Takarakuji de 40-oku Atattandakedo Isekai ni Ijuu Suru
Talk 177: Clams and hassles
That night.
Zirconia, having finished her dinner, turned her attention to the crate she had left beside her.
The smell hasn't leaked because I have a lid, but once I open it, I have to spend some time in the middle of that smell filling up.
Honestly, I'm quite concerned, but there's no way I'm not gonna do it.
I had never opened it before because when I opened it before dinner I would have to eat in that smell.
Dinner, by the way, was baked bread, salty boned meat, potov full of vegetables and citrus-scented tea.
"... oh, do you count"
In a gloomy mood, open the lid.
As soon as, that unique muddy smell sprang up from inside.
Honestly, I'm not going to eat at all, so I'm going to sneak away 10 of them every night after I count them.
"Ugh... no"
Use a spoon served as a dinner dish and take it out of the box one by one, cut in half.
Sounds like it, when I was taking out potato worms on a plate while counting.
Second, I remembered Titis' finger that touched it with a sticky one.
No way.
This, for a moment.
"... hey me, what are you thinking. This is insane. You can't do that."
Perhaps these are the potato worms of the world over there, prepared by Ichigo.
Maybe it means eating this and keeping it rigid by rescue day.
That thought came to my mind on the pretend.
If that's the case, there's one thing I should do.
I have to eat this box full of potato worms every day until they are calamari.
"... oh, already! I'll do it, you just have to! I mean, what makes you a potato worm? Don't be ridiculous!
Beating the dissatisfaction, pinch up one chopped potato worm in half with a puffy, trembling finger.
Whatever it looks like, it's made of driftwood bugs.
Its appearance illuminated by the slight lights of the candles placed on the table is truly hateful.
"Also, if so, you should have a black on your finger..."
Gee, and just a little, I put my strength into my pinching finger.
Place the potato worm on a plate and look at your fingers.
"... I knew it"
Apparently, the predictions have been misplaced.
If you're a smoked potato bug, you can't just pinch it like this and stick it to your finger.
During the day, Titis asked Kylen, "Do you want to lick it? It reminds me of what he said."
Before I put this potato worm in my mouth, I thought I'd just lick it and check the taste.
Whatever it tastes like, I suddenly feel psychologically better than eating it.
"Ugh... looks like..."
I pinched the potato worm as I half cried and licked it with a pelo and tongue tip.
"... hmm?
To the slightest sweetness I felt, I stare at that potato worm with a strange eye.
Sweet potato worms enough to tell just by licking them?
Does something like that exist in this world?
Besides, I'm not sure because I just licked it a little, but I don't think it smells like it drifts out of the box.
Never mind, I tried to throw it into my mouth thoughtfully.
"Huh!"
Melting elegant sweetness and a moist sweet fragrance that tickles the nostrils.
Unexpectedly, he leaps open his eyes and stares at the potato worm served on the plate with his glittering eyes.
What is this potato worm?
Are there so many delicious potato worms in the world where one lives?
If I could go to the world where Ichigo lives, I would catch him as soon as I found him, even if he was alive, and throw him straight into my mouth.
It was the moment when potato worms (chocolate) reigned at the top of Zirconia's favorites, holding on to the shaved ice that had so far singled out the # 1 favorite ranking.
"Uh, Lord Zirconia. It's me, it's Kylen."
At that time, Tonton, and the door were knocked, and Kyren's voice sounded.
Zirconia swallowed it in her mouth, and took a breath, Kohon.
"Go ahead."
When Zirconia spoke, Kyren in armor came in.
I smell driftwood bugs indoors. Ugh.
"What can I do for you?
"Oh, no, because we never talked alone. I just wanted to talk to you once. And there was something I had to ask you."
Kylen says so, turning her attention to the potato worms placed on the plate.
Wrong time to come, it said on his face.
I perceive the mood from his expression, and a mean thought comes to Zirconia's head.
"Shh, I'm sorry. You were still eating. I'll come back out again."
"It's nothing. Because I was just pinching dessert. It will be a hassle to come back, and sit down."
Zirconia smiles so cutely at.
Kylen took her seat without saying no, even though she looked sincerely disgusted.
"Uh... is that really delicious?
"It's delicious. Why don't you try something?
"Yes, no, fine. Forget it."
Kaylene says no with a pulled face.
Zirconia pinched up one half-assed potato worm from the plate, thinking she was "doing it" inside.
"Really? So delicious..."
That's what I said, zirconia stopping the movement with the potato bug pinched.
Yes, she noticed.
From the box, there is a unique odor of driftwood worms.
Besides, Titis, who ate one during the day, was throwing up unbearably.
However, from the potato worms I had just eaten, I did not have any such aroma.
That means.
In this, quite a few 'hassles' are mixed!
"... Lord Zirconia? What's the matter with you?
Scratching sloppy, cold sweat, Zirconia answers nothing.
Fortunately, thanks to the dim indoors, Zirconia still hasn't found out she's scratching her sweat.
I put the potato bug back on the plate and Zirconia glanced at my fingers.
Nothing sticks to my fingers.
Apparently, that was a 'hassle' right now.
"Oh, I don't mind eating anything. I don't like politeness or anything like that. Never mind."
"... Yep, thanks"
When this also made it unnatural not to eat, Zirconia gave up and extended her fingers to a different potato worm than earlier.
With prayer, pinch that you chose.
"... Ha, ha"
……
Kyren gazes at Zirconia, who is breathing small with a stare at the potato worm.
Realizing that, Zirconia hurriedly threw it into her mouth.
"Huh!"
The melting sweetness spreads across the mouth, loosening the look of the zirconia.
Apparently, prayer has reached heaven.
Zirconia doesn't believe in God or anything, but all of this made me want to thank God.
"... so delicious?
The relief of pulling the 'clams' goes hand in hand with the sweetness of the chocolate, and Zirconia's expression looks really happy.
Kylen stares at her like that in a heartfelt wonder.
"Yeah, it's really delicious. Look, you want to try one, too?
That said, I pinch the 'hassle' potato worm I just found and offer it to Kylen.
"Ho, you really taste good, don't you?
"If it wasn't delicious, I'd be spitting it out by now, like that girl."
"Oh, yeah. All right."
When Kylen received it, she threw it into her mouth, seemingly.
And chew about two or three times, stopping the movement.
"Gu......"
"Oh? Wasn't it right for your mouth?
Kufu, and Zirconia leaning her little neck, laughing in her heart.
Kylen grabbed the zirconia's nearly drunk tea, which was at the table, and poured it down her throat all at once.
I look at Zirconia in tears with my cheeks.
"You're seriously awesome to be able to eat something like this flat. That's why they didn't call me" General Yongsheng "..."
"You exaggerate. I don't just like it differently."
Ugh, and Zirconia smiles.
When Kylen breathed, she opened her mouth again.
"Uh, I'm not here for a taste of potato worms. Because of this, let's have a fruitful story."
That said, put your hands on the table and assemble, staring at Zirconia.
"I let you see Lord Zirconia's armor I keep, but that's pretty good armor. Compared to ours, it doesn't suck."
"Thanks for that."
"But I didn't know you were inventing iron either. Yeah, they call that metal thing 'iron' over here. What about you?"
That's what they said, and Zirconia said, "Oh?," he tilted his inner neck.
If you ask me, it's a strange story to call the same metal invented in a completely separate region, the same name in each region.
The name "iron" was taught by Ichigo and the Zirconians also call it "iron", but Barbell also calls it "iron".
I don't know what that means, but I can't help lying here, so I decided to answer honestly.
"This one calls you 'iron', too?
"... what? Even though it's new metal, you think it's the same name?
"Yes, it is."
Zirconia nods at Kyren, who asks with a suspicious face.
And this flashed.
Maybe the opponent will assume that whoever leaked the iron information at will is inside.
You might think you're deliberately saying that, but the fact is, iron has been spreading to citizens even in Arcadia for months, and everyone calls it 'iron'.
With them, I would have grasped the information that iron weapons were spreading in Arcadia.
But Kyren may not have known before that the name 'iron' is also used in Arcadia.
Even with reports like 'Iron is widespread in Arcadia', that's because we just report 'There's Iron' because we know iron, and that doesn't make it a report that this one uses the name 'Iron'.
Pitfalls in the transmission of information, but did I just say?
"... okay. So, the iron weapon, Titis tells me it was invented five years ago in Arcadia."
"Yeah, but what's wrong with that?
"Is it the same time you can build obsidian?
"... Obsidian? Can you make obsidian?
Zirconia asks back with a look of surprise.
I almost reacted dangerously to an unexpected question.
No way, because I didn't think he was looking into the colored glass that was flowing small amounts into the black market.
Kyren laughs more at such a zirconia.
"No, no, you don't have to be ridiculous right now. Like that, I can't make a beautiful obsidian. I was wondering how you were doing."
"I don't know what you're mistaken about, but I've never heard you talk about making obsidian out of arcadia. That's how I want you to tell me."
"Mm-hmm. Well, you don't want to tell me. But just one genius showed up, and I don't know if this is how technology develops. Even the same person can't make a head like this."
Kylen speaking in light condition.
Zirconia, while not changing her expression, had thoughts such as who he was talking about running through her head.
The other side has Alondo in exile, and he should be circulating all this information.
If so, what Kylen is saying would be about Barletta.
It was at the beginning of the reconstruction that Ichiyoshi took the lead in the development of the tools, but it was Barletta who had moved around prominently since the beginning of the production of the tools to a large extent.
Yiliang was in that auxiliary position, while Alondo and Barletta often acted together in the development of tools.
"I'd love to introduce you to him next time. After all the country has done with each other."
"... you tell a fruitful story and imitate it like an interrogation"
Zirconia puts her cheek cane on, turns away and sighs.
Talking decently like this is going to make me react to something or talk about something extra.
If this is the case, you should have lectured around McGregor on how to handle being a prisoner.
"Hmm? I didn't mean it like that. I can't believe you're interrogating such a beautiful woman."
Kyren speaking in a floating state.
Zirconia looks at him and looks uncomfortable.
"Oh, you say that. I have a proposal to change the place of confinement. I came here to talk to you for the first time."
I open my mouth to Zirconia, who looks in a bad mood, as Kyren panicked.
"It's pretty hard to live here forever, isn't it? We have a room in the middle of the fort for Lord Zirconia. I put a plaid on the window, though. We're moving, right?"
"No, it's fine here."
When Zirconia responded immediately, Kyren looked surprised.
"No, there are no windows here, the smell will stick, you can't use the bath, and it's hard to live. I don't think I need to be in such a gloomy place on purpose."
"I can't stand you Barbaires wandering around. This place, isolated like a prison, will calm you down."
To the words, Kylen shuts her mouth.
How Zirconia became Lady of the Lords was intentionally circulated as a rumor within Arcadia, and Kyren knew that in a report from the Interlocutors.
It is also, of course, well known that she hates Barbell.
To her attitude, the figure of Titis floated behind her brain and stuck in words.
'Cause I'm not gonna move this place.
"Oh well. Okay."
Zirconia gazes at Kyren, who has changed her complexion.
It was visible in Zirconia's eyes, as it was clearly wolfish.
"... I'd like to get some rest, can you leave now?
"... oh"
Kylen took a seat and left the room.
Zirconia watched the door he left for a little while, but when he regained his mind, he went back to the task of counting potato worms.
