287 - - 287 Times 、、、、、、、、。
When I came to the front of the room, I saw Sandille wandering around. When I approached him to see what was going on, I found him screaming into the room.
Oh my god! Oh, my God! Why, sir! Open this door, please!"
"No! I will not tolerate blindness!"
Sandille stares at the shoji, grunting ...... and gritting her teeth. Perhaps he is still tasting ...... the tribute, or perhaps he is in the middle of eating it with gusto. She doesn't want him to come in and ask her to give it to him. No, he is not that mean. So you don't want to be upset with ...... him for eating dirty. But I can't stay here forever either. I stand next to Sandille and open my mouth to the shoji.
"Hello, my name is Linos. I have a tribute I forgot to give you. ....... May I come in?
"...... what? Tribute? Mm, no hardship. It's not a problem. Come on, come here, kinako mochi kinako mochi."
Kinako Mochi Kinako Mochi ......'s words are hamming it up for some reason. Perhaps Chie and Saae are saying it together. As usual, the three of them are in perfect synch.
When I entered the room, I saw that Omiisama's chest was shining in gold. She must have spilled a lot of food. It is true that when eating soybean flour rice cakes, it is easy for the powder to fall off. When I was a child, I was scolded a lot, and I had a hard time not to drop the powder. But now that I have mastered the art of eating without dropping any powder, I don't have to worry about it anymore. I will teach her that technique later.
"Ohi-sama! You're making a mess again! Chie and Saae! So much for ......."
"Well, well, Mr. Sandille, that's enough. Don't you have something to tell the princess?"
He grunts when he hears my words. At that moment, Chie and Saae stuck out their tongues.
"Ohi-sama! This is a big deal! The staff of Latgis may have been found!"
"The staff of Latgis?"
The great-grandmother was licking her hands and looking at Sandille as if she were looking at something dirty. He clicks his tongue and opens his mouth again.
"The staff was stolen from the elves about 500 years ago! You see, with that black wand, I can draw magic circles ......."

When I say this, her eyes widen.
"Yes, the staff of Latgis! That's the one that Haze, the fox, stole!"
"You mean to tell me you know where Hayes is?
I don't know. But I do not believe that Hayes would let another steal his staff. From what I've heard of this Lord Rinos, I'd say he's the owner.
"That rattle-brained, doobie-doo-board, tare-miso bastard! It's a sight for sore eyes!"
A fox fire surrounds the body of Ohihi-sama. I'm scared. ......
Her gaze slowly turns to me. I am so overwhelmed by her power that I freeze with my eyes wide open.
"You."
"...... Yes. Yes?"
"I'm sorry to trouble you, but could you help me track down Hayes?"
What do you mean by that ......?"
All you have to do is find out where he is. I'll do the rest."
...... eyes are completely set. I'm scared. Seriously, I'm scared.
"He's a cunning one. If I make a move, he'll know for sure. Then we may never have a chance to catch him. That's why I'm asking you. ...... will you accept?"
"Oh, ...... yeah, ...... yes."
"I'm asking you. If there's anything you need, you come to me. I'm here to help you.
"You know ...... about that ...... space magic?"
"Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"
"Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!"
Suddenly, with a scream from the princess, I feel a sharp pain in my head. The pain is too much for me and I grovel, holding my head.
"Whew! You are as complicated as ever! Here! Here! Oh, no, it's too much trouble! I'll be right here! Right here! Uryaah! Urya! Uriah! ...... Are you alive? You're alive, aren't you? He will be alive, yes. I have given you the skill of spatial magic, so you can experience it for yourself. It may look like a useless skill ...... compared to warding magic, but no, it can be a good way depending on how you use it. Try to use it yourself. That's the reward for finding Hayes. You will find him. I'll give it to you first."
I seem to recall him saying something like ......, but I'm not here for that. I kept applying restorative magic to relieve the intense pain. When I finally became conscious, I saw the sun goddess opening her mouth at the same time.
"Thank you for your hard work. You may step back."
What? I froze, and the three of them, Ohiisama, Chie, and Saae, were staring at me as if they wanted me to leave quickly. Gon, who was standing behind me, urged me to leave the room, leaving me stunned. Just then, I suddenly heard the voice of the goddess.
"Oh, you! Wait... wait..."
I turned around and she continued to speak.
"You should take out here the tribute you forgot to give me.
With a wry smile on my face, I put down the rice cake Doki had given me and left the place.
"I'm sorry to have bothered you. But I haven't seen such an angry princess in a long time.
Sandille invited us into her room, made herself a cup of tea and served it to us.
"Oh, no, no problem. ....... I have no idea what's going on here. ......"
"That's right. You have no way of knowing. Not even ...... Gon there knows."
"Could you please explain to me what this is all about?"
"Mm. But ....... I'm sorry, Gon. Would you excuse us, please?"
"Why? Isn't this about the princess? Why do you ask me, the princess's servant, to leave my seat and speak only to my master?
Gong has a point. But Sandille looks as if he is biting a bitter bug and opens his mouth.
No, it's not that. I have something to discuss with you. You know ...... that I don't want him to hear."
With these words, he produced a card out of nowhere and threw it in front of Gon.
"That's Agartha's ......, Tachibana-ya's ....... You can play for free for a day. Go play for a while with it.
"What? Tachibanaya? Is it that ...... recently built brothel, the Tachibana-ya, which is split in popularity with Miraya? It is different from Miraya, which is full of beautiful women, and has a wide variety of women of all ages and types, not to mention humans and beasts, as well as a wide range of prices, and is highly regarded as a relaxing place for adults where everyone from the common people to royalty can enjoy themselves. I have been thinking that I must go there once, but is Tachibana-ya so popular that even I have trouble getting a reservation?
"...... You're a loudmouth. If you bring it with you, they'll let you play without a reservation. Oh, don't be shy. Go ahead and play as long as you like."
"No ...... that ...... such ...... bad ...... but... Is that so? I am not sure I can refuse you if you insist so strongly. Well then, I'm going to go for a little visit, just for a visit, for future study.
Saying these words, Gon left the room, letting out a ghastly laugh.
"Well, he won't be back for a while...if he doesn't come back in a week, you can go pick him up.
"Ha...... haha."
"Now, now, about Hayes. He's a fox who used to be a servant of the great-grandmother.
"What?"
About 1,000 years ago, I think. I don't know how I got it so wrong, but one day, I suddenly quit being the princess's servant and was reborn as a fox."
"You're a fox with a ......?"
"You're right. Usually, a person is reborn as a fox only when he has done something very bad. Most of them perish because their bodies cannot endure the process of reincarnation, but there are rare foxes who succeed in reincarnation. That is Haze. Originally, he had an extraordinary amount of magical power. That must be why he was able to be reborn. After that he became a thief and stole many treasures. We did our best to track him down, but we were unable to catch him by the tail.
Why did this fox steal the elf's prized possessions?
That's the thing. Haze is responsible for the elves abandoning the earth and hiding deep in the mountains. And he is also responsible for the isolation between the elves and the grandmother.
Sandille sighs loudly and looks down. This story seems to have deep roots. I listen to his words for more details: .......
