Kaina, a traveler who likes baked bamon.
The figure is big enough not to be uncomfortable to call it the Demon King if it is a categorical cape or a feather weave.
"Is this the cake of this world? I don't like it."
"That's irresistible. The variety has not improved, and the environment in which it grows is different. It's wrong to want the same flavor."
This is good enough for my tongue, which grew up in this world and lived in the flavor or saltiness of ingredients until Sapphire learned to cook.
"Kaina..."
"─ It's good in Kaina. You look older, Mr. Bae."
The eyes that look at people, depending on their appearance, seem slim and expensive.
"Then I'll be fine with the bei too. Previous life is previous life. This life is life. He's a fucking kid, as you can see. I don't care if it's cluttered."
I wonder what it is. I feel as if I've known Kaina for a long time, not Kaina.
"Then let me call you Bei. It would help if you didn't mind the tone. You can't even make it back because all this is land, can you? Well, I can feel sick from the looks of it."
"Sure. But that tone sounds like Kaina."
I don't care what it looks like if you get used to it, and it's easier for you to catch me talking on the ground.
"Bae has a big nostalgia, doesn't he? I'm scared because I look like I'm here, and nobody comes near me."
Kaina sighs and hasn't been so depressed.
"People aren't like that. But once in a while, you accept everything, so the world isn't as full as ever."
I was surprised to see my eyes wide open at my words.
"I knew Bae had a big bowl."
"I'm just going through it and I know it. If the vessel says it's big, so is Kyna. I'm accepting such a fucking cheesy kid."
"I'm still the father of one child and I have two grandchildren, a level I don't give a shit about. By the way, the blood's not connected."
I'm jealous of that. I'll try to be the father of nature.
"Oh, Bae's a sweet thing. Are you okay?
Something changed the subject deliberately, but I said I liked it without worrying.
"Then it's a thank you to Bamon, not a cake..."
and a black octopus appeared from the space of nothing, and it fitted into both hands that came naturally out.
"Juice powder?
"Well, I don't know if it's Kanto or Kansai."
I don't even know, but, well, from what I just found out, it doesn't make sense. You let me out more than that, do you want to eat while it's warm? And I need to get the chopsticks out before I do.
I'm not in the mood to eat the juice powder with forks (which, by the way, dominate the area). I knew I had to eat with chopsticks.
"I have cheats, too."
Cheat, what is it? I don't even think I heard about it, but I don't know.
"Well, someone with insane powers, you know. Bae is a generation that doesn't play games or anything?
"Right. As much as I did Drasan in middle school, I guess. He was a baseball boy by then."
Even so, it was a club baseball club, like playing grass baseball with my neighbors.
"Does Kaina have that cheat, too?
I don't know what the power of juice powder is.
"Mine is a cheat that can be offered in exchange for magic."
"Huh."
You think a lot. Is that your idea of youth?
"... I'm not interested..."
"Well, it's someone else's power. I don't care what I say."
Even if it was my power, my magic wouldn't give me much, and I'm not interested in pointless power.
"Bae doesn't consider this life an inconvenience?
"I think so. But that would be the same in previous life. I can't buy anything without money, and I can't handle it without knowledge. That's not going to change in any age. Besides, the inconvenience is also exciting. Create if you have to."
I was born in a world like that, it doesn't make sense when I complained. Then let's not seek a meaningful life.
"Bae, you're having fun."
"Whoa. It's fun and I can't help it. It's life!
I'm not lying. I'm not lying.
"I envy you. How many times in the city have you been put in a room treated like a suspicious person, scared, rejected, though you have traveled admiring a world you have yet to see? Every day is an escape..."
Isn't that right?
I didn't feel it until I got here, but Kaina's magic is simmering like a magma and leaking out like I don't know when it's going to explode. I don't care if he feels it, he's two meters tall and he's already a giant. You don't have to be a little kid to freak out.
"Kaina, what were you doing before you embarked on your journey?
I can honestly believe he said he was a demon king or something.
"I'm the owner of the inn and master of the Hunter Guild. Well, I retired six years ago."
"Hunter Guild?
"Well, he's a specialty demon hunter. Where I was, there was the Great Demonic Realm of Uranus and the Great Labyrinth of Anilas on the border, and there were frequent outbursts. Of course, there was an army and a fortress led by the Lord Border Army, but that's not enough to contain it. There are demons everywhere and people die. That's why adventurers aren't even close. That's why I recruited hunters to fight the town to protect my loved ones. Use this gun."
I'm not going to say that. Because you decided to use it to live, to protect your loved ones. It's not a good thing that outsiders do it or say it on their faces.
"Are you calm now?
"Oh, the famous border city of the Empire."
Kaina wearing the face of a protected man. But I could also see the sadness there.
"Right. That's more than anything."
"... bei... no, it's nothing. Thanks for asking."
I didn't put it into words, I just responded with a laugh.
"How long has Kaina been here?
"What am I going to do? It's not a journey that has a particular purpose, and I feel like it while the wind blows, the mood of the day. I only came here because the Valkyrian party was flying."
I don't know what the Valkyrian Activity is, but, well, that's where you can't go in there. I don't care.
"Then why don't you live in this village? Actually, I was trying to build a house, and I was looking for someone who could. Of course, I won't force you, and I don't mind if you keep your mind open with the wind blowing. Well, if we're not in a hurry, we can take it slow in our village. You're welcome."
"... right. Something seems to fit with Bei, and slowly, if anything. Yeah, let me slow you down."
More importantly, it raised a tea bowl, and so did Kaina, who responded to it.
"Welcome to the village of Bobra"
"I'm sorry to bother you"
Kachan and I made a toast.
