We currently do have drugs and other er, but for so and innovative The process of speeding up the ripening of materials is actually very useful for adventurers and surveyors of territories Eating is soood is always a welcothis would create enormous wealth for whoever was to sell this officially Totalent that backs it up, while also being able to keep developing new medicines worthy of praise from anyoneIt is just that the people who made it have such bad personali- wait no They are nice people, have a good head on their shoulders, and do know both conate everyone in terms of family for soe

”The world is full of wonder”(Doyle)

”So, you believe what I said about those two?”(Leo)

”Yes”(Doyle)

”Master Doyle! Here is the soup!”(Ballad)

”Thank you”(Doyle)

While thinking about the twins and talking with Leo about it, I have co to talk about them a little bit more, but Ballad has finished the soup thus, it is ti for my opinion with hopeful eyes If I say it is bad, he will say that he o on journey to study culinary arts froive him my honest opinion

”It is delicious”(Doyle)

As I say that, he puts the soup in four more bowls and heads towards Gray and the others to deliver the soup As I was follow Ballad with my eyes, they met with Jin's and he notices me happily

”Master Doyle, Leopardo! Please coether!”(Jin)

As I aain, I hear shouts froether

”Well, ill you do?”(Leo)

”I have to accept, it would be weirder to refuse?”(Doyle)

Gray finally looks this way and turns his eyes towards this direction It is quite aard I have to say, but it cannot be avoided I feel if I do not go at this moment, I will completely sever our connection as friends I have to clear up whatever probleo”(Doyle)

When I say that, Leo gets up, comes up to me, and puts his hand on my head He ruffles s his head in close to !?”(Doyle)

”Don't try to act so tough,”(Leo)

Has he been beside me this whole ti care of various things forthe campbecause he noticednoticed that just now Leo is always being a big brother isn't he I feel a sort of sibling love that I feel I cannot repay

Waitwas it obvious that I a at a separate fire with a bad excuse, and Jin who keeps bothering me to come over to his side were both done with a specific purpose in mind Even the twinsActually I do not know about that Whether they are just going with the flow or have actually noticed it but that is besides the point The possibility of everyone noticing itHow stupid a and Ballad's words from the match and feel my embarrasso!

Blanc being extra close toand the expressions on Luce's and Eleanor's faces were all of because of this reason I remember the words of Ballad after my match with Lute and feel evenaway because of how confident I was in ht I pretended to be fine well, but I was horribly mistaken Everyone noticed that I was in a terrible state Even though Ieveryone not worry about me, I made them worry even more Moreover, they just silently watched overof eh the only way to get rid of this feeling would be to screaht noould be labeled as a cohts As I look at everyone while thinking about these things again, I see Gray staring at aze this ti at rins atDoyle? Corin he says that I cannot say anything back to hi forabout meI really want to run away from this place now
