Off the boulevard, you walk down a path that is sparsely populated.
It seems that there is a shop selling delicious bread on this street.
āDad, I need to check.ā
Look at the basket your father has.
Whatās the matter?
How many people is that?
In any case, itās too much meat for the two of us.
Huh, two or three people, right?
Shake your head to your fatherās words.
I donāt think the three of us will ever be able to eat it.
If you eat only meat, can you eat it?
But I donāt want to eat like that.
āReally? You and I ate it together before.ā Iām telling you itās a bit short⦠oh, those two were better stature adventurers than me. ā
Donāt leave me with such a person!
Canāt you?
āYou canāt do that.ā
My father puts his shoulders to my words.
Think for a moment before you look at me.
āLetās buy something else and go back to the inn and eat together.ā If Garth and the others had already eaten lunch, we could put it in the magic box. ā
āThatās right. Letās do it.ā Are you tired, Dad? ā
I just noticed, but I feel a little less energetic than usual.
āNo, I think itās okay⦠how about that?ā
I stared at your father with a strange expression on his face.
I donāt feel the same as usual, but⦠no, I still donāt think Iām feeling well.
āI feel a little tired.ā
Is that so?
āI donāt know?ā
Think a little bit about my words, Father.
Speaking of which, it took me a while to wake up this morning.
After all, Iām tired.
āYou should take a good rest.ā Letās get everything we need and go back to the inn. ā
āIf Ivy says so, I guess sheās tired. All right, take it easy. Ah, thatās the shop.ā
When I saw the way my father pointed, I saw a sign for a bakery.
āIām glad it didnāt crumble.ā
I go into the bakery with my happy father.
The smell is good inside the store and it is a little tough because I am hungry.
āItās white bread! And itās bigger than the white bread Iāve ever seen!ā
Is this characteristic of this village?
Anything, a little bigger.
āIf we eat together, how many do you think we need?ā
If we eat together⦠maybe there are people who eat five or six of them alone.
It is one piece and it is about the size of 5 pieces.
Does that mean one per person?
It is big for me, but I donāt have any problem with it, so I think it is 6 pieces.
But Iām a little worried about six of them.
Letās make it 7.
When I nodded my words, my father asked the store staff for 7 pieces of white bread and 4 pieces of black bread.
Whatās that?
You want to buy some black bread?
If so, wouldnāt it be nice to have six pieces of white bread?
Gon.
Huh?
I think I heard something from that black bread that didnāt sound like bread.
Gong, itās not the sound of bread falling on the table.
āFather, the black bread of this villageā
āItās harder than other villages. But itās popular because it tastes good.ā
Itās popular even if itās hard and itās delicious.
Iām just worried about the sound of gongs.
You can dip it in the soup and eat it, but you can also cut it thinly and put the meat on it and eat it well.
Are you going to cut it thinly?
I see.
I receive bread from the person at the store.
My dad has a basket full of meat.
āDonāt you think I should put my luggage in a magic bag?ā
Look at the paper bag with the bread and the basket I have, and my dad looks at me.
Thatās true, isnāt it?
Why didnāt you think of that?
I wonder if Ivyās tired, too.
Dad puts a basket of meat and a paper bag of bread in a magic bag.
Huh, me too?
I think about it a little bit, but I donāt think itās the same as usual.
When you leave the store, you walk next to your father.
āItās okay, Iām fine.ā
Is that so?
Yeah.
Iām a little nervous when asked.
āWell, in case something happens, itās better to keep your body perfect.ā Depending on the kingās movements, weāll be leaving the village soon. ā
I see.
Is there such a thing?
āI see. By the way, are you going back to the boulevard?ā
āYeah, the purpose is a fruit salad.ā
Fruit salad?
Was it delicious to eat before?
āNo, I was worried, but I didnāt eat.ā I didnāt eat salads when I was young. ā
Speaking of which, Iāve heard that my fatherās diet in his youth consisted of meat and bread in the morning, meat and bread in the day, and meat and bread in the evening.
It seems like he also ate the soup with vegetables and the vegetable sideburns occasionally.

It was a salad made only of fruit, and it was a beautiful salad with a lot of colors.
āDo you have a color?ā
I lost my luggage, so I held my hand with my father and walked down the main street.
After all, a lot of people donāt feel safe holding hands.
Besides, Dad is good at inducing people not to bump into him.
āOh, the store is gone.ā
When I looked at your father, he gave me a sad look.
At the end of the line of sight is a sign that says āvegetable stew shop Gau.ā
Looks like itās not the store you were looking for.
Iām sorry to hear that.
I wanted to eat it.
āI see. I didnāt have any salad, but would you like to take a peek at that shop?ā
Stewed vegetables?
I have plenty of meat, so I want some vegetables.
Salads are good, but I also love to simmer.
āLetās go see it.ā
When I approached Gauās stall, it smelled gentle and fluffy.
āIt smells good. Shall I buy it?ā
āYeah. Letās do that.ā
Itās past lunchtime, but there are about 10 people in the stall.
Lining up at the end, I looked at other stalls.
Itās lively, isnāt it?
You can hear energetic voices from every store.
Sheās too energetic and seems to be fighting if she only hears her voice.
As far as the surroundings are concerned, it seems to be the usual thing.
āWelcome!ā
Now that the order is up, look at the menu table.
Whatās that?
There is a fruit salad.
āFather, thatāsā¦ā
When I pointed to the menu table, my father nodded as if he had noticed it.
āThereās a fruit salad, isnāt there?ā Is it the same thing that you used to sell in this store? ā
The shopkeeper laughs at his fatherās words as if he was in trouble.
āThatās my motherās menu. Iāve taken over the flavor. Iām not sure if it tastes the same as the previous fruit salad, but the seasoning is the same.ā
Even if you make it the same way with the same seasoning, the taste will differ from person to person.
That was strange.
āThen Iād like a fruit salad and a stew of todayās vegetables.ā 4 servings each ā
The lady shopkeeper immediately brings four baskets and puts them on the counter.
The vegetables were also prepared immediately.
Next to your dadās account, you see a basket full of salads.
Itās a beautiful salad with red, orange and green fruits.
Isnāt it beautiful and delicious?
Yeah.
Iām looking forward to eating it.
When I left the store, I walked out towards the inn.
āLetās go this way.ā
I nodded to my dad, pointing to the road turning left on the main street.
I donāt know the road yet, so Iād better leave it to you.
This street seems to have a lot of tools and clothes for adventurers.
āOh, I see.ā In other words, it seems that there are more adventurer stores than when you came before. ā
Adventurerās shoes and bags in the armor store.
Thereās a weapons dealer!
Ah, thereās even a magic item store.
Too bad I canāt watch slowly.
If you get tired, letās take a slow look around.
