24 23. Have A Good Dinner.
Darya and Wolfe walk a little longer and continue south of the Central District.
At Wolfe’s recommendation, he headed to the store where there were many types of alcohol for the common people and heavy dishes were served.
Upon entering the red roof shop, Wolfe asked the clerk for the deepest private room.
Even when it comes to private rooms, three sides are walls and one side is the type of collision.
“Well, now it’s time to eat well. Which one would you prefer? There’s a lot of red wine, too. I just want you to give me a break for the wine barrel.”
The menu table I was given is terribly thick. I was surprised because I said this half was alcohol.
“Wine barrels… there are”
Behind the menu were red, white, rosé and three wine barrels.
“It’s for adult celebration.”
In this world, there is no custom of a common man wearing a dress and having a wedding. Gather with relatives and friends to eat and drink at home or in a store, often on holidays when that was some time after the marriage was filed.
Well, I ended up without experiencing the event.
“Now, with white ale, please”
“Well, I’m in black ale. What about the meal? Hopefully, but why don’t you ask for some and split it up?
“Well, you can eat a lot.”
The clerk came to take the order, so I answered as I widened the menu.
“White and black of ale one at a time, two sets of seafood roasted skewers, pork and vegetable fritter sets, steamed chicken. Where’s Mr. Darya?
“Deep-fried Potatoes with Black Pepper and Grilled Soybeans, please”
As the clerk left, Wolfe sat back in the chair once.
“I’m sorry, can I put this on the bug proof?
It was a small silver triangle cone that was removed from my pocket.
It is an anti eavesdropping device used by nobles and large merchants.
“Go ahead. I don’t think we’re going to talk about anything other than keeping it a secret.”
“In my case, I don’t talk about secrets, I use them when I want to talk casually with my team friends.”
As Wolfe swept her hand, the silver triangle glowed pale and blue.
“I have a favor to ask you first. In case I get crushed, I want you to drop me off at the Royal Castle barracks and ask for a carriage.”
“Okay. If I can’t move, please send me to the green tower on the West End.”
It’s a story that makes me want to say if it’s a crushing assumption, but this is mandatory because we’re not close friends.
I don’t even know where to send it if I don’t know the house.
There’s a ‘feed carriage’ near the mall and downtown that works like a taxi, so you’d better have it sent home.
“Me, I haven’t had a crush on booze yet. Where’s Mr. Darya?
“I’ve never been crushed, but I’ve never had more than degrees”
“How much have you had?
“In the meantime, I drank four bottles of red wine and I was able to work normally”
“That’s generally enough, isn’t it King Snake?
The King Snake (Kingsnake) is what is said in the previous life, even of Uwabami.
King Snake (Kingsnake) is a kind of desert demon that can be evoked by the smell of alcohol, and it seems to be a kuchi that can be done. I’ve heard of catching drunk places because I drink them out when I keep the liquor in a large pot.
“Because I haven’t had much to drink beyond that. How long is Mr. Wolfe?
“In the meantime, it’s the experience economy that’s fine with white wine up to the digits”
“Girder up…… you’re a totally big sea snake (sea serpent)”
Girder up means 10 or more.
The Great Sea Serpent (Cesar Pent) is above Uwabami. ‘Basic, don’t get drunk’ is the word that refers to people.
I don’t know if this world is the difference between physical things or because of magic, but a lot of people are very strong on alcohol.
Darya herself is much more able to drink alcohol than she was in her previous life, but there is one up there, so I cannot say that she is very resistant to alcohol in this world.
“The Knights are the Great Sea Snakes (Sea Serpent), but they’re finally here”
“It’s hard to afford them. I knew we’d split this place up.”
“It’s kind of like a snake coming out of a jar, but I’ll let you go back. Yeah, well, if you’re gonna drink barrel liquor, let’s split it.”
Anyway, I think he’s willing to stay for the day. Darya decided to ask honestly.
“Well, celebrate the reunion again”
“Celebrate the reunion”
The liquor and dishes have begun to arrive, so I’ll toast with ale first.
The white of the cold ale had a diluted taste. Still, the hop smells very good, and with a slight bitterness, it passes too much through a refreshing stream down my throat. I don’t have much carbonation, but I think that’s just right for the taste of this liquor.
Wolfe, who drank black ale, has already kara the first glass with a toast. The contents of the bottle were also likely to disappear soon.
“Now, is it hard for you not to hesitate to talk about it? If you keep it bugged, you don’t have to worry about people asking around.”
“I was wondering if it would be good for boulders against the Counts…”
“Me, I only have a name in the Scalfalotto family, but I’m the last child, and I’m so let go that I can’t escort or tail him from the house. My mother was an unidentified Third Lady, and I grew up in a separate residence, and now I live in a barracks. That’s why I don’t like what I might have done. Can’t you?
The golden eyes look at this one slightly nagging.
Why does it remind me of a medium-sized dog I had in my previous life, in front of all these beautiful young people?
“… ok. I am a common man and I do not know aristocratic etiquette, and let me speak quite easily. So, what is this bug proof magic guide made of?
“The magician of the castle said he would make noise over the sound to offset it. Not all the conversations, but the noise is irregularly gone, so if you stay away, you can’t hear it. It’s unnatural and unusable just because it’s stuck next door to the table.”
“I see. So you can’t even handle lip reading.”
It doesn’t sound like perfect bugging protection, it just sounds hard to hear naturally.
“That, Mr. Dalya, could you possibly have a job over there?
“I don’t know which way that is, but I’m just a life related magic guide in a commercial guild, right? A hairdryer or a waterproof cloth? When it comes to anti-bugging magic equipment, it’s probably more of a magic instructor than a magic instructor.”
“That’s what it is. I thought most of these magic tools were magicians.”
Split the freshly cooked soybeans in half, then grab a ale and pinch. Hot and creamy is a little tricky, but fragrant, with a fluffy and sweet aftertaste. Scorching, salty baked beans were a common flavor of the previous life.
“Mr. Wolfe, the atmosphere just changed so much that I was surprised”
“I was wondering if I could use some to cut the story off. When that is making you look like a nobleman. Maybe, yeah, we should talk about it?
“I want you to stop. As far as I’m concerned… I want to do everything in my power to stay away”
“Good. I’m tired of continuing because the ground is this. I wanted to look more like this and feel like a mess that suited my personality.”
If the average man hears, it is a dialogue that is likely to be protested with all his might.
But it would be true that beauty has beauty problems.
Those with whom Darya was often in college also had some difficulty thanks to her beautiful appearance.
“Sounds like you get a lot of voice.”
“I grabbed it three times from the barracks to there today”
“It’s hard to walk…”
“He’s wearing a hooded cape or glasses when he walks alone. Today, I was deliberately walking to stand out, wondering if… maybe you’d find me.”
“Excuse me…… at least I should have named you properly and made sure you got in touch via commercial guild”
“I’m sorry this is a pitiful story. I’m not blaming you, and I just really wanted to talk to you again…”
Wolf put his head on with one hand.
“It’s a reunion, let’s switch, let’s eat”
“Yeah, that’s right”
I was given half a set of seafood grilled skewers, so I decided to eat them in order.
It was a large shrimp, a small fish, scallops, and Kraken. They are all salt-baked.
The rounded shrimp was puffy, about the size of a fist, and quite edible.
The fish is whole and slightly similar to Sishamo, but the colour is bright red. The white sweetness of the fish and the bitterness of the gut are irresistible. Maybe this is demonic too.
Scallops are quite large, but they were sweet and tender when baked.
The strange thing was Kraken.
Kraken, a demon, is cheap and massive food and material because fishermen and mercenaries regularly catch in large fleets.
It is only partial because it is easy to eat and cut, but it feels a little reddish brown on one side and it looks tacky. But when I try it, it feels like a toothy, fragrant squid.
Kraken is said to smell, but I don’t care at all if this one here is good for treatment or cooking.
“Have you ever wondered which way Kraken is close to, octopus or squid?
“Oh, it looks octopus, I guess it’s close to squid from the taste. I don’t know if you’re eating this much, but imagine how many servings there are alone, it’s amazing.”
“Right. This is the season, and I want to support you as much as I can with the Ice Magic Wizard.”
Depending on Kraken’s size, it’ll be for a few warehouses. It dismantles to some extent even in the sea, but it has to be further fine-tuned in order to flow to the market.
Except in the middle of winter, a usable magician of ice magic puts ice all over the warehouse, turns it into a refrigerator state and dismantles it.
When I was in high school, a usable student of ice magic made it a good byte.
Continue and ask for an extra ale while eating a set of fritters, a black pepper fried potatoes. Now it was time for the two of us to turn it into a red ale.
“… really red”
‘Cause you’re using red barley.’
I change the angle of the glass to see that beautiful shade like ruby.
It was quite fruity when I tried it and it had a lot of carbonation. It tastes very good with oil.
Especially the fried potatoes cut into pieces and sprinkled with salt and plenty of black pepper was a combination that wouldn’t stop anyway.
Maybe it’s time to worry about the belt holes in your hips.
“The magic grant of a magic guide is usually up to one?
“Yeah. Normally, one for an individual is fundamental. It’s a realm of good wizards and alchemists.”
“What do you do when a high-ranking demon conductor calls more than one? Have you heard of Mr. Darya?
Wolff said as he split the whole steamed chicken without a head into two vertical pieces with the knife he followed, splitting it into plates. The guts are drained, but it is quite a sumptuous dish.
“I think there’s probably a secret way to do it for each of its magicians and alchemists, but once you’ve granted it magic, you think you’re going to do something that won’t start magic, and you’re going to do it from above. I don’t know if that process is magical or a drug.”
“Right. I guess it won’t be easy. When I heard about the knife last time, I was hoping that the Crusader’s sword would be fitted with stiff reinforcement and washing. And, you know, lighter when you carry it.”
“… hmm?
Darya looked at the knife that had finished cutting the steamed chicken still.
I put my hand on my forehead for a while and ask Wolfe, thinking about the shape of my sword.
“Mr. Wolfe, of the sword you use in your unit, is it a replacement for a sheath?
“Oh, I’ll be normal. Sometimes it cracks.”
“I thought, can you replace it, not treat it as a separate individual? I don’t know if it’s possible, maybe I already did it and couldn’t…… disassemble it, harden it on the blade, purify it with water magic or wind magic on the (tsuba), clean it when I blade it, lighten it on the sheath (no), and then assemble it?
“It…”
After the golden eyes opened wide, its mouth painted the letter U beautifully.
“It would be great if I could. Our troops will be easier, and it’s a totally artificial demon sword, isn’t it!
Apparently, the last one is for real. My voice is getting louder and I’m hurrying to hold my mouth.
When he talks about the Devil’s Sword, he sometimes gets a childish look. Its eyes are strongly stained with curiosity and the colour of adventure, how interesting to watch.
“I’m sorry, I was so excited by myself…”
“Mr. Wolfe, you really like the Devil’s Sword”
“Yeah, demon swords and other magically granted weapons because I have dreams. I can’t grant it myself, but what I’m thinking is fun in itself…”
“I also like magic guides, and I enjoy thinking about new things in themselves, so I know very well…”
This man and I are only similar about this – Darya understood.
And perhaps the man in front of you also understood. My golden eyes are laughing with great pleasure.
“Do you still have time today?
“Yeah, I’m fine”
“It’s going to make good liquor.”
Wolfe vacated the rest of the glass of booze at once.
“In the meantime, let’s talk over steamed chicken”
It’s time for the two of us to start eating steamed chicken as we talk.
It has cooled down, but I am moist and soft, and relaxed in my mouth. There was no odor at all, and it tasted good either as it was or with sauces made with onions and spices.
“Shall I add alcohol? I’ll ask Aquabit for ice, but what do you want?
“What kind of alcohol is Aquabit?
“It’s potato distillery. It smells a little like Callaway and it’s easy to drink.”
“Well, the same, please”
Wolfe went to order and the clerk immediately brought me a bottle and a glass of ice full of ice spades.
“Well, cheers for a new drink, too. Good luck tomorrow, though.”
“Wish me luck tomorrow”
Say a common toast and toast for the third time today.
Iced and chilled Aquabit is mild and easy to drink. Tastes good, but the moment I flush it down my throat, I can’t wait to soak up the green scent of Callaway.
But this is a strength that is suddenly going to come to your knees if you drink too much.
“… be prepared to be rude. What, may I call you Darya? I’d like you to call me Wolf.”
“I don’t mind being called, but it’s hard to call. Because I’m a common man.”
“Okay.” To treat you as an equal friend in Ichii, “I’ll put in a notary to write a document that says I won’t disrespect you for anything you say.”
What a terrible joke.
There’s no way you can use a valuable notary for this, and then the implications of the problem are subtly different.
I am afraid that it will mainly affect women, then nobles such as the Counts, then jobs.
“But it is.”
“I’m four men and my youngest son and my mother is from the Baron’s house. My mother’s not here anymore, and my mother’s home is back to the civilians with no back shield. Instead of water magic, I can’t even use five-element magic, even though I’m a Scalfalot family. Either way, I plan to leave for the city well through aristocracy. So when it comes to getting ready for it, I’ll come through.”
Five-element magic refers to fire magic, water magic, wind magic, earth magic, and healing magic.
It is magic that is basically easily regarded as important in nobility.
“Aren’t you going into some noble house as your son-in-law?
“You can’t be more noble than a Viscount and have no five-element magic. Marriage itself is fine, but I need an adopted son or another man’s child to succeed me. Because there are many places where a house can’t inherit without five-factor magic. It is visible that even when I go to my son-in-law, it will be kept as an ornament. Yeah, some of them expect their daughters to be born, so they can target the next generation of balls.”
“It was a world I didn’t know……”
Then I spoke to Wolf, and he said that leaving the aristocracy is quite a lot.
In the aristocracy, the eldest son or the brilliant one is traced, and one is left as a spare. Other than that, basically, I just have to go to my son-in-law or go down to the common man.
Women have cases of balls, but they still mostly go to aristocracy to daughter-in-law, to wealthy merchants or to citizens in positions.
I say that it is fundamental to do so, because the overall number of nobles does not increase.
My father was the Baron Emeritus, but only for one generation, and all I knew was that Dahlia, a common man, did not know.
“It’s tough for nobles, too.”
“I want to be easy, so some people are married mistresses. My country has both polygamous and monogamous husbands, but unlike your husband, there are far more in the form of swordfish because there are fewer wives as second and third husbands”
By the way, one of the things that surprised me in this world is marriage, in this case marital status, but there is a difference.
In this country, polygamy, polygamy, same-sex marriage, etc. are normally permitted when filing marriage notices with the bureau.
Most commoners have the largest number of monogamous couples, with the next largest number of polygamous couples in wealthy businesses, etc.
He is a nobleman, and in addition to polygamy, he has a monogamous husband because of the inheritance of scarce magic, or because of his successors, or because of the implications of protecting his territory and property.
The aristocracy, at first glance, looks gorgeous, but the truth looks pretty tough.
“I’m sorry if this is strange…”
Wolfe laughed bitterly as she poured more aquabit into the two glasses.
“Hey, Darya. If I take the squad’s sword, can I try the magic grant I just gave you? Of course, I’ll pay the cost and the fee in words.”
At some point they are naturally abandoned, but there was no wonder and discomfort.
“If you’re a name… for now, it’s just about when you’re two. So, the magic grant becomes useless when it fails, so let’s sneak around the cheap dagger first, Wolf”
In Darya’s reply, the young man opened his golden eyes only once, and laughed as the light spilled.
“Oh. Nice to meet you, Darya the Magic Instructor”
