"What a terrible thing!"

Beatrice rage!

"Such an interesting party, why didn't only me take me!"

No, before you debutante ...

"Delicious food! Sweets!"

I'm sorry….

"Generally, what happens to my debutant! Mitsuha takes responsibility and makes it so great that no one can beat it!"

After that, after negotiations with Beatrice, Beatrice's debutant was decided to have an electric parade and a fireworks display. Bet everything you will forget in two years.

And the interrogation time that starts after dinner.

What is that dish? Pia that picture? Where are the strange products sold at the store?

- but it is.

, Excuse time.

That's a daily necessity that my friends in the country worried that I was living in a different country, and sent them privately to the great people by boat. We decided to sell the surplus because it was too large to use up. It seems like friends are making small high-speed ships one after another. They seem to be carrying them secretly at night, yes.

… It ’s painful. Is there any contradiction with the previous story? Well, "I put a little fake to prevent the body barre. Please give me through even if there is a contradiction. "

Pia, through and not too much? Countess Nagareishi, you're a caring person.

What is "Because it is Mitsuha anyway"? Oh, nothing, sorry.

After that, after talking about various things up to now, everyone was ridiculous. An artificial golem soldier? What ’s that? Oh, I said? I don't know. Salt making? This is persistent, Earl. Oh, did you face the territory and the sea? I'll look it up on the net this time.

Wow, Alexis-sama, Mitsuha isn't buzzing more than Adeleto-chan, younger than you, Gefungefun. What are you trying to support, Earl and Iris? Oh, here's a story from Theodore and Beatrice!

I was able to stay because it was too late, yes, I expected. Then drink a glass of wine and have a bang.

The next day, after having breakfast, I came home early. No, I have to open a store. I will not skip for no reason, I am serious.

The weather has collapsed. Clouds gradually spread, and finally rain drops. Gradually, it has come down.

That ’s the first rain in the world? Can I have so little precipitation? Well, maybe I got off when I was in Japan.

There's no umbrella, no customers ... Yeah, think about it.

Petit Ririn, Chiririn

Oops!

A visitor in the rain!

"I'm sorry, let me shelter a little."

Oh really. But I don't hate polite people. She's a beautiful woman.

4 people in total, this is!

"Bo, adventurer!"

"" "Huh?" "

Four men and women came into the store after sheltering.

A black-haired man with a large sword and a strong body that looks like his late 20's. A skinny blond male with a spear about 20 years old. A redhead woman about 20 years old with a slightly shorter sword. The person who has called out. And a silver-haired girl about 15-16 years old. Bow on back, dagger on hip. Yeah, it's bigger than Beatrice, and it's about the same as Adderate. I glanced at my chest and felt that I could get along for some reason.

Yeah, what do you say, non-adventurers, with this member, this equipment! !

"I'm a mercenary, though."

- but it is.

The four people looked at the products as a courtesy, although they were not willing to buy them. It seems that what you put in was unexpected, and you are enjoying yourself and making noise. The oldest man was a knife, the other was cookware, the red-haired woman was fancy, and the silver-haired girl was a handy tool, in front of their favorite corners.

"Cute ..."

A red-haired woman picks up cute goods one after another with lustful eyes. It's not very expensive, but is it hard for a mercenary in peace to buy it casually?

Rain legs are not likely to weaken.

Mitsuha boiled the water and prepared the tea and sweets, and said to the four of them.

"How about tea here?"

"Well, no money ..."

Red-haired woman, answer immediately!

"No, it's a service. This rain doesn't bring any customers, and it's boring to keep a shop on my own. I need to talk to you ..."

"I'm glad!"

"Blue…"

The elderly man smiled bitterly at the good condition of the woman.

After all, they all took Mitsuha's invitation and sat at the table in the kitchen.

Four are mercenaries from the same village, 27-year-old black-haired man named Sven, 22-year-old blonde man named Zepp, 21-year-old red-haired woman grit, and 16-year-old silver-haired girl named Ilze. By the way, the girl was not a magician. Sorry.

It's a bit uncomfortable that a 16-year-old Ilze is a mercenary, but that's prejudice. If you can't eat in the village, anyone becomes a mercenary or bandit. Also, there was a 21-year-old grit at the age of 16, and it seems that grit was already a mercenary.

There have been few wars and disputes in local areas, and mercenaries are likely to go up in business or change jobs to bandits. Among them, these four people seem to be doing seriously in chores, collecting, hunting, etc. However, they do not make much money, and it seems that they will not be able to replace luxuriously damaged weapons.

"That's why I can't buy what I want, it's bad."

Grit packs tea confectionery with an apologetic look. Japanese-made buns are sweet and tasty, and stuff your stomach. When I sway, I'm full of cheeks. The men were not able to win the temptation, but were shy away and reached for the buns one after another.

"Don't be shy. As I said, I was really bored ... Can I ask a lot of stories?"

"Let's talk, as much as you want!"

Mitsuha listened to various stories from four people. Guilds to show you how to harvest, hunt, and work, the hardships and fun of traveling, and your future goals.

(This is it!)

Mitsuha smelled the money.

"Um, the mercenary guild that I mentioned earlier will accept anyone's request."

"Oh, unless it's not illegal and doesn't violate guild rules. Of course, referral fees are charged."

Sven answered with the bun included in the mouth.

"You've just heard the nomination request, right?"

"Ah"

"Well, can you accept my nomination request?"

"" "" Eh ?? "" "

Mitsuha's request was to be accompanied by the next four men to go fishing and hunting, and to escort and support Mitsuha during that time. He wants to find and buy something that is likely to be useful or helpful for those who do such a job, and he wants to actually see for himself for the study.

After listening to Mitsuha's explanation, the four thought.

Although it is a child, Mitsuha is a respectable shopkeeper. I'm grateful that those people think of themselves. I am happy. We go to a forest not far from the royal capital, with less danger. Mitsuha's escort should have no problem. It has little effect on their usual earning. At best, you might carry Mitsuha's luggage, or in some cases carry tired Mitsuha, but she's a little girl, not too heavy.

Above all, there is definitely a commission. Harvesting and hunting are sometimes lucky and sometimes do not go well, but commissions can be deposited in advance with the guild and received reliably. There are few factors that could lead to a contract failure. If so, it's about the time when the party is wiped out by a thief. And if there is a thief who attacks a poor and combatable mercenary, he wants to worship his face.

Negligible disadvantages, reliable income, and appointment requests prove the party's credibility and increase guild credibility. In addition, if you can connect with this shop, you may be able to get a nomination request again or find a delicious tea confectionery ...

There was no choice. The four looked up and nodded.

"" "I will accept it!" "

My next departure was two days later, so it was raining, and Mitsuha closed the store and went to the mercenary guild with the four men.

Speaking of this, Sven, a leader who had not heard of the commission and was wondering if it could be cheaper, was surprised to see one of Mitsuha's gold coins at the request three days and two nights.

Maybe you're lucky ...

The next day, after closing the store, Mitsuha prepares for a three-day trip for two nights. In addition to the necessities, they asked them, "What if there is such a thing? ] Was packed in the backpack to get you to see. I struggle to manage to carry it myself.

Light but large and hard to carry, small but heavy. After all, water and food are heavy. The base camp seems to be close to a creek, but one liter doesn't seem to be enough on the way, water.

It is probably impossible to return by transfer during the journey. Perhaps because I have a duty as an escort, I would probably watch over at night. Do not risk useless danger.

And on the day of departure. Mitsuha got up earlier than usual, had a large breakfast, and returned home after a transfer. Yeah, on the way ...

During the trip, I would eat two meals a day, and on the first day I was told to eat well before departure. No meal until next dinner. Well, Mitsuha is going to eat something.

In any case, meals became baggage and time consuming, so it was a heavy burden to travel. If you are traveling for the purpose of collecting and hunting like this time, you can eat locally procured items when edible plants and small animals are caught, but I want to bring home what I can sell as much as possible to cash. Cash income, even if you endure hunger. The food to bring seems to be the bare minimum. After that, they are lucky if they can get something they can't sell locally, and if they can't, they can drink a small amount of food and drink with water.

He was offered to prepare Mitsuha's food, but declined. No, that's where I want to try. I looked anxious, but okay, the retort is great.

Also, a knife and a dagger.

Pia, I stopped short sword. It was heavy and bad, after all. So, dagger. A dagger is a short sword when translated literally, but it is completely different from a short sword.

In the first place, infantry has a short sword, cavalry has a long sword, and the actual length does not matter. There are usually long short swords and short long swords. In short, the short sword was a normal sword that an adult male soldier would wield, not short.

All I needed was a half of a normal sword, a dagger. The one that Ilze has. He is 50cm long and 35cm long.

When he said that, the captain's face was just moaning, saying, “I thought you were misunderstanding.” If you know, tell me first!

Knife is for work. It's a standard for dismantling prey. No, I don't. Well, just poses. Of course, in case of emergency, I use it as a weapon.

The difference between a dagger and a knife is difficult. "Orichalcum dagger" is a knife in length, though its shape is clearly sword-like. But, Orichalcum's Knife is cool. Yeah, well, it's a feeling!

And wear other equipment, firearms, etc., finally departure!
