Ore wa Mada, Honki o Dashite Inai

.161

The next day, I wandered the streets of Pindos.

As always, the city is full of vibrancy, and just walking is a lot of fun.

"Whoa?"

Suddenly, I saw a long queue ahead.

There are nearly 50 people in the line of sight.

Moreover, 90% of them are young girls.

I was wondering why it was lined up.

I went through the procession and headed for the shop at the head.

"What kind of shop is this?"

Ah, my lord.

The shopkeeper noticed me, stopped his hand and turned to me.

"You don't have to stop your hand."More than that, what is this? It's very popular, isn't it? "

I glanced at the long queue.

Then, the shopkeeper answered with a troubled smile that was "too lucrative and too troublesome".

Lord, don't you know? It's a popular tapioca these days. "

“Was it Pioka?

Yes! The recipe I found from the ancient ruins has been a big hit since the previous burning.

Huh?

I was a little intrigued.

Dorayaki was popular just when I became a lord.

By the way, it was made from a recipe discovered from an ancient ruin.

The baked doraemon was quite good.

If it's the same as that... this "Tapioka" is very interesting.

"I wonder... how about full?"

That's what I said, and as I moved to line up at the end of the line, I heard the full voice that had been silently following me all along.

While hanging around the city, Furu has been silently following behind him.

How about that?

While following me to the end of the row, I leaned my head back with a completely unchanged expression.

Do you want a full meal too?

"I don't need to eat, Master."

But you can do it, right?

While saying that, I glanced at the shop and the girls lining up.

Everyone looks excited and enjoys it.

I still don't know what it's like to tingle, but it must be a kind of dessert that girls like to see this look.

That's why I asked Full.

"No need, Master."

Hmm, I see.

If that's what Full is, then I backed down.

It is not necessary to recommend it until it is impossible, even if the person himself says it is OK.

I took the full one and turned to the rear-that's when.

"Ah......"

"Sofia..."

"--Oh!"

When she saw my face, Sophia changed her blood and tried to escape.

I quickly grabbed Sophia's hand.

"Let go of me!"

"No, you were going to line up."

"W-Well, that's..."

Let's get in line.

"Ugh..."

Sophia groaned and stared at me with a grudge.

She woke up for a while.

Sophia sighed as if she had eventually conceived of it, as she was seen in the eyes of the other guests around her.

"I get it..."

That's how I showed him the shavings in line.

So I let go of my hand, and we lined up.

By the way, the full followed immediately behind, and lined up in the same way.

Suggest little by little in a row.

Speak to Sophia as she watches the girls around her in the same row.

You liked it this way, didn't you?

Huh?

Until then, Sophia, who was nervous, raised her face.

She was surprised and said, "What are you asking?"That's the face I keep saying."

I caught a glimpse of the procession, and Sophia followed my gaze and saw the line.

Sophia was flustered when she saw a lot of girls freaking out.

Then, my surprised expression changed and turned bright red as if it was embarrassing.

"Oh, no! That's not true!"

No?

"Yes! This is--that's right, research."

"Research?"

I tilted my neck.

The row went one more step forward, with Sophia (and Furu).

"Yes, it's a study of ancient ruins."

"What do you mean?"

Things that have been fashionable for a while, such as dorayaki and bloomers, were all discovered from ancient ruins.

Yeah, I've heard of all of them.

"It's a strange thing, all of them.Usually, when you hear that it was excavated from an ancient ruin, what does Hermes imagine? ”

"That's..."

I thought about it a little bit, and then I answered.

Lost magic, legendary weapons, etc.

"That's right, it's all these things, but not these days."Dorayaki is just flour and anko, and bloomers are just cloth. "

"... um"

"So is this tapioca."The ingredients are so familiar that no one can find a way to make them. It's like- ”

Like?

"As if the whole world was under a seal."

……

I frowned.

Sophia said something a little bit suddenly, but it was something "I don't even know".

In particular, Sophia has long been a scholar, and she has studied hard mainly magic in order to become the first in the Despina sequence.

Judging by that knowledge, it is not something that can be rejected unless it is absolutely impossible.

- Until a little while ago.

I'm not who I used to be.

With a full hand, I could see things that would not normally be slashed.

Gaze slightly at Sophia.

Her "emotions" seemed to dampen the excitement.

Having seen it, I knew that what Sophia said was an excuse for surpassing it.

I felt smiling.

I was embarrassed to see the place lined up in the popular tapioca, and I tried to make up a story like that and roll it up in the smoke.

I smiled at Sophia who did it, and I felt cute.

I talked to Sophia and stood in line.

The line of about 50 people was judged smoothly in about 30 minutes, and it was our turn.

I go back to the front of the store and face the store owner.

"Um, I don't know about that, but for three people, please?"

"Yes! Please wait a moment."

The shopkeeper prepared Tequila and Tapioca for me.

In a small, single-use cup, place a serving of tapioca on top of the honey.

The honey on top of the tapioca curled the thread, reflecting the sunshine and glittering.

I see. It looks good. Now, what's the taste?

Yes, I'll take two cups and hand one over to Sophia.

And then the other thing was to be full.

Muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

The cup was pulling the thread again.

I thought that the way to put honey on was cluttered, and I pulled it off with my fingers.

Moments.

- Pompous!!

As if a thunderbolt had thrown in the sky, the sound of something breaking stuck around.

What, what?

I was surprised.

I just took the thread that the honey was pulling, and what is this sound?

That's right, Master.

Huh? What?

Turn toward Full.

She had a praise and admiration on her usual poor expression.

"There was a seal on that thing."

"Sealed?" or something? What are you talking about? "

"Ahhh!!"

Wondering, I heard the shopkeeper shouting from behind.

What's the matter?

"Wait a minute!" Ladies and gentlemen, please wait!! "

The shopkeeper said that to the people who were still in the line, and threw out the store and ran somewhere.

Somehow, the shopkeeper came back in a fraction of the way as the customers lined up in a row.

I got back on the wheelbarrow.

"What the hell is that?"

"Just in time, my lord!" I just came up with it, please taste it! "

The shopkeeper said that and poured the contents into the glass.

Then I put tapioca in there and sent it to me.

Make the same and give it to Sophia.

"Is this... milktie?"

I tried to smell it. It was a smell I remember.

The shopkeeper quickly prepared milk tea and put tapioca in it.

... why?

And soon I will be wondering.

Tasty!

Sophia, who took a sip of tapioca milk tea beside me, was amazed.

Starting with that, the shopkeeper sold tapioca milk tea instead of honey.

The young girls in the line had no doubts - on the contrary, they bought tapioca milk tea with more enthusiasm than before.

"This is... what the hell..."

"I thought it was because the master broke the seal that bound it."

"Full!? What? The seal... is that?"Did it really happen? "

Yes, that's right, Master.

I was exhausted.

Inadvertently, it seemed to revive tapioca milk tea, which was very popular a few hundred years ago but had somehow been forgotten.
