Hikaru reported to the Adventurer Guild just in case he arrived in Aguiar Pole and delivered the delivery to the "Tower". The guild in the Holy Capital was much smaller and neater than in other countries —— although the receptionist was the same as beautiful.

The Church's Temple Knights seem to crusade the battle against monsters, and the work that comes around adventurers is focused on escorting and collecting them. Adventurers don't even come close to guilds with less work, and inevitably the scale is smaller.

"Indeed, we have recorded that Dear Adventurer Hikaru stopped by here. But the final confirmation of the request will be executed by Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs Pawnsonian."

And the beauty says.

"Okay."

"Where are you staying in the Holy City?

"No...... I haven't taken the inn yet. It looks like there's a Grand Hotel, so I thought I'd put it there."

Grand Hotel is a hotel chain that stretches across the continent. The quality is good because of its large size. But it's expensive —— the receptionist knows Hikaru's staying at the Grand Hotel, which means he's got all the financial resources.

"Oh, really? By the way, does Master Hikaru have plans for today?

and he asks, nagging his hair. Apparently even Hikaru in Rank D is ranked there within this guild.

I get Lavia and Paula's gaze from behind, so I leave the Adventurer's Guild appropriately. The "Grand Hotel Aguiar Paul" had vacancies, so I picked them up and headed out into the city again.

"Finally, Oyla time!

Because the koo is loud. Hikaru and I were the only ones who ate pancakes at the cafe, and Koo seems unhappy with that because he couldn't.

"Let's Go to the Streets!

"That's it, Koo. You got any stalls?

'... Huh?

What I found out on foot in this "white" city is that it's too neat. The absence of stalls in other cities is also a good example. Being neat isn't a bad thing, but being too neat also makes me feel less lively.

"Oh, my God! There's a gourmet trip to Oyla!

"I'm not here for the gourmet."

"Hikaru is good! He was eating something white and sweet earlier!

"Oh, that was delicious. So you have white sugar."

Hikaru was surprised by the whiteness of the sugar, but this country has a slight intention of putting it on "white," and the technique of removing impurities from brown sugar and whitening them seems to have already been established. Use magic.

I wonder if there's anything else I can do, but I think it's human around here.

"I want some oil, too. I want some!

"Hey, Koo, shut up!

Hikaru holds Kou's mouth -- on Lavia's chest without trying to have such a kou,

"Hiya!?"

"Ah, you --"

Besides, I just left the hotel.

The passers-by stop and see here what the hell.

"............... Hey, let's go!

I left the scene in the morning.

Then when I walked down the street to people, it meant that the stalls were certainly in this town, too. The market as well as the stalls. But it's all --.

"No way... I didn't expect to let you in all the rooms"

Huge white warehouse in front of me. Is it big enough to have quadrupled the gym rather than the warehouse? The ceiling is high and round, and the door is wide open towards the street.

What you hear from inside is the voice of a prestigious business. Many enter and leave. In each hand hold the product or purse you bought.

"Ooh..."

Much hotter than outside when you go inside. It's people's enthusiasm. Fish roasted smells, fat smells, old furniture smells, spices smells, human smells —— all sorts of smells intersect and my head crackles.

Thanks, they say the Pope doesn't approve of commerce on the streets, and this is how the indoor market is created. It's like a free market, it's like a street street. I guess people are coming from different countries as well as this country, the beasts are usually there too.

This indoor market has a total of 13 in Agearpole.

There was a smell in it that I had smelled. Smells slightly sweet. The smell I never smelled in this world.

"Maybe..."

Hikaru discovered something here.

"Hey, I might be a little tired..."

People get drunk when they're in the indoor market for 30 minutes. Lavia turned up the sound, but Paula already doesn't have the energy to say anything. Hikaru, who bought a glass of groceries in both hands, goes outside.

But I can't even eat outside. Because the Pope forbids it. Instead, there is a dining building co-located in the indoor market.

"What a good thing to behave..."

This one wasn't so crowded that it settled around the prominence of the empty seats.

Quickly the koo is eating into the dried river fish. He sounds like he's eating even dead branches.

"Even so —— I didn't know there was this"

Although it was that crowded indoor market, it was worth getting into for Hikaru. Yeah, I got what I could think of.

"Hikaru... if you say so, you were buying it by changing the color of your eyes."

"What is it, what is it? It's white..."

Apparently Lavia and Paula don't know what this is.

"... it's a staple like bread. This is what happens when you let them suck water and cook it up"

Undressed, round and white object.

I bought not many 5 pieces of nostalgia. When I was in Japan, I never ate this (...) so much.

"Rice. This is a dish called Rice Balls...... is it a dish? Well, that's the place."

"Is it that good?

"You should try it"

When Hikaru recommends, Lavia and Paula take it in their hands with a half-hearted face. I frowned because the rice grain stuck to my finger.

"... right, even rice is in this world."

I used to eat noodles made from rice flour. But I never came out as "rice". When I asked the shopkeeper who was selling the rice balls, "Why is this shop dealing with this?" the answer was "Because it's white". They say it's not populist food.

All this time Hikaru also thanked this country for its dedication to white.

Hikaru also takes the rice balls. It is limp and stiff because it is gripped and mixed with a cucumber.

"--Ha-ha."

Bite it, chew it. Stiff. Not cooked enough, with a core. Moreover, it is not sweet rice like Japanese rice, but long, thin, smelly rice. When something like this comes out in a Japanese restaurant, you'll take a bite and poke it back.

"... Hikaru?

"Dear Hikaru..."

Says as Lavia and Paula both cared about the hikaru eating with a strange look on their faces.

"... that's crazy. I never came here (...) and was driven by grief... I never ate such a crappy rice balls with pleasure."

I heard it was bad, and Lavia took a terrible bite, too, but as soon as I grabbed her face, I put her back in the paper wrap. Paula is forced to eat.

Hikaru laughed.

"Ha. There's nothing I can do. Neither do I eat without remembrance."

"Memories... you have memories, in this food. Hikaru's memories."

"Right. Because I used to eat all this stuff."

…………

Then Lavia took the rice balls again and started eating them.

"Lavia. I can't --"

"It's not impossible. I want to know more about Hikaru.... Mogu"

To Lavia, who stuck him in the throat, Hikaru offered him juice. Sweet fruit juice would not go with the rice balls at all.

"In Hikaru's hometown, you ate these things."

"It was much better than this, though."

"Really... I've never eaten before"

A little, unfortunately Paula said. I also knew how she felt about Hikaru. I'm sure this is what I'm trying to say —— I want to know more about Hikaru, too. But that makes me hesitant. Because I know Hikaru doesn't like to be pryed.

(I thought telling Paula about me, too, was a future not so far away... well, I guess I'll talk about it when this is over and I can calm down and get back to the scalazard. about how I came to this other world)

Then Hikaru ate one remaining rice balls. There was really another one, but after Koo had already eaten it. "It's not delicious, this."
