Episode Two: Alsam's Bow
- A week later.
Merchant's escort.
Departure itself is not an immediate departure, even if it is decided.
"Nice to meet you this time."
A young man responding with a smiling smile.
"Long time no see"
It was William who greeted me.
I met him to the point of counting, but I treat him with a smile because of his cousin.
"And it's going to be a bigger trip than I expected."
"Really?
William's journey will be by carriage.
The carriage he's going to use is a sturdy Chamber of Commerce specialty carriage that can be lifted if there's a bandit raid while the goods are being transported, about the first blow.
That's how an escort trumps a bandit while he's abrasive.
Four carriages accompany William's carriage on this trip.
The biggest aim is to take William to another country to study, but he's going to make a solid profit in the meantime.
In other words, carry the goods and travel while selling them in villages and cities along the way.
"I don't mind accompanying you, but I'll make travel a priority. I'm not complaining about doing business where I stopped for lodging or breaks, so you're free to do business."
"Thanks"
Travel in a total of five vehicles.
That's going to make it harder for me to escort you, but it doesn't look like we were the only ones escorting you.
In a remote location there are five adventurers, Freddie, employed by the Alcaine Chamber of Commerce.
There are a few other soldiers I personally employ.
If there were twelve of us in the escort, most of the problems would be cut through.
"With all this, you'll be fine."
"... what?
A small whining voice was heard for being at close range.
"Actually, as a merchant, I'm embarrassed to say that I've never been far from Alistair and I'm a little nervous."
Previously, William was just helping with HQ commerce at the base.
Speaking of which, even on my previous family vacation, I couldn't even Ferres, a hot spring town, because I stayed at the Chamber of Commerce and worked.
"That's why I'm asking you."
- Gatagotto.
I can hear the carriage running even if it's inside.
William's carriage running through the center of the merchant corps. Four carriages were running back and forth, left and right, trying to surround the carriage further. Just in case William gets away with it first.
William is in the center carriage.
William's escort, we're in the carriage, too, but Ira's on guard running outside the carriage for exercise. Likewise, Noel is running outside, but the reason is that, unlike Isla, I felt bad while I was in the carriage. He was Noel, who had endured harsh training as a 'witch', but was also hit by a wagon shake because there was nothing like going away.
As a result, only me and Melissa and Iris were left behind.
"I'm free..."
William shrugged.
William, who has traveled as far away as the nearby village just because he has never been far from Alistair, has nothing to do with hurting his body or getting drunk about moving the carriage.
Then I get bored with sparing time.
"Hmm..."
Sitting next to Melissa, who was wary of the rear when she stood up to the boredom.
Then he began to talk with pleasure.
"Ha..."
Melissa sighs unnoticed.
I am sincere about my job, and I have a high liking from women because of their aesthetic shape. That's why I had my hands on many women. Besides, even if you say you're going to get your hands on it, it's not going to cross the line to the extent that you enjoy the conversation.
"I have decided to become the next chairman. I think we should refrain from reckless behavior."
The child has also been born a boy, and he has essentially decided to become the next chairman.
However, as a person, he wants to have fun with women in the sense of clearing up his daily business depression.
I can turn my gaze from Melissa.
I get up because they seem to be asking for help.
"Mr. William."
"What?
"Our relationship with you is certainly not wrong with the adventurer and client who took on the request. If you're free, you can stay with the conversation, but please refrain from imitating our party members."
"This is as good as it sounds."
I mean to embarrass you, but I can't see you reflecting.
There's no point in saying any more.
'Will you hang out with me for a second?
"Yes, give me the toolbox."
I apologize to Melissa, but I shall only respond a little to his demands.
William's request not to be heard is communicated in a recital.
Make the toolbox appear as they say.
After hearing about doing business in the village or city I just stopped by, I saw that Illis was sorting something out in the carriage.
I guess Melissa's errands are in order because it stays that way.
Fishing with Gossogoso took out one bow.
"Do you see this?
Show William the bow you took out.
"Is this - is it Alsam's bow?
Alsam, the hunting god.
It is said that the arrow unleashed by Altham, a famous god in the hunt, is an arrow that chases and shoots through the target everywhere.
A God that many of those who hunt in the woods believe in, bows and arrows are often made that imitate his divine heritage. Moreover, it is only imitating the inheritance and is granted a magical effect.
One of the most famous is Melissa's "Altham's Bow". Although there is a limit on the number of times, the unleashed arrows can be bent.
"You can sell it in a village on the way."
"Right. I really need to stop by the village to stay. I heard that hunting is flourishing in the village I plan to stop by tomorrow. If you deal with these people, you'll sell them."
Plus, I can sell for a lot of money.
The number of times it can be bent makes the sale a small amount, but this' Altham's Bow 'can definitely sell it for a lot of money.
"I'm not familiar with magical effects because I'm a merchant and not an appraiser or a wizard. So I don't know how much power you have, but how many times can you bend it?
"Infinite."
"Infinite?"
correctly as long as the magic power of the user is present.
It connects a special path between the unleashed arrow and the user and allows them to fly freely as long as they can keep the magic flowing.
Then it may not be a bow and arrow, but it doesn't change releasing an arrow from the bow.
A bow and arrow with great performance, but drains a lot of magic for a single use.
When I say a body-building hunter, the limit will come in a couple of uses.
"I don't want that much strength. A normal hunter would be enough to bend it a couple of times."
"It's okay. We have it for you too."
Melissa gave me Altham's Bow, which weakened the effect from a treasure chest (treasure box) to a toolbox (item box) because I received another request from Melissa.
This can also be used by ordinary people.
William is surprised in front of the ten bows that suddenly came out.
"How many of them are there?
"... ten, right?"
I could give as much as I wanted if I wanted to, but I thought about the burden and left it at ten.
"What the hell are you doing with all this' Altham's Bow '?
"We dive into the labyrinth as adventurers. Few adventurers can get to the lower levels, so I found them while exploring the 40th and 50th floors."
'Altham's Bow' with a degree of bending effect once can be created by an alchemist with good arms.
But we have to wait for things that have become more effective to be unearthed from places like the labyrinth.
Fortunately, William believed me in the story of coming out of the labyrinth.
"If you don't mind, can you tell me how to sell it?
"Fine."
William was relied upon to be in a good mood.
It is also incited without realizing that that is Melissa's ploy.
As an adventurer, he spoke with his body that he was relying on because he could not bore his client.
