「Yeah, it’s okay. Also, I have a carriage. Do you have stables or something? 」
Without waiting for a reply, Miri takes Souta's hand and goes out.
「Wahhh! Is this Souta’s horse-drawn carriage? Horse-san is so big! 」
Souta notices that and also strokes Edward.
「Now then, can you guide me?」
Remembering she was in the middle of guiding Souta, she stops and heads toward the back of the inn.
「There is a carriage storage inside, may I ask you to leave it there? Now, I will open the lock.」
「Please put your carriage next to the one there. Once placed, horse-san can go to the stall over there.」
Souta moves the carriage to the place instructed by Miri and removes the carriage from Edward.
There are several other animals in the stalls. Edward is taken to one of the vacant stalls.
「He already ate in the morning and afternoon. I'll leave the evening meal to you. Should I pay the fee to the receptionist? 」
「From evening, then. I understand. Please give the money to my mother.」
「Well then, Edward, I'm going to the inn, so don’t make a racket.」
「Fine, fine, see you tomorrow then.」
「Ed-kun is it … Amazing, it's like Souta-san and Ed-kun are having a proper conversation.」
Edward, who seems to like having his name abbreviated, approaches Miri.
Miri says that while stroking Ed’s head.
「Ah, yes. I will return after I see the conditions of other horses.」
Souta goes around the inn, back to the entrance. Milfana welcomes him when he goes to the reception table.
「Yeah, it'll be for two days, same as how long I’m staying. Is it two silver coins? 」
「…… It’s the right amount. If it seems that it will be extended, it will be fine if you say it by the day after tomorrow morning.」
「Yes, be careful.」
Milfana bows and sees Souta out with a smile.
Upon leaving the inn, Souta walks toward the alchemist shop.
To prevent the medicines from deteriorating due to sunlight, most of the potions have their content replaced with water to just be decorations.
When Souta goes inside, the bell on the door rings.
「Welcome. If there's anything you need, we will prepare it.」
「No, I don't want any goods. I want to borrow your equipment. There's something I want to make.」
She asks while tilting her head.
「That is… … I'll tell your grandma if I can borrow it. Try asking her for the time being.」
She doesn’t look convinced, but still enters the store to ask.
Souta waits while looking at the genuine potions that are showcased, the ones that didn't have their content replaced with water. After a while, a woman comes from the back.
「So it’s you? The one who wants to borrow our equipment.」
From behind the woman, the previous clerk appears.
「This is my grandmother I mentioned before.」
Souta is stunned. Normally the word grandmother is associated with old women.
It’s obvious when looking at her ears, but it takes Souta a while to notice because he was perplexed by the discrepancy between words, imagination and reality.
「I am Carenalien, the grandmother of this girl. Call me Carena.」
Elves are long-lived. Their aging drastically slows after reaching adulthood. They need to be quite old to look like Carena.
「I’m Souta, an adventurer. I already said this to Elmia before, but I want to borrow your alchemy equipment because there's something I want to create.」
Souta hesitates to say it.
「Be relieved, I am tight-lipped. Of course, this girl is too.」
Most elves he has met so far have a sense of obligation to keep secrets.
「I can’t say the reason, but I want to make ambrosia for Stone Fever.」
「…That surprised me. You mean that ambrosia that you need materials from a dragon to create? It may sound rude, but you don’t look like you have such a thing.」
「Now, now, don’t judge people just by their appearance. For now, the materials are complete … I think. I also know how to make it … probably.」
「What's with that, so unreliable… I understand, we will lend you the equipment and even the wisdom you lack.」
「Is it okay?」
Carena pushes out her chest and strikes it. Those breasts that are not of the size of what elven breasts should be shake greatly.
Uttering reliable words, Carena heads to the back of the store with Souta.
They enter a large room with various instruments installed there.
