By the time we arrived in the village of Elves, the sun was setting. The tree-covered village of Elves is already dim.

Greetings to the elders will be later, and tents will be set up first. I want to get set up quickly and get dressed quickly. Dry clothes make me sick all the time.

I can get dressed around there, but it's pathetic that Leeds can't. I deserve it. My clothes are still wet because it's bad to get dressed just for me.

When it was completely dark, the installation and dressing were over. I'm leaving early tomorrow morning anyway, so I haven't taken out the tarp or anything else I don't need.

Leeds dressed in her room and came out of her tent, so I leave everyone to prepare dinner and summon the elders on their smartphones.

"Mm..."

The elder replied to the smartphone's correspondence, but he doesn't know what to say and is confused.

"Uh, you can say 'hello' at times like this. It's a signal to start the call."

I plan to keep 'hello' popular. It's a tool I made, so that's how good it will be. I'm in trouble if I can't use "Hello." Because I'm going to say it with a jerk.

"Hmm. Hello."

"We're late, but we're at the village. They let me put up a tent in my usual place."

'Mm! Okay! Immediately...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

There was noise in the call. I've never done anything like this before. Something wrong?

"I kept you waiting."

"Oops!"

The space in front of me was distorted and Grandpa suddenly appeared. I have a smartphone in my hand. Apparently the elders have metastasized while on the phone.

Shut up and hang up.

"Quickly, then, will you let me talk to you?

Grandpa started talking as if nothing had happened. I'll go with it. I don't get stuck with this grandfather. Somehow, but if I get stuck, I feel like I'm losing.

"We couldn't really explore it because of the rain, but we could discover where it was probably an important city."

"Hmm...... What kind of place is it?

"The magic of state preservation seemed alive at the time, and it was a beautiful thing."

When I finished, I noticed that Luna was looking at this one.

I just started talking to the elders, but it looks like they're ready for dinner.

"Elder, give me a minute. We haven't had dinner yet. Will you wait till it's over?

"... Hmm. I'm sorry about that. Let me wait here."

Grandpa says, "Here," but Grandpa is just standing where he suddenly shows up. It's bad to keep him standing, so I'll lend him a spare chair.

"How would you like to join the elders?

Isn't that nice, Mr. Coe?

Luna says with a smile. I don't have a problem with that, but I wonder about Grandpa. Maybe I've already eaten.

"Of course I don't mind. Elder, what do you say?

"... let's hope so"

Grandpa answered a little lost. He seems to be shying away from us. That's odd and far-fetched.

The big table was surrounded by six people. Roast beef and potov today. The main thing, of course, was the green bull just now. I was a little worried because it was not mature, but it was deliciously eaten.

The flesh of the beast is inherently mature. I want at least three days. More than ten days, if possible, but it's wild meat, so I guess it's safer to be short.

I'd like to make some magic props to keep you from rotting. The temperature was definitely about 3°C. I know it's pretty hard, but it would be worth the effort.

Shall I try dry ageing if it goes well? The maturation period is more than 120 days. I also need to manage humidity, which makes it even harder, but I would love to try it.

"Hmm. This is delicious. It's delicious. How do you make it?

Grandpa was reluctant until he started eating, but when he started eating, reluctance flew away somewhere.

He eats thinly chopped roast beef in a few pieces. Honestly, I think I ate too much. Our share...

"I used this iron pan. I also use a lot of spices."

Luna lifts the dutch oven and explains how to make it.

If you're going to make roast beef with our handheld tools, a dutch oven would be perfect. But I wonder if there's such a thing as a dutch oven in this village.

"I'm sorry, but the next time you come, bring me this pan too. Buy one gold coin"

It's too expensive.

The gold coin this grandfather is trying to pay is a special object called Kamiyoshi Gold Coin, which is worth ten gold coins in Wangdu. Don't try to give me the same amount of wheat for one light tiger in one pot...

If you're selling a dutch oven here, the fair price would be about five gold coins, just two of them. I don't know if I need it, but I'll bring you two.

"Hot pot is understood. I'll bring it next time.

It's meat of the day, by the way, but it looks pretty superfluous. I'll leave you if you want. "

"Is that true! That helps!

How much should I pay?

Ah... I wasn't thinking about selling because I was going to donate. But I don't know the right price for this meat.

Let's push it with the cost of staying. You shouldn't poorly receive money at times like this. It leaves a lump, whether it is too cheap or too expensive.

"I don't need money. Just think of it as the cost of the place here and take it."

"No, that's not how it works. Didn't you struggle to hunt?

Either that or I had a hard time peeling. The hunt itself isn't that hard. Besides, I still have a ton left, so my nostrils don't hurt at all.

"I also have knowledge of magic props and magic. It's cheap."

"That's the other way..."

Left his troubled grandfather with his eyebrows in the letter (c) and removed the rest of the meat from his magic bag.

I thought I'd leave a little, but the processing seems cumbersome, so I'll just leave it for breakfast tomorrow and donate everything.

Green bull meat is too big to handle. I didn't even know where it was this time, so I cut it in a big hurry, so I also have a little trouble eating it.

In the first place, we don't have the technology to dismantle it properly right now, so we can't dismantle it beautifully. I want to leave all the rest of the Green Bulls to the pros because I can get them dismantled in the Adventurer Guild.

But my grandfather would be concerned about unpaid. Let's get some information instead.

"I'd like you to tell me one thing instead of money, do you have any idea of a magic device that cools things down?

"... Hmm. Then I'll have some non."

Grandpa said so and put out a box made of leather out of a magic bag. It's like a cooler box.

No, I heard it from the source. Is there one? If we can borrow this and analyze it, we can make it.

When you open it inside, it contains a few things like a jar of baked goods. When I got my hands on it, I felt the chill air. The bottle is also very cold.

Sounds like a small refrigerator. It fits in a magic bag, so it only seems to fit as much as it looks.

"Can I borrow a little?

I want to be able to analyze and make it. "

"I don't mind that, but can you do that?

Grandpa asks surprised. Does this village no longer even have the skills of analysis? No, the analysis might be Alencia-specific technology.

Alencia has been analyzing magic props for hundreds of years. In the meantime, I kept refining my technology. That would already be Alencia's proprietary technology.

"Oh, there are two professionals on that road. It won't take long if you're running demon props."

Luna and Lily are former court magicians, professionals in analysis. With these two, we'll be able to analyze them right away.

A broken demon prop takes time to estimate the missing part, but if it's moving, just copy it as it is.

"Uhm... well, let's lend it for a while. When the reproduction is complete, sell it to Non."

Grandpa took out the contents of the cooler box with an anxious face. They said it contained Grandpa's secret liquor. I'm taking out another similar box and transferring the liquor there.

They say the name of this demon prop is' Ice Room '. They keep using some of the big old stuff they have left, and they can't make a new one.

With this, we can solve the problem of preservation. After returning to Wang Du, I intend to head south again when I am ready. Now I'm going to go to a regional city in Arencia in the southwest.

The next journey will coincide with the time of the Antiques City in Milgia. You can have less luggage as you go through the city, but it will be a long journey.

Finishing the meal and the chat, the topic had changed to about the Elf country. Explained the current situation and detailed position and asked for Grandpa's opinion.

"Didn't you have any connections left?

It was isolating the Elf country, an oversized junction. It would have taken months just to find the disarm. Because Uroboros was in the collection, we were quickly found.

"No... Mr. Coe broke it"

Luna answers. Don't say bad things to people. That is force majeure. I didn't break it. It's broken.

"What? There must have been strong state protection..."

"Uroboros was close by. I was going to crusade Uroboros, but I also got involved with a device that was nearby. It was a little accident."

"What...?

Grandpa has lost his words, his eyes open and his mouth open.

Yes. That was an accident. I didn't mean to break it. In the first place, I didn't know there was a disarm there.

"Finally, I'll report, we've crusaded three Uroboros. Do you have any idea how many more we have left?

"Mmmm..."

Grandpa won't move while he's solidified. You can't talk about it.

"You don't know?

"... no, probably up to four left. I rechecked the old records, but it looks like they'll disappear naturally over time. Maybe it's less."

Grandpa answers disguised as calm. There were six left in my prediction, but you look like you're down quite a bit.

The Uroboros I crusaded was charging. I guess when the charge is completely off, it will go out. That's why I don't want to leave you alone. I will eliminate it as soon as I see it again in the future.

"I see. Well, here's the report."

"Um. I'm sorry you bothered to come.

I don't have anything to give you right now, but thank you again next time. "

Grandpa lowered his head while sitting in the chair.

"You don't need to thank me. Buy me a lot more in the future."

This grandfather is quite a guest, isn't he? It is also an important source of information. That's all I can thank you for.

When I finished the conversation, Grandpa left with a tired look on his face. It's dark around here, but I can use metastatic magic, so I'll be fine.

I still can't use it. Too difficult. There was a statement in the palace book to the effect that 'get used to it rather than learn it', but I can't help it because I can't get used to it or use anything at all.

I sent my grandfather to walk away and I cleaned up the tools. Discuss your upcoming plans and go to bed today.

Explore the regional cities around Wangdu for a while. This is the demon prop on the map I made because of it, but the map is white. It was decided to at least bury it around the Wang capital alone.
