The pig's nose lets out a heavy breath.
　There's a lump of pork lying on the floor.
　A nine-year-old girl wiping the sweat from her forehead with a radiant smile next to her.

"Hmm! It was a close call, but it was a big come-from-behind victory!"

　Libekas' competition for food supplies was a narrow victory for Libekas after a fierce battle.

"Don't do it, Assunt," Nice dead heat."
"Why, as a result of all my haste, no, no, no, no, a narrow margin."...whoa..."

　Assault, who is out of breath when it's not directed.
　I'm sweating all over.

　Bartha is now back leisurely, far behind Libeka and Assund, who have sprinted as fast as they can.
　This guy must have adjusted Libeka's speed.
　If they were competing normally, Assund would have lost badly.

　He looks cool and holds the point firmly.
　Mr. Barr does a good job. I've got a good grip on Libeka's delight.

"This is Assunt," How long have you been rolling? Don't you cook early? I'm afraid I'll have a good meal now!"
"Oh... no, the food..."

　I was gazed at.
　It was already a soulful look.
"If you move any further, you will be in such a terrible situation that you can't face it."""
　Assault is desperate.

"I'll leave the cooking to Mr. Jiro. He works for the best cook in the 42 wards."

　Natalia recommends me to bring the situation together.
　I work at a restaurant with the best chef in 42 wards...Well, I'm not mistaken. It has nothing to do with my cooking skills.
　Either way, there is no problem because I intended to make it.

　It's a little dangerous, though, that this Natalian rescue ship has begun to make her eyes sparkle like "Mr. Natalia ... a good man!" It's strange of you to make a loan to Natalia.

"Well, can you lend me your kitchen?"
"I'll show you around,"
"I'm going to see it, too!"

　Leading by Bertha, Libeka pulls her skirt out of the room.
　Estella and Natalia followed me, with only oily pigs lying on the floor.

　It looks like it will be aged by the time you come back, it's good.





"It's delicious!"

　Rebekah with a big smile on her face.
　...that's right. How much trouble do you think you've had?

　Even if it's not spicy enough, they're killed in one word, "It's still spicy!" and they're asking me to make it again, and at last they're slapped with "Are you going to kill me with spicyness?"... too good a child is so cute that he wants to pick his neck and throw it into the mud."really...

"Yasilo, don't you look like a demon when you eat?"

　Estella, sitting next to me, hits me in the ribs with her elbows.
　You're fine, aren't you? I'm just eating delicious food without any trouble!

　...nine-year-old taste buds are too sensitive. d*mn it!

"This is certainly delicious. It's incomparable to the previous 'mameita soy sauce.'

　Bertha, who seems to understand the difference in taste, is sure to stamp her seal.
　nod admiringly and carry a spoon to one's mouth many times.

"If you mature it properly, it will taste deeper."
"Huh! You're suddenly motivated!"

　Libeka, the only one eating a very sweet Mapo eggplant, raises her fist and barks.
　According to Bertha, Libeka's job is to manage koji, and miso and soy sauce are made by other craftsmen. Then I don't think there's any place for you to do your best.

"You're developing koji that goes well with bean paste soy sauce! I'm sure there are koji that go well with you!"

　He has a tremendous enthusiasm.
　Well, it would be a good idea to leave the specialties to the experts. If there is such a kind of malted rice, I'd rather have it made.

"But what about this eggplant? It's as good as I can imagine, isn't it?"
"Yes, yes, yes," It's a thick, crunchy, delicious eggplant."
"Wow! As expected, Estella!" He's got a good tongue."

　Well, Estella probably doesn't have a delicate tongue to tell whether eggplant is good or bad, but when asked if it's good, it's a normal delicious eggplant.
　But it's just normal.

"... Loretta, what are you doing now?"
"Yasilo... I can imagine why the name came out, but shall I weigh myself a little?"

　get a nail on one's head
　But, you know, it's not such a proud taste, you eggplant.

"Is this any special eggplant?"

Natalia plays the role of "The Ignorant Servant" and asks questions on behalf of Estella.
　Estella must be hard to listen to before they say, "As expected."

　Rebekah puffs up her nostrils with pride when she listens to Natalia's question.
　I guess this eggplant is something I want to brag about.

`This eggplant is a 'church eggplant'!'
"Church eggplant?"

　He glances at Assund to see if there is such a thing, but Assund's expression. I don't think I've heard of it.
　Are there any specialties of the twenty-four wards that Assunt doesn't know?"

　Bertha quietly sent us an answer, perhaps because of the '?' mark flying between us.

"It's just eggplant," It's just a church-grown eggplant."

　Stirring the Mapo eggplant, he says with a clear face.
　Since I grew it in a church, "church eggplant" ... well, I got it. But why is Libeka proud of such an ordinary eggplant?

"Someone with a strong attachment will come to you, though I regret to say that I have not been able to see you to-day."
"This, Versa! You don't have to say anything! I didn't go out of my way to church to see him." I just wanted to feed Estella-chan because the eggplant over there was delicious.""'Spirit's,'
`Don't do horrible things with a straight face!'

　Rebekah slaps Bertha's straight outstretched hand with all her might.
　I confessed by that action that what I said was a lie, but... who has a strong attachment to the church, you know.

"...poor boy,"
"Well, that's what it looks like, I'm sure,"
"It may be because of him that he wants to be an adult."
"Everyone likes someone else's love... I'm not very interested in it."

　Like Libeka, we all knew what was going on, felt sorry for the unknown boy, and a few seconds later we forgot all about it and smacked our lips at the Mapo eggplant.

　Well, since you're young, you should go through one or two heartbreaks.
　It was a mistake in itself to touch such a young woman.

"What? After we all grinned." It's kind of disgusting."

　The kid is embarrassed and mischievous in front of me. Is that so, or is it embarrassing? That's fresh!

"Ribeka, you're just a girl, so you can fall in love. There is nothing to be ashamed of."

　When she gave her adult's generous words, Libeka opened her eyes wide in surprise and quickly dyed her face red.

"Oh, my knight... oh, you...!"

"Why can you read my heart!" I thought of some vague words coming up. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "

"Are you trying to win over me!"

　A tremendous surge hit the back of the head.

"No!"
"Never mind a hermit! You're a man, and if you touch a young maiden, you'll feel a pain in love... I shouldn't be too cute."

　You've got a terrible misunderstanding, me!?

`I don't know... I mean, I've always thought I shouldn't be looking at you strangely obscenely... oh, erotic, my knight!'
`I don't remember looking at him!'
"Joking again," I could feel the erotic gaze of Mr. Jillo in these Versa eyes, too."
"Are you on that side too, Versa?"

　What are you talking about in your sleep, you little boy and Babaa!?
　Who's going to look at you with erotic eyes!

`Don't be too proud of yourself, you little squat!'
"That's how it gets directly into your heart, so you call it an erotic stare."

　Estella gives me a cold stare.
"Yasilo, you're finally such a kid or an old man!" and I'm still fine with not giving you back the trouble, but... just follow me.

`But, my knight,' In order to marry me, it is absolutely necessary to marry my son-in-law, hammer the knowledge of koji into his body from scratch, and take over this factory and room. Are you prepared for the sonata?"
"No,"
"Why don't you show a little more guts? Come on, young men these days are sloppy!"

　He called me a young man who lived only a quarter of my life... Oh, I'm 37 years old. . . . . . . . . . . . . . I should I? No, I'm seventeen years old, and I'm still all right. I'm sure it'll be all right.

"But Mr. Jillo may have a good chance,"

　Bertha, who he thought was relatively decent, begins to talk nonsense. I'm afraid I've begun to feel stupid in this short time.

"I heard that you know a lot about koji, and the fact that you brought in a new seasoning called mameita soy sauce is highly appreciated. Above all, it's amazing that you know the taste of my youth, tofu. Why don't you take it seriously, sir? Marry me!"
"Is it you?"

　I was surprised! I was so surprised that I had a really solid feeling of tsukkomi.
　If you think you're going to push me to marry Libeka, I'm looking for my own husband!
　Isn't it the beginning of my stupidity!?

"First marriage!"
"I don't know!"

　For some reason, Versa is fresh and confident. My impression of this guy has completely changed by 540 degrees. It's a turn and a half.

　d*mn it!
　It was a mistake to say, "You can fall in love with me, too," in an attempt to show a little bit of brotherly leeway. ... these guys, Uh-huh!

"Then, let's make bean paste like this."
"What!? It seems that my knight has begun to give out an aura that he wants to come home early!? Are you embarrassed? Well, I don't know."
"Well, don't hurry. Please take your time, ladies and gentlemen. If you don't mind, I'll have a futon ready for you, so why don't you stay?"

　Ouch, Ouch, Oucha Versa.
　Didn't you say that it would be troublesome to hold another lord for a long time ago?
　And the futon. not in bed

"All right, let's leave Assent behind."
"I'm sorry, but I'm married,"

　I've been refused. You look more like a sacrifice than any of us! You're a man of the line who wants to sacrifice the devil!

"Mr. Libeka,"
"Why, Versa?"
"Tomorrow... I might oversleep." . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ."
"Well, here we go! Don't let the lord wait! Let's go early and wait at the gate about two hours ago! That's courtesy,

　I have goosebumps all over.
　What on earth did Versa like about me?

　...I wonder if this is how he feels when he gets lost in a psychic spot...It's cold. I can't stop.

　Will I be able to escape from this nightmare if I declare, "I'm in love with Estella!"?
　. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . A thoughtless remark is fatal, yes.




　That's why we decided to leave the factory.`I wish I'd been more slow,'
"I personally agree. However, everyone is busy. I can't force him to stay."
"What? It's boring."

　A puffy Libeka shakes my clothes by the hem. Don't do that. It grows.

"I'll definitely come back again, Estella!"
"Yes, by all means,"

　Estella is assuring me with a good face.
　I can't possibly come to such a far district.

"Ascent will compete again."
"Well, yes... well, certainly again,"

　It's a great twitch, but I think you've made a few gaffes out of it, and it's a long way to go for Assunt... phew. I hope you'll run around in a sweat again.

"And Natalia, the head waiter,"

　Libeka calls Natalia and then suddenly begins to hesitate.

"I'm asking for a lecture on how I can become such a grown-up woman as you next time."

　What!?
　You want to be like Natalia!?

　Is this an issue that should be prevented with all one's might?
　A little girl (though very cheeky) is going down the sorry road. After all, we should stop here with all our might, as adults!

"Mr. Libeka,"

　Before I stopped him, Natalia began to speak in a calm tone.

"Adult women are feminine attractions. So even when no one is watching, it's important to always brace yourself, control yourself, and look at yourself objectively."

　Oh, you're saying something decent.
　Natalia, the head waiter, may be better than the others when it comes to self-discipline.
　Don't you have to go out of your way to stop that advice?

"So I recommend you to go to bed naked."
"What are you saying, my dear?"
"First of all, be careful what you say, Natalia!"

　Natalia, who looks cool and has an innate regret, says casually, without getting upset by Estella's double-kkomi.

"If you spend time naked, you can always observe your body line. The sight of them strengthens both physically and mentally."

　I'm starting to talk about something plausible, you unfortunate girl!?

"It's usually better to be naked when you're at home... but it's tough for amateurs. You may catch a cold. That's why I made concessions only when I went to bedtime."
"...why are you so proud?"
"Are you an amateur... a naked professional?"

　Well, I don't think I'll be able to accept such stupid advice.
　If you don't listen, you'd better be disappointed at best.

"Take good notes, Versa!"
"I'm sure! I'll put it into practice from today!"
"Don't do that!"

　I feel like I'm going to bother the neighborhood! Even if I'm surrounded by walls!

"If you look at it... Da-me."
"Ascent. Don't you handle longsword or anything like that?
"No. Miso and soy sauce will disappear from the market without Mr. Versa?"

　Hey!
　Well, he's in control of the factory, isn't he?
　...I don't want to leave yokai alone...!

"Well, then, we're about to do it said.

　Estella bowed her head and Natalia bowed respectfully.
　Assundo bowed like a merchant, and I raised my hand to greet him.

"It's been quite a good time! You're my friends! You can always count on me if anything happens!"
"Make tofu for me".
"That's impossible!"

　I was refused with a big smile.
　...if soybean production can increase.........Mapo tofu... I won't give up...!

　Just as we did when we came, we walked to the inn.
　They seemed to have lived quite a long time, the sky had become quite bright and the city was overflowing with people.
　It's almost noon.

　We go back to the inn and Assund to the peddler's guild.
　That's the last time I've seen you.

　Apparently, they are going to report this and that to the peddler's guild.
　Before that, they are supposed to bring us a carriage in front of the inn.

　When I finished packing and checking out, a carriage arrived at the right time.
　Riding on it, the horse begins to walk at a leisurely pace.
　Head for the lord of the twenty‐four wards.

　finally meet one's
　I feel like I've taken quite a detour.

I'm going to lay the groundwork for dismissing silly requests from BU.
　If possible, I'll pull you in and invite you to collapse from within.

"Yes, I hope it goes well... but I don't think it's a straightforward partner."

　Speaking in the carriage, Estella said so.
　a lord called stubborn Zizi
I don't think there's anything more unexpected than a difficult koji craftsman. I've seen him once, too. Well, I just saw it, but I didn't have a conversation.
　He's just a real stubborn person.

　I don't know what kind of guy he is until I tell him... but now I'll do what I can.
　using this time to get to the lord's house

"Hair, bald, bald, bald, bald, bald!"
"... you don't feel better if you don't do you?

　When we meet for the first time, I'll tell you right now that I'm so surprised at how bald I'm getting out of my mouth.

"...I hope you don't fall into a habit and leave me alone."

　Oh, that's the kind of danger I was in, learning how to do it. I was swayed by a carriage.
