"We're here! This is the port town of Omitsu!

When I reach the town, I see relief when Lucky finally arrives.

But you can't do it if you feel safe here.

"Don't be alarmed. You're being targeted, so go into your uncle's mansion and relax until you're safe."

"Ugh, um. Right..."

When pointed out to me, fortunate is visibly shombolished.

I hope Gyro is as honest as this.

"Mr. Tsubaki, why don't you give me a little more credit?

And, for some reason, Goven turns his sympathy to you.

What, a sense of union between men or something?

"And, whatever, I'm glad we made it to town safely. Let's continue our journey under the lord."

In the same vein, Tsingshen proposes to go to Lord Pan's mansion while following Yuki.

"Right. What's a lord at the place?

"Ugh, um! A clan lord is someone who has been entrusted by the general to rule the clan!

"Clan?"

"I'm talking about the Lord's land in your country."

It is the Goven who softly pounds his ear.

Surprisingly convenient.

"Then it's boiling! Follow me!

We are led by a strangely tenacious fortune and head to the Lord's mansion.

Well, even from here, I can see a big building that I can clearly tell from the lord's mansion, so I don't even seem to need you to bother giving me a guide.

"It's pretty big coming up close."

"That's what I'll do."

Coming to the front of the lord's mansion, we were overwhelmed by the unexpected size of the mansion.

Because the lord's mansion was bigger than the vertical size, and the horizontal size was out of step.

The fence surrounding the mansion is about the size of a little village and tells me that the mansion's grounds are considerable.

From a distance, you didn't know the size of the grounds because the surrounding buildings were walled.

"What can I do for you guys?!?"

And I raise my voice to guard us, the unfamiliar people who guarded the entrance to the mansion.

"This is Mitsuya's mansion. If you don't want to be suspected, leave early!

Hmm, naturally, but you'll see better that you're not welcome.

Then Mr. Tsingshen goes under the gatekeeper and shows him something sneaky.

Then the gatekeeper's face turns sooo bright blue.

"... this is!? Excuse me! I'll open the gate in a minute.

Where was the alert until just now?

It's as if the owner of the mansion had arrived.

"Please come in"

"Uhm."

Yuki replies to Eagle Deep and enters the premises, not to mention taking it for granted.

Having seen it through, I bid him farewell.

Then that's all we have to do.

"Hmm? What does that mean, it's Mina?

But fortunately, she leans her neck unaware of this intention.

"You're right. My job is to escort you to your uncle's mansion. That's why I'm done here."

Yes, my request is to send Yuki to my uncle's mansion in the town of Mitsu.

I don't take any more work. I don't want to be involved in nobility any more.

"Yes, no, I sure do...... well, yes! Don't you have to pay me a thank you!

"Then we'll replace it."

and one of the gatekeepers runs to the stuffing that was built inside the gate.

"Oh, wait! Don't wait!

"Are you sure you want to do this?

A gatekeeper returning soon offers Tsingchen a bag that would contain money.

And I checked the contents. Tsingchen nodded that there was no problem.

"Hmm, let's just say the benefactor who protected the young man deserves it. Lord Mina, pick it up."

I received the bag from Mr. Tsingsen. I'll check the contents.

I expected it, but I knew it was a currency I'd never seen before.

"One bag is enough to allow civilians to live without work for six months."

Tsingshen told me about the amount, worried about what was going on because he didn't know the value of the money.

About six months.

Shall I check it against the price of the town at a later time?

"Bye, Takashi."

"Ah, ah..."

We followed the mansion with a strange showdown on our backs.

"Well, let's say we take the inn first"

After the mansion, we decided to look for a base accommodation first.

It's time for the sun to lean in, and I just need to get a room.

It was then.

I thought there was a scream coming from the back of the boulevard, and the street got strangely noisy.

"Is this...?

People push at me like I'm running away from something.

"Bandits! Somebody get me!

Looks like there's a thief out there.

How many daring people were there at dusk?

"Out of the way, out of the way!

"If you don't want to get hurt, soak up!

The number of bandits is surprisingly high, close to ten.

It feels like a little bandit gang coming this far.

Besides, by subtly scattering and running down the street, you're pretty strong around acting like you can't get a grip with magic or arrows.

"But, well, to that extent, it's an error."

I stand deliberately in front of the bandits.

"Out of the way, daughter!

The leading bandits go in with their weapons to cut me off without hesitation.

"But, Hate, I don't want to do it properly. Stanmist!"

The magic is activated and the fog surrounds the bandits.

"Magic!?"

"It's a sight to behold! Run straight and you'll be right out!

"It's not just a blind eye. Blow it up."

Moment after moment, the fog unleashed thunder.

"" "" Gwaaaa!! "" "

Suddenly struck by a direct thunder, the bandits fall without one.

"Gahoo......"

"Well, it looks like you were the ones who didn't get hurt."

Lex direct lightning system captive magic stun mist. The magic of locking enemies in lightning-generating fog and powerless them by shocking them while depriving them of their sight.

Unlike dodgable bows and projectile magic, this magic is difficult to dodge because it spreads around and encapsulates enemies.

"Shh, wow... I only defeated the bandits without involving the residents of the town..."

Yes, Goven is right, this magic is free to change shape, so you can attack to keep the town's inhabitants out of it.

And the fog-swallowed enemy is dimensioned to take a direct hit of thunder that strikes from all directions like a prey digested in the snake's stomach.

Mm-hmm. And it's quite the magic.

Because it's fog, as long as there's a gap, you can break into the house, and the timing of electric shock can be adjusted here, right?

But, well, I think I've been getting too much firepower lately, so I'd appreciate this kind of minuscule magic.

"Rex's husband was also quite good, but he also demonstrates a ton of strength..."

I'm no big deal compared to Rex.

Anyway, when Rex used the same magic, he created a size fog that wrapped one part of the town.

I didn't realize how much magic that size fog would drain.

"Thank you very much!! Thanks for your help!

The people in the store who came after the bandits thank me for taking down the bandits.

And as soon as I take back the stolen goods, I tie the bandits up with the rope I finally brought with me and take them somewhere.

Probably turn it over to an official.

Hmm? Hand it over to an official? I think I forgot something...

I don't know. It's not a big deal if you've forgotten.

"Never mind. 'Cause I just happened to want to come through."

It's a coincidence.

"No, thanks to you, I didn't have to take away an important new product. Let me thank you. Otherwise, we'll be scolded by the Big Master."

But the shopkeeper kept his head down that he wanted to thank me at all costs.

"If that's what you're saying..."

"Thank you!

It feels kind of weird to be thanked for saying thank you.

"Please, our store is right over there"

As soon as I followed the shopkeeper, I saw the store thinking he had been attacked by bandits.

"Heh, that's pretty big."

Yeah, it's actually big. This store.

Looks like it was a pretty big store.

"Is that it? Isn't that the branch of Echigoya? Here?

and there Goven looked at the name of the store and raised his voice.

"You know what?

"Heh. It's the biggest merchant in the East. Merchants from outside are always famous enough to do business with Yokoya once."

Heh, you were actually quite a celebrity, no, a famous store.

"Ha ha, the East Country One is too much to say. And of course, we're working together to do that."

But the people at the store are humble that that is not the case.

"Again, my name is Tatsuyoshi and I am assigned to the Omitsu branch of Echikaya"

The person in the store named Tatsuyoshi bows his head deeply.

I mean, he's been entrusted with the shop, which means this guy is the branch manager!? He's not a big shot!?

"Uh, it's Mina"

"I'm gobbling. Come on."

"... Mina, and you're Goven"

Hmm? Something strangely staring at me...?

Could it bother you because I'm too pretty a girl?... Yeah, I said something stupid.

"Still, you're selling all sorts of things"

I look around the store like I shake off my stupid thoughts.

"We pride ourselves on our variety."

"Heh."

I don't suppose it's a specialty shop, but a delightful shop.

I mean, you don't know what Eastern goods are.

"Oh yes! corner, so let's give you our new product as a thank you!

Tatsuyoshi said that because I looked at the store with interest.

"New product?

"Yes, I have a handout from my big husband in the main shop, made by a handyman from an exotic country."

Heh, foreign people.

"Exotic? Could that mean people from a continent like ours?

"Yeah, its so great, it arrives in our store and is instantly very popular! Well, because of the rumors I heard, all the villains were targeted."

"Oh, those guys from earlier."

"Embarrassing"

Hmm, I see. A popular product purchased from a country outside would be a good price if sold in an approximate town.

Does that mean those bandits decided it was worth the risk?

Even commonplace products can make a lot of money selling in foreign countries.

Could it have been demand and supply?

"Whatever, I'm confident in quality, check it out"

"Well, let me show you."

Why don't you let me see?

Even if it's from the same continent, if the country is different, it might be beneficial to me.

"Yes! Here are some of our new products"

"You got a lot going on."

I dare say that many of the normal outlets and the items that have been removed are precious new products that I have here.

"Yeah, this is a fancy recovery pill. It's not only a fairly deep wound, but it's also effective enough to heal decades old wounds."

"What!? That's not awesome!?"

When it comes to potions, it is common sense that the wounds that have passed a long time will never heal again.

Nonetheless, if it's cured just by taking a pill, it's more of a magic world than a potion anymore.

If I told you, I would drink magic props.

"That's not all. What a universal poison that this antidote works against any poison! With one of these, you don't need to have any antidotes!

"Hmm?"

Sounds familiar.

"What's wrong?

"Yes, no. So what are the other products?

"Yes, this fertilizer is an amazing fertilizer that yields crops at an incredible rate of speed when scattered over a field. Besides, crops that can be harvested grow a few times the size of their original crops!

"I remember hearing it somewhere..."

I don't know why, but I think I do. Maybe you heard someone talking to you?

I guess I'll ask someone later.

"Plus this one is shielded to armor with dragon scales! We freely process hard dragon materials as if we were processing iron! Thanks to this, it is extraordinarily easier to move than just sticking the scales to the protective gear!

"Dragon protective equipment…"

I don't know, something in my heart sounds so alarming...?

"And this is the highlight of this one! This is an authentic modern demon sword created by craftsmen, not excavated in ruins! What a great craftsman not only to be a pharmacist, but also to be a blacksmith! I have a long business with this too, but this is the first blacksmith etc. who can make magic props! Of course, the performance of the Devil's Sword is real! When I tried it out, the rock broke in two! I couldn't believe it myself!

"What do you say? Wouldn't that be a bunch of great stuff!? Honestly that's what thieves say they can't help but target!

"Oh, yeah, right..."

"... this is definitely from Rex."

Obviously unusual, then a number of performance items I've heard of somewhere.

Besides, if I heard that was at the hands of just one artisan, it would have been more obvious than that artisan seeing fire.
