I couldn't sleep calmly last night because of my response to the Tyrones. It's still dark out there, but I'm totally awake. It didn't seem like I was the only one...
"... was Mr. Tyrone okay"
Luna noticed I woke up and talked to her.
"I didn't hear from you at all, so I guess it was okay"
"I guess so..."
"Well, you're worried. A little early, but you want to go?
Physically, the time now is about 5: 00 a.m. Tyrone said he was going fishing, so I think he's already back from fishing as early as possible. Wouldn't it be just the right time to wake the Claires up and get ready?
"Right...... I want to go."
"Copy that. Shall we wake the Claires?"
Claire's sleep seemed shallow too, and as soon as I called her on my smartphone, she came to our room. Have a light meeting and leave immediately.
Exploring the signs perception reaction, Tyrone found himself in the harbor. Was it out fishing in the middle of the night, as foretold? Move to port for now.
The harbor was a few minutes away from the inn. As we approached the harbor, Tyrone immediately noticed us and spoke to us.
"Hmm? Isn't that Mr. Coe? Much sooner."
Tyrone says so and smiles. Beside Tyrone stands mountains of fish, large and small. They worked pretty hard.
"I was curious, so I came early. Did your body feel okay?
"Oh, I told you yesterday, didn't I? You're doing better than usual. Thanks to you, I was able to get quite far today."
Tyrone thumbed up, saying so. You seem to be feeling perfectly well already. I don't see any sequelae either. You won't have to worry about this anymore. But it must be sickness. In that state, I didn't want you to go too far.
"Don't push me..."
"It's not impossible. I'm rather in excellent shape. Don't work hard today, when are you going to work hard!
Tyrone says in a powerful tone. Sounds like I was just too worried. The panacea with Wyburn's horns seems to work better than I think.
"Well, I hope so."
"That's right, we caught a ton of rare fish today. Take whatever you want."
I don't care if they say they like it... Tyrone makes a living selling this fish. I'm a little tempted to take a fish that will be gold.
"Did you go to the market? I sold it to the market. The rest is fine."
"No, I'm not going to the market today. I don't mind if you take it all."
Tyrone said so and shook his head sideways. Even if they tell you I'll give it all to you, it's not a very edible amount.
"No, a few is enough. Do you mind if I make the right choice?
"Absolutely. Take a good look."
That's what Tyrone told me, and I turned my attention to a pile of fish.
Although rare, they are somewhat familiar fish. Samma, Hockey, Tara, Sharks...... that's a classic fish on parade. Among them are some eye-catching fish.
Anyway, big guy. I guess it's bigger than my height...... There is a long spear-like protrusion at the tip of the head, with a larger back than the torso. Crayfish tuna.
"This is..."
"Come on, I like the edge of your eyes. Exactly. We get caught a lot this time of year."
Tyrone said pleasantly. I've heard of 'Kaziki tuna tastes inferior compared to the book tuna', but it's outrageous. Seasonal rhinoceroses taste better than bad book tuna. Baked or sashimi, it's a delicious fish.
By "big fish," Raymond said, he probably meant this. I imagined something demonic, but you were a surprisingly normal fish.
"I don't know when, but I've heard it's a hard fish to catch. Isn't that great?"
"You seem to like it. Then take this."
I'd love to, but probably the selling price would be high. Can I have it?
"Are you sure? It's expensive, isn't it?
"I don't mind. I told you, you can take it all."
"Sorry...... Then I'll take this. Thanks."
I think it will take a few days lightly to eat out one of these. There are other fish I care about, but this is enough for one.
"Is that all you need? Take more."
I appreciate you saying that, but I'm just gonna let it rot even if I get it this way.
"I can't. I can't eat that much."
"You can hand it out to someone you know, or make it someone's souvenir, right?
Tyrone really wants you to take it. Well, is it rude on the contrary to keep saying no more? Sweet for your words, let's have it all.
We can eat the kaziki and donate all the rest to the Elf village. I can't eat fish in an elf village, so I guess I'll be delighted.
"Okay. If that's all you have to say, thank you."
"Well, I have a ship to clean up. I'll see you later. Thank you very much to Mr. Coe and the others. Thanks."
I hear Tyrone still has work to do. Is it bad to interrupt? Let's hear one thing you want to hear and get moving.
"Welcome and thank you for all the fish. By the way, I'd like to buy a souvenir, but don't you know a store that sells dried food?
It's a souvenir to give to Irvin and Lumia. Even so, we eat, too. I already got fresh fish, so I want to buy processed food next time.
"If that's the case, go to the house there. Grandma's making dried food."
Tyrone says, pointing to a tired house nearby. There is a thin light leaking through the window. I think it's still pretty early, but they're already open.
"Thank you. That'll help."
"Or you can go that way. Grandma's making a bottle."
When I thanked him lightly, Tyrone just covered his words. Looks like there's another store I recommend.
"I see. I'll just go"
Both tired wooden houses. At first glance, it looks like a normal private house. I guess it's handmade on a small scale. First, walk towards the first house you were told. As we approach, something smells like rot.
I hear the source of the smell is in the store. I'm a little scared, but I'll never open my mind. Then a strong odor popped out of inside.
"Ouch!"
"... what is this smell"
"My nose seems to lift..."
Luna and Leeds are right, the stench is terrible. I feel like I've been thrown into the sewer. Is the fish rotten?
"Oh, this smell is a specialty made in this city. It's a dry fish named Magpie. They're gonna broil it and eat it."
Lily seemed to have an idea of the source of this smell and explained it gently to me. Sounds like crappy stuff. Sure, I think it will be sunny rather than dry normally... but it doesn't smell like an appetite.
"Food......? This doesn't smell like food, does it?
Claire seemed to agree, wrinkling between her eyebrows and complaining.
As there is no other way to smell it, the key is flavor. It stinks and it doesn't taste good. Then I just can't buy it.
"So, is it delicious?
"I'm talking about liquor lovers... I've never eaten either. I don't care if people ask me what I think of the flavor."
You haven't experienced Lily either...... The smell sucks, I don't know what it tastes like - one silver coin for one. Not that expensive, but buying this is a bit of an adventure. What if it tastes like you can't eat it...
"There you are. Chill out?
From behind the store, a crooked old lady appeared all the time.
"No, I'm a little lost. I don't know what it tastes like."
"The smell is unique, but I guarantee the taste. No. It's definitely gonna be a habit."
This never smells like 'personality'. Destructive or destructive... it stinks terrible anyway.
"Hey, let's buy it. This smell bothers you the other way around, huh?
Leeds is curious to get on for some reason. It's a hunk of curiosity...... I'm a little concerned, too. You might want to try it.
"Right. Let's buy it."
"Maido"
I gave my grandmother money and received ten dried goods. I don't feel like buying too much, but if it doesn't taste good, I'll donate it to the Elf Village. It's not harassment, because one or so people seem to like it.
I left the store after I bought it. But it's a little tight that souvenirs are just crumbs.
"Well, let's go to one more house."
The preserved food here doesn't seem that expensive, so it's okay to buy some extra food. If I have any excess, I will push it all into the village of Elves.
The smell diminishes as you leave the dry goods store. Surrounded by the smell of the sea, it's a normal port town. What if the next store stinks too... I've been thinking about it, but it seemed like a hard time getting over it and it helped.
When I opened the store door, I immediately heard a crouched voice.
"There you are."
Turning his eyes to the Lord of his voice, he had a grandmother who looked just like him.
"Is that it?"
"What's up? Is there anything on Non's face?
Grandma says surprised, but I'm the one who's surprised.
"No, because I looked just like the old lady I met..."
"Hmm, did you go to that stinky dry goods store? I'm not Noon's sister. I haven't seen her in a while because she smells so bad."
They were sisters. And he's too similar, so maybe he's a twin. You look alike, but the contents are not alike at all. This old lady recognizes the sawdust as' stinking '. This guy's sense of smell seems normal. Well, I guess we can expect the merchandise here.
"Oh well, were you sisters? I'm convinced. By the way, I heard you're selling bottles, what are you selling?
"You'll see."
Grandma said so, pointing her jaw at the shelf placed on the wall. The bottom is lined with various bottles, large and small. There are bumps, not just bottles. But I don't know what's in it just from looking at it. Naturally I don't know what's in the bump, but the bottle also just contains something gray dropped.
"You can't just see it. What's in it?
"What, you lords are amateurs... I thought you were a merchant."
Grandma says looking a little fed up. Looks like you thought we were a line of merchants. If you're a professional merchant, they can tell you what's inside.... Muli, right? Esper.
"I'm sorry. We're normal adventurers. Tell me what's in it."
"The bumps are pickled crabs, the bottles are pickled herring and squid. Both are soaked in salt and garm"
The contents seem like normal ingredients, but there are words out there that I'm not used to hearing. I wonder what......
"Garm?"
"This is it."
When I asked her a question, she grabbed a knob nearby and opened it. A little smelly smell leaks from inside. Looks like fish soy. Fish soy imagined something more stinky, but this doesn't look so stinky.
If you have this kind of condiment, I'd love to buy it. Right now, the only seasoning we have is salt and a little sugar. With this, cooking variations spread much wider. Besides, it should go well with pheasant tuna.
"Heh, you're not selling this seasoning?
"Well, are you interested in this? As a matter of fact, Noon makes these too. It's in the corner of the shelf."
Grandma says, shifting her gaze to the shelf. At the end of that line of sight is a bump about volleyball. They have fish soy in them. I think it's a good amount, but I would run out of it in a month if I used it every day.
"Uh... what is this?
Luna didn't seem to come pinned when she saw the real thing, and she asked, tilting her neck.
"It's a seasoning made from salt and fish. It's great for fish dishes, so you should buy it."
"I see..."
It was an appropriate explanation, but Luna convinced me right away. I made a purchase decision.
"Well, let's buy it all the way"
I couldn't check the other bottles, but if they were soaked in this fish soy sauce, it wouldn't be like crumbs. This old lady doesn't seem to like the smell.
The bottle was slightly overpriced with five silver coins, but I can't help it because the container is expensive. I received 10 bottles and knobs that caught my eye and left the store behind.
It's a freshly caught fish, so I want the fish I got delivered to the Elf village by the end of the day. I guess I should go home this afternoon...... Say hello to Tyrone and Raymond and go home to Elminsur.
