"Thank you. I'm back."
As soon as Gosh knocked on the front door, the door opened and the village chief popped out.
"Oh, thank you! Please wait while dinner is almost ready. Let's go inside!
Follow Gosh into the house. There were few things in the house and I felt it was wider than the exterior of the house. There's a noise coming from the back room, but apparently the village chief's family is cooking in the kitchen.
The village chief looks at me as he draws us into the house.
"Did you say Marc? You showed me the slide! I wonder if magic can even make such a thing. Let me use it in my village!
That way, you hold my hand and keep shaking. It would have been worth it if you'd been so happy. But I'm going to lose my arm if you don't help me a little.
"Your stepfather, he's in trouble."
I wonder if the cooking has come to an end, or if there are women around 40 years old coming out from behind. Sanmina appeared on his face. Is she Sanmina's mother? The village chief let go of me.
"Oh? Oh, sorry! Too much force! So, what do you say? How about cooking?"
"Almost there. Well then, gentlemen, please sit down and wait."
The woman shows the next room in her palm. It was furnished with a large table and lots of chairs.
As she sat in the chair and waited, the woman continued to bring the food to the table. After a while, a man of rough stature came with a plate. I have a small child next to me. And he briefly introduced himself to me and Nicolas.
The man is Santana, the late son of the village chief and Sanmina's father. It seems to be operating in agriculture. And the woman back there was still Sanmina's mother, and now only the village chief and Santana live in the house.
The remaining sons of the village chief and the children of Santana each have their own family.
What a three-year-old girl she is. She keeps her baby at home while she works.
Sanmina said she was sixteen, but do you have a three-year-old daughter? This is a terrible world.
When I look at Sanmina's daughter, the village chief explains with a delicate face.
"Isn't she cute? I've been a grandson for a long time. I was hoping to do something for you, so I heard from Mr. Gosh about Seesaw. That's why I asked you. I'm really glad that I was able to climb to the slide with my dick ~"
The village chief strokes Sanmina's daughter's head. After that, while listening to her grandson, she waited for the food to be ready, and Sanmina jumped into the house with her breath out.
"We made it! I'll eat with you today! I haven't heard enough about magic yet!
Apparently, he pushed me to listen to the magic.
"Calm down now. What happened to your husband?
"If Kai had eaten light in preparation for the night monster fishery, he would have left right away! I'm Mermina ~"
Sanmina answered with her daughter in her arms.
"I hope so. I suppose you know your customers."
"I took you around the village after noon! That sucks....."
San Mina Mama sighs.
"You skipped it again... I don't even know if my husband loves me."
"Kai is in love with me, so it's okay! Miss Gosh, Delica, I'm sorry I couldn't say hello earlier! I'm completely obsessed with magic ~"
Sanmina sat down beside Delica.
"Delica! You've grown up before you even look at it. Isn't it about time you got one or two of the guys you like?
"Already! That's all they ask me today! It's not too soon for me!
Gosh messed with me so I got angry.
"It's not too soon. By the time I was Delica-Chan's age, I had already decided to marry Kai, and I was already hiding in the shadow of the rock, little by little..."
When Delica heard that, her face turned bright red, and Sanmina's mom smacked Sanmina's head.
"There are also small children, so please stop. More than that, the dishes are ready."
There are many dishes lined up at the table. Because of the smell, I don't think I'm crazy anymore. Grilled squid, fried squid rings, stewed squid tomatoes, marinated squid and squid festival.
"Oh, well, let's get started!
Everyone at the table. The village chief speaks for himself.
"Thank you so much for today. With seesaw and slides made by Gosh and the others, the village's children will grow up healthy and refreshed. So today I prepared a small thanksgiving banquet. Please eat, drink and enjoy it to your heart's content!
At the end of the village chief's mouth, everyone started eating together.
Good!
Gosh whispered with a squid ring. And I started drinking Yale happily.
Then I'll take it too. Just like Gosh, it goes from squid ring to mouth. Moog... gokun.
--Umayi! And this texture and flavor! This is crazy! Definitely!
I knew the tentacles I was talking about were crazy. Rather, the taste seems to be slightly stronger than squid, so this one is more delicious. I wonder if the mana contained in the monster is influenced.
By the way, there was no sashimi on the table. I thought people who loved squid were going to dance and eat too much, but it seems that there was no one who ate the flesh of monsters.
Looking at the next seat, Nicolas is also eating squid dishes in a state of confusion. "I knew it was crazy," she said. I'm busy now, so this is it. "
Looking at the opposite seat, Delica ate more of the food in front of her. It seems to be a well-known fact that Delica is not good at squid, and another dish was prepared.
This is how a pleasant meal continued. Sanmina tells me about magic, and I hear about life in the village. After all, there are different habits from the town, and it was fun to just listen.
In the course of the conversation, I also asked for a tour of the monster fishery, and Sanmina took me after dinner.
The meal was thus finished. It's been a long time since squid dishes have been very delicious.
Well then, it's time to go!
After a slow meal break, Sanmina calls out to us.
Nicolas was going to accompany me, and Delica wanted to invite me, but the current squid dish seems to have shredded the SAN value, so I pulled it into the bedroom as early as possible.
Uncle, I'll go for a while.
The three men surrounded the table and drank a little too much.
"Oh, be careful!
"Sanmina, be careful not to endanger the children."
"Yeah, let me handle it!
Sanmina opened the front door with one hand on the lantern, and we followed.
――――――
When I left the house, the area was completely dark. Only the thin lights leaking from the windows of the house and the moon light floating in the sky illuminate the surroundings.
I thought it would be unforgivable to have only one lantern in Sanmina, so I lit my feet and Nicolas with a magical light. I told Sanmina that I could use light magic in the chat, so Sanmina didn't say anything just by turning her eyes.
Go through the woods in the same way as during the day. Sanmina opens her mouth when she thinks it's time to get out.
"It's time to turn off the magic of lighting. I'll turn off the lantern, so watch your step."
I wondered, but turn off the light as told. And he went forward relying only on the moonlight.
Through the forest, the vast lake spreads to the present day just as it did when it arrived at noon. But the moonlit lake doesn't see the ship.
I saw people moving on the land side about ten meters from the coast. Apparently, the men are poking an unfired pine beam on the ground. A few meters side-by-side, the same kind of torch continues at even intervals.
And around Matsuaki, more than a dozen men had spears about three meters long, watching the preparations for Matsuaki.
"It's time to start."
Shortly after Sanmina said that, a man clapped a tree or something like a piece of wood, Khan Khan Khan Khan! A high sound echoed to the lake. At the same time a flame will be lit by the torch.
Fire swings from the side by side of the torch. Even after the torch is lit, the clapping tree does not stop ringing.
Khan, Khan, Khan!
Around Matsuaki, men with spears sat down deep looking at the lake and looked like they were waiting for something.
What the hell is going on?
