The next day, I consulted with Mr. Zeor on the bridge of the carriage bound for Ibru about the Goblin Lair.

"It's not a cave, there's a separate exit where you've built a nest in a troublesome place."

"Just plug the exit above and the cracks in the rocks"

"With such a hand, there is no need to worry, there should be no problem in the autumn when it is put in the raid area."

"Are you going to destroy the goblin and kobold's lair again this year?"

"Of course.

If the crusade is not completed in the autumn and the village is attacked after the snow, the situation will be difficult to deal with.

"If the snow makes our footing worse, we're at a disadvantage.

"Then when I come back from Ibro, I'll go to the mountains to explore. Walking around the mountain while looking for a nest is too much of a waste of physical strength. ”

"yes, well, we'll negotiate with the village chief and give us some money every time we find a nest. If we knew the location of the nest and the approximate size of the herd, it would be much easier for us to prepare. ””。

"Okay, I'll get back to you as soon as I get back."

"Even so, I'm glad that Hua Wuming made us a parasol. In this weather, both the horse and we are sun-dried. ”

The cloth that Mr. Zeor had prepared was an old carriage cloth, unfolded so large that it could cover not only the coachman's space, but also the horses.

"I only think about ourselves, but it's amazing to think of horses."

"That's because you're using magic to support it. Even if you search the whole country, you won't find anyone who can do this kind of trick. "

Summer has passed, autumn has begun, but the sun is strong and the temperature is so high that you want to hide in the shade during the day.

Just lay out a cloth to block out direct sunlight and the comfort will make a big difference.

"Horses also sweat.

"I'm tired of sitting there. Doesn't it cool down soon? ”

"Because cat lovers wear their fur, it's nice to warm up in winter."

"I don't know. Well, after a while it will grow back to winter hair, but what is cold is cold. ”

"It is said that winter is the season for cat people."

"No, it's just a heating appliance, isn't it?"

"Whew, huh, okay."

Due to the shadows created by the hood cloth, the wear and tear on the horses seems to have been greatly reduced.

Along the way, the horses pulling the carts we passed were sweating profusely, their bodies were white, and their breathing was heavy.

Mr. Zeor even created shade for the horses, but he did not force them to rest and drink often.

If the horse can't move, the carriage will get stuck in the road, and the chance of being attacked by monsters will increase.

"Horses and people who drive along the road share a common fate."

"If you rest a lot, don't you feel like you need extra time?" Indeed, the break is long. Not only hasn't much changed, but it's going to happen soon. Also, a person's level of fatigue can vary greatly from day to day. Cumulatively, the number of years of a horse-drawn cart can vary greatly. ”

I think Mr. Zeor is absolutely right, but it seems difficult to implement.

When they reached the wooden platform, the horses that had been wagoning from Azkala for half a day seemed to have much strength left.

We left Mutai before noon, but the temperature rose very high, and there was a hot mist on the road, probably blowing from the south wind.

This unusually hot weather may be the so-called foehn phenomenon.

"Cut, this can't be said to be vexatious."

"Mr. Zeor, do you want me to sprinkle some water?"

"Haha, I'll go there and get some water to sprinkle."

"Of course it's a magic item."

I decided to show Mr. Zeor, who was puzzled, the props of the water magic array that I had learned this summer.

"Well, then, let's go take a shower."

The two horses pulling the carriage seem to have two sprinklers installed in the air, and a thin stream of water pours down.

"Hehe, Hua Wuming. What's going on! ”

"It seems that if you use celestial attribute magic to solidify the air into a magic array, the magic essence contained in it will activate the marking magic."

"What, can you use any other carving magic?"

"Yes, I'm still practicing, but I can use the fire-type magic array and the light-type magic array."

"Hahaha

The magic array I am activating now is covered with a lid that uses celestial magic to open small holes, and it will spew out a splash of water.

"I've been making improvements this summer so that I can take a comfortable shower."

"Hua Wuming, can you throw it earlier?"

"yes, it seems cooler."

The heat softened a little by adding more nozzles and spraying water about 10 meters in front of the car.

Also, I bathed the horses along the way, so they were able to reach Ibro safely without getting tired.

In the middle of the road, there were people resting their horses in the shade of trees, and the guards at the entrance of the city were a little surprised.

"Are you still running on such a hot day?"

"Otherwise I wouldn't be here."

"Yes, but he's a very difficult horse to deal with."

"Hahahaha, the coachman's craftsmanship is good."

"Hahahaha, that's it, you can go."

"You'd never think I'd come with a parasol and water."

"Mr. Zeor, after leaving the carriage at the hotel, I want to go somewhere."

"Oh, is it your usual pocket money?"

"yes, if you don't go early, the freshness will decrease"

"Fresh?"

Perhaps it was because the word "fresh" caught my attention that Zeor came with me.

"Where are you going?"

"Let's go, let's go to the restaurant."

"A restaurant...?"

The store manager who bought Pronn mushrooms at the departure ceremony still remembers me.

"Oh, did you get anything good again that time?"

"yes, there are four of them today"

"Do you want to see it? The things you brought with you were very popular before, and this time it's also very exciting. ”

When the store manager opened the basket to show the Prohn mushrooms inside, his eyes lit up.

"What do you think?"

"yes, I'll take them all, how about four gold coins?"

"Yes, thank you"

When the manager returned to the store to collect the money, Mr. Zeor patted him on the back.

"This guy surprised me, Hua Wuming. It's not a question of pocket money. ”

"It hurts, Mr. Zeor."

"That's all you can eat, isn't it?"

"I think it's difficult because it doesn't always grow."

"Is that so..."

After receiving the manager's money, I thanked him and left the restaurant.

"Still, they prospered because the cloned mushrooms they bought were worth one gold coin."

"Hua Wuming, come with me next time to do something."

"Yes, no problem. Where are you going? ”

"Come with me."

The place where Zeor took me was the wet market.

There are a variety of shops for meat, fish, vegetables, cereals, dried goods, kitchen knives, cooking utensils, and more.

In the imperial capital, it's like Amiyokocho in Ueno or the roadside market in Tsukiji.

There were all kinds of smells, but I couldn't tell what it was.

The corner where Zeor came was a place lined with spice shops, and the smell was even stronger.

"I expected that, but they must have come to buy tea."

"This is Hua Wuming. This is the best tea shop in the market. ”

More than half of Mr. Zeor's words fell out of my ears because of the smell in my nose.

The small shop next door sells coffee beans.

"Mr. Zeor, I'm looking at the shop next door, so please let me know when you leave."

"I see..."

In the shop that sells coffee beans sits a raccoon dog girl in her forties.

"She's wearing a national costume that you can't see here."

"Welcome, lad, how's it going? Smells good, right? This is a type of bean called calf. Roast it, grind it into a powder and cook it in hot water. ”

"I don't see you often."

"yes, Ichiro was the first to start using it a year ago, right?

My brain was occupied by the scent of coffee that I smelled for the first time since I was reincarnated.

I thought that rare items were very expensive, but when I asked about the price, it was surprisingly not expensive.

"Which is less sour?"

"Hey, lad, have you ever had a calf?"

"I just heard about it, too."

"Then this Calzi Frera is good, not sour, with a strong aroma."

"Well..."

"Okay"

"In the end, I couldn't take it anymore, so I bought it." I'll go buy some sugar later.

Mr. Zeor seemed to have bought some good tea and left the market with a happy face.
