âWhoa, thatâs a ton of stuff today. Boyâs a good hunter.â\n
âNoâŚâŚâ
See 14 pieces of meat I put on my desk.
It is massive indeed.
But this is all Cielâs business.
Um, Cielâs been working hard since the day we hunted for a long time.
Every time you set a trap, Ciel messes with wild rabbits and wild rats with intimidation.
Once I asked him to stop, the next day he usually brought his hunted prey.
Apparently, theyâve decided to offer me prey no matter what.
From Cielâs point of view, does that mean I canât hunt?
⌠I was planning on working hard, too.
âHmm? Whatâs up?
âNo. Iâve been buying it out for you that whole day, are you okay?
âHahaha, never mind. Apparently, rumors of this store are spreading among junior adventurers.â
âRumors?â
âOh, when you come to my shop, you can buy a lot of dried meat.â
âOh, I heard that rumor in the square.â
âWhoa! I knew it was a rumor?
âYes, I heard about this store, so I always wondered what it was, so Iâm pretty sure.â
The rumor I heard was, âIâm pretty sure you can buy a lot of dried meat at the boulevard store.â
The junior adventurers need to prepare for a variety of things before caging in.
Tools to hunt demons in caves, tents to use in caves, and food.
Dried meat is the main necessity in food.
But every butcher in this town has thin dried meat.
For this reason, it is necessary to search around the store in order to count.
Thatâs a lot of work.
However, if you come to this store in the past few days, you wonât have to go around the store because you can buy a lot.
Thatâs whatâs spreading in the square as rumors.
I was surprised when I first heard it.
The reason for that information is because itâs the meat I sell.
âWell, thanks to that rumor, my shop is a popular one. So, I still want the meatâ
If that rumor does spread, youâll need meat.
âHey, kid.â
âYes.â\n
âCan we just increase the amount a little bit?
âWhat!â
For 14 today.
When I get more of this, I get about 20.
Or 15 yesterday.
Before that, for sure, 18.
Does that mean itâs not enough?
âAhhh, Iâm not saying I canât. Itâs a little oversold.â
The shopkeeperâs gaze turns to the shelves selling dried meat.
When I look at the shelves with that too, there are about six large bags of dried meat on that shelf.
Iâm sure there were about 25 of them yesterday.
âIâve got guys buying five in the morning. Thatâs all we have.â
Five!
The big bag in this store is about five days worth of food for one person.
There should have been a group of three or four adventurers going into the cave.
⌠I do feel like Iâm buying a little too much, but that would mean caging in a cave.
But itâs oversold.
If it sells in that condition, itâs not enough at all.
âIâll do my bestâ
âSorry.â
Iâm Ciel, even if I say Iâll do my best.
No, I want to be able to hunt somehow, too.
Ciel normally has me hunting, and I set a trap, too.
I wonder if I can do my best with this.
âCopper plate as usual, okay?
âYes.â
Receive the copper plate and leave the store.
Eight days from the day Count Faltria was captured.
The whole town finally returned to its original state.
He seemed to be really popular with the people in town and the atmosphere across town seemed dark and depressing for a couple of days.
That calmed down a little bit, and people started laughing on the boulevard.
Mr. Seiselk and the others seem relieved.
Mr. Low Creek and Mr. Sifal went back home from the square two days ago.
Mr. Nouga also said he would roll into a house he knew, and heâs not here since today. \nIt will be time for Mr Borolda and the others to get back to their original jobs.
Then youâre done with my diner.
⌠Itâs over, isnât it?
Youâre a little nervous.
Well, Iâm not particularly concerned because Iâm happy they need me.
Returning to the square, there is the figure of Mr. Ratlua.
Still, I have a few hours for dinner.
Is something wrong?
âMr. Ratlua, youâre early todayâ
âGood luckâ
âGood luckâ
A little tired look but its atmosphere is soft.
Apparently, something good happened.
âI have a message from Gilmouth and the captain.â
Mr. Gilmouth and the captain?
âWhat is it?
Iâm not involved with the organization anymore.
So I donât think thereâs anything about this.
I havenât even caused any problems⌠I bet.
ââI want to talk to you slowly, so why donât you join me for dinner?â Cause.â
â⌠ah! Uh.â
Doesnât seem to mean I was having problems before I knew it, good.
And itâs dinner.
⌠Are you coming to eat?
âAre you coming here to eat?
âWhat? Oh, no, no. He said heâd buy us dinner.â
âLuxury⌠is that okay?
âItâs okay. Weâre going to have to take care of it.â
Is Mr. Ratlua and the others with you?
I hope so.
âYes. Pleasure!
âOkay! What do you want?
âThereâs no particular hope, though.â
\nâAh, Seiselk will explain later,â
âYes?â
âCount Faltria has pleaded guilty.â
âReally?â
âOh, the evidence we gathered was enough. Evidence coming out of his lair seems to be decisive.â
A safe house.
Thatâs what I felt like being aristocratic.
Still, did you finally admit it?
I was worried because even when I poked at the evidence, I heard that it was a conspiracy and that I would not plead guilty to it.
You must have been a good guy, but you feel like you got your nature at the end of the day.
Thatâs scary.
âThatâs it, finally.â
We are.
What about us?
Thatâs kind of an inclusive way of saying it.
âDid you blow it off or did you throw yourself away? He talks, he talks. This is the worst part about nobility.â
â⌠what do you call itâ
âBecause of that, it looks like weâre in a pretty rush in Wang Du. I hear he talked about the backpack that was in trouble in Wangdu. They say the Knights are investigating now.â
In every town, is there an organization behind it?
Thinking about it, we need to continue our journey more carefully.
I guess I really need to think about solo travel.
âThank you and stupidity were both received from Gilmouth, the kingâs capital.â
âGratitude and stupidity?
âYes. A thank you that finally seems to have a purpose about the organization Iâve been chasing. Youâre so stupid that you canât afford information all of a sudden.â
â⌠itâs similar to hereâ
âHmm? Really, the state here a while back? Thatâs tough, the place is the kingâs capital. Poor thing.â
I hope you make a little look of pity.
Otherwise, youâll look like a belly-black person.
âMr. Ratlua, thatâs just what they say with such a smileâŚâ
âOh, no. Nature.â
I try to hide my face with my hands, but it looks like a lot of fun.
