In a Different World with a Smartphone
# 297 Dark Market, and "Etoile".
"Black Market"?
What's that overly disturbing word? I can imagine what it's more or less like, but is it okay to go to that place?
"It's not just Golem, it's a sanctuary for back-trade, with translations from all kinds of stolen goods and banned goods lined up. That's where you get most of your stuff."
"A dangerous place is something involving a shitty organization... or something?
"Exactly." Black Butterfly Papillon "is a criminal organization that runs the black market. Unlike us, they said they'd do anything to make money. I'm going to crush him one day... well, if we have winter nights, we can crush him."
Nia starts crushing things all the time.
"Wait, wait, that's a little crazy. Don't involve a good citizen."
"A good citizen jumps in and out while a woman is dressed?
Ugh. That doesn't matter......
"Ma, leave that. If you want to get the golem for the ancient airframe Legacy, the black market is quick. I don't know if I'll ever find you exploring the ruins."
If you have time, exploring the ruins is also ant...... Do I have to give up this time?
Besides, it's like the black market. You may get something unusual.
"Normally there's no danger in buying it." I don't pry into the origins. "Just protect me and I'll be fine."
Yuri explains it additionally. That's some stolen goods or something, and if you put in an exploration or something, you'll be suspicious. Worst case scenario, I might be able to see if it's that "black butterfly Papillon".
"Okay. Show me where it is. I'm telling you, you're not gonna crush that organization, are you?
"Huh. Well, no. I wanted to do a little hostile inspection. When Rouge gets back... you're back."
Nia turns her gaze towards the fort. I saw a small fuselage walking this way from the other side.
Crimson body on a burning flame-like shape. He also looks like a knight wearing full body armor, but his size is only about the back length of a child. Yet the thing on its shoulder was a big pig about an automobile.
Unlike what it looks like, I guess it has a lot of power. The little golem lowered the big pig to the ground with a dsuch.
"Welcome home. How far have you been, you?
"North side, behind the woods. Hassle Ta '
"You talk..."
It looked like mechanical audio, but now this red golem did talk. That wolf-shaped golem I met before...... did I say Fenrill? Although it wasn't as fluent as that or our Babylon Sisters.
"Rouge, this guy is winter night. The one who gave me what I needed to fix you. So, winter night. This is my partner Rouge. Right, it's called" Blood Rouge, "but I'm calling it Rouge because it's a long time."
"Listen, Ta. Grateful Le '
"Oh, no... you're welcome..."
A red golem that lowers its head gently. Don't go crazy. Strangely, it's a human stinking golem. Mr. Golem, Deputy Chief Est... Did you say akagane or something? It felt more like a "robot".
Are you sure this guy is a golem called the Crown Series, the "Crown"?
Legacy, an ancient fuselage with special abilities that have fallen out of Zuba, is the highest golem in this world... it doesn't look that way.
"Rouge, we're going to the" Black Market ". Follow me."
Copy that, Master.
Rouge nods small at Nia's words. It also looks like my sister is giving orders to my brother somehow. My brother would be much older, actually. [M]
"So, where is it?
Projects a world map of this side in the air while manipulating the smartphone.
"This is the fort of the current location. The black market" Black Market "takes place from here in the capital of Goldos to the south. Goldos is known as Casino City..."
"Wait a minute. Is that the capital that shines on Gingilagine?
"You know what?
That's the capital. I used to stop by before I broke up with the Nears and went back to the original world, the casino capital. Do you mean Goldos?
I lost so much over there that I became a suckarakan......
"Is it the Black Butterfly Papillon that rules that capital?
"No, the black market Black Market changes places month after month. This time it's not just about Goldos, it's not about Black Butterfly Papillon partitioning Goldos. There will be most collaborators."
Is it to deceive the country's eyes to change the venue from month to month? But you know that a lot.
"The snake path there is a snake. There are routes where you can buy that kind of information."
Yuri puts her index finger on her mouth as she says so. "Red Cat" is also a prostitute, but it must be backing up. Such information can be a powerful weapon above all else.
That's why you're trying to tell outsiders like me not to leak it. [M] From what I've heard, I can't help it.
"Well, I've been to that capital, so I can go right away... are you sure it's okay for the Nears to come too?
Even if the leader of the bandits is on tour to see if it's okay, Nia waves with a laugh.
"There's not so many guys who know I'm the" Red Cat "leader. And with Rouge, you can protect me from most of the danger."
"Red Cat" is famous, but you mean a limited number of people even know who its leader is? Well, I was going to camouflage in "Mirage" when I had to, but you don't seem to have to worry.
Still, for once, tell the members of the fort where to go, and deposit the rats summoned by summoning magic for contact in times of need.
If there's anything you'd like to hear from the fort, you'll pass it on to me through this rat.
Seeing the subpoena magic, Nia pressed me to teach that magic too, but when I found out I couldn't remember it without dark attributes, I was disappointed to drop my shoulder.
The outer periphery of the casino in the capital of Goldos. Brilliantly, there are dark areas in this capital as well. It's what they call a slum town. The end station where the losers live, where the dream-breaker arrives.
We opened a "gate" in the back alley there and moved to Goldos. Exit immediately onto the main street and after a short walk onto the street towards the Central District.
It's daytime so Neon isn't shining, but it's still a flashy city in the sun.
Climb the hill to the Central District and pay the toll to the gatekeeper in front of the glowing gate on Kinkirakin.
I also thought when I came here before, but don't feel like this is paying for admission before you go into the amusement park.
"Hmm, where am I supposed to go in the Central District?
They say there are several casino domes in the Central District, each with a different owner. The golden deceased in the middle of the night, they must be scraping.
The building, which has as much as a little athletic ground, looks ragged there. We haven't opened the casino in the daytime yet, but where will we open the black market or something?
"The place is the casino" Goldman ". It's exactly where the casino was."
"Was?
"A few months ago, the owners were picked up for illegal gambling and everything else. He said he was letting slaves and Golems fight and kill each other. I was hoping we could feed you Tianjin, but you got me ahead of you."
Nia turns that way with a muffled face. Wondering about that attitude, Yuri, who was next door, pinched his mouth.
"It was the same man with the black" crown "that drove its owner to ruin. He's stubborn when his rivals steal his prey."
"Don't say anything extra"
Bishi! and Nia decopins Yuri's forehead. It hurts, Yuri held her forehead and squatted "Uzuma". That sounded pretty good.
A red crown and a black crown. Is the Crown Series named after a color?
"Anyway, the new owner who bought up the casino dome is the collaborator of the Black Butterfly Papillon."
I see. Open a map and see a map of this city. I thought it would be troublesome if the name of the casino had already been changed, but it still existed under the name "Goldman".
Walking up to the front of that casino dome, two steel golems, about three meters long, stood up like gatekeepers. That's big. Not as good as frame gear though. Golem that feels like a Zungri and retro, but looks pretty strong.
In front of it stands a few men who feel like galloping bad adventurers.
"Guest."
Look at us. A man with a particularly evil face stares at us. Impossible attitude if this is a top-notch casino.
"If you're here to buy it, it's a piece of gold per person. If you're here to sell, show me your boobs."
"... I came to buy it. Three gold coins, huh?
When I ask, the man snorts silently. If you want in, pay for it, I guess that means.
Admission fee of about 100,000 yen per person? Golem doesn't seem to count though. When I entered the Central District, they even took Rouge's share.
Hand the three gold coins out to the man. Upon receiving it, the man prompted us to go with his jaw.
Knock through the big door and through the killing hall. It looks like all the ornaments and stuff in this casino dome have been removed. I'm not here. I've been in a casino before, but it's brilliant.
But there was no such thing as a roulette, a table playing poker, a bar counter, a large chandelier, and there were just a lot of cluttered stores lined up in the wide dome.
Small tent disputed stores seem like free markets, but too suspicious shopkeepers and too suspicious customers. A kind of chaotic world was spreading there.
"It feels like a flea market or an antique market..."
Some parts, gemstones, pots that seem expensive, animals you've never seen, and so on that are sold. It's funny just to watch, it makes me unintentionally kick ass.
Whoa, don't forget your purpose.
But looking around, I don't see anything like Golem. What's this all about?
"In these dark markets, golems and expensive items are somewhere else. Yuri's listening right now, so wait."
After a while, Yuri came back here. Apparently, high value goods such as golem are traded underground.
In front of the heavy black leather doors, once again, there was a badly glazed caution stick waiting. And they charge me money again. Hey......
No matter how frustrated I am, I can't help but defy you. I paid for three people as they told me, and stepped into a slope headed underground.
Down the loose curve, there was a rinse-bottle-shaped venue ahead, where various golems were arranged. It is large to small, from human to animal, even shaped like you don't know if it is golem.
It's spectacular when you line up so far. It's like some kind of exhibition.
"Let's go."
"Oh, oh."
Nias prompted me to go down to the soaking venue. Sewing and walking in line with the various golems and guests, they check each and every object on their eyes.
"I have no idea which is the ancient fuselage Legacy and which is made of the factory Factory..."
"When I get used to it, I can tell by the design and other parts that are used. In the meantime, you just have to see the price. It's more or less an ancient airframe, Legacy, if it's much higher than the rest. Sometimes" bespoke "is a super fancy modern product."
The ancient fuselage excavated from the ruins is "Legacy".
The mass-produced fuselage made in the factory Factory is "readymade".
"Bespoke" handmade one-offs by Golem technicians.
I guess Rouge here is "Legacy" and the canibus that was at Mr. Sancho's is "Readymade".
If you do look at the price, there are a few different digits than the others. However, most under the price were written as "incapacitated".
After all, a capable aircraft called "Golem Skills" isn't that easy.
"Oh."
One of them had no "incapacitated" description.
It is a deep green golem about two metres in size with big, long arms and shaped like a gorilla. He carries something like a tank on his back.
"Excuse me. Is this airframe Golem capable?
"I don't know. Within a limited range, we can deform the terrain"
Yeah. Sounds like it could help with the civil work. It's an incredible price of 500 million. Aren't you supposed to put it here and be stolen? No, it may be something I've originally stolen more than it is on the black market.
I think "Black Butterfly" Papillon "is doing a good job of safety management there, but I wonder.
If I tell you what, I can steal everything I have here. I won't steal it, though.
"Hey, winter night. How about this one over here?
"Hmm? Which one?
What Nia pointed out was a machine that felt more like a power suit than a golem. It is formed of feet and arms and parts that attach to the back. Will this also be classified as Golem?
"This guy says he's equipped. I'm still willing to do this. It helps the contractor, Master, by moving exactly as he thinks."
Sure sounds interesting, but what I'm looking for is an autonomous type.
"Mr. Winter Night, how about this?
In front of the store where Yuri took me, a number of cases appeared to be sturdy. And there's a little golem on display in it.
Smaller size. It's about the same size as Rouge and it's the size of a child. It's a white based fuselage with a girl's form anyway. In all, there are three bodies, each with fluorescent red, blue, and green parts incorporated everywhere in the body. Fluorescent parts on the head also look like hair. Fine art.
"Anthropomorphic? That's unusual."
Nia crushes as she compares the three ancient fuselages Legacy. Compared to Rouge, which does look like he's wearing armor, or the gorilla-shaped exoskeleton Golem just now, it also looks like he's made to mimic humans.
However, I wasn't so surprised because we have robotics that are almost the same as humans. It still feels like a "doll".
"Is this guy" capable "too?
"Be capable, I assure you. But you don't know what you're capable of. You can't start it in the first place."
Ask the owner of the store who talks in a single word, "Kagi", and they usually don't activate the device for registering a master on the chest. I also showed it to Golem technicians, but they threw me a spoon and it was supposed to be sold this way.
"So I'll make it cheaper. I want customers to buy it."
A fat shopkeeper calls out to me as I rub my hands. Hmm. It's cheap. Seventy pieces in king gold coins, 700 million yen, right? I think it's strange for money.
That's 500 million after I figured out what the gorilla type was capable of earlier. What do you mean it's higher than that? You look stronger over there, and you look sturdy.
"You don't have a choice. Holla, you see. Here."
The shopkeeper points to Golem's chest in the case. There was a small mark and something engraved with letters and numbers.
"Star crest......" Etoile "series?" [incomprehensible]
"I see."
I saw that. I nod as Nia and Yuri convinced me. I don't know why Yuri explained to me that the "Etoile" series is a Golem marked with this star, which is attached to an excellent fuselage among the ancient fuselages "Legacy".
Probably like the same manufacturer's brand mark.
As I learned later, it's hard to see hidden in the armor area, but they also have a crown mark inscribed on Rouge's neck. That seems to be the "Crown" series brand mark.
"Is it real?
"Nobody fakes it on the black market. It's forbidden to go in and out, and if it's bad, it'll be erased."
I see. If this is a real "Etoile" series, do you mean it's worth it even if you don't know what you're capable of?
"So, what do we do with the customers? Why don't you buy it?" Etoile "wouldn't be so cheap, would it?
"Hmmm......"
To be honest, I feel like this is more of a mess, like a gatekeeper robot, but this feels like a good fit for leaving a message.
Maybe it's possible to get it up and running because our Doctor will analyze a lot. I would think of another way, even if it didn't work. Then... do you have this too?
"Okay. I bought it. But look at this before you do."
Remove Adamantite ingots from "storage" and show them to suspicious verbal shopkeepers. The shopkeeper had been looking at it for a while, but eventually he opened his eyes and turned to this one.
"Where the hell is Adamantite?"
"It's against the rules here to ask where it came from, isn't it? I want you to sell all three of those golems with one hundred and thirty king gold coins."
"All three!? No..."
Store owner thinks Adamantite forward. The truth is that one hundred and fifty King coins have also been reduced by the entrance fee. It would be helpful if you decided on this amount. You can pay for it in full Adamantite, because that's exactly what I suspect.
Although the "Etoile" series, golems that do not start and special metals of rare value here as well. In his head, the balance of commerce would be shaking.
Eventually the shopkeeper smiled nimmari and opened his mouth.
"You got it. I'll hit you with this Vajra Iron Adamantite and one hundred and thirty King coins. I'll sell them all."
"That's a deal."
He handed the shopkeeper one hundred and thirty King gold coins and bought out three golems. Sometimes I bought three of them as spare fuselages when something happened, but when they were in line, they seemed like sisters, and I didn't feel like pulling them apart.
When all three were stored case by case in "storage," the store owner who saw it was solidified, but decided not to care.
"No matter how many" ethoils, "there are three of them?
"Mmm. I don't know, but I was wondering if I'd ever been over it. I don't know when I'll get it next."
Answer Nia's words appropriately. At any rate, this has served one purpose. And then find a place where you can install dimensional gates? Pioneer even on some little uninhabited island?
When I was thinking about that, I heard a faint scream from somewhere.
"... what's that now?
"Hmm? What's up?
Nia calls out to me when she suddenly stops.
Again. The screams are mixed up in the murmur here and can be heard from afar. Not one. I hear a lot of them.
Looking beside him, Rouge stopped in the same way, staring up at the ceiling. Up there!
Something is happening on the floor upstairs.
……♪ ♪……
What? After a while I thought I stopped screaming and now I hear a song that sounds like fun.
At the next moment, the thick leather door leading to the ground is cut in two and gotten to the floor! and fell.
Through the meantime, I hear a clearer song than just now from the darkness of the aisle.
"... from the hanging table ~ sounds like a fun laugh ♪ I shook a knife ~ The doll chooses the cat's eyes ~ ♪"
"This voice... ugh!
Nia exposes her alert and stares behind the mutilated door.
Eventually, I stepped over the remains of that door and one girl appeared.
Gothic garment with purple frills, with a shorter tiered skirt below. And this is another little purple umbrella. The girl wore slim glasses, but the deep purple eyes behind it seemed to have no light.
Long hair like amethyst is cut off and looks like a city pine doll. At first glance I get the impression of being adorable, but the return blood that bathed it all over my body was smashing everything.
Above all I care about is a purple little golem with a long reaper sickle, standing beside the girl. The atmosphere and characteristics are very similar to the red golem next to me.
"Hey, no way is that..."
"That golem is a purple" crown, "Fanatic Viola. And that guy...!
"Luna Trieste......" Frenzy lady. "
Frenzy...? When I was surprised by the words, the girl began to turn herself around as she spun her umbrella in front of the entrance.
"Damn it. Damn it. Give me your eyeballs. ♪ Instead, give me a restful, permanent Towa sleep. ♪
Mumbling such a song, the girl who had been painted "Mami" on her return blood was turning around. And look at us in the venue, smiling and singing even more.
"Your Heart, please."
