can you please, Mr Wolf?
"Of course, Professor Jonas!
Volff answered him with a smile when he switched the end of the word to a summoning up.
"I don't think this is enough, but as a 'winter festival present', I hope you both enjoy it."
"Ah, thank you."
Soon after I refused, I decided to accept it.
I only know one name when I see it. I don't know the price because it was brought by Volff.
I'll check the price at the liquor store later, and Darya decided to do so inside.
In the large conference room of the Monster Enemy Unit building, there were many crew members, including Captain Grath and Lieutenant Griselda.
There are red and white wines and orange juice lined with carbonated water on a number of tables lined up in the middle.
Everyone stood up and filled the glass with what they liked.
Passed to one hand is a small, thinly sliced white bread with cheese on it.
They divide one piece of bread by the number of participants and eat it separately with cheese on top - which deepens the rapprochement and means they are friends.
Because of this number of people, I probably baked bread in the same pot, but I was a little happy to be part of the team.
"It will be a yearly return - thank you for being able to fight again next year, thank you to those who have travelled, and thank you to those who have supported you! Cheers to the Kingdom of Ordine!
"Cheers!
"Glory!
Follow Grad, speak up and toast everyone.
From there, we had a chat.
The story of the monster defeated, the story of the active, the story of the weapon - the topic unique to the Monster Crusader is told in a bright voice.
I can hear stories about the deliciousness of forest snakes (forest trasnakes), big pigs (big wild bores), and big chiefly birds, but I decided to stay calm.
"I was going to call Jildo at today's 'reflection meeting', but at this time, the finance department was on the battlefield....."
Grath, who came beside Darya, said with a bitter smile.
The Imperial Castle has its year-end accounts, of course.
Besides, I must be very busy with donations related to the royal castle.
"It's probably the busiest time right now."
"Much better than last year. Treasury is cheering on potions."
A blue-eyed lieutenant joke spilled a laugh from the surroundings.
Griselda keeps talking as if she had gauged it.
"Well, thank you very much for your help with the Monster Enemy Advisor this year. I talked with the team and decided to send you two a winter festival present."
Huh?
"What about it?"
All of a sudden, Jonas and the other two shouted.
Unexpectedly looking at Wolf across the street, he looked at us with a very nice smile. He already knew.
"Professor Rosetti said he likes the seasonings of Donoguchi (Asmanoku), so he took the inventory and said that he likes beef. We will deliver it from the store whenever you wish. Please give it to me."
"Thank you...."
"Thank you for receiving it."
Give thanks with Jonas and accept the white envelope.
Darya is the second white envelope today.
The inventory includes miso and soy sauce. They are lined with seasonings like sake salt, spicy oil, fish egg miso, mushroom powder, and more.
Very interesting. I smiled.
Looking at Jonas, the catalogue has solidified.
I wondered what was going on, but he gently tilted the inventory and showed me.
Cows, cows, cows... there is only one line of letters, and there is a column next to it for writing the desired part.
It seems to be all-you-can-eat beef anywhere.
I wondered if there was a choice between pork and chicken, and I remembered that Jonas preferred meat close to raw.
Probably Volff assigned it to me.
"Thank you very much. I'm going to be able to eat until I'm satisfied."
Griselda nodded with satisfaction to Jonas, who smiled back.
"Please don't hesitate to let us know if you're short. I plan to take great care of you next year."
Let's try harder next year and contribute more to the squad - and with that in mind, Darya gently put the inventory back into the envelope.
After today's chat, half are off and half are waiting for a sudden monster slaughter.
Some go drinking like this, and some go home outside King's Landing. It seems to be similar to what I did in my previous life.
Glatt gave me a new glass of red wine when the room was about half full.
"Rosetti, I've taken care of a lot this year. And thank you for all your care."
I was silent and thanked for my donation.
Darya simply smiles silently. This was taught by Oswald.
It seems that the elegance of the aristocracy is basically to say nothing before making a donation.
If I hadn't been taught, I would have been in a hurry when I was thanked.
"Next year, I plan to increase the number of horses with eight legs (Slapenil) and magic bows for ranged attacks on expeditions. I'm also working on improving Wyburn's armor so I can't wear red armor."
That's what Gratt said and laughed.
Transport power, Ranged Attacks, and Red Armor (Scarlet Armor) safety, all of which improve, may make the crew a little easier. I hope so.
"Someday, we can all be Wyburn armor!
That's what the young green-haired crew said.
Remembering the wearable Wyburn armor, imagine it worn by all the Monster Enemy Troops - it seems very impactful.
The monster may be able to escape just by watching.
Maybe Wyburn will stop by.
"Yonas Sensei, this time I need an aggressive spear!
"No, then give the sword more power!
"Wait, we need further refinement of the bow!
"The Bow Knight already has a demon bow, that's good!
Jonas was surrounded by his crew, but he was listening with great pleasure.
I can afford a boulder, a noble boy.
Surrounded by the crew, Volff came next door with a bottle of red wine.
Fortunately, the rest of the crew won't come near us with a crush on chat.
"More winter festival presents, Darya."
Counselor would have chosen two presents, and he smiled with his golden eyes closed.
The first winter festival gift I got was the snowflake earrings I was hearing right now - I was hesitant to talk about it.
"Thank you very much. I'm going to make a better magic tool next year. And next year....."
I met Volff at the end of spring. Hopefully we'll be together more than this year.
A catalogue of condiments from the squadron is overwhelming with wine from Gouid.
"Drink more than this year!
"Oh, of course! I'm looking forward to it!"
The two of them did not realize that the deaf fell down deeply.
