019_Octopus can be eaten

The intended merchant hall was on the corner close to the port's loading yard.

A large international trading mall in a line of perfectly stuck buildings like a long house.

When I knocked on the door and said, "I have a business meeting," I went inside and saw the receptionist frown when a troubled guest arrived.

"Who are you? You're not a merchant."

Since you two don't look like merchants, I didn't think you were a guest.

He doesn't intend to show respect to anyone who isn't a guest.

It feels like you've broken into a general customer refusal inquiry.

I also have a loving inquirer who retails.

"I came to buy sugar"

Elizabeth deliberately did not answer the question and told him what to do so that he could not beat the man at the reception.

"We don't do retail. Get the hell out of here."

"I need good quality sugar."

Eat where they pay you in advance.

Although sugar had appeared as a common condiment in this world, there were terrible differences in quality such as mixing a lot of impurities depending on the object.

One of the new dishes to serve in the bazaar really needed sugar that was pure and not as colored as possible.

So I visited the Chamber of Commerce knowing I couldn't.

If you really don't want to sell me, give me the name of the Duke of Fontini house. But I don't want to use it if possible.

"I don't know, I don't. Buy open-air sugar. Hey, somebody come..."

Call the guards, the receptionist who tried to stumble on the two stop the move.

Behind Elizabeth, it was because Leonid deliberately placed the package with Don.

…………

He stares at the counter with his usual unfathomable face.

A man shuddered all the time.

"Can you sell me some fine sugar?

"Yes, no... that's..."

One more push.

Elizabeth sends a signal to Leonid with her back hand.

…………

Now Leonid walks in with Dundan and stands behind Elizabeth.

Now he shouted "hi no," and the man was frightened.

"So? Can you sell it?

Here Elizabeth had the chilling smile of a good villain's maid.

Objectively, obviously, a pair of bad guys.

"Wow, okay. I'm sorry about every mess. You can buy that gut and sell it to him if it's just sugar specifically. How much do you need?"

The receptionist opened his hands and broke.

I suppose you thought there might be quite a few people or nobles behind the figure of Leonid the formidable escort.

Merchants trade whatever and who if they know they'll get it.

"Five in chunks, please. I'll give you two silver coins."

Start of business negotiations - -.

When the silver coins were taken out, they showed no doubt at the counter.

Order as many as possible and offer a smaller amount.

It was fundamental to the business talks.

"Silver coins... sounds real. Five silver coins."

When I get a good look at Elizabeth's silver coins, I come up with an amount.

By the way, silver coins are worth about 2,000 yen in a previous life because of Elizabeth's sense of body.

The gold coin on it is about 100,000 yen, and the common people don't get it first.

Under the silver coins were half silver coins, copper coins, and half copper coins, each worth a thousand yen, a hundred yen, and fifty yen.

These are sloppy ones, and in fact the value increases and decreases subtly in the situation with the issuing country or countries.

Although it does not fluctuate much, as the whole continent is now relatively stable.

"Who are you?

"I can't say that's what my client wants. Two silver coins."

Elizabeth smiled at her mouth and, to put it in depth, offered the amount again.

"Four Silver Coins"

"Two silver coins."

A man from the Chamber of Commerce comes down the amount.

I think I did, and Elizabeth pushed another one.

"Three silver coins is the limit. If you can't get it out..."

"In three, then"

Quickly remove the silver coin from the other bag before it is withdrawn and place it on the counter.

"Yes, fine."

Although the man nodded, he has the face that he was hit.

I guess I could have bought it a little cheaper.

Five lumps of sugar makes 6,000 yen feel expensive, but I think this is because it is a high-purity precious product.

"I'll get it ready. Wait for me."

"Please, where I can see you"

A man called a man, looking at him as if he had no choice when he placed an order not to be deluded.

A small-timer brings five chunks of sugar wrapped in cloth.

Though I try to pack them in a box...

…………

Elizabeth didn't miss it.

A hand carrying a small chunk of sugar moves slightly differently in the third.

When I glanced, I could tell that sugar that was not conical was probably added in the same amount.

The ancient manufacturing method of sugar boils the squeeze juice of the sugar cane, removes the impurities and separates the crude sugar by means of a centrifuge.

Reheat this crude sugar and wash further to increase purity and whiteness.

Storage and carrying are also considered in the final process, put in the cone mould, and the tip is lowered and solidified.

So good sugar is cone-shaped, and those that aren't cone-shaped are surpluses that collapse from cone-shaped, or quality sugar that hasn't increased purity in the first place.

If it is not stiffened, it is good to inhale the humidity and buy it while still conical because the quality of the sugar drops.

"How many times do I know if I'm wrong? Start over!"

When you send Leonid a signal to stare, the receptionist yells at the small-timer.

It must be the guy at the reception who actually instructed you, it's a terrible story.

"Sorry about that. As ordered."

A man has offered a box with sugar to the counter.

Leonid lifts it up and loads the box with other things he bought in the open air.

"But you're a heartless, atmospheric, good escort. What do you say we give up the contract with one gold coin?

"I'm not an escort."

Leonid answered quickly as he did in the open air when the man brought him in as he left.

Apparently, it wasn't about being treated like a commodity to him, and that's where he can't give in.

"I refuse. Well, thank you."

Elizabeth replied with a laugh, leaving the Chamber of Commerce.

When I go outside, I catch my breath.

Fluffy luxurious carpets, a bunch of bad taste condiments to show off your financial strength - the mall is uncomfortable for Elizabeth, recalling the old days.

But with the help of Leonid, I managed to get good quality sugar.

"What's next?

Leonid asks again.

Is it time to get tired?

"Just a few more minutes, okay? I'd like to go to the dock."

Close to the mall to the dock, so I checked modestly, although I didn't need to walk so much.

…………

Leonid nods.

No heart... you look happy?

Normally, he didn't have the look of it, even though there would come a lax return of a man who would go along with a woman's shopping.

- Even so, it just barely changes your expression.

Speaking of which, it's like I've recently figured out the subtle emotional difference between Leonid.

What about the top and bottom of the brow in millimeters or the slight color behind the eye?

- Um, I can never explain this to anyone else.

I was laughing when I thought about him while walking to the harbor.

When he reached the port, Elizabeth headed towards the local boat, not the big sailboat to be packed.

"Hi - I'm sorry, I'm nagging you, aren't you fried?

When I find the hunter, I wave my arms, stick my lips out, and imitate the mollusc I'm looking for.

But everyone shook their heads in unison.

I don't have a habit of eating here, so I can't help it because it's not what I purposefully acquire.

"Is that an octopus? Are you looking for an octopus? That's unusual."

When you don't give up and ask around, you finally hit someone you know.

Grandfather fisherman who seems like a good person.

"Yes! Didn't you get it somewhere?

"No... your buddy hung on the net today and you were stupid enough to eat the fish"

He slaps his hand in the pom and gives us powerful information.

"Where are you from? I want it!"

"Are you a scholar or something? Well, no, I'll bring it. Stay."

My thoughtful grandfather jumped and moved from the staying ship to the ship with a leopard and came right back with a small barrel.

"This is it, right?

There was an energetic octopus in the barrel that moved with a noose.

Leonid looks at it and his eyebrows drop a little. You must have never seen it before.

"That's it! There it is, good. Please."

"Throw it away, you won't get any money."

I try to give him a few copper coins, but he waves and his grandfather says no.

When I lift the octopus, I take out the knife I lowered to my hips.

"Oh, don't strangle me! Put some sea water in the barrel and have a healthy child with it. Please."

Even though he looked strange, Grandpa did as he was told.

I'm sorry I'm not paying you at all just now, so I'm going to buy a few extra fish for my grandfather's capture, for dinner.

"Do you keep it? Do you like octopus too...?

Leonid asks.

That's right. He was worried about this behavior, too.

"Eat."

…………

When I answered, I opened my eyes a little.

The easiest reaction I've ever heard.

Octopus really seems to be an unfamiliar ingredient in this country.

Even in my previous life, I've heard that I barely eat octopus in the West.

Seems like a big religious problem, but it's like it's because of the oddity of appearance and the fact that the rest is disgusting because they eat together or even their own feet.

Although it is a familiar ingredient in Japan as far as the Shinto shrine...

By the way, please note that live octopuses need to be kept one at a time!

"I need you to stay healthy until the bazaar"

- You can't save it, can you?

If it's popular, I need to ask my grandfather earlier to buy it regularly.

I'm looking forward to cooking now.

I turned to Leonid, who was behind me.

"I've got everything I need."

"... right"

One breath, put it down, and I'll come back.

Is that... a little too bad? How could you?

"Sit here for a little while and wait!

When you find a stone that brackets a ship just right for you to lower your hips, you point there.

Elizabeth heads to the open air for fishermen and sailors who were nearby.

When I bought the juice of the fruit in the cup of tin, it went back to Leonid.

"Good luck. At the Luggage Handling and Chamber of Commerce, it was helpful."

Gratefully, I hand Leonid one cup.

"Oh."

When they sat side by side, they stared at the sea drinking.

Seagulls fly through the sky and comfortable sea breezes flutter and shake your hair.

To relax, very good views, climate.

I feel like watching it all the time until sunset.

"... Elizabeth!

Suddenly, Leonid stood up and looked at Elizabeth.

"Duh, what's wrong?

"I'm not an escort..."

"I know that."

- Don't you want me to think you're that much of an escort?

Do you want to remind Elizabeth that I am surveillance?

"I 'm--"

"Ahhh!

When Leonid was about to say something, Elizabeth remembered to forget to buy it when she saw a cat running with fish.

- I need to buy enough cloth!

"You thought something was missing. Leonid, let's go to another house. Excuse me, have a drink."

"... oh"

I was double-checking my shopping list in my head and had completely forgotten that Leonid was about to say something because of it.

The day before the bazaar three days after the buyout to the port.

Even after putting the children to sleep, the Sisters were being chased to their last preparations.

Mainly bazaar stall signs, curtains and other decorations, and...

"Um, I thought you'd look like a cat for anything if you put a cat on it, but it's hard considering your whole body"

Elizabeth is in charge of the seller's dress.

I imagined and designed the cat-like loose characters I saw in the harbor, but it's hard to keep them in 3D.

I'm ready for a new dish, so I'm just making it on my own, so I hope it's appropriate.

"Evening."

Even though it's midnight, someone knocks on the door of the room that was open.

It was Christhalt, the lord, who came in.

"Tomorrow's bazaar, nothing missing?

The sisters stop their hands and get up and greet them.

"This, my lord"

"Speak up, it's an honor, there's nothing missing"

Following Hilde, Roxanne also replies to him.

"Elizabeth was alone with the captain, and I bought them all, so no problem."

"I won't say anything extra!

Clinging to Lucinda's words, everyone, including Christhalt, laughs.

"... I'm glad Leo's blending in."

I call him by his nickname, so apparently Christhalt knows Leonid.

All of a sudden he seemed to care about him coming from a neighboring country.

"I won't meet you again, though."

Remember I'm late, I add.

"Oh man - Leonid worked alone the morning you guys went to the harbor. He swept me away because he saw a bandit. Thanks to you, the bazaar can do without any worries."

With a bitter laugh, Christhalt tells us why he was late for Leonid he didn't know.

"Eh! He didn't say anything..."

"I knew it... that's the kind of person you are, thank you"

Laughing all the time, to say just that, Christhalt left.

"Late is a bandit crusade, not a sleeper."

Lucinda repeats.

"We were protected without our knowledge."

I held my hands together with my chest as Roxanne prayed.

"... hey, I didn't hear that."

Pretending nothing was upset, Elizabeth moved a tick and a needle.

- That clumsiness, appeal as much as a handle!

If I was bumping into dissatisfaction, the sewing would go on sawdust.
