Chapter 42: 42 \nThe day has come to go to the city. I will wholesale the product at Camiloâs today, and when I pick up the bedding, I will go home, but I am also concerned about the condition of Mr. Mariusâ sword, so I would also like to make sure.\n
Build and load the inventory you create on your luggage car. Not to mention you didnât do a blacksmith job for a week, the load is more than usual, so it weighs but itâs almost an error for me and Rike to pull it off.
âI saw that on my way home two weeks ago. Letâs be very careful going today.â
âOh, leave it to me.â
I decided to offer a short sword to my hips, too. The one who hit Helenâs shortsword again before, but the sharpness is too much, so it would help protect him. Proceed more carefully than usual. Itâs hard to imagine that a wolf would still think that a normal person would pass through a place like this if he were a thief, but Iâve never been cautious. I sandwiched one break along the way and was normally able to get to the forest exit. Pause there once and look around.
âWhat do you say? I donât feel anything.â
If itâs a sign, I can concentrate and feel it. But if the master kills the signs, he wonât know. I donât think we can imitate those thieves, but it would be dangerous if there was one who could do it. I canât even turn this place off, Iâll ask Thermia who can sense the smell.
âYou donât even feel a rattle. Thereâs no smell of blood, no smell of people.â
âAre you okay then? Take care of the streets.â
Donât overlook the signs and go down the street fast enough to deal with any anomalies right away. With caution, I walked slower than usual, but I made it to the city safely. The guard standing is still not Mr. Marius today. This is my colleague, Mr Marius, who came with me to buy a sword.\n
âOh, is that it? Hello.â
âI havenât seen Mr. Marius lately, is something wrong?
I ask straight in. Doesnât seem to make much sense to me to say it away.
âUh⊠heâs been going to the capital for a while.â
A colleague who answers slightly cloudy and moody words. Well, if itâs hard to answer, I canât help it. Until I hear from someone else.
âReally? No, I was wondering how the sword was doing. If you get concerned too, go to Camiloâs and talk to them.â
âOh well. No, Iâve used it a few times, but Iâm fine so far.â
âReally? Thatâs good.â
I responded nicely, but even I felt something hysterical inside. What I made was used (âŠ) and (âŠ), and on top of that, my colleague said that he was safe, the only person who was eligible to use it was small or large, so it wasnât safe. Itâs a weapon for that. But I canât really look away from the fact that someone was hurt by what I made. But I guess I need to be able to digest this properly after I take it. Instead of turning a blind eye or blunt.
Such determination remains in my chest, and I continue with my colleague Mr.\nâWith that said, I saw traces of blood around the woods that I went about an hour from here two weeks ago. Traces like they were dragged by the woods.â
âOh, you had a little report. Thereâs been a lot of patrols lately, but if you see anything again, just let me know.â
âOkay. Well, say hello to Marius, too.â
After all, the guards in this city are much more diligent than I think. Is it good treatment?
Weâll have a meeting with our colleague and weâll go into the city. Even today the boulevard is full of people pulling carriages and luggage, vibrant. Thereâs a Camilo store a little off that boulevard, so if we turn that way, the crowd will be extremely reduced. Iâm not saying itâs dark or extremely narrow, Iâm not just saying it doesnât feel like people who donât need it get too urry. Weâll go ahead and pull the baggage truck. It didnât take long, so I went to Camiloâs.
I turn the luggage car around by the warehouse, and from there I call the store people, and when they open the warehouse door, I stick every luggage inside, and while they call Camilo, I go into the upstairs business room (and thatâs what Iâm just calling it, so I donât know what the Camilos actually call it) and wait for Camilo. Camilo and Mr. Keeper â and the person Iâm calling inside â arrived in no time. Go in the room and open it. Camilo says best.
âIs the product as usual?
âOh. I have a knife and both long and short swords in the warehouse, not enough for two weeks, but a little more for a week. If you get any extra, leave me alone.â
âNo, in two weeks, all your guys will sell. Iâll take the one I brought.â
\nâIâve heard of a guard whoâs been in the capital for a while and hasnât come back. Even if a guard guarding the city is the capital, itâs not the only way to go to another city, and even if thatâs a comeback, it wonât be that long, right? He buys my knife and everything, so Iâm a little worried.â
Damn it. Camilo thinks into my words. Wherever I am at the point Iâm thinking about it, I confessed to knowing something, but heâs a merchant, and I guess he knows how to do it around there.
Slightly heavy silence fills the room. Eventually, Camilo told me just a little bit.
âRight now, the capital is going to stink. Youâre another senior nobleman down there, rather than what the King says, it feels like somethingâs going to happen around there. Maybe the guard has something to do with the areaâŠ. I canât even say this for you anymoreâ
âRight. Sorry, thanks.â
âNever mind. You shouldnât stick your neck in anything unnecessary.â
âI get it. Better than that, because you havenât been told, the information fee is for free, right?
âOh, donât be a merchant when you say that!
Thatâs how Camilo and I laugh at each other. Pray so that we donât let each other get caught up in the Gotthagota of that capital.
