Takarakuji de 40-oku Atattandakedo Isekai ni Ijuu Suru

Meanwhile, around that time.

In the mansion's living room, Ichirano wrote down items to be sourced in Japan on his university notebook.

Zirconia sits next to him, peeking at his notebook from the side.

Balin seemed distracted to be in the same seat and was pulling into the bedroom.

"Glass cups, fertilizer and... oh, do you still have cosmetics?

Zirconia was given several types of cosmetics, but nearly three and a half months have elapsed since I last gave them to her.

If I use it every day, it's about to go away.

"Surely that's the last one you're using right now. I guess that's about half left, too."

"Then I'll bring extra. Did you like it?

"Hmm... they were all very comfortable to use, but if you mention it, I'm using them now. This is it."

Zirconia removed the white container of moisturizing gel from the luggage bag she had left nearby and handed it over nicely.

I remember that being the only one more expensive for the head than anything else.

"Hmm, then I'll bring you some of the same ones as this. I'll bring some others, so give it a try."

"Thank you. My skin has been doing so well since I started using the cosmetics I received, I look forward to seeing the mirror every morning."

When she said that and Ichigo looked at Zirconia's face, she did look shiny and firm on her skin and moisturized.

Zirconia grinned, seriously observing that the difference in ingredients would still affect the truth.

Unexpectedly, I rush my gaze back to my notebook.

"Uh, uh, I wonder what else we need. You should have some bathing detergent."

"Right. I'm glad I have because I've run out of them already. And you're about to run out of hair detergent."

"Okay. We'll have more next time."

We must prepare not only the zirconia and the lease, but also the minutes of Valletta and Eira.

I hadn't given Marie anything yet, so I write quite a bit more on my notebook as I think about giving it away with me on this occasion.

"Is this what the daily necessities are? And then there's groceries and hobbies..."

"Um, I'd like to ask you one thing."

Zirconia opened her mouth as she wrote rice and meat as she remembered the stock in the freezer.

"Could Mr. Kazra's food products have the same effect of rapidly restoring health as the medicine you used to have?

When Ichiya accidentally stopped her hand and turned to Zirconia, her eyes met.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Was it a secret?

Zirconia with a troublesome bitterness.

It is clear that it is completely out of the way of saying it, so Ichigo nodded with a notion.

"... for once, it was a secret"

In retrospect, Zirconia had been given a pack of oyster ice in addition to the cans she had been fed during the tasting.

That shouldn't be a lot of nutritional value in itself, but I should have eaten both so I would have consumed quite a bit in calories.

We also gave her Lipo D together at that time, but I guess she didn't drink that.

Still, it was the next morning and my health was recovering, and maybe I thought this was it.

"I'm so sorry. But I'm really curious."

Zirconia said so, his eyes on the notebook.

"Usually, that's why Mr. Kazura only eats the food he brings in himself."

Zirconia says, as in solitary, not in the tone of asking.

"Please. Can you share that food with me, too?

"... why do you want food? Can't it be a pill?

"I want power. So it has to be food."

To a narrative that seemed to know everything about it, Ichigo felt something cold running on his back.

Zirconia, as always, stares at the notebook.

"Please, give me strength. powerful power as the people of this village possess."

"Get the power, what are you going to do? What do you need help for?

"We need the power to kill them. The power to kill all those who attacked my hometown."

"... have you been able to identify them?

"I haven't done it. I don't even know where he is or what his name is."

To that answer, Ichigo turns his gaze to Zirconia.

"But we know that the masterminds of those who attacked us were those of Barbell."

"That's all the information, what are you going to do?

"I will kill every one of them in Barbell."

Zirconia, sayin 'farewell, turned her face in good stead.

Back to back with the tragic words, the expression was smiling thinly.

"That's what I have to do with this hand, too, whenever possible. 'Cause maybe they're all over it."

"Such an unscrupulous..."

"Yes, you're unscrupulous"

Zirconia smiled softly, shifting her gaze to the burning firewood.

The blurry, swinging orange flames make her red eyes even brighter.

"I've been looking for them ever since, but I can't even grasp that shadow. I'm sure you won't be able to find it anymore. But that's the only way."

……

"Stupid thing, you're saying"

I couldn't find the words to call, and Ichigo was silent.

Zirconia also says nothing and stares at the flames.

A painful silence was wrapping the place up.

"When did you notice about the food?

I couldn't stand the silence, and Ichigo asked.

"Earlier."

"Huh?"

When Ichigo had a decent face, Zirconia looked to the kitchen with regret.

There, a large cloth bag is placed.

The contents are foodstuffs such as bags and cans of rice previously brought in by Ichigo.

"Even though there is enough food to pick up in the village, there were signs in this house that Mr. Kazra used the food he brought in as a regular food. Food stories that come up in the legend and how Marie has been here lately. Besides, given the rigidity that we have for the people of this village, it makes sense to think so."

"Maybe, did you camouflage?

"Yes."

"... ha"

"I'm sorry."

Zirconia drops her gaze to her knees.

Ichigo glanced at her like that when she put her head on.

"Did you come with me to the village to make sure we were talking about food?

"Half of it is. Thought maybe we could check."

"... half? What's the other half?

"I didn't want to leave Mr. Kazra, did I?"

"Huh!?

When Ichiyoshi raised her voice unexpectedly, Zirconia turned her face in surprise.

And I laughed bitterly, guessing the meaning of that voice.

"Excuse me. That's not what I meant."

Then what do you mean, a good face like that gave Zirconia a troubled look.

"For a while now, when I was beside Mr. Kazra, my heart became very at ease... and I wanted to be close to him for a long time. Probably the same for the others."

"Others, too, is it?

Leaning his neck, Zirconia nods.

"Even Ayla, Marie, Narson and Isaac seem to be staying sloppy when they report to Mr. Kazra on something and visit the room frequently. I was wondering if Mr. Kazra did something...... isn't he?

When Ichigo heard that far, he punched his hand, Pong.

Look at that, Zirconia tilts her little neck.

"Maybe that's what's causing this"

Ichigo pinched the aromatic pendant hanging on his neck and put it close to his nose tip.

From the pendant there is a hint of gentle lavender.

"That pendant, is it?

"Yep. There's a cloth in this pendant stained with a special drug solution..."

Ichiyoshi tried to say that much and for some reason he stuck his mouth out when he realized he was talking perplexing to the extra.

I don't mean to be guided otherwise. Yet I often feel like talking to Zirconia has me mouthing off to something extra at some point.

"Not only do you take medicines and food, but you also have medicines for those purposes..."

Zirconia said so, reaching out and touching the pendant.

"May I see it?

"Yeah, yeah. Fine."

Ichiyana removed her pendant and handed it to Zirconia.

She stares at it, fingering at the picture of the flower being carved.

"Beautiful flower painting...... and that's a very reassuring scent. I think something is different even though the hair cleanser I received smelled similar."

"I think it's the difference in ingredients. Because even the same fragrance shouldn't be the same until it's effective."

If I can't help hiding it now, Ichigo gives up half the time and explains it.

Zirconia nods as convinced and looks at the pendant.

"Can I open it?

"Go ahead."

When Zirconia removed the plug on the pendant, she removed the folded cloth from inside.

"... oh?

Spread it out, it was a bracelet embroidered with white thread.

"Oh, you had a bracelet in there. I didn't even notice."

"Who's this from?

"It's Mr. Barletta. I got it when I left for Isteria from the village."

"Were you... didn't you realize this was in there before?

"Yeah, I never noticed it at all because I always opened the lid and dragged the drug solution directly"

When Yi Liang answered, Zirconia gave a slightly mean look to Yi Liang.

"Really... So, what do you do?

What do you want me to do?

"This is it. White embroidery, right?

Put the bracelet on the palm of your hand and make it look good, Zirconia says.

"Mm-hmm... that's what you put me in for the pendant, and I'm going to use it as it is. It's an amulet, and I think we'd be together if we wore it."

"Huh?"

When Zirconia leaked her pompous voice, the entrance door opened and Barletta and Reese returned.

Surprised by the sound, Zirconia grabs the bracelet and hides it.

Reese was already in her sleeping clothes, weaving a cape from the top.

"Sorry, it's late. Mother please come in next.... What's wrong?

"Ugh, yeah, it's nothing."

When Zirconia stood up, she went outside with Barletta in exchange for Reese.

"... what were you talking about?

Reese goes up to the living room and sits next to a good one.

"Oh, yeah, a little talk about smelling good from the pendant I'm wearing."

"Hmmm...... so where is that pendant?

Reese says so, gently poking her index finger at the good chest where the pendant is always shaking.

"Oh, you seem to have taken it, Mr. Zirconia"

"... I don't think so, but if I did something weird to your mother -"

"Oh, you can't do that!

Unexpectedly, Ichigo answers Liese, who says that in the face, with a cold sweat.

"Liar, even a joke. Don't take it seriously."

Ichiyoshi sighed in a sneaky manner to Reese, who smiled and said so as soon as he could.
