"I wish you all the best for the rest of your lives. As a priest, I have a few words to say to you."

"What?"

"You're going to have lunch and then go shopping?"

"I heard that there are many things you need for your journey while you are showing me around the town. I will look for them."

"Among the things to buy, you should first look for a container."

"A container? You mean like a bag?"

"I'm not sure anymore, but that's what we're looking for. There will be an excellent match for you there. My prophecy is only small happiness, but it is quite accurate, isn't it?"

(Kokuri)

After nodding my head, I waved goodbye and left the priest's room.

"Ah! Freesia-chan, welcome back!"

"Lily, don't yell in the church."

"Oops... How did it go? "Oh... I don't need to ask."

"Yeah, even we can see that."

"It went... No, it looks like something good happened."

"Good for you, Freesia-chan."

(Kokuri)

Carna says it's best to smile in these situations, but my facial expression doesn't change at all unless I have a strong emotion.

So, I just nod.

Well, I don't make gestures or anything like that because it's too much trouble.

Then I bowed to the sisters and waved lightly before leaving the church.

There was the sound of something spewing and crumbling behind me, but I didn't care.

Carna said something about a red fountain, or the effects of another Hui Hui title... But oh well.

Lunch was at a restaurant that is run by a concocted and a cook who work together. I had lunch at a restaurant run by a cook and a concierge.

You can buy medicines, but the motto of the shop is "health through cooking," as the priest said, and they are doing their best.

So, they don't serve a lot of meat like other restaurants. or "more than quality," like other restaurants. Instead, it is a restaurant that is kind to your stomach and healthy.

Lily-san and her friends told me that the restaurant has only been stable for a few dozen days, but they took me there because they thought it would be perfect for me right now.

Incidentally, as soon as I entered the restaurant, there were many people who were red-faced, collapsed, and clutched their mouths when they saw me, and one person who was barely standing quickly showed me to a private room.

But my face was still red and pulled.

I wonder what was going on?

And what was that thing they were saying about angels in trouble and all that?

And the rice he ate was oatmeal? It was white rice with some kind of mashed rice in a thick broth.

There were herb leaves on top, so it was like a leafy rice soup.

It looked like green leaves and pure white, but when I ate it, it was delicious.

When I asked him about it, he said it was because he was trying his best to stick to the broth.

When I made a peace gesture to let her know that it was delicious, the lady who was barely standing finally collapsed to her knees.

Everyone in the restaurant said, "Thank you very much!"

They were all smiling and bowing.

"Wow~ the Freesia-chan effect is astonishing..."

"I guess so..." "I don't think so..."

"I didn't expect to pay half price..."

"What is it...? The reactions have been even stronger than when Freesia-Chan and her friends first came here, haven't they? You know what? Carna."

"Yeah... Something..." Freesia got the title "Lolicon Gentlemen", which doesn't really need an explanation... You can guess the rest."

Lily-san and the others...

"It was only a matter of time, wasn't it?

"Yeah, I guess it was. I don't know if I can say this, but Freesia turned out to be even prettier than I thought she would be..."

"That's what I think, too. I thought she had a nice face, but she's really changed drastically once she's washed."

"Well, let's go shopping anyway, shall we?"

"Yes, let's go shopping. Oh, yeah, Anne."

"Can I help you? Carna, what's up?"

"Why don't we start by going to the place where we buy the tools?"

"What? Oh, we'll have to start with that, won't we?"

"Oh, you're right. Our party has Dan's magic bag."

"I have a vague idea of what a magic bag is, but what does it look like?"

"I'm talking about a bag that holds more than it looks and weighs less than it feels."

"The cheapest bags are limited to a few hundred kilos, but the more expensive they get, the bigger the limit becomes, and in some cases there is no limit at all, or there is no passage of time."

"What do you mean no time-lapse?"

"It means that if something is warm, it's always warm when you take it out, and if it's cold, it's always cold when you take it out. Isn't that amazing?"

"That's great, isn't it? How much is the cheapest one?"

"Usually more than a gold coin."

"I didn't know they cost that much. I'm uncertain if it's that much, but I'd like to buy a good one."

"That's true. I'm uncertain whether it's a good deal or not, but I'd like to buy something that's good."

"In my case and Shasty's case, it would be better if they were bigger, but it's not something we can afford to buy so easily, and they're too big.

"That's one way to look at it. But you can certainly say that. I don't know how big it would be, but it would stand out."

"And here we are!"

"This place is?"

"Yes, it's a specialty store with all kinds of containers. There are knives only, beverages only, medicine concoctions, cosmetic pouches, and the magic bag I mentioned earlier. And they come in all different shapes and types."

"Because they are the ones who sell them, they are more strict than other stores in preventing theft, so the threshold is higher at first glance, but the prices range from the cheapest to the biggest. But even the cheapest ones are guaranteed quality."

"I bought Dan's bag here, too, you know? I have a decent amount of Freesia-chan's stuff, and I'm sure she'll get a reasonably good one back."

"Well, you'll show us the way, won't you?"

"I'll take care of it."

And then we went into a place called "The Container Store".
