Tensei Shite Inaka de Slowlife wo Okuritai - Chapter 578

Buy directly from Lazur

　After taking a break and drinking some chai, I headed over to Rasha's shop, which sells spices.

　Last time when I came to buy spices, Salva, Shanaria, and Baghdad were waiting for me, but I hope they won't be there this time.

　Since they are royalty, they probably don't have that much free time.

"Welcome! Ah, it's Salva-sama's friend...!"

　As soon as I entered the store, Rasha came over and let out a cry of surprise as soon as she saw me.

"I'm sorry I seemed to be pushing you out last time. Salva-sama asked me to."

"No, it's fine. Actually, I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

　It must have been very stressful for Rasha and the others to have the second prince stay with his guards in a commoner's shop.

"No, I feel lucky because I got a lot of money. And Salva-sama is handsome!"

"Oh, I see."

　I thought she would be very bothered by being embroiled in the trouble with Salva, but it seems to have been a good development for her.

　Yeah, they seem to have a strong business sense and don't seem to mind at all.

"By the way, you're not here today, are you?"

"No! But I was told to ask the guards out when I came to the store."

"...Can I just buy some spices and then go home?"

"If I do that, the reward to the store will be reduced and I'll get in trouble, so please don't do that."

　Apparently Salva is giving this store money in order to get in contact with me.

　How much you want to meet me.

"Well, if I can get back by evening then there's no problem so I'll just stay here quietly."

"Yay, thank you! This will make me a big winner this month!"

　After telling them she could stay for a while, Rasha happily stepped out onto the street and called out to the patrolling guards.

　When the guard blew his whistle, the sound echoed all around.

"I think Salva or one of the guards will come now."

"I, I see."

　I'm scared that they've created a system where my mere presence can have an impact on the entire city's guards.

"Shall I finish my shopping first?"

"Yes, I'd like five jars each of cumin, cumin seeds, coriander, and turmeric."

"That much?! Didn't you buy quite a bit before?"

"I used it all up in my cooking research."

"That's right. You can buy a lot, so I'll give you a discount and charge you ten gold coins."

"thank you"

　It's a considerable discount of five silver coins, but I guess it's also a way of thanking me for staying here.

　Rasha bottles each spice and then boxes them up.

　I paid ten gold coins as payment and received a box of spices.

　The price was this high because I bought a lot for storage, but if you think of it as a fixed amount, the three gold coins that Eleonora gave me were enough to buy it.

　Now you can make as much curry as you want.

　As I thought, the best way to get spices is to teleport to Lazuul and buy them directly.

"Well, I've finished my business, so I'll go home."

"Eh, wait! That's not what we said!"

　If you get spices, they're yours.

　As I headed towards the entrance, a huge man appeared, blocking my path.

"...That's right. I don't want Al to go home."

　Baghdad stretched out both his arms and picked up the wooden box of spices I was holding.

"Ugh, Baghdad! Give it back!"

"No."

　He tried to jump to get it back, but the huge man, over two meters tall, used both arms to push the box away from him, leaving him powerless.

　He uses his psychic powers to try and use magic to take it back, but Baghdad instantly covers the wooden box with magic and resists.

　While surprised that there was such a way for psychics to defend themselves, he strengthened his magical powers in order to forcibly take control.

"Ngh...!"

　Perhaps realizing that I was trying to paint over his magical power, Baghdad strengthened his magical power and resisted with a grim expression on his face.

　However, since my magical power is greater than his in terms of quantity and mass, I am able to push Baghdad's magical power aside.

"W-wait a second! If you unleash that kind of magical power, the store will go bust!"

　When I came back to my senses at the sound of Rasha's voice, the air in the shop was trembling and the shelves were shaking so much that bottles were about to fall.

　It seems that the aftereffects were caused by the collision of dense magical powers.

　As expected, we didn't want to physically cause trouble for the store, so we decided to quickly put away our magical powers.

"Sorry. I got a bit carried away."

"...Sorry."

"Your playfulness is too advanced!"

　If they were serious about fighting over the wooden box, they would just need to use different magic.

　The reason I didn't do that was simply because I enjoyed testing my strength as a wizard.

"I've never been resisted by a psychic like that before."

"Even though I resisted, I was about to lose control to him so easily. That's what you'd expect from Al."

　We congratulate each other on our good performance and smile.

　There was a sense of comfort because we both respected each other.

"Can I get back the spices I bought?"

"If I give it back, Al will run away. So, I'll keep it for myself."

　Baghdad sat down in a nearby chair and placed a wooden box at his feet.

　Because of the chair legs, it would be difficult to pull it out instantly even if you used psychic powers.

"So, Salva wants to meet me?"

　I look around but the only person I see entering the store is Baghdad; Salva and Shanaria are nowhere to be seen.

"...Lord Salva is teaching the soldiers swordsmanship. Please wait here for a little while longer."

"Salva's swordsmanship?"

"Lord Salva has trained first-class in the Lazul Royal Palace swordsmanship."

　I don't know how impressive first-class rank is, but I couldn't imagine the prodigal prince teaching swordsmanship to others.

"For now, Salva will be delayed due to this swordsmanship training."

"ah"

"How long? I have to be back around evening..."

"They'll arrive within the hour."

　If I was told to wait for about half a day, I would have gone home without question, but is it possible to wait for that long?

"By the way, were you able to make a Darry back home?"

"Oh, yeah! I was able to make it thanks to Baghdad! It was so well received by my family and friends that I ran out of spices in no time."

"...I see. That's good to hear."

　Baghdad has a blank look on his face, but if you look closely you can see the corners of his mouth turn up.

　It seems like he's happy in his own way.

"That's right. I've developed a recipe. Would you like to try it?"

　I haven't had lunch so I'm getting hungry.

　Since Salva won't be coming for a while anyway, I'd like to hear his thoughts on the Daly bread, or curry bread, that he's been secretly developing at home.

"Did you use Darry?"

"Yeah"

"I'm interested. Please let me try it."

　Hearing about Dally's new menu, Baghdad stands up in interest.

　That's settled.

"Rasha, I'm going to borrow the kitchen for a bit."

"If you're going to cook dinner, please make a share for me too!"

"Okay."

　We entered the employee space at the back and decided to go into the kitchen behind that.

　Since this is a spice shop, the kitchen is stocked with a wide variety of spices.

　There couldn't be a better kitchen to make dari than this.
