The picturesque rice cakes are delicious today

Episode 11: Fairy Confectionery Store * 2

Fairy confectionery shop.

When I suggested it, Faye gave me an understanding, as a matter of fact, and then the shards smiled.

The fairy has a track record of running my gallery, and it's good to have human employees, and above all, the fairies are making sweets with great fun...

Yeah. It's up to the fairies.

"So, fairies, why don't you open up?

I went back to the woods and asked the Celeste brothers and sisters, and the fairies were surprised.

And suddenly, you're chatting, rubbing and chatting.... their voice still sounds to me when the bell rings, when the wind chimes out of the shell, when the leaves of the trees are touched by the wind.

"Um, um, um..."

Ange, who seems to be hearing the voice as a word, was in a little trouble. Well, if you talk like this all at once...

In the meantime, Ange and I waited for the fairies to calm down, and then we decided to talk again.

"Um... you guys make lots of sweets, but if you put them in the pockets of people who come to the gallery, I think it's a little bitter, like creamy cakes or honey-rich pancakes."

When I said that, the fairies gathered and said, "That's right! I just started nodding, and the sight of more than 100 fairies nodding at once was amazing.

"So I was wondering if there was a place to serve fairy sweets... well, maybe you don't want a lot of people to eat sweets, so I thought I'd talk to you there, and now I'm talking to you... wow"

And as soon as I spoke, the fairies flew towards me, hugging my fingers all over my body, shaking my fairy hand. Thanks to this, my fingers are getting harder and harder for fairies. And then the fairies started talking again and again, but I don't understand the words...

"Um, you know... Fairies, sweet shops, they want to do it."

Ange translated it for me. The fairies, who seem to have found out that they have been translated, stretch out their spine, look up at me, and sue me with their sparkling eyes. Okay, sweet shop, you want to do it. I'm glad.

"Now, let's build a shop. I think we should open it on the south side. There's a field to the east, and when a house suddenly stands next to one's own house or field, people are surprised...."

What kind of shop would you like? As I made the design while listening, the fairies gave me various opinions, so I asked Ange to translate it, and I gradually drew up a design proposal.

... that's how the shop was created.

Located near the south gate of the forest. If this were to be a town, it might be a prime place. No, I'm not in town yet, so I can't say anything.

The design of the shop... is like a shortcake.

Sweet red roofs like strawberries and creamy walls. About a third of the area below the wall is decorated with bricks of that color, like sponge cake, caramel, and cookies. That's why it's like a shortcake.

By the way, the doors and window frames are chocolate brown. Look, I feel like there's a chocolate board on top of the cake. Here, happy birthday or something.... ah, but I haven't eaten that kind of cake in a while.

Oh, no, but I ate at the teacher's house. Christmas. 'Why would I give a single man a Christmas cake for the rest of my life? They're so cruel! Besides, I'm old enough to lose my stomach if I give up eating one hole! You know that! But for some reason, the cake is unconditional! Hyah! with the joyful angry teacher. Of course, the text of the chocolate was not "Happy Birthday" but "merry Xmas".

... the shop is surrounded by flower fields and a large tree grows behind the shop. There are scales in the tree, and that's where the fairies are supposed to rest.

In the back of the shop is the cooking area. There are kettles and ovens that allow you to make sweets, as well as water supply based on the principle of bathing.... ah, woodland village, should we do water works or something? I felt it would be better to build a well because it would be as good as spring water. I'll talk to Faye later.

... on the front of the shop, on a chocolate brown floor, there is a shelf of the same color by the wall where you can display cookies, Madeleine, and so on.

And then there's the accounting counter, and a glass showcase for placing sweets and stuff. We'll start small at first, so we'll be able to increase the number of showcases later, but now there's only a small one.

... the fairies want to be able to eat sweets in the store in the future, but I think the size of the village is still too small to run a restaurant, so it's a chase.

However, there is also a building that can be used as a café in the future. You are a chocolate-coloured shop. Doors and window frames are white chocolate.

"For the time being, I think it would be good to open the store about once a week. You don't know how it goes if you move too suddenly."

"Yeah."

And the confectionery shop's plan continues steadily.

"I wonder how many customers there are. Even tourists won't come that far. Do you think the main customers are farmers...? Ah, if you can find a shop, so can those people. There will be more people coming to the pedestrian market, and there may be others who will stop by as they move from town to town."

... farmers, will they buy sweets? Um, I'm a little doubtful, but, well, okay. In the meantime, a few customers are scheduled to come in one day, and for the time being, it's just to wait and see...

... oh.

"Um, does Mr. Crowe run the store?

I was a little worried and asked. I mean, just now, Mr. Crowe is writing a plan by moving the pen with great momentum. Ange and the fairies are watching it...

"Yes, I can't just leave it to the fairies and Ange. I might hire an employee eventually, but for the time being, Lyla and Ange will be working. I wonder if Lian could use it..."

... Lian has a job transporting letters and taking care of horses, but I think it's okay to ask him to transport letters and ice birds, and I hope he can do what he wants. If anything, you don't have to work, but he doesn't seem convinced...

"... so, Corn-san"

"Yes"

Now that I've been turned around by Mr Crowe, I'll also turn around and correct my posture.

Then, Mr. Crowe said with a serious face.

"... you know... I want you to let me out, too."

... ah.

I see. The walls are coming out... Mr. Crowe can't get out!

"Laocles is fine. I'm out on an alicorn. Faye can get in and out with the Summoners, and Lian and Ange can get in and out with the Summoners. You are the Phoenix. Lyla seems to be renting Pegasus when she needs to get in and out...."

... yeah. That's right. Mr. Claire, I can't get out without the Summoners!

Horses often miss Mr. Crowe, and some of them are enthusiastic fans of Mr. Crowe... but I think it would be troublesome to get horses to fly. Mm-hmm.

"Okay. I think there's something out there, Summoner."

"I'm sorry you're sick."

"Yeah, it's okay."

It's much more magical than it was when we released Laocles' Alicorn and Faye's Red Dragon, and any creature should be able to do so without being so burdensome. You shouldn't have to sleep like before.

"So, what do you do?

"That's right....."

Claire thought for a moment, and then she had a nice look.

"Like Laocles, a horse would be fine. I love horses... and I love them more when I'm in the woods."

"Yeah."

I'm glad.

"But I don't think it's good to be just a little alicorn. Now, these horses in the woods seem to be moving with Alicorn from Laocles as a group. If there were two facilitators, it might not be a good idea."

I see. When it comes to horses, we should stop Alicorn.... I think the horse himself would be happy to have a cute youngest child again, but it's certainly not very good in terms of disturbing the leadership, because it seems that Laocles' Alicorn plays the leading role.

"Then maybe you should stop being such a pigeon or a phoenix. At my size, I can't get on my leg, so I'm gonna grab it like you, right? If you do that, one hand will be blocked... well, in case you have to work in secret..."

... I wonder what's ahead of "a little". Well, what is a secret job in the first place? No, I didn't ask. I don't want to hear it because Claire is making it difficult for me to say it.

"... well, then, let's drill a hole in the wall. Lock a locked door. Or maybe you can connect the tunnel under the wall to the confectionery store... but you'll need legs to move anyway."

"I see. Besides, I'd rather fly. Because if you can fly, even if the bird grabs you again, you can get it back."

I wonder if you still have it in your roots when the birds grab it... Because it's about that bird, even if it's stuck to the roots, it doesn't seem to care about anything.

"Then it's an empty flying creature with Claire's hands."

"Yes, and if possible, a small creature. When it gets bulky, there, a little...."

... I'm still worried about the tip of "a little", but, well, yeah. Don't worry about it.

Then, I held discussions with Mr. Krah that it was not like this... and as a result, Mr. Krah's summoner was decided.

As a result of the consultation, the Summoner... um, butterflies.

Hey, hey.

Mr. Crowe's Summoner, hey. Big guy.

That's what happened.
