Five days after the birth of Piatrice, Doki came to the house to replace the Deer God. Since the birth of his son Idea, he has been bringing us sweets every ten days or so. Rico's health improved a lot when he ate his sweets. When we thanked him for that, he started to bring us sweets with pleasure.

This time, he brought more rice cakes than usual to celebrate the birth of Piatrice. His sweets are really delicious. They have a ...... very elegant taste.

We always try to bring him a gift when we go back home, because we don't want to be deprived of receiving only gifts from him. At first, he was very reserved and didn't accept it, saying that it was enough just to charge MP, but finally, after some back and forth, I told him to bring me something delicious with my souvenir as a hint, and he accepted it.

This time, too, I have prepared my own anko (red bean paste), elasaharu (dried bonito flakes), and dried kelp as a souvenir. Why bonito flakes and kelp? There is a reason.

While he makes excellent sweets, he has a big problem with the food he serves at the restaurant he used to run. He was faced with the problem that the food was not very good, which is quite a tough problem for a food shop. However, this was not entirely Doki's fault, but rather due to the lack of available seasonings, and despite this, he had done a lot of research on flavor, and considering the current situation, he was doing rather well. However, compared to the food at home, it was not at the same level. In fact, the first time we tasted his cooking, we all fell silent.

He told us that in Mideast, salt is the only seasoning, and mushrooms such as shiitake mushrooms are boiled down to make a broth. No wonder the meal is so lacking in richness.

So I told him that he could make broth with dried kelp and dried bonito flakes that I had made. He was so impressed that since then, he always brings me sweets as well as dishes using bonito and kelp broth.

The taste has improved considerably. I think it is good enough to be served in the restaurant, and it is well received by Rico and the rest of my family. However, Roni was the only one who stubbornly refused to touch his cooking. The first time she tasted his food, the taste was so subtle that she had lost faith in his cooking after that.

If he could try it once, he would probably like it and would think better of Dawki. As for me, I would like to somehow make things right between Roni and Doki, but the mind of a girl is a very complicated thing. So far, I don't see any progress at all.

Dorki, with an apologetic expression on his face, opens his mouth.

"Master Linos, I don't think I will be able to visit you for a while.

"We are about to run out of salt in the land of the ...... Mideast. I can transfer, so I'm going to stock up on salt. If you know of a country where we can get a large amount of salt, could you please let me know?

We were told that the neighboring country with which we had been trading salt had suddenly stopped trading with us. Naturally, they could not live without salt. The Mideast has been severely damaged by the loss of its only salt trading partner in the mountainous region.

I had heard that the country is located in the mountains, but what exactly is the country of Midaï? I asked Gon to find out and found out that it was nothing. It was a country located between Sandanj, where King Nike is located, and Hradime, where King Maintia is located. However, it is a country built in a hollow in the mountains with precipitous cliffs, and transportation is extremely poor. From what I have heard about the topography, it may have originally been the crater of a volcano.

Surrounded by precipitous cliffs, it is very difficult to reach Sandanj and Hladime from Miedai. The only country with which trade is possible is the neighboring Kingdom of Tana, but this country suddenly notified the Mideast that trade had been suspended. Moreover, this country is a fervent believer in the religion of Klimiana.

"It seems that the war 10 years ago was also caused by the Klimiana religion. Originally, the Mideast did not have much contact with foreign countries, partly because of its location. Gradually, the Klimiana people moved in and tried to spread their faith, and there was a battle between them and those who tried to stop them, and most of the country was burned down.

"Crimiana really doesn't do anything wrong, does she?"

I stare off into the distance with a nostalgic look on my face. Doki continues to speak as I look at him.

"......I came to live in the country of Miedai about three years after the war, but even then the country was a burnt-out wilderness. People were trying to work together to rebuild it, but they still couldn't make it in time. ....... The only way to get to the kingdom of Tana was through a narrow road between rocks, and horse-drawn wagons could not go through. People had no choice but to carry food and materials on their backs or on the backs of their horses. But just recently, all of a sudden, the Kingdom of Thana said that it would not do business with the Midei nation. ......"

"I have a feeling there's something going on behind the scenes. Crimiana ...... I'm sure it is. What do you think they're up to?"

"I don't really know about those things, but ....... First of all, we can't cook without salt, so that is the most urgent thing. As it is now, the Mideast will not last more than two months.

I see, that's certainly true. Well, there's plenty of salt in this house. You can take them with you.

"What?　Are you sure?"

I go through the kitchen to the cellar. I take out a jar of salt from there and return to the dining room. There is still a large amount of salt in the cellar, since I just bought it from Krumphal the other day.

"With four jars, I think it will last for quite a while, don't you?　There's more, so if you need more, just let me know."

Dawki looked happy for a moment, but then his face immediately clouded over.

"Um, I don't have ...... the money to pay you. ......"

"I mean, as long as you pay me back within a reasonable amount of time. And I can order a lot of salt. Just tell me how much you need.

"Oh, thank you for ....... This debt of gratitude is due to ....... With this amount, my store should be fine for about six months, but for the entire country of Mideast, ...... I think we need about 20 more pots of salt."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Twenty? Is that enough?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If you bring too large a quantity, the salt will melt, so I think that's about the amount we need for the next three months or so. It is impossible to bring it all at once, so I will try my best to come here several times a month to pick up the salt.

"Will that be enough?　Why don't you ask Chi-wan?"

"What?　Mr. Zhuang?"

"You're low on MP. You can't make that many transfers, can you?　Wouldn't it be better to have some Posehay help you?"

"Ha ...... yes."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Dawki looks down apologetically. Normally, I could bring in any number of people using my transfer warding, but since this is an ability that I would like to keep secret, I decided to use Chi-wan. I tell Dawki not to worry about it and sit him down at the dining room table. Then I call Chi-wan.

A few moments later, he transfers with Loni and the three Poseidonians.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It has been a long time, Mr. Linos. I am sorry that I could not be here to congratulate you on the birth of your princess.

"No, no. May told me you've been busy with your research. Don't be too hard on yourself, okay?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes. Thank you very much.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

With that, Chi-wan turns his attention to Dawki, who is sitting next to me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Dawki, I heard they stopped the salt. That's not good. We can help if you want. We just wanted to check your place too."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Excuse me. Thank you so much for ......."

"First, Zhuang, let's take all the salt jars from our pantry to Mideast. We have about ten more."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, sir."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

With that, I lead Chihwan to the pantry. I thought Loni was going to go too, but she bowed and headed away. It seems that she went to check on Sadie and the kids. We looked after her, and then she and the young Posehay that Chi-wan had brought with her carried the salt pots out of the house.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Now, let's move on. First, Dawki, you and I will be transferred to the land of Midaï.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, sir."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

With that, the two of them moved on. A short time later, Chiwan returned. He and his men try to transfer the salt pot.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Wait, Chi-wan! Take me with you. We will probably need more salt in the future. For that time, I'm going to set up a transfer border in the Mideast.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, yes. That would be very helpful.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But it's a secret.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Okay."

As we talked, I joined their transition and was transferred to the country of Mideast.

...... I arrived at the entrance of the store. It was much smaller than I had expected, and the five of us and the salt jar were already full.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What?　Where's Dorky?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Chi-wan smiles and points to the next room. There, he found Doki, who had run out of MP and was lying on the floor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... uuuh, I'm sorry."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Doki nods in disappointment. I tell him not to worry and carry the salt jar to the back of the store with Ziwan and the others.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... can't fit all of them, can we?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, I guess I don't have a choice then. Well, that's just fine. Let's store them outside. I'll put up a barrier to prevent the salt from dissolving. Let's make it a little bigger.

With these words, I slowly opened the door to what appeared to be the kitchen door in front of me.

Boom!

"Whoa!"

Suddenly, I felt a shock to the right side of my body. A wall is visible right in front of me. It seemed to be a door leading to a small back alley, narrow enough for one person to pass through. I looked to my right and saw a big man with a face like a bull, who was on his buttocks. He was carrying a large cloth bag under his arm, but upon closer inspection, the bag was shuffling around.

"......kete. ......tas......te. Taske......te."

A faint voice. While I was distracted by the voice, the ox man was silently pulling out a sword from his back without a sound. By the time I realized it, the sword was about to plunge into my body.

D'sou!

The ...... man's sword had just pierced the open door. I ducked just as the sword pierced. At the same time, I had thrown a kick at the bullfighter's jaw.

"Ggghh......"

Cow man faints in agony. He doesn't look like a normal guy, and he smells like a complete jerk. Just then, the bag lying on the ground moves again, and something pops out of it.

"...... child!"

It was a little girl with a big head. The moment her eyes met mine, she took a deep breath.

"Find it!

I thought I heard a woman's voice coming from the back of the alley, and immediately three women appeared in front of me.

"Master Hi!　Are you hurt?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh!　Hurgey!　I saved you!"

The women quickly draw their swords, pointing their points at me, and quickly hide the girl behind them. Then one of them opens her mouth in a calm voice.

"You are the kadokawakashi who are making the rounds?　You can't escape now!　Bind them mysteriously!"
