Tucked within it, wrapped in no less than five layers of extremely polite phrasing, was a gentle request—to share some of our village’s harvest for his wife, Metora.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frankly, if it was just about that, it’d be faster for Metora herself to write the letter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But apparently, now that she’s a married woman, it wouldn’t be proper for her to correspond directly with men other than her husband.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although… I could’ve sworn I’d received quite a number of letters from married individuals before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to them, if it’s for official business, then it’s acceptable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-0-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We considered having Hakuren or Rasuti deliver it, but figured that might make the other side uncomfortable, so we left it to the Goroun Company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon checking, it is being transported from Village Five without any problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And from what I heard, the transport is taking a sea route from Shashaato City, rather than using the teleportation gates, due to congestion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That means the delivery will be taking longer than usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll keep an eye on it… but for now, we wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-0-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As we made our preparations for winter, I spent some peaceful time with Zabuton and her spiderlings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of them go into hibernation once winter sets in, so now is the time to enjoy their company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, “company” mostly means I put on a solo fashion show, and worry aloud about Ursa…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeah, I really am worried about Ursa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If anything happens to her, just leave her be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, I’m hoping nothing happens at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-0-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe because I was bonding with the Zabuton and the spiderlings, Kuro came over, wanting attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I rubbed his belly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His head, under his chin, his thighs… oh, his thighs are firmer than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Impressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even his stomach’s flatter than it used to be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He must be working hard when no one’s watching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I praised him, Kuro looked a bit proud of himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though… Fracia seemed a little annoyed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haha, don’t mind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fracia seems perfectly content when she’s fussing over the angels’ wings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You know, the angel can be divided into “active” and “inactive” types…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malbit and Ruincia have been racking their brains over this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apparently, no one can stop Fracia from going over to the inactive ones, and once she’s there, she just keeps rubbing their wings nonstop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frau and Holy, who’ve been helping look after the angels, are having a hard time dealing with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not that I mind her visiting them, but… yeah, just endlessly kneading their wings? It’s a little concerning for the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of Holy, I heard she went back to Beezel’s estate recently and did an outstanding job.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She immediately straightened up everything that had grown lax in her absence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There hadn’t been any wrongdoing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Holy’s strict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Beezel himself got a lecture and was told to clean up his act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’d better watch myself, or I might be next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While I was thinking about all that and petting Kuro, Yuki came over and nudged him with her nose, it was her turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuro reluctantly gave up his spot, and Yuki flopped down, belly-up, right in front of me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I rubbed her favorite spots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-0-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attempt to transport goods to the Six Dragon God Kingdom by sea had failed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apparently, a massive sea demon beast had appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ship that had set sail from Shashato encountered the demon beast and was forced to turn back in a panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed no other ships would be departing for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of that, the Goroun Company had given up on sea transport and decided to use the teleportation gate instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the shipment had already reached the fortress near the royal capital, it should be delivered within the next few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I heard all this from Miyo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, it would have been Goroun Company or Youko who delivered such a report, but Miyo had come to convey an emergency request for aid from Shashato.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Normally, demon beasts like that would be handled by the seakins… but this time, it’s beyond their ability」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Were there casualties among the seakins?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Yes. The sea people near Shashato gathered and tried to drive it off, but they were defeated instead.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「They’ve informed us that they’ll be hiding until the massive sea demon beast is gone」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’ll send some relief funds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「A small amount will do. Most of them have already come ashore and are playing around in Village Five」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this not a serious situation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Such things are fairly common in the sea」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「There was a similar case before. At that time, Rasuti-sama dealt with it」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rasuti?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Yes. It was before I was stationed in Shashato. A huge sea demon beast approached the city, and since Michael-sama from the Goroun Company happened to be with Rasuti-sama, he asked her to take care of it」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah, right. That must have been around the time the mountain elf Ya and the others arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「So we were hoping we could ask Rasuti-sama again for help」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s ask Rasuti.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As I said that, someone struck a dramatic pose in the corner of my vision, as if to say, “Here stands someone you can count on.” It was Girar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you saying you’ll go?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「On one condition」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then forget it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’ll ask Rasuti.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Wait, wait, wait! Just hear me out!」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What is it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, I already know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「The truth is… there was a little incident with Guronde」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I figured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did you two get into a fight?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「It wasn’t a fight. Just a slight disagreement」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, what’s the condition for you to go?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「I’d like you to get me some dried persimmons」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dried persimmons?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You mean the persimmons harvested in autumn that are left to dry?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They shouldn’t be fully dried yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Indeed. They weren’t sweet」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you’re saying they weren’t sweet… does that mean you already ate some?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「It just happened. Well, they weren’t sweet, but the astringency had a strange charm to it. They went well with alcohol」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So you like that bitter aftertaste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll give you some burdock root next time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「I’d appreciate that」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But would something like that really make Guronde mad?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「I ate all of the drying persimmons…」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「She told me not to come home until I brought back more dried persimmons」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You tried to do something about it, but aside from Big Tree Village, there aren’t many astringent persimmons available.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And on top of that, all the ones in Big Tree Village are being used exclusively by Rasuti to make dried persimmons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only exceptions were the ones given out to those who helped Rasuti during the harvest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ones Guronde had were from that batch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Please. If this keeps up, I won’t be able to go home until next year」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, Rasuti makes a lot every year, so if I ask, I’m sure she’ll share some…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「What is it?」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, it’s just… whether it’s asking her to slay a giant sea beast or asking for dried persimmons, I’m still going to have to ask Rasuti either way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Don’t say that. Think of it as helping this Dark Dragon Girar!」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fine, fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll ask Rasuti to share some dried persimmons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Thank you. In return, leave the sea demon beast to me. I’ll slay it before the day is done」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sooner the better, but don’t overdo it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you get hurt, Guronde will scold me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「This Dark Dragon Girar will never lose to some sea demon beast. …But still, I appreciate your concern. I’ll be careful」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Girar transformed into his dragon form, no, he used the teleportation gate while still in human form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could tell that more than wanting to slay the beast quickly, he wanted to make up with Guronde as soon as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he returns, I should go ask Rasuti.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, I asked Miyo to contact Shashato.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since it looked like Girar was going to take care of the issue, we didn’t want to cause a fuss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miyo gave a quick nod and rushed after Girar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-0-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Girar returned in his dragon form, clutching a large chunk of meat frozen in ice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked like he’d successfully defeated the demon beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging by the color, shape, and taste of the meat… was the massive sea demon beast a tuna?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was delicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-0-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guronde:「Why would you eat all of the not-yet-sweet dried persimmons when there are already sweet ones!?」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Girar:「S-sorry」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-0-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dwarf:「That bitterness goes well with alcohol… I see」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Girar:「You understand?」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dwarf:「…I get it a little, but astringent persimmons are too harsh, right? I couldn’t stomach them」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Girar:「No no, they’re totally fine」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guronde:「……」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Girar:「Astringent persimmons aren’t meant to be eaten.
