The picturesque rice cakes are delicious today

"He's really persistent. I hate it."

After the customer left, Lyla sighed in a slightly uncomfortable atmosphere in a ventilated shop.

"Who's that guy?

"Ah, it seems to be the son of some lord. And because the employees of this store liked it, they persisted in deciding whether to relocate to their territory, come alone, or work as maids in our mansion."

... I see. That was trouble.

"I hear you fell in love with Claire at first sight. And that's all I need, but you just called me... and I started calling Ange and Lian, so it was a boulder."

Hmm, a confectionery shop full of beautiful clerks can cause this kind of trouble. I see...

"Well, I'm fine. If you have cancer at the same rate as before, it will be done. Mr. Crowe seems used to that, so don't worry about it.... I'm just worried about Lian and Ange."

Yeah, we're both still small. There are no dangers, and there are ice birds and fairies, but I'm still worried about things.

"Besides, when that happens, it's a nuisance to other customers, right? I was wondering why..."

That's right. The impact on the store is huge, and that's what concerns me.

It is too regrettable that a confectionery shop where both fairies and humans work hard is ruined by just one persistent person.

Hmm... I don't know what to do.

"Hey, there's a boundary in the woods, right? Oh, can't you get to the entrance to the store?

Lyla suggested it quickly. Uh, woodland junction, huh? Then....

"... the people who pass through the boundary can now be set, but the people who cannot pass are not set."

"... in other words, it's going to be a completely referral shop."

Yeah, that's what I mean. So, as a shop, it's a little bad.

"Well, that's no good... Should we normally hire security guards?"

"Laocles?

In my head comes Laocles, who is royal in front of the fairy confectionery store. [M] Impressive. Reliable. Fun.

"Laocles... no, that's right. If he stood up, yes, he wouldn't be able to come in if he had something to back him up."

Yeah, that's right. Because it's our Laocles. If a plaster statue stood, I don't think the bad guys would let it in. Somehow.

"Well, let's ask Laocles. Just for a while, so I need a little shop security, so...."

"I see. I'm going to ask you a favor."

Yeah, let's do that. Laocles is the best thing to do at these times. I'm sure.

"... so I'd like to ask you to guard the confectionery shop."

When I explained the situation to Laocles, he nodded with a bitter face.

"That kind of situation would be inevitable. If someone like me stood in front of a confectionery store, the sales would go down...."

Well, that can't be helped. Laocles doesn't feel like a confectionery shop, but that's why he's a security guard.

"... if I had Interlia, I'd ask him."

"Mr. Interlia? No, I don't think she has enough gypsum statues."

"... regardless of whether it's a plaster statue or not, he's a knight. Resistant to rough events. You look better than me."

No, Laocles looks good, too. Very cool. Interlia is a beauty.... However, when asked if it suits the confectionery shop, Laocles is definitely a mismatch, and I think Interlia will have a terrible atmosphere. But I think that's why it's good.

"Well, that's fine. I was entrusted with it. You can just stand in front of the store and chase him away when a certain guy comes."

Yeah, that's what happens.

... so the next day, the fairy confectionery shop where Laocles was the gatekeeper started.

The customers were very confused.

When I heard it was a confectionery shop run by fairies and beautiful people, I found a plaster statue in front of the shop.... I think there's a huge gap. Mm-hmm.

"Somehow... I think it would be better for him to look a little more familiar."

"No, but if you do that, you'll lose control of the security...."

As I watched the situation from the inside of the store, I thought to myself, what should I do when I came to the store and saw the child fleeing Laocles while holding such a consultation? Well, in the meantime, today is the trial run of Laocles' security...

And then I was talking with Claire about how to dress up as Laocles, and, oh, no, not like this, but that's when it happened.

"Hey, back off. Why don't you leave?

"I'm told not to let certain people through."

I thought it was noisy, so I peeked outside... and there was a man yesterday. And it's brilliantly spoiled by Laocles. Floating Stone Laocles!

"Specific?... I wonder if it's a mistake?

"No, I'm talking about you. All the men who bring bouquets of flowers to the confectionery store are told not to go through."

When Laocles said so, the man looked at the bouquet of flowers he had in his hand, and then he looked at Laocles a little disgusting.

"Oh, no bouquets? Then I'll throw away the bouquet here. That's good, right?

"Don't let the 'like' man who brings flowers through. Whether it's flowers or jewelry, if there's something down there, I won't let you through."

"I can't believe it's disgusting...."

"In addition, if you allow me to express my personal opinion, I don't want anyone throwing flowers away ever more."

Listening to Laocles, me and Claire smile. Yeah. Flowers are innocent. I want you to take care of the flowers.

... so the man and Laocles were asking questions, but the man was sticky, and Laocles was like an iron wall. Stream Stone, our Gypsum Statue!

"I can't believe it. I just came to say hello to them. I won't bother you. Let me through. Or you can still ask them for permission to let me through!

The man finally sounded harsh and shouted at Laocles, but Laocles didn't move because he was Laocles.

"Sorry. I told you, but it wasn't the women in the store who gave me the order."

Laocles took a step forward. One step closer to the man, the difference in height and size between the two appears to be increasing. And the man will look up at Laocles even more as he approaches.

Laocles looked down at the man, laughing, and said, "Let's go see it."

"Spirit of the Forest."

"... in the forest?

"Ah, the Spirit told me not to let you through.... didn't you know? Spirits cover this forest. Spirits that are friendly to humans and have great power."

A man is confused by the fact that he doesn't understand the meaning. Looking at it, Laocles lost his expression again.

"... don't hurt the spirit's mood. It's a spirit friendly to humans, but I don't know if it's friendly to people who work disrespectfully."

... and then the man went home amazing. I climbed onto a carriage that was parked a little further away and left right away. When I left, I was able to see the emblem engraved on the carriage, so I decided to sketch it to a note. Maybe I'll ask Faye later.

"Good day."

"I'm not very tired."

Prior to the shop, Laocles came into the shop and took a break. The purpose of Laocles' security is not to let the man in earlier, so after the man has left earlier, he will no longer have a job.

"... I wonder if that kind of person leaves here."

"Yeah, that's right. Well... I'm properly decorated. Lyla's a little cute. But I'm worried about Leann and Ange. They're both small, so I think they could be kidnapped."

Yeah. I'm worried about that. We're both still small, so I'm worried if something happens to us. We're both small, so if we hold each other, we'll be able to take them with us...

I'm worried about you, too.

Yeah, I'm worried, too, Claire. No matter how professional Crowe is, I still don't like it if the other person is sticking to it, and I don't like it as the store's position...

"I'm fine. Oh, and then I'm worried about you too!

... eh?

"Lyla told me. Are you mistaken by a girl?

... eh?

"That's right...?

"Didn't you notice!?

No, no, I do feel like I've been told something a little strange. Cute ? No, but... I was wondering if you were treating me like a child.

"... well, you're thin."

Ugh...

"He's a small man."

Ugh...

"You look beautiful."

... uhh.

"And the atmosphere! Perhaps because the spirit atmosphere is strong, but you're not a very human boy! Isn't that why you made so many mistakes?

Oh, yeah.... I see. Yes. I was mistaken because I was a Spirit. Never, it's not like it's thin or small, but it's like a spirituality that makes me confused with someone else. That must be it.

"... it seems that I should finally turn to the guard here. I thought it would still be safe to have corn, but I didn't know that corn was on the target side."

I'm surprised, too. I wonder if that man's eyes are holes.

"Then tell me the regular holidays. I'll stay here the other day."

... ah. Hold on a second.

"Speaking of which, it's kind of hard to ask Laocles to keep a guard all the time. Should I hire a new plaster statue?"

Crowe and the others are on a shift. And yet, Laocles doesn't have a lot of shop numbers all by himself.

I don't care.

"No, I don't mind. Um...."

... yeah. I thought about it a little and decided.

Let's go to the model shop again.

"That's a slaver."

Oh, yeah. Slaver. Let's go buy a plaster statue model...!

So, the next morning. I came to the slave shop with Laocles.

I look at the shops in the town of Redgard and think I'll take him home if there's a plaster statue with a pin. If not, I will go to King's Landing.

"Uh, what kind of slave do you want today?

"Crime slave, please!

"Wait, why from the beginning...!

The slavers were used to it, and when I came, they looked like, "Well, I guess so." They let me through. So this time, as you look at everything, you go deeper into the corner of the criminal slave.

"... besides, you don't have to focus on being a criminal slave."

"Hmm... maybe so, but somehow"

The corner of a criminal slave is as noisy as when he came in the past. And then something comes flying. Laocles pays for the flying, and if Laocles stares at Giroli, the criminal slaves will not do anything after that.

... that's how we proceed. The person at the store said, "I've put in some new slaves that have been flowing lately," so I was a little excited.

When I reach the far end, I come to the place where I first met Laocles. [M] There was someone else in the cell where Laocles was.

So, gently, I peeked into the prison with a feeling of anxiety and expectation...

... wow.

"I wonder if there's a rule in this jail to keep a plaster statue."

There was a plaster statue with a plaster statue! You did it!

The plaster statue in the cell raised his face when he noticed me. [M] And with a slightly gentle smile, he waved his hand lightly.... somehow, this place doesn't look like a plaster statue, but I'm sure it looks like a good person.

... just when I was going to call Laocles and tell him I was going to buy this guy.

"... Ed!?

In the jail, a plaster statuette-like person stood up, changing his blood phase.

... Ed, that means Laocles, right?

When I look up at Laocleth's face... Laocleth is pompous, then approaching the bars of the jail and seriously looking at the faces of the people in the jail.... and...

Senpai!

That's what made my face brighter.
