When I hear about the phantom food stalls that existed before we came here, I can’t help but crave for them.
Yes, the test sales of the Schenkers did not just start suddenly this season.
According to Mince-san, a veteran Schenker member, just this spring, there was a stall that sold American dog which is like a sausage donut.
Does a sweet sausage really exist?
Kugghhhh! I want to taste it!
I heard that there were many food stalls before that but I’m pretty sure that our Sawadi-sama invented them all.
Yeah, I wonder if it’s possible to somehow get them to tell us the route of the stalls…..I guess that would be difficult without becoming an executive, right?
As I hammered the drilling tool into the hard leather, I was thinking about all of these things.

『Number Four, Baroness Arcelica Tezion』
「Whoooaaahhh!!!」
「TE ZI ON!! TE ZI ON!!」
『The rules allow the use of magic at this turn. The back of the net will be a very dangerous place so everyone who wants to stay there are at their own risk.』
「But you can see madam’s beam ball here clearly……」
「The catcher the other day coughed up a lump of blood because of that, right? Sawadi-sama is the catcher today, is he going to be alright?」
「Don’t worry, they say that he’s immortal as long as he doesn’t die instantly.」
I was at the baseball field alone while carrying up a pile of hot dogs. Today’s match is a battle between nobles so excitement can be heard everywhere.
Today, I came to watch this baseball game with my roommate.
These days, the regular betting halls are deserted and boring but now, all the gamblers are betting.
You can only bet on games between nobles after all.
According to the rules made by Sawadi-sama, it is forbidden to bet on games between commoners’ teams.
As for the reason? I don’t know!
「Hey, Casio, are you hungry?」
「Yeah」
「Here, eat this, it’s good.」
「Thanks」
Casio is still just a 12 year old boy, smiling as he takes a bit at the hotdog I just gave him.
He has been my roommate since he and I were bought.
There are many female children in our family but he is the only male child.
I figured he must be bored being alone so I take him out with me whenever we have a day off together.
If I don’t, he will stay in his room all day and will do all kinds of work which is not healthy.
「Hey, madam is going to throw her magic ball.」
「Hnn? Ah, you rarely see that. Everyone’s making a lot of noise already.」
「You know, the pitcher who throws the ball, the catcher who receives it, and the batter who hits it, must all be mages before a magic ball is thrown.」
「Ah, is that so?」
「That’s exactly the reason why Sawadi-sama is playing on madam’s team today. It was written in the “Noble’s Baseball Manual” that was kept at the headquarters.」
I wiped his mouth, which was happily talking while looking at me.
He’s already covered in ketchup.
「Baseball manual? What’s that?」
「It’s a book made by Sawadi-sama. There are two versions, one of the nobles and one for the commoners. I’ve read both.」
「Book? You can read something that difficult?」
「Yeah」
I knew he could read signs and such but I didn’t know he could even read books.
Kids these days are terrifying.
「Ah! She’s going to throw!」
On the ground, to which Casio pointed, madam, an ex-military officer, swung with all her might and threw the ball straight at Sawadi-sama.
A line of light was drawn straight from madam’s hand to Sawadi-sama and the thick leather armored Sawadi-sama was blown to the back and rolled several times.
Terrifying. That’s enough to kill demon beasts.
Sawadi-sama immediately got up and walked back to position but I wonder if he’s alright.
Mages are really terrifying.
「I beg you, White Beam Slayra…..if you lose today, I won’t be able to make it through the year……」
「They’re down five runs in the 7th inning, I give up. I’ll just dig a hole tomorrow since they serve food there.」
「I don’t want to dig holes in cold during the new year’s holiday!」
Madam beat out the opponent’s 4th batter but listening to the drunks around, it seems like the odds were not in our favor.
Maybe I should have bet on the other team.
