CH 24

Ginjiro wakes up early today to get ready.

The reason is that he is going to ask the commercial guild about the stalls at the summer festival.

“Good morning, Ginjiro-chan.”

Clara’s smile soothes me as I begin my day.

It is earlier than usual, so there are still some adventurers in the dining area.

I find Harry, the wizard who asked about the hamburgers, and call out to him.

“The hamburger looks delicious.”

“I’m happy to be able to eat a hamburger in the morning.”

I can’t believe that he eats hamburgers in the morning and every day, but I don’t judge him for doing it because he likes it.

I tell Harry that I want to set up a food stall at the summer festival, so I want to go to the Commerce Guild to talk about it.

He is advised that selling hamburgers at the food stall would be popular, but I tell him that it is shaved ice, not hamburgers.

Harry insists that to try it, so I look at Clara in trouble.

Then Lutz, the eldest son, said he would make it if he could get the tools.

When I took out a block of ice from the item box, Harry asked me if I was a user of ice magic.

I blurted out that I was able to use ice magic because I had special training in my hometown.

“Don’t believe Ginjiro-chan when his nostrils widen.”

Ginjiro is embarrassed when Clara sees through his lie.

“Here you go – shaved ice.”

Lutz brought shaved ice.

The adventurers in the cafeteria wanted some, too, so they tipped Lutz and asked him to make enough for everyone.

“This is delicious.”

“I feel like a king.”

Even though it is still early, it is still summer.

The sun is already high in the sky, and shaved ice on a hot day is the best thing you can eat.

The adventurers ate all of their shaved ice at once, urging Lutz for more.

Lutz gave me a look, so I handed him an extra block of ice in a place where they could not see it.

“Oi, Oi, what would happen if I put some ale in this thing and drink it?”

Surely a drinker could think of something like that.

Are you a genius? The adventurers order ale and start drinking in the morning.

“Phew, I feel like I’m coming back to life. This must be what they call elixir.”

For some unknown reason, the adventurers forgot about today’s work and entered the unknown world of shaved ice ale.

Seeing the adventurers enjoying their drinks and Clara and the others busy working since this morning, I felt that the world is at peace.

As I have felt before, the innkeepers Hungry Bear work very well together.

Lutz, the eldest son, makes shaved ice so that customers can enjoy it.

The second son, Hanz, sees a business opportunity, removes the wooden door, and sets up chairs and tables in the open space.

Franz, the third son, works with Clara at the tables, taking orders.

Bernie spent the morning creating a menu of dishes that would go well with the drinks.

Adventurers passing by the inn also ordered without a second thought when they saw the lively Hungry Bear and the adventurers drinking shaved ice ale in the hot weather.

Ginjiro handed an extra block of ice to Clara and decided to step out of the inn.

“I’ll go with you, Commercial Guild.”

Harry, the wizard, calls out to me.

He is a solo adventurer and was planning to go out today to collect medicinal herbs.

When Ginjiro was going to the commercial guild, he offered to show him around.

“That’s very kind of you, but don’t you have to go to herb picking?”

“I only have the usual requests right now, so that’s not a problem. There are also requests from the commercial guilds to collect herbs, which I will discuss with the person in charge too.”

Since it would be helpful for Ginjiro, he decided to ask Harry.

“Harry is an aristocrat, right? Why are you an adventurer?”

While walking to the commercial guild in the center of town, Ginjiro talks to Harry to get closer to him.

“Even though I’m a nobleman, I was poor, and since I was the third son, that made me just like any other adventurer. Well, I was still an aristocrat, so I could go to the School of Magic and Wizardry in the Royal Capital.”

By the way, Clara told me that he is a graduate of the School of Magic and Wizardry in the Royal Capital.

I don’t know if it is an amazing place or not, but I am interested in learning more about magic.

“If you have time, could you teach me some magic?”

I asked Harry and he said, “Let’s go to the magic shop next time and see how much magic you have.

He told me that my magic bag seemed to have a large capacity and that I might have surprisingly good qualities.

We arrived at our destination in no time after our pleasant conversation.

The guild is located in the center of the city, and there are many horse-drawn wagons loaded with goods.

“So this is commercial guild.”

Ginjiro excitedly opened the door of the commercial guild.
