244 239 The way we call it is important

holding on to the reddened cheeks.

"Don't be weird, Mr. Druid!

I'll keep an eye out for him.

Hi, I feel like I've been messing with you lately.

"There's nothing wrong with you."

"It's a lie!

"I'm not messing around because I'm sincerely saying it. I really think you're cute."

I really want it to stop.

Wandering his gaze, he noticed that Mr. Tableau looked a little complicated.

What's the matter with you?

"I hope you don't want to tell me, where did you come from to this village? And what's that got to do with the two of you?

Why are you asking me that?

"We're from All Town. Ivy is a benefactor of life and is now a fellow traveler. Check with the Alltown Alliance for more information. Because we both know Gilmouth."

The benefactor of life says too much, though.

"Benefactor?"

Mr. Tableau alternates between Mr. Druid and me to think of something.

Mr. Druid shrugs his shoulders and stares at Mr. Tableau because I'm not sure.

"... sorry. Seems like my mistake made me feel bad."

Huh?

What's going on?

Tilt your neck and look at Mr. Druid.

"Captain Tableau. Ivy doesn't understand anything before she feels bad."

Mr. Druid, I'm calling Mr. Tableau to head the regiment.

Should I call you Captain Tableau, too?

I don't understand the two of you at all than that.

You should check properly, right?

Even to avoid creating weird misunderstandings later.

"Um, what are you talking about?

Sounds like it's got something to do with me, too, but what the hell are you two talking about?

"Eh, how do I put it..."

Captain Tableau has a troubled look on his face.

I see Mr. Druid because I have no choice.

"Ivy and I look like parents and kids, don't we?

"Yeah."

That's what I've been told by people I met on my journey.

"You're a good parent and child," he said.

I was happy with that one.

"But Ivy doesn't call me Dad by name, so if you look around, you don't know the relationship. If you're related, you're my uncle. Too old for friendship."

Oh, well.

If I were a real parent and child, wouldn't I call you by name?

When that happens, I wonder what we look like.

"Depending on the way you look at it, it looks like I'm forcing Ivy around."

No way that's happening.

"I thought about it a little"

"Eh! How could that be?"

Surprised.

I can't believe they were looking at me that way.

If I 'father' the way Mr. Druid calls me, would there be no problem?

"Big criminal organizations crashed this summer. The victims were tipped off that they were protected, but it seems there may be victims who were secretly taken away. So if there's a traveler out there who doesn't know what the relationship is, they've been notified to confirm it."

Ah, that organization.

"Ivy? Uh, sorry."

I am apologized to Captain Tableau for some reason.

Is that it?

I wonder if even disgust appeared on my face because I was remembering about that organization.

"No, you know what?"

Should I explain?

But you don't really want to talk about it.

"Captain Tableau, Ivy's not offended."

"Oh, really?

"Yes."

I will not be offended by Captain Tableau.

He asked me about what was going on, and confirmation is important.

"Right."

"Bad son of a fool."

I heard Mr. Rose shouting.

And Captain Tableau wrinkles a little between his eyebrows.

"Mother. This is work"

"You were wrong."

…………

Captain Tableau will never beat Mr. Rose with his mouth.

I feel that way.

Probably.

"Is that it? But aren't we also checking the area at the gate?

Must be well researched with magic items about the guild cards and owners.

"Yes, I do, but sometimes there are those guys who get through it,"

Mr. Druid gently strokes my head with a pong.

Really? You mean it's not complete?

"If there's anything else you want to ask, why don't you use the back room?

With that said, this was the entrance to and exit from the store.

You got in the way of business.

"No. With that said, All Town?

"Huh? Oh, it was an all-town mess a while back."

"I heard it was tough. I was wondering if you needed food support, were you okay?

"Oh, I was able to spread Kome as food, so I didn't have a problem."

Interestingly enough, it spread all at once, I guess, because of my food insecurity.

"'Kome'? Livestock?

Mr Tableau has a surprised look on his face.

Well, I guess this is the normal reaction.

"Oh, yummy, but you want some?

"Uh, no"

I don't think so.

"That bothers me. How do you eat that?

I didn't know Mr. Rose would eat it.

"Cook it, put some utensils in the" kome, "and grip it and eat it."

Mr. Druid's explanation is concise, but can you imagine that?

"Hmm? I have no idea."

You can't do it without someone who knows the rice balls.

Oh, then.

"Shall I make it and bring it?

I'm happy to have more companions eating rice.

I might be able to make some furniture just for this village.

With that said, I'd like to know the characteristics of the source of this village.

"Are you sure?

"Yes, it's a name I call a rice balls, but I'm happy to have more people to enjoy it with"

"Then let me ask you a favor. We'll have a couple and a son."

Is that it?

Captain Tableau said no.

When you look right in the eye, you look disgusted.

"It's kind of a tableau. Complaining?"

"No, I won't."

If you can't do it, you have no choice.

"A few years ago, the rain kept me out of production, and food would have bottomed out in the winter, and if I knew I could eat 'Kome' at that time, my kids wouldn't have been as damaged as that. Didn't you?"

Mr. Rose's seeping voice of sorrow and remorse hurts.

"" Kome "is easy to grow, just a little hands on it and it's abundant. Even in the year of the rain damage," Kome "was well taken. Well, the mou didn't die because of it, so this village could go on."

"Right, I'm sorry to play the two dances then. Ivy, can I ask you a favor?

"Absolutely."

If you think of it as food for when it comes, you might want to make it together rather than coming.

Rice changes considerably due to hydrogenation.

It will require an adjustment of the fire to cook.

"Captain Tableau, Mr. Rose. Would you like to make it with me?

"" Huh?

"Right, 'Kome' needs a little trick to cook. If you're thinking about it, you should see how it's made."

Looks like Mr. Druid came up with an idea with us.

"You sure do. Because knowing you can eat doesn't mean you don't know how to cook it."

Mr. Rose seems to have convinced me.

Looking at Captain Tableau.

"Uh, um..."

Hmm?

"Oh, the tableau is clever, but the food is just refreshing. No matter how many times I tell you, you can taste something bad."

Mr. Tableau, who can swim his gaze at Mr. Rose's words.

Bad cooking sounds like Mr. Ratlua.

Speaking of which, Mr. Ratlua used to make soup because it was always bad to have it made.

But I had it stopped just that once.

I don't know what to say... because the feeling alone tasted good enough.

That soup was hard to fix.

"If it's not hard, it should be okay...... I'm sure"

Uh, I feel kind of awesome anxiety.

"Eh, I don't think you should be forced because it's a little difficult. Bring someone who's good at it."

"Pfft."

"hahaha"

Looks like he didn't make it.

Mr. Druid blows out, and Mr. Rose laughs a lot.

I'm sorry, Captain Tableau.

No offense at all.
