Mr. Druid enters the butcher feeling a little nervous.\n
âLong time no seeâ
âOh, Druid. Itâs been a really long time. I heard about your arm, are you okay?
After Mr. Druid, he enters the store and sees Mr. Tokihi, who would be the shopkeeper.
All the butcher shopkeepers so far had a good width, but Mr. Tokihi was a skinny man.
âItâs okay. Thank you.â
âIf adventurers canât go on, I can introduce you to work, donât worry.â
Mr. Tokhihi is a very good man.
âItâs okay. Uh, Iâll introduce you. Ivy, over here.â
Mr. Druid calls me in a little rush.
His face is kind of a little red.
Could it have been embarrassing for you to be worried?
âWhoa? Oh, thatâs the kid?
That kid?
What do you know about me?
When I look at Mr. Druid, he has the look that heâs gone.
Apparently you know why.
Letâs check back later.
âNice to meet you, Ivy.â
âOh, thank you politely. Itâs Tokihi the butcher. Say hello.â
Hands that are soothingly offered.
While I feel uncommon, I hold the hand offered to me,
âNice to meet youâ
I bow my head a little deeper.
When I gave him a face, he gave me a surprised look, Mr. Tokihi.
⌠Was it any different?
âYouâre a pretty solid kid, though.â
⌠again.
Mr. Druid, you seem to be working very hard and putting up with it, because your shoulders are shaking.\n
And then the mouth is drawn.
âUm, Iâm Ivy, 9 (âŚ) years old (âŚ). Best regards,â
I say it with a little effort to my 9 year old.
âWhat!⌠right. Iâm sorry, I looked like I was about six or seven.â
⌠Youâre an honest man, Iâm sure.
âNo, Iâd like to sell that meat. Is it okay?
âMeat?â
âYes, itâs meat from a wild rabbit.â
âYouâve been to the woods? No matter how many droids there are, it will be dangerous.â
Iâm surprised your voice gets a little louder.
Do people in this town have a lot of worrying people?
âItâs okay. So, uh.â
Oh, my voice got a little louder when I was followed.
âItâs okay. Because Iâm in the woods after Iâm properly prepared to escape.â
Mr. Druid walks in between laughing.
By the way, what are you getting ready to get away with?
Oh, could it be about the hot bag?
âRight. Prepare yourself. How strange is Gulbal these daysâ
âOh, so itâs meat.â
âThatâs no problem, I appreciate it. Iâm having a hard time getting it because Iâm in this condition.â
âGood. I just spoke to him.â
Get the rabbit out of the bag.
There are 13 to sell.
I plan to use the two for dinner.
Letâs bake some vanilla today.
âDonât let me see itâ
Mr. Tokihi looks at the meat wrapped in banana leaves with a serious look.
When I finished looking at it all, I nodded silently several times.
âGood condition. Freshness is no problem.â \nâGood for you, Ivyâ
âYes, thank youâ
As soon as I hunted, the freshness was different.
âWait for me. Iâll have the money.â
Once in the back, Mr. Tokihi comes right out with a basket.
âItâs 130 dals a piece, and itâs going to be 1690 dals in total, okay?
â130 dals! Isnât it expensive?
Mr. Druid makes a surprised voice.
Sure surprised me, too.
The ravens are 100 or 110 dals tall.
130 dals.
âFewer adventurers are going to the woods because of Gulbal. Thatâs why I donât have any meat. The shelves are empty, arenât they?
To Tokihiâs words, look at the store shelves.
I usually check when entering the store, but today I was distracted by Mr. Druidâs nervous face and forgot to confirm.
Thereâs just a small amount of meat on the shelf I saw.
Iâm free after that.
âThatâs not much. What is happening to the livestock producers?
âIt hasnât grown enough to cover all the meat in town. Weâre spreading it a little bit, and itâs growing in numbers.â
You donât know what youâre talking about.
âI didnât know. He said it was something that could already be covered to some extent.â
âThereâs a demon. Yeah, well, spreading the town doesnât get around to security. If you spread it poorly, youâll be attacked and damaged.â
âThatâs true.â
âIt went well along the way, but there would have been a massive influx of people from the neighboring village a while back, wouldnât there? I donât have plans.â
Uh, does this mean that meat for all the people in this town canât be prepared in livestock?
Well, isnât it strange because I hear there are many villages and towns that rely on the meat of adventurers?
Still, what do you mean, a massive influx of people?
âYou had that, too. Thereâs something about Gulbal now.â
âThe top guys in town look like theyâre in trouble. By the way, do you have a problem with the amount of ravioli?
\nâWhat, are you going?
I gave Mr Druid a slightly weird response to his words.
Well, I know what that means, so itâll be fine.
âOh, I canât help but run away forever. I could talk about it.â
âYouâre serious!
Mr. Tokihi makes a very surprising voice.
âIâm sure Mr. Tokihi has recommended it.â
âNo, I did⌠but I didnât think I was going. Right, is something wrong?
Mr. Druid laughs bitterly at Mr. Tokihiâs words.
A little lighting mixes in that look.
Mr. Tokihi noticed, too, and smiled happily after giving him a slightly surprised look.
âI donât know what happened, but Iâm glad.â
âIt is also thanks to Mr. Tokhihi. Thanks.â
âI donât know, donât worry about itâ
Really, Mr. Tokhihi is a good man.
When I left the butcher, Mr. Druid said he wanted to talk to Mr. Tokhihi soon.
Looks like itâs heading in a good direction.
âThanksâ
Mr. Druid would like to thank you on his way to the next store.
âI didnât do anything.â
He laughs a little at my words and strokes his head with a pong.
Iâve never seen Mr. Druid act like that before.
Iâm a little surprised, but that hand makes me so sweet and happy.
âHuh. Donât be more nervous than just now.â
When I saw Mr. Druidâs face, I almost sprayed it.
