After the break, head to the Item Store.

I see my father walking next to me.

Why are you looking around?

No, I'm not paying attention, but I think I'm paying attention.

Is there anyone in this village you don't want to meet?

My father used to be an amazing adventurer working behind the scenes.

I'm sure some of you have a grudge.

Ah, but I'll be more careful if I keep an eye on people like that.

Once again, I see my dad walking next to me.

... I'm not that nervous.

Breathing is the same as usual.

Ehh, what's the status?

What's the matter?

"...... Is there anyone you don't want to see?"

Let's hear it straight here.

What? Someone you don't want to meet?

Looking like this, isn't it?

No, I feel a little upset.

"Why are you asking me that?"

Oh, that sounds right.

I was a little nervous about what I said!

"It seemed like he cared about his surroundings."

But I don't think people you don't want to see are dangerous enough to be on the alert.

Haha, I was just looking for an item store.

Is that so?

"Yes, it is."

Look at your father.

Father laughs as he looks at each other.

I see.

I really don't know with the look on my face.

That's amazing.

How can you control your swaying emotions in an instant?

Is there any way to train him?

Master, do you deliver it directly?

"Ivy, there's an item store over there."

Looking at the way your father points, there is indeed an item store sign on the sign.

Can I come in and have a look?

That's good.

When I walked in with my father, I looked around the store.

In addition to common magic items, I also found rare magic items.

"Welcome"

Can I take a look around?

Here you go.

The owner is a man in his 40s who is skinny and pale.

My eyes are a little sharp, so it seems that my gaze is staring at me.

Take a leisurely walk through the magic items in the store.

Familiar sound insulation items.

There are many kinds, so it's fun to just look at them.

"There's a lot of lights, Ivy." Isn't this cute? "

When I saw the light in my father's hand, it was in the shape of a flower.

It's the first time I've seen it, so I get a little excited.

The lights I've seen so far have no decorations.

"It's true. It's cute."

Do you want it?

"I don't need it."

You don't have to travel.

"... I see."

Why are you so sorry?

Did you want your dad?

I'll take a look at where the cookware is.

Yeah.

From the classic magic items that provide water and hot water,

A hot pot that burns a lot?

There are even magic items that I don't know how to use.

What, this is always a hot plate?

Well, when you put the dish on this plate, it stays warm all the time.

However, the area touching your plate will burn.

"That's not a good idea."

It is good that it does not cool down, but if it is burnt, it is no good.

"Did you get what you wanted?"

"No, I don't think so. Is your dad right?"

I bought it because I was looking for a magic item to take care of my sword.

I'm glad I didn't come to this store in vain.

Let's go next.

Yeah.

When I left the store, more people were walking down the main street for lunch.

When my father holds my hand, he chooses a place with few people to walk.

Go back and take it easy?

"No, let's take a look around a little bit more."

While looking at the shop and stalls, I sometimes stop to grab the product.

It's fun.

It's time to go home.

I noticed that I spent quite a bit of time in shops and stalls.

That's right.

When I headed to the hideout, I noticed that my father's atmosphere had changed a little bit.

A slight sense of nervousness.

Sneak a look around.

I don't have the appearance of being followed and I don't feel hostile.

Ginar said that I was sensitive to disturbing signs.

And yet, I don't know the cause of my father's nervousness.

I wonder if the opponent is that kind of kneading?

“Ivy, what's wrong? Is something wrong?"

Ah, it seems that my nerves have been passed on.

"It's okay. Is your dad okay?"

Huh? Me?

Father looks at me strangely.

What's that?

I should have been nervous a while ago.

"Nothing." Now, let's go home. "

Yeah.

When I arrived at the hideout, I felt multiple signs coming from inside.

Signs from Mr. Garth and the others, and signs from Mr. Ginar and Mr.

Oh, there's Fischer too.

However, I feel that the atmosphere is somewhat different than usual.

"Looks like everyone's back." But is there something wrong? It feels different than usual. "

Hahaha

Eh, how did you laugh?

When I looked at my father, he shook his head.

Let's go in.

Yeah.

Leaning his neck, he heads to the room where everyone is.

It's the room where I always eat.

"Just now..."

»» »» »Happy Birthday» »»

Huh?

Birthday?

I remember being 10 years old a little while ago.

"Ivy, Happy 10th Birthday."

I see my father standing next to me.

Ahhhh!

Eat more luxuriously than usual in a decorated room

Fathers were hiding this.

"Thank you. I'm glad."

I'm glad.

I'm glad we didn't have a problem.

When we all surround the table, Ginar and the others give us the box.

"Congratulations."

"Thank you."

It's like a birthday present.

I'm glad you chose time for me.

I also got it from Mr. Garth.

Yes.

Huh?

Dad, isn't there something wrong with the number of presents?

"Druid, how many are there?"

I can see that Mr. Fischer is in awe.

Mr. Zinal is sighing.

I can't help it, can I?

Looks like there are more than 10 of them.

Fourteen.

"Fufu. Thank you."

Somehow, it makes me laugh.

But I'm glad, but I have to be careful.

"Dad, you can have one birthday present."

It doesn't depend on the number, does it?

No, that's right.

Eh, is this a waste of time?

When I saw Ginar-san, I was shrugged.

"Ahahah. Thank you."

Is it useless?

All right, let's make a choice not to lose your father's birthday.

What's that?

What time is your father's birthday?

"When's your father's birthday?"

"It's April."

Next year.

Let's do our best.

It seems that the man who met Tom helped with the cooking with one of Ginar's people.

It was quite delicious, and there were two dishes that I cared about making.

When I told Ginar-san about it, he promised to tell me how to make it.

"Oh, yes, I've been keeping it from Safsa. Please."

I received a book from Mr. Fischer about this world.

I look at the cover and laugh a little.

Because it was written "all of the emergency places of the human body".

A little reading inside revealed how to efficiently hit a rushing spot.

Let's take a closer look at it later.

“Is it fun, Ivy?”

My father looks at me with a little concern.

"It's so much fun."

Thanks for giving me such a good time, Dad.

- That night...

A Druid's Perspective

"Druid, you have to stop hiding things with Ivy from now on."

I nodded to Ginar's words.

“I know. I never thought I'd be so tired.”

I didn't expect you to notice that I was hiding something.

Both Ginar and Uru are active, and they are incredibly good at what they do behind the scenes.

I'm also quite experienced, ex-adventurer.

I can't believe the attitude of these three people makes me feel weird.

Besides, I was honestly surprised when you came in here looking for us.

Ivy's search was natural and accurate.

Ginar nodded at Ur's words.

"Ah, it was no different from the top adventurers." That was amazing. "

That's right, isn't it?

I'm just looking at the little attitude of the person I'm looking for who taught me.

And even breathing.

Thanks to that, I haven't been able to rest at all in the last few days.

Let's think about the next 12th birthday together.

If you hide it, you'll be nervous about Ivy's gaze.

Yeah, it's gonna be a good birthday to think about together.
