689 The melancholy OF your father

"Good day."

Receive a cup from Ginar.

I can tell from the scent, it's alcohol.

Looking at Jinnal, he laughed and lifted the glass a little.

It's all over today. After that, the person from the original church will take over. That's all I can do. "

I thought it would take longer, but it was sooner.

Well, thank you for your hard work.

I hit each other a little and took a sip.

The heat when it passes through the throat.

Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've had a drink.

"... that's good."

It's my favorite flavor and it's good.

And yet, I feel like I'm running out of something.

Why is that?

There is no problem with alcohol.

And yet, I need something... a knob.

Ivy creates crispy, spicy knobs.

What's the matter?

"No, I just wanted a knob to make Ivy."

"Ha ha. Unfortunately, it's not here."

I know.

"Yes. Can I have this, please?"

Remains of tons of magic items piled up in church warehouses.

The little knife I found in it.

The handles are nicely decorated, and small magic stones can be attached to them.

Moreover, it was made by a swordsman.

The knife is firmly engraved with the swordsman's name, so if it sells, it will be worth a lot.

Ah, that's right. You looked so serious when you found it.

"Oh, I thought it would be a great birthday gift for Ivy."

10th birthday.

I'd like to properly celebrate your birthday, but given the current situation... haha.

"Never mind, Ivy, I don't want to tell you how to fight." With her strength, we can't defeat her. "

You don't have to tell me that.

Even though Ivy is stronger, her strength is harder.

That's pretty good, too.

That's why it's better for Ivy not to fight.

"This is not a weapon for fighting." This is a weapon to make room for escape. "

Since Ivy is being targeted by the church, we need to think about countermeasures.

Of course, I'm gonna protect you no matter what.

But they also tried to manipulate the rampaged monsters and tie people up with jokes.

It's so creepy.

"Are you all right? If you get some means to fight, don't run away..." Isn't that the only one for Ivy? "

Ginar shakes his head sideways as he talks.

That's right.

Ivy knows she's not up for a fight.

Therefore, I can assure you that even if you have a knife and use it to escape, you will not use it to fight.

If it's this big, I can hide it.

Ginar is taking a knife from me, checking its weight and size.

Then, he gave a surprised expression.

Probably found the swordsman's name.

"No way, this."

The name engraved on the knife was a famous swordsman.

I never thought I'd see that name in a place like this.

"Honestly, I want it." It's for Ivy's safety. "

Ginar smiled bitterly at the sad expression on his face.

If you're an adventurer, you'll want to get serious about this guy.

Even if it's a small knife.

"Thank you."

Receive the knife from Ginar and think of a stash.

Is it a bag to hide?

Shake your head to the side at Ginar's words.

“Bags aren't always around. I think it's best to put it on."

Even if you hide it under your clothes, the thing that doesn't feel uncomfortable is your hips and feet.

However, your hips will get in the way when you sit down, and your feet will feel in the way when you walk unless you get used to them.

... which is better?

"Shouldn't I let Ivy decide?"

That's true, too.

But I wanted to give it to you once I had the set.

Did you ever buy anything as a gift for Ivy?

"Ah, hair clasp and hair decoration. And a ring for your little finger."

"Come on, how many do you want to give?"

How many?

Speaking of which, there are two hair clips, three hair ornaments, and one ring.

And a knife.

"This is the seventh one." What's that gaze? "

I stared at Jinnar, who looked stunned.

"Druid is the one who spoils the child. Ivy's been through a lot, so it's okay if Druid spoils her in vain.”

That's rude.

Ivy doesn't spoil me, so I want to spoil her.

"You don't know that there's only one gift." And they all look great on Ivy. ”

"Sure, Ivy's cute."

Yes, Ivy gets cuter and cuter.

I'm worried.

“Druid, it would be rough if Ivy could have someone she likes.”

"That's not true." If you like Ivy...... I'll admit it. "

"In the meantime, it's definitely suspicious."

I'll admit it.

It would be rare for a man to be stronger than me, so at least if he were as strong as me.

And your personality is important.

If you can identify it properly and there's no problem... I'll admit it.

Probably.

“So, when are you having your birthday party?”

Ginar's words stared at me.

Hmm?

Besides, Jinnal, who seemed strange, had a slight murderous intent.

"Wait, why are you sending a murderous rage?"

"It's impossible to rent out the shop in the state of the village!" Besides, Ivy's cooking is better than me cooking. What do you want me to do? "

"Yeah, sure. A little bit in the village right now." Besides, cooking ah

The village is recovering little by little.

However, the wound is too deep and it takes time to get back to normal.

In this state, we can't make a fuss because we're outsiders.

Celebrating a birthday at a hidden gift shop doesn't allow you to prepare food.

When I'm asked if I can make more than Ivy can cook, I can't.

Uru and Garth also said, "It is impossible," and Evas and Arthus shook their heads silently.

“Ivy wouldn't mind, would she? No matter what kind of dish it was."

That's true.

I'm sure Ivy would be pleased to have arranged what she bought.

But,

“This is the first time I've celebrated Ivy's birthday. That's why I want to make it a birthday party that will please you a little bit. I forgot Ivy's birthday, but I don't know if I can say that."

The first time I wanted to celebrate someone was when I started.

"Why did you forget?"

“I hated my birthday. That's why I completely erased my birthday from my memory."

My brother made me feel bad about my birthday every time.

That's why I hate birthdays.

Speaking of which, I wonder when.

It was no longer celebrated by anyone.

Yeah, but after four years as an adventurer, Gothos gave me a gift.

"Cooking. Ah! There's one good guy." You want me to give it to him? The church has calmed down, and I'm sure they'll cooperate if I talk to them. ”

Isn't that annoying?

“It's okay, it's okay. I like to cook and I like to make my own good food. If he eats and likes it, he's going to ask the shopkeeper how to make it right away. Moreover, if you refuse, I will ask you to go to the store again and again until you tell me."

That's amazing.

"I'm having a birthday party, so I'll ask if I can order some food." Well, maybe it's okay. So, what time do you want to do it? "

That's right.

"I'll call you two days before I leave."

I won't make Garth's strength until the day before he leaves.

I'm tired and can't go on a journey.

However, I can't enjoy it at my leisure because I'm always bumpy the day before.

So two days ago.

“Okay, please, I'll get back to you tomorrow.”

"Thank you. Oh, Ivy likes root vegetables." If you can cook for me, just ask me for more root vegetables. ”

"All right."

I don't know what's gonna happen yet, but maybe we can have a birthday party.

Worst of all, I was going to give you a gift, so I'm glad.

By the way, that store's hat was cute, too.

Let's go to the store tomorrow and see what happens.
