"Hey, Kai-kun. What's wrong?

Koo, who was gracefully savoring his tea on the deck chair, speaks casually to Kai, who came back alone.

"Anything. They say women talk to each other."

"Uh, that's a man out of a mosquito net."

Bitter laughing koo while placing the cup on the side table.

Kai-kun, why don't you take one?

"It will be a treat"

Kay flips herself out and gets out of Sasquatch. Tents stretched by the trees - small tables, folding chairs and tea utensils were provided with even a simple set of tea utensils, where they presented a completely outdoor tea room look.

"Hilda."

"Yes, of course."

When Kou spoke, Hilda, who had refrained behind him - the maid of Illis' side service - began to prepare Kay's share of tea. Another servant carries a new deck chair and happens to have a new seat set in between.

Kay also tried to lower his back, but apparently Sasquatch didn't run enough yet, so he took off the reins and the tweezers.

"All right, come run around the corner."

When Kay pounds his ass, Sasquatch joyfully and bravely runs away all the time saying "wow".

"Are you sure…………?

With a tremendous acceleration, one of the maids was circling her eyes at Sasquatch, quickly moving away to the other side of the horizon.

"It's okay, when you get tired, you'll be back in time"

Sasquatch is smart, and he laughs, "Ha ha... well, there are no beasts around here..." But Sasquatch is not just a horse. I tend to forget watching you relax all the time, but who you are is the fierce demon of omnivores (bauser hose). A beast like the one you encounter in a meadow can return most of your opponents. Don't worry about it.

When Kay sits on the chair, a cup of tea is placed on the side table. Together with small baked confectionery and milk sprinkles.

This is what it is. When many maids trick me, I get unwittingly carried away, but Kou is grand as opposed to Kai like that.

"This kind of thing, you just have to pull out your shoulders and be natural."

As he put his legs together, Koo said relax.

"She (the maid) is also a professional. I think it's easier to do a lot of things with grandeur than to be shy of weird. '

"Is that what it is?"

'Yeah. Because if you odd or exposed yourself, that would be insulting. I don't even need to look great. Behind you, for instance -'

So, Koo shuts his mouth. Often silenced. Waiting for the words to follow, Kay also decided to get some tea. The ideal temperature, and fragrance, that I don't think was brewed outdoors. The high skill of the maids is questionable.

"Even if you speak in Japanese, you'll find out when you come up with a unique noun. Yes, read the hill in English. Let's call her Hilda."

Hill is English for "HILL".

In other words, replace Hilda with Hilda.

"Nbu."

Kay almost sprayed his tea out of his nose. I got a little bumpy unexpectedly. Hilda behind me seems surprised, but I don't think her name is the reason. Kou is laughing at him like a child who has had a successful prank.

"It's a good idea, but I blew it."

"Oh - Mr. Hilda is looking at me with his eyes on strange people"

'Nfu, don't make me laugh any more!

Hmm, and one sigh, Kay, who regained his mind, drank tea, and thought (too much language is a thought), etc.

"So, Hill... what's wrong with Mr. Hilda"

"She, hey, was born in the Baron's house. She doesn't have a title herself, but she's from a noble house, so she's better than her youngest daughter - is she a samurai? In Japanese. I can work, and I feel like a burly career woman. I guess I'll be a samurai chief or something in the future. But I'm a professional, so regardless of who I was born to, I treat my customers with a proper attitude."

[Ho ho...]

'What you're trying to say is, well, let's Respect each other. She will treat my guests well, and you will receive them with dignity, while behaving like a gentleman will do nothing wrong. [M] For once, you're a guest, so you might want to call Hilda and the same kind of samurai.

I see.

When they say that and look at it, the servants around them also notice that the 'quality' of each outfit is different. Hilda's maid clothes, for example, are quite superior, but the other maids have subtly coarse fabrics or simplified designs. Even when I said servant in a bite, it was clearly ranked by servant or management.

I haven't been able to tell the difference before, but I feel like I've just widened my horizons a little bit.

"There's a lot going on, I didn't know anything about it."

"Well, if you don't have the opportunity, you don't even have to realize it."

I opened the notebook and the koo nodded as I wrote something.

'... what's that?

Idea book. As an amateur, I also intend to work on improving the demonic props, starting with the refrigerator. I've been writing down all kinds of ideas from the beginning. "

I feel like I saw it, apparently I'm making notes in Japanese. You're acting great as a cipher, Kay laughed.

"... Kai-kun is,"

Unexpectedly, Kou changes his tone while dropping his gaze on the paper.

"How are you going to live in this world?"

Quiet, ask.

"… what do you think? I'm thinking about becoming a hunter."

"Hunter?"

Surprisingly, a face up kow. "Now?" he just said.

"Yeah, I thought I'd be a big hunting expert out of the reach of the average person, especially the Big Bear."

There are many pioneering villages around Satina and Wolvern, and rarely do monsters stray from [Deep (Abyss)]. Under such circumstances, Kay thought he wanted to be an expert in hunting and killing monsters before much harm was done to the villagers.

'That's again... that's it. Sure, hunting a "Big Bear" class monster would be nice, but isn't it too dangerous?

'That is, to some extent, above understanding.... I don't know what to say, but I want to help people.'

Not to take it personally, but to look seriously at Kay.

'That's... that's brave. No, I'm not chilling.'

Kou looks away in disgrace at what has become a disgraceful way of saying things.

"I'm sorry for that..."

'... If it had been a long time ago, it might have been different. Shortly after I came to this world, I've been thinking about how not to die. "

Kay talks pompous, thinking back about the immediate aftermath of the metastasis.

'Originally, on Earth, I always thought I didn't want to die because I was sick and I didn't have a lot of life left... But don't you feel like you're alive? In this way, I have a story to tell you, but I started thinking more deeply about how to use my life - how to live.'

…………

"The motivation was to tailor the" Big Bear "in a pioneering village near Wolvern. The" Big Bear "caused a lot of damage to the village, so thank you very much.... At that time, I felt so saved, too. I didn't even know it was so comfortable to be relied upon and appreciated by people... '

Until then, I just relied on it, because it was my life.

'... so now, that's how I want to live'

Kay laughed embarrassingly as she returned to her vegetables.

Koo didn't.

"That's splendid..."

Koo shrugs his shoulder that I can't seem to imitate. [M]

"Even so, the big guy doesn't come out like that. Even if it comes out, by the time it reaches my ear, the lords and the army may have solved it. '

With that said, Kay wondered if he might visit Taaf next time. It was thanks to the fringe gained in that village that I was able to meet Kou and Iris in this way, and from nostalgia I have missed the hunter Mandel.

'I see... I wonder what's wrong with me'

"... I knew I still had my feelings sorted out"

"I can't follow you."

Ha, and sigh mixed, Koo.

'Well... but I also thought about it for a while and realized it. Nothing. I just got back to Earth, and I definitely want to accomplish this! I had no firm goal or dream... I was just inert and alive. "

Of course, there's no need to compare the convenience and comfort of the internet to this world, but bend your mouth to the letter to, Koo says.

"Conversely, if you meditate on that - it's a hard cons to look past - this world isn't bad, either, you might not be able to say."

"Right……"

Kay was hammering, thinking that if it was such a multiple denial, I wouldn't understand it in English, etc.

"In this world, it might be nice to name him as the father of an innovative refrigerator and gelato...... what a thought. Not now. '

Even as he peeked into the complicated mood, Huffle Koo made him smile.

"By the way, it's a different story, but you and Eileen, do (...) what? You seem familiar.

"Eh."

As declared, I am a little confused by the sudden change of subject.

"Uh... she and I are lovers."

I'm embarrassed to say it again. Kay felt her cheeks get hot without even being in the pattern. Is it because of my mother tongue?

"Ahhh - good, young"

What's good, arm in arm. Yeah, nodding koo. Kay also asks back because he is not told.

'What do you think, Mr. Koo? Something happen with Iris?

'No, I don't. I have a friendship with her. "

But an instant answer.

It was an immediate answer.

'Heh... Really? Mr. Koo and his family are the ones who look so intimate. Even Illis is quite beautiful.'

"Can I say that with a lover?"

"No, it's objective."

Kay jokes and says to the tearing koo.

"Wouldn't it be strange to come to this world and get over it all together and get along?"

'Well, yeah. Sure, I don't know her. I'm not close, and it's true that she's beautiful... but that's why I think that my current relationship is the best'

"… that's again, why?

"'Cause if I make you a lover, you're gonna be a pain in the ass, her."

Koo's answers were unpleasant.

"Now is the time to thank me very much for being cute, but when you're a couple without a lover, you definitely take that for granted," she said. The fact that there are many men who admire the so-called lady, but if they are their daughter-in-law, they have to feed it, should be kept in a corner of their head. Well, if I'm going to keep doing this as a magician, I think I'll have enough money... the money is (...), hey... '

I'm just not sure I can do well as a partner, and Koo sighed deeply.

"... Oh, of course, don't tell him about it."

"Wow, I know."

"To your girlfriend, too, so be it. I'm asking you to keep secrets from men."

"I understand."

Let's not ask...... Kay thought.

Do you even tell Eileen that you want to be a big hunter? What about being opposed as a lover?

'I'm talking, and the opposite is especially true. Instead, I think they pushed me on the back.'

'Ha ha, that's just brave. I wonder how she's going to live. "

"He's trying to sell all sorts of magic tricks because he can use shadow magic."

Kay talks about plans to sell projectors (projectors) using shadows and alarms for crime prevention.

Especially in the alarm machine (alarm), the idea of applying the nature of "the catalyst dedicated to the Spirit is converted into magic and extinguished" to the physical switch was eye-to-eye for Koo, "Ho ho!" I was very impressed.

'That's funny. Even though the catalyst needs to be re-set each time, can you convert the magical action directly into a physical phenomenon......'

"And then I thought I'd try to make magic props sometime."

You?

The koo is decent.

I thought you were a brain-muscle warrior and you didn't assign any skill to magic.

'They've received meat in this world, and the limits of potential are no longer there. In fact, I have so much more magic too...... [Maiden vento, Siv. - Faru la venton milde blovi!

When Kay chants, a fluffy faint breeze blows to the kow. Definite magic flow. Koo, visionary of the maiden with her feathercoat, opened her eyes in amazement.

'Speaking of which! You had a deal with the Spirit of the Wind! Oh well, did they also pay off the limitations on their gaming potential...... I see!

By the way, behind the very excited koo, Hilda also said "!?" He kept his eyes black and white, but Kay and the others didn't notice.

"From what I've seen, Kai-kun is already a novice or something"

'Right. I think you can secure magic as well as a runaway magician. "

What are you going to make?

"Well, an arrow shunning talisman in a major place. And then there are the sails that are easy to gather wind... '

"Wow - that's definitely the one to sell! You should be prepared for solicitation from Port City (Kitene). Wouldn't it be better to specialize that way than hunters?

'Ha ha, maybe so. Well, it's still a long way off.'

In fact, if I could make it, I would sell it like an asshole, I think. At least we should have a good fight with Koo's fridge. in a demand (share) sense.

'Nice, I want an arrow-safe talisman, too. Well, I haven't felt any danger at the moment.'

In case something happens. Hey, Koo says as he strokes around his chest.

'Of course, I'll accommodate you when I can make it.... What can I say instead, I want a fridge. I want a cold ale on my kink......!

When Kay said it from the bottom of her heart, Koo smiled.

"Ha ha, you must be out of time for a long time..."

"It's enough to dream about. It's just so hot... '

'There's nothing you can do about all this without magic. Okay, I'll look at the gaps and make them for you when it comes to the fridge'

'Is that okay!?

"Oh. But we're not talking about this right now because we're waiting in order."

Kou said the refrigerator is squeezing the number of manufactures per day because the order has arrived. Because of the harsh magic power, which is the apparent reason, you actually think the aim is to avoid overwork and maintain scarce value?

'I'm building one in the morning and one in the night now. If that bothers you, three more will look good, but I'm taking care of it - I'm deciding'

Nevertheless, he says he only weighs himself under lord's approval, so he can do other magic studies if he can afford them, and rather recommends them. It's not that hard to make a part of the fridge that is secretly the core of the fridge in the name of 'For Yourself'.

'Thank you very much!!

"He's a forward investor. The same goes for the arrow-saver talisman, but if you guys make something interesting, call me. '

Of course, Kay agreed comfortably and exchanged a firm handshake with Ko.

'Well, let's just say... Hilda'

Unexpectedly, Koo looks back and calls out.

"Ha!? Yes!"

Was it blurry, Hilda suddenly called his name and freaked out. But soon he returns to his professional face and stretches his spine.

"But I think there was some ale or wine."

"Yes, we have both available though"

"Well, Yale...... so, okay?

"Ah, yes."

Confirmed Kay snorts.

"That's two drinks, please."

"Certainly."

Immediately, a silver goblet is carried with a miraculously poured ale.

"Well... [Aubine! Arto, Rei-Kyaku.]"

Remove the white powder - possibly salt - from the nostalgia, and the spellbound koo breathes softly over the palm of your hand. As the scattered salt shimmers, it is converted into cold air and clung to the goblet. Kay had a vision of a maiden in long clothes with a cold smile.

But that's a flash, too. Silver goblets are now rapidly cooled and cloudy white. Kay accidentally said, "Oh......!" and leaked an exclamation.

'No. The Manifesto (script) uses Japanese quickly, but there's so much we don't taste each other. "

"I'm similar, practicality comes first..."

Kay's eyes nailed to the goblet as he nodded and answered. The bitterly smiling koo takes the goblet and gives one to Kay.

'This is………!

- It's cold in the kinks...........................!

Kay swallowed the sauce. I looked at the meadow. Should I call Eileen? But Eileen and Iris were making their horses run amicably, smiling and talking with pleasure.

- I shouldn't be in your way right now.

Kay decided that we should have one leg ahead of us here.

"Well, shall we toast?"

"Yes! Thank you very much."

"To our friendship"

"... to the great ice magic."

The two laughing niggardly raised their goblets and bumped into each other.

- Cheers!

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Waking cold, refreshing throats...

"Ahhh!

- Definitely, since I came to this world, it has been a first-class delicious ale.

... By the way, then it was Kay who entered the liquor bar, but it goes without saying that Eileen was pissed off at me for saying "call it sooner".

†††

Plenty of sundown, about the time the moon rises.

The city of Satina was also quiet for many of its inhabitants.

Noble neighborhoods are no exception, and although the candle faint lights leak through the mansion windows, they are surrounded by tranquillity.

However, in that, there is one mansion that makes you feel the signs of an active person.

Located in the southeastern part of the city, it is the Lords' Hall.

This hall, which is also the administrative centre of Satina, sometimes heads up the guards, with constant movement of people in and out at night.

Nevertheless, it gives a more lively impression than usual.

"So,"

Behind the mansion. In an office.

Sitting in a chair that seems simple but comfortable, an old man.

"- Lord Koo was in a good mood for drunkenness."

"Yes."

A crisp-faced maid answers the words of the old man.

- It's Hilda.

Usually, she doesn't break her expression on rare occasions, but only on this occasion, she was floating the color of tension.

I can't help it. Sitting in front of her, this old man - the one with the kind of eye that shoots through her soft face - is the lord of Satina, the 'Randall-Curtis-Satina-Bauquette' uncle.

"Master Koo enjoyed the conversation for quite some time with Mr. Kay."

"Kay - the best hunter in the Principality, huh? What was it like?

"That is…… I am sorry. Couldn't hear you."

Sincerely sorry, Hilda lowers her head as she pales.

"Hmm. Unaccustomed to the words of home."

Lord Curtis looks next to Hilda. Standing there was an old grey-haired man dressed in butler clothes. This is Arnold, the housekeeper entrusted with the Lordship Mansion.

"Yes, when Kay first visited the Mansion, it was believed to be the language used for the conversation with Koo."

Answer with a slight bow of your head, Arnold. The alkaic smile on my face is like a crop, it doesn't enlighten me inside its breasts.

"Hmm. Hilda"

"Sir."

"You manipulated more than one language."

"Yes, I am learning Haibarian (España) and Plateau (Frances). Snowflake (Ruski) is also possible if it is a preliminary conversation. The tribal language of the people of the meadows can also be heard at the word level"

"Still don't know what Lord Koo said, do you?"

"... Yes. It is a fundamentally different impression from the official languages, Haiwon and Gaoyuan. At first, I suspected the tribal language of the meadow, or it's pronounced very differently."

"Is it possible that the Spirit Language (Esperanto) According to your report, Kay and I also showed some magical talent."

Asked by Curtis, Hilda shook her head sideways, "No," although she often looked lost.

"Even the Spirit language felt like it sounded different. At least the R pronunciation is completely different."

"Hmm. That's what you say. I guess so.... hometown, that's what you said. I wasn't particularly suspicious, but maybe it's true."

Curtis often thinks as he strokes his short, well-groomed mustache.

"It was daunting. Hilda may step back."

"Sir."

With his head down and a crisp movement, Hilda left the room.

The only ones left are Lord Curtis and Arnold, the housekeeper.

"Phew..."

Curtis, who seemed to take his seat billionaire and took the glass and bottle out of the cabinet behind him with his own hands, fishes a quick frown and asks Arnold.

"…… do you swallow too?

"No, I still have work to do."

"The boring one."

Then, for your own sake, pour amber liquid into the glass.

"... Well, if you're not dissatisfied with Lord Koo, that's fine."

said Curtis as he lowered his back to the chair again.

As a matter of fact, I'm not that interested in what Koo and Kai are talking about. I don't care about Koo's hometown - I hear it's so far away that his return won't come true - either.

Of course, if you know what I mean, I've never been over it.

Only the most important thing is Koo's future. If you're happy with the status quo and will stay in Satina, that's fine.

Now (...) is (...).

"We do our best to satisfy Kakane."

Arnold praises him.

"Uhm.... but the situation will change not so far away. If you do, you will need the power of Lord Koo……"

Keeping himself in his back, Curtis meditated often.

"... His Majesty decided (...) to sever (...) under (...) to be (...)"

It's like talking to yourself.

Curtis shrugged in a squeaky voice. Arnold's mild grin (alkaic smile), as if pasted, collapses slightly and for the first time.

"… at last, are you in"

"Uhm"
