Legend

The morning after we got out on the sand boat, Ray's figure was on the side of the magic tent.
Magic tent was erected near a sandy ship.
Eventually, when it came to the captain's office, they decided to have him stay in Ceto, and Ray and the others slept in the magic tent, as usual.
... Even though we slept together in a magic tent, it's not like I slept in a bed with Elaine and the others.
The inside of the magic tent is a big room, and I'm just saying that we slept together there.
Shall we sleep together around the marina? And half the time, I even asked him out, but Ray slept through it and on his own.
It was Ray's honest feeling that he should have even had Elaine's carriage with similar features because there was mystering.
I don't have a horse to tow it, so it doesn't make sense as a carriage... but if I thought of it as a magic tent replacement, I could have used it enough.
Also, even if it is a horse to tow, it could not be brought because no creature can be stored in the mistering, but some horses have been taken from Rossi's cavalry in the present situation.
(For the most part, some horses are getting ill. The water can be managed by the spiritual magic of the marina, but after all, the food will need a solid leaf or something, not the grass growing around it.... even for that grass, it's good because the meadows are still going on now, but there's no way this meadow is going to last anywhere)
Ray thinks about what's to come as he looks at the meadows that are spreading around him.
Fortunately, the number of horses is not that high.
Still, there are about thirty horses, so it would take a lot of effort just to carry that much horse feeding if it were normal, but in the case of a mysterious ray, you don't have to worry about that.
That's the only thing I have no problem at all with buying just one.
"Good morning, Mr. Ray"
When I think about horses, I hear voices like that.
Ray, who turned his gaze to those who heard him, saw it as one of the resistances.
Obviously older than Ray, but what you see in Ray's eyes is a light of respect.
Since Ray also had an alias, he was used to being directed at the gaze of that hand - often insulted by his appearance - so now he no longer cared if he took such a gaze.
"Oh, you're early."
Ray's right, it's still early in the morning.
At 7: 00 a.m., which I had decided was breakfast time, it's still nearly an hour away.
At that hour, it was natural for Ray to wonder why the Resistance man came out of the sandship like this.
Note that, basically, the morning was weak Ray, but that was only a story when he slept in the inn, and he wasn't that weak in the morning during the request, like this one.
Sometimes I sleep more than absolutely.
In the meantime, I was successful in getting up normally today.
... I can't necessarily say that even if I haven't slept in my bed with Elaine and the others, it hasn't affected my behavior of being called by my name in my bedtime.
"Haha. I never thought I'd sleep on such a fine ship."
For once, there are ships in the country of Labourina.
But it is only the country or the merchant connected to the country that has it.
It's only a ship to the point where a few people would be full if they were on board, such as a ship that has been boarded by someone like the Resistance.
Not very much, but there was no opportunity to board a ship the size of a sandy ship.
Time was running out while we were having a conversation like that, and eventually people would come down from the sandy boat... and things like morning readiness and breakfast would begin.
There are naturally rumours about sandy ships, and many merchants and thinkers try to talk to the Rays back on the streets.
But time is very valuable to the Rays today, and only those of the merchants who turn to Rays with them managed to get information.
Some merchants should have gone in opposite directions to the Rays, but some returned to those who came to them in an effort to get some information about the sandship.
"So what the hell was that ship?
"I'm sorry, I can't tell you because we're not supposed to divulge information about that ship"
"That's a little good, isn't it? From what I've seen, you all seem to have a lot of things going on. If it's okay with me, I can help you with everything."
Among the Rays, a merchant manipulating the carriage tells that to a woman who seems a little grown up.
I guess he's a merchant doing business more widely than a pedestrian travelling on foot than he has a carriage, but he's still nothing more than water for the Rays on merchandise to the point of entering the carriage.
Does the woman know that too, she opens her mouth with regret against the merchant sitting on the carriage stand moving next to her.
"Well, since you can't answer a bit if I tell you, can you ask Ray, who is at the head of the group?
"Mr. Ray, is that..."
The merchant turns his gaze toward Ray, who is at the head of the group when he hears the woman's words.
If you look at the sight of walking while stroking a griffon, it's not a hard story to guess who the person is.
A merchant must be sharp in information.
More than that, it was impossible not to know the existence of Ray with a deep red alias.
And it's only natural that I want to be closer to celebrities like Ray than I am to being a merchant... but there's a reason I can't do that.
Because there are several merchants around this group currently led by Ray.
The merchants, naturally, wanted to gather information about the sandy ship Ray had and someone named Ray… and even closer to Elaine with the alias of General Princess near that Ray.
With those two... and getting close to the face of the Red Lotus Wings led by Ray, he understands that there's probably a big business opportunity.
However, the number of merchants gathered around this group is more than ten… precisely because some of the single merchants are acting together, so there are about ten pairs.
And the merchants gathering together know many faces not least.
All such merchants guard and restrain their opponents.
If you imitate that only one merchant here talks to Ray, you buy the resentment of the other merchants.
It's natural to move to make money as a merchant, but imitating resentment from other merchants would create obstacles in the business ahead.
It was the common sentiment of the merchants that they didn't want to have as many waves as possible than they did.
(But you can't say that either. There must have been a village ahead.... Was it Emisma? I just want to tell you something before I arrive at Emisma if I can)
The merchant man worries as he looks at Ray walking with Seto.
If it's definitely in your interest, you can outrun the other merchants.
Of course, if it's profitable to just be resented by other merchants, I'm talking about it.
Other merchants know that there is a village ahead.
I don't think we can completely replenish food and water in the village or anything else than this much more than just a bunch of people, but there will certainly be less business opportunities nonetheless.
Before that happened, I wanted to manage to get information about this population and imitate, if possible, selling some kind of product.
When a merchant is troubled, he gazes at a familiar merchant who is a little further away.
And let them gaze at each other...... eventually, nodding without either.
It's all kinds of unsavory to get out of other merchants by yourself, but if you two...
I don't really want to do this kind of dangerous imitation, if it were meant to be.
But there's no doubt that this is a great opportunity, and now that we have two people, I wonder if we can work it out. Yes, instinctively I guessed.
That seems to have been the same for the other merchant, who manipulates the carriage to the head when they nod small at each other.
"Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr......"
"Bull."
However, the behavior of the two horses, who accidentally tow the carriage, becomes suspicious at the point of arriving at the beginning of a line in a few moments.
The merchant is bewildered by such a horse's attitude, as if he showed in his attitude that he did not want to go ahead.
When the other merchant turned his gaze, they still seemed to ring as if the horse would never want to go any further.
"What do you want to do?
"I don't care what they say. I let the others out. If there's nothing we can do here after all, that's what we're gonna do."
"I understand that, but in this situation the carriage..."
"I'm watching your carriage, so you go talk to him."
"Mr. Kroger... are you okay?
"Oh. Instead, if you need something, don't just do business with Shmura, turn it on me, too."
"... ok"
After such an exchange, the man called Shumla leaves his carriage to Kroger...
"Oh, my God. I got the vibe. I got it."
To that voice I heard all of a sudden, I stop my leg.
When two people, Shumla and Kroger, pointed their gaze at you, there was a figure of a man there.
It's obvious who it is without thinking.
In the first place, Shumla and Kroger were trying to meet this person.
"Mr. Ray...... is it?
"Oh. I thought I might need something over here. It's just... well, that. I thought if it was a carriage, you wouldn't be able to come near me, so I came from over here."
Ordinary horses naturally scare Seto.
Still, if we stayed together for days, we wouldn't be scared of Seto... but the horse carrying the carriage of the Shmuras was the first to encounter Seto today, so there's no way we can get used to it.
Ray noticed the carriage approaching him and came to the scene from himself before the horse broke out frightened.
You were surprised by Ray's attitude like that, and Shumla and Kroger aren't able to hide their surprise looks.
It is a sign of immaturity to put your emotions on the table openly as a merchant, but I think we both have no choice but to do so this time.
An adventurer with an alias has come all the way to our side.
... other merchants a little further away are sending me a resentful, yet enviable gaze somewhere.
Naturally. Because even if Shumla or Kroger were in the same position as the merchants they were looking at, they were confident that they were going to do the same.
Most definitely, it was just the right opportunity for Ray.
If we keep moving the merchants like this, we stand out in a bad way.
Originally a group of nearly a thousand people - which is also the majority of women, many of whom remain dressed as prostitutes - is badly noticeable, but if the merchants are with such a group, they are more noticeable than ever.
To get rid of the merchants at all... and I had the thought that I might be able to buy some of the supplies I was running short of.
"Really, thank you. So... I saw it a while ago, what the hell is that building?
"Buildings? Yeah, sand aboard. It's a magic item. Isn't that about what you've heard?
The two Shumla and Kroger show how convinced they were that there was something to think about Ray's words like that.
"I've heard of it, was that a sandship?"
"Oh, yeah.... Okay, so what are you guys selling? I think it's okay to buy some products together."
"... everything, is it?
I grumble at Ray's words in a way that I don't understand what Shumla is being said for a moment.
That's the same for Kroger, are you serious? He had such a look on his face.
"Oh. Especially if you have clothes and that kind of system, you want as much as you can. Other things like water bottles and food… I'll buy as many as I can."
"There is a cloth, but the cloth itself...... the food is quite good if it is a preserved food. Mr. Kroger, where are you?
"There's cloth here, too, but you don't have clothes. Water bottles can be made from leather bags."
To the words, Ray smiles with joy.
At present the most craving is cloth, because water bottles and food were a substitute for wishes.
"Okay. Sell me as many cloths and sewing tools as you can. Food and water bottles, of course. There are other things I want to buy, so it would be helpful if you told other merchants to get together."
"No, that would help Ningro. It's bad for other merchants when we're the only ones making money."
Saying so, Shumla smiles that she was helped.
It was a laugh because it pushed out other merchants, but it reduced the likelihood of being unilaterally resented by dividing the profits rather than monopolizing them.
