Rice for Enoch’s Second Expeditionary Unit

─ ─ People, many!!!!

I watched the popularity of Antique City sweetly.

I thought merchants and tourists were just hanging out a few streets, and that's not true.

"Yikes, my ears, my ears!"

There's no gap between my pointy ears being free. Ears have been squashed by passers-by since earlier.

"Squirrel Guard...... Mel, over here"

If I was about to be swallowed by people's waves, Deputy Berley would hold my hips and protect me.

I mean, Lieutenant Berley, like I forgot to set up an undercover investigation right now?

Occasionally, you're adorable that there's something natural about that!

Oh, my God, not if you're thinking about it.

"This is, what kind of outlet, what is it!?

"Apparently, they're selling porcelain"

"Ji, what's a jiki?

"A vessel. Pottery is a vessel made from soil, but porcelain is a vessel made from stone."

"Heh-heh."

"When I play with my fingertips, they sound clear"

The art of making porcelain doesn't seem to be in this country, and some things seem to be bought off by aristocrats or something.

"So if you're for resale purposes, is this how you're turning it back?

"Some of them are relatively inexpensive and can be purchased, so I guess they are gathered for that purpose"

"Hey, I see."

I want to see porcelain too!

Even though I was surprised to come to Wang Du and just look at the thin pottery, the porcelain seems to be thinner than that.

By the way, the one I used inside the Fore Elf... is a earthenware.

Drop the pottery on the floor, but it won't break. If you're unlucky, you can crack it, but the strength goes further up the earthenware.

The earthenware, don't on the ground! And I just put it down, and there were times when it would crack.

It's a delicate vessel.

"─ That?

From the gap between people, I can see the earthenware I'm used to seeing.

"What's up?

"That's similar to the earthenware that elves make"

There was a brown barbecue kettle for sale.

Lieutenant Berley drew people together and approached me.

"This, after all, is an elf earthenware"

It comes with the price of five silver coins, even though the edges are a bit missing and the shape is distorted.

"My lady, your eyes are high. It's a rare, fairy pot."

It seems to be a very rare item, and it comes with such a high price.

Or that I'm a fairy (elf).

The pointy ears don't seem to be visible to the shopkeeper.

"The ancient letters here say," May you be happy, "

Lies. Written in ancient letters were not spells either: "May it last". Too much earthenware to crack, so I guess I wrote a small wish.

But it is certainly an earthenware of old times.

While talking to the store owner, Lieutenant Berley was checking for suspicious merchandise.

When I look at him, he's shaking his neck from left to right. Apparently, the store here isn't one that sells illegal drugs.

"Uh, thank you."

I thanked him and left the store.

Lieutenant Berley holds me all the time and whispers in a low voice that I can't hear around me.

"Squirrel Health Soldier, like this, you will look into every house, but it would be helpful if you would talk to the store owner and distract him, as you did earlier"

"Ri, roger, Death."

Lieutenant Berley is whispered with a nice voice, so it lights up.

I'm on a mission, so it's not like I care about that.

After that, I went around the area in charge, but didn't find a very suspicious store.

Along the way, there was a brooch of birds that I really liked, and Deputy Berley bought it for me.

"Oh, wow, okay?

"Mel works hard every day. A reward."

Lieutenant Berley smiled at me and put the brooch on my chest.

Unexpectedly, I give you a cry that doesn't speak.

What, this fun assignment?

When I paired up with the captain, they just yelled at me all day.

We then look around at different stores selling glass products, silverware, figurines, etc., but with no results.

"Let's take a look around some other places. If you just wander around here, you'll stand out."

"Right."

A shop selling paintings comes out on the street lined up.

Along the way, I saw Mr. Zara and Lieselotte.

"Is this, yet, not cheaper?

"Oh, sir, no more..."

Looks like Zara's got a price cut on the store owner and Leezerotte's maneuvering to look into the product.

"Then that's enough. Leezelotte, let's go."

"Yeah, right."

It is also brilliant when you leave. It was very natural. Like I'm doing an undercover investigation, it doesn't look very good. Me, too, for reference.

Then it comes out in the compartment selling food.

Busy is the street selling booze.

Here, it seems to be mainly wine tasting. If I had my own glass, I could drink it all I want.

All the liquor that goes on the Antiques City is old, so it's expensive. As a result, there are a lot of people of good standing.

In it, I discovered Mr. Gull and Sla.

Mr. Gal was watching the liquor as he twirled a glass of wine containing Sura.

Sura going around in the wine glass, seemed like fun.

Subsequently, he discovered a store selling poppy (millet).

"Eh, cheap!!

Surprisingly, it sells for less than half of what it was selling in the village of Fore Elf.

Half a copper coin would be too cheap.

"My millet eats a lot of livestock, too!

Except they seem to be selling them as livestock bait.

During the winter season, when there were few ingredients, I used to drink Millet's soup.

Surprisingly, it's delicious.

But I got tired of the crowds first to go.

"Mel, let's get some rest."

"Yeah, that's right"

In the food district, they bought snacks.

It's a dish of fried chicken pie wrapped in pie dough.

I am offered freshly fried.

There's a square, so I decided to eat there.

"Okay, I'll take it"

Buckle the freshman.

"Ugh, oh, hot!

Though I thought it had cooled down better, the one inside is still a snail.

The fabric was crisp and butter was used sparingly.

The beef inside is peppery and very tasty.

Not long ago, I ate it.

"Still want something else?

"No, that's fine. If you rest a little longer, let the investigation resume."

"Right."

Having that conversation, I discovered a pair of Urgas and the captain.

"Jun, aren't you hot? Can you take off your jacket?

"Hey, give me a break!"

Urgas has not been able to be the captain of a squire who speaks in Dos' dominant voice and a pale face boy.

Though it's not noticeable because there are so many people, it looks like a funny pair from the side.

That... could be a failure.

"Mel, let's go"

"Right, right"

Lieutenant Berley seems to pretend he didn't see it.

That might be wise.

Walking around, there's a slight indication.

"Beh, Dear Berry, I sell that store, Millet, for a single piece of silver coin. Isn't that strange?

"Indeed."

There are several stores that sell millets, but that store over there is too expensive for anyone to lean on.

Lieutenant Berley narrows his eyes and approaches expensive millet sales.

"... Welcome"

"Can you show me the product?

"What's the euphemism?

Something's been saying weird. This is not a regular millet sale.

"You can't sell to someone who doesn't know the motto."

"I forgot. Can't you do something about it? I was introduced to someone who..."

While Lieutenant Berley is talking, I touch a bag with a millet.

At the top would be a regular millet. The same applies to the second and third bags.

When I touch the fourth bag, I notice the discomfort. There was something of powder in it, like flour.

"Dear Berry, this is it!

Lieutenant Berley pulled the knife out of his waist belt with flowing gestures and stabbed him in the bag.

Then the white powder overflows.

"Chi!!

The merchant pounds his tongue and tries to escape, but Lieutenant Berley jumps and kicks the shopkeeper over Millet.

Immediately, I was in custody.

Apparently, it's a hit.

I also went around to the store owner and helped him tie his hands and feet.

◇ ◇ ◇

Afterwards, the owner's figure was to be kept by the captain.

I checked the product I was selling using a tester and found it to be an illegal drug.

Urgas and Zara will hear the euphemism and pretend to sell illegal drugs.

Then the buyer could also be caught in the potato potato ceremony.

Illegal drugs are a crime to sell or buy.

That's why the mission was completed.

I get compliments from the Commander-in-Chief of the Expeditionary Force for the manner in which the second unit is handled.

Afterwards, Lieutenant Berley also personally thanked me.

"Thanks to a point of view not found in any other crew member, we were able to solve it. I really, really appreciate it."

No, not so much.

Ten bags of millets arrived from the city of Montretail as a thank you.

"The superiors reported that they liked the crew."

"No, it's not like I like it."

I heard some crew say they like livestock bait, and how did the Montretail people feel about giving it to me? I kind of get hung up.

But the case is solved, so why don't we do it?
