Hooray!　

I did it, I did it!　

The two-seater operation was a great success!　

If I called both silvers, I could have ridden them one by one, but I only called No. 1.

Gram-sama's body is squishy and feels good.

Oops, don't stick too close together.

"When you come here, the sea breeze gets stronger and it feels good."

"yes..."

　The entrance to the dungeon is located near the coast.

"I'm glad it's sunny again today.

"Yeah. It's better not to rain."

　I've been the only one to speak since a while ago, and Gram-sama only answers briefly.

As usual, he doesn't speak much, but it doesn't feel like he's rejecting me.

Besides, he was happy when I brought him a figure just now.

I made it in the middle of the night and it was really good.

Since we're going to be dating for a month from now, I think it'll be more fun if we get along.

Besides, Mr. Gram put my figure on the sailing ship model by himself.

In this world, it's taboo for a man to board a ship, so I gave up on the model halfway.

But he said, "This is my ship in my world..."

He didn't have a smile on his face, but I knew at that moment that he was probably a kind person.

"Yes, Gram-sama, do you like banana cake?

"I have time to rest"

　Then you'll be fine.

"It smelled sweet from the morning."

　Oh yeah, why does the combination of butter, eggs, flour and sugar smell so happy when baked?　

Adding bananas makes it even sweeter.

"Um, you don't like it, do you?"

　Gram-sama shook his head.

"I'm looking forward to my break..."

　That's good.

　All the soldiers were paying attention to us when we appeared on the silver.

It seems that Gram-sama and I were an unexpected combination.

"Keep working!"

　Gram-sama's words made everyone rush back to work.

"I was sent in a golem."

　Gram-sama said to Rain-san like an excuse.

I think you can see that when you see it.

Looking at Gram-sama who was dumbfounded, Rain-san only chuckled.

　The work had already started, and I was currently digging a hole around the shrine using earth magic.

"Gram-sama, can I have a closer look?"

"Kamawan, be careful."

"Yes"

　I stopped by to observe the soldiers so as not to disturb them.

Soldiers who use earth magic seem to be sending magic into the earth with their palms.

The soil is undulating like the sea, and little by little it piles up on one side.

"Amazing..."

　A nearby soldier glanced at me.

"Have you never seen magic, brother?"

　When the first magic is attacked...

Not a very good memory.

"It's not like that, but it's the first time that so many people are using earth magic."

"I see. Look!"

　When the soldier fired up, a particularly large wave of soil was lifted up and a large amount of earth and sand was pushed aside.

"Oh! That's amazing!"

　When I clap a little, the soldier rubs the tip of his nose and looks embarrassed.

She's an older sister in her 30s, but she seems to be proud of her strength, or rather her magic.

It's nice to have a big sister...

The muscles of the upper arm are attractive.

"You idiot, don't boast just that much! Onii-chan, watch me carefully!"

　This time, a different person put magic into his hand and used earth magic.

Furthermore, a large amount of earth and sand will be pushed to the side.

"Your sister is amazing too!"

"Hehehe"

　Starting with that, the magic boasting tournament started around me.

Everyone is doing their best to show everyone their good points.

Gram-sama and Rain-san, who came nearby before I knew it, were talking with satisfaction.

"Thanks to Shiro, the work went smoothly."

"yes"

　Women here and men on Earth aren't much different in wanting to show their good side to the opposite sex...

Somehow I want to help the soldiers.

But I can't make enough food for 100 people from now on...

Can I have a small snack?　

Feelings are important for this kind of thing.

"I'll be there for a minute!"

　I jumped on Silver and hurried back to Iwaya.

"Iwao, put a large pot on the fire."

　Put water, sugar, starch syrup, and salt in a pot prepared by Iwao and bring it to a boil.

Just before the liquid in the pot changes color, when the boiling bubbles start to grow, remove it from the heat and put it in the prepared ice water to remove the rough heat.

When it is cool enough to touch with your hands, it is stretched into a stick shape.

Yes, I'm making "salt candy".

Working in a hot place makes you sweat and lacks salt.

The salt here is rich in minerals, so I'm sure it will help everyone.

I added citrus grass essence oil as a secret ingredient.

Iwao helped me stretch the candy, and Goku and others helped me cut it into sticks.

And in about an hour, a large amount of candies are completed.

After all, if you have 11 golems help you, the work will be faster.

I put it in an ice-cold container to keep it from melting and returned to the work site.

"I'm home"

　My eyes met with Gram-sama, who was sweating slightly.

"yes"

"I went home to make this. Gram-sama, one please."

"this is?"

"It's a salt candy. I heard that you should replenish your salt intake when you're sweating. Eating this will lift your spirits. Go ahead."

　When I raised the box and offered a candy, Mr. Gram shyly picked up one and put it in his mouth.

"Delicious. Lemon scent?"

"It was scented with citrus grass."

"Really"

　Gram-sama was so cute rolling candy in her mouth.

"Even so, you made a lot of them."

"Yes.

　Will I get mad at you for doing something selfish?

"I see... Thank you."

　Gram-sama's permission has been granted.

I went to the officers first, and then to each unit.

The first place is the sisters who showed me the magic.

"good work!"

"Oh brother, you're back!"

"Yeah.

"Heh, I'm sorry. Then let's get one."

　The soldier held out his hand that was black with dirt.

"Your hands are covered in mud.

"Mouth?"

"Yeah. I'll throw it in. Yes, ah"

"Oh, oh..."

　I gently threw the salted candy into my open mouth, even though I was embarrassed.

"delicious?"

"Oh, oh..."

　People around me are staring at us.

"There's something for everyone!"

　I handed out candy to the noisy soldiers and walked.

Or rather, I threw candy into everyone's mouths.

After all, no one put their hands on it, and it opened its mouth like a baby bird.

There were still a lot of candies left, so when I thought about making another round, Mr. Rain stopped me.

"Everyone is worried about the male general and the work is delayed. Any more..."

"Um, are candy balls rare in the empire?"

"It's not that candy is rare. It's rare that a man feeds you something. No, it's rare, or rather, it's not normal. It's a story on the level of a fantasy novel. "

　This is what I call a culture gap...

Even on Earth, I don't do much in public...

"Excuse me. I was raised on an island and had no common sense..."

"No, I know the male general doesn't mean anything, but..."

　I felt sorry for Gram-sama and Rain-san by delaying the work.

What should I do....

That's it!

"In that case, let's distribute the candies again when the work is finished. Soldier! Good luck! I'll distribute the candies again when I finish making the moat."

　The noise of the soldiers spread like ripples.

and....

"Uoooooooooooooo!"

　Everyone started working together.

"Good.

"yes..."

　Gram-sama was looking at me in amazement.

"That's right, Gram-sama, would you like to eat another candy?"

　I tried to take one and give it to him, but Gram-sama held out his palm without opening his mouth.

A noble lady doesn't seem to do such a shameful thing as waiting with her mouth open.

Or are you just shy?　

However, I had a good feeling about Gram-sama.
