After much wrangling with my father, I chose three bags.

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

The first bag is for me.

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

The second bag was for my father.

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

Because of the difference in height, the sizes of the bags were inevitably different, so we decided to buy one for each of us.

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

The third bag is a middle size between the two bags.

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

The third bag is a size in between the two bags, so that he can carry it even if one of the two bags gets broken.

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

The third bag was chosen based on the opinions of the two customers.

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

It took a little time, but I'm happy with the purchase and feel good about it.

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

I wondered, "Will Sola and the others like it?"

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

"I think they'll be fine.

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

"But did they like it?　All three bags were more expensive than the first ones we chose, weren't they?

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

No, it was fine. We have a lot of room to spare thanks to the hard work of Sola, Flem, Ciel and Sol. There are still a lot of things left to sell.

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

There was certainly a lot of stuff in the magic box.

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

Yeah, the price was higher because I chose it for cushioning and ventilation to suit the coming season, but no regrets!

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

Hope you like it.

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

They're all so sweet, I hope they'll be okay.

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

Well, let's take a leisurely stroll down the back roads and check out the rumors."

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

Roger that!"

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

The back streets are less crowded than the main streets, but still have their fair share of people.

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

There are stores, and it is a good place to take a leisurely stroll.

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

The newly opened store seems to have gone out of business.

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

Is that so?　But with the taste, it can't be helped.

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

That's a harsh opinion.

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

Sake.

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

The father's gaze fell on a liquor store.

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

Peering through the window into the store, he sees a wide variety of sake being sold.

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

A small voice from the father next to me, who is also peering into the store, says, "That's it! I hear him say, "Why don't you go take a look?

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

Why don't you go check it out?"

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

Is that okay?"

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

Of course. I'll make you a dinner to go with your drink.

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

Thank you."

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

The father enters the liquor store with a happy expression on his face.

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

What shall we have for dinner tonight?

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

There is still some melba with sauce.

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

I think I'll change that to a little spicy and use leafy greens so it won't be too heavy.

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

And let's make soup so we can have it tomorrow morning.

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

Dad drinks alcohol, so he won't need soup, right?

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

Oh, I think I'll make grilled rice balls for the first time in a while.

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

The neighbor's husband got caught by the neighborhood watch last night.

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

Oh, again?"

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

It's a rather disturbing conversation, but again.

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

I quietly looked around and saw three women a short distance away.

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

They were probably on their way home from shopping, and I could see vegetables in their luggage.

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

What do you mean again?"

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

What?　Don't you know?　That husband of hers, when he drinks, he changes into a different person and goes berserk.

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

Wow, that sucks.

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

"Oh no, is that so?　I say hi to him, but he seems like a nice guy.

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

"Appearances can be deceiving."

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

That's true.

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

Judging by appearances can hurt.

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

I nod a few times.

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

'Ma'am, are you okay?'

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

That's right.

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

She's the victim of a violent husband.

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

'That wife will be fine. She's got a man in the house right now."

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

Hmm?

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

What's that?

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

I saw it when I was leaving home. I was leaving the house and I saw him enter the house with his arms around me.

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

"Wow!"

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

Wow~, that's amazing.

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

Is the husband acting out because his wife is cheating on him?

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

Or is she fed up with the raging husband and with someone else?

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

As I tilt my head back, my head is yanked up and my ears are covered by my clothes and probably my hands.

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

What?"

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

I'm a little surprised, but when I realize it's my father, I turn my face up.

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

When our gazes meet, he has a very complicated expression on his face.

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

I remain in the same position and look at the three women with whom my father is talking and sigh a little.

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

I laugh a little at the sight of them.

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

'Sorry, shall we go?

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

'Yes.'

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

I walk down the back street toward the plaza with my father, listening to the conversation of the three women that is still going on.

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

I glance over at my father and see that he still has a complicated expression on his face.

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

He said, "Dad, those people's stories are still better. The adventurers are more naked."

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

The adventurers' evening conversations are often a bit indecent.

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

The level of talk goes up when it is a male-only team or a female-only team.

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

If anything, women are more naked.

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

But with the women, you can just hear them talking, but with the men, it can be a little tricky.

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

There are people who try to tell you all sorts of things.

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

I almost got caught in the middle of this a few times because I was pretending to be a boy not too long ago.

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

Of course, I ran away.

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

"Oh, well, I can't speak for others. ...... I used to, well, talk about all sorts of things without worrying about the people around me. ......

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

He laughs at his father, who has a pained expression on his face.

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

You don't have to worry that much.

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

I'm not sure what to expect. It doesn't bother me.

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

I was embarrassed at first, but I got used to it.

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

If I had to react every time, I wouldn't be able to spend time in the plaza.

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

You're saying you've heard enough to not worry about it?

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

Well, if you say so.

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

I cowered my shoulders and my father sighed loudly.

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

I can't help it, though.

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

'Yes, yes. I'm going to make some grilled onigiri, would you like some?

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

It's been a long time.

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

I've been away from home for a while. I felt like making onigiri.

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

I'm looking forward to it. I'm going back to the main street. There don't seem to be any stores around here.

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

There are no stores around here.

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

What is it?

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

Dad, isn't that a store?

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

Ahead of us is a small store.

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

A little old-fashioned sign with a picture of meat and words.

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

"A butcher shop?"

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

Can I take a look?

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

"Yeah, let's go there."

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

Somehow I was attracted to it, so I went to the butcher shop.

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

The store was small, and from what I could see through the window, there seemed to be only one type of meat on sale.

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

I had seen that lean meat before, maybe it was melmets?

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

Is this a specialty restaurant?

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

For a specialty store, the amount of meat they sell is lonely, though.

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

But the meat seems to be in good condition.

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

Dad, I'd like to buy some more melmets.

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

I don't mind, but..." "Oh, I don't mind at all. The melba with sauce was delicious.

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

I want to use that sauce as a base, but I want to try different flavors.

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

I see. I'm looking forward to it. Oh, Ivy, I have a favor to ask you.

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

What's up?

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

I still have some of that sauce-soaked melba I made a while back. Can I have some of that for snacks?

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

That was the plan from the beginning. I'll change the flavor a little to make it a snack.

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

Dad looked happy at my words.

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

I'm really happy to see this kind of exchange.

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

When I opened the door to the store, a lovely clanking sound echoed through the store.

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

Surprised, I looked at the top of the door and saw a doorbell.

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

Welcome."

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

A young man appeared from the back of the store.

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

When he saw us, he looked surprised.

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

He tilted his head.

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

What is it?

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

Is this meat Merme?

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

Yes, it is. Um?"

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

He looks more surprised when I confirm that I am a melmets.

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

What on earth is it?

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

I want 20 kilograms of melmets, please.

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

A bit much, don't you think?

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

But I've made the basic one, and I'm thinking of sweet, soy-sauce, herb-infused, and other flavors.

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

I think I need 20 kilos, don't you?

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

I'm thinking, "......20 kg?　I'm sorry, are you sure you're not confusing it with some other meat?　It's "Merme"?

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

Hmm?

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

Are you confusing it with other meat?

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

What's going on here?

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

"Owner, it's definitely MELME. What we want is 20 kilos of MELME.

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

The father slowly said to the owner, raising his voice a little.

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

The owner is stunned for a moment, and then he hurriedly prepares the meat.

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

He says, "I'm sorry. Melmets are not very popular. But are you sure you can afford to buy so much?"

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

It's okay because it's cheap, right?"

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

It's really cheap because it's not popular, isn't it?

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

No, it's not that. Can you use it all?　It's 20 kilos.

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

It's so delicious, 20 kilos will be gone in no time.

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

...... delicious?　It's delicious. ...... No, it's nothing.

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

So that's how it is.

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

In this village, melmets are hard and smelly.

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

If you prepare it with medicinal herbs and marinate it in a sauce made from papasi, it will taste good."

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

The owner's face turned thoughtful at my words.

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

He said, "I tried a lot of things with papasi too. ......"

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

I remember that if I just marinated the fish in the sauce first, it would have a bad smell.

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

So I used herbs to get rid of the smell.

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

I think it was a good idea to use herbs to remove the smell first.

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

Um, sir!　Can I have some of that meat?　Can I have some of that meat and the way you cooked it?

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

The owner bowed his head so vigorously that it sounded like he was about to make a noise.

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

I stared at the back of the shopkeeper's head in dismay at this unexpected turn of events.
