337 # 320 Pursuit of Lily and the Horse of the Holy Beast.txt (1/2)

The next day, I log in to find Lily and Aeon waiting for me in addition to Aster, who slept with me. For some reason, they look at me in silence.

''W-what's up?''

Tact... you're hiding something from Lily and the others, aren't you?

Geez.

What are you talking about?

When I fall in love with him, Ion pursues him.

'You didn't give the dragon breath instructions in yesterday's battle, did you?

'Oh. I figured you wouldn't have to use it. It would have been fine actually, wouldn't it?

'Yes. But we could definitely do some serious damage.

I knew Ion was sharp.

'You wouldn't have used everyone's trump card if you said that, would you?

'I see... you didn't direct your trump card for excuses, did you?

That's not possible.

If we were in a stiff battle or if we were inevitably lacking in strength, we had no choice but to use it.

But it wasn't a mistake not to use it as an excuse.

''...You really don't want to talk about it? Then I don't have any choice. Lily!

Yeah!

Lily takes up a position at the door.

'I won't let you out of the room if you don't talk to me!　Tact.

That's coming... but it's sweet.

I'm good.

”Oh, what?

I take out the ice machine I replaced. I look at the description.

icemaker: critical item

A machine that produces ice of high purity. The quality changes with the water used.

Hmm. So it uses water. Well, then, to test it out, I put in some natural water from Yellow Ossa, pressed a button, and the ice was made. Appraisal.

Ice: Rare Level 3 Cooking Quality B

Frozen water. It is highly pure and is used to make cold drinks and cold dishes.

I knew you could make a cold drink! I'll have to make this one, but first, a shaved ice. Take out the manual shaved ice machine you replaced.

Manual Shaved Ice Machine: Important Items

A machine for making shaved ice. The quality of the ice changes depending on the ice used.

Now, you set the ice you just made and a plate, turn the handle, and the shaved ice is made.

What's that...looks good...

'Da, no!　Lilly!　If you lose, you can't!

But, Aeon...

Nuh-uh-uh.

Yeah. But it's not over yet. Finally, some maple syrup.

”What?

Done! Appraisal.

Shaved Ice: Rare 5 Cuisine Quality C-

Effect:Recovery of 10% of fullness, 2 hours magic power(large), 2 hours heat resistance

Reika is made of finely shaved ice. Maple syrup is used and it is very sweet and delicious. It has a cooling effect on the body and makes you want to eat it on a hot day.

It looks so delicious. I take out my spoon.

Itadakimasu~

Uh-oh.

I eat a memorable first shaved ice in front of Lily and the others.

'Yum!'

Perfect. A perfect shaved ice. It's perfect. You know, sometimes food terrorism happens, but this is a really good reproduction. And then Astel comes in and says.

”I've got something good to eat!

I'm proud of it. Want some?

'Of course!　Ahh~. Hmm~!　It's sweet, cold, and delicious!

””......”

Astell has a big smile on her face while the two of them are about to cry. I'm really vulnerable to this.

'See,'

Ha, talk to me or I won't eat!

What?　Aeon Chan~

Lily looks pathetic. Aeon, who is strong, is also drooling with tears in her eyes, and the situation is unintelligible.

'I'll talk to you properly. Come on, let's talk over shaved ice.

”Wow!

I eat the shaved ice first. I'm still a kid. Well, when you have shaved ice in front of you, you'd think that's what's going to happen. Now, let's talk.

First of all, do you remember the last time Lily and Ion grew up?

He patted me on the head with his tact!

That's not what you're talking about...

Aeon seemed to know what to expect. And I still don't remember that one...I guess I'll have to talk about it now that I've decided to talk about it.

Last time I saw Lily and her friends growing up, they were different, they were unconscious.

What?

Is that true?

'Oh...'

I speak without meaning to.

'I looked into the eyes of the unconscious Lilly and the others, and they looked like dragons... and when I regained consciousness, I was cured, but I couldn't shake the sense of urgency.

'I'm sorry that happened... but I wish you had told me about those things sooner.

You've got to get over your Tact's secret habits.

'That's no good. Takt Dad.

Lily told me that she doesn't fix the big swing attack every time. Furthermore, even Aster...I know, I know, but I can't help but keep it a secret, can I?

Maybe Lily and I are similar in that we don't easily fix things that need to be fixed, as you might expect.

I understand what you're saying. So what do we do now?

Since this isn't going to work, I'm going to go ask the Beast Demon Guild for a bit.

””I'm coming with you!”

So when I went outside to head to the Beast Demon Guild to hear about that mysterious phenomenon, everyone found out that I had eaten shaved ice and they were all friendly and angry at me.
