"How was Glades?"

"A lot of things came from Bilderna and Brannor, and it was a good country."

"Yeah, I guess. It was when I was 14. I had joined the Knights of Bilderna and was honing my sword skills. I saw a sweet called bullets that had come from Glades. I was instantly hooked. I wanted to eat more of those fluffy, chewy treats, so I went to the Royal Library to look for a recipe to make them myself. After three days of searching, I finally found the recipe for bullets. I cried out in joy. I was angry at the library staff. However, to make bullets you need a spice called Megalino, which is in circulation in the Glays. I took a week off and set off on horseback for the Glays. I didn't encounter any monsters so I was able to enter the Glays in two days. It was already evening by then so the shops were closed and I decided to stay the night and go buy some. However, I ended up getting bullets at the inn. I was so moved that I cried. I asked the shopkeeper for another one, but he said there were only a limited number, and I cried again. The shopkeeper was dumbfounded, though. The day after a frustrating night, I went looking for Megalino. I looked everywhere, but it wasn't for sale anywhere. I was devastated, wondering if the information I had received was wrong. So I confronted the spice shop owner. I asked him if they wouldn't sell Megalino to outsiders. The shop owner replied that the season for Megalino was over, and it would be next year again. In other words, last night's bullets were the last of the year. I cried. I was crying like a man. I'd taken a week's paid leave, but because of my lack of research it had all been a failure. The other knights burst into laughter when they saw me come back empty-handed. It was pitiful. But I didn't give up. I thoroughly researched it when I had time, and the next year, I took paid leave again and headed to Glays. As soon as I arrived in Glays, I looked for Megalino while eating bullets. It seemed like my research had borne fruit, because I was able to get Megalino right away. I hugged the bag full of Megalino and kissed it. The clerk looked stunned, but that didn't matter. I immediately returned to Bilderna and used the remaining paid leave to start making bullets. However, even if I made it according to the recipe, it didn't turn out well. I tried changing the heat and adjusting the time, but I couldn't get that chewy and fluffy texture. The taste was right. The recipe was correct, but in the end I used up all the Megalino. It's a strange story, isn't it? You can laugh if you want. And the following year, I quit the Bilderna Knights. To concentrate on making bullets. The day after I quit, I rode my horse to Glays to work under a bullet craftsman. However, the stores selling bullets disappeared, and instead, a sweet called cutlet became popular. I was pushed to the brink of despair. But I was able to meet the chef at the inn where I stayed two years ago, and I asked him to teach me how to make it. It was a stroke of luck. I tried making it, and it turned out to be nothing, just the type of oil used was different. The recipe for Bilderna only mentioned oil, and it was different from the oil used at the Glades. I made the effort to quit the Knights, but I couldn't see that simple fact. So I want you to live your life in a way that you won't regret."

"Really..."

"Hey, Elliot, the bridge is about to be built."

"Oh, sure. I'm on my way."

"Good luck, young man."

Elliot said goodbye to Anabas Burland, who was standing by the Asura Canal.

"You've been talking for a long time. Do you know me?"

"No, I don't know you at all."

"You shouldn't follow strangers."

"I'm not that kind of kid anymore."

Kate, who had been on Elliot's shoulder, also returned. "You've finally finished talking. You got bored halfway through so you went for a walk."

The four of them crossed the Asura Canal, where the boats had stopped and a movable bridge had been built.
