I Shall Survive Using Potions!

292 Aristocratic Contact 1

I have changed my eyesight.

And yet, why is it a donkey pull?

"Ugh, shut up! Shut up and walk!!"

…………

Even though people were trying to behave amicably...

I'm so annoyed, I don't want to wear a cat anymore!

...... anyway, this time, it's a puzzle (...).

I'm asking which minion is it, Gora!

"I'm sorry about the gala!" After all, the place is the lower one..... "

"Shut up! When I met your employer, I was going to cooperate, but the soldiers treated me disrespectfully, so I'll tell them that the goddess is angry too!"

"" "" Ehhhhh!!! ""

No, what, are you surprised? It's only natural that someone else should get angry and break the deal or stop the deal. What the hell did you think we were doing here? Bearing the name of the organization you belong to, you're a negotiator with the other party?

"Wait, wait! If we do that, our position will be..."

"I don't know! You must have been rude to me for knowing that!"

You didn't make a fool of yourself by not knowing who you were picking up and how much influence and influence that person had on your employer, did you? ”

…………

Well, if their employers were willing to treat me politely as a guest, if they didn't say I was equal, I thought they could talk to me. I don't want to be surrounded, but I don't want to trouble you with friendly leaders.

... because Edith exists to create that [friendly powerhouse]...

But the way you instructed these people who sent you to bring me here, to treat me like this... yeah, I guess that's it.

That's why this time, it's a puzzle (...).

Well, goodbye!

…………

And I'll leave them and go to the next village... "

"... wait! Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!"

I couldn't let you go.

"If we don't bring you back, we'll be in trouble!"

That's right.

"However, even if I take you with me, I will not explain it to my employer and listen to the kidnapper. If I tell him that I have been kidnapped, I will report it to the proper authority in the capital..."

"" "" Stop it! Ohhh!! "" "

"Well, I don't know..."

"What am I supposed to do...?"

”If you let me leave like this, and we couldn't even find it...”

That's it!!

Two of the other three agreed to the idea of one of the men, but the one who remained...

“That way, do you know what happens if another team finds out and comes into contact with you or is surrounded by other aristocratic houses?”

…………

Well, it's a false report and a betrayal.

It's not strange that you should turn upside down and have a fight over the size of the thing that was supposed to be yours.

"... then perhaps it would be better if there were no longer any possibility of that happening?" For example, this girl died somehow..... "

I see!!

"I see!"

"If you think about what you're going to say..."

Alright, let's crush those eyes for my own safety.

In the front, we are moving in the opposite direction... that is, three merchant wagons approaching.

Foot guards are hardening the front and rear of the wagon.

Behind us, there are five people walking in the same direction as us, like a hunter party. He's about 30 years old, and he's like a solid mid-level hunter. My legs are slow, so I've been a little far away, but I'm getting close.

The others who are traveling along the streets are not covered because they are quite far away.

Okay, enough for the audience.

Inhale and shout from the bottom of your stomach...

"Huh! You're going to kill me, the one my employer ordered me to pick me up, to hide our mistakes!" Do you think the priestess, the shrine maiden, will kill me and make a false report convenient to my employer? "

Hunters and gentlemen with grim faces stared at us.

... and the impatient soldiers.

"... now, if anything happens to me, if my employer investigates a little bit, I'll find out the truth right away."

"" "" Ghost!!! ""

No, which one!

"I don't want to be told by those who are consulting me to kill me!!"

Yes, the forward merchant corps stopped, and the hunters in the rear rushed over, so the way of speaking returned to normal.

And the hunters who came to us called out.

"Wait a minute!... lass, are you the [Wild Witch, Saintess Edith]?"

Oh, we're getting a lot of names!

"...... I've never claimed to be a saint, but I'm Edith, the wild witch..."

Yes, if you call yourself a "Saintess," you might be able to make a claim from the temple.

It's not self-proclaimed, it's just a title that people call themselves.

What are you going to do with the Holy Maiden!

Now I yell at the soldiers, Hunter.

"The Holy Maiden has helped our younger brother at the party." If you seem to be planning an unexpected sight, don't just put it down! "

That's right!

Well, here come the guards of the Merchant Corps.

"When it comes to wild witches, they cook and donate ingredients to orphanages everywhere." You can't miss us out of the orphanage! "

Ahh, sure enough, Hunter will be among the top three places to work for those leaving the orphanage and those rising from the streets...

Saintess, what's the situation?

Hmm, well, let's be honest...

"When they were cooking up in the orphanage up ahead, these people came and took them without telling whether they were there or not.

Whose instructions are kept completely silent. And now, when my employer talks about how I was treated so badly and angry, I'm talking about killing me and making it a "no-go". "

"" "" "" "" "" "" ""

Ah, the faces of the hunters have changed.

Well, there was a bit of a play going on with my loud voice earlier, and I didn't think there would really be anyone to consult about the murder plan in the world. I guess I thought it was a struggle, but it wasn't so urgent.

However, if those who do not reveal their affiliation abduct the girl and are planning to kill her in order to fool their own wrongdoing, then it is no joke.

In the first place, at the time of the abduction of the girl, it was already out.

Moreover, when it comes to the "Saintess", which has become famous recently, if it is intended to be a tool for taking in and popularizing, it is still badly treated as a toy or tool, or as a personal healing personnel in a claustrophobic environment, or as a slave...

Well, some of the hunters have their hands on the sword's handle.

The spearman takes off the cover of the tip, the archer holds the bow, and pulls out an arrow from the arrowhead...

"... wait! Wait, wait, wait, wait!"

Hurry, soldiers.

Five hunters and six merchant guard from behind us, for a total of eleven, three times the number of four soldiers.

Hunters, unlike well-trained soldiers, fight every day. It was a monster or a bandit.

Besides, the Hunter side had twice as many swordsmen as four swordsmen, and some spearmen and some archers.

Overwhelming headcount difference.

And a single class versus a confederation of armies.

... there's no way we can win.

There, a group of five hunters called out to me.

"Holy Maiden, why don't you hire us as escorts?" You lose to a silver coin for the cost of escort to the city.

If you sign up here now and report back to the guild branch, you will be charged a fee, but if anything happens, the guild will be able to hold your ass for you.

...... even if you're dealing with some dicky junior aristocrat or some idiot son of a big shop...... "

"Eh......"

"Mister, lend me the paper and writing tools for the contract." I'll pay for the paper later. "

A group of five hunters told the ruler that.

Apparently, the merchant of the employer is doing the ruler. "To save expenses..."

But the fact that the five hunters knew about it, not the guards, meant that they knew each other.

Well, if you live in the same city, wouldn't it be strange if hunters and merchants knew each other from the sale of previous guards and materials?

"Of course, I will be happy to provide it, but I don't need to pay for it. Does anyone take money to help you do the right thing? If you do that, you will be ashamed of our Chamber of Commerce!"

... apparently, my decision to hire an escort...
