Vermillion

The next day.

Swallow me, Kays, who was bursting asleep in bed to fold over, finally woke up by the time the noon bell rang.

I really would have liked to have slept more, but the sound of the bell and thirst, hunger, good smell of pre-lunch planting, etc. are the shapes dragged out of the bunk.

"I want to head..."

Kay's vulnerable to booze.

"I'm not weak, you're too strong..."

I swallowed it last night. Even after the tavern closed, I went back to my room and continued to swallow with Gudagda, as a result of which a number of empty liquor bottles are rolling on the floor. Thanks to this, I had a mood swing, but it seemed a little too much, and even with the [physical strengthening] crest, they couldn't keep up with the breakdown of alcohol.

But Irene, who was just like Kay or rather swallowing more than that, looks kelloggy, so the personal difference is huge. Again, drinking at the genetic level is different, Kay thought. If things don't get better like this, I don't have to rush things, and I'm driven by the desire to stay gobbled up.

Still, when I had an early lunch and was drinking Gabgab of water, my headache was healed and I felt positive that I could go out.

"What are we going to do today?

After the meal, when Kay spoke at the liquor and dining room seat, Irene thought as she roared "Hum."

"……… let's make a bumpy 'arr'"

"'Arre'?

"The one I was talking to Kay about before. It's a tool for training."

Dive your voice, Eileen, to avoid being heard around you. Kay, who still had a bad head around him, put it down for a beat and then guessed that was about the magic prop for magic workouts.

Irene contracts Spirit "Dusk Maiden" Kerstin, instead of having extremely low physical interference, also consumes less magic. Then, if you apply it and create a magic artifact that manipulates only a few shadows, you will be able to train magic safely.

Originally, magicians in this world must pay close attention to the training of magic. If the magic drains, what awaits is a certain death. He said he missaw his limitations during his training and that few magician apprentices died.

The Principality, which is investing in the training of magicians, should want safe training laws so much that it can get its hands out of its throat. So in case Irene and Kerstin's usefulness is exposed - it will probably be troublesome to die for. At least you won't be able to live peacefully and safely. It is Othi who is imprisoned in the name of 'asylum'.

"Well, it's like being able to make it with regular magic props. If we don't find out, we'll be fine."

That's what Eileen says and flickers her hand. Take that risk. But Kay's benefits in building his magic power are enormous. If Kay is able to exercise his magic without a catalyst - "Maiden of the Wind" Sieve technique, he will be able to create useful magic items, such as arrow-saver talismans and sails that bring in the wind.

Even Kay wants to make an arrowhead talisman as a top priority. In particular, I want to make sure that the status quo, which I shared with Irene about one of the Ignaz Bandits, is enough to automatically bounce back even if arrows fly around town.

"The ingredients?

"Go to the Cornwell Chamber of Commerce, I should have - bought it. After that, would you like to ask Montan's husband for a woodworking detail?

I want you to make a body of tools, Eileen.

"Let's do that. And to Lily, shall we take some souvenirs?"

"That's a must."

Ummm, arms around and Eileen nods. It's autumn, but should we buy grapes at the market? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Talking about that, Kay took a seat after glaring over a glass of water so as to cool his hungover, unwieldy brain.

†††

Holland was consulted at the Cornwell Chamber of Commerce and was asked to accommodate research expenses, crystals and other materials referred to as' For the Prototyping and Research of Demonic Props'.

"For once, I'd like you to sign the contract."

Along with the funds, the parchment paper offered by Holland, regrettably, contained the details of the contract in absurd language. For once, the two of us thoroughly read it, but there seemed to be no problem with it.

The point is, 'I'm going to help you financially, so if you can get something good, sell it to us! Absolutely! It just said'. Of course, Eileen has no objection, and she's not going to run away with plenty of research money. Holland also laughed bitterly when he bought the Cornwell Chamber of Commerce luxury confectionery for its' research expenses'.

"When I get a prototype of the shadow painting, I'd have to contact Joaquin's husband, too. Instead of selling it for a cheap price, I'm asking you to promote it."

"Oh, you heard that. There's nothing wrong with us. If you can accompany me with the name of the Chamber of Commerce..."

"Speaking of which, Joaquin, are you still in Satina?

Kay asked Holland. As soon as I got to Satina and broke up with the caravan, I didn't see him.

"I'll be staying in Satina for a while," he said. They'll be traveling to Kitene before winter, so if you have business, maybe now. What, shall I tell you about his sleepover?

"We will put His Highness Leonard on the throne without fail."

Separately from the prototype, Kay wanted to hear rumors about Satina in order to get an idea of who he was (Kay) looking for. Joaquin travels around the city and greedily collects new song stories, so he's pretty informative.

By the way, last night, Eileen applied the technique of [tracking] the note form to try to identify the sender of the note, but apparently the ownership shifted to Kay at the time of "receipt" of the note, which ended in underdevelopment.

"I think the prototype can be done in a couple of days with all this stuff."

"Wow! That's faster than I thought. I hope so."

After shaking hands with Hochhok smiling Holland, the two left the Chamber of Commerce.

Next, take that leg to Craftsmanship.

I was a little shy because it was just lunchtime, but I was like, "Why don't you just eat with me?" Eileen reopened and bought skewers, bread, etc. at the stall to visit Lily's house.

"Hey, there you are!

Lily is thrilled to welcome you. Montan and Kiska were frightened by the Kays, who appeared with a large amount of handicrafts, but went straight on to have lunch with them.

"Hey, this is delicious!

"This skewer's pretty good, too."

It soothes both of us, as comfortable as our distant sisters of age, around us. Soft bread with crepes of buckwheat flour and walnuts stuck in a skewer of rabbit meat. I also pound my tongue on seasonal fruits such as figs and grapes, and I get a mint tea brewed by Kiska. It was an elegant lunch.

"And what a day, there's dessert too!

"Wow wow! Cute!"

And after the meal, Irene takes out the box of treats she bought at the Chamber of Commerce. Nuggets made from hard-boiled sugar and honey with hard-boiled egg whites and nuts. A luxury product colored in thin pink or green with extracts of flowers and medicinal herbs and cut into large bites. Apparently Montane, a well-armed craftsman and dating a large merchant, knew its value, peeling her eyes at the colorful nuggets that appeared out of the box, but Eileen winked properly and made her say nothing.

"Oops!

"Oh, really. Don't look so handsome! The nuts smell good... oh, don't hesitate to eat the kiska or the montane!

"Ah, Yes...... thank you"

"Are you sure? Oh, yummy."

A windy montan such as a surprise, a kiska with her eyes lowered on sweet things and cheeks loosened cheeks.

"... So, Montan, I actually have a request. As a woodworker."

As it was, Lily started playing hand in hand with Irene, so Kay cut out the story in lieu of Irene whispering as she received a nugget.

"If it was Kay's request, I'd be happy to"

Montane is serious, correct his residence.

"Oh, no, it's not that big of a job. Eileen's trying to build a magic prop, so I want some of these things in the prototype."

Rough blueprints were prepared in advance. As the main unit of the Projector, there are a number of parts that form the foundation for fitting jewellery. And besides, a little 'wand' for Kay's magic workouts that gets confused with a face that doesn't eat anything.

"…… If that's about it, we'll finish it tomorrow evening"

"A boulder. How much do I owe you?

"You can't afford that!

Terrible, and a montan shaking his pull head. It's the reaction that was supposed to happen, but with regard to this, Eileen and I have decided on a policy.

"That's not how it works. We're going to have a long relationship, and I want to have a decent and good relationship at work."

Personal and business relationships should be considered separately. This is also for each other. If I can get it done here, it may be good now, but I can't deny the possibility of getting screwed later. The problem involving gold is troublesome, I want to continue to have a smooth exchange in the future, so I will make a good settlement.

"Besides, it is the Cornwell Chamber of Commerce that pays for the production……"

You know what I mean? And Kay stepped aside and let me raise one eyebrow. The point is, our nostalgia doesn't hurt, so don't hesitate to take it away.

"If that is the case……………………"

"Thank you very much," Montan smiled bitterly, lowering his head. And finish a quick quote and keep the advance.

"Now, let's get to it."

"I asked for it. And... that changes the story, but how's Lily doing?

"Thanks to you, I seem to have slept well for a long time yesterday"

It's like a load of shoulders, like I'm finally feeling comfortable.

With such a calm face, Montan sees his beloved daughter.

Eileen was teaching Lily a simple game with her hands. Starting with each other, one finger of each hand standing, attacking the other hand alternately. For a few minutes of the number of fingers you have attacked, let the target's fingers stand up, and if more than five fingers are to stand, the hand falls off. And if both hands fall off, we lose.

You can also bump your hands against each other to add up and separate the number of fingers. From the condition of four right hands and one left hand, to the condition of three on the right hand and two on the left hand. Even if one hand falls off, it can revive one hand with the same mechanism, so it's hard to finish. For the little one, it's a good hand job because it also makes you study arithmetic, Kay thought.

Kai Kai has also done this as a child, but I don't know the name of the game. Apparently Eileen doesn't even know, and Lily asked me and I was stuck responding.

Nevertheless, there is still less entertainment in this world. For once, there are board games like chess, and if the game stays set, there should be billboard games that are upscale but similar to cards. At the Cornwell Chamber of Commerce next time, Kay was just thinking that you might want to look for such a deal.

"………? Lily, what's wrong?

A strange thing happened to Lily, who was playing with Eileen.

"Yeah……………."

Softly, Lily is suddenly restless and unable to concentrate on playing with her hands. I thought I'd put my hand in my clothes pocket, so I took out my little wrapper.

- Honey candy.

I put one of those golden ones in my mouth.

I just ate fruit and even nuggets, and more candy? and Kay is uncomfortable.

"……… Lily, if you eat too much sweet food, it's not good for you ~?"

I thought this was not good for the boulder, and Eileen graciously held Lily back.

But... Lily's expression is dark.

Not very much, but this is not the face of a child who enjoys sweets.

"…… hey, hey, I wonder if I'm crazy"

Pompous, looking up at Eileen, Lily asked anxiously.

"... ah (...) or (...) et al. (...) I suddenly want to eat honey candy"

Lily grabs around the chest of her clothes to keep her palpitations down.

"But, isn't this it? The truth is, it has to be something else. It's a lot more painful."

"……… What do you mean?

"At that time, I got a weird boy, a candy ball. When I ate that, I felt fluffy like I was dreaming, and my eyes circled, and it felt so weird, but I wanted to eat that one again, but I'm not a honey candy..."

Lily's explanation is confusing. She's not sure what to say herself, and she's quietly sobbing.

"Also, that candy makes me want to eat again......! That's crazy, isn't it? Is this it? Hey, honey, is it me? Is it weird......?

With Eileen's chest, Lily weeps. Porous, and from his mouth, the ready to eat honey candy fell and rolled to the floor by the hand.

…………

Eileen looked at Kay with a blue face.

Those eyes say, "Tell me it's a lie."

- It was hemp (...) medicine (...) group (...) tissue (...) that kidnapped Lily.

"Addiction……"

Unable to take Eileen's squeaky gaze, Kay, who covered her face with her hands, groaned small in Japanese.
