Magic Gems Gourmet

Longer than expected, talks continued with Count Baltic.

Needless to say, the old demon kingdom thing was affecting me.

In the evening, when the red sunset began to plug into Ain's room as well.

Count Baltic finally walked away from this place.

"(Well, I don't know what to do...)"

In the end, the only thing is unshakeable.

Krone cannot be taken to the former demon kingdom.

But she herself is willing to go, thinking about how to persuade.

Peek into the faces of Chirali and Lloyd.

He's a smart guy, because of that, I could also understand with eye contact what Ein was distressed about.

Lloyd starts thinking with his hands on his mouth.

You wait! I suppose it would be easy if I gave the order, but from the beginning, a powerful means can also be used.

"I think we can arrive before noon if we leave after the sun rises..."

What Dill talks about is marching time.

But to what extent can Kingsguard knights finish their journey? That's not clear.

"Anyway, we're not very used to marching in the snow mountains either.... unless you're sorry."

It also snows in the winter in Wangdu.

That being said, I still sometimes don't pack that kind of training, and don't you burn your hands there? I expect.

"All this is about the knights and adventurers who are defending the fort. They're more used to it."

And Krone sitting next to Ain.

As she speaks, those people will be more accustomed to it than Kingsguard knights.

But I can't help it anyway. We have to think, in order to do our best in the present situation.

... Well, for Ain, the other one is more of a concern material.

With that in mind, Lloyd seems to have come up with something and opens his mouth.

"Dear Ein, by the way. A letter of introduction from Lord Kaisel… how about we use that one to have it investigated by the Alliance?

"... uh, I mean, that"

"This is an investigation activity divided into two hands. Troops investigating the former demon kingdoms and those working on guilds to investigate.... what do you think?

Hear this word and think.

In other words, a force that stays in the Baltic and works to the Alliance to investigate. Besides, I'll appoint Krone as my commander, and I'll leave the references to everything. Is that what this is all about?

And we march to the former demon kingdom... Hmm, I see.

"(I've been a marshal for years. That power is brilliant)"

There is.

Rather nothing else? and Ain consider in his mind.

I don't actually feel that's better than that.

If you think it's inefficient or unsuitable, can you also get the best results? and can also be expected.

"Then we'll discuss what's next, incorporating Mr. Lloyd's ideas."

The flow has been decided. All I have to do is tell her about this so she can be convinced.

—— Honestly, actually. "I'm worried about Krone," I told her sincerely, and she could put up with her voicemail.

This was Ain's one mistake, yet to understand the female mind.

A number of Kingsguard knights and salaries were exchanged for several crossing meetings.

It was conceived by Lloyd as a second-hand investigation activity.

And here's the decided combination.

An excellent combatant and a group of "Old Demon Kings" who consolidated the researchers.

And a group based in Baltic, headed by Krone, conducts investigation activities.

Incidentally, the latter will be asked to hand in the letter of introduction Ein received from Kaisel and to take part in that investigation in the form of representation.

Though he seemed dissatisfied, Krone was convinced by the word Ein's representation.

She agrees to research activities throughout the city in Baltic.

After that, an organization was created under her command, and the division ended in a day and not long.

The necessary materials were then selected and confirmed, and the materials were packed into the baggage of those heading to the former demon king's land.

Sometimes it was an unfamiliar snowpath march, the contents of which were carefully and carefully prepared to hold up for a month in case of shipwreck.

I could see how many times Krone looked at me like he had chewed up a bitter bug and was struggling with this support.

The departure for the former demon kingdom was decided four days after discussions with the Earl of Baltic.

—— and finally. The morning came four days later.

"It's still cold today..."

"But it's not snowing. Instead, it's freezing cold."

That morning was the coldest day since coming to Baltic.

Water droplets attached to the windows are frozen, and ice columns (rough) formed on the roof extend further to the ground.

I woke up about a few dozen minutes earlier than usual. Ain and Krone.

I didn't have any particular promises or signals, but they joined me in the living space, as if we were meeting.

"Lower temperatures make the ground slippery. So be careful, okay? Don't fall off the hill and come straight back to town...... right?

I say that with a couscous and a laugh, but it's a plain and real problem.

Ein is as unfamiliar with snow as Krone is with some of the members this time around.

That's why I was worried I'd pull my leg off, but I'm not sure Crone would even tell me.

"... if you're not really careful, I'm afraid it's going to be real."

"Oh really? I would welcome that if I were to come back. When you roll back in, don't worry, I'll hold you back and stop you."

"That's fascinating. So much so that it's going to roll deliberately."

Klone helps Ain travel support as she blossoms in jokes.

I'm done with my luggage, but I'm in the middle of changing my cold gear now. Sometimes the cold was harsh, and he had a thoughtful support.

"And then there's this. It's a magic device that can keep you warm, so take care of it, okay?... if you're hungry, you can't suck unconsciously?

"It's a matter of life and death. Even the old me, I'm sure I could stand it."

What Krone says is when Ein was young.

Before I trained, I recalled that I was unconsciously sucking on demon stones.

That was close, Chris. To the point that I was unconsciously sucking on her demon stone, it represented his character as a devourer.

Ain't been worried about demonization lately or absorbing demon stones.

However, Katima's research has proven that there is no problem with moderate amounts. Without absorbing the level of energy that demons will need to evolve, there will be no impact in terms of demonization.

So Ain, like before again, is able to absorb and enjoy the Demon Stone.

"Replacement stones are bags over here.... I think I know, but why don't you eat something to replace it? Can you stand it?"

"You know what? Don't look at me like I'm looking at a little girl, okay? Is that how much you can stand?

Nor can it be called a gentle expression when it comes to it.

But when I change the way I say it, the way I talk to my child makes me feel a little sad.

"Roughly. That kind of demon stone is a worm or a Big Bee, right? Then it's nothing novel..."

"... hey Ein? If it was new, would you have eaten it?

"Ah..."

Because of the failure to deny 100%, the voice leaks as if it were 'ah' to squeeze it out of your throat.

It of course reaches her next door, jito eyes and stares into Ain's eyes.

"... Your Highness? 'Ah......', what does that mean?

"Oh no. Smile like that, put pressure on me... and decide not to ask me?

Have you ever thought about this?

Beautiful jito eyes are somewhat powerful, when you feel some kind of pressure.

"Just in case. I'll tell Lord Lloyd to be careful."

"Is that it? Don't you trust me?"

I cannot speak to the people, but Ain has one martial arts tradition.

That was a story when we crusaded the sea dragon, a story told by Chris.

Even though it was at Seto time of death, Ain had succeeded in enjoying the taste of Sea Dragon's Demon Stone. That's the story.

It's about when Ain was knee-pillow by Chris, but that's heard by royalty and those in close positions without being hidden.

"There was something about the time of the sea dragon, and I thought you could still trust me on this matter?

"Hmmm...... To be honest, five minutes, maybe five? I thought."

"Hehe. Maybe five centimeters?

A discipline that keeps going politely and smoothly while talking.

Even in these parts of care, I roar Ain't gonna do it...

I feel comfortable with this air.

"Yes, end of story. All you have to do... is walk around with your bag."

"Thanks.... oops, that's pretty heavy"

I'm done equipping myself with cold clothes, so I move my legs.

Even if you always want to move your foot, its footprint is so dull that you feel it dozens of times.

I almost knocked my body on the floor.

Though processed, he also wears several pieces of clothing inside, wrapped almost his entire body in fur-covered equipment.

That can't feel lighter. Assuming the focus was only on cold protection, it wouldn't have weighed as much as it does now.

But we're headed for the old demon kingdom.

Going there, it just seems like suicide to look out for defense.

That's why I chose excellent materials for defense and brought them from Wangdu on purpose.

"Looks like your footprint is unstable... are you okay? Can you walk properly?"

"Uh... wait a minute"

That's how I test it in the room.

The journey to the Old Demon King's Land is tough, but I can still get confirmation here as to whether I can at least move my legs.

Examine your senses as you carefully step on the floor to be sure one step at a time.

A feeling of overlapping the surface of the skin with a skin that is not newly your own.

I struggle with managing my center of gravity, but compared to the first step, I have no problems at all.

"I wonder if there's a problem as long as I'm conscious. That was the first step, and it just didn't feel right."

"Oh, yeah. Then I'll be relieved."

He seemed relieved and sighed hah Krone. I put a lot of hard work on her, too.

I always want to go home with some accomplishment in order to reward that hardship.

"... but if this is the case. You should have tried it properly in the castle."

The word does not mean much to Ain.

But for Krone, who heard about it, it would result in Ein taking it more heavily than he thought.

"Oh yeah...... sorry"

Why are you apologizing?

Seeing her with a look of sorry for her words, Ain asked it in a bit of a hurry.

"'Cause it's something I should have noticed when I was an aide to make sure in advance..."

Rarely depressed. No, she'll look like she regretted it.

Sometimes I prefer to have a strong sense of responsibility, but if I try to Ain, I want it to be a little more shattered.

"It's not that I care..."

"Getting zero on what if is also my job as an aide.... I don't want to obscure that."

"Ugh, um..."

Ain't got a worrying feeling too when they look like this when they break up.

So the word that Silvard likes, 'Prize Essential Punishment', came to mind.

"Hey Krone. I'll be back in three days, that's good, right?

Sometimes it's the first time, and this date is three days in today.

Probably for the second and third time, but I'll be on my way a few times.

"... Yes, I do. But what's wrong with that?

Then at times like this, you won't be punished for saying something a little different.

"I'll be so tired when I get home. That's why I order Assistant Crone to relax when I get home. So this mistake is a write-off."

If there is a gap, I can flirt.

No, Ain't probably going to save Ain's body a lot of fatigue.

More snow is falling on tough roads that you don't normally walk on.

Walking around there for a few hours, and further investigation in the former demon kingdom, there's no way your body won't get tired.

So if you tell me the truth, I can't deny there's a part called 'Please massage me' either.

—— When he heard the words, he saw her face as a guide pocan, and Ain nibbled his grin.

"K, Krone...... what that face. When I jumped on a sea dragon, he looked the same."

"Mm, mmm... Huh! What the... Ugh."

I could finally win just one.

She inflates her cheeks just a little and creates dissatisfaction like a normal girl.

My cheeks are getting a little red, is that a cover of light?

Nevertheless, I've never seen anything called 'Mmm'.

But I think she has one of these.

"I don't like it, but it's my call."

In the meantime, I assure you before she disagrees anyway. She goes out, because sometimes it's more honest to force her like this.

"... even if they don't tell me. When Ain came back, that's what I was gonna do for you."

"Oh, well... it was. Then I'll ask you to keep it in mind. That's good, right?

Ain't surprised by her spirit of service, but still going strong.

You don't have to tell me. You'll go and remember, but, well, things seem to say.

For a while she looked unhappy biting her lips.

I guess that's how I got organized in my mind. I blushed in embarrassment, and I finally came to convince myself.

"Ok...... If His Royal Highness says so, I will sweeten you to that tenderness this time."

"Mm-hmm. Honest and good"

Maybe you should get ahead of yourself.

It's such a small thing, because Krone was seen with a lit face or a peeling face.

I'm sure the investigation will go well. It's not weird to think that way either.

"Well, shall we go then? It's a little early for a rendezvous, but, well, I guess it's okay."

Actually, I'm kind of getting used to my body.

I guess it worked out that I was moving my body to gesture and hand gesture to follow Krone.

The body seems to be getting used to its unique weight and the body feels lighter than it initially did.

"Hey Ain. Really careful, huh? Don't push me, okay?

"I know. Sometimes it's my first day, and I'm thinking about going home when things get dangerous."

I want to avoid distress.

Even so, it seems that it is easy to understand the journey, so it seems that it is about once every few years to be shipwrecked.

Plus this time I'll have a few guides from the guild. The equipment is also equipped, so the support is adequate.

"Are the Lloyds downstairs already?

It's still a little early for the promised time.

But I'm sure Lloyd and Dill will already be in some work in the lobby of the inn.

"I think he is. I think we're double-checking our progression for departure."

Ein nodded at Krone's words.

They said they'd come and drop me off, so the two of us headed up to the lobby together.

As we descended into the lobby, the Lloyds were in the middle of a dominance as expected.

I asked him to greet me gently before continuing the work, and after approximately 10 minutes he finished preparing.

Unlike usual, the Kingsguard knights change their clothes to complete cold-proof gear.

I feel careless, but a little leisure feeling sprouts up in Ain's mind.

—— Then he tells Krone, 'I'm coming,' and Ein finally leaves the inn for the former demon king's realm.

This journey with several researchers as well as Kingsguard knights.

Though it had not snowed when I left the inn, I felt cold enough on my face that the sweat was about to freeze.

But if you wave your hands and feet, you won't feel the cold there.

The equipment provided is excellent and apparently doesn't make you feel cold all over your body.

... for three days first. Let me in today for three days.

If I could go back to the inn, I think I'd be heading back again for the second and third time.

But without sweetening it, 'May there be a discovery from the beginning', Ein offered prayer to the goddess Lori of nostalgia.
