SS Disappeared Figurine
「……I want to eat sweet foods」
It’s now a relaxed autumn after the boisterous harvest festival is over. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Lying down on my bed in my room, I suddenly craved to eat something sweet.
There are sweet foods in this mansion. Like pudding, milk gelato, and cookies.
There are a lot of sweets I taught Bartolo and there are plenty of those always placed in the dining room and living room.
However, I got tired of eating those. Right now, rather than those western sweets, I want to eat the subdued traditional Japanese sweets.
A modest, rustic sweetness with a mellow sweetness. I want to eat something like that.
For now, the sweets I bought in Kagura were stored in my subspace but if I were to carelessly eat them in the mansion, Eleonora-neesan and Elna-kaasan might sense it and come barging in.
And not only do I have to be careful of my own family, but I should also do so with the servants, like the maids Sara and Mina.
Those women have formidable perception power when it comes to sweets.
Just the other day, I only ate one mitarashi dango and Eleonora-neesan came barging in.
It would be best to eat away from the mansion if I want to do so with peace of mind.
However, if I do that then it’s no different from going out already.
Rather than doing that, it’s going to be more fun to Teleport to Kagura and do an eating tour while visiting the food stands.
「Yosh, let’s go to Kagura」
It’s still autumn right now so it won’t get cold if I walk around outside. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Or rather, if I were to miss going there at this season it would become cold and it would make me not want to walk around outside that much.
There is only a slight difference in temperature between Koryatt village and Kagura. If I’m going there then it should probably be now.
Having decided that, I get up and prepare myself to get outside.
「I’m going to take a little walk outside. I’ll be back by early evening」
「Understood. Take care as you go」
After telling that to Sara when I met him at the entrance, I headed outside the mansion.
Arriving at the plain and after checking that there was no one around, I recalled the shrine in Kagura and used Teleport.
After the distorting scenery, I arrived at the Kagura’s shrine in an instant.
Looking up the beautiful torii is towering over the surroundings today too.
I could Teleport directly into the city, but the scenery here is nice so I just want to go here.
「Hurry up! I need to show this off to Father!」
「Please wait a moment! It is dangerous to rush down the stairs like that!」
For a moment I could hear such voices from the bottom of the stairs, but they immediately went far away and I couldn’t hear it anymore.
I wonder if there were people playing here just before I arrived. They’re so lively.
The shrine is deserted, maybe because there was no one here at this time.
A breeze blows *shaa*, causing the trees in the shrine’s surroundings to rustle their leaves, scattering them. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
It seems like the autumn season is here as well and the leaves have completely changed to autumn colors.
The sight of red and yellow leaves fluttering down is very beautiful.
「Oh, what beautiful leaves」
I picked up beautifully red-colored leaves and put them in my pocket.
I quite like collecting leaves with beautiful colors like this. There are all kinds of tree types in the region so it’s fun just to check on their differences.
They won’t deteriorate if I store them in the subspace so I can always look at these beautiful leaves anytime.
「Maybe I should gather all the fallen leaves sooner? That way, I can enjoy the autumn leaves anytime」
If I can preserve a large amount of autumn leaves, I can simulate them even after the autumn color season has passed. That was a genius idea if I say so myself.
I immediately used Wind magic with that flash of an idea and gathered all the leaves that had fallen in the surroundings.
In doing so, I also remove the excess bugs and sand, making sure that they are all clean before drawing them towards me.
I take out a barrel from the subspace and throw all the leaves in there.
Then after tightening the lid of the barrel, I stored the barrel in the subspace.
This completes the preservation. I can just use them if I want to make roasted sweet potato or something. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
After collecting the fallen leaves for some time, I take a casual walk around the area.
Around the edge was a large rock wrapped in shimenawa just as it had been before.
I still don’t really understand this rock’s position. It was definitely the rock I used to play with Haru, but why did it get wrapped by a rope like this?
「……eh? The Water God’s figurine I left here is gone」
As I gazed at the rock, I suddenly noticed that the figurine I left before when I came here was gone.
The offerings placed on the stone stairs are also gone so I wonder if someone took it away?
When it comes to shrines, they are the gathering place for tomboyish boys and girls. I’m sure the neighborhood brats brought it home.
Even though I went out of my way to leave it there to increase the value as an object of worship.
It was something I made casually with Earth magic and I’m not angry about it, but it’s a little frustrating.
「Yosh, let’s make it difficult for those brats to bring it home next time」
After deciding the direction of the next object of worship in my mind, I cast Earth magic.
Last time I made a small figurine so someone brought it home. This time let’s make it bigger so it won’t be easy for anyone to bring it home.
The size of the Water Dragon is around one meter. When it comes to this size and weight, as expected, you won’t be able to bring it back home with children’s strength.
Also, I add a powerful expression and action on the dragon that instills awe in the viewer.
By doing this, I made sure that those brats wouldn’t be able to easily steal it.
「Yosh, now it won’t be stolen so easily」
It’s a little bigger and more imposing than before but with this, there’s probably no way for those brats could steal it.
After making a figure with a quality I was satisfied with, I left the shrine and headed to the city.
●
I entered Kagura with Teleport and wandered around the street food stands to search for sweet foods.
Incidentally, I’m wearing jinbei.
Kagura clothes are the typical clothes here so a kid wearing foreign-looking clothes will stand out.
I don’t think the people from the Shogun family like Haru and Kaede are wandering around here, but it will probably be wise not to stand out. I mean, I’m sure they’re going to persistently ask me about how I came here. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Although it’s currently autumn it’s unpleasantly cold, but there are people wearing jinbei like me around so it was the saving grace that I don’t feel too out of place wearing jinbei.
The streets of Kagura are also bustling today. The people coming and going on the street are mostly people with black hair and eyes.
And most of them are wearing kimono-like clothes. It’s as if I time travel-ed to the Edo period or something.
Unlike Koryatt village where there are a lot of people with brightly colored hair and eyes, the color tone here is very calm.
As I walked down the bustling shopping street, a very pleasant smell wafted from the surroundings.
There are probably a lot of dishes that use miso or soy sauce.
There were food stands selling grilled rice balls and gohei mochi and the smell was so fragrant. already
Although I’m tempted to go there by the wonderful smell, today’s objective is sweets.
As I continued to walk down the street, I finally arrived at a place where a lot of people gathered.
When I peeked to see what was going on, I saw a mochi store where they seemed to be making mochi while making lively voices.
One person thoroughly kneads the mochi while another person uses a pestle to pound the mochi.
It seemed like they were entertaining the spectators with such a splendid combination.
Mochi is not bad, but what I want to eat right now is something with a much more mellow sweetness. Also, I won’t be able to eat slowly and enjoy it in a crowded place.
For some reason, I thought it was feeling different from my current mood so I passed by the mochi shop.
As I walked deeper and deeper down the street, I started to see the end of the lined-up stands and the people coming and going also became fewer.
It looks kinda lonely for some reason, but I personally liked the atmosphere to be calm like this.
As I sneaked a look toward the stand at the edge with good ventilation, I could see a shop with a sign that said 『Dorayaki』.
It seems to be a corner shop at the edge of the food stand district.
Maybe it’s because it was located at the entrance of the food stand district that there is almost no one stopping that there are no customers.
「Oh, dorayaki, huh.......that’s nice」
It is perfectly suited to the calm sweetness I have in mind.
So I decided to continue past the food stand district and head towards the dorayaki shop standing isolated there. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
