Fairy Tale Chronicles

"It's a treat for Non today! Drink! Drink!"

"Oops!!

"Alcohol is not alcohol!!

"Bring it to me, sir!!

Higashi watched the banquet, which began with the decree of one Dwarf, in an unfamiliar manner.

"Hey, sister"

"Yes, what is it?

"This city is always like this?

"That's right. It's not just here, it's always like this in a Dwarf city liquor store."

The clerk, who is one of the few people in the sight to say Dwarf, whether you look to the right or to the left, answers that with a bitter smile to True Harp's question.

The city of Alogordmine, which currently houses Honda, is a mining city located on the edge of the Fore, about fifty kilometres north of the border with Genoa, the northernmost country of the Union of Midas. Although it is a city of mines, and therefore has a slightly skewed population distribution where 70% of the population says Dwarf, the city of mines at the foot of the Great Spirit Peak is almost everywhere like this.

"Well, I hear there's been a major downfall today, and if that miraculously goes to zero along with the dead and wounded, I wonder if it's impossible for you all to shake."

"Ha..."

A line of Japanese people accidentally make a dry laugh at the words of the clerks as they line up their dishes. Anyway, Hiroshi is here because she showed the lion's excitement by being involved in rescuing the crash. I mean, the dead know zero casualty teases anyway, so they can't suppress dry laughter or anything more than the reason is undoubtedly in the specificity of the macro.

"Nevertheless, I can't afford to drink all the liquor from this store for this minute..."

"It's already a barrel of wine..."

The liquor, which was only a jock for the first toast, has already gotten out of hand in the way of placing one barrel at a time at each table, even though he says he hasn't even cooked yet. Soften up the pitcher or bottle and suddenly it is a barrel. Moreover, the Dwarves served do not show any doubt there and happily open the barrel plugs and pour the contents around the jock.

A barrel with plenty of contents, quite heavy weight. When he says he's doing it the way he lifts it up, tilts it and pours it in, but sees no sign of spilling a drop, he's apparently used to the way he drinks it from day to day.

"Something's happening to the three of us."

"That's right..."

"Long live the minors?

"Maybe..."

At present, only three people in this store do not drink alcohol: Hong, Spring Vegetables and Mio. There is a strong sense that not only in this country, but everywhere I take you to, of course, the underage Mio, both the Hong and the Spring Vegetables, have basically been drinking since you were twenty years old. Essentially, when I was in Japan, Hongchan and Spring Vegetables used to mouth dishes that served New Year's Eve soup and booze, but I have never had a type of drinking that was not legally acceptable. As for Mio, he was weak, but his parents were overprotective, and there was no alcohol in the house until he was hospitalized. For this reason, even if I have eaten a bit of alcoholic food from eating out, I have never seen the actual alcohol itself until I came to this world.

Therefore, all three of the minors are interested in the state of being drunk, but have little interest in the alcohol itself. I know what liquor tastes like because I often lick it in the cooking process, but I know what it tastes like, so I don't want to drink it until I deliberately break the law.

"For now, that's it"

"What?"

"Not you guys from the elves, but there's one thing I can't really explain..."

"Ah, I know what you're trying to say. I'm not being subtle either."

Via barrel shape and all stunning bearded dwarves from one hundred forty to one hundred and fifty centimeters tall. It is a typical dwarf that normally exists in fantasies everywhere, no matter where you look from. If that's all a man.

"That's right. Even though the elves were oh, the dwarves are so true to the original."

"So how about both men and women with mustaches and so much fidelity to the original?

"No, I'm in trouble if you tell me that,"

Yes, the Dwarves of this world are the so-called Dwarves loyal to the setting of classical fantasies, which have given rise to fine mustaches for both men and women. The appearance alone does not identify any man or woman, and the habit, the voice, is usually the same as that of a human or elf man or woman, so it's terrible to be uncomfortable talking about it. Some female dwarves are so beautiful that they can compete well with spring vegetables and aeris because of their splendid appearance that they can only be described as their parents, which makes them so troubled by their appearance, voice and posthumous appearance.

"I mean, if Dwarves are like this, why would an elf be anything?

"Mio, Mio. Perhaps even if you care, you should give me an answer or something."

"It's a Dwarf in the corner, so I expected a legal Loribaba..."

"As for why Mio expects it later, if Makoto asks about it for an hour or so, my sensors will be subtly inaccurate when it is difficult to identify it so far in the boulder."

A macro spills with a rather subtle look about certain truthful issues. Nothing seems to be a problem without being able to identify Dwarf men and women, but essentially, I don't really trust anything called women in general. Yeah in appearance. But we can't rule out the possibility that the contents are normal maidens, so we can't help but be alert enough no matter how alert the macro is.

"Well, for now, it's a treat for the corner, and let's put aside what we can't even think about right now, and let's eat a guy called Follet."

"Yes, yes. If there's trouble, we'll have to think about it then."

Tatsuya and Spring Vegetables propose to cut off the conversation for the time being to a problem proposition that you can't help thinking about even though it's true about Hiroshi. A macro who listens to that suggestion, snorts bitterly and gets his hands on cooking.

Follet's cuisine has a food culture close to the so-called German cuisine, dominated by potatoes and intestines. There is no such dish as pickles or sauerkraut because vinegar is rarely used throughout the world and there is no such thing as pickles, but cabbage often appears in stir-fry dishes, salads, etc. Unlike darling, spices are only used about pepper, but the flavour of the ingredients can be tasted well for that matter. From the point of view of flavoring, it can be said that it is considerably more suitable for Japanese than Dar's dishes.

This sausage is delicious.

"The meat and vegetable layers over here are pretty good too"

"But when the bread stays intact, it doesn't change how hard it is to not chew through, does it? Hardness with a slightly different type of bread, mainstream in the United States and Germany"

In the meantime, the underage group, who have nothing but to eat, quickly begins to comment on the dishes they have eaten.

"Somehow, if you ate a delicious sausage, and you tried to make a hot dog or something, heh?

"Oh, sure."

"All the time, I feel like using a little seasoning sneak and secretly making hot dogs..."

With that said, a macro sneaking out ketchup, curry flour and mayonnaise. Probably the Kansai-style type that tastes like cabbage with curry powder. They think about grain mustard after it's done because it divides preferences.

"Hong-kun, I know how you feel, but let's not do that in the store"

"That's right. I'll do it, but only after I get permission."

Applying your hand with condiments brought on its own to what was served in the restaurant is not a good idea in the part where manners and things are involved, however much they may be.

"Oh, I'm sorry. The devil."

Spring vegetables and Tatsuya treat me, and I just get rid of the seasoning before the clerk sees me. Mio reaches for the salt grill of river fish while being subtly discouraged inside that Hiroshi did not cook a new dish.

"Nevertheless, even if I say it resembles German cuisine, is there a dish in the boulder that I eat raw other than vegetable salad..."

Spring vegetables that say such strange things while pounding their tongues on the dishes lined up in front of them. The gaze of all the humans on the spot concentrates on that statement.

"Is there anything in German food that you eat raw?

"Yeah. I think I did say Met, I have a dish that eats specially processed pork raw"

"Is that okay...?

"Well, he's got a lot of ideas, including how to raise him to keep him from food poisoning and stuff, so for the other guy, it feels like he's close to eating yukkes and stuff, doesn't it? I've never eaten in Germany, so I don't know for sure."

In explaining the spring vegetables, the Japanese also feel that they are not convinced. Especially, the macro that was badly eyed by the combined grinding mince seems to stink of frigidity. Nevertheless, I dare not say anything about this occasion because it is strange for Japanese people who eat raw or half-life, even horse meat and beef, even though they handle it properly, to deny the raw food culture of other countries no matter how much the subject is pork.

"Well, at any rate, what you eat in Farlane and Faure is not very different because of the difference in specialty cuisine, and there may not be much development of a new food culture"

"I don't know. The ingredients seem to be imported quite a bit from Farlane."

Hiroshi snorts at the allegations of spring vegetables. There are currently typical Fore dishes lined up on the table, but most of them are just what I've seen on Farlane, to the extent that Germanic omelette-like egg rolls at best are called this unique dish. Just because it tastes much better compared to Farlane's doesn't mean the sausage kind is the only one in the foray.

Even for meat, Faure is a culture that eats bugs and lizards often, but that's not as big a difference as it might be in Farlane. At best, the proportion of worms, lizards and other meat is only about five to five or four to six different.

In addition, Farlane and Faure are both smoking cultures with regard to meat processing, but Faure is dominated by intestinal stuffing, as opposed to Farlane, which smokes block meat intact. This is because there are many mountainous areas in the country that are not very suitable for agriculture, and dairy farming is not so thriving. Even though it is not enough to say that anything with four legs, like China, eats anything but a desk, the eatable creature has a deep-rooted culture of trying to eat as uselessly as possible. In Fore, he said, the meat of a tailored creature has a habit of entering anything because fewer areas will be wasted intestinally than a lot with block meat.

Conversely, in Farlane, areas that are difficult to eat if not so much are more commonly processed and turned to fertilizer. For this reason, there are not so many variations in the intestines, and the taste is inferior to that of Faure. That change is Farlane's victory when it comes to smoking block meat.

and so on and a culinary reputation,

"Lord, do you drink properly?

Jock A dwarf, who could feel good with one hand, came to tangle at the table of the Honda. When you look at it, every table is already empty of new barrels (you can tell right away because the brands are different), and some tables even have a minimum of three barrels available to match the barrels that are rolling at your feet.

Even though all the clerks who collect that barrel and leave the contents behind are skinny, old ladies, I'm pretty sure they have a lot of arm power together.

Together we move our gaze to the dwarf in front of us, thinking about something that doesn't matter. He is the union leader of the city's mining union and a man of top skill as a mining technician.

"What, you're not drinking even though it's a treat in the corner?"

"Ah, the three of you are not old enough to drink in our country. When I get back, it's gonna be tough, so I'm not gonna let you drink it."

"What. Did you care about that? If you don't say anything, it's gonna be a problem."

Like a drunk in the country, the union leader makes a leap in trying to get him to drink anyway. As a dwarf, not drinking in a booze seat is an outrage.

It is the same as a drunk who appears at a so-called country banquet.

"You know, uncle"

"What?

"I don't even know what it tastes like. I don't have a drop of alcohol at this table that I can't get my kids to drink. If it's enough to give these kids a drink, I'll take it all."

True harp pinches his mouth on all the help boats as he begins to raise a sense of crisis that he may be drunk with strength as it is. Most importantly, this statement can be genuine in a significant proportion.

"Well, I see. Then I won't say anything rude. Drink, drink, drink!!

That said, I pour a lot of booze into the oversized jock that the clerk asked me to bring. True harp to receive it with cheer.

"In the meantime, I'll leave the drunk opponent to the real harp"

"Agreed"

"If you're Sister Makoto, you probably won't be crushed"

I'm used to Makoto-san.

"The Knights are like this when booze comes in, except Julius."

It's the four of us who decide to push an ill-natured drunk into a true harp in a party chat and continue to enjoy cooking at my pace. Zhenqin intended to do so herself, so I am not going to complain about it.

In the end, after the four Hongdas pulled up one foot ahead, one true harp remained, and this is the only story where they came home flat after knocking out all the Dwarves after drinking up all the booze in the store.

Let's talk about the Faure they're in right now. The kingdom of Fore, which sets the stage for this chapter, is one of the three great countries of the western part of the continent, also known as the "Land of Iron". Located next to Farlane east across the Great Spirit Peak and north of Dar across the Midas Federation and the Sharne and Alga Rivers, this country is a mineral-industrialized nation with a large number of mineral resources, as its alias suggests.

Fore has a large number of mineral veins in the country, and many of the cities make mining of mineral resources their business. Because of this, nearly 30% of the nation's fruits have a one-of-a-kind demographic that says Dwarf, and it is also a rare country where other races, when added, reverse the proportion of human species.

Because of the city adjacent to the mine, or because there are so many cities named "~ Cave" and "~ Mine," the city to which the name is attached is at least 40% of the inhabitants, and more than 90% is Dwarf, which is one of the reasons why the said city is pushing the Dwarf ratio in the population of Fore.

It should be noted that it is easy to see why Dwarves are not a hundred percent, because they are remarkably bad at commerce, and that is especially true of the food and beverage industry. Because it is easy to see why people are not comfortable, and they cannot just watch people eat and drink in silence. As a result, they drink more wine than they sell in their stores and eat more rice than they serve to their customers, so they can't maintain their stores in restaurants with some exceptions.

Agriculture is not so thriving in a country where mining is developed and also in geographical conditions where latitudes are high. Because of the number of mineral veins, the hardness of the water is high, and there are few water veins with excessive minerals that cannot be drunk as is, and the fact that the types of crops that can be made tend to be restricted is also the reason why agriculture is not very flourishing in Fore. Rather, it can also be said that because of the constraints on agriculture, Faure used a large number of human resources called Dwarves to create a large number of high-quality, high-performance metal products, thus making it a country needed by the world in a different way from Farlane.

The country's greatest weakness is the increased dependence on Farlane in terms of food due to national constraints, and the fact that transport routes from Farlane can only be used in the winter on the northern streets or ports, or on the southern routes through several countries called the Midas Federation and Dar, is a constant problem at the top of the country's minds. Lauren, our eastern neighbor, does not have enough agricultural production to support Faure, the Midas Federation is full of themselves, and the food relationship is not so different from Faure's.

Fore, who has strengths in the mining industry and is anxious about agricultural production, inevitably becomes a minority elite, even militarily. Faure is the most highly skilled of the three great nations, and has the strength to normally just flip over if there is a difference in numbers of about 5% if they are not particularly skinny from each other and run into each other from the front, under the conditions of saying that the troops are equally equipped and have no special presence like Doga or Julius. That is where excellent equipment is added, so the high level of combat capability is extrapolated. Most of all, even with all that strength, it's the ruthless part of this world that could be half-baked by just one special example like Doga, Raina, and Julius.

It is a country of humans and dwarves, a country of strong and weak iron. That is Fore.

"With that said, I was collecting quite a few stones and stuff yesterday during the fall accident, is that okay?

Breakfast seats the next morning. Where bread, soup and salad and surcharge sausages have been served, Spring Vegetables asks about what cannot be overlooked in yesterday's action of the Macro.

"I need your permission."

"I hope so"

Spring vegetables to be convinced once and for all that there is no particular problem with the reply of the Macro while soaking the bread in the soup. When it comes to the stones that the Horn was recovering, it is the bedrock that was blocking the entrance in the crash, the one that crushed it.

"Nevertheless, I felt like an unnatural fall accident all the time. So, that"

"Really?

"Near the entrance to such a pit, and where it's properly reinforced by bees, it collapses,"

Spring vegetables and Mio unexpectedly look at each other for early noisy stories when they come to Fore. Makoto suppresses his forehead by sighing at Tatsuya roaring in a small voice. I have the first idea that comes to mind at the point of saying unnatural, but Allogordmine is not that important a mineral range, although the size of the city is quite large. I don't bother to feel the point of breaking this place down.

"Hiro, what do you think?

"Whatever you say. I was uncomfortable, and there was no sign of a bombing or anything like that."

Tatsuya can only roar more and more at that answer of Hiroshi. Unnatural crash. Yet there is no trace of the work being done. Besides, it happens the day we visit. It's too obvious to judge.

"Well, it was hard to collapse with a bomb or something. Let's do it, I think. If you want to drop that bumpy mass as it is, break the joints of the formation so accurately, oh yes Kansai"

"In other words?"

"The downfall itself is probably due to natural phenomena and"

……

Together the comments silence unexpectedly in the seemingly obviously contradictory words of the macro. Although there are contradictions, it is not otherwise possible to produce natural phenomena in a pile of roundabout ways.

"... Master, do you have something to think about?

"I don't think so much, but maybe we should do a little thorough ground-breathing."

"Ground vein and collapse, what does that have to do with it?

"I can't say for sure, but when the ground pulse is weak or the flow changes, I feel like the ground itself is weak. As I have said many times, there will be a flashy crash like this, where there is no square where the branching begins and the main road pit, which is also a disappointing reinforcement near the entrance, where the rock formations that are clearly wider than the width of the pit collapse and are crushed and buried, and if it happens, I might as well suspect the ground vein."

We have no choice but to remain silent again on the ambition to take Mio's question and make that decision with civil engineering and mining, knowledge by two high levels of skill. If Hiroshi is right, there is a risk that similar accidents will occur in the future. It's not a question of how to mine anyway, so there's no prevention for people in the field.

"... so how exactly do you find out? Looking for the main lord after all?

"Well, that's all you got. The temple will hold the earth's pulse."

I cannot return any other responses to Spring Vegetables that have confirmed my future policy. The fact that the earth pulse is strange is likely that there was some anomaly in the temple. Nevertheless, it is about Farlane and Dar, such as a country where the location of the main temple of the temple is clearly passed on to humans outside the country, and in the case of Faure, it has not even been passed on to humans in other countries which gods are being festived by the temple that holds the largest ground pulse.

"Is it true that God, who is being fed at the Faure, was Elsa?

"That's what you hear."

"A pillar of the five great gods, or..."

Tatsuya and Makoto sigh at the same time to the god of a setting that seems really easy to target.

"As soon as we get in, there are signs of trouble, and this country is going to be in a difficult situation..."

"What the hell. In the first place, there's hardly a country in which the upper echelons are not in a difficult situation."

On Tatsuya's mourning festival, a bittersweet chuckling spring vegetable penetration bursts. I can't argue with that opinion without its body or lid, and Tatsuya decides to drink up the rest of the soup and delude it.

"At the very least, I hope this whole political mess hasn't happened. We tend to get caught up on a national scale."

"Well, let's do the whole thing that involves the center of the country every time on a boulder, and let's avoid the flag that says so this time."

"I hope we can avoid it, hey. I mean, the Macro. You didn't do anything extra to keep an eye on the center of the country, both in Farlane and Dar!

"It's a coincidence when it comes to Farlane, and I think it's probably hard to see it from the beginning when it's Dar..."

In response to Zhenqin's tough point, he tries to escape responsibility by saying that there is an excuse. In fact, it would have been a crisis in this world itself if Farlane had not been blindfolded, and it had been noted by the royal family from the outset when it came to Dar, but there is no objection in that sense, because it is because of the macro that caused him to be forced to be involved in the hardship measures.

"Well, that goes back to the beginning..."

"First story?

"What's that stone you were collecting?

"Oh, that one? It has more content, but it's basically just iron ore. I thought I'd use it to practice the forge and refining of spring vegetables. Considering the amount of potion released and the amount of work and difficulty when the bedrock was crushed and removed, it was completely problematic to get all of that."

In response to the Spring Vegetable Question, Hiroshi tells us what she plans to do from the beginning. In the first place, I went out of my way to the city's mines to gather ingredients for Spring Vegetables, Mio, and then train the staff in Farlane to refine and blacksmith. Even more possible, we wanted to dig our own iron ore to practice spring vegetables, but only this time we couldn't get that far because of the crash and the mess that followed.

"It's good to practice, but where and how do you do it?

"I have a portable furnace and a blacksmith set, so I can do it anywhere I want?

"What's a portable melting furnace..."

"As the name suggests. Thanks to Iglesios, we have a furnace that can hold enough calories in the size we can carry, so prepare it for times like this."

"Are you okay, it..."

Tatsuya can't hide anything from her anxiety on new items with lots of penetration. Because of this, this portable melting furnace, when carried with the folding compression function, will be the size you will like to go into the nostalgia, but when it is deployed, it will be about 20% larger than the normal tear. The amount that can be smelted at a time is known due to its size, but the quality of what can be made is very different from that of a typical melting furnace, and this furnace is a few percent higher for various corrections.

Note that for the folding compression function, which obviously only seems to be morphing deformed in disregard of the law of mass preservation, it is useless to just put the penetration in. What's more, there's no point in sticking a normal-sized melting furnace in a carrying capsule from the beginning.

"Well, whatever, ya"

I decided to put all the dishes I finished eating in my day habits together so that they were easy to carry, while announcing what I was finalizing at the moment.

"You can stay in this city for a long time, and you can leave today."

"Right."

"Do you practice smelting or blacksmithing when you're on a break?"

"Do it during the break..."

Spring vegetables whining somewhat far-eyed into the uninhabited language of the macro. Spring vegetables that are still vastly inferior to true harp and Mio, but have a sense that it is time to become significantly more robust and powerful than the average seventh level adventurer. Regardless of Hiroshi, who was originally in surprisingly muscular shape with the help of his family business since he was in the other world, the Spring Vegetables look almost muscular to his appearance. Apparently, there are significant effects of special specifications around here that do not drop in talent even if retrospective, with little change in appearance, except for Mio, which is due to metabolism during the growth phase. Honestly, I just want to beg your pardon for getting too massive in shape, so I try not to think about the questions around here.

The nails, hair, beard, etc. grow normally, but it feels really strange that I don't get fat even though I eat delicious food and drink alcohol every day, but I don't have any particular problems with that, so I am grateful to receive the benefit. With regard to the effects of aging due to getting older, even the oldest Tatsuya is twenty-seven on his next birthday, so I don't know for sure. In the first place, I just want to ask for a break because Tatsuya is going to break.

"Well, it's a matter of policy, and we're just leaving for the capital."

"Saya."

It doesn't make sense where we were talking about any more crap. Sometimes the Dwarves can catch us again if we are too late to leave, and Tatsuya has just declared his departure.

"Treat, accounting, please."

"Yes, it's twenty domas with five extra sausages."

"Ho."

One line that pays the charges told (roughly twenty tyrols in Farlane's currency) and just leaves the inn. Every break after this, Spring Vegetables creates a wave of weapons and tools made in practice, and a lot of things that are not directly involved in the processing of this, but that is still a story ahead of us.

That's how their story at Fore opened the curtain with turbulence from day one.
