Deena, praised by Aotearoa for breakfast, was in a good mood to come to the library alone.
"Hi Guy, Lena"
As it was the two usual scribes who were at the reception, Deena greeted with a little relief.
"Ah, Mr. Deena, it's been a while. Are you alone today?
Guy responds to Deena. Lena seemed in the middle of reading something.
"Yes, it's been a while. First... I'll pay you."
Deena takes the gold out of the bag and hands it to Guy.
"Yes, I'll keep it. What can I do for you today?
Guy treated the gold coins he received to a small safe and asked Deena why she was using them today.
"Er, I was hoping I could gather some information about the Dragon Nation today..."
"You're a Dragon Nation! Please wait a moment!
It wasn't Guy who said that, it was Lena who was reading the book until just now. Lena started taking notes, so Loser and Guy will also check the list of books.
Deena waited smiling at those two. Other officials watched the two from afar that the usual one had begun.
"Yes! This way, please!
It was Lena again this time who gave me the list first.
"Gu, I said this one hasn't..."
Guy keeps checking and picking up, distorting his face.
"Thank you. Er..."
Deena is still motionless from the spot after she receives Lena's paper. That gaze captured Guy, who was still looking at the list.
"Uh, don't worry about him. Please go. I'll have it delivered when I'm done."
"Oh, go ahead. I'll take it with me when they mention a book that will help."
After Guy nodded bitterly at Lena's words, he told Deena to pretend to be calm.
"Uh, I'm sorry. I'll go sweet on your words."
While Deena has some thoughts of getting her hair pulled back, she goes looking for a reference book based on the notes Lena gets. Lena's notes are easy to understand and contain everything from shelf numbers to book numbers, and I immediately have all the books mentioned, so I'll take them to an empty table.
"Well, do you want to start"
Deena plays prep gymnastics with her fingers several times before she starts reading.
Guy, who was able to prepare a list along the way, tried to speak to Deena, but was hesitant to speak to how he was concentrating, so he decided to prepare the book itself and put the book and notes together in silence. It wasn't until hours later that Deena realized it.
Along the way, I went to a coffee shop where I went last time for a lunch break, and then when I get back, she resumes her research in the afternoon.
Aotearoa on the other hand collects information while shopping. At the heart of the information gathered was the story of a dragon who was in the Mountain of Death. Collect sightings and rumors of those who have made their way to the Mountain of Death since then.
"Uh, you seem to have settled that mountain lately. I stopped listening to dragons."
I heard such a story at a few grocery stores.
"What do you mean? That mountain should have been thick with magic vegetables and fierce with the demons coming out, but besides, wasn't there a mountaineering regulation in the first place? Oh, let me buy that fruit in barrels."
Aotearoa will buy ingredients at the price of getting the questions answered.
"Brother, you're generous. Fine, I'll tell you everything I know."
That being said, the clerk woman goes on to talk once she coughs up.
"Honey, that mountain was definitely subject to mountaineering regulations, but was it not long ago? Four brave men came from the kingdom of the south, and with the permission of their lords, were they the magic vegetables of the mountains? I paid for it."
Aotea was surprised that a previously forgotten presence came out of the clerk's mouth.
"What are the names of those four?
I ask questions while hiding my inner upset, but I unwittingly went away.
"Um, I don't know what it was. I just saw it from afar, too. Hey... I was about your age. I can only remember being a brave man and a brave man of three girls."
That was enough for Ethereum.
"Thank you, is this enough to pay?
Aotearoa makes the payment in anticipation of the price tag on the barrel fruit.
"Uh... right. That's enough, I've got enough change."
"No, I don't need fishing. Save it for the price of the story."
The woman smiled at Aotearoa's words.
"No, brother. Nice. So, are we done talking about dragons? I heard you stopped seeing them in the mountains, but there must have been sightings somewhere else, right?
He was Ethereum, distracted by the stories of the brave men and forgotten about the dragon, but the clerk tells me and remembers.
"Is there such a thing... let me ask. Rather, that was the subject."
The clerk nods loudly.
"Fine. I hadn't heard about the dragon sightings since before the brave men went to the Mountain of Death in the first place, I guess they moved somewhere. So you're not supposed to have been crusaded. So here's another sighting… I did hear about seeing it in the southwest valley. The supplier we're delivering told me that the supplier coming from over there is witnessing the house, so I think it's probably true."
"Well... how about at times? If that sighting's been around for a long time, it doesn't match that dragon, does it?
The clerk comes to his mind for a while to wonder about Aotearoa.
"If you say so, you are... hmm"
"Hey, at that age, have you forgotten anything yet?
A male clerk comes out from behind the clerk and teases a woman.
"You... if you were listening, let me know! You know how long it's been going on."
The female clerk looks dissatisfied and slaps the male clerk in the back with a batin to make him stand in front of Ethereum.
"Oh, yes! Mind these women, too. My daughter-in-law gave it to me, but at the end of the day, I'm gonna be laying it on my ass all my life."
The male clerk whispered in the second half so that only Aotearoa could hear him, but the female clerk seemed to hear him, and he was tight.
"Frightened! Well, no, so we were talking about dragons. Sorry, I heard it on the way. I didn't mean to eavesdrop."
With his head on, he apologizes to Ethereum.
"Oh, I don't mind that. I wouldn't be surprised to hear you standing around in a place like this. So, let's talk about the time of year..."
"You did. I'm sure the sightings in the southwest valley came just after I stopped hearing about the sightings in the Mountains of Death. There must be no mistake because I remember hearing from customers in the morning that they stopped seeing dragons, and I heard from vendors in the evening about the valley"
Aotearoa made the man clerk grip him when he took out more gold.
"Oh, come on, honey, I didn't mean it like that"
The man clerk looked slightly outraged, but Aeta takes two different fruits from the nearby barrel.
"Think of it as a price for this and a tribute to you for talking to me until I got slapped. I'll get you some fruit. Good."
Aotearoa moves the contents of the barrel into a magic bag.
"Well, thank you for everything. Hey, Atra, let's go."
Aotea grabbed one of the fruits in her hand herself and threw the other to Atra, leaving the store behind.
"I don't know... you were young but you were all kinds of fancy..."
"That's right... he could have been a pretty good guy"
"Oh my God!
That's how the couple quarrel started, but only the two of us know how it ended.
