"You've heard what I said from a while ago right mister? Even among dwarf blacksmiths, the only ones who could work on first-class stuff like mithril were the personal pupils of the old master. An ordinary working-class dwarf like me only makes swords from normal iron at best. I don't do mithril."The dwarf man who has been pressed for an answer declares so while shrugging his shoulder as if spitting it out."That can't be... Then where should I buy it? I've especially come here from Gururian city.""I duYeso such thing even if you ask me."It seems that even the dwarves don't know how to deal with the man who's lamenting exaggeratedly."There's a lot of people like that during this season. With the month changing in 8 days, the once-in-three-years martial tournament will open in the capital, so people are coming here looking for mithril weapons."After explaining it, Jojori-san says, "I'll go for a bit", and goes to quell the dispute. There are a lot of hidden bodyguards, so she shou
I'm told that the granddaughter of elder Dohar will be my wife if I stay, so I promise Zajir-san who glares at me when he hears that to part away, thus we leave Bollhart city behind.The nearest city is four days away.Since the path there is a mountain trail, it'll probably be five days.There are several carriages going in the same direction as us, but since our speeds are different, we're not moving in the caravan. It seems that normally, even if the moving speeds are different, many carriages join together to evade thieves, monsters and beasts.Since we wouldn't be able to craft, experiment, and do training if we were together with other merchants, I try not to intrude on each other's turf as much as possible.Even so, there are times when we meet them during the break, so I've put dummy barrels, boxes, and various luggage around.Currently, the coachman is Lulu. Kagari installed a cushion on the driver's seat during our stay in Bollhart City, so it looks comfortable now. It seems
"Master, it seems that the road is split at the foot of the mountain ahead. Which way should we go?"Having been called by Lulu from the coachman's seat, I stopped the experiment."Nice, Lulu! Now now, you must go quickly!""Flirting, end."Kagari pushes my back to hurry me to the coachman's seat. I leave Tama who's sleeping on my lap to Mia. Pochi is sleeping on Nana's lap. Very enviable, I wonder if she'd let me take her place if I gave her meat during the meal.I thought Mia's line was a false accusation, Nana and I were only facing each other for the experiment, and we were not flirting.I was only trying to check the limit of [Signal] magic; whether we could receive a signal from [Signal] magic if there was no receiver, so Nana and I were sitting face-to-face with each other.In addition, since I wasn't allowed to stare at Nana's breasts, I looked at her face, but they were still saying bad things."Really, on top of gazing at each other, you two were even locking hands, really!"
God is mean.Even though the unpleasant male soldiers have disappeared, and it'd finally be comfortable, I have to accompany the young lady on a journey...I dream of wearing that cute maid uniform again, but I endure it for now."Pina-san, Pina-san, Karina-sama has gone off, is it alright not to stop her?"The subordinates are calling me who's deep in thought. As it turns out, the other maids who accompany the young lady with me are the problem children, Taruna and Erina, god is really mean.I put off the grieving for later, and see in the direction Erina's finger points to, my face turns pale.The young lady has been peeking on the cliff below since a while ago, but then she jumps down it without hesitation."Young lady."I rush up to the edge of the cliff in a hurry, but it's probably too late now. Ah, how incompetent of me to not even be able to stop the young lady's suicide. I'll be fired from my precious workplace too. I might be downgraded to be a slave. Considering the pamperi
A large river is flowing 100 meters away from the highway our wagon is running on. It can't be seen now since there's a hill obstructing it, but it'll be visible in about 10 minutes. A large ship is currently going in the same direction, we might be able to see it.There's an 800-kilometer-long great river in this territory. From the Daregan city that we ignored yesterday, the river connects to four cities starting from the capital.If the traveler's journal is to be believed, the canal is made by a large empire that precedes the Shiga kingdom. It was made with magic, right? I think the figures of giants and golems doing public construction works are great.Calculating for a bit, if they use soil magic like I used the other day, they could make 2-3 kilometers long canal in a day, so the whole canal would probably be completed if they worked hard for a year. As expected of fantasy. A large construction works sounds quite easy.I understand that the Oyugock dukedom is vast after seeing
"No, you can't, master."Lulu looks at me with an anxious face."It's alright. Now, relax yourself.""Y, yes."I put my hands on the waist of Lulu who's frightened while inching back, leaning her body on me."Let's go, Lulu.""I, I can't. It's too big.""You don't need to worry. Believe what I say."While calming Lulu who's still anxious, I put my hands on top of Lulu's delicate hands.And--Lulu's finger pulls the magic gun.At the waterfall basin that spreads before our eyes below, there are six giant monsters resembling newts that exceed 10 meters acting as they please. The monster's name is Hard Newt, and their special ability is acid breath it seems.Every one of them is in upper level 20s, they're relatively strong.There's a reason why I take Lulu along for monster hunting despite frightening her.During the Muno incident, Pochi's level had become lower than the others, so I took her on a monster-hunting date when there were monsters on the highway near our camping ground. Kaga
"When you get to Gururian city, don't miss out on eating the round red bean paste! However since it's one big copper coin for one, it's not easy to have one. For a merchant like Brother, you'd get laughed at by your business partners if you've never eaten one.""What kind of sweets is it?""Umm~ you make this white lump and put the sweet black lump as the main part around it."The sisters who are with us at the campground before Gururian city is talking about the established sweet in the city. It's somehow an imaginable, yet misleading explanation."You've never eaten one either have you? This girl becomes interested in the sweet after a merchant boasts about it in the village.""Fuhn. When I get my wages at the apprenticeship, then. I'll eat it first and foremost~.""Wages you say, it'll be years before that."As I understand, these sisters come from a village nearby to be apprentices in a merchant store at Gururian city. "Master, the merchants seem to be departing.""Then, we shoul
The demon that has appeared in Gugurian city is of the same grade as the one from Muno city. The species is of the same Short Horn demon too, level 30, and it also has the same skills, [Strength], [Hard Body], [Transformation], [Flame Palm]; it has no magic skills. It's a demon totally suited to become a vanguard.Nevertheless, I was certain that there was no demon before we entered this city. Or rather, I could affirm that there's no demon in the whole dukedom. It doesn't seem like the demon can teleport, so it's probably sent or summoned by someone.I leave the horses and the wagon to Lulu and Nana, and we go to the street against the escaping crowds. When we're moving, I tell everyone that the one ahead is not a monster but a demon, its level, skills, and things to be careful about during the fight.Occasionally, there are people jumping in the air as if playing trampoline from the direction of the crowds. Even though the demon can't use magic, it doesn't seem to be weak. When the
