1509 one hundred and fifty-nine



"Oh... here's Rossi." It's more prosperous than I expected."

 Entering Rossi, the capital of the country of Lavulina, Ray muttered in admiration as he looked around.
 In fact, Rossi was more prosperous than Ray had expected.
 Of course, not to mention the current guillem, the number of people is small compared to the guillem that existed before the extension work.
 But it's not that lonely, it's as lively as the capital.

"Ray, what are you going to do first? Look for accommodation, or head to the guild?"

 It's Marina who asks so.
 As a matter of course, Ray and his party are quite prominent, and the people around them are looking at them in various ways.
 There are three beautiful women, including Marina, who just spoke to Ray... and whether they can be seen once in a lifetime.
 Under normal circumstances, some people could be involved in Ray, who is accompanied by such a beautiful woman.
 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
 But it's probably because of Seto, who's on Ray's side, that nobody's involved in such a party.
 Seto, with a yellow on his back, looked round with round eyes.
 If you've become friends with Seto to a certain extent, you'll be wondering if there's something good to eat, but of course, nobody is close to Seto in this Rossi.
 In fact, the Rays were the only ones who went a little further away from the process of entering the Rossi, fearing others.
 The guards were quite afraid of Seto when they handed him over, even though he didn't hang it on himself.
 At the sight of such a guard, Sett looked a little disappointed, but... he was stroked by Bune and in a good mood.

"Oh, I don't know. I was told by the guard which inn had a large stables, and should I first go there and get a room? I know that, unlike the guillem we have now, the inn will not soon be full."

 In today's guillem, where many people come looking for work, there are many simple buildings that can be called not only existing inns but also inns near construction sites.
 "Since I came from such a guillem, I guess it's only natural that I feel like I should reserve a hotel first."

"Well, what did the guard tell you about the inn?"
"It's a silver fruit-house," --the inn where a large company of merchants who come to Rossi will stay."

 Large commercial squads, as a matter of course, often travel in multiple wagons.
 Therefore, many horses are used, and large stables are needed to rest the horses.
 As long as it's an inn where a large business unit stays, the cost of accommodation is naturally higher than that of the other hotels, but it's no problem that the accommodation fee is a little higher for Kotoray.
 I got some money from Dusker for expenses, and some treasures from bandits I encountered on my journey.
 Even without Ray's assets, he had enough money to spare.

"I heard that you'll find out in no time if you go down the main street, shall we?" I don't feel comfortable staying here."

 Marina's words nod, and the Rays begin to walk down the main street.
 That way, those who naturally gathered in front of the lays would have to clear the way.
 For a moment, Ray remembers Moses's Ten Commandments, which he quickly decides to exaggerate and forgets.
 Ray and his colleagues kept walking, but they didn't know exactly where Silver Fruit Tei was.
 The guards only told me that I could tell by going down the main street, so I was walking down the main street like this."

"Glu?"
"Oh, wait."

 After seeing a stall where meat and vegetables are vigorously fried on an iron plate and sold between breads, Seto looks at Ray with round eyes.
 The smell of the sauce used to season the meat and vegetables that were being fried... the smell that spread all around me in an instant was almost violent.
 Ray agreed with Sett's idea of stopping by the store, but it's impossible to let Rossi residents, who aren't used to it, go.

"Well, I'll go and buy some. What will you do?"

 The first person to nod to Ray was Bune.
 When it comes to eating, it's only natural that you have the same... or even more desire than Ray.
 All three also nodded whether Elena and others were interested in foreign cuisine.
 Elena and others, though not as much as Ray and Bune, eat quite a lot.
 I guess the reason I don't gain weight is because I exercise. ...the movement is almost like a duel called a mock battle.
 At any rate, Ray approaches the stall because everyone eats.
 There are many people around who are looking at Ray and his party, but the owner of the stall he is heading for seems to be busy cooking at the moment, and he doesn't seem to care at all.
 The attitude of the stall owner was also favorable to Ray in that he concentrated on his work.

"Do you have a moment?"
"How many servings?"

 When Ray calls out, the still young shopkeeper in his twenties calls out cheerfully.

"For now... I'll have ten servings."
"What? Ten servings? ... oh, for the rest of us." But can you hold enough?"

 Maybe it's because he's just looking at Ray, but he doesn't seem to notice the other faces, including Seto, who's a little far away.
 The shopkeeper wonders Ray's words and decides he'll call in others if he can't.
 --but the bread is quite large, and that's about fifteen centimeters wide.
 The impression Ray felt when he saw the bread was that it was French bread?
 Of course, there may be many differences, but when you see the outside fabric baked well, there is no doubt that it looks strange to have such an impression.
 But most of the bread is hollowed out, with only the outside.
 The owner puts something white square into the meat and vegetables he had grilled on the iron plate and stir-fry them again.
 Ray didn't know for a moment what the white thing was, but soon he realized it was bread... a dice out of the hollowed-out bread.
 White bread is still fried on an iron plate while absorbing moisture from sauce, gravy and vegetables.
 The fried ingredients are then put into the hollowed-out portion of the bread.

"Yes, it's done. That's enough for you. I can hold it... wow!"

 The owner of the stall couldn't finish because, as soon as he looked up, he saw Seto's... Gryphon.
 Ray told her to wait, but in reality she couldn't stand the smell coming from the stall.

(Well, I don't know how you feel.)

 Okonomiyaki, yakisoba, and squid-yaki sold at stalls during the summer festival.
 All of them have a scorched smell of sauce and soy sauce floating around them, creating violent destructive power.
 ...however, most okonomiyaki ingredients are cabbage, and there are many okonomiyaki that are actually not that tasty.
 However, there is no doubt that the burning smell of sauce and soy sauce is attractive.
 That's probably the same reason why Sett... and Elena came this way to the stall.

"Oh, I've surprised you," I'm sorry."

 Marina smiles and tells the owner, and the moment she sees it, the owner's face turns surprisingly red.
 That's not because we fry meat and vegetables on an iron plate in midsummer... it was certain from the side.

"Oh, ha. Um... our food is delicious, so please try it." It's Parnyan, the name of the country."

 At the words, Ray sees the food served.
 Apparently, this dish is called Parnyan.
 Hand it over to other people, and store the rest in a mistling.
 The owner of the stall is surprised to see it, but Ray doesn't mind it and speaks while paying for it.

"And could you tell me where the Silver Fruit House is?"
"What? Oh, the silver fruit-tei?" If you go straight down this street, you'll find a big inn on the right, so it's there. I don't think you'll get lost because there's a sign with silver fruit on it, literally.""Well, I'm sorry,"
"No... come again,"

 I said that because Ray bought me a lot, or because I wanted to see a beautiful woman like Marina again close to me.
 Regardless of the reason, Ray nods and nibbles at Parnyan.
 The first thing that spreads in your mouth is the deliciousness of the meat and the crunchiness of the vegetables.
 If vegetables are overcooked, they lose their texture.
 But if you don't have much time to fry, the vegetables will be half-cooked.
 He must be a good cook, as he knows the exquisite way of frying around there.
 In addition to meat and vegetables, the contents of the bread cut into bite-sized pieces bring harmony to the mouth by absorbing juices, sauces and vegetables.
 "Also, the bread used as a container was baked with a crunchy texture on the outside, and I felt that at least the ray was delicious enough."

"Yes, it's delicious. If it's such a delicious dish, I'll welcome it. I'll come back again."
"Oh, oh! I'll be waiting!"

 Leaving the owner of the stall saying so, Ray and his team head down the main street looking for signs bearing silver fruit.
 Then I walked on for about ten minutes...

"Huh? Isn't it that?"

 Suddenly Elena muttered a little further.
 When they looked at the voices, there was a sign on it, as Elena had said, with the words inn and silver fruit... apple-shaped pictures.

"I'm sure," ...and then we'll go."
"Gruly!"
"Squeak?"

 Seth agrees with Ray's words, and Yero, who was sleeping on Seth's back, looks up to see what had happened.
 Some of the passersby who had been watching the Reyes nearby had some relaxed expression on their faces.

(Yero is still a child, but I'm sure he's a dragon or a dragon.) ...is it all right to be cute?)

 Ray has such doubts about his surroundings, but when he looks at the people around him as much as to say, "Cute is justice!" he gives up thinking that there is no use in saying anything more.

"Then, first of all, with me... Marina, will you come?"
"Oh, would you like me?"

 Elena and Vihela look a little envious as they say so with a smile.
 But for Ray, too, there were only a few people he could take with him in this case.
 Elena is more well-known than Ray, and Vihela is likely to be entangled by a man because of her appearance. Moreover, Bune would have no particular meaning in taking her.
 That's why Ray chose Marina.
 Marina, however, is a relatively rare species of dark elf, so there is a good chance of getting involved.
 As Ajas had a slave collar in particular, it was certain that the organization to which Ajas belonged also had such magic items.

"Oh, shall we go?"

 Ray answers Marina's words briefly and walks straight into the Silver Fruit Pavilion.
 The inn is quite spacious because it has a large customer base like a large commercial unit.
 Meanwhile, a thin woman in her thirties working on something at the counter sees Ray -- more precisely Marina -- and is greatly surprised.

"Yes, welcome. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . with you?"

 If Marina were a guest staying at the Silver Fruit House, she wouldn't hear that again.
 However, if there was naturally a characteristic person like Marina staying at the hotel, women should have remembered it.
 If you forget a person like this, you won't be able to do such a job as the landlady of an inn.

"Oh, for the time being... well, I'll ask you about ten days. The rooms are me, Elena, Marina... Vichela and Bune together, so a total of four rooms. And I have a demon with me, so please take care of him."

 Instead of Marina, Ray would say so.
