170 Quiet story bread is half-wave

"Wow ...!"

Thistle overlooks the city and screams involuntarily.

After connecting several cheap horse-riding wagons from the port town of Kula, we arrived at Winston, the capital city of the Kingdom of Castal, over several days.

The boulevard, which is lined with buildings that look up, felt like a different world to the so-called "redneck" thistle.

The surprise is not limited to buildings. Many people come and go, variety of clothes and equipment, glitter of shops. No matter what, she's the first thing she sees in her life.

"It's amazing ... like a dream"

Bakery Open here in the area.

That is the present thistle dream.

Abandon the name of the KISSHO style, hang his head on the pillow, borrow money, jump out of the island alone ... nothing to lose.

Surroundings oppose this behavior of thistles, which is too “challenge”. However, her intention was firm.

Thistle thought from the heart, "I want to be honest with what I like."

It goes without saying who's affected.

"Well, first, the place."

But reality doesn't go so well.

Thistles have no knowledge of opening a bakery. He was just naive, thinking only about "make bread and sell it."

You need ingredients and space to sell bread. In other words, her plan to decide the location, prepare the materials there, and then just make and sell it… is quite inconceivable.

However, there is no help for it. Born in this direction, thistle is a sword-making technique. Because he was half-received in radio waves in an extremely hard-to-reach island nation such as Tohachi-no-Kuni, he only knew what he had to say about “bakery”.

"Oh, oh ...?"

Thistles looking around the main street notice one fact.

There is no space to open a store anywhere.

This is a matter of course. The most popular place in the kingdom, such as the royal city boulevard, is a popular place that is no exaggeration. It's like a renowned first-class store trying to compete for it. This is not a place where suddenly thistles can easily set up a shop.

"... No, I have to find a place other than here."

Thistles drop their shoulders and leave the main street.

At that time, suddenly a store caught the eye of thistle. It is a small shop with a good old appearance.

The sign says:

"Grocery store Icicle"

Maybe you can buy strong flour and yeast here. With this in mind, thistle decided to take a look inside the store to preview the stock.

"--Welcome!"

Upon entering the store, the sound of a callan and a bell was heard, and the girl on the shopkeeper greeted thistle with a smile.

“…………”

Thistle spelled out.

Cleanliness First of all, this icicle was better than any other she knew. The cleanly polished floor has no stains, and nowhere on the shelves, where colorful foods are brilliantly displayed, does a single fly fly.

Tohachi no Kuni This is natural and very difficult. This will not happen unless thorough hygiene management takes root in the day. Even if the concept of hygiene management was in danger, thistle would have had a good culture shock.

Clothes Next, the cuteness of the shopkeeper girl. Despite the sure greeting with a smile and a polite bow, this one was particularly eye-catching. It doesn't look like a grocery professional, but a neatly sewn white shirt and black vest with embroidery and a cutely designed skirt and ruffled apron. As you can see, it is a high-quality clothing. Why is the grocery store clerk dressed right here? Thistles cannot be understood at once.

"Well, what, look at it."

The shopkeeper's girl broke the silence with her eyes amazed by thistles glances.

"Oh, sorry. Because you were cute."

Thistles squeeze out the nasty lines as Masamune does. In response, the other person turns his face slightly red.

"You, what's your name?" "... Ice." "Thank you. Thistle. I came out of Tohachino Country today.

The girl on the shopkeeper called the name ice. She is a signboard girl at the grocery store Icicle.

Taking the polite bow of ice, thistles gracefully bow.

After receiving a bit of ice, he renewed his response when thistle proved to be a “traveler”.

"Thank you, thistle. And what is it for today?" "Oh, yeah. Do you have strong flour and yeast here?" "I sell it. Do you make bread?" "I'm thinking of opening him." "Hey, it's amazing! Where are you planning to open it?" "It's not decided yet. What do you think is good about Ice?"

As the thistle says too naturally, the ice hardened with his eyes on it.

The other person, who thought he was a traveller, opened a bakery. That's fine. The problem, however, is that the location has not been determined. Moreover, looking back, the fact that we were trying to source materials from retailers like Ishicle was another big problem.

Too ignorant. Ice hung his eyebrows and held his head.

"What's wrong?" What is the notification to the kingdom and the guild? The oven for baking? Do you have any funds to open in the first place?

Eventually, the ice looked up to heaven. He put his hand on his forehead and said "Acha!"

"I'm sorry. Couldn't you be so bad ...?" Ben "Huh ... hey? You're like empty-handed into the forest where monsters are flipping now?" Then, in the past, "Eh?" "Eh?"

I will kiss each other.

After a brief pause, Ice replied, "I'm good."

"I can't do it. You can't do a bakery anyway. I won't say anything bad, so get hired and train at some store first. Learn a lot and then start a business. That's good." "Is that so?" "Yes!"

Ice seems to be getting more and more frustrated with thistle, who is too naive, and gives a little angry but accurate advice.

Thistle, on the other hand, said, "It's like that."

"Thank you, Ice. I've learned so much. Can I come back to shopping?" "Yes, come back. You're really anxious to watch. "Please come and show me." "I'm a very kind person, you ... I understand, I'll do it." "It's not kind. It's my mental health problem."

Ice waved his hands, saying "yes, yes" to thistle, who thanked many times thank you and thank you.

Some people are weird. I think such a thing with a stunned face.

This was the encounter between thistle and ice.

next day. Thistles have been visiting Icicle since the morning.

Also, we report the fact that the inn that entered the room was 4,000 CL per night while weeping halfway.

Ice knocked out thistle, claiming that this was being spoiled, and said, "I'm like that."

Apparently, the prices of Tohachi-no-Kuni and the capital city of Winston differ greatly. Ice this concern was growing for thistles, who are now learning this.

There, uninvited customers come ...

"--I'll bother you."

Opening the door, the young men dressed up in a snap.

Starting with the greeting of the first man, they enter the store. That number five. Apparently, it was not just a guest.

"Well, what are you guys ...! You came to tell me to come out again! Don't playfully! No matter how many times you're told, my store is!" "Okay calm down. "I know hundreds of things that I don't want to go to." "What's wrong with you!" "Oh, it's weird. This is a grocery store. ………! ”

Immediately, Ice revealed his hostility.

The men laugh and laugh around the store.

"Do you know?"

Knowing that this was not the case, Azami asked Ice a word. Ice manages to calm the calm voice.

"... I'm paying for the bar next door. It looks like I'm buying land on both sides and aiming at our land. But no matter how much we pile up, we won't go out. I'm proud I'm doing this store, my mom is the same, I don't want money until I sell my pride. "

It was a sorrowful shout of a small voice. But thistle was enough voice to respect the ice.

She is protecting her grocery store alone with her mother. With a large number of men, you won't retreat even if you take a step.

"They are rumored to be making money from illegal gambling. No, there is evidence. It's the worst thing you've forgotten your pride ... I can't forgive me. I'm the proud people of this city I like it, so I can't even forgive it. Is it mean I'm going to retreat? I'm proud to resist until the end. No matter what harassment I get ... "

Ice shouts at the men, shaking their thin bodies.

-Thistle wanted to give applause unintentionally. She wanted to shout her proud determination out loud to the people of the city.

However, there is no way for the men who gave up their pride, such as the virtue of the ice that thistle was impressed, to understand.

"Hey! Look, this meat is rotten!" "Kusse! It smells terrible!" Will you come again! "

A loud voice that can be heard out of the store on purpose, and evokes nothing.

The men were laughing nasty. "Is it troubled?" He sends even such a glance to the ice.

"Oh, we'll call the knights!" Go out! Go out!

Ice squeezed his fist tightly, screaming vigorously with tears in his eyes.

… Then the men returned to their faces all at once, and said with a sullen voice:

"I'll come again."

For weak ice, it's just fear.

How long will this last? Just thinking about it will dizzy.

"Oh, thistle ...?"

That's why thistle couldn't be overlooked.

Now she's free from school restrictions, she doesn't want to be tied to something and get in the way. Even if it was someone else, I didn't want to miss it. Respect for the proud ice stimulated her pride as a samurai.

Thistle turns off the signs so that the men do not notice, and thinks while moving quietly.

――Ice was proud to be prepared. I'm a proud decision.

"Kyaa!"

Moment when the men put their hands on the door to get out of the door of the icicle. The thistle enters between the man and the door and deliberately screams out of the door.

Something and people walking outside the store pay attention.

"Hey, watch out." "What a guy. We're not bad?"

The men complained a little so as not to be heard by the townspeople.

At this attitude, thistle secretly grins.

"No! Stop it! I'm violated!"

Shortly after doing nothing, thistle shouted. A.

He did the same thing with the men.

"Hello?" "Don't come! Five people come together and try to commit me! This beast!" I'll never forgive you! Someone! Someone! Call a man! "" This! Shut up! "

A shout that clearly indicates a play. The passers-by are deciding whether to intervene.

However, the men immediately felt impatient when the word "bar" appeared.

And she came close, saying she had to shut her down immediately.

In this case, it was no longer the pot that thistle wanted.

「――Tsu」

Flash.

Something Kishisho-ryu Iemoto's "Silver Sword Art" slashed the air.

"Hmm ...?"

The men could not understand what had happened. But now I just knew that the woman in front of her had done something.

It seemed like thistle's eyes looked only for a moment ... the terrible sharpness that even the hellish demon escaped barefoot.

But after a few seconds, nothing happens. The men are relieved that they seemed misled.

"No, oh, oh! Hentai quintup!" "Chit, shit! Shut up!"

Thistles shouting again after a beat. The men took a big step to close their mouth.

Then ...

"Hey! These guys took off like this !? I'm not so motivated!"

"Eh ... Geh !?" "Well !? Me too !?"

Of the five men, their trousers, close to thistles, fell to Ston and ankle.

This time, with this sword, thistle cut off the belt.

As a result, the two men became bare pants.

"Nah, what a woman!" "Fastly stupid! Strange!"

The men withdrew irresistibly.

Raising your pants in a hurry and running away as it is is just a humorous word.

"Wow……"

Passers-by are don pulling.

Many people wondered, "Is that the bar next door?"

……vice versa. Very few people in the icicle believed in the words they were shouting.

Everyone knows. Everyone who lives in this city knows. Icicle is not such a store. It's a proud store that this city is proud of.

So why?

"Well, uh ...?"

Circumstances of the town who knew Ishicle gave a generous offer to thistle, who seemed ridiculous about thistle.

Thistle puzzled. It would also be so. I didn't think it would be a bleak air, and that I wouldn't be applauded by any means.

"Thistle-san!"

Immediately afterwards, Ice, who has seen everything, rushes to thistle.

And.

"What are you doing! Don't worry! You're stupid! You're really stupid! Thank you!

She hugged her tightly on thistles and gave thanks while cursing.

As the thistle hugs the ice, he notices his body trembling.

I was really worried. Thistle seemed to be a worried little sister who took care of the ice of about ten years old, and smiled warmly.

"I'm sorry for the worries. I just wanted to show my pride." "Yeah, I got it. It looked a little bad."

They must laugh and laugh.

After a while the ice quake stopped, the thistle separated and opened his mouth facing the ice from the front.

"I wonder if I can do it in this proud city?" "I'm OK. Thistle, I'm sure. I guarantee." "Um, then, that ..." "?" But ... can you lend me a place in the store?

Ice smiled for a moment, then smiled with a challenging smile.

"Rent is expensive." "How much?" "Work as my bouncer. Then I'll lend you a place with a bed for three meals. How?" "Ah ..." "Ah?" "Cho!

In this way, thistle took the dream of opening a bakery, the first step.

Shortly afterwards, the “Kurimupan” boom will visit the royal capital ... but that's another story.
