Arafoo Otoko no Isekai Tsuuhan Seikatsu

--Wake up in the morning.

Next door, Primura is sleeping with a lovely breath, but when she gets up first and sits on the edge of the bed, she takes a breath.

"I wonder why such an osan is so good....."

When I was preparing the table from the item BOX, Primura woke up and decided to have breakfast.

Because she says granola is good - milk for her, I'll just have coffee.

"What about that black drink?

"This is a coffee drink."

Primura-san wants to drink it, so I'll give you a sip.

Well, it's a so-called indirect kiss, but there's no way that a good year-old otsan will fap like that.

She doesn't seem to care either.

"... you know, it's bitter."

"Haha, when you get used to it, this flavor becomes a habit."

I talked about item BOX while eating.

Marlow seemed to have noticed the size of my item BOX. Did they find out that they had the same item BOX?

Actually, Marlow's item BOX has a lot of capacity. But when they found out, many of them approached with bad manners, so they kept it hidden for a long time.

So it seems that even though I'm hiding the capacity, you somehow have a hunch and keep quiet.

I'm glad our business partner, Marlow, is a good person. I just happen to be really lucky.

After dinner, I sent Primura to the river and returned home.

She says that she will be away from the Mallow Mansion for about a month because she is going on a shopping trip.

She seems to be traveling with her, and even if it turns out to be a big shop, it's Marlowe's way of shopping for herself.

"Well, I guess I'll see you in the field...."

But when I look at the fields, all the tomato seedlings that have begun to bear fruit have collapsed beautifully. That would be brilliant.

"What the hell! Could it be a root cut?

Root-cutting is a pest in which moths and beetle larvae enter the stems of crops and fall from the roots.

It really falls beautifully. It's not leaves but stems, so if it falls, it will die. It's as easy as laughing anymore.

Even in the former home vegetable garden of the world, one side was destroyed and lost.

"Seriously! There's a root cut in the other world... didn't Marigold work?

Searching for Shangri-La while weak - I'm sure they sell pesticides for root cutting, but I'd better buy another insect repellent stone from the toolman's grandfather.

Magic stones are expensive, but better than pesticides. Speaking of slow life, I have the impression that it is pesticide-free.

But I used pesticides normally in former home gardens around the world. Because if you don't use your medicine, you're going to die.

You should use something useful if you don't use it too much. However, there is a useful item called Magic Stone here, so I use this one.

It's getting pretty boring, but I can't just leave it like this.

Clean up the broken plants and take them to the compost dump where they hang the tiller in the field.

The crop mill was stored in the item BOX, and a voice was unexpectedly heard from behind as he was making acorns with wax.

"If"

"What about it?"

He looked familiar - a knight who often came to my shop.

But, unlike usual, he wears a fine plate armor. He's fully equipped.

"You... said there was a suspicious man living in the woods, so I came to check it out."

"This is the knight. I didn't expect to see you here."

"Was it you who lived in the woods?"

"Yeah... well... But there's no rule against living in the woods, so why don't we sit down?

"That's right... you've often built houses like this."

He looks at the house I built, but it also seems a bit stunned.

Thank you very much for your hard work.

I laughed bitterly, but the Knight noticed the solar panels lined up outside.

"What is that?

"Um... it's about magic, so I'm sorry, but I can't talk about it."

Oh no! I knew it would stand out. But for a comfortable life, we really need electricity.

Access to the city can be cumbersome in isolated places where people are absent...

"Magic? What kind of weird thing is that? Is he a wizard?

"Yes, well... I'm sorry, but please keep this a secret..."

I took the gold out of the item BOX and tried to hand it over to him.

"Yes - it would be awkward to know that you are a magician with powerful magic."

"So I lived here avoiding a glance....."

Of course, it's a big lie. It is true that we were avoiding people.

"I'm a nobleman's friend, too, but I do know what the nobleman's tyranny is and how he feels about hiding his identity."

A knight like him is a generation of nobles and cannot be succeeded by a child. There is no position, no territory to rule, of course.

"Well then....."

"Well, if it comes true, I want you to listen to one wish."

"What is it? What if I could?"

He took out the dagger hanging on his hips.

It was a remodeled sword I sold at the stall, and unlike the original, it was fitted with a large tsuba and improved for combat.

"I bought this dagger from your father, it's very good. Hopefully, I want a big sword with the same thing."

"Hmm, I don't deal with the good stuff at my place..."

I don't sell swords at Shangri-La because of the bayonet method.

I'll try searching again, but I don't sell anything like that. I can't even give you an Excalibur imitation knife for cosplay.

But I was searching for a knife and I found something good.

"Well, here's what we'll do. I am not dealing with the Great Sword, but I am holding the steel. I will give the steel to the Knight, so how about a sword from the blacksmith you are welcoming?

I see. I see. I see.

I got the knife steel from Shangri-La.

The sword I sold him was steel called blue paper, but I didn't sell it, so I took A○ S-34.

This is a tough, rust-free, medium good item, and I also had some knives made of this steel.

The price is 70,000 yen for a 5mm x 200mm x 600mm item. With four of these, you can make anything with a great sword.

I'll just give him one for now.

This is it.

The knight glared at the steel.

"This is amazing! It's as if you cut it out with a blade."

Oh, I'm impressed by the precise squareness, not the steel.

"I'll give you about 4 of these. Then we can build any great sword."

"Uhm... alright! I'm on that story."

"Thank you very much. Yeah, just one thing to watch out for - don't mix that steel with anything else. Because the performance will drop."

Got it.

Donate 3 remaining Steel Sheets. It's pretty heavy, but is it okay? The price of steel is rarely 280,000 yen... it's a painful expense, but it can't be stopped.

I bought a drawstring bag about 40 cm of hemp from Shangri-La and gave it to him - 1,300 yen.

"Put this in and take it with you."

"This is unbeatable."

"Sir Knight, the origin of this steel will be kept secret."

Got it.

I took the table and chair out of the item BOX and invited him.

"If you're not in a hurry, you can have a little talk and a drink."

"Well, well, well, well."

Now, what did you give me....

"No way, I can't let the knight have milk - it's before noon, but can I have a drink?"

I got lost, but I chose Gu Nfidik's 12-year 350ml - 2,000 yen from the single malt whisky. The green bottle is beautiful.

I almost pressed the [Purchase] button immediately, but it was awkward (first) such as a helix cap or label.

Once in the house, I bought a cork stopper from Shangri-La and instead of a lid, the label was also sprayed with alcohol and peeled off in a hurry.

On a wooden basin, cups of pottery, water, and wine bottles were lined up and served to the knight.

"Because it is a strong alcohol, please dilute it with water and drink it. The water will be purified."

"Oh, this is a beautiful bottle."

The knight sitting in the chair looks into the green bottle. I may be looking at my face in the bottle.

"I'll take a seat with an exotic drink."

When he poured the amber liquor, he took a bite without breaking it with water.

"Ha! Sure, he's strong! But it's delicious! I've never had such a delicious liquor."

"That's good. If you don't mind, please take this with you."

"Are you sure?

"Of course I'm here."

It would be cheap if I could keep my mouth shut for 2,000 yen. If you drop a man, you have a price for gold, alcohol, and a woman.

It's great to have a woman here, but she's not here.

"You can't get this much delicious liquor for free. If there's anything you want to hear, I'll answer."

He poured a refill of wine into the glass.

"Ha, have you been seated in the outlook - so what is the state of the country's external relations?

"When you become a merchant, do you care about other countries?

I don't know anything about the surrounding countries. I don't know anything about that in the city.

There is no information that is important to merchants, and they will not tell us without consideration. I can only hear rumors for free.

After all, accurate information won't come in unless you have some standing.

"Of course, I'll sit down. If the battle gets closer, we'll know what we can sell and what we can't sell."

"Yes - skirmishes with the Empire continue along the border, but they won't be a problem for a while until the civil conflict in the Empire is resolved."

"Would you like to sit down in the Empire in a ruckus?

His eyes shine as he puts his mouth on the glass.

"Oh, the Emperor and the Empress are in the midst of a power struggle."

"The Emperor and the Empress are the real parents and children, right?

"Exactly. Authentic, mother and daughter. But the Emperor wants the second princess to succeed him. Attempts to assassinate the Empress failed. Then it became definitive."

Wow, you're killing each other with your real mother and daughter. It's a drag. Even so, this is the story of Masamu Date.

"So the question is, is it going to be prolonged?

"No, not really. The Empress has acquired a powerful magician with her own (unique) magic. The power is about to reverse."

Proprietary (unique) magic is something completely different from magic that uses ordinary magic, and it seems that it can be used indefinitely more than ordinary magic without consideration.

So the Shangri-La I'm using is my own magic? I don't feel like I'm using magic myself.

"There is also information that the Duke of Einstürzendenoibauten, a great aristocracy in a regional commercial city, has joined the Empress."

Ain...? Excuse me?

"What is that unique magic?

"Somehow, they make a lot of yellow stuff and fill up the area."

"Yellow stuff? What is it?

"What did I say - Mayo... Mayo"

"Maybe mayonnaise?

"Yes, that's it!

What the hell!? The ability to make mayonnaise? Is that what this is?

"And then there's the ability to produce a lot of oil. There is also the anecdote that we sank a herd of monsters into a sea of oil and burned them to death."

"That's horrible."

"Absolutely. If the magician enters the war against Japan, it is imperative that he be awkward (first). Anyway, he's talking about defeating the dragon."

He drank the glass of wine.

"Dragon?!

I thought mayonnaise was some kind of joke, but when you can make a lot of it, you can use it as a weapon.

But there's no doubt - he's the transferee. But I want you to give up the fight. I can only hope it doesn't happen...

Then it is said that the Empire prohibits the business of magicians. It seems to be a reason to disadvantage merchants.

Looks like the magicians aren't banned from doing business in this country.

"Um... Empire, what is the official name of the Empire?

"Hmm?

"I was in a remote countryside....."

"D'Reich Formatechen."

According to the story of the Knight - when the Empress takes office, it seems that there is a habit of ruling the country in the form of a girl using artifacts.

So, the Girl Empire. What kind of sick country is this?

The knight, who had drunk about two whiskeys, went home in a good mood.

It seems that the reason why they came here was because they thought it was bandits who lived in the woods (first of all), so they just came to check.

Then you should let him know - I knew him in the woods and he was a weirdo.

Probably okay.

------◇◇◇------

--A month later.

It's time for the Mallow Chamber of Commerce caravan to return.

Looks like there's a bandit, so it's a caravan with a fully armed escort.

If he's coming back, he'll have to show his face. If there are any unusual products, I will take a look.

I go to the city before noon, as usual - but it's strange. It looks like people are scrambling.

Talking to the passers-by on the street, it appears that a caravan belonging to the Mallow Chamber of Commerce was attacked by a bandit.

"What?!

Oh, no, no, no! Marlowe is in the Adventurers Guild now.

Thank goodness, Marlow is safe...

I hurried to the Adventurers Guild on the Boulevard.

"My daughter! Help my daughter! Anyone! I'll give you money!

An old man screaming desperately in front of the Adventurers Guild. The grass clothes are worn out and dirty.

It's Mr. Mallow.

"Mr. Mallow! How are you?

"Whoa, Mr. Kenichi! I'm fine, but my daughter! My daughter!

What?!

According to him, the caravan of the Mallow Chamber of Commerce was ambushed by bandits and scattered.

Protected by an escort, Marlowe and Primura escaped, but she was late to escape.

Still, he was dragged by the escort and managed to escape and reached this Daria.

Only Mr. Mallow and two of his guards survived.

He was attacked by a bandit named Shaga. Amana said she had a bad bandit one day. There they are.

It seems that Mr. Mallow has asked the Adventurer Guild to crush him...

"Help my daughter! I'll give you as much money as I want!

The reaction of the people in the street to his voice shouting with his own strength was weak. People are coming out of the Adventurer Alliance, but the reaction is bad.

They say there are bandits in the woods about 30 leagues (50km) away. It seems that not one or two villages have been looted by them.

If they're that bad, shouldn't there be a mob in the country?

But thinking about Primura, who was caught by a bandit, I grabbed Marlow's shoulder and shouted face-to-face.

"Mr. Mallow! I'll take care of it!

That's what I was screaming when I noticed. Could be reckless - no, reckless.

Of course I'm a free amateur, Cracker. But I have Shangri-La.

I've never fought before, but I might be able to do something with what's in Shangri-La.

I entrusted my hopes to the ability of Shangri-La, who doesn't know who gave it to me or why.
