Is this really just an RPG? !

I don't know what Qiuqiu blew up. I'm just glad that the design of the Rune Recording Stone is very considerate to the user in some respects—since it is used to record runes, a considerable amount of magic power is stored in the stone , and also set a special ability to improve the confidentiality effect of "special circumstances will clear the surrounding traces", that is to say, when the burning stone explodes for some reason, a large amount of magic power released will activate the originally set magic, Eliminate all traces within the explosion range.

That being said, I'm not too sure what the "traces" on this setting refer to.

—Is it just the text or everything including the text? I don't know about this kind of thing, after all, the item introduction of Burning Stone itself is somewhat defective.

In general, since no one has found me so far, it may be the effect of the [Trace Erase] magic, or it may be because the person who activated the stone was Qiuqiu, and Qiuqiu itself has certain characteristics, Leading to the city's guards not finding the culprit.

"It's really a dangerous prop, it's really a pity."

Qiuqiu didn't know why he deeply regretted the explosion of the burning stone.

"What a pity?"

"Master, think about it! It's so powerful, it's great to use it to blow up the enemy! You can also use its characteristics to make props such as underwater explosive bombs."

Qiuqiu said it as a matter of course.

It's a shame she thought so much.

However, the burning stone will explode when it encounters water: if it is thrown, the explosion effect can only be applied to the water surface, and there is no way to cause any threat to the enemies in the water; if it is taken out in the water, then the instant it is taken out Explosion, but the user is attacked.

It will take a lot of trials and improvements to transform this thing into a qualified offensive prop.

That being the case, it is better to use better offensive props directly.

"Actually, I have a lot of things that can explode..."

"Master, why do you have so many things that can explode?"

"...Maybe it's the reason why I once overturned the lair of goblin bandits."

After thinking hard for a moment, I can only give this answer.

The goblin is really a kind of magical creature, no matter what kind of prop it is, it can give it an explosive effect.

"It always feels similar to the owner's style."

"Stop talking! I'm not that dangerous guy."

While talking with Qiuqiu, he subconsciously walked towards a street with few people. When he came to his senses, he found himself on a street with almost no pedestrians.

"Eh? What is this place?"

"The Commercial Street of Dababin."

"I don't think so at all."

Although there are all kinds of shops on both sides of the street, it is really weird that there are almost no pedestrians on the whole street. Since it is a commercial street, it should not be crowded with so many people. The degree is right, does it mean that I came here at the wrong time?

"In fact, most of the shops in Dababin's commercial street are connected. After all, these are the products of a chamber of commerce... To be more precise, 90% of the shops in this commercial street are owned by one person. own."

"The prologue is completely out of tune."

"It's not easy to describe..." Qiuqiu paused for a while, and pulled out a pair of small glasses from nowhere, and also pulled out a pointer that was obviously too big compared to her figure, "To put it bluntly, , someone owns a chamber of commerce, and the chamber of commerce has these stores."

"In this case, what is the meaning of the Chamber of Commerce?"

"Sounds more powerful."

"..."

I don't really understand the minds of these local tyrants.

"Since they all belong to one person, it is very convenient for customers to connect all the stores, at least in the severe winter season, they don't need to stand on the street to search for stores."

"Then what's the point of this street?"

"Give it to the carriage... No! Look over there."

A carriage happened to be parked where Qiuqiu pointed.

"Looking for a store to see?"

"Your Highness and Miss Emily probably didn't finish the matter at hand so quickly."

Qiuqiu shrugged, agreeing to my proposal.

However, even at this late hour, I still want to tell her one thing.

"Oh, by the way, you look so silly wearing glasses, full of foolishness. After holding that pointer, this foolishness has increased exponentially."

"...You can't expect to hear a good word from you, Master."

Eh? I clearly said the fact.

Besides, I also praise people.

For example, the props of goblins are highly practical, powerful, and have gorgeous special effects.

"Choose one at random?"

"Choose whatever you want, as long as you can sit down anyway."

"Not every one provides seats."

Qiuqiu complained like this, and even rolled my eyes at me.

"It's fine as long as it's a restaurant."

"But this one doesn't look like a regular store."

Hearing what Qiuqiu said, I subconsciously raised my head and glanced at the name of the store.

SHSRRVS delicious shop.

Judging from the name of the store, I think this is a high-end and high-end store. I think this is because the full name of this store is "Super high speed rotate rise vibration sprint delicious store". 80% of the name is from The rune is formed, and the rune contains a lot of magic power, that is to say, if there is no problem with the composition of the rune, an indescribable ultimate shock wave may be emitted someday.

Of course, the premise is that there is no problem with the composition method.

"No matter how you look at it, it's just a cobbled-together name, full of styles I can't imagine. Is this the latest trend?"

"It's probably...not the latest trend."

I think so too.

No matter how you say it, you will not create such a new trend. After all, to write a rune that contains a considerable amount of magic power, you must hire a spellcaster who is not an apprentice. Yes, not to mention those spellcasters who have learned a lot will not allow themselves to write such weird sentence patterns.

No matter what, the basis of "can be triggered" must be satisfied!

"The shop owner's daughter is a spell caster. The reason why she couldn't form a complete sentence because of her father's request was that the daughter was afraid of her father's mess."

"That's it."

After listening to Qiuqiu's explanation, I nodded immediately.

If this is the case, everything can be explained... No! Where did this guy get the information from? It is obviously the first time to come to this city, and the elf's special constitution makes her unable to communicate with people normally. In theory, it is only right that she did not figure out the reason so quickly!

"Ah, there is an introduction about this store in the endless library."

When Qiuqiu raised his head and looked at me, he was stunned for a moment, then snapped his fingers and explained to me.

"There are even such things in the endless library!"

"Of course, this is a very important store after all."

"How important is it?"

I looked up at the store nameplate and asked Qiuqiu.

"Let me take a look...'Special mission, the brave man will trigger it when he encounters this store for the first time, and after completing the mission, he will encounter a store with the same name as this store in every city he visits'."

"........."

Unknowingly reminds me of a man who owns a hotel named Dongsheng with a disgusting smile.

"Oh, oh oh, so it's such a powerful thing! 'Heroes can save in this store'...Master? What is save? State preservation? Or is it reserved?"

"That's probably not something important."

I stopped Qiuqiu's questioning, and if this continues, the answer to the question I have been avoiding may really be revealed in front of me.

Obviously not ready yet.

"So, go in?"

"Go in, everyone is here, it's good to have a look."

Saying so, I pushed open the door of the SHSRRVS delicious restaurant.

"Jingle Bell."

The bell is used to remind the shopkeeper that there are customers coming or leaving. It is a very simple but extremely effective design. I have seen many shops do this when I was in the imperial capital. Since the restaurant is on the second floor, when I came in, I only saw the receptionist who was lying on the front desk writing something, he seemed too attentive to even notice the bell.

As Qiuqiu described, there are open aisles on the left, rear and right sides, which can lead to other shops. There are also benches or stalls selling cold drinks and snacks in the aisles to provide customers with a place to rest; ventilation It's good, even if you stay here for a long time, you won't feel uncomfortable; you can see magic circles used to control the temperature everywhere. Compared with the outside, this place is simply a small paradise.

I really don't know how the founders came up with such a great idea.

"Ah, it is said that the founder just wanted to be comfortable when he was shopping in the store."

"...Well, this can be regarded as a strategy. Think about yourself as a customer."

I don't know who Qiuqiu learned this "precise slap in the face" from.

Sister? With her personality, she really likes to do this kind of thing.

— especially when dealing with guys you hate or like.

——It is worth mentioning that I don't seem to be in these two categories, but in the more unique category of "the guy named the hero".

——Inadvertently making friends.

"Ah, I'm very sorry, are you going upstairs to eat?"

The receptionist who has been concentrating on the things at hand finally noticed my existence, hurriedly told me to pack up the things in his hands, and then looked at me with a standard smile. If you don’t care about the previous situation, then he should be a Qualified receptionists too.

But I couldn't face him with peace of mind anyway.

"……puff."

"guest?"

"Puff, puff, puff...that, behind you."

"Behind me? Guest, you don't want to play jokes like 'behind you, behind you is behind you', right?"

"Pfft ha ha ha ha! I mean it! There are white flowers blooming behind you!"

"White flowers, even if you say so..."

The young receptionist brother was finally willing to turn around.

Then after a brief silence, he finally understood what I meant by "white flowers", and waved his hands indiscriminately, shouting "Oh, what to do, what to do" while quickly recycling paper... yes, it's paper , The notepad he put away hastily fell apart, and the pages inside were flying in the air due to the ventilation facilities, so I described them as "white flowers".

It is obviously an irregular movement, but it can form a good figure at a certain point in time, even if it is just a coincidence, it will make people feel "really amazing".

I closed my eyes, clasped my hands, and nodded solemnly.

"Master, you just think it's funny."

Within three seconds, my partner had sold me.

"Pfft, you saw it too... This is the first time I've seen such a reckless receptionist."

"At the end of the day, master, you have the same temperament as the other party..."

With his hands on his hips, Qiuqiu squinted his eyes and looked at me with helplessness written on his face.

"Ah, do you want to think about what to eat in advance? It should be about lunch! And I haven't had time to read the introduction about dragons. I'll read it slowly while eating."

"What a nasty way to change the topic, master, you are so inferior."

"..."

I don't know the character of other people's partner elves.

Anyway, I, in some cases, are really bad.

"No, I'm very sorry! I'm sorry."

"No, I don't think it's okay," the receptionist apologized so sincerely that I couldn't continue laughing, "Hey, are there any seats?"

"Also, are you alone?"

"Um."

I agreed with the other party's guess, and ignored Qiuqiu who was complaining "Wow, I am also human, even elves are also humanoid creatures, so they are considered human".

Just kidding, I can't say "there's actually a little guy you can't see"!

Leaving aside whether he will be arrested and sent to a psychiatric institution, I find it super troublesome to describe Qiuqiu clearly to the other party.

——After all, it is a partner spirit full of characteristics and slots.

"So...then is the guest willing to share a table with other guests?"

"Eh?"

I didn't quite understand what the other person meant, so I tilted my head subconsciously.

"Because there is no room for single use, so?"

"Ah...don't worry about it."

That's what I said, but I still want to find a place where I can stay alone, and finish reading the things written by Qiuqiu.

If there are other strangers, it will be a lot of trouble... Ah! No, think about it in another way. Since they are strangers at the same table, as long as they are not too bad-tempered, they can always talk. This is just a good time to learn about the city of Dababin and the information about the princess?

If there are pros and cons, you can choose to try it.

"Then, guests, please go upstairs, table A14, a seat by the window, there should already be a woman surnamed Thomas sitting there, I hope you will have a good time with her."

"I see."

After receiving the license plate, I took Qiuqiu upstairs.

only.

What's wrong?

A woman named Thomas?

It should be the first time I met a stranger, but this surname made me feel very familiar, even to the point where I suddenly felt a chill behind my back, and a person who "only knows to bully my juniors all day long" appeared in my mind. Blue-haired girl".

"Thomas...is the same surname as Miss Emily."

"...So it turns out that senior's surname is Thomas?"

"Master, you don't even know!"

"I don't know at all! It's better to say that my memory of her only has the characteristics of 'senior', 'magic girl', 'blue hair', 'girl', and 'will bully me if nothing happens'!"

"...It's really a straightforward way of remembering."

I don't know why Qiuqiu's color suddenly faded.

But my way of remembering is okay, it is simple and clear and not easy to forget.

"So, what is Your Highness?"

"'Princess', 'Blonde', 'Witch'..."

"Accidentally serious."

"...'A completely fat orange meow'."

"........."

"………………Eh?"

"which aspect?"

"If I really want to say it, every time I see Your Highness, I want to rub her blond hair... Ehehe!"

I answered with a smile while scratching my head.

Then he was hit on the forehead by Qiuqiu.

"Hey, what a head!"

"No, no, no, I mean it! It's just that I haven't dared to implement it!"

"If it is implemented, master, you will change from a light-hearted, adventurous and hot-blooded protagonist to a useless and useless harem protagonist... Ah, no, it seems that you are also quite useless and useless now."

"I don't understand what you want to express, but the part that belittles me is really sincere."

"Hey! Thank you for the compliment!"

"..."

In a sense, Qiuqiu and I are really the best partners.

Although I never wanted to admit it.

It is often said that "the more noisy the relationship, the better", it probably means that the relationship between two people has reached the level of "even after the quarrel can be reconciled". In addition, the quarrel is due to the conflict of ideas, and the reconciliation is due to mutual In this way, there will naturally be a situation where the more noisy the more tacit understanding.

But the biggest premise is that you can reconcile after the quarrel.

Hmm, I am full of wisdom who can understand this kind of old saying.

"Obviously just nodding pretending to be contemplative to hide that I couldn't find a seat, but I can pretend to be like this, I am worthy of being the master."

"Stop talking, you dry elf!"

I complained to Qiuqiu.

After all, this kind of thing can't blame me.

Although my seat is very conspicuous by the window, according to the design of this store, you can always find a seat as long as you walk along the window, but to my surprise... this store is too big! Moreover, the seats are not arranged in order at all, and the table numbers of A3 and B17 are pasted randomly.

I don't know what use these table numbers are for other than distinguishing the location of customers!

"If you go around, you can always find it. Besides, there are already seats for customers, and many seats by the window are empty."

"So why not give us our own seats."

Qiuqiu complained.

She still seemed to mind the receptionist's choice.

"Maybe it's because none of these seats are for single occupancy...or maybe they've already been booked."

"It's not such a coincidence! Ah, speaking of it, since it's the master, it's not surprising that there are any coincidences."

"... long-winded."

Because of what Qiuqiu said, I didn't refute it.

Finally, I saw a seat by the window with people. It was a blond woman. Even looking at her back, I could feel her aura. Compared with the guests around me, she was completely in two worlds. The more important thing was Yes, that woman seems to have an ability that makes it impossible to divert attention.

She is like a natural light source.

But in general, if it is such a stranger, it should be easier to get along with, right?

I hope that the atmosphere of the conversation will not be too depressing.

"Excuse me, little Thomas... eh, eh, eh!"

Just when I was about to confirm, when I inadvertently saw the face of the blond woman, I called out subconsciously.

"Ah! Brave, although I guessed that you would come back, I didn't expect you to come so soon... Oh! Emily's words went out for a while, and she will be back in a while."

Yes, the blonde woman in front of me is my teammate in this adventure, the princess of the Alexander Empire known as the "Witch of Destruction", Lilith Berkeley.

"Why is it His Highness and Senior Sister!"

"Well, let's talk about it after dinner? Let's order first."

Seeing Lilith's serious look, I sighed deeply and sat opposite her.

Hope this lunch is a little more normal.

With that in mind, I opened the menu.
