Chapter 98 Soy Sauce and Unjust Crimes
What I felt at the same time as biting the fruit, which is a local specialty, was not as sweet or sour as I imagined.
Too much.
There are laughing stories like drinking soy sauce by mistake with Coke, but it is close to that.
I mean, soy sauce.
"Pu, kukukuku"
The fruit salesman laughed at me.
"I thought you might do it, but it's the reaction I imagined! Everyone who comes here for the first time does the same thing. Don't eat like that, it's..."
"... squeeze it into condiments?
I threw Seoul into the item box, drank some water, and then I snapped.
"Oops, don't go in there with one shot. I see."
Soy sauce.
I thought it might be if I looked for it, but I didn't expect it to come out as fruit.
I get close to the fruit salesman silently, with a subtle expression on my face.
"Oops. No claims, no returns, please?
"... there seem to be two types of Seoul, but for what reason?
If you look closely at the shelves where the products are placed, there is a slightly white seoul and a reddish seoul.
I bought the red one, but the white one has about a fifth of the price.
"Oh, that's right. It's a different region."
"Region?"
"Seoul is supposed to be a Dilmia specialty, but Dilmia is bad quality."
What is that? Is it a bad product even though it is a specialty product?
So, maybe.
"Imported goods?
"That's what it is. The Seoul region can be seen in one shot in terms of colour. The red one is Soyel, and the white one is Dilmia, and the fucking one is Dilmia."
"You're such a loser...."
Don't you like the white fruit?
When it comes to sales talks to sell the taller ones, it feels too hot to say anything.
How dare you say that even though it is sold by yourself.
"Since the lord changed. The yield will increase, so they made all the Seoul of Dilmia look like this. On top of that, you're raising taxes, that fucking territory... Whoa. Nothing, huh? Anyway, if you want to buy Seoul, you should make it red."
... Apparently, Dilmia's stuff used to be red.
A lord who deliberately annoys soy sauce. Yeah, I don't feel like getting along.
Well, it's best not to get involved, and probably not to get involved in the first place.
If that's the case, I'll give you ten extra red ones.
"Oh, my gosh. I'll give you one of Dilmia's, so you can experience how bad it is.... you have an item box! It makes sense to eat something unnaturally!
When I was told that, I became a little worried.
I decided to take the right place and try it in my room.
Boat killers are used in experiments. A fish with the appearance of a tuna picked from a photolen. I made sashimi before, but the soy sauce disappeared and I was not satisfied with it, but it is still left.
Use a magic sword disinfected with flame magic and water magic and slice thinly.
Then squeeze the seoul slightly onto the appropriate plate and try it on with the sashimi.
"This is it!
This is a tuna sashimi.
The quality of soy sauce is not bad. I haven't eaten it in a long time and there may be aspects that require correction, but it is definitely tastier than cheaper products in Japan.
I had to protect Soyelle and buy a lot of Seoul and go home.
"Well...."
This is followed by Seoul from Dilmia, which has been torn down a lot.
I thought you wouldn't get along with the lord just now, but you certainly can't hate it without eating it.
If this tastes good, you'll have to apologize to the lord.
I'll squeeze the scary seoul and try some sashimi on it.
"... hmm?
A hint of soy sauce flavor that can be found in the mouth at the same time.
And the overwhelming saltiness and gummies that wipe it out with all your might.
I don't feel any good at all. It is just contained in the mouth, and it is severe enough to make me sick.
I was lucky that the first Seoul I bought was from Soyelle.
If I bite this, I must have passed out.
Drink water in a hurry and rejuvenate with a sashimi with a decent soy sauce.
It is now confirmed. I don't apologize to the lord, and I have no reason.
So the lord apologizes. Apologize for the soy sauce.
I even felt so angry with the severity, but thanks to my tone of mouth, I was able to quickly regain my calm.
Along with that, I noticed something noisy around here.
The noise is not so much outside the window, but near the ground floor of the inn.
The air in this town is slightly dry. If there's a fire, it's important.
I paused the taste for a while and decided to go see what was going on down there.
"Even if you say so, we can't give you information."
"But I can't go home like this because the criminals have entered this inn...."
The reason for the disturbance was apparently the arrival of the guards.
Five guards, or knights, are fully equipped to talk to the owner of the inn.
Apparently, a criminal came in while I was tasting soy sauce.
I don't really want to be involved, so what if I change the inn?
I don't want to be involved.
"Is it true that a criminal is involved?
"Yes, you can help me if you can. According to the lord, the criminal is a young man with black hair and black eyes, characterized by a lack of luggage."
"Luggage?
Would it be a characteristic just because I don't have the luggage?
"I thought I had an item box for everything, so I used it to steal money from the Lords Hall....."
A young man with black hair, black eyes and an item box...
I think I have a very good idea why.
Probably someone else with a similar appearance, but I can't wait to be suspicious.
In the meantime, just make sure the name is different.
That's all you need to prove someone else with an Alliance Card.
"This guy, he's not called Kaede, is he?
I remove my Alliance Card from the Item Box and ask while appealing that I am a frog.
"That's right. An adventurer from Baysis, named Kaede... eh"
Eh?
Apparently, there is a Kaede who came from Baysis with a similar name and appearance, with an item box, at the exact same time.
What a coincidence.
Well, here's what I'll do.
I try to leave the inn dressed as subtle. [M]
"Wait a minute."
And it can be stopped as it should be.
What is it?
"Would you please come with me to the jail?
Almost simultaneously with that word, two of the guards circle behind me.
It's an unjust crime.
But there is no way to prove it.
Baysis' guild cards have not penetrated this country, and there is no way to prove the contents of the item box.
Suppose they told me that they had hidden the stolen goods somewhere.
Is it so inconvenient that you don't have an Alliance Card?
"What if I refuse?
"I will be forced to accompany you. My lord, this is a personal order."
While talking to the guards, I felt unnatural about the guards' handling.
Too polite in dealing with criminals. They shouldn't be thinking about the possibility of a grievance, otherwise they shouldn't ask for discretionary accompaniment, and they should seize it quickly. Banditry can lead to summary executions at worst.
Even so, the guards have little atmosphere to do such a move.
The tone of voice is clearly different from the anger of criminals. It's not vigilant either.
I feel sorry for you.
It is also unnatural for a lord to give direct orders.
Regardless of the trial, it should be the role of the guards and the Knights to catch the bandits.
I don't know if it was in this kingdom without the king, but at least it should have been in Baysis.
It's a pretty suspicious crime in a town that's barely here.
"Okay. Please accompany me as you please."
If this grievance was committed, it would mean that the perpetrator was a lord or a person in the vicinity.
Otherwise, there would be ordinary means of clearing the grievance.
Either way, forcibly breaking through this scene is not a good idea. It's like saying it's not a grievance.
Forced breakthroughs are always possible.
First of all, let's grab hold of it and think about how to deal with it.
"Thank you for your cooperation. Now if you'll excuse me....."
That said, the guards handcuffed me.
Appraisal shows that it is a substitute for lowering magic activity. I wonder if it's for wizards.
When I tried using magic armor, I did feel that the magic output was dropping slightly.
Specifically, about 0.5 to 1%.
I mean, it's an error.
The next time I tried a little harder to check the physical strength, I heard an unpleasant sound of pissing, and I panicked to relax my arm.
Watch out, watch out. I almost broke my cuffs.
Unaware of that, the guards surround me and start leading me somewhere.
Well, what the hell is going on here?
