We exchanged a few words as we walked leisurely towards the special monster race track.

''I wonder if Lynne has fallen asleep again?''
It's like sleeping in a trampoline.

　Just as Fia-sensei and Noin-san said, after the conversation with Fafnir-san, Lynn dove into my clothes again and fell asleep in a sulky way.
　Hmm, I can't say for sure since I don't know the situation well, but Lynn isn't the type to drag it out, so she'll be fine when she wakes up after sleeping.

''By the way, by the way, on a different note........was Belle-chan also a monster race champion?
Yes, though it's only one race...
Gah!

　Belle, who nodded her head as if to say ahem, is cute, so I'll pat her on the head for now.

The first thing that comes to mind is that Fafnir said it's OK to jump in, so why don't you come out too, Belle?
Gah!
No, you can't. It's too dirty.
'Grua!　Coo, coo~
No!
Coo....

　I'll note that Belle is very motivated, even though she ran so much earlier. Belle likes to run anyway, and I know she wants to participate.
　But if she participated in a monster race, a race in which almost anything goes, it was inevitable that she would get her hair dirty. That's no good. If that happens, I'll stop going around the festival and start washing Belle's entire body.

'Mi, Miyama-kun?　So, but, you see, Belle wants to get out, right?
'What's no good. Besides, it would be bad for the other demons, because if Belle entered the monster race, she would be overwhelmed. It would be bullying to the weak.
Yeah, I guess so.

　That's right, I'd also like to see Belle's heroics, but I don't think I need to bother competing since I know the outcome.
　For some reason, Fear-sensei and Noin-san had a drawn-out smile on their faces after hearing my words, but I decided to clear up Belle's misunderstanding before that.

''Well.......Also, Belle. Just so you know, you can't put me on your back in a monster race, okay?
Gruffy?

　Yes, Belle likes to 'run with me on her back'. Belle's expression changed to one of shock upon hearing my words, and then she moved behind me with a leisurely gait.
　Apparently, he had lost his interest in monster racing. I haven't been able to walk him around for a few days after participating in the Six Kings Festival............................I'll take him to the farm I mentioned earlier later.

"Miyama-kun is really taking good care of Belle and Rin, isn't he? Come to think of it, did you buy a retractable pet house as well?
"...what?　How does Dr. Fear know that?

　Dr. Fea is referring to the pet house that I won at auction the day I went around with Isis-san. I'm sure Dr. Fea wasn't there at the time.................Alice?　That would be Alice.

Lady Chartier taught me.
Yeah.
'Ah!　That reminds me!　Didn't you win the bid for the diary written by Noin, Miyama-kun?
Huh!

　Noin-san reacted with great vigor to the words Fia-sensei told her. Come to think of it, that's right.
　I was confused by the fact that I met Luce-san after that, and I completely forgot the diary I was going to give to Noin-san.

''Hey, hey........Kaito-san!　What's going on?　Why would Kaito-san have my diary.....
'I actually won the bid by accident, and I was going to give it to Noin-san later but I forgot all about it. I haven't looked inside, so it's fine.
Yeah, well, that's good.
.........uh......uh, this is it. Yes, how-- "Miyama-kun, wait! --What?
Fear?

　It was late, but when I tried to return the diary to Noin-san as planned, I was stopped by Fea-sensei on the way for some reason.

''........Miyama-kun. As I recall, you won that with a single white gold coin, didn't you?
White gold?
'Yes, yes, but...'
'Hmmm........hey, Noin. I don't think you're going to take that diary and call it quits, do you?　In other words, that diary is Miyama's property.

　Wow~ I can't even imagine how bad you look on a normal day. Come to think of it, Fea-sensei used to make fun of you quite a bit, only with Noin-san.......
　Perhaps Noyn-san also has a bad premonition, but she turns towards Dr. Fea with a blue expression.

''.........What are you trying to say?''
I was thinking that Miyama-kun has the qualifications to read that diary, and I wanted to read it too. And I would like to read it too.
What?　No, you can't!　Or rather, the second half must be the real story!
Oh, well, that's okay. It's not like I'm writing anything weird in my travel diary, is it?
Well, that's... well, it's true, but...

　Mr. Feer and Ms. Noin continued to argue with each other for a while, but I had a feeling that Mr. Feer would win.
　In the end, that prediction came true, and Mr. Noin-san, who was persuaded by Mr. Fea, reluctantly agreed to have Mr. Fea and I read the diary.

　The diary I wrote on my journey to defeat the Demon King I would be lying if I said I wasn't interested in it too. Fea-sensei would also want to know what Noin-san was thinking about during the journey to defeat him.

''Well then, we'll see.
Ummm, okay but when was that diary?
It's called 'Earth Moon'.

　It seems that the current moon of light was once called the moon of the earth. It was changed to the Moon of Light in honor of Noin-san's achievement in signing the friendship treaty.

''Ah~ So it's just about time for the diary......................Are you?　These are otherworldly characters. I can't read them.......Miyama-kun, will you read them for me?
Okay, I understand.

　It's easy to forget, but I can read the characters of this world through the automatic granting of the hero summoning magic circle, but for Fea-sensei, Japanese is indeed a language of another world.
　I'm sure most people in this world don't understand what I'm writing in this diary.
　Oh, I see... that's why Noin-san isn't looking for her past diary in her own blood.

　With that in mind, I dropped my eyes to the stack of papers at hand and began to read.






　The 12th day of the Earth Moon
　I, for goodness sake, I'm losing my patience. I know I don't have the luxury of being on a journey but still, there are things I can't stand!　Rice, no rice!　I don't want to eat bread anymore!　I want a breakfast of white rice, miso soup, takuan and grilled fish........
　Or rather, aside from grilled fish, there is no miso or takuan.....


　The 16th day of the earth moon
　We stopped at a diner in town during our trip. It didn't look good, but it tasted wonderful. It might be a little bit like Chikuzen-ni. The vegetables, which were well seasoned, made me feel happy to eat them.
　There has been a lot of dried meat in the field lately, and a hot meal is a treat in itself. Oh, if it was white rice instead of bread, I don't know how happy I would be.......rice, I can't find it.


　The 20th day of the earth moon
　Today is a great day!　I'm not a Christian, I'm a Buddhist, but I just thanked God for that!　To my surprise, in the village where we stopped today we found soybeans!　No, they were a little different in size than the one from the world I was in, but that taste, that texture, is definitely soy!
　Ah, I have a glimmer of hope. As long as we have soybeans, we can make miso and soy sauce!　It will take some thoughtfulness........
　So, yes!　If there are soybeans...........................there must be 'azuki' beans in there somewhere!　Yup, you may have the honey you've been dreaming of!　This is what I call motivating!


　The 24th day of the earthly month.
　...I can't find any rice. According to Laguna's story, there is something similar to the frontier of the Hydra Kingdom, but the direction is opposite. It's the complete opposite of the Demon King's Castle, so I can't go get it.
　Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
　I must defeat the Demon King as soon as possible and go to pick rice... Now, a sure mission dwells in my heart!　I will defeat the demon king. And I'll get you the rice!
　Starting tomorrow, let's work harder than ever before!







...Hey, Noin?　Can I be angry?　It's kind of treated as if it's an incidental part of taking me down, obviously... I mean, all it says is that it's about food!　What were you doing there, boy!
Because I wanted to eat white rice.
Shall we turn around?　Because if you just look at my diary, this looks like I'm eating and looking for food from my hometown!
Because I wanted to eat honey.

　Fea-san, who had thought it was about her, was dismayed and angry at the diary, which contained food reports from the town she stopped in and her craving for Japanese food.

　Dear Mom and Dad - no, but this is a diary that cannot be shown to people in this world who believe in the first hero. After all, my main motivation for the overthrow of the Demon King is - it's white rice....
