It was already late in the afternoon when we arrived on the street of Nouki town. The disposal of the thieves took more time than I had thought.This town is the second biggest town within Earl Kuhanou's territory, it's situated in the typical fashion of a trading town. Nevertheless, the population is not more than 20000. The land size is also only about a fourth of Seryuu city. 30% of the population are slaves, but most are general or lower slaves, while criminal slaves are quite a few.The thieves--they were confirmed as thieves with the usual Yamato stone--were sold to slave traders that the gatekeeper had called. The men were worth 2 silver coins a person. The ones with bow or weapon skills and higher-leveled were even more expensive, but the women were cheaper. A middle-aged woman was worth only 1 silver coin.As a reward for suppressing the thieves, I was given 10 copper coins per head. Was the price right?The total amount to 48 silver coins and 140 copper coins. With this much

"Shield"A transparent shape that looks like a Shield appears in front of me who's holding a short cane. The size is large enough to cover my whole body."Here I go~ Psycho Ball."The invisible magic ball fired by Kagari got repelled by the Shield and disappeared.Oh, a new indicator has appeared below my HP bar, [Shield HP], it says. The HP is 100, and it has decreased by one from Kagari's attack earlier. I wait for a while, but it's not restoring back."Is it alright for the next one?""Come at me.""Here I go Tsubaki-kun! This is, my Overdrive shoot!"Kagari fires Shock Wave while parodying something. The Shield shooks from that attack, but it's repelled just like with the psycho ball earlier.This time the Shield's HP decreases by 3 points. So it doesn't decrease by a fixed value, but depends on the spell huh?"Then, next, please use Magic Arrow, Nana.""Yes, master."A magic circle appears before Nana's forehead and the magic arrow is shot from there.The magic arrow disappears a

We've just entered the territory of Baron Muno, so I perform [All Map Exploration] like usual.It seems that there's a soldier garrison on the pass slightly ahead. There are 20 soldiers around with levels ranging from 3 to 7. Coming out of that place is a flat terrain with sporadically situated small mountains and forests. The area is wider than Kuhanou's earldom. However, the whole population is only around 40000, about 1/3th of Seryuu city.There is only one big city in the baron's territory, while the rest are just small villages with less than 1,000 people each. The town where the baron lives is populated with 20,000 people and seems to be called Muno City.In that Muno city, there's a demon. Level 30. Hiding in the city means it's probably doing something fishy. Since it looks troublesome, I would stay as far away as possible from it.But, didn't Kagari say that demons that had crossed worlds are executive class? I don't think that it's an executive with this level. I wonder if d

"Master, there's someone ahead.""There~."Pochi who's occupying my lap finds traces of someone ahead. I've confirmed it on the map, but I can't see it yet."Ah, it went inside the forest."It seems Scout-kun had gone to call its friends.They're thieves, but this time it's a bit different. They're children ranging from 9 to 14 years old. There are three boys and six girls. Their Reward and Punishments are just [Contract Breach]. Since their titles are [Runaway Slave], they're probably children who have run away from villages. Their stamina is all less than half.Indeed, it'd be pitiful to beat them up right?"What's on there?""Group of boys thieves.""What's that, I'm burning up!"I consulted with Kagari and Liza about their reward and punishment."Runaway slaves is it? Then, our reward and punishment won't change even if we kill them, so I think there's no need to worry."No, Liza-san, I don't have such worry."How about ignoring and going through them?　Or do you want to get more l

"U, umm, thank you for the delicious meal.""You don't have to mind it, everyone has thanked me earlier too.""Also umm, I'm sorry for the afternoon."It's the red-haired girl from the afternoon. She's called Totono if I'm not mistaken. She's personally coming to our camping ground to meet me, does she have some business?The girl is looking downcast, but after she glances a bit at Lulu, her face becomes determined.She grasps her skirt with trembling hands and seemingly decides something.It can't be another, "Please buy me.", the situation right?To be frank, I'm fed up with that.However, the girl's action is a bit different.She takes her skirt off. I've said skirt, but her clothes a one piece, so I could see her ribs----or I should be, but Lulu covers her with an apron in a hurry from behind, so I couldn't see it. Let's leave this as it is.It doesn't seem like she'd wear her clothes back, but she also doesn't brush off the apron."T, this is an apology and thanks. We can't do a
