A few days after Solte tormented me, I was alone in the alchemy room, smelting.
This time I was making accessories by hand.
My smelting level has reached 8, so I think I can make a recovery potion (large) soon, but there's no demand for it right now.
But now I can even handle quite a few valuable metal items, and I thought I'd try my hand at it.
Fortunately, the ores and gems that Aina and Sorte brought to me were of intermediate to high quality, just right for the occasion.
I also bought some cloth and leather, so I thought I would try to make some accessories with something other than ores.

Lord, I bought a meal.
Okay. I just finished this one, so I'll take a break.
Hmmm, let's eat.

I clean my desk and White climbs onto my lap.
Lately, I've been in this position whenever I'm not working.
He doesn't mind me touching his ears and tail, but I don't know if cats are this friendly.
Well, there are many kinds of cats, aren't there?

Lord
Hmm?
Uh-oh.

When he finishes eating his share, White begs me for food.
He's so used to it that he thinks I'll give him something to eat if he says, "Ah.
You're right, though.

Here.
Amm. Oh, my God, I love you.
Don't eat and talk.
Munching. Munching. Thank the Lord.
Okay.

She's like a daughter, after all.
I feel more and more like a family when Wendy is added to the mix.
Wendy seems to spend this kind of scene with a smile on her face and a smile on her face.

"Lord, she's smiling.
'Oh, sorry. I was paranoid.
'Too many lately. He's not getting any tighter.
That much?　No, but I'm looking forward to it.

Come to think of it, today is the day Yashis returns.
Even though he left for King's Landing in the morning, how can he return in two days after running errands?
Isn't it that far?
I mean, isn't it usually the one thing that takes up the time to meet with the king in the first place?
...Let's not think about it. Yassis, you are a terrible man.

So the settlement is either today or tomorrow after a holiday.
I don't know if it's a week from that day or a week from the next day, so it's probably one or the other.
I don't think that Dardaril or whatever he's called is going to give up easily, but we have White here.
Plus, we have Aina and Sorte, so it's not going to happen very often.
There was a time when I was thinking that, too.

'Come on out, Goluaa!

I can hear Mr. Strongman shouting from the front.
I've heard multiple other voices that I think are yelling and provocations.
Huh, I feel like bad things always happen when I'm optimistic.
Is that it?　Is this a sign from God that we should be on edge at all times?

'Shut up!　I bet you know where we are!

Oh, my God.
Good job, Reinrich.
But then the door to my alchemy room is opened.

"Why don't you go in there and do something?
Impossible. We're having dinner.
Later!　It's not a match for me at all, it's too loud.

Wait a minute, Reinrich!
Don't yank on me!
Oh, no!　I'm going to get f*cked up by a hard man, by a hard man!

Oh, we're going to get out of here and you're not going to...
'It can't be helped. It's bad enough you came at breakfast.

I have a beef skewer sandwich in my hand.
This is the sandwich every morning since White has been shopping recently.
You might think it's heavy, but it's not.
It's a gem of a sandwich that nourishes our spirits in the morning.
It was served to me while I was munching on it.
White was still on my lap.

'Lord, ahhh.'
Uh-oh.
Munching and munching. Lord's sandwiches are so good. The best in the world.

No, it won't change.
But I've got some serious cooking skills, right?
I don't think it's possible for the fat and sauce from the beef skewer to at least have the effect of keeping the bread from getting soggy.

"You're just licking it!　You bastard!

The man lost his patience and shook his fist at me.

'I'm eating. 'Shut up.'
Kaha....

He catches the man's fist and before you know it, he stands up and hits his fist on his pigeon tail and then comes back and sits on my lap.
I knew she was strong.　Was ten million knolls enough for a normal price?
The man was holding his stomach in agony, knees on the ground, desperately trying to catch his breath.

Oh, I know what it's like. I remember falling off my chest and not being able to breathe when I was little.
It's so hard, isn't it? The tears really start to come.
But is it different with a pigeon tail?

The other guys just looked confused and quiet, as if the guy in the lead was going to get hit and jump at them.

"So what do you want?

Squirming.

'Da, Dardaril's husband wants to see you. He wants you to come to the West District compound.
"No.
Why, why...?
'Who's going to the opponent's home turf?　If you need something, tell them you're coming over. Isn't that common sense?

He's an idiot.
Do you think I'm going to bother with that?

But he wants to talk to you about something important...
I don't have it.
Lord, uh-oh.
Can I have it?　That's unusual.
Switch. Come on.
Hey. Ahh.
Uh-oh.

I thought it was unusual for White to feed me, but the beef skewer sandwich he was holding was just a piece of white bread.
Nyarrow. He just wanted some meat, didn't he?

Moku-moku-moku. It's good. The Lord's is delicious.
'Oh, right. Next time you leave some meat for me, too.
I'll be careful. I didn't think it was possible.
"Bullshit.
Yeah, you're lying.

Huh, I think it's a benefit to be pretty.
I feel like an idiot when I have kids.

"Huh?　You're still here?　I'm not moving out of the Alchemists Guild.

When I tell them to go away with their hands, they slither away.
What the hell are they doing here?
Most likely they were trying to intimidate me or get me to drop out of the game by offering me some money.
Why wasn't I scared?　And White didn't look flustered.
I'm sure it's a relief to know that he's doing okay, since he's showing such a relaxed attitude.
Besides, you know what?

I know where I am!
The Devil's Castle of Ains Hale!
A grin and a smirk, and the crying Lady Rainrich is in the castle!
The Alchemist Guild's fortress power is the best in the world!
He's the most powerful and invincible protector I've ever known.
You threw me in front of a bunch of tough guys just now.

Well, let's go back to the alchemy room for now.
There's still some food for White, and I can't just sit at the entrance of the alchemist's guild with White on my lap.

''Lord. I'm here.
Hmm?　Are those things already here?　That's pretty fast.
Hmmm. No. Yassis.

There was indeed a carriage coming from the direction White was facing, but I wondered if Yasis was riding in that one.
When the carriage stopped in front of us, Yashis came out from inside.
The clothes are kind of expensive. Is it called a nobleman's robe?

'Well, well, well, how sorry I am to greet you.
No, I just got in some kind of trouble and was out in the open.
Oh. Is it too much trouble?
Maybe if you stay here, Yarsis will be involved.
'That is certainly troublesome, sir. Well, I'll just tell you what's important and we'll get ready for Wendy as soon as possible.
Hey....

Get involved anyway.
I think it would be quicker to solve the problem that way.

Now to the matter at hand. I have received the King's approval. He seems to be very pleased with you and has asked me to order about 30 of them as soon as possible.
'Then I'll give you the 20 I've made. I won't be able to make the rest until I get the materials to the tool shop.
Oh, you are very good. I'll take this one then.

That said, he took out a large magic bag.
As expected of Yashis, he has at least a magic bag.
I took out the 20 vibrators in the magic bag and handed them to Yashis.

I've got a variety of sizes and other items to choose from, so take a look and try them out. The prices are all the same.
That's very helpful. Well, I'll give you 1,020,000 nolls for 20 units and you'll see for yourself.

Then he put the gold and silver coins in a small, ordinary cloth bag and handed it to me.

''Well, I'm going to go back and help Wendy get ready for the day. Wouldn't you like to return to take your luggage too, Shiro-sama?
Hmm. I think White would be better off here. I don't have much stuff, so bring it with you.

You sure you want to do this, White? Even if it were true, Yashis is your master.
It's just that he hasn't been handed over to me yet.

I'll make do. I'll ask Wendy to gather your things. Then we may be a little late, but please wait.
You sure you don't want me to go?

Since I'm the one who buys it, I think it's only natural for me to pick it up.

'Yes, of course. Mr. Dardaril will be here too, won't he?　If that's the case, I think this is the right place to settle the matter. It's just right for the occasion.
Custom-made?
It's this story. Yeah, it's this way. Don't worry, it won't be as bad as it sounds.

Yashis is also smiling with an evil look on his face.
Somehow, just somehow, I think it's connected to Rainrich!
What the hell do you think you're doing?　What are you doing that I don't know about!
I'm too scared to ask anything!

I'll see you later. I'll see you later.

Oh!　Don't go away with a nice smile!

'White your former master is scary.
Hm. I'm afraid of Yashis. The Lord is kind to me, so just stay put.
'I'd like to keep it that way, too. I hope I don't get poisoned.
"Hm.

I put White on my lap and hugged him tightly, forgetting he was outside.
