Chapter 323

When I finished organizing most of the things I had taken out of the cloth bag, Mr. Bell returned to the basement.

"I'm home.

Bottle, is this okay?"

Uranus checked the bottle Mr. Bell handed to him. There was quite a bit of medicine in the bottle.

"Hmm, a bottle of over-the-counter medicine...

I don't mind. How much grain do you have?"

"Thirty grains.

If it runs out soon, tell me and I will replenish it when you stop."

"... This is correct.

I will let you do that."

Yes. This is a win for both of us, and a good place to lose. Even Bell-san and the others wouldn't run out of seventy cold pills that often.

"So, have you finished packing your luggage?"

"Oh, finished.

I want to save a few more cards, is that okay?"

"I don't mind.

What should I keep?"

"I'll go see now. Reservation."

"I'll take it out too. Book."

"Are we going out too?"

"I agree.

Everyone, take out your Binder now."

"Book."

Uranus took out all the Binders and looked around at all the free pockets.

"Hmm, wait a minute..."

Uranus took out a note and wrote it down simply.

"You have a hard time too." m.

"... At least card management is easier when I play solo.

It's tough because the choices are very strict."

I will leave this to Uranus. I left it to someone else last time, so honestly, I don't think I can do it again...

"Hmm, I see...

5 'Castle Gate' and 5 'Communication'. Please keep a total of 10 extra sheets."

"Is that enough?"

"Enough.

If you don't leave 10 empty slots, you'll run out of shopping, right?"

"If you don't leave the change in the store."

Yes... basically, the Money Card eats up the most slots. Because of this, I can't easily go shopping. What can I do?

"Although it's a card intended to be kept, please also give Motarike a 'Castle Gate'.

Protecting you is enough."

"Yeah, yeah. You're worried too."

"I said that, but if someone uses something like 'Withdrawal', you wouldn't like it, would you?"

"Excellent..."

This couple cannot guarantee the safety of the Game Console, so if it is sent to the Game Console by 'Leave', it would be dangerous. I absolutely want to have one.

"Could this be the reason you entrusted it to 'Castle Gate'?"

"This is about the matter.

It is an Obstacle, but there is no substitute, so it is a card I want to keep in case I become a target."

"... Okay.

If that's the case, I'll give Molly three."

"Why don't you give me a little more?"

"It doesn't matter, even if there are more, it will just get in the way."

After the conversation, cards were passed from each Binder.

Just after finishing the work, Uranus stretched gently.

"Come on.

It's too hot, I'll be back to the Snow Fly soon.

I'm sorry for visiting you suddenly."

"Zen Zen, I also got a souvenir.

If it's hot, I should take it off and relax."

"I want to climb the Snow Mountain quickly, and I definitely want to get off before dark.

Anyway, when tomorrow comes, we will be Together for a while, right?"

"Yes.

Do you have any special preparations?"

"No.

We will definitely come here again to fiddle with our luggage.

Some people leave them, and some people come to pick them up."

"……You won't be going to Snowfly for the time being, will you?"

"Maybe. It is inefficient to stay in the same place for too long.

If I go to Dorias tomorrow, I will go to another place. I haven't decided yet."

"Hmph.

……Goodbye. Should I go to your house today?"

"Teeth?"

Favor? Mr. Bell, you said something strange.

"Why don't you join us tomorrow?

Then don't you think it would be good to join us tonight? Of course, with Molly."

"……Bell, you.

Do you really want to spend the night on a Hot Spring trip?"

"Table Tennis.

Anyway, it's safer near you. Want to go to the Hot Spring with Molly."

"Little by little……

Don't involve us; if you want to go, just go by yourselves, the two of you."

"Do you have any plans for tonight?"

"Uh……

…but no."

Mr. Bell happily clasped his hands together and said: "Alright then,"

"Wait! ……Wait, don't decide on your own.

It might not interfere with the capture, but let me consult with my friends."

"Please, please, please.

It must be hot, I'll get you a cold drink, you say it."

Mr. Bell left the basement with a light pace. I'm completely coming, hmm...

Ouranos didn't even hide his sullen expression,

"……I'm in trouble, what should I do?"

"I'm in trouble, but it's hard to say no……"

"Although we are acquaintances, with them by my side, I can't easily talk about various things……

I don't feel very good."

"And big sister……"

"Not to mention whether I'm in a good mood or not, I am the biggest bottleneck.

Being annoyed is annoying, but there's no reason to refuse."

"I can't even say it honestly.

What a rascal……"

"However, isn't this a perfect opportunity to persuade the two of you?"

When I said this, Ouranos crossed his arms with a thoughtful expression,

"Hmm...

Well, this might be better than talking in this house.

Even if I say go back to reality, if I am in this room, I will definitely regret it. ……But, hey."

"When the two of you are Together, many things are hard to do……

Are you still going to refuse Meleoron?"

"……

Wouldn't it be great if you could share food and a place to sleep?"

That? I thought it would be counterproductive.

"Meleoron, are you serious?"

"Are you sure? Even so, I feel it's still hard to move."

"Big sister, are you really okay?"

"……No way.

Even if I am taking care of you, I don't want you to feel embarrassed."

Ouranos and I looked indescribable. What else can I do...

"Ha……No.

Anyway, starting tomorrow, I will accompany you. Meleoron, are you really okay?"

"Don't worry too much.

Well, it will be resolved."

Take it easy, Meleoron. I wonder if it's really okay...

After discussing for a while, Mr. Bell will return after a certain amount of time.

"Wait~ have you decided?"

Mr. Bell asked while holding a tray, with 5 pairs of glasses in his hand.

Uranus took two cups and handed one to Meleoron. Meleoron took it with his gloved hand, then turned his back to Mr. Bell.

I also took two cups and handed them to Seam.

Hmm. What kind of drink is this? It smells very fragrant... Ah, Kapi. It's also on this island.

Uranus tapped the ice cubes in the cup, took a sip, and then held up two Finger.

"There are conditions.

The shop and the inn are both fine, but the restaurant and the bedroom are separate from us. Is this also okay?"

Bell-san tilted his head curiously at Uranus, who was shaking his Finger,

"Hmm? Are you alright?

Would you come if there were no couples?"

"It's more convenient for us.

I will pay for my food and lodging here.

... Tomorrow I will give you the military funds so you can play with Dorias, but please cover the miscellaneous expenses yourself. Honestly, it's hard to manage."

Mr. Bell said "Hmm" and tilted the wine glass.

"You are generous.

Is it really okay? I actually thought it was impossible."

"If you are willing to cooperate with the game strategy, this is enough.

If you give us a designated Pocket Card, it would be less of a burden for us, but you don't need that kind of thing, right?"

"Even if you don't want to keep it in your Collection, I won't give you a 'Copy' card.

I wish I could sell it to someone else, but it might get stolen before then."

"Thanks to none of you Collect-ing the designated Pocket cards, it's easy for us to store cards too.

Well, this time is special. If you get entangled every time, it will interfere with your strategy."

"Thank you.

I am so happy to receive a one-night Hot Spring trip as a gift."

"Well, I don't have to pay for transportation."

Uranus shrugged. That was the only thing that saved me. It doesn't need to take a long time. The movement Spell is convenient, isn't it? I wonder if even fellow student Leorio could help.

After agreeing to meet with Bell-san and the others again starting tonight, we headed to Antokiba city. Well, there were some unexpected things, but I'm glad I was able to keep the luggage safe. It made me feel a bit more comfortable.

The future plan is to challenge the Snow Mountain using Snowflake from now on. After descending the Snow Mountain, I contacted Bell and asked him to come to Snowflake to join us. After one night, I returned to Antokiba to organize the luggage and money. Then go to Dorias.

... I hope the Snow Mountain assault goes smoothly. If you stumble there, it will be troublesome later.

"I don't know if it's convenient or inconvenient."

Uranus had a tired face. Well, it's someone else. Unlike communication between friends, just putting in and taking out luggage won't be the end of it.

"But you can still take this to go fishing.

I don't mind buying it again."

What Seam said is also true. In addition to fishing gear, it's not bad to carry a lot of clothes or buy new ones.

"Well, if you think you can do it without hesitation instead of a warehouse, isn't it cheap?"

"... It's fine that you say so."

Meleoron is the bottleneck for going out with that couple. It's not just this problem, it's quite difficult...

Send 300,000 Jenny to the Trade Shop in Antokiba, then return to Snowflake.

Once again in the snowy scenery, Seam cheerfully started running briskly,

"Sushi!"

"Don't fall because you're too stubborn."

"Got it!"

This isn't Seam, but it feels cool. Because it feels hot, it means the thick clothes are working properly.

"Sure enough, it seems better not to walk back and forth between cold and warm places."

"Yeah, you might be putting pressure on your body without knowing it.

I think you should adjust your body temperature before going to the Snow Mountain."

"Yes. Now, maybe lunch."

"Have you decided where to eat?"

"I haven't decided yet.

What should I do?"

Uranus had a thoughtful face. So far, I have eaten at Snowflake because it is a hot pot and Salmon set meal. I also want to try others.

Uranus looked at me meaningfully and said:

"Don't think you can eat such delicious food, okay?

I'm going to climb a Snow Mountain, so I'm going to have a light meal."

"Yes..."

Restraint. You're right, but yes...

Slippery... sloppy.

"—Because you said that, I didn't expect it, but it's delicious, isn't it here?"

"Yes.

If you feel it's not enough, you can ask for more."

"It's delicious. I like it more than ramen."

"..."

Uranus took us to tour Chuyue, where we had a simple lunch of udon noodles and Rice Ball—or so I thought, but this is perfectly fine. Enjoying gourmet food in Japan!... The quantity isn't much, is it? I demand extra!

Meleoron is also popular in the seam, but has an ugly face. Using chopsticks to pick up udon seems difficult, so he takes off his gloves while eating, paying attention to his surroundings. I eat the Rice Ball with my bare hands.

"Big sister, is it delicious?"

"... It's not delicious."

"I'm sorry, Meleoron.

If you consider nutrition before climbing the Snow Mountain, this area would be better.

Try to eat as much as you can."

"Yeah, yeah... Oh my, over there."

Meleoron lets the udon slide off his chopsticks, splashing the soup. There is.

"Sister, if it's that hard to eat, should I go and help?"

"Eh?"

Oh. I am trying to do something interesting.

"You said it's good, I'll try to eat it."

"The weather is too hot, it will fly away, I'm scared.

Please lend it to me."

"Oh! Hi."

"Chopsticks. Look."

"... Mm."

Uranus and I stare at our siblings. From a third-party perspective, I cannot stop the chopsticks.

"What are you looking at? You guys should eat."

"Sob sob sob...

Yes, um."

"..."

"... Ah."

The udon delivered to Meleoron's mouth is smoothly sucked in. With a complicated expression, chewing,

"Delicious?"

"... Mm. Mm, mm."

That's right. I don't mind doing this kind of perverted thing myself, but is it embarrassing to have it done by someone else? When I face Uranus, I don't even feel embarrassed.

Looking at the blushing smile on his face, he glances at Uranus. Sigh! And Uranus, holding his own bowl, separates himself from me.... Wait.

"Huhu hu..."

"Hey Teacher, let me eat alone.

Your udon will get cold."

"Then eat quickly. Ah."

Oh, this is a friendly thing.... Once again, I can tell they are truly good friends.
