"Why?  We've got no evidence that the Summoned Hero mechanism arranged for it to happen.  It could have just selected among events that were already happening.  And even if not, you didn't volunteer for a pre-existing Summoned Hero mechanism, never mind your being responsible for setting it up to work that way."

"My native language has an ambiguity between 'I wish that hadn't happened to you' and 'I regret having done that to you' and it's usually just stupid but actually in this case I think the ambiguity itself is about right." Pause. "I wonder if -" If she considers the phonetically memorized lyrics of Alouette can she understand them now.

Unfortunately yes.

"Wow okay. - uh, language thing works on other langauges from my planet."

"If that had any relevant implications they're lost on me right now.  And I'm sorry too, I should have understood what you meant by sorry, it's just - I'm not going to be at my best until the next time I've had a full night's sleep, I suspect."

"Yeah. Let's call it a night. Thanks for everything."

A new day dawns in the same different world.

Is anything going to stop them from collecting enough food and whatnot for the road and being on their way to Cowcorn?

Nope.  On their way to Cowcorn they go.

Any time not otherwise filled by Bella writing in her notebook, Bella asking Haroun questions, other conversations that Bella initiates, Bella looking like she wants to be left alone, Haroun guessing that Bella might want to be left alone, or other necessary activities related to feeding humans and horses, can at will be filled by Haroun's infinite supply of questions about Bella's world.

Bella is mostly happy to talk about her world, though most of their exchanges generate as many questions as they answer. But she also wants to pick up some low-mana spells to practice - can she learn the water spell, say? - and at one point, after they've had lunch:

"So - in historical records - does whoever wins the big dustup just - stick around here in this world?"

Relatively few of the spells that Haroun knows, or that can be found in his textbooks, will work when Haroun tries modifying them to run off two-tenths of mana, which it develops Bella can now deploy safely.  Among the spells that do work are:

『Lighting Bolt』 - shine a pulse of light on something.  Bella would need to use a lot more mana for this to start blasting holes in what it hits.

『Condense Fog』 - produces a very small and faint and brief patch of mist, at least when Bella uses it.

『Temperature Down』 - cools a targeted volume, to a degree depending on the mass and specific heat of what's targeted, and the degree of mana expended.  This spell is supposed to have a much more mana-efficient version that transfers heat instead of quieting it.  That version is usually a Tier-2 Skill, which Haroun of course doesn't know.

『Temperature Up』 - inverse of Temperature Down.

『Endless Fountain』 - inefficient form of Water Magic conjuration that scales linearly with mana and works even in a desert.  Bella can use it to produce a single droplet of water.

『Glow Fog』- combination of Light Magic and Water Magic, good to learn if you're planning to climb the Illusion skill tree.  It does what you'd expect when Bella uses it - small patch of mist, briefly lit from within.

『Evaporate』- combination of Fire Magic and Water Magic that targets heat specifically at liquid-phase rather than solid-phase material in a stationary target.

『Evaporative Glow』- combination of Fire Magic and Water Magic and Light Magic, which lights up all the liquid-phase matter to be targeted, and heats only that matter for so long as Bella maintains the spell, with the lighting leaving the material as soon as it changes to gaseous phase.  This is one of the more advanced spells at Haroun's current level, which Bella can rattle off without apparent difficulty.  If Bella keeps the casting rate down to a twentieth of a mana per second, she can maintain the spell apparently indefinitely while feeling clumsy and tired.

『Sparkles』- decorative tiny sparks that cast anisotropic light, the radiance and hue differing by the direction the spark is viewed, with further addenda to the spell producing 『Dancing Sparkles』 that move through the air and change their outputs.  Haroun can't cast this spell yet.  Bella can read it off just fine, though she only gets one or two sparkles and they fade soon after.

"Well, yeah.  The Summoned Hero before the Summoned Hero before you went around afterwards killing all the kings who'd legalized slave collars - I think I already mentioned that?"

"Yeah but after that? I don't know how long that takes."

"Uh.  Not much data to work off of, unless you're a High Elf.  The last Summoned Hero died in a mutual wipeout with the Demon Lord.  I don't remember hearing much about what happened to the previous-previous Summoned Hero besides the slave collar thing.  Something something legendary monster got curbstomped(*) if I'm recalling correctly.  Er, I mean the monster got curbstomped(*), not the Summoned Hero.  I guess I imagine the Summoned Hero died of old age, because I'd be likely to hear about it if they'd died any ways more spectacular than that?"

(*) Lit. 'eaten like a grape'.

"Okay."

Continued riding brings them to a smaller town than Relis, where they stop for the night.

The nicest inn here doesn't have nice hot showers, though there's much more expensive options if you're a passing noble.  There's a communal bathing area if Bella wants to go in for 4 copper.  Haroun will definitely do that on his end, if Bella has no objection.  There's also a much smaller Guild office, if Bella wants to visit it and look for fetch quests.

Bella is not herself up for a communal bath for "uh, cultural reasons". Are their finances tight enough that she needs a fetch quest?

At the rate they're spending money, they should be able to travel three more days past this and arrive in Cowcorn with a little safety margin, so long as they don't eat any especially fancy dinners.

She doesn't require any especially fancy dinners unless 'no beef in' is fancy.

There's plenty of people in this kingdom who don't eat things with 『Qualia』 - meal options for them are very widely available.  Dinner isn't especially tasty by the standards of Earthly cuisine, but it's palatable and filling.

Dawn comes.  The shades on Bella's current room aren't as nice; she might get woken up a little earlier than usual.

Then she will get up and say "』』』』" and proceed with the remainder of the journey to Cowcorn.

"⊥』』』⊥" Haroun corrects.  "And I should've remembered about that yesterday, sorry."

"Right." She says it correctly this time.

They eat breakfast and continue on their way.

On this day's journey, they approach a red-wooden bridge over a small creek.

"This is the part where I dig up my buried treasure," she mentions.
