After our meeting with Jagrad, we moved to the shopping area in front of the main entrance.

"Would you mind waiting here until we're ready?
　He nodded to Eel, the head of the guard, who told him so.
　We will spend some time in the city for the time being.

　According to Yale, we would be ready to go by tomorrow morning.
　This is where we are going to stop today.

　The shop we were led to is
　Dining room and shop on the first floor
　There's an inn on the second floor.
Mr. Eel has already paid for the meal.
　As long as you eat here, you're welcome to have your meals at no charge.
　Yes, the girl at the restaurant told me.

　I wasn't so hungry.
I need to eat!
　Korok appealed furiously.
　Even the girl at the restaurant couldn't help but laugh.

　The characteristics of the food at the cafeteria are as follows
　Anyway, the amount of each item, the amount of each dish.
　The small number of items are all served in large portions.

　Korok is　
　He was so excited to see his favorite meat dish served in a pile, and he ate it with great excitement.
'This is delicious!'　It's so delicious!
　And a big smile on his face, Korok.

　I always thought.
　Korok's smile makes me happy just by looking at it.
　It's so carefree and innocent.
　Maybe it's because she's still young, but her emotions come straight to her.
　When you say those words.
　Korok suddenly looked frustrated.
You're not a little bear, Korok is already a great lady bear.
　Then he stood up.
　He winked at me, clasping his hands together behind his head.

　Yup.

　It's very difficult to react.
　I guess he thought he was trying to be mature or bewitching, but
　For me.
　It looked like a little girl playing around, and that's why

"Terrible bear, excuse me.
　Phew, I'm Korok, who puffed out his cheeks as he said that.
　Despite the gesture, as he brought the meat to his mouth, he quickly returned to his original big smile.

　Yup.
　That's still a better fit for Korok than bewitchment.

◇ ◇ ◇.
　
　When we finished eating, we were
　I walked around the shopping street.

　I was very interested in the shopping mall in such a remote area, and also in the area bordering on undeveloped land.

　I wondered what things are handled in such a place
　I wonder what the store looks like.
　How much?
　What's the market rate?

　I was thinking this and that as I walked around the store.
　The chief of the guard, Gugs, patted me on the shoulder.
I know how you feel, my lord, but can't you just forget about work and enjoy yourself for once?
　It's kind of weird to walk around with your eyebrows wrinkled up like that in such a vibrant city.
　I laughed at that.

　That's what he said.
　I put my hand to my brow.

　Oh, dear.
　I knew it was a metaphor, but I just, you know.

　Come to think of it, Googus is right.
　I didn't come here for a visit, and I'm just here to pass the time.

　It's not that I'm not here to inspect, it's just to pass the time.
　I turned my gaze once again to the city.

　I looked again.
　It's very crowded in the city.
　
　Not in a bad way.
　The multitude of species continues to come and go, and it's always vibrant.

　There are sub-humans transporting freshly harvested vegetables through the mud, and
　The owner of the store trying to buy it in transit.
　A business meeting that starts on the spot.

　and
　Everyone in the free air.
　People come and go with great energy.

　When I walked around the city
　Suddenly a girl stood in front of me.

"You're the guy from upstairs, aren't you?　There's no point in hiding it, I can tell by the atmosphere.
　The girl, who had a red bandana wrapped around her head, snickered as she said this.

　I'm sorry, but I'm not from upstairs.
　I've come to visit you from another land, I told her.
What?　Don't tell me you're a guest on a magic ship!　How can such a big man be in such a remote city!
　And, well, I was kind of very surprised.

　It's just...
　I realized with these words of hers.
　I knew that the magic ship was supposed to be a vehicle for the wealthy in its own right.
　Just.
　This is a part of it that can't be helped in a way.

　Even if the magic stone that powers the magic ship is okay.
　So the main body of the magic ship is always in need of repair and maintenance.

　There's also the cost of maintaining and operating the depot that's set up at each location.
　
　It's more than I first thought.
　It's currently costing a lot of money to maintain the magic ship.

　Still.
　The luxury rooms favored by the rich and famous will be priced higher, and
　That's why we're also paying less for seating for the general public.
　We need to continue to look into those areas and work hard to make them available to a wider range of people.
　Or so I thought.


　You know, I've been thinking about that.
　The girl looked at him suspiciously.

''Hmm~ If your brother was the one upstairs, I would have wanted you to stock up.
　As she said this, the girl pointed to a corner of the shopping district.

　There was a shabby-looking stall there.
　There were several children sitting in the middle of the room.

"I'm Lexpona, their sister.
　Lexpawna beat her chest.
I've only got a small cart like that now.
　Someday, I'll make this Lexpawna Trading Company a household name in the King's Landing, so you can at least remember my name.
　
　Lexpona said so cheerfully.

　I don't know what Lexpawna is selling, she says with such authority.
　I was curious and looked at the stalls.

　There were vegetables that seemed to be freshly picked from the fields and hand-made accessories.
The vegetables are from our farm just down the road. They're really good.
　Then Lexpona says that and smiles with a snicker.

　According to her.
　They want this vegetable to be stocked in stores all over the city of Guianacombe.

　But
　It was the accessories that caught my attention more than the vegetables.

　I think they were made by scraping stones found here and there.
　They're all pretty well crafted... no, not so well, isn't this great?
'Whoa!　Really, this is very nice.
　Aela, who had come with me, couldn't help but squeal with glee.

　That accessory was
　The stone is carved and shaped into a beautiful semicircle, with various patterns carved into it.
　The patterns give the viewer a very mysterious image.

Who made this?
　When I say that.
　One little girl at the back of the children timidly raised her right hand.
"Her name is Moffaveratta," she said. She's very shy," she said. He's always in the corner making these stone works.
　Lexpona laughs at that.
　Moffaveratta, perhaps embarrassed by Lexpona's words, blushed and slumped.

　According to Lexpona.
　The children who work here all have no parents.
I'm taking care of the orphans in the jungle who got in an accident or were killed by a monster... and I'm just showing off.
　Lexpona laughs at that.

　While listening to those stories.
　I stared at the accessory and the mofabellatta in turn, and
You got any more of this stuff?
　I asked.

　Then Moffaveratta nodded coyly.
　He went back to where he had been earlier and brought a box from there.

　In it.
　There were not only stones, but also accessories made of little pieces of crystal.
　They are all quite well crafted.

　This.
　You might want to have a look at it, per Quinn of Quinn Trading Company.
　With that thought in mind, I bought all of these accessories.

　That moment.
What?　Can I buy this?
　I, no one has ever looked at me before!
　And Lexpona.

　It would be.
　Accessories like this would never go out of style in a land where people are struggling to survive.

　With enough to feed and shelter.
　For the first time, people begin to care about their clothes.

　This is what a famous management scholar in King's Landing told me.
　That's what I think, too.

　Anyway, I am.
　I was allowed to purchase this accessory and paid more for it.

'What?　Hey, so much!
　And the more astonished Lexporters.

　I turned my attention to Lexpawna and Moffaveratta.
　Next time you see someone named Quinn, he might ask you.
　In the meantime, do you think you can make some more accessories for me?
　That's what I told him.
　Moffaveratta smiled a very happy smile and bowed his head repeatedly.

　
　That's what happened.
　Our time in the shopping district flew by in the blink of an eye.
