We parted ways with Dad Nord and I went to see what they were selling in the square.

　I'm looking for something tasty and useful in this fantasy world. If we could find some rice or something like that, it would be very wonderful. Will the brightly colored mushrooms I saw earlier be okay?

　I'd also like to go to the cafeteria and try some general food. What kind of food does the average person in this world eat? It looks like they eat eggs, but no omelet, no rice. I think they have egg rolls or something like that. If it's not there, I'll have to get someone to make a special frying pan for it.
　If they serve Japanese food with all their might, I'll seriously shut down Bartolo.



　First of all, I headed over to a guy nearby who was arranging the vegetables.

"Oh, I'll have to exchange? Or do you want to buy it?

　Today's total wealth is two silver coins given to me by Mother Erna and ten copper coins given to me by Bartolo. It's more than enough money for a rural village.

'Hmmm, I'll buy it.'

　Vegetables are laid out on a coarse, linen-like cloth.

　Peas, spinach, carrots, potatoes and dried fruits. Hmmm... this is good.

"How much is all this, mister?

'Oh? We have two coppers for a wooden box full of dried fruit, five for a pea, two for a spinach, five for two carrots, five for five potatoes, and one for a copper, and, well, all of them...

Four coppers and two bandits?

'Oh? Oh, maybe that's about it. Am I good at arithmetic?

Hmmm, well, I guess I can do that, can't I?

If you can do arithmetic at that age, your future looks very promising.

　Smiling, the vegetable brother wraps the vegetables in a cloth.

''Bring something to wrap yourself, or you'll get charged for it, so next time, bring something to put in it. This time it's a service.

Okay! Thank you.

　In exchange for my brother's vegetables, I gave him four copper coins and two bandit coins that I took out of my pocket.

　By the way, the coins in this world are like this

　Ten million yen in black gold coins
　millions of yen in platinum
　large sum of money
　10,000 yen in gold
　silver coinage of 1000 yen
　100 yen per person
　ten yen per person

　It's like the decimal system. I am glad that there are no half-priced coins of two yen, twenty yen, or two thousand yen like in the past. It's more complicated if there are more of them.

　And at a little distance from the square, I use spatial magic to store the things I just bought.

　This is one of the spatial magic, is there anything else you can do besides transfer recently? It was created through trial and error to figure out how to do this. It can also distort space to a small extent, but it can distort space, crush things, cut up space, and even apply gravity if it's a little bit.

　The magic of this storage is the ability to move in and out of subspace at will.
　If you put them in subspace, they won't go bad, even if you put food in them, as if time doesn't exist in that space. With this, you can now bring out food from anywhere at any time.
　I guess the merchants would want this magic so badly that they would want it down their throats.
　When you put it into subspace, it's easy to open the space as if it were a gate, but it's difficult to get it out as you want. If you don't have a clear image of what you put in, you can't take it out, so you have to remember what you put in. When there are several of the same item, it was a relief to be able to figure out how much is left if you can imagine one of them.

　After that, I bought a lot of different foods and a lot of wood and materials that I could use for play.

　Do I remember all of that? I need to write it down and remember it well so I don't get in a hurry to get things out like a future cat-like robot.

　After a while, Nord Dad came back to the square.

　He said the meeting with the village chief was over.

'What have you been doing?'

I was looking around to see what they were selling. Rainbow mushrooms and other weird stuff.

Ha-ha-ha. You'll figure that out when you get older.

　Oh, I see, it was that type of thing. When I asked the lady selling it, she said, "I wonder what it is? And then he treated me like a child and got off on it.

'Nord Dad, let's get some dinner.'

Hmm, yeah. Well, since we're here, let's go have some village food.

　By the way, in this world, it is said that hard working farmers often snack and eat four meals a day.

　I heard that this may happen because one meal is low in calories, but I heard that there are some people who do physical labor with two meals which are low in nutrition in a day in a poor region, and often fall down.

　These days, my whole family is eating three meals a day. After all, it's better to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner.

　We walk into a sign diner with a picture of a spoon and fork and a beer.

　It's amazing because pictures can convey information to anyone, even if they can't read the words.

'Welcome!' Ah, my lord!

　When I walked in, the person who called out to me was an old lady wearing a well-groomed apron.

'Hey, Celia. How are you doing?

Hi, lords, thanks to this spaghetti, we have a lot of customers. But the salt is running low.

　Well, we use a little salt to boil it. Fortunately, we get a lot of salt in a nearby village, so it's cheap, but it's very expensive to get salt to begin with.

Well, it was Al who came up with this idea. This girl is this girl.

Is this Master Alfried?

Yes,

'That's great. Do you have any new dishes?

　Think for yourself. You're a cook, for one thing. But, well, when you inherit what your parents told you to do and what you take for granted, you're naturally hard-headed and don't realize it, and maybe it's inevitable.

　To give you an example, I never questioned the fact that it started with boys to take attendance in elementary school and then girls. Also, it's natural to have a boy's surname when you get married.

Hmmm, there are some, but they don't have the tools or sources...

Do you have it? Tools? I'll let Logan make the tools for you, okay?

Really?

I'll take care of it. I'll talk to that bigoted father, okay? I'll tell him, and you can tell me right now.

Yeah, okay! I'll give you some application ideas then.

　When the business meeting is over, we have dinner and dinner.

'Does Al want to be a cook?'

　Dad Nord asks me with a chuckle.

'No, cooking is just a hobby, okay? The cooks have enough to do with Bartolo.

Hahaha, yeah I don't know.

　As it turned out, there was no Japanese food.
　The menu was soup, nimono and spaghetti. This is a pity. It is true that there are not many kinds of food. We need to increase it.
