Hi, Sylvia and Raffy. Welcome.
Hi, Mr. Rulimes!
Sorry to disturb you, sir.

　The wraiths were greeted by Lurimes, who acted like a landlord. She greets them with a big smile and seems to be in a good mood with her arms crossed.

　Lace looks at her own master with a blank expression.

''Master, have you finished organizing your materials?

　There is no voice to reply to the question uttered in a cold voice. Rulimes is still only smiling with a smile.

''........Should I skip dinner?''
Wha...!　Arrogance!

　Lurimes guffawed at the blurted out words and raised his hand to protest. But Wraith snorted as if to mock him.

''There's a saying that those who don't work shouldn't eat.
I'm working!　I'm just resting up for now!
'Master, how many years do you think I've been a disciple? Do you think I can be fooled?

　Wraith shook his head as if he was looking at an incomprehensible child, and he shook his head in a do-or-die manner. His teacher, Lurimes, looks miffed at his apprentice's not-so-good attitude.

'If you've been doing this for years, trust me!
So you're really making progress?
..........
Don't look away, eyes.

　Lurimes swims his eyes out beautifully. Wraith puts a hand on his head and sighs.

'Oh well. You'll get it right later.'
Ew.
It must be true...

　There was nothing but anxiety in the appropriate reply that was uttered while extending both hands. Raffy and Sylvia laugh at this.

''Well then, shall we think of a name for the restaurant?

　If I don't finish this, I won't be able to start the shop anytime soon. Besides, I still have products to make and a logo to create.

Any ideas?
'Well...'

　Some naming techniques involve replacing simple words with another language or combining two or more words.

　Raffy and Sylvia both wracked their brains.

'Hmm, a simple one, like Alchemia?'
Alchemia....

　Not a bad sound, Wraith ponders. Although it is indeed simple, it is obvious that it is a store about alchemy. Since the name of the shop is to be remembered in the first place, there's no need to make it that complicated.

　Wraith nodded to one person and clapped his hands with a pan.

''Adoption!''
''Well I suggested it myself, but are you sure you want to use that name?　There's still time.

　Raffy asks anxiously at the decision so quickly.

'I suppose it's not going to take much time, so let's do this. It's a quick decision.
'Well, if it's okay with Wraith, that's fine with me...'

　He likes it a lot, so he doesn't mind it at all.

I thought, "Okay, well, let's keep this up and decide on a logo, anyway.
That's all well and good but I don't know how to draw.
I can't either.
It'll be fine. I just need to see the design and get some feedback.

　Wraith, who is in a good mood, quickly prepares paper and pen. The momentum is so great that there's no room to say no.

''Actually, I've been thinking about it for a while.
Is that so?
Well, I wasn't sure if I was going to have a store before.

　Wraith moves his hands smoothly while talking. The logo is not complicated, as it's just a one-point design.

'Okay, done.'

　After about ten seconds, Wraith stopped his hand.

''Is this ... fire?''
Bingo. Well, technically, it's demon fire.
Why the flames?

　In response to the most pressing question, Wraith rubbed his cheeks in embarrassment.

'It's from my name...'
'Mr. Wraith...?　Oh!
You mean the ghost.
Well, that's just the way it is.

　The name Wraith reminded me of a ghost, and that's how I came to use the demon fire as my logo. There's nothing wrong with using yourself as a model, but for some reason I feel embarrassed.

'I don't think it's my fault,'
'Yes, I think it's good too!
Okay, we'll take that one.

　With their agreement, here's the Alchemia logo. Crunchy is a good place to be.



　Sylvia chuckles, as if she had expected it to be a bit longer.

''That's right. .........Oh, well, do you two know what a dragon car is?''

　Wraith suddenly remembered the story Amelia had told him. The two of them blinked curiously and nodded their heads in wonder.

''A dragon car is that dragon car that the earth dragon is pulling, right?
Come to think of it, it's about time.

　For two people who have been living in the royal capital for a long time, it's like how many times the dragon car is coming. Aside from the first time Wraith, I'm not particularly aware of it.

　It's just that kind of thing that comes to mind when you're told.

''Oh yeah. Have you two ever seen it?''
I've seen them before, but I haven't seen them that slowly.
Me too.
Is that what it is?
'Well, there's a limited time frame for you to come, and there's nothing to worry about...'

　As long as I'm working as an adventurer, if the request and the time of year are covered, that's all goodbye. Besides, it's not like they're interested enough to go out of their way to visit.

　Therefore, Raffi and Sylvia are not that familiar with the dragon car.

The only thing you can do is to go and see the dragon carriage with me tomorrow if you want.
Tomorrow ... well, I don't mind.
I'll be fine too!

　It's not so much the dragon wheel that I want to see, but rather the exotic items. It's just a faint hope that I'll be happy to get something interesting.

''What about you, Master, do you want to go with me?''
I ask you the other way, Mr. Ray. Do you think I'll ever get out?
I'm sure it's not something to be proud of at least.

　Since he suddenly declares himself a recluse with a smug look on his face, Lace can't help but go into it seriously. Maybe it's time to get serious about kicking him out.

　Rulimes, the master, is a complete pimp to his apprentice, Wraith. It might still have been better if he could do one of the household chores, but, unfortunately, such skills don't exist for Lurimes.

''Well then, shall the three of us go tomorrow?
Yes.
Well, I guess I'll be leaving for the day.
'See you later, Raffy, Sylvia.

　They didn't have any particular promises to make. After successfully accomplishing the request from Wraith, Raffy and Sylvia returned home.

''Well, I'll start making signs too...''

　I have a signboard ready to go, so all I have to do is put the name of the shop on it, which has just been decided. While I was fantasizing about putting in a logo as well. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the figure of Rulimes, who was lying on the edge of his body as if to hide himself.

''..........''
How long are you going to be absent, Master?
It's not even close.
I wonder what we'll have for dinner today.

　Lurimes, who makes a bitter expression at Wraith's words, heartily gets up and disappears out of the room with a troublesome look on her face. It's a decision that if you slack off any further on the stone, your dinner is seriously in jeopardy. He has a style of attacking the last minute.

''How long do you plan to stay here, Master........''

　Wraith sighed tiredly.
