Saving 80,000 Gold in an Another World for Retirement

The merchants divided the captured and tied bandits into three groups, tied each group with ropes, and tied them to trees that were far enough apart.

With this, it would be impossible to run away suddenly.

The division into three is probably to tie it to each of the three carriages, and prevents interrogation of false filings when interrogated after being handed over to a police officer via a guild in the city I think it is because.

Pia, of course, there is no room for 18 bandits on a carriage, so they will probably have to walk with a rope on the carriage.

If you stop walking, you will be dragged by a carriage while lying down. Take your other companions, who are connected by ropes. And even if it's not as good as asphalt road, it's going to be a good "grated radish".

"Well, please sit down here!"

When I saw the person shown to the merchant, he was unloading the packing box for us and setting up a seat and table in the shaded area with a carriage. Although it is just a wooden box, it is properly dressed with cloth.

I would normally sit on the ground, but it is a great service.

There are some merchants' seats, even if we only sit in the seats and everyone else is sitting on the ground and it's hard to talk. Others sit reasonably on the ground or on large stones.

It seems that meal preparation was proceeding alongside binding the bandits, and the meal was already ready on the wooden box temporary table.

Hard-baked bread, dried meat, dried apples, and water.

I spared the time to boil the water, maybe to avoid letting us wait, I didn't even soup because I was in a hurry. Sabine-chan's expression is dark in that menu that is even lower than expected.

However, the amount of dried meat and dried apples is quite large. Maybe a special service.

Collet, who has come to me, has improved her eating habits, but she used to live in rural areas. Compared to that time, there are only dried meat and dried fruits, and it looks very satisfying.

As soon as we got to the table, the merchant and his wife also got to the table and the meal started.

Don't give a long speech or toast before a meal. The story is about eating slowly. So dinner is time consuming.

When you first bite the hard bread, the merchant immediately talks.

"Princess Priestess, this time, help us, I'm sorry ..."

"Oh, please stop! I'm sorry because my back becomes itchy!

Please call me Mitsuha! "

"Eh, but that is ..."

I managed to persuade the hesitant merchant to convince me to call him “Mitsuha,” but this time he became “Mitsuha-sama,” and then persuaded him further to finally settle on “Mitsuha-san”.

I haven't been able to make humans enough to be called “sama” and talk normally.

"Well, that's why I thought about seeing it all over the place, on a journey of nations ..."

Of course, there is no way to tell idiots, “To conclude a treaty with each country ~”. It's about national strategy and it's state secrets. That's not something I can talk to. Especially for merchants.

So, I made up a good reason and decided that it was a fun trip.

In fact, I don't advertise much to other countries as a country.

If rumors spread that there is a girl who repels the invasion of the empire alone, it is easy to imagine what attitude other countries will take.

So, externally, it was just 'the elite troops of the country have defeated the Imperial Army', and the brave aristocratic girl who spearheaded it to boost morale, was honored for its achievements Is to be given.

Of course, the people who were in the capital at that time, including the people of the capital, did not believe that story, and there were quite a few types of intelligence agents and merchants from other countries.

But I can't help complaining about the official announcement as a nation and I can't ask questions.

If you do that, you will insult the country and it will cause various obstacles. That would be bad. In particular, "countries that may have been blessed by the goddess."

That is why some information is flowing between the commoners through merchants and other countries in nearby countries, but rumors are not so widespread at a distance. ...... Between the commoners.

Of course, the royal palaces and senior aristocrats of some nations will be informed to what the royal capital knows.

However, even if you send uncertain information such as "It seems that another country has received the protection of the goddess", it will not benefit you at all, but on the contrary it will only be disadvantageous, so everyone will spread the information I never did.

The lower aristocrats will know to some extent that some wits will know, but most will know only rumors that are not credible.

But I'm worried about that.

Yes, my figure has spread in large quantities.

How much has that spread? And how much information is attached to it?

Oh, I failed ...

Well, aside, it's a conversation with a merchant right now.

"So, to the royal capital of Japan?"

"Ah, yes, I'm going to do that. Tonight, I'll cross the big river and get somewhere in the city."

"Eh? But this road still crosses the Alm River for dozens of kilometers ... oh, no, nothing."

The merchant glanced at us and glanced at our car.

Yeah, just a moment ago, I've seen you skip a little.

……I want to hear! What is that?

Such an aura is rising from all the merchants. However, through dare.

"Um, are you from this country?"

If you just hear this, the balance will not match. If you don't get this information too!

"Oh, yes, we are a kind of merchant called 'Rim Traders', we go straight from the royal capital through the city, close to the border, then a little along the border and back to the royal capital again You.

This allows you to sell the goods of the royal capital in the remote areas and bring the goods of the remote areas back to the royal capital.

Well, in the towns and villages near the border, inflows from neighboring countries, in short, they are “smuggling goods”, but they can be safely purchased at the price excluding tax and carry-in tax, so Because it will be a profit ... "

Wow, merchant, it ’s gone!

Well, merchants are not involved in smuggling separately, they are just buying normally, so is there no problem? And we know each other that there's no possibility that we'll hear it and get into the officials.

"Um, then, where about me ..."

Yes, here is what I want to confirm.

"Yes, it's a connection between merchants, from local merchants who are present at the scene, merchants from other countries who came to trade, gathering information at commercial guilds ...

And then, hand over a figure from a merchant friend. This"

That's why they were taken out of their pockets, of course. The color version that was sold later, not the tournament exchange tag.

"I always carry it with me when I'm on a business trip, just in case. It's an amulet. I'm grateful that you helped me this time."

Well, maybe that's the case, certainly. Such is the relationship between people.

"... one figure was one gold coin."

"What's that ?!"

100 times the original value.

No, the original price is just a price, just as a printed matter.

…… However, it ’s terrible.

"Well, it was a really good purchase. I have to thank that merchant later ..."

Supply and demand.

Customer satisfaction.

I guess it's a story I talk about

But something is not clear.

One of these is one gold coin ...

No, it's good!
