"Is Ergo still out there?

"You must have slept with a horse."

"You're so happy..."

- I think he's kind of happier than when he reunited with us...

Well, for the brave Ergonot, you're the "first partner" to start the journey. Before he joined Faria, he was a horse he loved before the country died.

Shortly before reaching Port Town, Ergonote was face-to-face with tears with the White King Aima. I found the horse Faria and Lu were riding with, and for now, I'm relieved.

Horses other than the White King (Whiteia), by the way, were horses, but I'm going to give them back to the horseman without pursuing very deeply what happened during the fugitive life (...).

"I'm glad the White King isn't a female horse."

"Lu, don't make me imagine anything strange..."

I laughed half a smile, drank up the grubby and the wheat juice, and looked out the window.

This is Gravrou Agguy, the finest store in Port Town.

We're sitting on a table like an open terrace with lavish fish dishes lined up right in front of us.

It turns out from yesterday, when he moaned that he couldn't fish because of demons and couldn't take fish, and a wide variety of dishes are carried along with uncommon stewed fish dishes, fresh seafood soups, and whale meat roasts.

Incidentally, the wheat juice I drink is "wheat juice" before fermentation, and it smells like vanilla. It's a non-alcoholic "adult drink" that tastes like beer. I thought it was bitter and unpleasant when I drank it before, but it seemed to go well with Popolato's specialty fish dish.

Store owners say the demons stopped coming out this morning (thanks to us attacking the tower first thing in the morning, I guess) and the hunters rushed out to fish.

"Give it a try, make it good"

"It's delicious!

Plum and hemperosa are the ones who are eating depending on the allowance and the puffiness. The appetite is strong and energetic.

When this journey is over and I return to the hall, I am finally going to embark on the fundamental treatment of Pram.

If we succeed, we will be able to get out of the current state where the medicine is extending our lives.

However, it may be an act of twisting and stopping a life that is supposed to disappear.

- But I don't want to lose Plum or Hemperoza's smile.

For a moment, the mockery of Badjob, the great saint who committed contraindications and fell into the darkness of perpetual robbery, floats. I swallowed the wheat juice again.

"I like meat."

"I agree, I like meat too, though. Good fish today too!

"You guys... that whale you're eating right now, it's not a fish. That's normal meat, isn't it?

I accidentally put a scratch in the meat-loving discourse between Iola and Faria.

"Guru, you're in the sea, so you're a fish, right? It tastes... meaty though."

"Hahaha! Don't tease me, Greg. The sea is fish, land is meat! It is so decided."

"No... so whales are mammals"

I answer with a face like a bitter bug.

"Ugh... what the hell?

"A creature who gives birth to children and raises them in milk."

"Uhm!? Sage jokes are hard! Hahaha!"

"Ah!? I don't know, either. Yeah."

... No, these guys.

Faria and Iola hit a whale meat grill. It is happiness itself to cheek luxuriously.

Outside the window, people in colorful clothes go to each other, strings play from nowhere to show exotic buzz. Vibrant embroidered flags fly through the windows of the houses.

Tonight seems to be a day to celebrate the end of winter, called "Chinese New Year's Eve Night" in the port town of Popolato.

"Sage Grecas, we're all saved and the people in town are smiling. Good for you."

"Well, I'm glad you're okay, too."

"I'm glad. So... we can laugh at each other again."

The fairy Metius stayed on my shoulder and smiled out the window and watched how everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.

After the battle, we reported that we had visited the Lords' Palace until recently to exorcise the remnants of the Demon King's Army and that it was the wizards of the far north who were manipulating them.

Lord Topriham was perplexed to hear the magnitude and upside of the case, but was thrilled and pleased to learn that the demon had been exorcised. And at the very least, he offered me a feast seat.

Sir Toplyham had a rough nose when he advised King Methanostat's government to keep the sea and border guards tight.

I advised Ergonote that if he signed with the name of Ergonote, the officials of the King's government would lift their heavy hips too, and asked Ergonote to sign the papers.

Dickamaran's hero party is only the star of Ergonote, but this kind of clerical work is still my role.

Well, we're just finishing up all the troublesome work, and then let's enjoy the feast.

Falia is reluctant to see her defense diminish when she takes off her armor, but she is rarely wearing a one-piece style calm shade of dress today.

That's plain clothes we bought before we got here: Riola, Iola and Falia. Even though he's a hero who saved the town, he can't go into a fancy store in armor.

In that regard, it's easy for me and Lentomia because kingdoms like "The Wizard's Robe" and "The Wise Man's Robe" are wrapped around jackets that guarantee their identity.

Faria has her silver hair tied unconstitutionally behind her like a ponytail, conveying her temper to "eat for real now".

"Greg, I'll try adult drinks too!

When Faria puts up a jock, Lentomia and Manuferno also put up a drink to toast.

"Cheers. It's been a long time since I've seen anything like this."

"Yeah, it feels like an adventure night."

"Cheers!

Faria with her mouth on wheat juice, uhh......? and a shapely brow.

Ergonote didn't make it to the weir of toast, but he'll come when he's done taking care of the horse, and we'll toast again then.

"But Ergonote takes care of horses."

"Oh. He's been my partner since he was destroyed and he fell. It's a deep bond."

Faria, who is also a brave and childhood tamer, whines with envy somewhere.

"It's a deep bond... it's like me and Greg!

Lentomia tangled up in my arms all the time. Don't stick around! When I was twitching, I remembered something important.

"Your ring, Lu picked it up for me. I forgot to give it back."

"Gre......!

I took off the silver ring I had on my right hand and took the hand of the half elf and put it in my thin finger.

Lentomia, smiling joyfully, puts her tips on the perfumed oil lamp lights to confirm the shine of the ring.

Beautiful young grass colored hair streams through her cheeks.

"Marriage. Whatever... It's an engagement scene..."

Manuferno says that with a tingle in his mouth.

"Chi, no!? I just gave it back."

"Handover. Shouldn't I just give it to you?

"No, well... right"

"Eh heh, you can't beat Manu."

Lentomia shows off her ring provocatively for some reason. Speaking of which, you forgot to alter your stalking item maneuvers.

"Hostile (Competitor). You will never lose...! Though!" Gugre-kun and Lentomia-kun Teppanyaki Couple "is the source of my creations......!

Oh!? and Manu stuck his head against his desk. Not that I was drunk, but he broke a little.

"Oh, hey? Are you okay, Manu... you know, a lot."

"Goto. This too... will be a creation story..."

I'm still not sure if Manu is tough or not. Looks like you'll be able to take care of me in the future.

"Ha, well, you're all back to normal! Good for you!

Faria cheeks up the dish like she enjoys watching us.

"Speaking of which, Faria's about to be an adult, and if you want to drink, can we have a drink?

"So, no! Alcohol is not good for your health. And, especially, I'm going to give birth to a child...... Mmm!

All of a sudden, he drinks up bitter juice, and he looks like a complete drinker.

On this continent (Methanostat), it has been decided that "alcohol starts at the age of twenty", but few people are very strictly protecting it.

Faria is the Princess of Loudens for once (...), so I guess she's surprisingly serious around there.

"But you're twenty in a month, aren't you?

…… Greg, you remembered my birthday!

Faria smiles brightly and makes her eyes shine.

Of course I remember.

I know the members' personal information (status), so it's natural. Instead, I'm going to be learning a little bit about the area where fish dishes are brought to my mouth.

"Faria's going to grow up next to Ergo."

Unexpectedly squeaky and looking at one older "friend".

"Are you an adult...... Well, it's not that different. But it's time to go back to the country..."

"Huh...?

Faria is and silence. And then I started eating guts and cooking.

"Sage, the orchestra!

"Hey, wow!

"It's a restaurant with music."

Riola, Hempero, and Plum sparkle their eyes at the entertainment in the store that suddenly began.

By the time it turned into a quiet song, some of the store's guests started dancing naturally.

That's like cheek dancing, that's such a dance.

Young men and women are also dancing, illuminated by perfumed oil lamps, with a sweeter atmosphere somewhere.

"Io, do you want to dance?

"Eh, I... fine"

"Fine, fine."

Riola actively took Iola's hand and slipped into the wheel.

The sight-seeing but twin brothers and sisters try to perform a dance that was more breathtaking than any other couple.

I applaud the other guests unexpectedly for the two who occasionally spill their laughter as they converse with each other with their gaze.

It's like Iola and Riola are the only privileges to hold hands together naturally, even when you're embarrassed to touch them.

I still envy those two.

"Ooh! Sister Rio, Brother Io, no... that's fine."

"Greg! I want to try the plum and the plum."

Hempero and Plum glisten their eyes and look at us.

"Me too!

And why are you staring at me, Lentomia...

"The Awkward is looking for someone!

No, Lu is this dance dangerous isn't it!? I can see it turning into a nasal cry.

"Experience. I, Greg, have experience dancing with you!

A manual that suddenly raises its hands and shines its glasses.

"Ha! It's all right! I'll lead you this time, Greg!

"Wah!? Oh, I can't do this!?

I was quickly dragged out by Faria and Lentomia and, like the kidnapped, into a circle of cheats and dancing.

Everyone's face, draped by the fragrance lamp, shines with pleasure.

- Well, isn't it bad to try once in a while, huh?

I wish times like this would go on forever dancing, what a blur.
