The picturesque rice cakes are delicious today

Mr. Crore's [Father] was a man who looked like my imagination, not like me.

The hair in the color of a lion's toe is neatly arranged and stroked behind.Smoky green eyes were staring at us in the face engraved with wax.

The shirt you're wearing is superb, and the jacket on the back of the costume is a bit flashy with plenty of embroidery.It was like Faye's father was wearing it... that is, it was like an aristocratic outfit.

"You're back."

"Yes. If I don't come back, this vault will be a sea of fire."

Crore said it half-eyed and stared at [Father].That's right. If we don't deal with the gemstone of the King of Firecrackers, this person won't be able to do it for free.... you know that, and you put a lot of conditions on the handing over of the jewels, this guy is amazing.

You're my current employer.

“Yeah, I'll introduce you. It's Mr. Tougo Wesora.You know your father, don't you? "

Smokey green eyes stare at me....... I don't know if it's full of charming magic, but somehow, I feel like my body is stuck.It's like they're after me as a prey... and I'm a little scared.

"Hmm... he's amusing in a lot of things."He became the mayor of Soleila at a young age, and is also said to be a painter who will make a name in the art history of this country...... Cheng Jing.I was convinced at first sight. "

"Father" suddenly eased the sharpness of his gaze and got up from the chair and came to me.And then he puts his hand out in front of me.

Nice to meet you.

"...... Welcome"

So I shook her hand and shook her hand.... for a moment, Lao Cres had the look of "good", but I think it's good.I think it's safe because Crore can't stop it... and it's Crore's 'father' after all.I want to say hello properly.

"You're looking after your 'daughter'."Ah... your name is "Crore". "

"Yes, it's Mr. Crore. Somehow, I'm taking care of you."

When the name "Croatia" came up, Crore smiled with a little joy.Nevertheless, this "father" must be so well-informed as to surpass the women just now.I suppose you know who's using which name and where.

"Please keep it aside as long as you want."It seems that Crore likes you. "

Releasing his gripped hand, 'Father' said.

"... um, is that okay?" Even if you let Crore go into the woods. "

So just in case, I'll ask.

"As long as I want, I'm not going to let her out of the woods..."

... then [Father] opened his eyes a little and laughed.

"... no, I'm sorry. I'm glad you like Crore."

Eventually, the "father" who finished laughing said so, and then continued to laugh.

“It's nice to see a child nesting.If Crore is going to nest in the woods, that's fine.Sometimes it's a pity to let go.Well, I was able to get the original in this "tea can".It's not something to say anyway. "

I think it's quite light, but I also think this might be how they do it.Well, that's not exactly what I'm saying.

"But... that's right." If you don't mind, I want you to come and visit me again in the future. "

However, [Father] suddenly said that... and took out a card from the desk drawer and wrote something there.

“Have you heard from Crore that the front is a shop?”

"Yes, it's a café during the day and a bar at night."

“Oh, yes, both of them are disguise stores, but they serve something that tastes good.Please take advantage of it.... and if you show this at the counter, they'll let you through without even going through the back door.In the future, if you ever come to the capital, please stop by. "

The cards handed over are endlessly green and close to black.There was no gloss, but it was more of a texture, like plastic, than paper.There is a dull golden ink with a pattern that I don't quite understand."Oh, my God," said Mr. Crore, who peered into my hand.... it seems like a substitute for 'Oh, my God'. Let's hear it later.

"By the way... I see." I would like to buy a painting by Tougo Wesora.Well, I'll send you a formal request letter at a later date.Is it all right if I send it to Lord Tuugo Wesora of Soleila?Or should I send it to the Mayor of Soleila Town? "

“My mailman is a good mailman, so he can reach me any way he writes.”

When Lian boasted subtly, [Father] laughed a little, and then... looked at Laocles, who was behind me.

Laocles looked back at [Father] in silence, and the two stared at each other without moving their faces for a moment.

...... It was [Father] who turned away from me first. He turned his gaze to Croatia and asked her with a slightly interesting expression.

"... is he yours?"

"Well, that's what Janet and Edna told me."

"I'm on my way. I see."

'Father' laughs with a slightly mischievous smile at Crore.Then he reached out to Laocles and shook his hand.

"This is like a jackass inside... no, it's like the spirit of the wind."She is like a woman who runs away when she tries to catch her.but it would be fascinating, Croa... "

"... well..."

When Lao Cres replied shortly with an indescribable face, [Father] laughed with joy.

"Huh. Don't you like it?"

It's a bit of a scary line, but [Father] is only interested in fun and says it in a light tone.Laocles was not frightened... but thought for a moment and said.

"... if I stand in front of the cane, I want to leave the back to Croatia."To that extent, I trust you. That's all. "

... a few seconds after LaoCles said so.

"Huh.... you've found some interesting places to stay, Crore."

"... yeah. Really."

[Father] finally laughed happily, and Croatia leaned down with her fingertips on her forehead, exhaling a deep sigh.

When I see Crore muttering something, my expression loosens somehow.

... I feel like Laocres has won!The boulders are our plaster statues!

Then I told Father about Crore in the woods.

Many people come to the fairy cafe to try it out, and it seems like Croa likes edamame beans. There are many others.

When I spoke, Laocles supplemented it a bit, Crore laughed, and [Father] looked satisfied.We enjoyed such a chat... and.

“Now, before the evening comes, it's time to get down to business.”

Yo, [Father] stood up and put his hand in the corner of the room, in the beautiful pot that was decorated.

... then the wall beside the kettle just vanishes.Hey, what the hell is this?

"Your purpose was the gemstone of an example."

Towards the end of the wall... there's a room lined with dazzling treasures.

"I'll show you to the vault."But please don't say anything else.If this information gets leaked, I'll have to get rid of you. "

... oh, yes. I'll be careful.

There were many wonderful things in the vault.

Artworks, practical items, and items that may have been collected regardless of whether they are of high or low value are arranged alongside the narrow space.

I felt so discouraged to stare at it so strangely that I only saw it faintly, but there are silver work knives with patterns and simple but good baked dishes and such things.Also, I don't know what to use it for.

“What's here is what I like.Value and appreciation of others are irrelevant. ”

Sounds good.

Just by looking at this vault, you can somehow understand the hobbies of "Father".... I think he likes sparkling gems, but he doesn't like anything too flashy and impractical.We might be a little suited to our tastes.

And in the back of the not-so-spacious vault.There, it was.

"And this is what I found in Gringo territory."It must be a good jewel.... this is what you're looking for, isn't it? "

Yes.

The gemstone of the Kachikachi Fire King is placed on each pedestal.When I see the treasure side by side, it really looks like it's just a gem.

“I had a little trouble getting this.After all, it was a tough piece of work that finally got the original owner to let it go.I heard that there are some interesting anecdotes about this gem.I really wanted to get it. "

[Father] was telling such a story... and suddenly he looked at us.

"... anecdotes?"

It doesn't seem like it's sealed with a ticking arson king, so when I asked it back, "Father" laughed.

"Do you want to hear it?"

Yes, of course.

... I'm a little curious. Perhaps you can see something that follows [his name...], as the Kakakashi Fire King said.
