Vol 2 Chapter 102 (2/2)

Seeing such a spectacle, Blair, who had succu exposed to a huge task for the branch at a festival stall, laughed at hihts

“They are good children”

“W-well yeah… wait, unfaithfulness is no good though okay!?”

There was that kind of an exchange as he parted fro hispered into her ear, Rachelle grew obedient like a meek cat and saw him off

Although Ilya and Ria continued to tease her even after Blair had left, Rachelle’s smile never faded from her face

With the sky slowly subht with the naan to twinkle, instead of sweets,dishes suitable for liquor and cooking that did well at the branch Time passed on by with a so off their brand nen at special special prices pay off? With their newly constructed inns packed to the briuests, this first day of the Construction Completion Festival could be said to be a major success

And then it was the next day

“Don’t you think this is a little cruel?”

“Right…”

As it had beco the stall had alternated

It was just barely the time between breakfast and lunch after they had started business for the day Cynthia and Clarice, who had been placed into a situation of being busy from the start, had quickly requested help

“I don’t particularly mind, but…”

The one who couldn’t help but answer as such was Ilya, who had just arrived, carrying additional foodstuffs

As custoed over to them as soon as they opened the stall, they iredients

They were anxious over it turning into a situation where they ran out of ingredients since soextra ingredients that were particularly popular with customers on the first day

Due to the second day’sa theatrical troupe at the central plaza, the stalls’ clerks were all able to savor a little relaxation as the amount of customers abated It was the same for Ilya and them’s stall as well

Ilya finished bringing additional foodstuffs, with Clarice preparing the ingredients and Cynthia standing at the stall’s front as the salesclerk

Clarice exchanged so up the area a little after preparing every possible ingredient, but their topic changed as she suddenly thought of so

“By the way, Ilya-chan”

“What is it?”

“That powdered ”

“Is that so?”

Even though the subject was soh for the two to talk about

Clarice faced Ilya at with an angle that custo into a smile

“Recently, there’s been so their authority, so I think it will be h since it seeood to be true, what do you think?”

“I don’t know I just want for technology to ie I don’t know about anything else and I have no intention to interfere either”

“Really? Soy that hadn’t been known so far, but then just casually giving it away for free by teaching it to everyone…”

“” Ufufufufu “”

Special technologies

Swordplay, y, without fail, there were people that would appear to steal them

Sometimes as disciples, sometimes as business rivals… and sometimes, as spies

Clarice, as a birdkin branch staff uild to investigate the Lunéville branch’s cooking secrets that had become the talk of the town, a so-called spy

Naturally, her true identity had ih Ilya’s [God’s Eyes], but she tolerated it As she’d just said, for her, technology wasn’t so to be monopolized, but to be shared with everyone It was due to this thought that cultures could be urged forward

Although Clarice had chosen to live as a resident of Lunéville after many twists and turns, Ilya utilized Clarice’s position as a spy to just pour cooking technology into her

This was both Ilya’s wish, as well as Clarice’s They both yearned for Lunéville’s tranquility

It was a give and take

“” Fufufufu “”

Laughing today as well, they wereeach other’s positions

(T-those two’s smiles feel scary somehow…)

Cynthia, who felt as though it was soerous, looked between the two back and forth She decided to concentrate on serving custo

“Excuse me, could I have two of each?”

“Ah, yes I’ll give theht now”

Putting six skewers into a paper cup, she handed thee for their cost Quickly looking around with a wry s man had short red hair that stood out

“Isn’t it a little hard doing this alone?”

“Eh? No, I’ turns with two others”

“… Is that so? If you say so, that must be how it is”

The youth, having spoken with an attractive smile, disappeared back into the crowd as he left

She didn’t really understand what he was trying to say at the end there, but when she looked back towards Ilya and Clarice that were talking about so as usual, the two probably looked like they weren’t focusing on their tasks

(… Un, that’s probably it!)

After all, not knohat the tere speaking about while she was handling her turn in the rotation, and otten before she knew it because it was so busy

She had forgotten, but it was to her benefit

That she had forgotten so nore skill

At any rate, in this way, the Construction Co with the branch’s food stall

Ria and the other clerks talked about events that they were and weren’t able to go see with each other

“Oh…? I… wasn’t able to look around on either day of the festival…”

Everyone there averted their gaze when Ilya murmured those words

“Pi?”

Feeling the change in the room’s mood, Haku’s innocent voice filled the silence
