168 There was 164 stories! But the other way around?

I didn't know there really was.

Moreover, I was surprised to learn that there was not just soy sauce, but even ponzu.

However, I have a few questions.

Ponzu in my memory has the impression that I diluted the black, but the ponzu in front of me is black.

And I feel the soy sauce is a little lighter in color.

Really soy sauce? Ponzu?

"I'm very anxious, but you just have to buy it and try it"

"Uh, Ivy? Are you okay?"

Mr. Druid looks quite anxious at me wrinkling between my eyebrows with two bins in front.

If you looked around, you'd look like a bit of a shitty kid.

But I'm serious.

The reason is that the product in front of you is quite expensive.

It's a 1.5 liter bottle, but it has 3,000 dals of soy sauce, ponzo and vinegar.

If I fail, it hurts too much.

What shall I do?

I want to buy it... but if it is not soy sauce at this size, can I use it?

No, should I just use it to make it look like it at all costs?

It costs 3,000 dals!

"Let's do our best"

"What?"

Mr. Druid tilts his neck, but now, while his determination is not dull.

"No, it's nothing. Excuse me, both of these please."

"Is that enough? I've been watching you for so long, I was worried you'd find something."

"I don't know what it tastes like."

I knew you'd be a little embarrassed.

"Do you want a taste?

"What?... do you have one?

"Oh, 'cause I keep it for a taste"

Store owner, I wanted you to tell me sooner.

No, I wish I had asked......

Oh, Mr. Druid is laughing.

I look in the direction of the day after tomorrow when I turn my gaze, but my whole body is shaking with a pull.

Looking at his attitude, I'd say no...

"Please"

"Buh, kukuku"

Mr. Druid sprayed.

Regrettably.

Decided to cook just rice today!

"Yes, 'soy sauce' and 'ponzu'"

"Thank you"

Try licking the soy sauce you had put in a small plate, on your index finger.

Is that it?

Unlike what I imagined, it smells sour and citrusy...... is this pong vinegar?

Lick the other small plate on your index finger as well.

... fragrant scented soy sauce.

View the name written in the container.

"Soy Sauce" is Ponzu Vinegar and "Ponzu" is Soy Sauce?

"Well, it doesn't mean they're replacing this, does it?

Well, it's impossible because I got it in a small plate in front of me.

"Hmm?"

The shopkeeper makes sure his nose is close to a small dish with a hint of vinegar.

"It's okay, it's definitely soy sauce."

Again, the name is the opposite of what is in memory.

... It's tricky!

"Nevertheless, don't go shopping for unusual things. I can't get enough of this seasoning."

Surely the basics of this world are the source.

Besides, there is only one type of salad sauce, meat sauce in town.

For some reason they are regulated by the guild, so sauces with the same flavour are sold in every store.

However, each of the villages and towns adds its own specialty vegetables and fruits, so the flavour varies from place to place.

Well, the source doesn't matter now.

"Really? I think it suits all kinds of dishes."

"Heh. You like cooking when you're young."

"... Yes. I like to cook."

I don't care what it looks like anymore.

Ivy's a good cook.

Mr. Druid laughs and gives me a helping boat.

If I hadn't laughed, I'd be able to thank you purely.

"Wow. Ho."

Two bins are given.

"Ah, money"

Trying to get 6000 dals out of a magic bag with money in it.

"Yes."

"Hi."

Hmm?

Looking at Mr. Druid and the store owner, the money has already been paid by Mr. Druid.

"What? Um?

Come on, let's go.

"What? Mr. Druid, money"

Let's go.

When Mr. Druid grabs a paper bag containing soy sauce and pong vinegar, he leaves the store.

"If you need anything else, thank you."

"Yes, thank you for today"

The shopkeeper waves at me with a laugh.

Then we'll meet up, and we'll hurry up and follow Mr. Druid.

"Mr. Druid, money"

"Fine, that's about it"

"But..."

Is that okay?

Mm-hmm. No, you can't have me pay you to sloppy like this.

We need to make a proper decision between the two of us.

"Mr. Druid, there are things to come, so let's make up our minds."

"Decided?"

"Yes, uh, how to share income from hunting and harvesting and how to give money"

"... Ivy, I think it could be a little sweet"

Sweet?

"I think I'm sweet on Mr. Druid, though."

"What? Really?

"Yes, quite in terms of feelings"

If anything happens, there's someone I can count on, that's all I can afford in my heart.

And I really appreciate Mr. Druid for what he cared about that environment.

"Right."

"Yes, but that's not the same as having the money out. Money troubles waste relationships later. That's why it's important to be firm."

"............... I want Gilmouth to hear it"

Why are you here, Mr. Gilmouth?

Tilting his neck, Mr. Gilmouth told me that he had a sloppy personality for money.

At one point, he's been chased around town by his wife for creating debts in the midst of gambling.

"That's amazing"

"Oh, there's more..."

You think having a lot of money makes you feel bigger and luxurious and scattered around?

You lend money to a friend, and you think he's had an escaped experience?

"Now that your wife is tight and tight, no problem though. When I was younger, I was amazing."

Surely a good addition or subtraction for money, or loose?

However, it seems that Mr. Gilmouth is for something other than himself except gambling.

"But I do wonder if we need every decision. For the long journey ahead."

"Yes."

I just don't have any money.

"What are you talking about? We need you to sign up for the guild, so we can earn two."

"No, you can't just split your income with that"

"Mr. Druid has a job to ask him to carry what he has harvested. As far as I can, of course, and I'll carry it too."

Mr. Druid with a surprised look at my words.

I wonder what it is?

"... well. Work to carry......"

"Naturally. Good luck with that."

Oh, but sometimes you don't like the job of carrying it?

I've decided on my own......

Hmm?

I don't seem to be doing my job either......

'Cause it's mostly Ciel and Sola's handle.

"Oh, leave it to me. I have strength. We can carry a whole lot of them."

When he laughs happily all the time, he lifts his hand holding two bins.

"Oh, well, work."

I wonder what.

I'm in a great mood.

Are you happy to carry it?

... I don't know.

"Eh, nice to meet you"

I'll think about my work later.

"Whoa. Shall we go to the square now? I'll help you today, to the best of my ability."

"Thank you"

Is that it?

It's kind of an atmosphere that's over even though we haven't been able to talk about every decision.

Well, I still have time, so it doesn't have to be now.

Return to the square and get ready by the time the shopkeeper gets here.

Rice first.

Fine-tune watering and retry.

While cooking, boil the meat from the wild bat with stock (dashi) taken from the vegetables and season with soy sauce and sugar.

Taste it... what's this delicious?

It tastes a little intense, but in my memory, it seems good because I would put it on white rice.

Later, if you stick it with an egg before sprinkling it over rice, it's done.

"... made easy"

The rice hasn't been cooked yet, and the store owner hasn't.

Parent-child bowl? That's a pretty easy dish.

Well, success depends on how the rice is cooked.

Hope you succeed this time!
