When I was reborn and became a serious trader, I secretly gave back to the people who had misled the change before.

It's a higher payment, including an apology.

Ah, Joyle-san, I'll make it cheaper.

"Huh? No, no, that's not good, Quid."

"Ahahah, don't be shy."

I won't let you take it!

While keeping a desperate expression so that it doesn't seem strange, the inner mind makes up an excuse to think in a desperate shape.

"Actually, I might have made a mistake the other day with the change I gave back to Joyle-san." When I went back to the city and recalculated, the money didn't fit, and I probably didn't know how to shop with Mr. Joyce. So, really, don't be shy, go ahead. "

I pressed the salt into the hands of the rustic villagers. Alright, now we're done for!

"Really? Seriously, you..."

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I'm afraid that he's just as bad as he was when he was reborn and finally became a human being!

I saw Mr. Joyle off and took a breath of relief. And in this village, if you give back to the van, you won't have any evil debt.

It hurts a lot, but it's a necessary expense to be able to resist somehow when Ash-kun makes a mess of things.

I deserve it, and I can't help it. I put up with salt soup for a while.

Even so, Ash-kun's debt is not going to go away for the rest of his life!

She's got a good reputation in the village, so it's easy to lose if she's hostile. If you ask the great people in the village, such as Guru Folke, Lord Klein, or Lord Yuika, they will all praise Ash-kun.

Well, Bishop Folke was a bit of a cynic, but it was amazing to just ask him for his character reviews and get a reply. Someone who doesn't even remember my name.

You don't have to think about who remembers a name, who doesn't remember a name, or which word to believe when something happens.

True, trust and trust are as important as gold. It's similar to real money where the value drops with the gold, or where it gets hurt quickly and the value shrinks.

Until the other villagers arrived, I thought vaguely that there was no gold falling somewhere, and I saw something red in my eyes.

“I'd like to talk to you about something, can you tell me a story?”

My chest felt refreshed. I think this is exactly what it feels like to have frozen blood.

Since you misled Mr. David's change, Ash-kun, who didn't come so loudly as to bow his head to the distance, finally made contact.

"Oh, oh, Ash-kun." What the hell is that? "

No matter how seriously I jump now, I won't be able to scrape the gold!

When I was scared, Ash-kun was... some kind of weird part of the grass? Part of a tree? No, I took out a green object that I didn't know was real.

"Actually, I found a plant like this." Is Quid familiar with this? ”

"I don't know," I shook my head.

When I tried to close my face, it drooped from a place like a cutout. Wow, Ash-kun, this isn't evil.

"What is this?" It's a little disgusting when you're drooping... "

It's a plant leaf.

"Leaves? This? Not stems, but leaves?"

Are the leaves even thinner and thinner?

What Ash-kun has is more of a grip than a pinch.

"Actually, according to what I've looked up in the book, this plant is supposed to be a medicine."

Heh, my voice leaks out.

Ash-kun isn't really a demon, so if it isn't the plants that attack the people in the story, then something as unusual as medicine is persuasive.

Well, if it's this unusual, I don't think it's going to work.

But I don't know how to use this.

I wonder if I'm going to drink something sticky and watery... Ash-kun looked unhappy as he looked at the disgust.

She had a fine face, but I wonder if she still feels sick.

No, Ash, you're looking at me. Yeah, if I could just stare at you like that... my heart would burst out of my throat? Will you stop?

“So, I'm going to use this to make medicine, but we need to experiment to see if it works and if there's a problem.”

I've got something hard to say, kid.

"Why is that? If it's in the book, isn't that all right?"

“It does say, but if you use it too much, it may cause problems, and depending on how you use it, it may not work. Experimentation is absolutely necessary.”

It's kind of troublesome, isn't it?

“Doesn't Quid often observe and gather information about people he's dealing with for the first time?”

I see. When I said that... I was very careful in the first place!

I had no idea who I was connected to, so I was trying to be polite to everyone anyway...

Not now... no! No, no, it's still okay, I'm reborn, I can still make it!

"Yeah, it's important. It's important."

"Thank you for understanding." Now, I'd like to get a pen and paper to experiment with the medicine. ”

Pequin, the red head that bows politely.

Ah, that's what you're here for. Her breath blew out, and her smile disappeared at the same time. I think it was pulled out.

I mean, I mean, you're scared!

Someone who was holding his own secret and hadn't spoken to me all of a sudden had something strange in his hand. I thought I was going to eat that weird grass!

But paper and pens.

If you say you need these two, you need ink, too. If you put this into a set, it will be quite expensive.

I'm troubled by the stones.

Recently, I have been returning the money I cheated everywhere called the service, so it is very difficult.

No, of course, I don't have the option to say no... but it's the backhand, or the trump card, or the end of the game.

That's why you're bothered. "... how much will it cost..."

When I glanced at Ash-kun, he also twisted his neck.

"For the time being, just a little bit is fine, so won't it be convenient?" I wish I could pay you properly, but I don't have the money to be free. ”

I would be surprised if a child as small as you could free up money. [M]

Even adults don't have that kind of money because they don't have much cash in the countryside.

Some men buy liquor for about the amount of money. Most of the time, it looks like he's been scolded later, so I don't think it's free money.

No, but Ash, I think you do! When I said that, I was given a vague smile.

You do have one, don't you? I wonder if there's anyone threatened like me. I'm afraid.

Ash said something strange about me shaking pathetically like I was thrown out on a winter's night.

"If the development of the medicine works well, we will be flexible with Quid." Maybe we can sell it in the city. ”

Yeah? Did you say drug development?

I heard a while ago that strange leaves become medicine, but are you willing to sell them, you?

I thought it was about chewing and sticking to the wound, but can it be powder or ointment?

No? That's weird.

That's what a professional pharmacist does, but you're a farm boy, aren't you?

The medicine I bring to this village is made by a smart pharmacist who also serves as a shrine official in another village.

When Ash-kun roared without really understanding what he had said, Ash-kun also roared with a difficult face.

I'm bothered by you, but what are you bothered by? Oh, my troubles are growing.

A hunter, Mr. Van, came in as the two of them roared.

"Oh, hello, Mr. Van."

Ash-kun says hello. [M]

Looking at this kind of thing, I am convinced by the idea of someone who appreciates Ash-kun. After all, the person who greets me properly has a good impression.

I'm a little scared because I'm still nodding without saying anything about a van. I'll make sure to say hello.

Receive meat and fur from the van and sort out your usual groceries.

I'm used to it because I usually buy things without having to talk. At the same time, I'd like to do the service that I fooled you with before, but it's a bit difficult to do because of Ash-kun.

“Is there anything else you need?”

After checking with the van after a long day of shopping, he looks at Ash-kun and tilts his neck.

What's the matter?

………………

Oh, is that a hollow ear? I think I heard you and someone else but me. In such brightness, hahaha, hahaha!

“Yeah, I just wanted a little paper and a pen, so I was checking on how much.”

When Ash-kun speaks to Mr. Van, he nods.

Yeah, yeah, there's no way the van will speak up after all. You must be tired because you haven't had enough rice lately.

How much is it?

………………

Perhaps it's not just empty ears, is it?

Ugh, this is the first time I've heard a van! This is the voice!?

"Well, after all, how much is it?"

Even though people are so surprised, Ash-kun has a very normal conversation.

Why do you think every time you find out about this girl, you lose track of her? I have no idea.

Ah, it's when you're dizzy, isn't it? Stop thinking about unnecessary things and turn your head to the question.

"That's right. Ash-kun's favor, a set of a little damaged paper, if that's all right..."

Hmm, I don't know how much I can give you.

The quill pen and paper were old, so it's okay to provide them cheaply. "It's sad, but it's a defective inventory..."

On the contrary, because the ink is too old and hardened, there is no such inventory and there is no cheap product.

If you make it too cheap, you'll have to drain the rice for about two days a day, so... how far can you compromise?

While listening to Ash-kun's complexion, I adjusted the price.

"Iron goods fifteen..."

Ah, this doesn't look good at all. Ash-kun looked sad.

"No, thirteen..."

... this is no good either!

"Zhu, with twelve sheets, somehow..."

I don't think this is going to work! "There's a bit more rice than this...!"

Are you ready for this or have you missed your first meal in a long time?!

A cry of salvation was heard as he was unprepared.

"I'll pay you."

It's Mr. Van.

It's very handsome of you to give me kindness (although you don't know Mr. Van) that you tricked me before.

"What? Mr. Van, I'm sorry for such a cheap thing." I'm the one who saved your life in the meantime.

It seems that Ash-kun, who is a lava rock, will refrain from dealing with such a good man. I have no choice but to refrain. It reminds me of the maidservants I talked about in the government hall of the Imperial Capital when I was a guard.

Mr. Van nods to me as he silently shakes his head at Ash-kun. So you're paying for it exactly as you say it.

But it's not cheap, is it?

"Are you sure, Mr. Van?" If you like, I don't mind..... "

I was worried and checked, but Mr. Van just shut up and nodded again and walked away as if he didn't have anything to buy.

What, that guy?

"This is so cool..."

Ash-kun's murmur was perfectly in line with my thoughts.

"Ahh, that's so cool..."

With both of you, I'll see off your handsome backs.

If you hadn't looked back to the end, or if Mr. Van was in the capital, there might have been more men to look after.

"Well, then... Ash-kun, this..."

Pay attention and prepare Ash-kun's order, paper, pen and ink writing instruments set with the payment of Mr. Van.

"Huh?? Even if Ash-kun and Van-san do their shopping together, they'll get change."

It turns out that Mr. Van gets too much money.

The new peddler decided to do a checking calculation, even for a single white purchase.

I have to give this change to Mr. Van.

But I don't know how to finish off that cool posterity.

"Ash, don't you think it's a little awkward to go and give this to Mr. Van?"

“Yeah, I know it's a little tricky to give you.”

Ash-kun looked very serious and agreed with me.

"That's right... Can Ash-kun give it to me while I'm at it?"

"No, I'm a little nervous about depositing other people's money..."

I think it would be amazing to know that at your age. [M]

After exhaling some disgusting sighs, Ash-kun took the money.

"Quid got a discount, and I owe a lot to the van." I'll take care of it for sure. ”

“It would be great if you could do that, thank you.”

By the way, I've already given you the extra amount I took from the van before, so it'll be settled in my own mind!

Let's reflect on the fact that the salt soup life is going to be a punishment for a while.

When I first became a pedestrian, it was salt soup...
