Cheat Majutsu de Unmei wo Nejifuseru

Episode IV: Negotiations

"Say no! You know we're Rank 2!

A man with an untrained body in his early thirties stands up.

Rank can be seen by using measuring magic.

The battle between Explorers reveals the difference in their power. All four hungry Explorers have Rank 2, plus extensive experience in action. Even subtracting that the other person is weak. We can't beat each other. ”Unless I use a trump card".

"Yeah, you can't just give them food."

Still say no. Honestly, I have about 150 kg of demon meat, and I can make as much water as I want. The nostalgia doesn't hurt when I give it to you, but here, there are a bunch of camping explorers with eyes around them.

If you look at the weakness, in an instant, the people around you will turn into hyenas and take everything from us.

"Well, they want to die. We're starving. I'm getting this smell. Don't expect reason. If you want to eat meat, I'll kill you."

Stick a sword to my neck. A muscle of blood flows, and at the same time the protection is activated and treated.

Seeing how it goes, the killing intent and magic swell from Kuna and Anne.

"Freeze! Both of us."

I drink both of them and make a move.

"But, Sauji."

I hear Kuna's crying voice, and I'm willing to kill the man in front of me who made her speak like that. But desperately suppress it. You have to be patient. If successfully used, this situation leads to profit.

"Kuna, that's okay. I'll be fine."

I smile gently. At times like this, it's best to show some room. Kuna and Anne stare hard at the man. The two beautiful girls stare at the man.

"Well, calm down. I just said I wouldn't give it to you."

"What?"

"In the form of food, water and purchases, we would be happy to offer them."

Yes, a formal deal won't show weakness. On the contrary, depending on what you do, it can be used to promote business after this.

"Are you in a position to negotiate?"

"I'm in a position to negotiate. I am."

Look back at the staring veteran seeker. There was a little bit of reason in the other person's eyes. At least he seems to listen to me.

"You're going to take that away, but in the first place, you guys can't normally eat where you took our food....... Kuna. Bring me the meat next to the tent as you see fit."

"Yes, immediately"

The eyes of the veteran seekers are closely watching the movement of Kuna. Like I said, if you make weird moves, I'll kill you anytime.

"Shall we cook now?"

What Kuna brought was a chunk of loin meat. Slice it thin and sprinkle quickly with salt. [Purify] one of the two pieces, leaving the other intact.

"Coona, bake me"

"Yes, Sauji."

Coona's magic, heated from the inside, and in an instant the slice turns into steak.

The smell of meat spreads around, and the searchers in front of them sip their sawdust.

"The first is the meat I bewitched. This is a tasting. Eat whatever you want."

Pass to the Veteran Explorer along with the glass that Anne glanced at and made him pour water.

The man hit a thin steak when he sipped his sauce.

"Yum, yum"

Tears, chews and swallows meat, pours water in. I am completely de-alerted about how hungry I was, and I have a rugged face.

Now there are gaps everywhere, but there are four opponents. It would be a bad idea to strike by accident.

The Explorer, who is quickly finished eating, turns to us again.

"This isn't enough at all. Once you know what it tastes like, you have to get everything."

Completely become the eyes of the beast. Then I'll wake you up a little.

"I baked another piece of meat, but I wouldn't recommend eating this. I'm not doing any sorcery here. It's just demonic meat. As you know, it's not something I ate because I was distracted. I cut it from the same chunk of meat, but it's as if it's different in nature. Unless I bewitch, this meat is poison. There's no point in taking it away from me. If you don't believe me, you can try it."

The veteran searcher is too frivolous for my words.

But where I took it, it doesn't make sense. I guess you wanted to be sure of that word.

"Hey, you. Eat."

"No, is that okay!?

I made the choice of summoning a luggage man to eat steak. Then the cold decision not to lose the main member, even if it was poison.

Fearing that it might be poison, the fact that a veteran seeker could have eaten and the smell of violent meat makes a man with luggage peel the meat. The other party members of the veteran explorer looked at it with envy.

The moment he puts the meat in his mouth, the man with the luggage has a face that seems sincerely good.

"This guy's a dick."

"Hey, you're still lying!

"No, I'll find out soon enough"

"Heh, uh, this, uh, heh, yeah, yeah. No, it hurts, it hurts, it's my stomach."

At the next moment, however, the meat spits out and spits through the pain.

This is what happens if you eat meat that has not been [purified], unless it is also rank 3.

"Look, you're right, aren't you?

"I see. Is this what happens when you don't put your hands on it?"

"That's right. So it's just useless to take it away. Do the right thing if you can buy it."

"I can threaten you."

"I'll do everything I can to resist. Anyway, if you're going to kill me, can you afford to be powerless?

These people would kill me before breakfast, but it's tough to be powerless.

For a moment, my gaze turned to Kuna and Anne.

I know what you're thinking. Use the two of you to make me listen.

I hit a veteran seeker with a serious intent to kill. If that's what you're gonna do, use the trump card, but I don't mind if you kill me.

The veteran seeker feels something from me, hands up, surrenders and crushes.

Normally, you don't have to be afraid of me. Still, my instincts can feel the crisis, so I guess this guy survived.

"Ugh, okay. Lost. Let me buy it. How much?"

"A meal for everyone at your party and two days of dried meat. Plus a lot of water. Two hundred thousand bales. How about that?

"It's been a long time."

"I think the price of conscience would be on the fourth basement floor. Whatever the food is, I'll put it on even the most precious water in the underground labyrinth."

In fact, some of the haughty ones do business in underground labyrinths for searchers, but the price is roughly five times higher than the market. Risk of opening a store while being attacked by demons. Given the cost of transportation, there is no choice.

"Indeed. All right, let's buy it. There are only 100,000 bales to carry together. How about this guy with the missing 100,000 bales?"

Veteran Explorer throws the Great Fist Demon Stone.

The top Demon Stone in Rank 1 as far as Demon Stone is concerned. A cash changer would cost 200,000 bars. I have no complaints about this.

"Accepted. Now, I'm going to prepare a meal so you can sit down there. And this."

I throw a water bottle. I just added the water I just got so I have about 2 liters in it.

"First moisten your throat with it. Then if you have an empty container, I'll put some water in it, so leave it all out."

"Helpful. How much water can only three of you carry?"

"That's a trade secret"

I put my finger on my mouth and said so.

Whatever the meat is, because if you say you're making water out of demonic blood, you're going to look disgusted.

Take the bloody steak to the Veteran Explorers and lay it on a platter.

They stir up meat with tremendous momentum, like wild dogs swarming with bait.

Come on, I've sprinkled enough bait.

Did it take prey? I look around.

Once again, the searchers, caught by the smell of meat and separated by the moment they found out it was demonic meat, gathered around us.

The gaze gathers to the meat-eating Seekers.

I was going to sell the demon meat. Anyway, the only meat of the giant boar monster is the edible area, which leaves nearly 150 kg. Impossible to carry. And throwing it away is a waste.

But even if I wanted to sell it, I wouldn't normally buy demon meat, and they would refuse even a free tasting. Even if I or Kuna ate it in front of me, they suspect it's our physique.

So I came up with using the veteran seekers.

Feeding a party other than ours makes me think that we're not special and that the meat itself is ready for special cooking and eating.

All right! It took.

"Hey, brother. Would you sell us that meat, too?

The Seeker who set up the camp called out to me.

"Of course, I'd love to. But it's expensive."

"I don't mind. I'd pay as much for soft, watery meat in a place like this"

I laugh inside out. Come on, we're gonna be busy.
