The Radar which has only been displaying white dots until now, suddenly shows a lone red dot.It's near.The man pretends to stagger while plunging straight at me. His hands are holding a box wrapped in velvet cloth. A scammer, or should I say a fraudulent extortionist.He's coming with a speed and distance that normally would be unavoidable, but I avoid it naturally.From the surroundings' viewpoint, it probably looks like a man suddenly falls down on his own. The fact that it is, but..."Aaah! My heirloom's pot!"He cried out loud, we cannot not get involved now.After I avoided the man, I confirmed that Liza and Kagari had completely ignored the man and kept walking, properly following me. Seems that Kagari had also noticed it with her Sense Evil."Hey, you! Don't run away!"The man holds the broken pot with one hand and grabs me with the other.Matching the timing with when he grabbed me, I made him faint. The people around should see it as if he fainted because he was too exasper
"We only have horse-carriage cabs here. If you want to buy a carriage then order it on the merchant guild inside the inner wall."I tried talking to the people in the stable areas near the gate, but they didn't sell it there. Is this like trying to buy a car at a taxi stand? I'm a bit ashamed."The merchant guild should have them if you're fine with used ones. They were looking for buyers if I'm not mistaken."A different coachman interrupts while we are talking.I thank him, and then I ride in his carriage cab to the merchant guild. I asked Kagari and Liza to carry the luggage back to the inn.The coachman who has escorted me to the merchant guild kindly mediates with the guild for me."We don't usually sell to people outside of merchant guild members, but since you're introduced by Yosagu-san, let's make an exception."Yosagu is the coachman's name. It doesn't really matter, but the merchant here is Sunifun-san.He showed me two carriages. One of them is a covered wagon. The inside
I sit on the bed while putting the bag on the side.Kagari takes off her mantle as soon as she enters our bedroom, and when she starts to take off her clothes too, I stop her with a chop to her head."Ouchie~ What, didn't you lust for me?""Let's decide that after 10 years.""No way~ This is a chance to violate the precious body of a boy..."While chattering pointlessly, Kagari still proceeds to wear her clothes back and sits on the opposite bed."You said something about consultation at noon, right? Did anything happen?""Wonder where should I begin...""Why don't you tell me all about it? They said that the king has donkey ears~."Doesn't that story end with everything coming to light?"Then how about removing the thing that you don't want to say? Though I couldn't tell it to anyone anyway if you order me not to~.""That's right..."The disposable long-range skill that I had when I first got here? Then I changed the story a little by only telling that it was used to annihilate each
"Demon lord you say, the kind that wants to rule the world?""Yes, the one who wants to destroy the world.""Where is it coming from?""I don't know, maybe hell?""Don't look at me with those eyes~ From what was written in the book, it's said that they're invaders from a foreign world.""Is foreign world different from another world?""I'm not a scholar so I don't know.""Is that 66-year cycle thing true?""Yep, there are records where the demon lord appears a bit sooner or later, but they generally seem to appear in 66 years.""So, it has almost been 66 years now?""It was 62 years ago since the last demon lord, but seems that it has been stealthily gaining power while in hiding. Since the demon lord before the last appeared 132 years ago, it wouldn't be strange if the current demon lord appears any day now."Kagari frowns forming a duck mouth. The beautiful little girl's look is ruined."I see, any sign of its coming?""If the world is in crisis, the god will tell it to the oracle~
It's aggravating to be filled with bad imaginations with no way to prove it. Even if it's the truth, the heroes should win against the demon lord like how it usually goes. If they lose, then I'll take responsibility for defeating the demon lord in place of the dragons.I take a deep breath several times and I'm becoming calm.Having high Mental Strength surprisingly has its merit.I come back to my room. Returning to the main subject.I want to do further verification and alchemy. Since the chanting practice needs to be done steadily, I have no choice but to do it on the way to the labyrinth city.First, let's verify the storage.I take out the meal.It's still warm.I lightly bite it. The taste is still the same.I put back the remaining meal to the storage.It's a bit late, but the item's name is [Seryuu Grill]. It needs a bit more ingenuity.I added a new memo called Storage Verification. I wrote the date and the state on the memo.For now, It can keep something warm, maybe it even
I take Kagari to the wagon. On the way there, I meet Martha-chan in the tavern, but she doesn't look particularly shy and offers me a meal.Since I intend to eat outside with Liza and the girls, I decline.When we got to the courtyard where the wagon was, the 4 girls were waiting while looking bored.When Liza notices me coming, she comes as the representative."Master, is it fine to put the luggage on board?""Let's see... Tomorrow, since we'll be picking more luggage from the merchant guild, let's do that tomorrow, but if we leave them here we'll be troubling the landlady huh."Kagari whispers to me when I'm still thinking about it."Let's keep them in my Item Box? Don't you think that it's safer there?""There are only people we know now, so it's fine I guess."I instruct the girls to pile the luggage inside the wagon for now.The three small girls get up to the wagon to receive the luggage. Since Pochi and Tama have strength stat on par with two large adults, they handle the heavy
I walk the town while enjoying the morning sunlight, feeling refreshed.Yosagu-san was unlike me, yawned constantly looking sleepy. I invited him for breakfast but since he didn't come home his family was probably mad so we decided to part ways outside the shop."If I made it big in the labyrinth city, let's come again.", I shouted him that.Even though it's early in the morning, the people who are having meals on the stalls, and the people who are selling fresh groceries are lively.The vulgar atmosphere that usually permeates in the east district was probably the fault of the visitors.I'm smelling something good from the stalls.Although I'm not particularly hungry, let's buy some souvenirs for the girls. Though I can't buy sushi in wooden box pack like those fathers from Showa era.I buy a big handbasket made from thin wood from a street stall. It's about as big as two rice bowl. I also bought two lidded containers for soup and put it inside the basket.I buy warm meals and put th
The bookstore is kept by the already recovered gray-haired old man, Semone-san isn't in the shop. I'm not able to worship that glorious proportion... regrettable.The shopkeeper gave me the map to Labyrinth City.How do I say this, it's a map that screams, "Measurement? What's that is it tasty?". Although I didn't expect it to have map symbols or contours, it's questionable if this thing has the concept of cardinal directions.My business is over with this, but the shopkeeper, demonstrating his commercial spirit and kindness, recommends me various books.Books that looks like they'll be useful for journeys like, "Journey to Royal Capital", "Dictionary of Herbs", "Carriage Repair Reverse Dictionary", etc, I'm charmed by their titles so I buy all the recommended ones.There are introductory books for woodworking, smithing, engraving, and various manufacture-related books, but since there's no demand and coupled with that they're old books, they don't sell well at all.When I show an int
