15-3 Part 1
Let's Do a Food Tour in Naglfar with
the Country Girl and the Admiral
Translator : PolterGlast
Having a carriage
arranged from Erin, we arrived at the southern part of Naglfar
Port just past noon. On the street right after getting off the carriage, I
first bought dried scallops and imported fruits, and turned back to the two.
「Let's
have seafood paella at that shop for lunch. Kachua and Aneue's
bento will be a snack on the ship.」
「Ah,
right... You're having a snack right before lunch...」
「As
expected of your gluttony... But the paella there was delicious, so I agree
with that too!」
When Carral
picked up a scallop, Kachua also hesitantly brought one to her mouth. It
seems she liked it. She immediately wanted another, so I pressed the whole bag
onto Kachua.
「Wow...
munch munch... Waaah...」
To Kachua,
who was raised in the mountains, everything she saw was fresh, and she quickly
entered the country-bumpkin-in-the-city mode she had shown in Ratatosk.
Since she was about to bump into people again, I looked after her, and for some
reason, Carral was laughing.
「Ah,
you two can eat the fruits. I ate them to the point of getting sick of them in
the south, so I don't really want the ones here that much.」
「I see,
that's quite a luxurious story.」
Instead, she dashed off toward a salt-grilled fish food
stall. She quickly secured one, and joined us while delightfully biting into
the grilled Iwan Fish.
「Is
that okay? I'd think you'd be tired of eating that too.」
「No,
the fish in the south don't have much fat on them, so the fish here are
exceptional. Mumble mumble...」
「...Looks
delicious. Give me a little.」
「Eh.
...Y-Yeah, well it's fine but... here...」
「You
don't have to offer it looking so reluctant. Nn, it's delicious.」
「No,
I'm not reluctant... Haa...」
「I
understand. Because Shinza is this kind of guy. You just have to give up
on this part of him...」
They were colluding
with each other as women again, complaining about things I didn't understand.
My bad. I don't understand those things unless you explain them to me. While
aiming for the restaurant from before, I bought sake-steamed bivalves and
shared them with the two.
◆ ◇ ◆
「Ah.
Isn't that the person from that time...?」
「That
time... Ooh, the metal engraver from that time, huh.」
Bazaars were crowded
on the street, and among them was a shop displaying dazzling ornaments. Carral
stopped in front of it and showed us the brass ring on her right finger. ...Nn,
strange.
「Why
hasn't that ring been ruined by the sea breeze...?」
「Yeah,
it actually started to rust, so I had it gold-plated.」
「Ah,
could that be a present from Shinza...?」
It is far more
rational than wearing heavy rings of pure gold, like the Empress of this
country.
「Right!
Isn't it nice~!」
「That's
nice... I'm honestly a little jealous...」
「Right!
Shinza, buy something for Kachua too!」
「Eh,
no, I (Ore), didn't say it with that intention...!? Besides, it wouldn't
suit me so it's fine...」
「Kachua
says she doesn't need it.」
「You
shouldn't take words at face value, Shinza. Especially girls, they
aren't honest. Come on, anything is fine, Shinza, chooses and
gives it as a present!」
「No,
but, I (Ore), this kind of...」
The metal engraver
was looking up at us with expectation. Well, my wallet has gotten thicker than
in the past. It should be fine to be a little more extravagant. So I picked up
a silver necklace. It was finely made down to the chain, making me feel the
artisan's work.
「Give
me this.」
「That'll
be 70 Crowns.」
「Quite
expensive.」
「We
don't mix in zinc or lead, so it's a fair price.」
I paid the money and
received the necklace. I put it around Kachua's neck and fastened it for
her.
「I-Is
it okay...?」
「Yeah,
with this, you can wear it under your clothes. It should be good for a shy
person like Kachua.」
「Hehe...
If you're giving it to me, I guess it can't be helped... Thank you, Shinza!
And, thank you too, Carral!」
「It's
fine, it's fine, Shinza is the one who paid. I'm actually completely
alone in the world now, so Kachua has gradually started to look like a
little sister to me.」
Did she actually
want me to buy it for her... I don't understand a woman's heart... No, maybe
I'm just too clumsy.
「Then
from now on, maybe I'll call you Carral-anesan...」
「Eh, I
don't want that. It sounds close to Ane-san...」
「Then, Onee-chan...?」
「That...
that might be acceptable! Atomina-sama would probably be jealous,
though, ahaha.」
Even though I was
the one who gave the necklace as a present, it feels like Carral is
taking all the good parts... Is it my imagination? At any rate, I'm hungry.
Just a snack level like this isn't enough.
「Let's
go to the restaurant quickly. I'm hungry.」
When I conveyed that, the two ran off while laughing. I seriously don't understand the reason why they suddenly laughed at me... Will I come to understand after another 10 years pass? I thought it would be impossible for me.
