122 Episode 120: The Taste Of Nostalgia
The next day.
Workshop in the attic.
I had the magic prop I was asking for from Harya the Fairy.
"This way -. I made that black card bigger."
It was the black board that was given to me. Thirty centimeters vertical and twenty centimeters horizontal. The surface is shiny.
I don't remember asking for this.
"What is this?
"It's troublesome to manually move the name tag one way or the other every time I use the door, so the first thing I did was when someone registered for a brave party used the fairy door, I automatically made sure to keep an in-out as a record ~. Pooh."
On the surface of the black board, the letters float. The door to where to go was filled in who passed at what time of the month.
"What is this! There's a log of everyone! - If you scrutinize it in my memory, the record is correct... Migna is using it unexpectedly. Kaika Harbor and Wangdu are finely returned to the mansion. Move ingredients or help cook. I knew Luna was going to Dollar Earth in the morning, noon and evening. Are you taking advantage of your break to participate in a duel?"
I nodded Hmm as I looked at the record.
"The record date and time will be fairy world standard time, so please refer to the reference level ~"
"Still don't help. I know how many minutes I stayed, whether I went back or not."
"I'll leave you in front of the fairy door of the mansion and in the basement of the fairy world"
"Do you have two, it helps"
"And then I got a pump and a pipe, an order void bracelet"
"Ooh. That's Harya. Fast work."
"What do you do with this pump?
"Of course I use it for hot springs! Build a hot spring inn in the village and call people! There's also a hospital, so you can call Yuji!
Harya flashed her face.
"It's rural here, so there could be damage to crops - It's tough when you're in the waterway for it, and it's dangerous if you pour it into groundwater. Hot springs have complex components and it is difficult to create machines to disable them."
"It's okay, I can handle it!
"If Kaika says so...... Is there anything else you can do?
Harya snapped her neck cutely.
"And then, yeah...... Yeah, well, keep the branches of the world tree soaked in oil as a burning weapon. Maybe Grandpa Heml would be nice."
"Right. Weapons are out of range. I'll make it while I help ~"
- I made it one day, isn't the intercontinental ballistic love letter delivery machine a weapon?
I'm not convinced.
"And I hope there's a map of the world. A precise map of the photographs taken from the sky."
"Yes. Doroya Ultra-High Altitude Strategy Bushi - I will modify the bouquet presenter ~ Ru"
"Now you, you tried to call me a bomber!? I just said weapons are out of range, right?!? You can't fool me if I make you cute!
"Oh no, Mr. Kaika. There's no way a fairy can make such a dangerous thing
"Hmm. What have you made these days?
As soon as I asked, there was redness on Harya's face.
In a lit way, scratch your head with short hands. The triangle hat swayed every bit.
"eheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheh. Please don't explode, okay?
"How much of an explosive weapon did you make just to ask?"
"Uh - I made her."
Harya answered proudly somewhere, even though her face turned bright red.
"Ah, that girl at the banquet"
The same little fairy girl we were drinking with at the banquet. He said "cool" about Harya, remembering she had long dark hair with four heads. My crushed eyes were adorable.
Harya speaks with a dreamy smile.
"That's right ~. You told me you were cool with me like this... so I got one hair, and I trained it with culture -"
"Wait! How can that be! I would normally have had you as a lover if I'd said, 'I like you, go out with me' or 'I like you, let's live together'!
"Eh, heh, heh! Is a lover something to get you to be someone alive!?
"No, this guy. It's too late - you've never succeeded in helping love before."
"Hauuuuuuuu"
Harya drops her shoulders soggy.
I feel sorry for you, so I'll cheer you up.
"There must still be a pulse. You can even make cute accessories and give them away - Harya likes the other girl, doesn't she?
"Yes... no, I don't know... my chest sometimes when I'm with you, but I like it, is it...?
"From there first? It's okay, I like the condition. When you think about that girl, your chest's gonna cum, right? I want to be next door, I want to hold hands..."
"- You want to remodel it to a multileg?"
"You shut up already. Stay alone in this workshop for the rest of your life."
"Yeah, I don't know! I miss one -!
"Shira"
I just left the workshop, ignoring Harya, who's still flirting.
Talking was going to drive me crazy all the way over here.
Then Megna contacted me through the amulet.
I hear you've reached the border village.
Headed for the outer ship.
The outer ship retraced the river and reached the village of Sumu, the surviving people.
Except for the attack on Naga and the Birdbeast Man along the way, things went well.
The outer ship is God's ship, so trust max from the beginning.
The Kaika Harbor tribe's mouth is full, and the decision to migrate has been made somewhat.
There was no problem. But there was a problem.
I was looking at the village fields. The grass dripping with the ears is growing.
"Love... so... eh!
The guide villager answers.
"It's hard to make. But I can take a lot."
"Wow, this is... no, but how about the breed?
"God, do you want some?
"Eat!"
As soon as I returned to the village, a meal was served.
Served with porridge. White porridge in a wooden jar.
I was disappointed that the rice grain was elongated when I saw it, but when I ate it, it was dusty and close to Japanese rice.
"Yum! Now I want some rice balls! I baked it with miso!
- Rice and miso are the hearts of Japan!
For the first time in decades, I remember a long time ago.
When I was falling down to the Taoist god, rumors spread that offering a grilled rice balls with miso would eliminate my ankle pain when I went away, and my neighbor's grandmother offered it well.
Age-deteriorating ankles can't be cured by God, but if you keep chanting "healing," going away will reduce your pain.
I wanted to go to my son's wedding, I wanted to see the face of my grandson living far away, and it was something I fulfilled while eating such a wish grilled rice balls.
When Grandma and Grandpa died, no one took care of Taoist gods anymore. Back in the bubble from high economic growth?
"I miss you...... oh, but right. Maybe it was..."
My hand stopped eating porridge.
I noticed a mistake now.
I'm healed, so respect me more! and I was arrogant at the time.
But it wasn't.
The real thing to heal as a god wasn't your ankles.
I thought the cure was a family relationship...?
I could have hurt my ankles if I could see my grandson's face at any time.
I guess so. I didn't realize it then.
I guess that's why I fell to 0 believers.
It's too late now. So now you just have to make no mistake of the same.
I shrugged my porridge with a spoon again, caught in the stinging thoughts.
Eat to taste. White porridge with only a salty taste.
Celica beside me is surprised.
"Is it that good...?
"No, I was just remembering the old days"
"Really... was it a good memory?
"Not really, but it's a good lesson now"
"That's good."
Celica narrowed her eyes and smiled, carrying the porridge to her mouth.
Mea says by moving the cat in a pimple.
"What's a rice balls?
"Cook this rice, - like this, grip it in a triangle. And cook with miso."
"Okay. I'll try tonight."
I just showed him the trick of making rice balls, and he already understood.
That's Mea.
I kept eating porridge thinking.
I feel alive when I eat rice.
No, not exactly.
It's because Celica will be lying down. It's because Megna believes me. Because Lapisia admires me.
Because many of the people I meet trust and expect me to.
I could get to this porridge.
Is that why I felt alive when I ate it?
I mean, it's only when people love and respect me that I realize I'm alive.
Reason? Because I'm sure I'm God.
