Chapter Ninety-Eight: Preparing for the Appointment

It is a well-regarded shop among the local alchemists of Rixel. After Miss Ghost returned to the store from the warehouse with my shopping list, the stored goods were fully sufficient for all the materials that needed to be purchased.

As a result, I decided to take the carriage back to the hotel as soon as possible.

At the entrance of the shopping street and Paul, who had turned his excellent mobility into a character image, went to the adventurer's guild to complete his errands, and seemed to have been waiting for a while at the agreed place to meet up, we decisively left the city of Lixel.

As for now-

"I have something to say to you...... Where's Shu? Forget it, Alice, do you have anything to say to me?"

When I got back to the hotel, I stopped Paul, who was about to say something, and asked.

After pushing open the door, Nia with a tired face sat on a chair on the balcony, and on the sofa was a loli who seemed to have been back to the hotel for a while, and was now wearing a bathrobe and eating snacks with peace of mind.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Uncle Bone, what's wrong with you? I always speak unclearly, of course not. ”

Alice tilted her head to express her confusion at my question.

Still loading.

"It's nothing, I just have some bad premonitions, I want to ask you guys if you didn't get into any trouble, right? Especially Alice, you didn't take the opportunity to cause any trouble, did you? ”

Hearing me ask, the werewolf Lori was stunned, and then trembled as if she thought of it.

"Begging, annoying, hehe. Uncle Bone, what do you think of Alice, of course no, no. Really, you're too suspicious of me. Alice is a very sensible werewolf. ”

With an ugly expression, he twisted his head to the side and answered vague but definitely questionable answers.

Definitely there is a problem!

Seeing that I had been staring at her, although I was already in a cold sweat, the werewolf Lori still calmed down and ignored my gaze. When the sun was shining outside the window, she still walked to the stove to add firewood while saying [so cold, so cold].

Hehe, her psychological quality is really amazing, she doesn't look like a flower girl.

"Tell me the truth―――――!"

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, Uncle Bone! I said, I said it! Uncle Bone, listen to me...... There's no way, what Uncle Spandam said makes a lot of sense, Uncle Bone, why did you secretly buy such a high-end wine when you can't eat! Moreover, Alice just helped Uncle Spandam find the bottle of wine and hide it under your bed, I didn't steal it, and I didn't do anything else!"

"What the hell are you talking about to change the subject, you know that's not what I'm talking about!"

I twisted Alice's cheek and said this, and she cried and said something irrelevant.

Damn, it seems that she still refuses to give in, and it seems that she has to be taught a good lesson......

"Wait!What are you talking about!?Hey, what are you kidding, that's the high-end goods I have to celebrate my reincarnation!!!What the hell did you do with that kid!?"

Hearing me say this, Alice, who was still struggling just now, suddenly fell silent, twisted her head to the side and didn't dare to look at me.

Just scratching his cheek with a regretful expression.

It is said that only a few hundred bottles fall to the ground every year, and it is known that it can fly with a sip, and even in the black market of White Oak Town, it costs thousands of gold coins to buy fine wine......

But now, the bottle fell into the hands of Spandham, that is.

"Ahh

"Calm down, calm down a little. Now is not the time for Lord Esherin to care about that, in fact, his subordinates have a private wine cellar on the Patrick Continent, and if you have the opportunity, you will compensate you on behalf of Master Spendham. ”

Paul quickly grabbed me in the ribs and stopped me from losing my mind.

…… It's really hard for him.

No, Paul is right, it does digress, and now is not the time to dwell on such things.

"Let me go, Paul. I've pretty much calmed down...... No, I really want to fight with Spandam. There is no way to solve this problem now, but we will definitely settle accounts with him in the future!"

Although I said that, I still couldn't calm down, and I really wanted to find someone to anal it.

"No, I can't. I need to calm down, I'll talk about that later. Eh, where did Ah Shu go?"

"Gray, gray and green scare sister street to ......"

"No, it hurts so much that you don't speak. Although there are some things I am wrong with losing my temper with a child like Alice, I apologize for this in advance. Don't talk if your face is swollen, Nia you say. ”

Alice, who had been taught a lesson, grinned and covered her pinched red cheeks, saying words she couldn't understand.

So I asked Niya, who might know about Ashu's movements.

"That, that. Shortly before your return, the beautiful sister named Felicia said that she was going to the hot springs. And then there's ...... Sir Ashoin, can you tell me where Brother Soquette has gone?"

Ah Shu, this guy......

The front foot just released a terrifying magic arson in the shopping street, and the back foot ran back to the hotel to relax in the hot springs, even if he was used to seeing the big scene, it was too calm.

"Sokite is fine, but there are still some things that I can't leave for the time being. Anyway, let's discuss it when Ah Shu comes back. ”

"Oh, yes, Your Excellency Ashin. Brother Soquette is fine. ”

Hearing me say this, Nia smiled reassuringly, and sat back in her chair with a long sigh of relief.

But it's in the bath......

And if the front foot is only out of the house, it is estimated that it will be a long time for her to come back. Although this may not be appropriate for me with the same attributes, Ah Shu is also the kind of person who can spend an entire afternoon on a hot spring.

Maybe it's just right, but I just need time to calm down anyway.

"No way, although I don't think it's necessary, there are still a lot of things that need to be told to Ah Shu. Because it's too much trouble to say it again, so just wait. It just so happens that I have something to go out, Paul, you take care of them, don't get into any trouble. ”

"Okay, Lord Ashin, does what you're going to do have anything to do with the magic path you made in the carriage?"

Probably very tired from holding it, Paul's head jumped on the table to show that he understood, and then asked with some curiosity.

It's nice to have a helper who is very capable in every way......

"If there is a point to say whether it has anything to do with it or not. Well, sort of, I wanted to do it myself...... But we've been running out of our operational budget due to the recent spending, so I can't help it, maybe I'll be able to get some money to cover it. ”

"That's really, that magical magic item is going to be a best-selling item. ”

I replied to Paul, who had a curious expression, as I changed into the overalls I had bought from the Thieves' Guild and prepared to head out.
