Episode 570: Port Cities and Groceries

Follow the guidance of Diego, the beast man you just met earlier through a curved alley.

"... it's faster to get out on the boulevard, but it's a lot worse if you keep these guys in charge of the boulders."

That's what Diego said.

We do have a total of three adventurers on our shoulders who defeated us earlier.

If you leave on a popular boulevard like this, you'll be talking about a sooty kidnapping.

Well, in that case, you can just say you were honestly attacked, so you knocked him down, you're going to intervene at home, but if you say that, that's what's going to take these guys to the official constitution, and we're going to be asked about a lot of things.

That is not a development that we want at all, so it is here and going down the alley that fits the purpose better.

The question is, I don't know where it's going at all, so what is Diego going to do with me being a bad guy and taking me to a buddy, in which case I can't escape?

However, I need to worry more about this.

Because a guy like that who thinks about it wouldn't bother to explain why he chooses the alley for the route.

If that bothers you, I have a way of escape that's hard for normal people to capture, and even in the worst case, maybe I can handle it.

In fact, I think I was right, and I'll walk about half an hour to get to where I want to be.

"... come in"

That's what Diego said when he reached the back door of a stone looking sturdy house.

He cleverly opens the door to grasp it as he takes on two adventurers on his shoulders, if he would let himself in first.

"Oh, I'm sorry... Diego too"

When I went inside and held down the door handle, Diego came inside, too.

Then again Diego moves on through the house.

What struck me was just going through the house, and the pounding light lit up in the dimly lit room?

"... you're using magic tricks in luxury."

When I said that, Diego shook his head to the side,

"Mostly my dad brought it from the labyrinth... thanks to my dad"

That's what I said.

"Heh, your father... is he an adventurer?

"... adventurer, it was, don't mean. And then he did the grocery store... and now I'm the successor."

"... right"

It's a short conversation, but now I somehow know what's going on.

I mean, to say that Diego's father is not already from this world.

I ask.

"Did the gatekeeper say" Marga's Curse Shop "because he's been doing it for two generations?

"That's what I'm talking about. Sometimes I don't exactly decide the name of the store. When my dad was doing it, it was Raul's Curse."

I guess that means Diego's father's name is Raul.

"Why don't you make up your mind about the name of the store? Isn't that inconvenient?"

"Me and my dad are almost close to the road. The main business is the adventurer. If you're a grocery store, well, it's only when you feel like it, or when you get a call that a regular is coming."

"So you can do it?

"I told you. It's easy. Besides... in this city of Lucalis, there's a lot of demand for a curse shop... okay."

With all due respect, apparently we got to the room where we were meant to be.

I'll do the same because Diego dropped the adventurer on his shoulder on the couch that was sitting in the center of the room.

But even the three big, bulky adventurers have taken over the couch, so there's no place for us to sit.

Diego appropriately brought a chair from the area to

"... relax, you can't just sit here for now. I'll bring you some tea now."

"No, it's appropriate and it's all right."

Just sit down, please.

That's what Diego said and walked over to the kitchen.

I feel sorry for being treated politely even though I kind of suddenly pushed him.

Diego didn't have to accept three of these adventurers either.

And then there's me.

You treat me like a person, but isn't Diego the man who feels exactly like that?

But it's true that it helped, well, I want to make sure it doesn't bother me as much as possible...

- Things.

and a cup of hot air was placed on the table.

"Heh, that smells good..."

"I'm not saying it's native to Lucalis... but it's tea from the ship. It tastes good inside."

Ariana does not have much production of agricultural products due to the climate, which is why it is a country where commerce is developed and where trade is frequent.

Naturally, it's hard to grow about tea, and there's nothing that tastes so good when you grow it.

But when I put my mouth on the tea Diego served me, it smelled like it fell out of my nose and tasted clear.

The fact that the ship came seems to be true.

"... my friend has a guy who's elaborate on tea leaves and he can give me a pretty good drink... that tastes comparable. Is that Diego's hobby?

Of course that's about Lorraine.

Diego answers my questions.

"Do I look like I'm in tea restraint?... Well, I'd like to drink something good, if any, to that extent. I got it for a guest."

"Oh, with the regulars I was just saying..."

Does that mean quite a few good customers will come?

Sometimes people bring so many tea leaves.

Lorraine has money so she can buy it, but the average person buys something less grade.

"Yes. Is it any wonder there's such a clientele in a store like this?

"No... I won't say that much, but a little"

He said it was irregular to open the store, and that the main business was separate.

It's rare to be a malt when it comes to a curse shop, but Lucalis seems to have something else, and it doesn't feel like it's really here.

I wondered that.

Diego says about this.

"Well, I used to train in the Temple of Appraisal God. They're treasured because they can do some appraisal on the spell. Lucalis is a big city with few eyewitnesses, but I'm the only one who bothered to train at the Appraisal God to do a curse shop."
