131. Laios Mountains (1)

Soy nervously washed the mud off his face in a nearby creek.

His face turned red with shame.

Seeing her sloppy reflection on the surface of the water, she tore her hair with both hands.

“Quaaang! What a shame!”

His limbs shriveled when he thought of how he would have looked in front of people a moment ago.

It was camouflage, and the inside of his clothes and hair were swollen as if they were bursting with various wild grasses stuffed into them.

He smeared mud on his face so that the skin color was not visible.

Even without stopping there, he even had a long vine wrapped around his waist to prevent falling, so it was understandable even if he didn’t see it.

“I must have looked at you as a crazy kid… … . let’s die die. Soy Spoon… … .”

With the light gone from Soyi’s eyes, he plunged his head into the valley.

bubbling

“…”

Then, he raised his head and screamed.

“pooh! In the first place, this is all because of that person!!”

Would he have suffered such an embarrassing situation if he hadn’t left himself in the first place?

no.

If I had just returned straight away as the instructor promised, I wouldn’t have done this.

He just made a common sense judgment to protect himself in the middle of the forest where wild beasts and monsters might appear anytime and anywhere.

“Whoa… … . I really won’t let that person go… … . My sometime must! revenge! I will!”

“What are you going to do if I don’t let you go?”

“Kyaaah!”

with a plop!

Soi was startled and stumbled into a ravine.

“There have been more pleasant games with the body these days. Is clowning a new dream?”

“Puuu!! Wow, it’s cool! Let’s pretend to be popular! And what if a woman goes to wash her body and comes in carelessly like this!? What would I have done if I had been washing my body!”

Soy spewed water from his mouth, lifted his axe eye, and fired at Zeke.

Zeke scanned Soyi’s body up and down with a trembling face.

“Hmm… … . what can i see… … .”

“What did you say!?”

“Well, things weren’t so relaxed, so I couldn’t help it. for you to understand and forgive.”

Is this person calling this an apology?

Soi glared at Zeke.

“Soy spoon, I need to do some work.”

“… … You know I’ve been building a house by myself until now, right? Building a house on top of that tree doesn’t seem like a lot of hard work, though. Do you just do it tomorrow?”

Apparently, I didn’t speak well in front of the instructor.

Then Zeke nodded.

“Well. yes, then there is nothing you can do I hope everyone can get through today well. It’s a little pity for those who died without eating your bread, but what can you do when the baker is tired and wants to rest? i get it. Rest in peace.”

Zeke’s murmur clearly reached Soyi’s ears.

So-yi, who had hardened her face in shock, turned her head away as if she would not be fooled this time.

“… … again, again! Take people’s lives! Why do people die from not eating just one meal? It’s a lie!”

“It is not a lie. Where is your bread, just bread? Even though you already have a record of saving Iriel, you underestimate your abilities.”

Jack said in a serious voice.

“… … Gee, are you for real?”

“Yeah, didn’t you see those lying down earlier? Some of them may not make it past today.”

“… … !”

She bit her lower lip hard.

‘Yes, the instructor is not the kind of person to joke around with things like this.’

There are people who are in danger right now, and you can save them with your own bread.

Wouldn’t it be cheaper to eat something that is difficult for a while?

There was a serious determination in Soi’s eyes.

“… … How many people desperately need my bread?”

“About three hundred.”

“three hundred… … .”

No matter how many breads Soyi’s shop sells in a day, it will be at most 200.

That, too, was the standard for a very successful day.

Mother, Celia and James. And the whole family, including himself, clung to it and managed to digest it.

To make more bread than that.

Can I do that by myself today?

Just thinking about it, I couldn’t help but shake my head.

“Soy.”

A voice calling out Soyi, who had a calm face.

Soi raised his head.

“do not worry. I will help.”

“… … Instructor… … ?”

* * *

Zeke decided to help, but the vagueness was still there.

This is not Hilllace Bakery. in the middle of a forest.

The ingredients alone were more than enough to make a few hundred loaves of bread.

On the trip with the instructor, I packed the ingredients in units of 100 kg, saying that there might be something I needed to treat to others.

Of course, my mother never thought that she would carry them instead of loading them in a wagon.

So-yi managed to stop her mother, who wondered if she could take care of more because even after doing all that, the value of a single gold coin was far from enough.

There is such an abundance of materials, but no environment is prepared to process them.

It might be possible to somehow produce one or two, but mass production was unreasonable no matter how much I thought about it.

“Instructor… … . What should I do?”

Soi looked at Zeke and asked.

“Well?”

“First of all, we have to decide what type of bread to make… … . I’ll just do it with a baguette. Because that’s the simplest and most confident thing.”

“yes. do that.”

Zeke nodded his head.

Soyi put her hand to her chin and was deep in thought.

“And… … . Bread that heals people… … . Umm, can I do the same thing I made for Iriel then?”

“no. Perhaps… … . Do you know what the placebo effect is?”

“The Fella Shibal effect?”

Soi’s eyes widened at the first words he heard.

“It gets weird when you put those two words together… … . No, no. Don’t worry, I’ll help you control your emotions. Let me tell you what else you need.”

“Ha, I don’t have anything right now… … . I didn’t even bring any cooking utensils because I was busy with ingredients. First of all, we need a bowl to mix the ingredients in… … .”

“This is enough.”

Let’s stir the bread Zeke was holding a few times.

The tree next to it became a wooden bowl of just the right size.

“Uh, um… … . yes. Next is a wide cutting board… … .”

“I am ready.”

“Plunger… … .”

“I am ready.”

“A decently sized bread knife… … .”

“If you don’t mind a wooden knife, it’s ready.”

“I, as long as I’m alive, I’m fine.”

Soyi asked, just in case, to Zeke, who always made things happen no matter what he said.

“Hillace Bakery… … ?”

“Don’t play around. Soy spoon.”

“no! You need a workbench big enough for Hilllace Bakery to make it in bulk!”

“Then, let’s say that from the beginning.”

Zeke looked around and found a large tree.

It was the tree in which the soy was found.

Awesome!

Suddenly, a loud cutting sound is heard.

Cuckoo Palace!!

A huge tree fell along with Soyi’s makeshift lodging.

“Oh, no! My house!!!”

Soyi opened her eyes and shouted, but it was already too late.

Zeke trimmed the whole tree to make a workbench.

wickedness.

Sussuk!

The workbench was wide and smooth enough for two people to work on.

“My, my house is like this… … . this, this… … . Better than the one in our bakery… … .”

As Soyi stroked the workbench, her eyes shook like an earthquake.

However, Zeke, who had done such a great job, put a chin baguette on his shoulder as if it was no big deal and said.

“What more do you need then?”

“… … This is the most important. I need a fire pit that maintains a constant temperature… … .”

Soi said in a hesitant voice.

No matter how zealous I was, this was unreasonable.

It was difficult to create a stove with a constant temperature unless it was a craftsman who specializes in making it.

Originally, when Zeke asked for baguettes on this trip, Soyi would just light a bonfire and pile up stones to make a simple stove.

I tried to make it for Zeke one by one, albeit clumsily.

However, what I need to make now is a large amount of bread.

“This is the easiest. Just dig a hole and cook it.”

Fire rose from Zeke’s hand.

“… … what the hell is this guy… … ?”

Soi looked at Zeke with confused eyes.

A plain out of the woods.

It was too cramped with many fallen knights to stay in the clearing, so they came out of the forest.

Duke Joheiden looked at the fallen with a sorrowful face.

They boldly went out to fight Justia, but most of them fell sick before they even went out.

With Zeke’s support, the urgent fire was extinguished before it spread to the worst, but not one or two of those whose lives were at risk.

The Duke of Yoheiden lowered his head with a tired face.

“hahahaha… … this… … . I thought that the long-cherished wish of my ancestors would finally come true in my generation… … . After all, was it a crowd…? … .”

The Duke of Justia and the Duke of Joheiden are enemies of Cheolcheonji.

In the meantime, many members of Joheiden lost their lives due to Justia’s wicked plan or lost their positions for other political reasons.

“… … In the end, Zeke Clayman, I guess I have no choice but to leave everything to him… … .”

“… … Family lord, are you saying we are retreating from here?”

Sedan, who was lying next to him, raised himself up at the duke’s murmur and asked.

“Sedan, fulfilling our long-cherished wish is important, but wouldn’t it be more important to save people than that… … .”

The Duke of Joheiden said in a weak voice.

“And you, too, seem to be in danger in your current state.”

“… … .”

It was. Sedan Yoheiden was also forced to endure.

My physical condition was not so good that I wondered if I could receive even one sword from the enemy.

“… … Yes, it is unavoidable. Anyway, where did Zeke Kleiman go now?”

“Looks like you went to see something for a while… … . There was a sound of something collapsing, so it must have been a large monster… … .”

ha-

A deep sigh rose from within.

“yes. As soon as my physical strength recovers even a little, I will return to the Duke of Yoheiden immediately. I have to save the person who can save even one person.”

“Yes… … . All right.”

Tadadak!

Just then, a girl ran out of the woods and stood in front of them.

“Um… … . You… … . earlier… … ?”

A girl who left a strong impression on a tree with mud all over her face. At first, I thought it was a monster.

The appearance of Soyi, who appeared after washing all the dirty things, was beautiful enough to make Sedan’s heart pound.

“eww… … . That! I couldn’t say hello! It’s called Soy Spoon, a commoner who, undeservedly, has a friendship with Lady Serena Joheiden!”

Soi politely bowed her head.

“Sere’s… … ?”

“Yes, my status is a commoner, but Princess Yoheiden personally interacted with me.”

Soi smiled bashfully with a tired face.

Soyi’s arms trembled from the long labor.

“… … Ah, at Ramielli Academy, everyone is equal regardless of status… … .”

“Yes, sorry if I offended you… … .”

“No, no. Se-re said she decided to consider herself a friend, but I can’t interfere with that. Anyway, what happened?”

“Ah yes! The instructor said to prepare… … ?”

“Hmm?”

“I’ll leave right after eating, so everyone told me to wake up.”

“… … What!?”

The Duke of Yoheiden and Sedan looked at Soi with frowns as if they did not understand.
