This is the only place where the grassland people perform trades with the agriculture people.
The grassland are where I live is in contact with 3 other regions.
Mountains Grass Plain | Sacred Mountains
âââââ
Mountain Range â First | Second | Third (TN: The author is trying to sketch out a map with words)
Using words instead of drawings, Verley is the Second area
In this Second Area the daughters of the Three Great Forces of the Grassland, Au tribe/Agu tribe/Shiu tribe, were married to them in order to maintain a pledge of alliance.
The First and Third areas broke the alliance with the Grassland, skirmishes continued to happen.
Sometimes us Grassland people come to the First and Third area to plunder, these areas came back at us with a large-scale subjugation.
When the agriculture people came at us with large scale subjugations, us grassland people joined hands and fought them.
A large scale subjugation has not happened for 30 years it seems.
Well it wonât happen. Probably
I arrived at the entrance of Verley and entered the vicinity then walked to the Exchange House.
I was led into this area by father before.
The entrance is close the vicinity of the grassland thatâs why a lot of people do business here.
Grassland people donât have a lot of money.
Thatâs why they mainly do bartering.
Upon entering the area thereâs a tax.
Thereâs not only grassland people here. A lot of dealers stood waiting at the outside of the entrance.
I looked for the dealers that are currently not having a customer.
A grassland person stepped aside as if already done with their trade.
I talked to that merchant.
ăDo you understand my languageïŒă
ăEhăthe dealer stores here only talk in your language you knowă
ăThen do you buy these three wolf peltsïŒă
ăLet me seeă ă
The merchant took a look to ascertain the damage and tan on the pelt.
ăRightăthe handling charge is 2 blue copper coinăthen Iâll buy the wolf pelt with 11 silver and 4 blue copper coinsă ă
ăThat soăsorry but Iâll go ask some other peopleă Is that alrightïŒă
ăHouăyouâre a clever young oneă Itâs fineă
I asked several other merchants.
Thereâs a person who bought one wolf pelt for 1 gold and 2 silver coins.
By the way
1 gold coin = 12 silver coins (TN: Oh god, I can see the math comingâŠI thought I escaped after high school?)
1 silver coin = 12 blue copper coins. (TN: Why the hell blue?)
I decided to sell the pelts to this person.
ăThe handling fee for one wolf pelt will be 5 blue copper coinsă Is that alrightïŒă
ăYeahăitâs fineă
The merchant took out the money from his cashbox, and stuffed it into a pouch.
Three pouches of Gold, Silver, and Blue copper were put on the desk.
In the pouch of gold there are 3 gold coins inside, 3 silver coins in the pouch of silver, 10 blue copper coins in the pouch of blue copper.
ăHereăyour moneyă
The merchant handed the pouches over.
ăOKăI gotta see the next customer nowă ă
As I stepped aside hearing those words the merchant pushed my back.
I turned back and hit that merchantâs right side of his face.
The merchant was blown away
ăWhăWhat are you doingă
ăHaaïŒThatâs right back at yaïŒ You wanna be killedïŒă (TN: Daaamn Jumuka is boss as hell lmao)
As I took my sword out the merchant broadly grinned
ăGuardsăcome here GuardsïŒă
As the merchants gathered, a few security men with armor on also gathered.
ăWhatâs going onïŒă
ăThat man hit and threatened meă
As the man said so the guards set up their spears.
ăYou grassland barbarianăis that trueïŒă
The man that seemed to be the leader talked to me.
ăNopeăthis guy tried to steal my money so I hit himă
ăWhaïŒă
The merchant looked at me with a surprised face.
The spears turned towards the merchantâs head.
ăWhat is the meaning of thisïŒă
ăThat guy is talking bullshită
The merchant pointed at me and shouted in a loud voice.
I threw three pouches at the guards.
Then he spoke to a guy standing behind me who saw the situation.
ăOiăI didnât take anything rightïŒă
The guy behind me nodded vigorously.
The merchant next to him in the vicinity spoke up.
ăThis manăhe said one wolf pelt for 1 gold and 2 silverăwith the handling fee of 5 blue copper coins rightïŒă
ăYeahăI remember him buying stuff for an awfully high price compared to his neighborsă
ăWarrior-san please double checkăitâs only 3 gold coinsă3 silver coinsăand 10 blue copper coins insideă
The man opened the pouches to check inside, he confirmed the number.
ăItâs indeed like thată
ăIt shouldâve been 3 gold coinsă4 silver coinsăand 9 blue copper coinsă
I said that to the soldier and he drooped his mouth starting to count on his fingers. (TN: OMG lmao I laughed too much at this)
The surrounding soldiers gathered and taught him that I was right.
The spears around me were lifted, they glared at the merchant.
ăWhat is the meaning of thisïŒă
ăAnoă sonoăettoăitâs a misunderstanding hahahaăI miscalculated a bităiyaaăletâs see taking out one blue copperăput in one silver coinăthis should be fine rightăhahahaăit canât be helped that I got hităiyaa sorryă ă
The merchant laughed while putting the coins into the pouches then grabbed his cashbox and tried to run.
Everyone dropped their jaws at that sight.
ăOkayă please leaveă Itâs settled so please leaveă Then you barbarianăthis time itâs your righteousnessăbut donât make it too noisyă
Saying so the guards left.
I asked various merchants and sold the wool to the person that paid the highest price of 3 gold and 4 silver.
I paid the tax and entered the town. (TN: Heâs been out at the gate up until now)
Entering the town, I exchanged words with a few shops to find a shop with the signboard of a horse.
I asked for the location of ornament merchants.
Confirming the sign of a horse I entered the shop.
There was an old man inside the neatly-looking shop.
ăââŻïŒŸă
ăâŠă
ăYouâre from the grasslandăexcuse meă What are you looking forïŒă
ăIâm getting marriedăso Iâm looking for a gemstone necklace of 6 gold coină ă
When I thought about it I donât know Lucciâs finger size
ăCongratulationsă Right so this necklace over here is 5 gold coinsă
A beautiful necklace with an emerald gem attached on it was being displayed.
ăOoïŒThatâs ităthatâs goodă ă
I purchased that necklace at the first time seeing it.
ăThenădo you have anything good for 1 gold coinïŒă
ăHow about thisïŒă
The old man brought out 2 hair ornaments, 3 bracelets, and 5 combs.
ăThese hair ornaments are 6 silver eachăbracelets are 5 silver eachăcombs are 2 silver and 4 blue copper eachă ă
I fixedly stared at the items.
ăAlrightăthen Iâll take this hair ornamentăthat and that and this combă ă
I brought out 1 gold coin and 1 silver coin.
The old man was surprised as he took the money.
I used 2 silver coins for gift wrapping.
I bought food and consumables for my return trip, the remaining amount of money was used on metal scraps.
Iâll have Uruji make arrowheads from this.
I packed my stuff and left Verley.
I rode the horse to go home.
The other two horses donât have luggage this time so theyâre nimble.
Since I changed horse on the way back Iâm going to arrive sooner. I pity my pet dog a little butâŠ
As I was traveling a flock of horses appeared before me.
One boy was frantically controlling them.
There wasnât a dog with him.
I understood as I looked to the further end of that line of horses.
The dog and the wolves were fighting.
One single dog was frantically fighting 6 wolves.
I signaled my pet dog and stopped my horse.
The wolves bit the dog to death.
As the dog fell victim the wolves switched target to the horses.
I took out my arrows.
I feel the grassland wind.
I drew my bow. And aimed at the wolf.
The arrow pierced into the forehead of the vanguard wolf.
The wolf twitched and crumbled down.
As the pack of wolves became disordered their forehead were pierced by an arrow one by one.
As the arrow pierced the last forehead I relaxed my focus.
I went to where the wolves are, took the arrows and got rid of the blood.
As I was doing so the boy who got chased by the wolves approached.
ăThăThank you very muchă ă
ăDonât mind itămore than that, itâs pitiful for the dogă
As he heard that, the boy had a dejected face.
ăYesăbutăhe died a glorious battleă I am proud of himă ă
ăI seeăthen can I take these wolvesâ peltsïŒă
ăYesăof courseă EttoăOnii-sanïŒ succeeded in the Wolf Hunt right?ă
ăAhïŒă
I completely forgot.
I think there was a senpai Moderate Warrior thatâs waiting for me to congratulate him for rising up to Great Warrior butâŠalright, itâs fine to expose
ăCan I hear onii-sanâs nameïŒă
The boy asked with glittering eyes.
ăYeahăMy nameâs Jumukaă
ăEhïŒ Could it be Jumuka from them Ronga tribeă
The boyâs eyes glittered even more.
ăYeahăthatâs rightă
I was taken aback a little while answering.
ăAhă itâs a bad day but somehow itâs a good dayăI met that Twin Arrows Jumukaă (TN: Original text is Two Arrow, but it sounds shit, so Iâm going with the flashy one)
Twin Arrows Jumuka, itâs my nickname that reverberated the grassland after that battle.
The nickname was based on how I decided the battle with just 2 arrows, honestly itâs embarrassing.
ăWhaăWhatâs your nameïŒă
I changed the subject.
ăYăYesăIâm Mukaiă ă (TN: Maokai?)
ăI seeătry your best to become a good warriorăthatâs rightăif you train during the time the girls draw water youâll become a strong warrioră (TN: OMFG you fucker Jumuka hahaha youâre just peeping at their ass)
ăYesïŒ Iâll do thată ă (TN: And kids, thatâs how father Jumuka ruined a youthâŠthe end.)
The boy answered cheerfully with sparkling eyes.
I signaled my dog and horse then packed the wolf pelts on, I began to run to escape that situation.
After a few days Ronga tribe came into view.
Ah, Iâm finally home. Iâm gonna embrace Yesu with all my might today. (TN: YUUSSS)
