Chapter 167: 167

“Welcome… Ah, Druid…”\n

Upon entering the store, the shopkeeper gave a surprised look when he saw Mr. Druid.

Mr. Druid, on the other hand, somehow solidified the moment he entered the store.

What am I supposed to do?

Compare the store owner to Mr. Druid, surely similar?

“Uh, how are you? Is it weird that you got hurt and you’re fine?”

He was a confused looking shopkeeper, but he seems worried about Mr. Druid’s condition.

“It’s okay, it is. I don’t feel any pain.”

Mr. Druid is in a hurry to respond, but he’s interrupted, and he’s pretty much behaving the other way.

As far as we can tell, tension is at its peak.

Even if we wait like this, Mr. Druid doesn’t feel comfortable.

“Hello”

“Hmm? Oh, you are.”

“Yes, he who had rice refined. I’ve been wanting to ask you to add me.”

“… you still ate? Did you have a problem?

“Yes. It was fine. I just can’t cook very well yet.”

“Cook? Do you cook ‘Kome’?

“Yes, I do, though. What’s wrong, sir?

“Oh, I tried to boil it a while ago, but it didn’t taste good when I made something drooling”

Boil?

If you boil rice, it should be food called itching.

Well, as far as what I’ve just been reminded of, is it sure to be a drool?

But it doesn’t taste good?

“Though I think it would be delicious to drop a little salt and eggs”

I’ve never eaten it before, but it looks like it will taste rustic.

Don’t worry about it for a second, let’s make it.

Oh, but this world has a little dark flavor.

Then think about it.

“Salt? I added salt…”

“I think it will taste pretty rustic. So you may not feel good enough.”

I tilt my neck wondering if the store owner is remembering the flavor.

“Sure is rustic when it comes to rustic… but isn’t the taste of ‘kome’ tasteless?

Mm-hmm. The rice itself is slightly sweet.

It might be hard to feel that.

If you want to cook, I think it would be better to cook a rice dish with a good effect on the stock (dashi) than the itch.

“Um, so do you have rice? \n

In Mr. Tokhihi’s story, he said that people had increased rapidly.

Maybe the rice is gone.

“Oh, I’m fine. Same amount as before, okay?

“Yes, please”

No one seems to be buying up to rice.

Or maybe you don’t have the idea of eating because of the perception of feeding.

The owner takes the rice and goes to the back room for the precision rice.

“Huh.”

When the shopkeeper disappeared into the back of the room, he heard a loud sigh from next door.

He seemed pretty nervous.

I see tiredness in his face.

“Are you all right?

“… hahahaha, do I look ok?

“No, not at all”

“Neither did I. I didn’t think I’d be so nervous.”

Is there something going on between you two?

That’s not a good story to ask.

“How long have you not seen him?

“Ahhh, since I left home…… that’s over 20 years”

Over 20 years!

I’ve been in the same town for over 20 years.

You’ve probably seen it before……

I see.

So the store owner as well as Mr. Druid followed some place?

… Is that it?

You’ve never heard of Mr. Druid for ages.

I’m around 40 years old by prediction.

Are you about 40? Let’s not ask.

“Mr. Druid… how old were you when you left the house?

“I’m 12.”

Hmm?

Twelve?

…………………………… about 32 now?

Eh!

32 years old!!

“Mr. Druid, are you 32 now? \n“Now you’re 33.”

33!

Watch Mr. Druid, stand still.

“You struggled ~”

“Ivy, what does that mean? Shall we discuss this properly and thoroughly?

“Ah, uh…”

I think I’ve said something extra.

Ah, my eyes are sitting still!

What should I do?

“Ahahahahaha”

Huh?

When I see those who hear laughter, the store owner is laughing with the sachet in his hand.

Apparently he was listening to our conversation.

“Great, the Druids are looking good”

The shopkeeper seems to enjoy coming back from the back room.

“I haven’t seen you like that in a long time”

“Dad.”

Whoa, that sounds kind of good.

Looks like Mr. Druid’s calmed down, too.

… I’m sure you’ll forget about the years.

“You ate Kome, too?

“No, I haven’t eaten it.”

“Right. I just wanted to know what you think.”

Perception?

If so.

“Um, would you like to come and eat if you have time? Eat with Mr. Druid in the square today.”

For some reason, the store owner seems interested in rice.

Then why don’t you have them eat cooked rice, even if they’re failing?

I’m sure it’s better to eat than to ask.

“” Eh!

Hmm?

Why are you both surprised?

Did I tell you something strange?

“I think you know better to eat than to ask.”

“Oh, right. Yes…”

\nHanded down from generation to generation, it’s a assumption.

“Feeding hasn’t always felt like eating.”

Looks like Mr. Druid has it, too.

View the shelf where the rice is placed.

There are things in big bags, things in small bags, and even oversized bags.

Is there also a large amount of feed because he said he was increasing livestock?

For that, the feed named Rice next door is considerably less.

Do you even like or dislike livestock?

“Ahhh, Dad. What are we gonna do?

“Right. ‘Kome’ also bothers me, can I interrupt?

I guess the way you put it now means you care about Mr. Druid as well as rice.

“Yes, I’m fine. Right, I’ll even make a bowl with a good flavor.”

Bowl floated in my head.

It could be a little bad if the rice is not cooked well…

Believe in yourself.

Almost there, I think it’s coming to a delicious place to cook.

“” Bowl?

I wonder what to do with the meat.

You can’t have a rabbit.

Oh, speaking of which, you have wild bat meat in your magic bag.

Before I came to Alle Town, Ciel hunted me down and brought me some.

Unfortunately, I have already used the bones.

Let’s just buy some eggs and go home on the way home.

Oh, but there’s no soy sauce.

… Is there none?

There was rice and rice.

Maybe there is.

Let’s find out if there’s anything similar.

“Ivy?”

“It’s delicious to make.”

“Oh, I didn’t hear that.”

Huh?

Do what?

I leaned my neck and looked at Mr. Druid and he laughed bitterly.

“I hope so.”

I snort loudly at the store owner’s words, but it doesn’t change considerably without soy sauce.
