The elegant daily routine of sage Grecas - here we go with a lovely 'Sage Hall' life!

◇

When the sun began to lean after noon, we were stepping into the territory of the port town of Popolato.

The woods, which encountered bandits and winged dragons, run away like a black belt on a far rear horizon, amidst dry hilly areas covered with tall grass, the carriage runs hiccups.

Golem stuffed with slime in wine barrels, the Sterling Slime engine maintained a steady output and continued to rhythmically kick the ground with iron hooves.

Occasionally, it is different from a carriage loaded with fish processed products. They're loaded with bags filled with dried little fish, and crows and small wing dragons are dancing over them for spills. I guess the carriage heading west from this hour will take the inn in the lodging town of Apahorte, where we came by.

Pram sat next to him in the seat of the swinging carriage, looking at the scenery, but when the scent of seafood brewing was carried in the wind, he snorted softly.

"It kind of smells delicious -?

"It's loaded with dried fish, not just meat, but fish."

"Ho..."

Every time you slip away from a carriage, the other carriage's owner smiles bitterly at the plum who embarks on you with starving eyes like you see food.

Speaking of which, you will see the sea and the town (Popolato) if you pass the small high hill in front of you. And I heard some manu from the carrier behind the carriage.

"Listen. Io-kun, tell me more."

I'm asking Iola a question on a serious note. I'm seriously taking notes or something, but is it another interview to make a piece of work?

"Oh, there was only one room that night, and I didn't have many bets..."

"Of course. I know that. When me and Sister Faria got back from the shower, you slept with Io-kun Ergonote, right? So, this is an important part of the case, right?

Lift your glitter and glasses with one finger.

"Uh, that's... that's not how I'm going to go because Ergo's master says' I'm good on the floor '! If I say so, then let's go to bed together or something..."

Iola in all her troubles, it's as if she's being investigated by a manual.

Ho ho? and write it down in the notebook at hand, commonly known as the Manuferno Sketch. Apparently, the contents of the little notebook accumulate a lot of creative ideas... but I'm not willing to ask what it says.

…………

If you say you're scared, you're scared of Riola's face staring at Iola silently behind the manual.

"Muscle. Io-kun was touching the chest plate of the ergonote, wasn't he?

"Ah!? That was awesome, or he told me to touch it..."

…………

My sister, Riola, frowns at the root and narrows her eyes. At least give him something to twitch!?

Iola, turn your confused eyes on me. It's nothing wrong with Iola, isn't it normal for her to say "master and disciple skinship"?

You don't know what the excitement point of Manu is?

Iola's gonna look a little cute, and I'm gonna give her a helping boat.

"Not at all... wasn't that a long time ago, Manu? Besides, you fought a giant monster after that. It has nothing to do with this disappearance."

Then Manu closes his notebook and looks back at me. The chopped forehead and two loosely knotted lowered hair shake.

I (...) look somewhere in the pose of lifting the nose of the glasses with my white, thin index finger.

"Case. I was wondering if there was any hint about Ergonote or Mr. Faria's disappearance this time..."

"The case and nothing." The Demon King's Remnant "is the killer, right?

"Drawings. Gu..."

I sigh with a frightened face and put my face back in the direction of the carriage.

And, Manu's voice sounds.

"Intuition. I think the woman's mind, the case, is connected."

"What?"

"The rest of the party. and... with the bandits"

I always thought it was peachy fermentation in my head, and I can't even insult the manu.

"Mmmm...... I agree with you on that..."

I ran my gaze into the trolley of wine barrels towed by Chirali and the carriage.

It is true that there are still thinner magic threads (magiwires) connected than ultra-fine hair. A yarn that stretches well wraps around the inner tongue.

The involvement of the Demon King's remnants of the army is also evident from Luroni's last ring communication, in which he said, 'Encounter enemy contact (encount), start of battle, strange immediately afterwards -'.

But what bothers me is the bandit raid and the mystery that supposedly manipulated them behind their backs. The mysterious magic thread (MagiWire) that is still watching us remains connected to the carriage.

Of course, I'm pretending not to notice, but I'm not saying I'm completely abandoned.

It was also apparent from the analysis of the magic thread (Magiwire) that the purpose of the wiretapping of the conversation was. So I'm bypassing the magic thread, playing it randomly so that they don't understand the "dumb conversation between Plum and Hemperoza" and making it listen extended. I have a headache at best.

But if a mysterious enemy exists, even if you think about it, you will guide Ergonote, Faria, and Lentomia.

The brave Ergonote is so strong and tough. Whatever the situation, I'm sure you'll be fine, but Falia is a woman, even if she is. If the enemy had caught you... well, would a lot of things be okay?

Even Lentomia is certainly superior in magic, but her luxurious body is not very sturdy. Besides, he looks so cute, there's not necessarily an unforgivable enemy to bind him to an irresistible Lentomia.

- Guh...!? No. No kiri when I come up with it!

"Greg, I'm tired, so give me a break."

Half the body of the elf jumping on my back when I said it like that on my soot face was very light during my former journey. Get off me! And even though I asked, "Respect your teacher," I was just confused by Lentomia snapping on my back.

Such memories turn my head.

I look at the sea and I steal the side of Iola that sparkles my eyes. Well, I guess masters and disciples are like that everywhere.

"Worried. Are you okay, guys..."

"Right..."

Was Manu thinking the same thing, gazing at the end of the hill where the carriage goes with a strange face?

"Ah!" "Wow!

My vision suddenly widened when I crossed the hill. Blue horizontal on one side, it was - the ocean as far as I could see.

"Ooh!? Blue! Wide! It's terrible, Greg!

"Oh, to the sea!

"Io... it's beautiful!" "Ah!

"Sage Grecas, this is the sea, isn't it!

Everyone in the carriage cheers simultaneously. Again, the sea is a heartwarming sight to see again and again.

The sea plains, which are blue and can even be seen at the end of the horizon, continue far beyond. Clouds are only found in huge accumulated clouds like summer, but they shine white in the afternoon light.

"The Great Sea." The Sea of Bi, "beautiful..."

Manuferno rounds the eyes behind the glasses.

Ethereal sea, that is the name of the sea extending east of the Kingdom of Methanostat.

At the end of the road that continued down the hill, the city was spreading. A number of ships, large and small, dock in the harbour, some spreading white sails. Probably a ship bound for a world route around ports around the world.

Popolato, the port town. We arrived at the northernmost and easternmost port in the Kingdom of Metanostadt.

"Grey, I smell strange -"

"The smell of the sea. Speaking of which, is Plum new to the sea..."

"I've never seen it before, but I saw it in a picture book with Hempero. Okay, uh, I'm going to go play" What, "salty puddles, right?

Plum looks like a 10-year-old girl, but she's actually three months old. There she is. Naturally, I've never even seen the ocean. I don't know the season of spring or the heat of summer like that.

"Ha..., it must be a water hoard. It's cold and I can't play right now, but it's fun to swim and play at sea in the summer."

"Ooh? I want to play Plum too -! Hempero, Sister Rio, Sister Manu... Anyway, I want to come to the sea with everyone -"

Eh heh, and pram laughing innocently.

"Ah...... ah. Right, next time..."

- No, it's not... That's not gonna work.

"Be sure to come, 'Promise'"

"Shit, is that it?

"Oh, yeah."

I respond by making my voice play as forcefully as I can tell myself, nodding.

- Let's be sure to come. When it's summer, we'll go back to this sea.

"But Master Grey, is there a 'nah' in the ocean -?

Ugh...... You don't understand.

There's no reason to know what kind of memory processing is going on in Plum's head that looks up at me with his neck tied, but it's impeccable to say something that destroys his dreams.

"Look, there's a hot season called summer. The sea shines in the sun! Girl swimsuit on sweaty skin! Ha-ha-ha. Chasing me by the sea...... Anyway... it's fun!

"Ho!?

Plum has his mouth half-opened and his eyes are glowing.

By the way, I've never experienced anything called "pleasant ocean memories," so I just said it in the sense that I wanted to try it out.

- This summer, it's not bad for everyone to come visit the ocean.

In retrospect, Plum was born when the summer was over, and it was autumn when I realized it while I was on an adventure with butterflies, and... winter came.

Eventually, with the season around, there will be a beautiful and warm spring, after a refreshing early summer of fresh greenery, and a rather turning midsummer -.

I'm going to teach Plum that the season is so natural.

The manufacture of medicines for fundamental healing has been postponed. But if we can create drugs, we can show them as many times as we want.

When I realized I was holding the hand of Plum, who was happily eyeing the view. A small, colder hand is grabbing my palm.

"Grey, Hempero and I read pictures in the library that there was something about" Umizuku "and" Mizugikai "in the summer. Yikes?

"What kind of picture book is that..."

With a half-eyed view of the sea, he manipulated the horse's reins to slide the carriage into Popolato's stable.

- Come on, we have to find Luroni first.
