"That was a very satisfying purchase. And the price was right."
Ray squeaks as he leaves the store selling magic items.
Eventually, the potion stock was also for five crates, and Ray bought all of it.
As I put it in words, the price was the right one.
No, on the contrary, I have bought a large number of products and even got a discount, albeit slightly.
(Though, maybe I just said more prices from the beginning and made it look like a discount)
When I was in Japan, supermarkets and convenience stores showed good prices on products, and there were no discounts or anything.
Nevertheless, Ray lived in a lot more shops on his own than in the countryside, and in that case there were usually discounts and such.
Ray also knew his face since he was a little girl, so if his mother asked him to use it, he would get a discount or an extra.
"So, what do you do? You want to go to another store?
Viewing the sight of Seto and the children playing, Vihera asks Ray.
The clerk told me about the location of the store selling several other magic items to the city.
If you go around the store, Ray will be able to buy other potions.
I had no intention of refusing that to Ray any more than I did.
"Right, I just want to go around all the stores if I can"
"Right. I think you should do that. It's the Devil's Forest we're headed to."
Envy me...... Vihera exchanging words with Ray looking really envious from the bottom of her heart.
If you turn it into a vihela, it's definitely a very interesting place to live in a forest of demons with powerful enemies.
That's as much as I think I want to go, not just Ray.
Just for such a place, more potions, even if they are of there quality, would be better.
Besides, if you store it in Ray's mysteries, the potion won't be available over time.
If you don't have to consider a lack of potion, like Gilm, just Ray, who hasn't had trouble with the gold, you should definitely have bought as much as you could.
(Oh, but maybe I'll come to this city from Gilm to buy potions or something? Well, would you give it up because it was an early winner then)
It is true that business is an early winner.
Most of all, Ray is close to breaking the rules at a time when he can travel on a set.
"Hey, I'm sorry, but I'm going to another store. Does anyone know what a Darvins store is?
Ask the children who were playing with Seto, yes.
I generally hear from the clerk where the store is located.
But that's only for the most part, and most importantly, it's the first time Ray's been in this city.
More than that, it's hard to find a place with a store just because people hear about it.
If it's in a store facing the boulevard, it's pretty easy to understand.
However, although it is not a back alley like this store, if it is in a place that cannot be seen from the front street, it cannot be imitated so easily.
"Oh, I know!
Fortunately, one of the kids who was playing with Seto said he knew the Darvins store Ray was about to go to next.
If so, it is also quick to act as Ray.
Ask the child to guide you and give you dried fruit.
Of course, I knew I would envy the other children if I gave them to just one of them, so to everyone.
However, give a little more to the child who will guide you.
"Sweet!"
children eating dried fruit and screaming with joy
Essentially, the sweetness is high, so children are rarely eaten.
Now if you have forests and forests nearby, you may have the opportunity to eat fruit seeds, but unfortunately there are only meadows and streets around this city with no forests or forests.
(Oh, but isn't it strange if there's little fruit in the meadows or something? The question is if anyone would bother to get out of the city and pick that up)
Even if I were there, it would be hard to get into the children's mouths.
In that sense, I guess the dried fruit Ray gave us was a treat for the kids.
"This way, brother, sister! Over here, over here!"
And the kids who ate the treat naturally become quite fond of Ray and Vihera.
(I give the suspicious people good food, so I'm subtly worried they won't come with me or kidnap me like that)
I'm glad you've been so favored with dried fruit, but that makes me slightly worried.
"Ready? Don't follow me, even if someone you don't know tells me it's because I do good food, okay?
While guided, Ray speaks to the children so.
In Japan we need to pay attention to opponents like perverts, but slaves exist in this Elgin.
And some slave traders who deal with slaves are like collecting slaves illegally rather than purchasing them by regular means - criminal slaves or debt slaves.
Most of all, the demand for child slavery is not so much.
In that sense, I don't really need to worry that much... but it's not like none of us still have a lot of demand.
"What? Of course I know, I don't know."
He was a boy who would say that to Ray's words, but I wonder if I could believe those words.
"It's okay, Ray. These kids are not that dumb. You're so relieved that Seto is here."
"Is that what this is all about?
It was Ray questioning Vihera's words, but still, if Vihera meant it, let's see how convinced he is for now.
That's how it goes along, eventually going off the boulevard a little further down the side road.
(Is it a sidewalk again this time? Why are the stores selling magic items in this city so hard to find? I don't think that's the reason it's more atmospheric, right?
As a matter of course, when it comes to shops on the main street and where you entered the sidewalk from there, sales are higher in the former. … For that matter, the rent is higher if you want to buy land.
Still, shops selling magic items make a lot of money because of the high cost of the product.
"Look, here. This is Darvins' place."
Within minutes of entering the sidewalk, a child says.
For those of you watching the kids, there was one shop.
A store the size of an earlier store.
"Isn't there a big store in this city?
"Come on? But referring to that store doesn't sound strange when a store the same size comes out, does it? I'll go sooner than that. This isn't the only place to buy potions."
Saying so, Vihera pulls Ray's hand and heads to the store.
Seto will naturally play outside with the kids and wait.
Ray is also naturally interested in Magic Atheim, so even if he is pulled from Vihera, he does not imitate it in a particular way to resist, but enters the store.
"Oh, there you are. You've got a lot of beautiful people here."
A woman in her fifties or so said she was surprised to see Ray and Vihera entering the store.
I suppose it was Vihera, not Ray, the clerk woman who described her as a beautiful person.
Vihera opens her mouth, not Ray, because she described herself as a beautiful person in the corner.
"Can I buy as many potions as I can? Of course, it doesn't matter if you leave some leeway so that the city's residents don't have trouble when they have to."
"Oh... are you serious? When you need that many potions, it's pretty expensive, isn't it?
Are you serious? Instead, he favors someone who tells him to worry about the Rays' condition, and Ray puts a few pieces of white gold coins taken from the mysteries on the counter.
Seeing it, the clerk woman showed a little surprise... and eventually she nodded, putting out the potion.
"Well, you know what?"
I ended up going around five stores and successfully bought quite a few potions.
Ray is satisfied because he didn't sell high quality potions like the ones sold in the guilds to any store, but there were a lot of quality potions there, and he was able to buy a lot of high quality potions, even though they weren't as good as the ones sold in the guilds.
"You've given the kids a lot of time."
"He didn't seem so dissapointed because he was playing with Seto."
By guiding the store, the children eventually showed me all the stores.
I went into the store to have a light meal along the way, but it would be a necessary expense around there.
A shame about Ningro Ray would be that there was no such thing as a specialty dish in this city.
Seto, who was looking forward to you, seemed very sorry for that.
Nevertheless, just because there were no specialty dishes doesn't mean the dishes that were sold in this city themselves are unsavory.
There was no such thing as delicious food to my surprise, but there were still usually many delicious dishes.
(Or maybe there were specialty dishes if I went to a fancy store or something... No, I don't think I can expect much when it comes to specialty dishes like the only one sold in that kind of store)
It was Ray's perception that it felt like eating in a regular store rather than a fancy restaurant because it was a specialty dish.
So-called, like B-grade gourmet.
"So, what are we going to do? Back to Gilm now? Or do you want to look for a few more other cities and villages?
"I've secured a good amount of potion, so I can go back to the guild now. If things go right around here and get into weird issues..."
"A bandit!
"... Ray..."
Before Ray said it to the end, that scream I heard.
That was exactly the right time for the word flag.
"No, it's not like I did something, is it?
Even as I give that back to Vihera, who I'm going to look at with a frightened glance, is Ray still my flag? I don't think so.
"Even so, bandits attack cities like this? There's no place nearby that's going to be a bandit's ego."
"Isn't that something like a stream bandit? You know, you decided to attack this city passing by."
That's what I told you, Vihera, but it doesn't seem to me that he believes his words that much.
This is more than a city, too. There must be a lot of strength in defense, like guards and adventurers.
If this is the size of a village, we can't expect that much power.
"So, what do you do? If we keep this up, we're gonna get more injuries, and we might need a potion, right? Someone bought a lot of potions."
"For once, I told you to leave the city's residents in no trouble."
"Right, I told you. But that's only to the extent that you don't have any trouble when you're living normal, right? You think the situation is normal now that the bandits have attacked us?
"Then why don't we take him down?"
To Vihella's words, Ray makes that decision lightly.
If you try to lay, there's nothing like struggling if you're an enemy to the extent of a bandit.
On the contrary, I would say a kind of bonus.
Anyway, if you defeat it, all the treasures the bandits have will be your own, and if you can make them live, you can imitate selling the bandits as criminal slaves.
Usually you have to catch them alive to sell them as criminal slaves and carry them to the nearest city, so you kill them all, but if they showed up right near the city, it was different story.
Did Vihera also agree with Ray, nodding instantly?
"Well, let's go. It would be a shame if the city was damaged here."
"Seto, please"
"Gru!"
To Ray's words, Seto is also motivated and throaty.
If you try Ceto, if a bandit breaks into the city, it will mean that the children who were playing with me until earlier will die.
He could get hurt even if he didn't die, and he could be captured and sold as a slave.
Given the circumstances around it, there is no such option as Seto not getting his hands on here.
Ray and Vihera on Ceto head straight for those with gates.
There were many gathered together.
Some have fled all over the city from the outside, others have gathered for a little information on things like bandits have attacked.
In the midst of all these people, there came to Seto... the Rays on the Griffon, so it was only natural that it would be a commotion.
