Netooku Otoko no Tanoshii Isekai Boueki (WN)

Episode 78: The Artifact Has a Long Scent

"Oh, I heard about the clan."

After I left the temple, I remembered that I was originally going to ask the clergyman if he knew anything about the clan today.

The boy's blessing ritual, the Elepi thing, I totally forgot. Well, see you next time......

Its an elepi, but now I'm already recovering my energy and knightly rigging with Marina.

Sometimes, there's this sort of shake back, but if you calm down a little, it's fine - it's her valve, but "trauma enough to vomit" was hard for me to imagine growing up in modern society.

- This, I heard later, seems that the house of Elepi was originally an imperial nobleman - albeit of lower rank -.

Elepi's father was young and succeeded the housekeeper, but the house fell before Elepi was born because of business failures. After that, he moved from Imperial Capital to Eliche, and was so distressed that he could talk about rebuilding his house?

But Elepi's parents hoped to rebuild their homes long after they fell. Once, I guess I could not forget the life of a time when I was proud of my glory.

In the meantime, the eldest daughter Elepi is born between them.

My parents naturally expected Elepi. He was raised to be given more blessings to bless a good vocation, albeit in poverty.

Elepi received the expectations of her parents, and grew bright, active, courteous, and pathetically beautiful.

And destiny's 10th birthday.

She was blessed and given the knight's vocation......

Sometimes I still dream about that time.

A mother who paled her face and lost her expression.

"You are an unfaithful daughter," the father threw up and left the temple in the middle of the ritual.

After that day, my parents suddenly became cold and adored only my sister......

"... I wish I had been a saint knight," Elepi snapped.

Unlike just knights, if they're saints, they have no problem with whether they're women or not.

There, I don't know how much difference it makes. But it is, it is so decided. That was the only truth.

By the way, in terms of rebuilding your home, because there was also a hand in marrying some nobleman, Elepi's parents used a handout from the aristocracy - even before Elepi received his blessing - and began to root for it. If the bonds with the nobility are put together, the reconstruction of your home will also be realistic. I don't mind the vocation being normal either......

But knight. - More so, knight.

"You're saying that a female knight can't even get married? Noble daughter-in-law doesn't have a job. It doesn't matter."

I wondered and asked a question. The knights didn't understand the tale of an elepi that didn't even get along well.

"... you can marry yourself, young husband. But... nobility is not allowed. A knight woman is considered imperfect, and she never chooses, never lets her marry."

"That's again... something. But it got better without a daughter-in-law in such a narrow spot, so it turned out to be O'Rei, I'm sure."

Elepi lay her eyes down and said with the same faceless expression as usual.

"... don't make it easy. No... it's not that simple."

It was meant to be my follow up, but I guess I didn't understand it with proper reality.

A casual consolation is something that sometimes irritates people.

"... bad. You were insensitive."

"Oh... yeah, I'm sorry about that.... just for a moment, it seemed like it was a nervas"

Elepi - even though he fell - said he understood that there was no freedom of marriage as a destiny born in a noble house. And if that's what my parents wanted - and I even thought naturally.

But it stopped coming true, too. My parents also abandoned me.

As a result, the elepi - grew.

He declared himself to be an actor he secretly admired and joined the troupe with momentum. But they didn't say anything about it either.

He said he didn't leave the house.

It's not a modern Japan that makes it easy to run away from home, and it's not that easy to leave home. They used to arch on the street or something.

Well, then, it's a change of heart, a sense of distance from my family, a loss to my sister..., seven years after the blessing, and a lot of things happened...

"... it was a long time ago, when I was a kid. I can't believe you're still freaking out. My sister may resent me..."

"As I was saying, you had a little talk, but you have a sister."

"... yeah. My sister, who carries the expectations of her parents on my behalf. I'm only 12, but I'm always like, 'I'm just playing with my sister and I'm cheating! I'm being scolded."

"You're so firm."

"... yes. I guess I had to be firm rather than... My parents, a system with high expectations"

Elepi's sister was awarded the rare vocation of "secretary" and said she works in the bureau. Well, naturally, as a "apprentice" when it comes to working - so I'm guessing on the payroll -

"... because I turned out to be just a snake. When the play comes out, I earn a little, but when I don't, it's really just a cereal crush"

"I mean, actors. You mean Neat sometimes? Feels a little intimate"

"... What's Neat?

"I forgot the strict definition, but simply put, a young man who doesn't have a job, doesn't have an education, doesn't become a disciple... or something"

"... then, it"

"Oh well. Because I was like Neat, too. I'm still working. My parents used to tell me to work. I'm sorry."

"Hmm?... Oh, I'm fine. Relationships with parents, they're not that bad anymore. Sometimes they tell me to work and put money in the house."

So, a sign of loneliness, pointing to the side of an elepi smiling thinly.

Not so (...) bad, I guess that means not so good either.

I guess the decisive groove means it's not buried......

Elepi squeals, not in the wind of letting anyone listen.

"... just one. I just can't get my emotions right in front of my parents anymore. This is all I can do, no matter how much I practice acting... I really can't..."

Always a faceless elepi.

When I'm talking to Marina, she looks so expressive, and when she's acting, it's like someone else, but only in front of her parents, she can't do it well.

And "salvation is that my parents have never been here to watch a gig," he smiled with a giggle of giving up.

"Speaking of which, do parents give you about a penny?

I cut out to change the subject.

I also felt like I was subtly failing, but Elepi blew out a puff, subtly pointing my lips and squeaking like it was hard to say.

"... Sometimes, yes, my sister gets it..."

Well, that happens, too!

We had a laugh.

But I didn't know I'd tip my 12-year-old sister......

Maybe Elepi is a kid who feels worse than I thought.

◇ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◇

The next day, I was in the flea market.

Unlike the market, Eliche's flea market is a regular event in which citizens sell ancient tools and other unwanted items, so excavations are likely to be found.

Flea markets need to be visited first thing in the morning.

Even if there are excavations, other vendors naturally come after them. So, is it weird that you make money off your feet - anyway, you just have to find it first and buy it.

I get up early only one day at the flea market, too, for basic catfish.

At 7: 00, you'll arrive at the scene and be the first to check the shopkeeper who prepares the merchandise while you activate.

Deanna, who has a weak morning, doesn't wake up, so the only offering is basically Marina.

Around noon, I'll go back to the mansion once I've packed and lunched.

"How could you not wake me up! You said I was going too this time!

"Oh, princess! It was a bummer in the morning and I completely forgot. Next time it's time to remember!

"Holy shit, this! Marina asshole!

There is an exchange, but does that matter?

There was a young man pulling his luggage and bringing the product into the venue, so I'll go check it out quickly.

It won't be the same here or there, but building a flea market booth is simple. Basically, I end up lining up the products I brought on top of the rug. Ask the store owner for the price! Because of the style, you don't even need a price tag.

In fact, the products lined up right away.

"Good morning. May I have a quick look? Kind of a lot of things that seem unusual!

"Ah, good morning. Hey, my temple is dead, and I'm sorting out the artifact, but I don't know what I like about it. You're in trouble for leaving all this crap behind. I wish you'd left me with the money."

I see. This is lucky.

It's the best (...) pattern.

The favorite old man dies and a completely uninterested scum sells off.

When you get into this golden pattern (...), there are things that can't even be measured by the person buying them.

I once purchased a wonderful collection of finely crafted Japanese poles in my neighborhood's Frima.

Apparently, the shopkeeper (my daughter and Aunt Thought) only thought it was a dirty pole. Oh, my God, they were releasing it for 1,000 yen a bottle.

Nor did I have any knowledge of Japanese poles, but I saw that it would still be about 5,000 yen a bottle.

I saw it, but - what a value of 47,000 yen it actually cost the most. Even the cheapest ones cost 8,000 yen.

So it was a mountain of treasure.

The fact that it came with that value in Ok probably meant that the pricing was at least about double that.

I don't know the details - to see the bidder's questions, the bidder's comments, etc. - but they were mostly at the hands of famous writers.

A series of my listings at that time became a bit of a topic among Japanese pole enthusiasts on the internet - or something.

gossip.

I mean, the more that can normally happen, the flea market has the potential to find a single big dig.

The products arranged by the youth are checked as they are secretly appraised in the "mirror of truth".

Pottery plates that are simply being redesigned, silver frog figurines, sword sheaths with beautiful decorations but no key contents, stones visible in a person's face, collections of empty bottles, surfaces made of shredded wood......

Unfortunately, they all seemed to be compatible. I liked the sheath and the surface, so I thought I could buy it.

For the purpose of serving it to Oku in Japan, both frogs and empty bottles will sell well, but there is a physical problem that you can't hold it if you buy so many.

"Oh, and there was this one more. This is a little unusual."

It was a familiar scroll somewhere that the youth took out of the bag, in the way that I just remembered.

A scroll (scroll) made of soaked parchment paper, as seen in the game.

"It's a weird scroll. The contents are maps, but when the contents written inside are pressed with a finger, it switches. It's like a letter. What do you say? It's rare."

"Heh. You're definitely involved"

Pretending to be purely surprised, I was wondering how I'd get this.

Maybe, no, maybe not, definitely in the "Quest Purchase Order" that Efta showed me a long time ago.

It's the same thing he got from the mayor when he gambled Deanna.

Open and confirm today, but like the touch panel, the screen? It's a magical map that switches information when you press. The letters are better, I give up because I can't read them.

Well, either way, you should check the contents later.

As a result of the negotiations, I was able to buy three sheaths, noodles and rolls for three silver coins. Naturally, the youth didn't know the market for magical maps or anything.

The market for magical maps is only 20 gold coins (if you believe in Efta). If so, it could have been bought for roughly one-hundredth of the price.

This is why I can't stop walking around the flea market. Gufff......

I checked later and here's what the scroll was all about

'I want you to get me some magical fruit to cure my grandmother's illness. It seems the fruit is native to the hills near the northern forest......'

Oh, that? Wow, I don't have much information.

I felt like if you showed me Efta's before, it would even have written some pretty detailed information (like rewards)......

Well, should I check with the "Mirror of Truth"?

Deliver to the girl the fruit that will help her mother's illness.

Rumor has it that magical fruit is a monster's favorite.

――――――――――――――――――――――

Difficulty D...

But the guy Efta showed me before was also Difficult D.

That, crusade the Goblin Mother behind the pit! So it was the one, but you mean the same difficulty?

When it comes to the D-rank, it doesn't seem that hard... but it might be subtle because I don't know where the bottom is...

Hopefully D at the bottom......, what if E at the bottom? What if there was an F further down?

If the minimum difficulty was F, the difficulty D would not be as easy as the image.

Well, I'm dying. At your leisure.

Batting with a monster who came to eat fruit, I become a fruit myself.

Furthermore, there is no possibility that A is the easiest, Z is the maximum difficulty - …

If you want to take a safety pie, it is easier to sell this map to Efta for 20 gold coins.

Twenty gold coins is a lot of money.

If you convert it to Japanese yen, it's 3 million yen. If it's an emers palette, I might be able to live for a few years if I suck. You can get the Knights gear, and you can buy horses.

Because maybe you have a choice to buy another slave (though that would be just not enough to buy a slave).

I don't know the quest reward, and I'm sure it would be more advantageous that way in terms of money.

But I didn't want to cut that pie.

Because I want to try!

I want to do a quest!

The problem with gold is second to none. Anyway, if you're having trouble living, you can afford it, and you want to take it because it's a quest.

Next thing you know, I don't plan on getting a magic map, because this time I was just super lucky enough to get one...

Even if the monster came out, if Mr. Rebecca or Mr. Sherrow were there, you'd figure it out, I'm sure, maybe.

Well, the problem is - I don't know where the fruit is, and I don't know if what is said to be a 1000 year old map even works in modern times, more importantly, that the girl who gives the fruit seems already dead...

It's normally packed, but, well, you could try it.

If you get just magic fruit, you can sell it to Efta, and if you can't complete your quest, you can sell the map to Efta.

That way, you can also achieve the "Let's do business with your business" guide that you have been releasing for a long time, and it's a good deal either way.

With that in mind, look at the magical map.

The topography on the map was very similar to the area around my mansion.
