Ryuugoroshi no Sugosuhibi

The golden technique of starting without a hand

"There's a martial arts tournament here."

"There's someone out there who looks like a participant, and I'm sure he does."

Yusuke and Wiale are walking around the city looking for accommodation. As Yusuke said, the tournament participants are visible everywhere.

Yusuke looks around saying that Bordos might be there too, but because there are so many people, he immediately stopped looking for them to see if he could find them. The Bordos haven't even arrived yet, so there's no way they'll find us.

"Mr. Koske doesn't take part."

"Do you think I will?

Wiale remembers what has happened before,

"You won't."

"Exactly."

I assured them both.

"I started wondering if I could fight the demons, but the human opponents are different again. I don't want to kill you badly."

I remember pushing Bordos into serious injury. Bordos is sturdy, so he stops with serious injuries, but if he's an adventurer or a fighter there, he could kill him. Even now that my perception of killing has changed, I still see killing as contraindicated.

It's a matter of just having to cut back, but I'm not used to cutting back on it, and it can't happen by accident.

"I can't believe I killed you."

"No, no, no. It's not sprinkling, so this power."

"I know it's powerful, but you don't know how amazing it actually is, do you?"

I have not accompanied a request with a battle, so it is not impossible for Wiale not to know.

Considering that it is only an extra favor to encourage people around to participate even though they are not willing to do so in person, Wiale stops the topic from continuing.

The two walk in a relaxing tourist mood looking for souvenirs to hang out with and to buy snacks at an outdoor store.

In addition to food and souvenirs, stores and dewstores are also intended for those fighting under the influence of the Games. Battle essentials such as maintenance supplies and wound medicines for weapons and tools are lining up everywhere, with adventurers stopping and peeking into their feet.

Yusuke also seemed a little interested, sometimes stopping to see her legs. I was wondering if I could buy something to replace the sword I'm using now.

"Oh, that might be good"

Seeing what has come into his eyes with several peeks, Kosuke is stimulated by his desire to buy. That is not a sword.

"Anything good?

"Yeah. I found something that looked like a throwing knife"

Yusuke walks to one of the dewstores a few meters away.

I was interested in the throwing knife because the fact that the magic didn't make it in battle with the Regiment Eagle caught a little on my mind. If there was a throwing knife on that spot, would the interception have been in time, not so. I know that too, Kosuke. I'm wondering if it's important to retain some means of attack.

"There you are."

"Is this a throwing knife?

"There is. Do you want to take it?

My husband hands a knife to Kosuke.

A thin double-edged knife with a length of fifteen centimeters and a width of just over two centimeters. It seems difficult to use for food preparation, it's made for battle purposes.

The weight is lighter than carrots. You'll need to hit a steep spot to deal effective damage.

"How good is this? Do you mind if I treat you rough?

"Isn't this the kind of thing you use to be rough?

"Oh, maybe so."

"Well, yeah, I guess I can take a little care of it every time I use it and use it five times.

Of course, it deteriorates every time you use it. If you hit something hard, it degrades fast.

Qualitatively, it's normal. "

"Hmm...... can I get about six?

"Aye. Do you have the holder? If not, I'll keep it cheap, okay?

"Please"

"Is there a belt for attachment and an inner pocket for that jacket and an arm?

"For wearing belts, I guess."

I'm getting used to it, so I can wear it anywhere I want. Specify the belt that I thought was somewhat easy to use.

"Aye! Four silver coins in total."

"Surprisingly cheap?

"That's how much it's priced, huh?

"From me, it feels expensive."

I guess Kosuke still doesn't have a well-fixed sense of money. And then is it because I have gold coins in my hand now? There are about two hundred pieces converted into silver coins. I feel less of it because I just give out four of them.

Receive a holder that can hold ten knives and secure them to the belt. I leave the place thanking my husband as he contemplates practicing in the Inn garden.

I'm hungry so I buy ice candy and look for an inn while I eat. Yusuke has an apple flavour, and Wiale has a sharp twist on the orange flavour. The money was given by Kosuke. I am happy to manage the money because we act together anyway.

Wiale thinks she's going to accidentally drop it when she has her wallet. Being aware of this doesn't cure accidents, so it's safer to leave it to others.

Sometimes Yusuke's arm moves unexpectedly as he walks. Wiale doesn't care much after she's convinced once she asks what's wrong.

And my arm moves again.

"Again?"

"Again. I'm surprised you look around, so I guess you look like a country guy with gaps"

"You were right to leave the management of the money to Mr. Koske."

Yusuke was stopping Suri from reaching for his nostalgia. Four sleds were approaching to see how unreliable Yusuke seemed. At the very least, they were injured by the stroke of their arms, terrible and crackling in their bones.

After these four people, Yusuke didn't look the way he did, and the sleighs who watched from a remote position learned and stopped coming close.

"I'm out of sight"

"Have you ever been seen?

"Yeah. There were a lot of people and I just kind of figured it out.

I wonder if this city is safe. "

"Hmm... I think that would be nice, right?

It's bigger and more lively than Bellassen, so I think there's gonna be some noise. "

Yusuke's security standards are in Japan, so it becomes a really dry assessment.

Weare bumps into a man who rushes out of the alley as he walks by the narrow road into the alley talking about this.

I heard something crack in Kosuke's ear supporting Wiale, who was about to fall.

"Wiale, are you okay?

"I'm fine, but it looks like something broke that guy had"

"I don't think Wiale cares. He said if he came out of nowhere, most people would bump into him."

A man in his late thirties or so, staring at a box that seemed to contain cracks, looks up and grabs him by Wiale.

"Danger."

"Yikes!?

Wiale leaked a small scream at the sudden forced movement. Yusuke grabbed both shoulders of Weale and lifted them, shifting them away from the direction the man was traveling.

"Beh payback! Compensate!"

The man dyes his face red and yells at both of them.

"It's bad for you to say repayment. Just check the front and walk."

"Oh, I don't care about that! Compensate!"

"That's not you."

A man makes a scene and attracts the attention of his surroundings. Heard the noise, or a soldier walking nearby comes over.

"What's up? What's going on?"

"My stuff broke because of these guys bumping into me! And yet I'm not trying to make amends by arranging excuses!

Before Yusuke says anything, the man strongly tells them that Yusuke is bad on the one hand. The soldier lags behind, pushed by the force of a man who comes close to momentum.

"Oh, really? You guys?

"No. I did bump into him, but by chance. How are you going to get hit by the invisible beyond the bend?

Somebody's got to have a witness, so you know it's not a rush. "

The soldier, who nodded at the words of flashy Yusuke, calls upon the people around him. Meanwhile, the man is still making noise that it's a payoff. The condition is so desperate that both Yusuke and his surroundings have to lean their necks.

I suspected that Yusuke was an insider, but I changed my mind after seeing how this was going. I'm not willing to make amends.

No time has passed since the time of the bump, so the eyewitness testimony gathered immediately.

The soldier decides it was a coincidence that he was bumped from the testimony.

"It doesn't look bad either. It was an accident. I don't think I need to make amends..."

Bad tooth cut. Because a man is still making a scene.

"How expensive was it?

"Maybe it was important, wasn't it?

The soldiers nod wondering if there is any chance of that in Wiale's words.

"If so, maybe I need to reimburse you for a little bit.

In the meantime, I'm going to get an appraiser.

Can you guys wait here?

The soldiers thanked the two who nodded and left to bring the appraiser.

The man who kept making noise is quiet now, but he keeps bumping and whining and he doesn't seem normal.

About fifteen minutes later, the soldiers brought back a man about forty years old. I guess this man is the appraiser.

"Excuse me for a moment, please."

The appraiser, who refused, opens the box and checks the contents. What was inside were three pairs of teacups. Not a single thing is safe, and pale red fragments are scattered throughout the box.

"What do you say, something worth it?

The soldier speaks up when he sees that he's finished his appraisal.

"Right. It's not cheap.

The author is Granu Mischer, a craftsman who lived about a hundred years ago now. Must be definitely in his work when he was younger.

It's not in bad condition, so if it's not broken, it's a lot of money. "

"You mean quite?

"I would give you twenty silver coins. Others may offer twenty-five silver coins."

"It's expensive for a teacup."

The soldiers nod that they were convinced that the man had made a scene.

Almost at the same time as the soldier snorted, a man loudly denied the appraisal results.

"It's a lie! It should be higher!

"Lies. I'm still a pro who's been appraising this for over twenty years, right?

"Because this is what my father bought out of three gold coins!

My father told me it was part of Granu Mischer's Trump series!

"Ha."

The appraiser laughed with his nose at the man's claim.

"This is the Trump Series? Don't be silly.

Indeed, this is similar to the Trump series. But there's a decisive difference just because it's similar.

The Trump Series features either clubs, hearts, spades or diamonds on the bottom of the cup "

"Even this was painted on the bottom!

"Even with the bottom, it's the outside bottom, isn't it? The real thing is painted on the inside bottom.

This is probably the predecessor of the Trump series. There are many things like this, and they're not that valuable. I have about ten of the same things in my shop. There's only one real thing.

There's no way I can go wrong watching the real thing and the prototype. "

"Oh, no."

The man shocked by the appraiser's assertion sits on the spot as he appears to have lost his strength from his body.

"I'm leaving now."

"Good luck"

Thanks to the soldiers, the appraiser went back to his shop.

"I'm going back to security, too.

You guys should be free to decide what to do after this. I don't think we're gonna have a problem paying half the price, though, do we?

"Thank you for your help"

Wiale bows her head deeply, and Kosuke gently salutes her.

The soldiers leave, and the noise leaves those who were gathered together for a paragraph with this.

Ten silver coins, then.

Seeing as the man was depressed, Yusuke, who was unwilling to make amends, took the money out of his wallet with pity and let it grip firmly in the hand of the man who sat down.

Ten pieces of silver would not hurt my nostrils, so I could easily give them to you.

Seeing the silver coin in his hand, the man becomes a crying face.

"This isn't enough!

Kosuke is irritated by the words he returned by giving him money he didn't have to pay.

"How greedy, you are! I'm not going to give you another sentence!

Let's go, Weare. "

"Wait a minute."

Making the conversation rough, Kosuke calls on Wiale, but Wiale pushes Kosuke.

"Maybe there's a situation where you need money?

Wiale thought so because she knows an atmosphere similar to that of a man. Not now, but back in the day, orphanage life was critical, and orphanage management happened to suffer when there were unplanned expenses. That's when the atmosphere is a little bit similar to that of the grown-ups who were going to borrow money. That's why I thought there might be circumstances.

I don't think I can get the money I need to hear what's going on. Wiale doesn't have the money herself in the first place. But I called out thinking that I could help a little.

"It may not be something you can tell such a doomed person, but there may be a few things you can do to help, right?

You figured out that Weale was sincerely saying it without a heart, and the man opens his mouth with a blur.

"... five days ago the child went missing and there is a threatening sentence to have ten flashes ready by the day after tomorrow if you want them back three days ago.

I managed to prepare five flash coins by running around, debt, etc. And then I'm gonna sell my stuff, and I'm gonna get a little more money, and then I'm gonna give you a break. "

"That's why you were so desperate"

Kosuke is also convinced that if the child's life is at stake, he will be desperate, erasing the anger he was feeling at the man.

"Didn't you consult a soldier or ask the guild to retrieve the search?

"I got it out, I got it out! But the soldiers and the guild just listened, and they said they were busy and they didn't fit in!

"Regardless of the soldier, the guild won't fit in..."

Wiale worked for the guild, so you better know what's going on inside. Yusuke wonders if that Wiale leaning her neck has even occurred to her under special circumstances. I don't care if you put it in my mouth because I thought it was going to stir up a man's anxiety and cautious.

"Normally I accept requests for killings, except for things like that."

"Now that the martial arts tournament is close, isn't that possible?

"I don't think there's anything I don't deal with because I'm busy.

Hey, Mr. Koske, how can you help me?

Keita and Kosuke muttered in their hearts. I was expecting Weare to propose this. And I know I can't turn it down if it's suggested. Even as Kosuke, I think it's pathetic about the child. But I wasn't actively trying to help.

I made an immediate move to help the kids when Weare asked me before, but this time the move is dull. The difference between the two is whether you are close or not to your client. Kosuke is not outrageous, but he is not unmatched. Even if strangers are in trouble, they can abandon them.

If Weale didn't suggest it here, I'd make an excuse that she wasn't willing to help either, but I knew the chances were low that Weale, with the little one in her body, wouldn't mention it.

"Speaking of power, putting out all our property won't get you the amount you need at all.

Besides, what are you going to do about your future journey?

"Bye! If you ask for a favor in your guild! Mr. Koske won't be long."

"Wiale knows better if you can ask for such a large sum from the beginning."

Yusuke's strength would certainly enable him to accomplish his expensive requests. But there's no track record at all in this city's guild. Even if you try to make a request, it falls to be stopped. It is easy to predict that the deadline has passed while making expensive requests, as I was making results two days after the deadline.

"Uh, what else... can't you think of an uncle?

Wiale asks the man who was looking at the man and woman who suddenly said they wanted to help out in front of him with a pokant look.

"Why are you talking like that? We just met, and I made you uncomfortable."

"You're right, but it's not people's business to know about your kids."

There was just a little feeling that I didn't want to be involved, and this word hurt for Kosuke.

"Thank you. That word is enough.

I'm sorry you made a scene earlier. I'll take care of myself.

Thank you so much. "

Wiale, who sees a man trying to walk away saying so, has an unfortunate look on his face.

Saw it. Kosuke exhales one sigh and stops the man. Sometimes I want to cool off in front of a pretty girl.

"Old man. Two more than one, three more than two. Something might come to mind.

So why don't you come up with a gold collection together, or a way to get your kid back?

In the words of Yusuke, the expression of Wiale, who was sinking, turns into something much brighter.

"Yes, but not annoying."

"I don't care because this one wants to help me on my own.

And it wasn't always decided I could help. "

The man moistened his eyes and bowed his head deeply.

A man named Gudanal takes you, and the two walk out. The destination is a shop run by Gdanal. The store doesn't belong to Gdanal himself, it's borrowed, so I can't sell it and make it money. If I could have done that, I would have managed to have ten flashes available.

Open a billed door that says closing date, and the three enter the store. Built by a combination of shops and residences, the area where the product is located is not that large. It would be octatami. and proceeded to the back of the store as a cordless and small household items were placed.

The two people who were put through the living room sit on the couch and watch Douglas make tea using high tea leaves among the sales.

"Go ahead."

Have a word of thanks and get right to the point.

"I ask you again, do you know how money can be made quickly?

"No, if I knew, I'd try.

Gambling if you dare. "

"Aren't you a bad gambler when you're stuck in your feathers?

"Yeah, I think so too, so I'm making it a last resort"

There's only one way to make sure you make money from gambling, but the three of you don't want to think about it for their own reasons.

Gambling, which is guaranteed to earn money, is a force test that is made to qualify for a militant tournament. There is a bet to predict the outcome. The test of strength is impossible for a runaway adventurer, but if you are lucky enough, you can definitely break the test of strength. Therefore, if you bet on Yusuke's breakthrough, you can make sure you earn money.

Yusuke and Wiale do not know that such gambling is taking place. Gudanal doesn't know about those gambling events. But I don't think Kosuke can break through, and I exclude the bet.

"Why don't you do something you couldn't possibly have done or something, not gamble?

"Even if they say so."

I guess I won't be able to think of it right away, tilting my neck and thinking about it.

"In the meantime, if there's a way to make money that you can do anything in a short time, just say it.

Maybe there's something we can do. "

"Something that's going to be done in a short time......

Winner of a militant tournament. This is after the specified deadline. Gambling. This, as I said, is a last resort. Dig in the nearby meadows and find the ore. Yeah, it's not buried that way, and it takes time to dig. New debt in the name of both of us. I just can't bother you like that. Develop even new products and sell the idea. I won't struggle if I think about it easily... "

Gudanal drools his thoughts as he struggles.

Kosuke reacts with the new product part. I didn't think I could sell something on Earth as a product idea. And I wonder if there are any good items.

The first thing I came up with was a car. Faster than a carriage, a bus can carry a lot of people, and a truck can carry a lot of goods. This is not the case. I don't know how to make it. I don't even see the ingredients. Give me the idea and I'll use magic and I'll likely recreate something similar one day, but it doesn't lead to profit right now.

Next bike. This, like a car, does not immediately lead to profit. For what I know about the parts that make up the bike, it will be completed faster than the car, but still won't meet the specified deadline.

Here Kosuke tries to stop the complicated mechanism stuff and remember the easier stuff.

Reminds me of Ride Hero related things, the story is not going to be for sale, I decide to ask Wiale and Gudanal, who are trying to figure out how to make money.

"Sell the story, is it?

I think it depends on what the story says, but maybe I can.

But there's one problem. "

Kosuke and Wiale, who did not understand the problem, urge Gudanal to follow.

"How to sell it.

I don't have a twat. What about you two?

"Tute? We just got here and we don't even know each other.

Or you don't have to rely on Tute to take it yourself, do you? Waiting to bring it in. Not close to a publisher or anything?

Yusuke and Gudanal's way of selling their thoughtful stories is not together.

As a thought, Yusuke brought it to the publisher and borrowed it for profit.

When it comes to Gdanal, it's about transferring the story itself to someone and receiving some of the benefits that will come out in the future.

Gudanal, this resident, is more right about how to sell stories in this world.

There are no publishers in this world. Books are made by organizations or individuals designated by the state. A nationally designated organization may be considered a publisher, but there is no point in waiting for a writer at any time. If the paper gets cheaper, private publishers might be able to do it too.

Come up with a story, if you want to sell it, make a book personally, have it taken to a bookstore, and wait for your reputation to spread with reviews. Or take it to a troupe or a journey, have it played, and get some of the profit.

When the reputation of a story you make spreads, you may be invited by a nationally designated organization. If you nod at the invitation, you get that amount as an advance, and you get money for the next few years. Anyone who has ever been invited will be able to take the stories he has made directly to a nationally designated organization.

For Yusuke and the others to sell the story to someone, the buyer has to decide that there will be future profits. Such predictions are not easy to make, and finding a buyer would make it difficult to negotiate.

Hearing that there is no publisher, and recognizing the difference between this one and the other, Kosuke also rejects buying and selling the story. I start thinking again about anything else, and now I think about cooking.

I come here and remember what I ate, and I explore from my memory what only Earth had.

And all I could think of was ice cream and burgers.

But the way I made ice cream reminded me of it was a big mess of mixing eggs, milk and sugar while I was chilling, so I decided to dismiss this one.

Hamburgers, on the other hand, are not difficult to make. I think it will be easy to eat and become popular.

"I have a hamburger with a cooking idea."

"Hamburgers...... you've never heard of them. Similar to Hamburg, but what does it have to do with it?

"A little flattened, roasted hamburger sandwiched in bread with chopped onions, pickles, lettuce, cheese and ketchup.

Easy to eat. "

"Ho ho, pinch the hamburger in the bread. It's a simple procedure, but you're a substitute no one could think of. The triumph of ideas."

"Wouldn't this be money?

"I have a cock I know, so it's possible to sell ideas. The first day to a few days sells for rarity, but it's easy to make. That's why people come to imitate. Profits will gradually fall. Based on that, how much do I get as an idea fee..."

Gudanal shrugs in on one person and calculates how much he can sell for.

After about five minutes, the results came out. The sale price that Gudanal offered is that it doesn't reach a single flash coin. What made it a neck was that it was easy to cook. If this was anything at all laborious like ice cream, pudding or spaghetti, it might have meant that you could get more than two flash coins for the idea fee, plus a little bit of profit, considering that it's not easy to imitate.

"Remember to cook a little bit.

It can't be too hard or too easy. What should I do?

I wonder if there's any way you can protect me from imitating what I could easily make. "

"I don't think there's anything convenient like that, is there?

Wiale says with a frightened face.

But Gudanal has something in mind, something to say. It soon becomes a look of giving up though he does.

"Mr. Gudanal, do you have any idea?

"There is, but I don't think so."

"Well, just say it. What I've heard may prompt me to come up with a good idea."

"Did you know that the entertaining god is always looking for new games?

Yusuke shook his neck sideways if he didn't know, and Wiale is convinced that that's what happened.

"He who finds a new play and reports it will be awarded ten rewards with flash coins. Plus continue to give those who come up with the idea five percent of the profits they put out.

These kinds of decisions have been around for a long time.

But no new games have been discovered for a long time. The last time I was recognized was thirty years ago. Seventy years before that.

That's why I gave up on the idea. "

"Anything to play with?

"Yeah, anything from kids' games to gambling"

"I'm going to play as long as I know, so let me know if you don't have anything."

Yusuke talks about the play he did when he was a kid. Starting with Onigoko, I will state as much as I can think of, hide, soccer, baskets, cards, etc., plus Wiale and Gudanal will answer no.

Well, nothing that wasn't mentioned. It all existed just because the names were different.

"I didn't know there were trading card games, wingspans and caedoros"

"Because it is thought to be a lot of things for the prize money"

"I wonder what else happened... what about Othello or something?

"You've never heard the name. What kind of play is that?

"Leaving two white and black pawns in the center with 64 squirrel boards and 64 black and white coin-shaped pawns in play..."

The parts that are difficult to understand in words will be given unwanted paper to draw and explain the diagram.

The look on Gudanal's face becomes brighter when he hears the explanation.

"The rules are simple, but they say deep play. How about this?

"I've never heard of it."

"Me, too. I can do this! So strange that no one has ever thought of it before!

It's a simple rule, so I guess I couldn't come up with it for people who thought too deeply.

Gudanal is ashamed of his joy when he can prepare a ransom. In a corner of my mind, I ignore the thought that I can't be disrespectful to my benefactor, even though I feel suspicious about Yusuke, who has come up with the next idea from next. I do not intend to pursue it in the future.

"Report to Master Kohok as soon as possible."

"How? Is it somewhere to report?

"You can do it on this occasion. Think of the tools and rules you use and pray to Master Kohok. Come on!"

Pray, pray, and Gdanal hurries Yusuke. Keisuke leaned her neck wondering why she was being rushed. It's Gdanal who needs money, so he thinks Gdanal deserves better to pray.

"Who prays but you!? You must be the one who knows the most about Othello, right? I need to send you a detailed image."

"I pray for that reason. Is there something you can do when you pray?

"No, especially."

Yusuke closes his eyes and thinks of Kohok's face, which he just met recently, and gives Othello's report.

In Yusuke's brain, his voice echoes just as it did when he was titled. At the same time I felt like I had been stroked in the head.

'I didn't expect to talk to you again in these ways.

Our prediction was that if we beat the adventurer, we would try a mock match on the condition that we give him the gold coin and put the participation fee in the ransom.

I didn't expect to achieve it in my field. As far as I'm concerned.

Oh, and it was Mithalam who stroked my head. They enjoyed unexpected behavior. I think it will continue at that rate, but I want you to keep moving.

New play Othello. I did receive it.

Goodbye, then. '

As soon as he couldn't hear Kohok, Kosuke opened his eyes when he heard something hard pounding the table.

Kosuke, who had closed his eyes, did not know, but with the soft light, ten flash coins and certification bills appeared on the table.

"Whoa! With this, my kids will be back safely, and I can pay my debts back fine!

Thanks! Thanks!

With the flash coin in his hand, Gudanal bows his head again and again.

"Let's take this to the Merchant Guild later. You'll get regular income."

Gudanal hands over the certification bill to Yusuke.

"Why are you giving it to me? Why don't you keep it that way?

"All I need is flash money. You don't need this one. You shouldn't have it on that. You've come up with what you deserve."

I didn't come up with it, but I get certified bills while I think.

I don't have any problems with money. The cost of living floats, and I thought it might help someday.

It is only after the tourist trip that I receive this money, but Kosuke will be surprised by the amount of money at that time. It was more than I expected. Because this was the only amount I had to work for the rest of my life.

In this later discussion, Yusuke decided to hide Gudanal's escort, who would take the money. Hiding is because only one person was designated to take the ransom. Still, I'm going because I wanted to see it through to the end because I was involved once, and because I thought maybe the killers could just take the money and kill Gudanal.

Two days before the deadline, Kosuke and Wiale were to be allowed to stay in the house as a thank you to Gdanal.

In the past two days, Kosuke had no time to meet Gudanal's wife, who was independently moving to the surface of the money, to go to the merchant guild with Othello's prototype, to practice throwing knives and to try to sightsee.
