Chapter 599 - Last Live Stream of Summer Vacation
Saturday
For tonight's live stream, I thought I'd take the Small Magic Boat to the Sandy Beach and have another seafood barbecue.
I could use the Divine Tree to travel, but I also want to visit Lupi's mother's grave, so I decided to go via the Observatory.
Besides,
"Althena-chan, are you alright?"
"Yep!"
The White Dragon Princess also participated. Of course, El-san and Vermilion-san, who was visiting, were there too.
After visiting the grave, we were walking down the mountain path towards the harbor, and the White Dragon Princess seemed to be having a good time, which was nice.
Vermilion-san said he'd give her a piggyback ride if she got tired, so I figured it would be fine to leave it to him.
Well, that Vermilion-san was also carrying the original Ancient Magic Storage box.
"~~~?"
"Yeah, that's fine."
Halfway down the slope leading to the harbor, Sweee, as usual, wanted to go gather Camlus Fruit.
Of course, it was okay, but,
"Mion and the others, why don't you go too?"
"Yes!"
I watched Mion take the White Dragon Princess and El-san towards the Camlus field, while Lupi and the others, and Vermilion-san, headed towards the tavern.
"Just put the luggage down anywhere."
"Alright."
I thought about putting down the luggage and cleaning, but the Selkies had already cleaned it up.
Vermilion-san put down the storage box and seemed a bit idle, so,
"Is the alcohol in the storage room?"
"Meow."
I asked Shal, who always transports alcohol for us with the Silver Cat Delivery service, to guide me, and we went to the back storage room.
Regarding the alcohol, Sweee had left it to Shal and Pan, and it should have been shipped to the Dragon Capital periodically.
I don't know the details, but I've heard that aging it in barrels makes it taste better.
"Whoa, there's quite a lot…"
At a glance, I felt there were 10 barrels, no, more than 20.
According to Shal, they often make it when Mion and I aren't around. No wonder we've been running short on barrels lately.
Looking next to me, Vermilion-san had sparkling eyes, so,
"Uh, please, help yourself, but don't get drunk."
"My apologies!"
I didn't know which barrel contained which alcohol, so I had Shal explain it to me as I checked.
Wine, Bourbon, Aquavit, Malt Whisky, Silvina (catnip) wine. Quite a variety…
"Alright. This one."
Vermilion-san said, lifting one barrel. He seemed to like Bourbon.
He'll probably finish it all today and take another barrel as a souvenir.
"Kyuu~♪"
"Whoa there."
I caught True, who had jumped at me.
"Kyukyu~"
"Yeah. Let's go now."
We need to check the pots (sunk?) we set last time.
If we can get an octopus, I'll add octopus kara-age and octopus marinara. Can I make something like takowasa with Krupesauce too?

"The second semester starts next Monday~ Is everyone ready to switch gears~?"
When I came to the Virtual Club Room after finishing dinner and washing dishes, Yata-sensei said something like that.
Indeed, I'd been playing games all day and night this week, so I need to reevaluate my lifestyle.
"Shou-kun. You're coming to my place tomorrow, right?"
"Ah, yeah. Miki, what about you?"
"I want to go!"
Nao-chan's tutoring on Sunday afternoons will apparently resume once the second semester starts.
Well, tomorrow is the last day of summer vacation, so it might be good to just relax.
"Yes. Buchou, won't you come too?"
"Eh? Is that alright?"
"Of course."
Tomorrow, Majo Bell has a live stream in the evening, where she's going to talk about the Southern Island's public release.
However, she's apparently already in the Necropolis, so there's no need to rush preparations.
We're all gathered, but IRO feels a bit bland, so maybe we should go shopping or something?
………
……
…
I woke up in the loft of the old tavern's backroom.
After petting Lupi, who was nuzzling me, I went outside, and Leda and Roy ran up to me.
""Bow""
"Morning. Where are the White Dragon Princess and the others?"
Both looked towards the embankment at my question.
Beyond the embankment, Vermilion-san was fishing, and the White Dragon Princess seemed to be playing near the lighthouse. El-san is with her, so it should be fine.
"Shou-kun, Lupi-chan. Where are Sweee-chan and the others?"
"Woof?"
"Bow."
Apparently, they went to the Camlus field with True and the others.
The live stream is in about 30 minutes, so I guess I should go call them.
"Catching anything?"
"Yeah. Caught quite a bit."
In the pot filled with seawater were five or six rather large Oranjack (horse mackerel). I guess I'll make them into fried fish.
"Can I take these to serve later?"
"Yeah, make me some good food."
Since he said that, I handed them over to the Selkies.
I'll have Leda and Roy go pick up Sweee and the others, and the live stream should start about when they're all gathered.
"Alright, I'll take the Small Magic Boat out for a bit first."
"Alright."
Lupi, True, and I headed from behind the lighthouse into the Ancient Ruins.
Nina had replenished the Mana, so it's good that we can depart anytime.
"Alright, everyone on board~"
"Woof." "Kyuu~♪"
By the way, Nina said the cruising range of this Small Magic Boat is just enough to go around the entire island.
I need to visit that small island I saw from the northwestern grassland someday…
………
……
…
Just a little longer until the live stream starts.
By the way, there are almost 10,000 people waiting for the live stream today.
<10 seconds… 5, 4,…>
"Everyone, welcome to Mion and Shou's Relaxed Showtime! This is Mion, your caster. Nice to meet you!"
[Master Chef] "Is it the harbor today?"
[Lucol] "True-kun, I've been waiting for you~"
[Condene] "Is the White Dragon Princess not here?"
[Satenar] "Last bit of summer vacation healing~"
etcetc...
Come to think of it, this is the last live stream of summer vacation, isn't it?
Well, it's fine if it's the same as always, I guess…
