Rice for Enoch’s Second Expeditionary Unit

It propagates through the cliffs and climbs the slopes that lead to the woods.

Fortunately, it was more supple than upstream, and even I could reach the mountain path without help.

All you have to do is go down towards the foot.

For once, although sprinkled with holy water, Mr. Zara walks with the knife pulled out of his sheath for vigilance. Me, too, followed as I clenched the Demon Stick Gras tightly.

The forest was eerily quiet. Anxiety is stirred up.

It looks like Zara did the same thing.

"... I wish I could collect my weapons too"

"Right."

Mr. Zara's Demon Axe Luxuria. He threw it away before he fell off the cliff. After all, I guess I don't feel comfortable without a weapon.

Would it have been about three hours since I started going down the mountain?

I was going along checking to see if there were any edible grass trees, but all of this is just poison poison fruit. I've never seen a forest so thoroughly devoid of anything.

And naturally, I'm hungry.

"Oh, something seems to work!

Food magic of Demon Stick Gras.

Squeeze the stick tightly and think of the magic formation.

Then a luminescent circular spell floating in front of you.

"Yay!!

Again, it's like an exclusive magic on an empty stomach.

A circle floats within the magic formation. Is this an option? Only one came to mind before this, but this time three came out.

What if it's a river, fish, citrus, or something?

Assuming the conditions for more choices touched the ingredients, they tried a variety of things.

I was thrilled to peek into the magic team.

- Pick the ingredients.

Ingredient Name: Kawagi (Tartaruga)

Ingredient Name: Kawagi (Tartaruga)

Ingredient Name: Kawagi (Tartaruga)

No way, the three choices of the river (Tartaruga)!! No, a choice.

Why did three choices of the same ingredient come out, and my anger creeps up.

My stomach was ringing, but only the ingredients were Kawagi (soppon).

"Yeah, Kawagawa (soppon) is a little..."

I don't want to eat just baked kawa-ju (soppon) again. I asked Zara, too, but she had a subtle look on her face.

There's no river to wash away the blood from, and it'll be hard to swallow and eat here.

"Nevertheless, the condition for more ingredients that can be made with magic is not to" touch it with a demon stick gras ""

"Yeah... maybe touch the living ingredients,"

"I see."

I solved the mystery just a little bit, but I didn't solve the hunger problem.

But they have to choose more than activated the surgical ceremony. No matter how hard you tried, the magic team didn't disappear.

Then you have to choose. Kawagawa (soppon).

I had no choice but to poke a letter with the devil's stick gras that said Kawagi (Tartaruga). Then, it is wrapped in a cup of light and a black object floats.

"- Huh!?

but its different than before.

He moved every step of the way, sticking out his long neck.

"Lying... alive"

Last time I was out of breath, this time I'm alive for some reason. How the hell did I get to hold my head?

In the meantime, I don't know if I thought about it, and Mr. Zara caught it and locked it in a leather bag because he was about to escape.

"This magic, what is it really?"

"Strange."

I can only say yes.

We go ahead with hunger.

On the way, I went down the road around fighting with the Spirit, but not a single piece of Amelia's blade had fallen on the scene. And Mr. Zara's Demon Axe Luxuria.

I dropped my shoulders disappointingly, while going down the mountain.

◇ ◇ ◇

We finally get to the foot of the mountain.

If I explained to the caretaker's uncle that I had strayed from my people, he sympathized with me.

Besides, he sprinkled us with soup, bread and fruit juice on an empty stomach.

Quickly, give Sula fruit juice.

Clear Sura's body was dyed purple.

And we'll have a half-day meal, too.

Warm soup makes your body feel tired. It was simple with vegetable shards and salt only, but it was delicious enough.

The bread is hard cooked and eaten fuzzy with soup.

Delicious. The cuisine to which people's civilization is added is delicious. I'm impressed.

"Thank you"

"No, if you go to the village, some things taste better."

Compared to Kawagawa (soppon), it looks like a treat. Makes me so thankful.

"But I'm also worried about the detached..."

In the past year or so, this forest has apparently undergone major changes.

"Originally, it was a forest that was thin green and was dying."

It was a forest that did not bring any grace, but there were mountain paths that connected more than neighboring countries, so merchants and others sometimes passed by. You think that for a long time, anyone else was a lonely place to stay away?

"It was a year ago that there was a change. It became an incredibly rich forest."

The cause is unknown. People from the Magic Research Bureau hit the investigation, but said it didn't lead to clarification.

"Grandpa and grandma in the village say the spirits are back in the woods."

"Until now, no spirits?

"Yes, the heirloom passed down to the village said it was no longer a mountain fire half a century ago"

"I see."

The reason for the increase in magic in forests and valleys will probably be due to the arrival of the Spirit.

But that point seems not to have been written in this dossier. What if the magic research bureau officers weren't listening? If that's the case, it must have been a shock.

We thank the caretaker's uncle and leave the cabin and drive the horse we kept to the village.

An hour later, I decided to get in touch with myself in the village I reached.

The village is small in size with thirty private houses, two shops, one dining room and two lodgings. I'd rather call it a settlement than a village.

I've never seen a stone house before. It is stacked without gaps and is laid to look beautiful in shades, etc. Brilliant craftsmanship, I thought it looked like a piece of art.

Okay, well, not if you're blurry and looking at the village.

"Mr. Zara, this, it's not much"

Giving you a wallet containing two silver coins, which is your current possession.

"Mel, no"

"Please use"

Mr. Zara must acquire a weapon. Maybe even if we were handling weapons here, it would be expensive.

Let's do some shopping.

I walked into a store-like store for everything in one of the two shops.

"There you are."

An unfathomable old shopkeeper calls out in a completely unwelcome voice.

The store was cluttered and dusty and stacked by type, including shoes, bags, books and carpets on clothes.

Zara unearthes shirts, trousers, etc. in two thick coats of design yarn (lacine) from a pile of clothes.

"Is this okay with you, Mel?

What you chose was a long grey coat with a white shirt and black trousers.

When you look at the price tag, it's a little more than double the market price. It's not new, it's used, so I got a little extra.

Next thing I know, I went to pick a weapon.

"Ah!!

"This is..."

Zara's weapon, the Demon Axe Luxuria, was sold with a sale price tag.

Even when it comes to sale items, the price tag says one gold coin.

"You must be lying"

"Someone must have picked it up and come to sell it"

I went to protest to the shopkeeper.

"Um, excuse me, that weapon, it's our property!

"Huh?"

I lost it in the woods.

"I don't know."

What the heck!?

Though he was trembling with fury, Zara told him to fall.

In the meantime, show the Knights bracelet showing their identities - but the shopkeeper won't move one eyebrow.

On the contrary, he just chipped his tongue.

Apparently, in a village here with no Knights garrison, the Knights' glory is a pattern of zero.

I don't think I'm going to bend anything, so do I have to buy it?

"What's wrong with selling stolen goods in a single piece of gold?"

"The array is a good piece of black steel. One gold coin is cheap enough."

Plump. Apparently, the shopkeeper's eyesight is certain.

"I'll have to buy it."

"But"

Pong and I get slapped on the shoulder. I would say give it up.

However, the possession of me and Mr. Zara was not enough.

"Then would that be enough?

Mr. Zara removes ear decorations with red small grain gems.

"This is... good stuff."

I wonder, I see Zara's face. They always wore the same ear decorations, so they're not important stuff? If it was stylish, I would have worn something different.

"Um, is that really okay?

"It's okay."

"Mr. Zara......"

If you look at the owner, you smile. I only have a bad feeling.

"I'm still a little short...... yes, if I let you buy me an extra pair of your beautiful hair, in addition to redeeming the item, I'd rather have a half silver coin"

The store owner says, pointing to Zara.

Aside from me, who is a woman, the shopkeeper who rates Zara's hair as beautiful. Seems slightly regrettable.

They can sell anything for a high price to a noble opponent if they make it. I didn't know my hair was for sale.

I remembered the existence of Kawagawa (Suppon), and I took the negotiation to see if I could buy it, but I was told it wouldn't even be a piece of semi copper coin.

Mr. Zara exhales and replies.

"... ok"

"Oh, Mr. Zara, no"

"It's okay."

"But"

"I've been having a little trouble taking care of it lately, so it's just fine."

That's what I said, untie the hair that was tied at the top of my head, and when I put it together and grabbed it, I cut it with a knife that was crisp.

"Is this okay?

"Superior."

I was able to get half a silver coin to buy ingredients etc. although I was likely to have zero holdings at stake. But Zara's hair...

"Excuse me, Mr. Zara, I can't do anything."

"The axe is mine, and never mind"

But, but Zara's lost something important, it seems.

I'm sorry about that, it was kind of sad.
