Kenichi then tried his hand at making biodiesel, succeeding but at the cost of leaving Anemone to herself for a few days. She was sour with him for this, but a trip to Astrantia was all it took to get her excited again. Kenichi first headed to Astrantia’s Adventurer’s Guild, registering himself and Myaley with them. After doing so, he treated the three of them to some food, which they weren’t thrilled with due to being accustomed to Kenichi’s excellent cooking.
