Horrified at the way Ciel came home satisfied.

In winter, animals will be hibernating, so they will hunt demons.

Demons are stronger than animals, so I'm really worried.

"Ciel, are you hungry?

"Nya-yay."

Ha, looks satisfied with your expression.

Ask Ciel to change into a slime and put it in the bag.

That size will be the size of the slime, so it's weird to see it again and again.

Returning to the village and walking down the boulevard to Mr. Rose's item store, I realize how the villagers are feeling more tingly than usual.

"Is something wrong?

"Oh, it's kind of a nasty vibe, let's hurry to Mr. Rose"

I'm going to Mr. Rose's shop a little early.

"Hello"

"There you are. Oh."

"Excuse me, day after day"

"We don't have many guests on cold days, so I'm glad you're here."

Good, looks like it hasn't bothered me.

Before Mr. Rose, place the demon stone that Frem revived.

It was yesterday today, so Mr. Rose gives a slightly worried look.

"Is Flem okay? Oh, I can't give you this level of demon stone."

I've put all the demon stones in one bag, so the level 1 or 2 demon stones are also mixed.

Mr. Rose, who checked inside, wrapped two demonic stones in a cloth and returned them.

Mr. Druid laughs at it and puts it in the bag.

"I'm telling Flem not to force it, so I think it's okay"

"Yes, now?

"You're asleep."

When I open the bag, Sora and Ciel jump out of the bag fine.

"Ah, Sola! Ciel, not today."

"Fine, he said he closed the store for a little while, even if the bill was on break."

With that said, Mr. Rose closes the door and puts out a bill during the break.

You're getting in the way of the store.

A little depressed, Pong and Mr. Rose stroked his head.

"I care too much"

To Mr. Rose, who is laughing, he opens his bag again and hugs Flem up.

Check your mouth, but not today. It looks like no one's leaking.

Oh, the stains are gone?

The stain I was concerned about when I put it in my bag is disappearing from the flem.

I wonder what it was?

"You sleep a lot ~"

"Flem's been asleep all day. Sometimes I sleep all the time except for a meal."

Mr. Rose gives a slightly surprised look at Mr. Druid's words.

"Ahahahahaha, that's awesome"

"Right?"

"Oh. I'm jealous, but if I were you, I'd get bored in a day."

I'm sure it wouldn't fit Mr. Rose's life.

I don't know what to say, Mr. Rose has the impression that he's taking the initiative, saying it's hard.

"With that said, Mr. Rose. Is something wrong? I think the village is tingling."

"Oh, it turns out that the hissar forcibly retrieved the demon stone from the young adventurer on the journey. Totally stupid. But some villagers don't want to be bad for what they've done for themselves."

Bad things are bound to happen someday, right?

Still, did we do it for ourselves?

No, the villagers would suffer if something else came out like this.

"Those are the big idiots. I can't believe the villagers defended that, even though it's just important that those in Gilmouth's position have sinned. If this information is passed on to other villages and towns, the credibility of this village will be diminished. That would put even the survival of the village in jeopardy."

If the credibility of the village is lost, there will be less entry and exit for adventurers and merchants.

When that happens, the village becomes more and more obsolete.

Credibility is very important in any big town.

Don't the villagers know that?

"It's a dangerous situation."

"... you still think so?

What's a dangerous situation?

Didn't the villagers just defend Mr. Gilmouth, who sinned?

You mean there's something more?

"Ha, was it too early for those two?

Two...... you mean Captain Tableau and Mr. Pliagilmuth?

Uh, I don't know what that means.

…………

I don't know what to do, we've both been silent.

Uh, you mean something's going on that's not good for this village, right?

Probably aggravated by the presence of the top?

"If we don't get over this, I don't think so."

You don't like this tension.

"You just have to believe it."

"Did Mr. Druid know anyone who was at the top of the list?

"Yeah, it's Gilmouth from the Adventurers Guild. I'm still working on it."

"Right. I'm sorry, Ivy, you're making me look like that."

Huh?

What face?

Mr. Rose strokes his head gently and laughs fluffily.

"Mr. Rose. Do you keep your winter gloves here?

When I saw him surprised by the sudden change in Mr. Druid's story, Ni laughed.

Apparently, he was distracted.

What the hell did you look like?

"Gloves for winter? There wouldn't be any summer or winter in gloves to protect your hands from the sword, would there?

"No, I'm not. Ivy's hands are easily cold, so I heard there's a winter glove somewhere."

"Oh, you mean that. That's the garment store. Isn't there a store that sells coats?

"Really, if so, would it be possible for 'Shall'?

"If it was there, it would be because we have all the latest clothes. Wouldn't it be quicker if we were going shopping?

Mr. Rose looks out.

I didn't realize, but the clouds are a little suspicious.

Maybe it'll rain?

"Right. Ivy, shall we go?

"Yeah. Sola, Ciel, come back because I'm going?

Two people who were playing with my words jump right into my arms.

Things I've been through over and over, so I'm used to this already.

Sometimes I drop it, but today I succeed in holding both of them.

"Wow."

"Those two look like they like to be funny and surprised."

"I like surprises, too. That's good."

You sure surprised me the first day.

Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.

I hate that one because it looks too real.

"If you don't, you'll be scared to death."

"There have been many times already."

"... you don't make the choice to say stop?

"It must be, even though it's fun"

"" Huh. "

"Hey, I need you to stop reacting the same way Tableau did."

"The captain was originally struggling, wasn't he?"

I laugh at Mr. Druid's words.

I can imagine him swinging by Mr. Rose.

"Hmm."

"Hahaha. Ivy, is it time to go?

"Yeah."

"Oh, thank God for the Demon Stone. Thank you. I want you to tell Flem not to push it."

"Yes, I'll tell you. Well, I forgot once in a while. Mr. Rose, are you at our store?

"Oh, I'm here, but what?

I wonder what you're forgetting?

"Remember, I was promised Ivy that we'd make rice balls with 'kome' before."

We just talked yesterday and I forgot...... kinda sad.

"Oh! I did"

"Ivy, when are you gonna be okay?

"Uh, I'll buy the ingredients today and get ready for the night, so I'll be fine tomorrow."

"I'll be fine tomorrow, too, because I'll have Delose tomorrow. Looking forward to it."

I'm really supposed to interrupt you day after day, but I guess it's okay because Mr. Rose is smiling.

Schedule a rough appointment for tomorrow. Now it's time to leave the store behind.

When I was leaving the store and headed towards' Shall ', a cold breeze hit my face and it hurt.

This winter is aggressive.

"Welcome. Oh, it's been a while."

"I'll grandpa. I wanted to ask you a few questions."

As soon as I entered the store, Mr. Baruca responded.

Looks like the store has about two more customers.

"What is it?

"I heard you have winter-only gloves, do you keep them?

"Yes, that's a product that's been coming out for a couple of years."

I come in front of the shelf where Mr. Baruca is taking me.

There are colorful lines of gloves there.

Pretty different impression than gloves to protect your hands.

"Heh, whoa, how about this?

What a lovely peach floral glove Mr. Druid took in his hand.

I think it's a little too cute.

"No, a little for me"

"Really? I think it's cute though."

"I thought I'd float on my coat..."

My coat is diluted blue, so peachy makes me feel a little uncomfortable.

Especially the gloves you chose are bright peachy.

"" Ah. ""

Mr Druid and Mr Baruca sometimes find themselves very similar.

Why do we both have such an unfortunate look?

"So if you're going to fit your coat, I suggest these three types, right?

Three different gloves were shown to me: white, water and dark blue.

There is no embroidery here, it's a neat impression.

"... Is there anything a little cuter?

Mr Baruca answers Mr Druid's question with a slight regret: 'It has sold'.

"You should have come and bought it a little sooner"

I'm so sorry to hear that, but as far as I'm concerned, one of these three gloves is enough.

I'd say that would be fine if I could keep the cold out, but if I did, there would be some nasty vibe......
