Kokugensou wo Item Cheat de Ikinuku

Episode 6: Save the Caravan Squad!

"Shall we go monster hunting"

Sister Louise (twenty-four year old single), where she is my dependable escort, abruptly said.

The establishment of the Sawatari Chamber of Commerce in the city of Est was taking up the reef.

It would have been nice to give Count Danaban the vacant land in the commercial area near the city square after he had made a huge cut of the "Sado Chamber of Commerce".

On second thought, I had run out of money for buying a front carriage.

No, on the contrary, horses are borrowed from the Rod family.

Instead, I can even say it's a slight deficit.

From the Los Goux mine to the city of Est, a single shipment of iron products would be nothing but gold.

To create a chamber of commerce, you have to build a commercial hall, and you have to hire staff.

That's right, Dr. Lyle. Nor does he even have the actual management know-how with only the Chamber of Commerce system that he knows.

"It's not what you know and what you can do, is it?" is Dr. Lyle's valve.

I've been in pain since I've been in this world, too.

And this is a private matter, but I'm too sad to have nothing to precede you, even though I came shopping to the city of Est because of it.

The soap I brought (one silver coin for sale) and detergent (one copper coin for sale) sold them all to fly, sometimes with rarity and low value, but not very much, but not enough.

The bomb cannot be sold to citizens or other merchants because it is a commodity with an exclusive agreement with the Silesier royal family.

I'm also thinking of a civilian product that uses gunpowder, but it's still in the prototype stage.

In this kind of stuck situation, it's Louise's suggestion that I should just give up and go back to the village of Rossgow.

"You can make money on a monster crusade request, I don't want any money because I'm part of the escort"

Wow, Louise, your sister's fat.

I wonder what kind of favourable conditions they offer me.

"Instead, give me the meat and skin of the monster"

Wow, that's the usual Louise.

Maybe he's just starting to want to eat monster guts, not help me or something.

But I appreciate Louise's suggestion.

You mean it works for now, rather than thinking about it.

Sister Louise, Dr. Lyle and I had a threesome party, and when I went to the Adventurers Guild, there was a rush of noise there.

"If you are, you're an adventurer! I need an urgent request, will you take it?"

As we entered the Alliance, the Alliance clerk's old man changed his blood phase and asked for it.

"Near the city, a merchant caravan squad was attacked by a monster. The guards are on their way, but the Alliance needs backup. The reward will come from your lord, please!

"Okay, let's go!

Louise, instant instant instant anytime, has decided to go.

I don't know how many monsters they're raiding.

But the guards are there, so are you okay?

I heard this city is peaceful, but there are no monsters nearby.

Well, is it also a chance to sell favors to the Count?

Think positive.

"Worst case scenario, the escaped caravan brought a bunch of monsters here."

Professor Lyle said bitterly, glancing at the war situation ahead of him in a hurry.

Outside the city, fighting had begun with monsters and guards about three kilometers away.

The number of man-made monsters surrounding the caravan squad is better than fifty.

Is the small green carbide green goblin and the large earthy carbide earth orga?

It's a monster you're familiar with in RPG.

I know it as knowledge, but my legs are dull when I see a monster with the same weapon as a human being attacking and killing a person.

In contrast, fewer than ten guards rushed with spears, obviously not enough trouble.

I suppose there's a reason why we shouldn't be able to pull back to a city with a fence.

The goods the caravan squad was dealing with were, at worst, slaves.

Plenty of slaves who have been multiplied by chains and cannot escape satisfactorily or resist are dead attacked by monsters without the art of exchange.

Cracked in the head by a boneless stick with an orga.

I was stabbed in the chest by Goblin's pointy short sword.

Slaves without protective gear also fall quickly and cease to move.

I squeezed my courage and grabbed the Iron Sword, wondering if the time had finally come to use this.

Even if I gasped for life misery, I didn't let go of this iron sword.

The time has come to show the power of Kitatsune One-Blade Licensing (Communication Course)!

"That's not it, Takel. Throw that weird sounding gunpowder and use it! Doctor asks for magic."

Sounding gunpowder means the firecracker I prototyped and the kanshiki balls?

Louise, who gave me instructions, has a small bow for his phone in his hand and is shooting at a nearby goblin.

Fast and accurate headshots!

"Lyle Laertios commands heaven and earth, barking waterfalls, sobbing winds, crumbling earth, knock down the daunting enemies as they may!

Intermediate large-scale magic, spiral hurricanes that Dr. Lyle specializes in.

The teacher waves up with a slightly sickly chant in the middle.

It unleashes all the magic of the wind, water and earth systems at once, and huge water tornadoes erupt multiple times to blow up the orga herd.

Not just enemies who ate the tornado directly, but have a flashy secondary effect involving them all the way around with scattered earthen stones.

Fantasy-like spell. No, magic.

Compared to that, I was a little rotten thinking it was a kid's toy.

Throw the original Kanshiku balls into the herd of monsters.

Following that, the firecrackers were lit with the minimum output of the 'Flameball Wand' before being thrown at the goblins there.

Bread, bread, bread! And the familiar, dry sound rings.

Goblin, who was directly hit by a firecracker attack, blew up with a surprising overreaction I threw.

Is that working unexpectedly?

d than the flashy Dr. Lyle's big tornado attack.

The bursting sound and glow familiar to the firecrackers seems to have distracted the herd, and the monsters stopped moving for a moment.

The guard who was fighting is also looking at me with a stopped hand and a stunned face.

It's just fireworks, okay?

Next, the goblins, who apparently stepped on the sprinkled kanshiku balls, screamed high and hurried to give them one fall after another.

There, at some point, Louise, who switched from a bow to a straight knife (a sabel), jumps in and pokes a crunch around Goblin's chest.

"What are you doing, throw more -!

Louise scolds me, and I throw more and more firecrackers in front of me in the augs and goblins.

Even though it didn't seem like such a powerful attack, every time the firecrackers burst, the monsters wolfed and frightened.

In that gap, Louise replaces the dull cut sword one after the other, cutting, grunting and poking it and killing it almost with one blow.

It was a blow so special that it seemed unpleasant.

At the end of the day, Zach, Zach, it was a short sword duplicity.

I want to play that protagonist-like warrior too, but I can't do it without my arm.

At the very least, I thought it was magical and cool at the end, and I tried to hit the enemy with a 'Flameball Wand' fireball, but I can only do enough damage to burn the thin skin of the auga.

This doesn't work better than firecrackers.

Is it like this with zero magic power from the original and only the power of the wand?

Tohoho......

Eventually, the herd of monsters retreated to scatter spider children around half of them slaughtered and killed by Louise.

The caravan squad of attacked slave traders is in terrible shape, and the guards have a lot of wounded, so we can't afford to chase them.

Louise, who had finished the intense battle, had only about as much damage as a scratch, and drank a healing potion immediately to make it fully fast.

From behind Louise, I was just throwing firecrackers, and I couldn't get hurt.

Still, why did firecrackers and kanshiki balls work so well?

When I ask the question, Louise says, "Intelligent enemies are vulnerable to first-sight attacks."

In this world, firecrackers and kanshiku balls have never been seen by anyone with a new weapon.

So, Louise seems to have thought she could use it to stop the enemy from moving since she saw me making fireworks and playing.

Then I wish you'd explained the operation from the beginning, but it's Louise you're not telling me.

The battle is over, with Caravan Squad and city guards talking, but Caravan Squad had only a few servants left at the bottom.

I don't know how big the original is, but it's almost total annihilation.

All the merchants who kept fighting even when the monsters chased them were dead.

I'd say that was a tough fight, but even if we were caught up by a bunch of monsters, we could afford to request rescue from the city of Est.

If I had cut off the carriage immediately and fled to the city, only my life would have been saved.

I can say it was the last time I grew too greedy.

I know the game, but sometimes even if your life is at stake, you missee the time of retreat.

I don't know how you feel because it was just one step to the city. But I don't...

Look at the alien man-shaped monster and the gloomy battlefield where the merchant's body is falling so that it folds, and when it comes to it, swear hard to throw away the carriage and run away.

Life can't be bought with gold, I knew I didn't want to die.

And even if the monster stabbed me or beat me up, my undead slave is groaning in agony, can I help you with this?

"It looks like the masters of these slaves are already gone, and your potion is yours, so you can take it on your own"

Louise said so, beginning to dismantle the nearby goblin body with a knife.

Ah, the human-shaped monster falls apart, too.

Something cruel and very resistant, but even from the fat of a man-made monster, it's not what I say when I squeeze oil and make soap.

Neither the guard nor the survival of the merchant will squeeze into a slave that remains chained and is full of blood and not dead or dead.

You mean we don't all deal with each other, or you're not looking at humans.

Is this the case that there is no human rights?

There are only five recovery potions, I sorted out a potentially helpful injured slave and gave him a potion to drink.

Sorting life and death, it's heavy. It's like a disaster medical cartoon.

I regret that if this were to happen, I should have just bought more of the recovery potion.

"Why are you helping me?"

My chest ached so badly when I was asked by a child of slaves who drank and intervened in a recovery potion in a voice that was about to disappear.

Long, dusty hair all over the sand, muddy faces, hard to say clothes, and a robe that was scrupulously chopped apart by a monster, just wrapped around a worn cloth.

Thin dirt, worn out, and I don't know the gender, but slaves are all young if you look closely. Some children were young.

It makes me pathetic that I'm supposed to be old enough to be put under parental asylum.

"I don't know, but I was wondering if it was because I could help"

I guess it doesn't change that slaves are slaves, and it could be cruel to say something that gives them hope with cheap sympathy.

To tell you the truth, I can buy potions for gold again, but I can't buy my life.

But I know I can't help but say those modern people's values.

This is what happens in this world because people's lives can easily be bought with gold, too.

Real fantasy at all, there's no salvation.

That's why I don't like it.

"The guards told me you were working very well, Lord Takel."

"No, by chance."

Back in the city, Count Danabahn gave me immediate compliments.

I'm glad you let me have coffee, rather than words of labor.

Louise also invited me, but since she refused to take as much meat and skin as she could from the massive carcasses, it was only me and Dr. Lyle who were invited to the Castle of the Count.

Louise when she's dismantling meat and skin, no one can stop her.

"I heard you used incredible magic, but this little ball was your weapon?

"It's firecrackers and kanshiku balls, fireworks that use gunpowder, and I really meant to make them for my kids' toys."

Count Danabahn is curious.

When I brought it before, I didn't show interest in gunpowder products, but when I heard it was a valid product in action, I ruptured the firecrackers and kanshiki balls myself, confirming its power.

"It seems a little too exciting to be a child's toy, but it's going to be a weapon that frightens the enemy. It's good that it can be used for things that don't have magic."

"Well, maybe we should still sell it as a weapon"

Celebrating flashy with firecrackers is a Chinese custom, and I guess it's not the preference of Western aristocrats.

I've been thinking about whether gunpowder can also be used peacefully, but it may still only be used for weapons in this turmoil.

"Um, so the reward for Lord Takel is a little troublesome..."

According to the Count, the caravan squad of slave traders, which was half-destructed after much damage, was broken up after his husband died.

The remaining servants said they would talk to him and let go of all the cargo carriages that were about to break, and go home with the money to match the rest.

The problem is thirteen survivors of slaves, this shipment.

There are no merchants in the city of Est to deal with slaves, so there was no one to buy them off.

So with the nuisance fee that brought the noise into the city, the servants pushed the non-redeemable slaves to Count Danabahn.

Where pressed, the Count doesn't want slaves either.

"Ah, I see. So you can get a slave for the reward. It was just fine, actually, I just wanted the manpower to create a chamber of commerce!

That's what the Count and I thought.

I do want money, but I just wanted manpower the most for business.

Isn't that a boat proposition to cross?

"What?"

"Is that it?"

The Count made me look weird. I guess I said something that weird.

Dr. Lyle, what is this all about?

"No merchant wants to use slaves, mostly those who have fallen into debt or their descendants, for trade union employees"

"Really?

"Slaves are all human beings who have broken themselves out of their businesses, even if they are not vicious enough to fall into banditry. It's thought to be an inferior workforce where someone is constantly watching you and beating you with a stick and letting you work without becoming a user."

Because I have no idea, the teacher smiled like he said he couldn't help but teach the child to bite and include.

Slaves don't move in the main, so they're not for merchants.

When I think of the slaves who look like they quit, I'm not prejudiced.

But I guess that's because we're being pushed into desperate situations.

"If Lord Takel wants, you can hand it over as a reward for this one. But from what I've heard, they're not good quality slaves either..."

When he asked if that was really a good idea, the Count glanced at Dr. Lyle with chills.

"Yes, either way, you need a worker, and Lord Takel might come up with a way to use it like a servant, even a bad slave."

Yes, Dr. Lyle smiled at me and undertook, so the Count allowed me to "Okay, fine, fine".

Um, I've been thinking about it.

I knew I wasn't trusted in common sense at all.

Well, if Dr. Lyle and I were in line, could you help?
