CH 20

Ginjiro woke up early today.

Perhaps yesterday’s bath was good for him, as he feels his body refreshed.

Going out to the garden, it was hot again today, but I woke up feeling good.

I washed my face with well water and headed to the dining room.

It was earlier than usual, so the adventurers were having their morning breakfast.

“Good morning, Ginjiro-chan. You are up early today.”

Clara’s smile is soothing today.

The adventurers enjoyed themselves the other day.

They invited me to have a drink with them again, but I have no memory of that day.

I could only smile amiably, but I promised to drink again.

“That’s right. This person is Ginjiro-chan, who taught me how to make hamburgers.”

Clara-san calls out to the young man who is eating a hamburger at the counter seat.

The young man’s name is Harry.

He is a wizard and a graduate of the School of Magic and Wizardry in the Royal Capital. TLN: Hagrid : You’re a wizard, Harry.

Harry is the third son of a baron, but after graduating from the school, he seems to be living as a solo adventurer by collecting medicinal herbs.

A ordinary young man in a robe looks at me with sparkling eyes.

“I wanted to talk to you, the man who made the hamburgers.”

The young man stands up from his seat, smiles, and extends his right hand to me, and I extend my right hand to him as well.

Having a hamburger steak in the morning is heavy, I thought, but since I should not be stingy with people’s favorite food, I kept my mouth shut.

Seeing Harry eating the hamburger steak so deliciously, I thought that one day I would make him a cheese-in hamburger steak or a hamburger steak with demi-glace sauce.

After the meal, I walked down the main street and arrived in front of the fountain square.

As expected, it’s not a good idea to take Elvis out so early in the morning, so I just passed by.

I went to the square in front of the cathedral to look around the morning market.

The popular stalls were lively with people lining up from morning.

The fruit water stall where I was ripped off the other day had no customers.

Now I understand. I know now that this stall is for tourists.

I wanted a glass of fruit water, so I walked to the store Elvis took me to the other day.

Today’s fruit water was kiwi, grapefruit and mint.

It was a very tasty fruit water, perfect for summer.

I told Verrine that the fruit water was delicious again today and left the store.

I stopped by the butcher shop I went to the other day and bought all the beef tongue I could find because it was so cheap.

It won’t go bad if I keep it in the item box, and I can’t believe that such a fine beef tongue costs 5 copper coins each.

If I served beef tongue at a summer festival, I could make a big sale.

But what should I do? If the beef tongue becomes popular, the price might go up.

I’m worried about that even though I haven’t tried it yet.

I wandered around and found a history museum.

The admission fee was expensive (one silver coin), but I have nothing to do, so I decided to enter.

Inside the building, many documents about the city of Mainz and this country were on display.

Mainz is prosperous now, but in the past, it was a place with nothing.

The Mainz family pioneered the development of this place, and over the generations it grew into a large city.

Mainz has a large river and rich soil, which grows crops well.

When the population began to grow, mithril mines were found and Mainz became economically prosperous.

It’s true that people in this city laugh a lot.

There are no slum-like places, and adventurers hunt monsters outside, so there is little danger.

Other sources indicate that the country had a war with a neighboring country about 30 years ago, but now it is in the form of a truce.

This is because the war has exhausted both countries and the movements of the third country have become suspicious.

Although a truce is in place, skirmishes frequently occur near the borders, so relations are not friendly.

Unfortunately, the head Count of Mainz died in the war, and Sophia’s father took over the house when he was young.

Although it was a casual visit to the history museum, there was much to learn.

In the end, Ginjiro continued to look around the museum until it closed.

Back at Hungry Bear, the adventurers I had met that morning were already drinking ale.

When they found Ginjiro, the adventurers treated him to ale.

I told them about Verrine’s delicious fruit water store, and they all knew it as the place with a beautiful lady.

Various men go there to try to woo Verrine-san, but it seems that when they ask her out on a date, they are always turned down nicely.

Somehow I felt like she is Elvis ex-girlfriend or some other suspicious relationship, but the adventurer in front of me, who treated me to ale, seemed to frequent that place, so I decided to keep quiet about it.
