“Is there anything you want to eat?”

Lina-san asked me but to be honest, I’d rather make it myself. I’ll cook the food for Lina-san and Fina-san. Then I’ll put the rest into my inventory to keep it warm, and give it to Gil-san and Bucket-san when they get back.

“Um…”

“Yes? What’s wrong?”

“Do you mind if I make the food myself?”

“Marina-chan, you’re going to cook?”

“Yes. Is it not okay?”

Lina-san pondered a little. Is it still wrong?

“No, that’s not it. Just… there’s nowhere to make it.”

“Ah”

That’s right! I forgot the most important thing!

“Hmmm… should I go to the inn and ask if I can use their kitchen?”

“But… isn’t it crowded now?

It’s lunchtime, so everyone’s in the cafeteria.

“That’s true…”

“If that’s the case, I think we should buy the gliano first.”

Oh, I thought we were going to buy it later. Will we be back at the right time if we go there first?

“I agree. Is that fine with you, Marina-chan?”

“Yes.”

I hope everything works out in the end. Oh, but I haven’t made a clay pot yet. I’ll do it secretly later.

“So… this way.”

We turned to a narrow path off the side of the main street.

“This town is like a maze with streets like this.”

“Really?”

I could get lost here…

<I’ll help you if you do>

That’s right. I’ll thank you beforehand.

<No problem>

“Marina-chan let’s hold hands.”

“Ok?”

I held Fina-san’s hand. Maybe it’s to avoid getting separated? She seems to be happy too.

“Almost there- ah, Fina, that’s not fair!”

“First come first served.”

Fina-san gave a smug look to the frustrated Lina-san. I’m not sure what to make of it.

“But that’s beside the point.”

It’s fine.

“You can buy it here.”

We arrived at a small building with a large space nearby where several horse-drawn carriages were kept.

“Is this the first time you’ve seen a horse-drawn carriage?”

Maybe it was because I was staring at them, so Lina asked me that.

“Un… I guess you can say that.”

I’ve seen carriages pulled by 2 horses on Earth, but the one in front of me is pulled by 3 horses. Either way, it is indeed my first time in this world.

“I see. Shall we go in then?

“Yes”

I opened the door and went inside. There were only a counter and a few chairs and tables, making it a bit desolate.

” …elcome “

There was a man at the counter, so I walked over to him.

“Um, do you have gliano?”

“Yeah, I do”

…… I’ve heard that line before.

“How much do you want?”

What are the units over here?

<The units of measurement remains the same.>

Oh, really?

<Yes. It’s the same for all worlds>

Oh my… what a shocking fact…

“What, you just chillin’ ?”

Oh no, I’m not sure what to do. Well, if they weigh the same…

“Do you have 30 kilos?

“…Yes, wait here.”

Then he disappeared into the back of the store.

“Hey, Marina-chan. Are you really buying that much?”

“Yes, just in case.”

“O- oh. (Just in case?)”

Just wait and see.

“…Here it is.”

Before I knew it, the uncle had already returned. He placed three heavy looking sacks on the floor.

“…10 kilos each. You can check them out.”

I opened the bags and checked the contents.

“It’s definitely rice…”

But the husks were still attached. I don’t know how to thresh it.

<You can thresh it using the inventory>

What? There’s such a function?

Maybe it’s by storing the husk and the edible rice in different spots

Well, that’s true, isn’t it?

Flour can be separated into strong flour, medium flour, and light flour. Same for this.

…Yeah, I’ll say no more.

“How is it?

“It’s fine. So what’s the price?”

“Three hundred lithia for a kilo. That’s…”

“That’s 9,000 lithia.”

When I said that, the old man looked surprised. What? Did I do the math wrong?

“You calculate fast.”

That’s right. There are no taxes nor fractions, so it’s easy to calculate.

“Not really, but am I right?”

“…Yeah. Do you want to pay by card?

“Yes.”

“Well… put it here.”

I put my card on the crystal and paid the bill, but 9,000 lithia is quite expensive. A commoner’s monthly income is 5,000 lithia. Wait, it is horse feed, so it’ll probably be bought by a merchant or something. I guess this price is reasonable now.

I put the three sacks of gliano I bought into my inventory and left the store.

“It’s about the right time. Shall we go back to the inn then?”

“Yes.”

Now, it’s time to cook! Well, that’s if I can get permission. I hope I do…

With that in mind, I followed Lina-san to the inn.

………… By the way, this time I had to hold hands with her instead. Why?
