Upcoming Misfortune

"So we're going to the Lakeside town to buy food materials?" Hajime asked.

Izumi nodded and said with a smile.

"Yes...I have also heard that the lakeside town has plenty of rivers. That's why the town's outskirts are the continent's number one rice-producing area."

"… … Rice farm?" This time it's Yue.

"Ou, in other words it's the rice. Rice. It's the staple food of my hometown, Japan. I haven't eaten it even once since I came here. So, although I don't know if it is the same thing or not, I want to hurry to eat it." Hajime energetically explained to his lover.

Izumi grinned watching Hajime's reaction..

"Did they have shopping district for women?...um what was that town called again?"

"It's the Lakeside Town called Ul.." Grayfia reminded Tio....then waited for Izumi to say something.

After all it was necessary for them... well, only for Grayfia because Izumi tore all her remaining panties and she was using her emergency ones.

Izumi sweated under their gazes even Shia and Yue had their ears perked up.

He gulped down, then pondered for a moment.

Even though it's most inhabitants are farmers, there should be some normal people living and some women related shops should be there..

"Worry not, you can go on a shopping there if you want but I don't know whether the things you need will be available or not.. since we're going there for foods items and it's not a adventure town."

Izumi gathered his courage to give a satisfied answer, because he himself don't know whether there would be shopping district or not since in the canon it was never shown..

He answered simply relaying on his guts feeling.

"It's okay.. Foods matters first so we'll think about our needs when we reach there.. " Grayfia was the first one to speak, and others agreed with her.

"Shall we go in one car or two? Or We teleport there?" Hajime asked the most question...

"Teleportation is not necessary when we have ways to go there...Let's go in our respective cars.. It would too uncomfortable in one car and sitting with too many people without even getting to breathe or move properly...Not counting, that we'll traveling non-stop for two days..."

Izumi advised and all of them nodded as this was the best idea...

Izumi entered his Sleipnir and Hajime, his (check wiki)..

Sitting arrangements 🤣😂 Even though it's obvious who went with whom..

Grayfia, Tio and Shia sat in Izumi's Sleipnir, while Hajime and Yue in Hajime's new Brise..

With that they left for Ul... Let's see what kind of 'trouble' awaits them..

As for Haulia, Izumi had already informed them of their travel and told them to keep on training and eat properly....

(A/N: The Ul incident won't be happening as Izumi had changed the story by meeting Tio first, but I've other plans for that mob character, the crazy, Shimizu.. He'll die for sure.... I'm saying sorry in advance for his fans though 🤣.)

_________

After some intense racing during these two days, everyone arrived in Ul.

Izumi was the happiest one since he got to drive at insane speed without fearing any fines or traffic.. Grayfia was sighing in the background.

The girls were happy for another reason as they finally got to eat something, especially Rice.. They all heard it was regular food in Izumi's world.

Izumi stored away his baby, Hajime was same.... And walked towards a particular Inn called Water Fairy Inn.

Hajime grinned madly when he smelled something that he had been looking forward all this time..

Too bad, He didn't noticed that Izumi had a smirk on his face and looking at him like he found some entertainment..

Izumi knew what exactly is coming next.. He couldn't help, but get very excited for Hajime's upcoming misfortune.

He was sure the plot-kun won't play tricks on him like with Shia's case.

They entered the Inn and Izumi led them to the counter, where they saw a middle aged man was standing.

"It's pleasure to meet you Sir.. I'm the owner of this humble Inn, Foss. I assume you all are Adventurers?"

The owner Foss greeted them with a smile since he could tell they are very rich despite being younger than him....and only one who could become rich aside from royalty are adventures.. So his guess was right.

"Yes....I heard you're providing private room for meals.. I wonder if you could get us one.. And don't worry about money....here." Izumi requested and could see the owner was hesitating when being asked about private room, so he used his 'regular' move.

He pulled out a stack and threw it towards the owner.

All his hesitation vanished when he saw what was inside.... He looked at Izumi and said respectfully..

"Of course, we have a vacant room, please follow me.."

All of them followed him and arrived infront of big room and the owner handed over the key..

"Please take your time to order, Mister."

"Izumi."

"Mister Izumi, please call one of our staff standing there. They'll surely bring your meals and everything necessary." Foss pointed at one direction respectfully, then left.

"Where did you get that amount of money?" Hajime asked as soon the owner left.

"Remember those Empire soldiers? I stole all their money and other things, since all of you had forgot about this important factor." He shrugged and went inside.

All of them had their mouth twitched seeing him like that.

"Excuse me..." Grayfia followed after Izumi with, Tio and Shia after her.

"It seems we're slacking off, Hajime." Yue said to Hajime who clicked his tongue in annoyance..

He was now regretting for not thinking of that.

However, he quickly put those asides and smiled again thinking what kinds of food they would order.

Poor guy! Only if he knew that what kind of misfortune awaits him.

He had no idea that all of these are traps.

The reason Izumi chose a private room because he wanted to see his face when he find out that his former classmates and teacher are next to theirs.

If not for upcoming Drama, why would he bother going out of his way to pay huge sum of money?

He's not a walking money bag, alright.

Izumi arrived downstairs and noticed everyone were waiting for him and hadn't ordered.

He sat down with Grayfia standing behind him like a dutiful maid but when he asked her to sit together. They argued with each other resulting in Izumi's win, then he made her sit beside him.

What kind of man he would be if he let his woman stand behind him while he eat peacefully?

He understood why she was reluctant, after all it was going against her maid code...But he was doing this only for today because of the impending drama.

"Is this all?!" Hajime he stood up and asked.

"Wait! I want some Nilshisseer. " Izumi deliberately stopped him as he sensed someone coming this way but was too far, so he had to delay, otherwise everything would come crumbling down.

"Done! Anything else."

Izumi shook his head.

Izumi had noticed from the corner of his eyes that Shia's pouted.

Hajime walked away and had already opened the door, but at the same time a loud voice sounded out from his back.

"HAJIME! SHIA ALSO WANT SOME NILSHISSEER!"

Hajime was obliviously confused, why did he had to screamed like that? And he wasn't the

only one.

Shia blushed as her ears twitched in embarrassment.

Regardless of this, he nodded and was about to turn his head.

Of course, he didn't noticed that someone was standing near the door.

Grayfia furrowed her eyebrows then shot a glare at Izumi who had an innocent look.

"NAGUMO HAJIME!!?"

Hajime froze like a statue when he heard a familiar voice.

Izumi was grinning like a madman in the background.

'Oh~ Keikaku-sama..... You're here on time..'
