Takeo and the others arrived in town at sunset in the evening, took an inn with a kitchen, and everyone went to buy ingredients.
It was a shopping trip with a cu... but I was a little relieved that it got attention from around, but no harm could be done.
Mia wanted apples and oranges and other fruits in the green fruit shop, and Ku wanted chunks of beef in the butcher shop.
Both Takeo and Alice "couldn't help it" bought those two with a sweet response.
Such Takeo is now entering a room with a kitchen in his inn to cook.
"Speaking of which, Miss Alice.
"Yes? What is it?
"You were getting letters from soldiers when you entered town, weren't you?
What did it say?
"Er... wait a minute, please.
Alice sends out a letter from a soldier from her nostalgia and looks inside.
All the travellers were briefly questioned when entering town.
The two of them were convinced that "this is a difference in town too" because there was nothing to say about it in Elvis territory.
In fact, the soldiers were looking for both of them.
"Oh, Layla, it's from your sister, isn't it?
He wants me to come to the city gates after the 9: 00 section bell tomorrow.
They're picking me up.
"With that wording, it's not the Lailas who pick you up, is it?
"Right. Who's coming?
"Come on? But you're thankful to be here, aren't you?
"Right. What do you want me to do about the inn?
Leila, if I were alone, I'd be staying with your sister.
"What do you think? Shall I ask the person who picked me up?
"Right.
So, Master Takeo. What's for dinner tonight?
"I use the wine-stewed vegetables I bought with the meat at the butcher's to simmer.
I didn't think you'd lend me every pot with soup in it...
Later, the fries I bought at the liquor store and the vegetables you subdivided at the green fruit store.
The bread was also sold on the ground floor of this inn, so I guess that's good.
Alice, do the ladies want to take a bath first?
We'll put up some hot water, won't we?
"Is it going to take a little longer?
".
The bath was huge when I saw it earlier, so I'm gonna soak it today, right?
"Then I'll go in first.
"Okay. And make the fire weak... then I'll put hot water in it.
Takeo made the fire weak so that it wouldn't burn, and he went to Yuami Yard.
------------------------
Grandpa Elvis was in his own study with Frederick.
I put the finished report on my desk and devised it.
"Huh..."
What do you care? I leak a sigh.
"... because something happened?
"Um, reports from the merchant over there...
Frederick, you don't mind if I take a look.
"Bye."
and see the report on the desk.
"... this might work a little bit.
"Uhm."
Grandpa Elvis had asked me to submit a report because he wanted to know the rumors in the other city, not because of espionage and intelligence or conspiracy from a merchant in the city where the lord nobility of the demonic kingdom facing Elvis territory was located, but there were a few different rumors this time.
"The Lords are hiding in the clouds... can it be normal?
"Well?
But you're saying in this report that there's nothing strange about the city.
By the way, Lord, why are you getting such a report?
"Hmm? Do you remember about 30 years ago?
"... 30 years ago... it's been a while since I've been over here, hasn't it?
Um... when I was being chased for parenting and work?
"Hmm. By that time, I was still the next Lord. It was my hobby to collect things from the demon kingdom.
I've known that store since then.
Well, I've never actually met him. We still interact through the merchant corps of both countries.
"What do we have here?
"Hmm, I'll be giving you specialties when I get the report. Surprisingly, this stuff is unusual over there.
I thought I'd send Walt whiskey from this year on.
"Really? Would you be happy?
"Come on, what's up? Because I'm the only one who gives away specialties.
Well, how dare you give me a report every month, unchanged?
Grandpa Elvis laughs bitterly.
"I guess they're already doing their monthly routine as well.
"Um, thank God.
This time it was an urgent report. Something has changed the atmosphere in the city.
"Yeah, because the atmosphere in the city changes mainly by stopping by.
This Elvis territory has been perfect since its predecessors.
"Hmm, you're comfortable living there, aren't you?
"Yeah, you can stay calmer than you were when you were in King's Capital.
You were surprised when you first came. Everyone's life is slowing down.
But everyone in the city has a smile. It's a good thing.
Speaking of which, Manager Taylor was also from Wang Du, right?
He's a balmy elite, though.
"... what are you saying? Frederick.
Your lord is an elite, isn't he?
You were at Wang Du's General Inspectorate, right?
"I came here on a business trip when I was tired in a competitive society in Wang Du, married my wife, and I was a displaced fallout.
Frederick laughs bitterly.
"I'm glad your Lord came to us.
How's your grandson?
"Yeah. My daughters are fine, and next time I'm taking a rest and we're all going to eat slowly.
"Uhm, that would be good.
I don't mind if you rest when you can.
Because Alice and the others are going to be busy when they get back.
"Yes, I understand.
Grandpa Elvis and Frederick discuss this frankly.
