"It's a long way from Gareve again. Why did you suddenly go to such a despicable place?
"I think I know because I'm a graduate, but I actually need it in preparation for the Red Moon Festival"
"The Red Moon Festival! I miss you."
Mr. Fluffy's face loosened. I wonder if you have fun memories.
I think it must have been many years since Mark joined us, but I wondered who he escorted.
I'm sure you haven't even become an adventurer yet, Mr. Mark, the same age as us. Heh heh, I can't imagine, but I'd like to see you. With his noble face, did he dance with someone in a conceited outfit?
"... but that's surprising with Garrave. I don't think it was a very distinctive village."
Mark, who soon got a serious look, asks deeply. Mr. Mark seems to have a good idea of the situation around here, too.
"It would be an area with few specialties and bad roads and difficult to distribute, I did hear there would be thieves out there. It wouldn't be enough place for a boy to risk it, would it?
"You and Boy are horrible, I'm still gonna have arms enough to be entrusted with Chris' escort."
"Still, you stepped on me because you thought it was dangerous, didn't you? You're still a student. You can't do this."
Leo jokes about trying to soothe the air and returns it, but Mark is really worried, he doesn't shake it with his harsh eyes.
"Whatever you want, I can get you the merchants and what you want."
"Um, thank you, but that doesn't make sense, does it? It makes sense for me to go."
Even though her mouth was making a laugh, Leo's eyes were very serious and the words represented nothing exaggerated or included.
"Chris told me about some interesting ingredients brought in by the merchant squad from Garrave, and I did a little digging because they seemed interesting."
"Well, but I heard that ingredient is in season by now. Isn't it past season around the time of the Red Moon Festival?
While I was a little surprised that my story had triggered it, I immediately expressed my concern. You can't waste your legs because you can't look at Leo from the point of his busy schedule or from the point of view of the inconvenience he would cause Mark.
"Yes, Blue Folka and all that was already seasonal enough for the fruit to fall by the time of the Red Moon Festival. But"
"You found interesting ingredients to replace it."
Leo nods satisfactorily at Mark's remarks.
"That sort of thing. Besides, between the mountains around the Garrave, across the valley, and even deeper into Picca Village, there are a number of products with distinctive features that are rarely found in this king's capital."
