94-084 Rest (1) (1/2)

As soon as we got back to town, we went to Aella's store to make an appointment, but fortunately the store was busy and we didn't get a reservation until three days later.

Aella apologized to us, but it's good to know that the shop is thriving. To be honest, it would have been painful if the restaurant had gone out of business after I had advised him.

We were told that the budget was negotiable, but we asked for 20 gold coins for five people. Ms. Aella was quite surprised, but we told her that it was a celebration and paid in advance.

From our point of view, 20 gold coins is not a bad price ......, but it is a good price for an occasional celebration. From now on, we can't be extravagant because there are no more orcs (gold vines).

Don't forget your original intention. You should always keep in mind the time when you had only 1,000 rares and could not even buy a change of clothes.

The next morning, after my regular training, I was feeling a bit bored.

I don't have any plans, to be frank.

Hey, what are you and Natsuki doing today?

”Us?　We're going to buy some fabric.

We're going to buy some cloths.

She said that if she had time to spare, she would buy some cloth and make some clothes.

I'm still making simple things on my own, but the number is still small, and winter is coming. The idea seems to be that we should make clothes for the season as well.

”If you don't mind, Nao-kun, would you like to come too?

”Oh, I'm sorry, no thanks.

In Japan, I often went along with the women to avoid trouble, but to be honest, I don't really enjoy going along with the women choosing clothes. It's nice when they show me their cute clothes, but when it goes on for hours, it's really tiring.

It won't take that long just to go and look at the cloth, but you can't be too careful. It will probably take much longer than I'm expecting.

There's not much trouble in this town.

It's a safe town, and no one will get involved with a woman who is dressed as an adventurer.

”If I make your clothes, Nao, will you wear them?

”Of course. As long as it's not too outlandish, I'll be happy.

Thank you very much. I'll do my best!

If you're going to make it, I should be the one to thank you, but since Natsuki looks happy, I guess it doesn't matter.

Thanks to her sewing skills, the clothes that Natsuki and her friends make are well made, and although the designs are not so noticeable here, they are much more comfortable than the ready-made clothes that we buy here. There was no reason to refuse.

However, it is a little puzzling that they give me samue and yukata as loungewear, whether as a joke or something else. I don't have any problem with them for practical use, but whose hobby is it?

”Hmm, the ladies are shopping .......

I'd like to go shopping too, but I don't have what I need.

There are food stalls and such, which would normally be enjoyable, but there is no point if you know that almost 100% of the food will be bad.

If you just look at the ingredients at the morning market, it might help you a little. .......

What are your plans, Toya?

”I don't have any plans either. What do you have in mind?

I wouldn't be asking if I did.

You could train in magic, but that would defeat the purpose of relaxing.

No, there's no need to be picky, but it's something.

You want to go to Hatake's?

”Field ......?

I remember you saying you were going to make a vegetable garden.

We already have land. The house isn't built yet, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to start now.

A vegetable garden sounds like a hobby to me.

Right?　Fortunately, we have land, a hoe and a shovel!

”Hoe ......, the first one you bought. After we got the shovel, we didn't need it anymore.

Yeah, yeah. After all, you need it for plowing.

A shovel is handy for digging holes, but a hoe is better for field work.

You can use a shovel to dig holes, but a hoe is more useful for plowing.

No, if it's a vegetable garden, wouldn't it be better to have some blocks to divide it like a flower bed?

That's also true, isn't it?

My image of a vegetable garden is that it's a square enclosure with blocks and soil, and crops are planted there.

If you turn your garden into a field without any boundaries, it's not exactly what you think of as a vegetable garden.

”Blocks. They don't sell them, do they?

”Well, no. We'll just use rocks.

Okay.

No one would complain if you went out of town to pick it up.

Unless it is a quarry.

Normally it would be hard to carry, but we have magic bags. There is no problem.

Let's go pick it up then!

”Yeah!

We grinned and headed out of the city in high spirits.

We went out of town.

”...... Hey, Nao. I'm glad you're jumping out at me, but where do you think the stone is?

...... That's a tough question.

When you leave the east gate, you will see a meadow. If you walk along the road, you will see a forest, but I don't remember any rocky places.

It's not that there aren't rocks lying around in the grasslands, but they are few and far between and not as easy to gather as blocks.
