Chapter 110 – The Ship Sets Sail, Farewell Republic
I take out a ‘magic recovery potion’ from the item box. It’s a transparent vial containing blue liquid. I wonder If I drink this, will my magic power recover?
[Magic Recovery Potion]
[Effect]
Restores a small amount of magic power.
The item details were simple.
Anyway, I’ll give it to Havamar to drink. I slowly bring the mouth of the bottle to her mouth, and she leans in to drink it. It feels like I’m giving milk to a baby or a small animal.
“H-how is it? Well, now that I think about it, this is quite embarrassing.”
“Puhaa… It was delicious, big brother.”
“Well, that’s good.”
My heart skipped a beat.
Havamar was also blushing.
I wonder what it is… a strange sense of embarrassment has taken over me.
What on earth, why…?

When I returned to the ship, the food was ready.
“Welcome back, Rasty-san. Havamar-san.”
“Welcome back, both of you.”
I was greeted by Skor and Strelka, and we took our seats. I was surprised by the luxurious food.
“I-it’s kind of extravagant, isn’t it?”
Rice, meat, noodles, seafood, salad, dessert… all piled high. There’s so much! But everything is just to my liking. It’s been a long time since I had such luxurious food, not since the Empire.
“Actually, I secretly asked Alfred-san about Rasty’s food preferences!”
Skor puffed out her chest and spoke with pride. I see! That’s why all the food is to my liking. Alfred… nice.
I quickly picked up the spoon and took a bite of the garlic rice. I savored the taste as I chewed. …Delicious. The rich flavor is just to my liking. I never thought I’d be able to each such a luxury.
“H-how is it?”
“Yeah, it’s delicious, Skor.”
“I’m glad! Please enjoy as much as you like.”
“Yeah, I will.”
As I continued eating, Strelka offered me some food.
“Um, would you like to try my cooking as well?”
“Is this Peperoncino… let’s see.”
I twirled the pasta around my fork and brought it to my mouth. The refine flavor of olive oil spread through my mouth. …Delicious! The balance of pepper and parsley is perfect
It was so delicious that I couldn’t help but gobble it up.
“It seems like you enjoyed it!”
“Yeah, it was amazing, Strelka. I feel so content and happy.”
“I’m glad, yes… really”
Somehow, even Strelka seemed to feel happy. She must have been glad that it turned out well. This was also thanks to Skor. I think it’s good that the two of them were able to reconcile somehow.
“I think I’ll have some seafood too.”
“Yes, that was stored in a magic freezer, so you should be able to enjoy an almost fresh taste.”
“That’s amazing.”
“Oh, right. We should set sail soon. We won’t arrive by tomorrow if we don’t combine travel and navigation. Is that okay, Rasty-sama?”
“If that’s the case, I don’t mind. Then, please go ahead.”
“Yes, then we’ll set sail.”
Strelka clapped her hands, and the ship began to move on its own.
“Oh, what’s going on?”
“It’s automatic piloting by the Great Spirit. Okeanos is the ocean itself, so it can move freely.”
As expected of a summoner.
I didn’t know she could do this much.
Amidst my admiration, Skor skewered a bite-sized piece of meat with a fork and brought it to my mouth.
“Huh? Skor?”
“Yes, say ‘aah’ ♡”
“Um…”
As I was confused, Strelka got annoyed and handed me a piece of meat too.
“Rasty-sama, here! Say ‘aah’ ♡”
“Eh!?”
Strelka too!
And finally, it turned into a battle. Skor and Strelka took turns bringing meat close to my mouth. But why are they doing this!?
“Strelka-san! Rasty-san looks troubled!”
“And Skor-san, you promised not to do ‘aah’. Traitor!”
“Y-you’re so noisy…”1`U , urusaidesu ne……’
Ah… it was such a nice atmosphere.

――After finishing the meal, my stomach was full. It’s been a while since I ate so much. I don’t think I can’t move for a while. Back in my room, I lay down on the bed. Come to think of it, it’s been a while since I had such a comfortable bed.
It’s fluffy and looks great. Now, tomorrow, we’ll arrive in the Elven country. Let’s sleep…
