Ore wa Mada, Honki o Dashite Inai

At sunny noon, I dressed as the "prodigal lord" and rolled out to the city.

"Ah, lord. Hello."

"Master Hermes, stop by our store."

"Hey, Hermes, have a drink today."

Hanging around appropriately, I get a lot of voices from people.

The majority were favorable.

Most of them are decent residents, but some of them are relaxed, and those people talk to each other intimately.

Hanging around appropriately that way, it caught my eye that a shop was so queued up.

I wondered what it was, approached me, and spoke to the rear-end man in line.

"Hey, what queue is this?

"Ahem? Isn't that Hermes? Don't you know this?"

"That's why I'm asking."

"It's mayonnaise, mayonnaise"

"Ma'am?

The sound of the first word I hear makes me snap my neck.

That's the first word I've ever heard, I can't imagine what that is at all.

"What are you doing?

"It's food. It's been a legend for hundreds of years."

"Legend for hundreds of years?

"Oh. I've only ever known how much oil to use, but it seems my neighbor, the Demon King, got in a good mood recently and opened the ruins of the Demon King's Land to adventurers, so I found the recipe from there."

"The Demon King."

You mean Kaori.

Is that a recipe found from a relic that Kaori managed for hundreds of years?

That... sounds amazing.

"Whatever it is, it looks like it was originally brought in by people from different worlds."

"Different worlds are too much to talk about, right?

I grinned.

I don't believe in recipes from different worlds from time to time, but if there's a caoli involved, I'm a little concerned.

I moved on with Zunzun.

At the very front of the line, I come to the store and interrupt.

Hey, what are you doing?

"Sorry, just let me buy it first"

"What? - It's not Hermes."

The woman at the beginning of the line looked at me, pointing her lips, but said nothing more.

I don't care about the line interruptions, but this is just the right reason for doing the prodigal hero.

I asked the shop people at the beginning of the interrupted line.

"Uh, no, please."

"Lord, because of this, will you try it?

"Tasting, right, give it a try"

"Yes, go ahead"

That's how the store people put something white creamy on top of the bright, possibly freshly moulded cucumber and offered it to me.

Because cucumbers are cucumbers.

"How about this white one?

"That's right, eat and see"

"Yeah, I'll have it...... it's good!

The mayonnaise cucumber spread its flavor the moment it was placed in my mouth.

Sweet, slightly sour, intense and creamy.

"This is good!

"It's not just cucumbers, it's all kinds of things."

"I guess. This could be noodles or fried chicken, or, oh, you might want to just eat this rice and see it."

"Oops, Lord knows (,). Some people are called mayors these days, and they say the best is the combination of rice and mayonnaise."

"Yeah. Wrap this up, about ten servings"

"Every time."

I got it in a paper bag, I got the bottled mayonnaise in exchange for the money, and I left the store behind.

I have to thank Kaori for this delicious food later.

Hang around the city holding mayonnaise full of paper bags.

It was so delicious, I opened the lid of the bottle and licked it with my fingers one chopit at a time.

But don't find anything from the ruins lately.

I found some baking a little while ago.

I'm starting to wonder about the ruins.

"There is only one relic in the Canoe family."

After I got home, I somehow waved to my sister about the "ruins" and she returned such an answer.

"I do, ruins."

"Yes."

"Where is it?

"Where Hermes has been, too."

"Me too...?

Well, you've never been to a ruin.

"The Cave of Trials, the first generation."

"Is that it..."

Well, that's certainly a ruin, too, when it comes to ruins.

"... is that something you can come in there?

"Normally, I'm off-limits, but Hermes is the one, so nobody can stop me."

"Hmm."

That cave of trials, huh?

Anyway, I messed it up during the trial before, and things won't get any worse than that.

I decided to go to the ruins.

The next day, I headed to the Cave of Trials alone.

My sister wanted to follow me, but she did the right thing and rolled into the smoke.

Things wouldn't get any worse than that - but I still thought it was easier to go alone.

I go alone down the road I've been through before and come to the cave of trials.

Well, I was wondering if the treasure is asleep here.

I went into a cave.

By the way, all the coins from the trials go through, and I don't even touch them.

Touch me badly, and if something goes wrong, I can't even see it.

That's right, I went into a cave - then.

shah.

The sword of my ancestors I received from the king and always lay on my hips.

I got a hippo to belt, made a noise and peed on the ground.

"Whoa, why don't you"

I bent over and tried to pick it up - but.

The sword slipped across the sheath, away from me.

And one woman emerged from the ground.

Her whole body is translucent, a ghostly woman.

It's characterized by dark, long hair, kind of like I've seen somewhere.

The woman put her hands together and stared at my sword for a while.

"That's familiar."

"Huh?"

'... Huh. Let's hear it.'

The woman grinned and grinned, putting her hands together even more.

Between me and the woman, two swords came up.

"Did you drop this sword of light, or this sword of darkness?"

"Neither, but you're there. I dropped that worn sword."

"You're an honest man."

The woman laughed joyfully.

"No, the honest ones, nothing."

"In reward, I will dwell these two swings in my sword"

"Huh?"

Shortly afterwards, both the sword of light and the sword of darkness were sucked into my sword.

After it blended in completely, the woman gave me my sword back.

"Bye."

"Wait a minute -"

She reaches out and tries to stop, but the woman disappears.

I left only my sword.

I feel like I'm stuck in a fox, but I almost pull my sword out of my sheath...

"Wow..."

And he spoke softly.

It was a borough sword. It saw a black light the moment it was pulled out - a body that emitted a dark light.

Pull it out completely and try to shake it gently.

Cave walls, rock walls cut like tofu.

"This... is definitely the guy to be misunderstood. You know, coming home empowered in a cave of trials."

"I knew Hermes would be amazing when he meant it."

I couldn't help but sigh when I heard my sister's words.
