Between the shelves displaying hundreds of snacks.

There stood Caesar.

‘It’s a bit… uncomfortable.’

Even if I tried to think that a foreigner had come to a Korean mart, his face was still a face, making it seem like a movie set.

“This is a mart from the world where I used to live… I mean, it’s like a store. Very big.”

While I was just wandering around, he opened his mouth.

“So, all these items came from here.”

“Yes. Probably other transmigrators were connected to places similar to mine.”

Spaces that fit the era in which those people lived.

It could be a hole shop, or it could be a traditional market.

“What did you come to find this time?”
“I need a drink for the social gathering. I came up with a very good idea.”

I led him to the beverage corner.

Various carbonated drinks were displayed on the refrigerated shelves.

‘This is it!’

Cola, cider, orange, grape, and even carbonated water!

‘When feeling frustrated, irritated, or sad!’

Carbonated drinks were truly magical beverages that could wash away anxiety in an instant.

I brought the box Hyang-i gave me to the front of the display.

“You can take them if you put them in here.”

Caesar looked down at the box with a bewildered expression.

“What on earth is that dragon thinking?”

“I also thought about it at first. It’s easier to give up on understanding.”

As I smiled broadly, Caesar closed his mouth.

We transferred the carbonated drinks by type and returned to reality.

‘She must have gone first.’

I couldn’t hear Rebecca’s voice, who was lamenting so hard.

I would look for that young lady later; for now, I decided to concentrate on what was right in front of me.

The box only existed in the mart.

Instead, the table was full of carbonated drinks that I had put in earlier.

“…How am I supposed to carry all of this?”

Fifteen 1.5-liter PET bottles.

‘I should have gone back to the palace.’

I ended up complicating things in my haste.

What if we distribute them?

“I’ll take four, and Caesar can…”

“Why would you?”

Caesar, who seemed to not understand, reached for the PET bottles.

Stacking PET bottles on my arm, he pointed to the last remaining one.

“Put it on.”

I, captivated by the unexpected display of strength, dumbfoundedly picked it up.

‘Tetris…?’

Even though I put it on the top layer, Caesar didn’t lose his balance.

But leaving like this was also a problem.

“Just wait a moment!”

I covered the PET bottle tower with a cloak and coat.

‘I managed to cover it, but…’

The sight of what I was holding looked suspicious.

I wondered if he might trip on the stairs, but Caesar behaved as if he wasn’t holding anything.

Just when the waiter, who recognized me, tried to greet us.

“Goodbye, sir…”

As the waiter stopped talking, all the gazes on the first floor focused on us.

There seemed to be a lot they wanted to ask, but since the other party was the Duke called a madman, they didn’t dare.

Today, the usually kind Caesar kindly answered.

“I took care of a troublesome guy. I can’t leave trash here.”

You should be grateful, right?

The atmosphere turned awkward with his last words.

The frozen waiter hurriedly replied.

“T-Thank you! Goodbye!”

With an inexplicable word of thanks as the farewell, we could finally leave the cafe.

There are good and bad points about this place.
The downside is that there are many people outside, and the upside is that everyone made way because what Caesar is holding is eerie.

‘Caesar, I’m sorry.’

I sincerely apologized.

In the end, Caesar became a faithful porter all the way to the carriage.

Back at the palace, I began to organize what I brought with me along with preparations for the party.

‘This should be enough.’

If it’s not enough, I can bring more in a dream, right?

There should be no mishaps like earlier.

Finally, it was evening.

The first day of the social gathering.

Nobles gathered to seek their own benefits, engaging in conversations in their respective corners.

At that moment, a wave of priests led by Elsia entered the banquet hall.

“Could you please pay attention for a moment?”

Elsia’s voice echoed through the spacious hall.

Nobles stopped their conversations, turning their ears to her words.

“To commemorate my assumption of the position of the Holy Maiden, I would like to present a gift to everyone at the social gathering.”

With Elsia’s words, priests came forward carrying trays.

Inside were beautifully arranged small crystal bottles.

‘As expected.’

Each crystal bottle had the emblem of the Shaina Goddess drawn on it.

Inside, clear water sparkled.

That was holy water.

Not only did I recognize it, but all the nobles gathered in the room widened their eyes.

‘That’s natural. One bottle of that is incredibly expensive.’

Holy water, made by incessant prayer day and night, was as precious as the blood, sweat, and tears of the priests.

Although they might have already brought what was made, it was difficult to estimate how many priests had been squeezed to make all of that.
