Welcome back ~

Welcome back, Kazra-san.

Valletta greeted Ichirata with a smile as she opened the sliding doors and entered the Mansion.

In front of the enclosure, there were many dishes, and Leaze was sleeping on Valletta's lap.

Zirconia-sama was with you, wasn't she?

"Yes, I ran into her on the way home. Leaze's asleep, isn't she?"

"Yes, I feel very tired." I said, "I can't do it anymore," and I went to bed. "

Valletta shakes Leaze's shoulders.

Master Leaze, please wake up.

"Nhh..."

Leaze wakes up and gets up.

Let's serve Valletta with a hot soup from the fire in the hearth.

Eira also went up to the living room and started cooking rice from a brand new one.

The rice is cooked with a mixture of chicken five-eyed rice in the village.

In addition, they grilled river fish skewers, stir-fried tree nuts and vegetables, and canned oranges.

"Ah, Cuzla. Welcome back. Fuuuuuuuuuu."

Leaze rubbed her eyes and yawned.

You're home. You look exhausted.

Ichira and Zirconia also went up to the living room and sat down.

"I've been driving all morning." That makes me tired. "

"Isn't it because you drank alcohol?" You and Mr. Zirconia had a drink, didn't you? "

"Yes, because my mother said, 'Let's drink together' on a rare occasion. The people in the village divided me up. Do you want to drink Kazura too?"

Leaze holds a pottery bottle next to her.

"Drink, drink. Let's eat and go to sleep."

"Fufu, I'm going out with you." Do you want to have a drink with Eira and Valletta too? "

Yes, I'll take it.

“This liquor is too strong for me, so I'll keep it for tea.”

"After dinner, I'll flush your back in the bath."

"That's why I'm in..."

So we had a late dinner together.

In a few tens of minutes.

After finishing the meal, Ichira was relaxedly soaking in the bathing boat.

Everyone recommends it and I get the most bath.

Outside, Valletta is watching the fire and talking through the window.

"Kazura-san, you shouldn't take too much long water today." I drank a lot of alcohol. "

"Right. I'm exhilarated... I think I'll come out a little more."

Because Zirconia recommended alcohol, I drank too much.

Zirconia was quite drunk during the meal, and she praised him by telling him how much she had saved herself and opened up the future of the people of this country.

Every time I tried to stick to one, I was held down by Eira and Valletta.

Leaze seemed to be struck by intense drowsiness due to her driving fatigue, and when she finished her meal, she went to bed early saying, "I'm sorry, but please don't flush your back tomorrow."

"After all, Glicea Village is good." I also felt that the alcohol was more delicious than usual. ”

Ichira looks up at the sky through the lattice window.

The elliptical moon shone beautifully in the sky where steam and other steam were rising.

"Fufu, thank goodness." When I get back to the village, I'll try making sake. "

"Oh, that's good." Mr. Valletta is very dexterous and seems to make a very delicious drink. Don't you think you can make a beer or something? "

"Beer? We need to grow barley first." I'd like to visit a Japanese brewery. "

"Ah. I've been there once, but it was very interesting." "Is it such a big facility?" I was surprised. I'd like to show it to Mr. Valletta as well. "

"Eh, have you ever toured!?" Tell us more! ”

Valletta's bouncing voice reminded him of the time and made him listen.

While we were talking about it, the topic shifted to food.

"I think we can manage the vegetables, but can't we bring chickens and pigs here?"

"I don't know. By the way, I've never tried a creature before." Would you like to try it again? "

“Yes, if you can bring it with you, you won't have to worry about nutrition.”

Valletta talks to them about their plans for food production in the village.

Herbs could have been grown in isolation, so other vegetables would have been able to do something about it.

However, since animal proteins cannot be consumed in this way, I would like to engage in livestock farming if possible.

"Well, even if it's impossible, sometimes you just have to go over there and buy it." I wish I could, to what extent should I think about it? "

"But that's why Kazura drives the mountain road every time, right?" I wish I had had an accident..... "

Valletta's voice darkens.

Currently, Ichira cannot go to Japan except for Ichira. Even if there is something I am wearing in Japan, I can't do anything about Valletta.

I was worried and had no choice but to think that it would be like the story told by the bard in Isteria before.

"Then I will try to order online as much as possible and have it delivered to the Mansion." Then you'll be safe, won't you? "

"Yes. If you can do that... and if you start living in the village, I think the greats of the country will come to visit you." I have to keep my hands on it. "

"Sure... it looks like someone is coming to ask for you there."

“Yes, a lot of people have come to know Kazra-san, and I'm sure he'll come by for a lot of favors.”

Regardless of Nelson or Luglo, the army's towns are decadent enough to be “heavenly” somehow.

It is highly likely that you will come into contact with me so that I can accompany you to other gods.

The same could happen to Marie, so it would be necessary to let her know that the “Librasiol is in possession” setting was removed later.

"Therefore, I think it would be better to prohibit direct visits to the village and ask Nelson to mediate with me, but how about that?"

"Oh, that's good. It's annoying to Nelson, though.

"Fufu, you have to put up with that much. When will I be able to live in a village?”

”Hmm... if I can make peace with the tribe, my role will almost be over, and I'll be in the village soon-”

"Hiccup! Popsy!"

”I'm going to tease you... uuu, it's embarrassing...”

"Ugh!?"

"Huh? What's the matter... ahhh!?"

Suddenly, Zirconia and Eila, who were only wrapped around a towel, entered the bathroom, and one of them shouted with a frantic voice.

Valletta was surprised to see her face through the lattice window.

Zirconia's face is bright red and completely intoxicated, and she's a hound.

Did you force her to bring me here? She's grabbing Ella's wrist and pulling it.

The towel seemed to be a little small in Eira's proportions, and it looked a little dull.

Eila's face was bright red because of shame, not alcohol, and she could not look directly at the best face.

Valletta ran to the entrance of the bathroom in a hurry.

"What are you two doing!?"

"Because Leaze is asleep, I came to flush her back instead! Hiccup!"

"That's fine!" You're too drunk! "

"Is that so? Oh, you mean the towel?" I'll take it. "

In a panic, a bright red-faced zirconia pinches the edge of the towel.

"Hey, Master Zirconia!" What are you talking about!? "

"You don't have to take it!" Why is that so amazing! "

Ella and Ichira fluttered in a panic.

"Well, I'm pretty confident in my style. Isn't Ella amazing, too? Look!"

”Kaaaaaaa!?”

"Oops!?"

The moment Zirconia, blatantly wicked, removed herself and Eila's towel.

From behind, another towel flew up to one of the faces and slammed it.

The naked zirconia looked back at Valletta, who was breathing on her shoulders in the shape of Shura.

"... both of you, get out now. Kazura-san, don't move like this."

"" Yes, yes. ""

Pushed by that temptation, the zirconians leave the bathroom.

After hearing the sound of the sliding door closing, Ichira took the towel that was sticking to her face.

--They both have the same model style...

It was only for a moment, but the nakedness of Zirconia and Eira was firmly visible in one retina.

The next morning.

After about nine in the morning, Iris got up and went back to Japan and came to the city.

The time is now 11: 00.

If it were true, I would have woken up earlier, but "I was sleeping too well", and the Vallettas didn't seem to be able to wake up.

Incidentally, when she first woke up, Ella found Zirconia slipping into a duvet, stuck to it, and burst into sleep, and immediately pulled her off and rolled her onto the floor.

Later, when Valletta got up, somehow a thief's beard was painted on Zirconia's face in black magic.

"I don't know who painted it, but it looks good, so let's keep it that way until I noticed it," Eila said with a sharp smile. One of them was a little scared.

In the end, Zirconia was asleep until Ryo left.

"After all, I'm tired of driving on mountain roads." I'm glad you didn't have to do it yesterday. "

I drove to a large Chinese herbal pharmacy that I always pass by.

That's why I came to the front of the store, but there's a construction contractor coming in and out of the entrance, and it looks like it's under renovation.

I thought it was a relatively new shop, but it might be quite lucrative to renovate.

"Oh, you didn't do it?" The other shops are..... "

Operate the car navigation and aim for the location that says "Aoi Pharmacy" on the map.

I discovered a small pharmacy about a minute before I parked my car in a small parking lot and entered the store.

Inside, a young woman in a white coat was sitting on a chair and laughing with the old woman.

There are various kinds of herbal medicines on the shelves near the wall.

It feels like a community-based shop.

Ah, welcome back.

"Oh, you're a customer." Then it's time to go home. Please pay the bill. "

“Yeah. Um, wait a minute. Um, with Kiyomaru and Levangold--"

After paying several thousand yen, the old woman pays her respects and saves her wallet.

"It's going to be tough, but do your best." Don't tell me to close the store. "

A woman in a white coat smiled vaguely at the old woman's words.

"Ahahah... but it's going to be tough when you have a big shop."

“Really, but without a pharmacy like this, I'd miss someone like me. Do your best!"

When the old woman said that, she turned her attention to one thing.

"Oniisan, if you don't mind, I'll buy you a lot." The shop that my mother took over from me, it's going to have to be closed. "

"Hey, hey! Don't be embarrassed!"

"Ahaha, I'm sorry."

The woman in white sighed at the old woman who laughed.

"Um, is the management of the store that hard?"

Even though I think that I'm unfaithful, I always hear about it.

"Um... yes"

A woman in white nodded with a dark face.

"Isn't there a large pharmacy just around the corner under renovation?" After that, you can't do it anymore. "

A woman in a white coat smiles bitterly at the look of what she said.

"The same goes for the old shopping district, but the same goes for the pharmacy. When a big shop is created, the small places are easily blown away. Well, it must be the only thing left to do.

"Damn it! What are you doing with such a weakness?" We need to work harder! "

The old woman complained, but the woman in the white coat only laughed reluctantly.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Need some medicine?" Or is it a body consultation? If you'd like, I can tell you a story and make a medical record. ”

"Oh, no. Not about my body. I need some medicine."

"You've already made up your mind." Which medicine is it? "

"Hmmm... I'm in the middle of something, so if there's something I recommend, I'll do it." I want something that works with cuts and burns. Also, do you have any medicines for people with weak respiratory tract? Physical Improvement "

"Yes, there is." First of all, it's for cuts and burns. "

A woman in a white coat takes a small box from the shelf and begins to explain.

It is a tube-type red ointment that I always use.

The old woman who said she was going home is going to go shopping, and she's staring at the exchange as she sneezes.

"The cut is only red." The initial burns are fine, but if they seem to be twitching, please change them to this yellow color. If you keep painting it properly, you'll be surprised how clean it is. "

"Ah, after all, is this it?" My parents recommended it to me and I usually use it. It works, doesn't it? "

"That's right!" Also, it's a respirator. What are the symptoms? "

"Well, my acquaintance has a weak respiratory system and sometimes coughs with a zeko zeko. Also, my body was weak and I immediately felt a fever--"

Recall the symptoms of Philexia and explain, then, three drugs were proposed.

If it is true, you came to the store and said you wanted to talk to me directly, but that is impossible.

Besides that, you also hear about food poisoning and other things that can be effective in reducing vision in old age.

There are medicines that cost more than 10,000 yen, which is quite expensive.

Her explanation was very straightforward, and she politely answered each of the above questions.

She looks about the same age as Ichira, but she is very firm even though she is young.

"I see. I'm sorry, I asked a lot of questions."

“No, this is your job. Ah, I'm sorry I left you standing! I'll make you some tea right now."

"Oh, no, I'm in a bit of a hurry, so I'll buy it and go home soon." I'd like to have everything you just recommended. "

Ichira said, the woman in white looked a little surprised.

Huh, all of them?

"Yes, all of them, please."

That's a pretty good forehead, isn't it?

"I have it in my hand, so it's okay." Can I have all of these inventory items in the store? ”

Eh

The voice of the old woman who was watching the exchange with the woman in white overlapped.

“And I want to buy more of these drugs. I will pay for it today, so can you keep it until I come back to collect it later?"

"Ah, well, I have all the inventory, but it's going to be a few hundred thousand yen... and a lot more."

A woman in white said with a strange face.

You're kidding, I'm thinking.

“It's okay. I'm going to drop off the money now, can you wait for me?”

"Hey, that's good!" Oniisan, let's do it! What kind of rich guy is that? "

An old woman walks up to him and slaps him on the shoulder.

Then, the woman in white looked at him with serious eyes.

"Well, maybe you're trying to help me by listening to what I just said, but don't be ridiculous." Money is important, so don't waste it on yourself. "

"No, I really use all of them." It's not enough to have anything in this shop. "

Ichira said to the woman in white with a serious face.

"I can't tell you the details, but there are a lot of people who are suffering from injuries and illnesses. I'll let them use it.”

"Um... overseas support? Did you know that there are limits to the amount of money that can be taken out by law?”

“Yes, I know. It's okay."

"... I see. Got it."

"Ah, I see! Oniisan, you're interested in this girl, aren't you?"

"Hey, hey! What are you talking about?"

The woman in white panicked at the old woman's words.

"I mean, isn't that right? This girl has been studying for a long time, and she hasn't felt like a man at all. But seriously, she's a very good girl. How about a cup of tea next time?"

"Ahhh! Please don't do this anymore! You're going to be angry!?"

A woman in a white coat turns her face bright red and gets angry.

"Um, well, then I'll put down the money." I'll pay you all at that time. "

Ichira then left the store and went to the bank.

In a few tens of minutes.

When I got back from the bank, I paid for it and brought the medicine to the car.

It was a situation where a woman in white and an old woman were also helping me.

"Um... thank you so much. I don't know how to thank you."

A woman in a white coat looked at her in shame as she helped her.

"No, I usually bought it from the shop that was under renovation, but I was in trouble because I didn't do it." It's just the way it is. "

"Oh, is that so?" But you ordered this many times more... and I paid the full amount in advance. Could it be that Shino-san is an NPO or something? "

"No, I'm doing it individually. I don't hear from any of these organizations, so don't worry about it.”

"I can't believe you're personally providing medical support on such a large scale... it's really amazing"

"Aoi, that's good." Isn't the store going to be okay for a while? "

The old woman said happily to the woman in white - Aoi.

When I was writing the receipt, I heard that my late mother gave me her name.

Orange and Aubergine is her name.

"Yes, I thought it was no good, but I'll try harder."

"That's the spirit! Oniisan, let's keep it up for you." You can't buy it at that store anymore. "

Of course, I'll come back often, so thank you very much.

Then I loaded all the medicine, and when I got into the car, I left the pharmacy.

The old woman tilted her head next to the aubergine as she bowed her head deeply.

"Oh, you really went without inviting Aoi-chan." I wonder if it was a god of good fortune who passed by. "

"So, please don't say such rude things." already..... "

Aoi says that and looks to the road where one of the cars has driven away.

The car seemed to have already turned around the intersection and disappeared.

― ― Shino-san has been able to afford it for a while, so let's think again about entering home care. We have to survive.

"Next time he comes, invite him over for a meal." I'm sure you're a very rich man! You can aim for the balls!... hey, you hear me? "

While listening to the old woman's words, Aoi was determined to defend her shop.
