Shut-in Magician

It was late because of the noise at noon, but in the afternoon we looked around for old bookstores and such openings and walked around.

There were more stores open and more excavations proportionate than during Lowal's birthday festival.

I buy more and more books anyway if I care. There were many books that seemed just as good for souvenirs to Caspar and Edvard, and I bought them with little regard for ancient language relationships.

One of these days, rumors broke out that there was a child buying and fishing for old books, and the store owner came to call me next, and one shop provided the place for the treatment, so each of them brought it in there.

I also think it has become a little too conspicuous, but now I buy it. Inside I could also find books like scams because I knew what was in them the moment I had them. They go sideways.

"Hey, why aren't you buying me this?"

Some complained, but I guess I know and do because I have a dos in my voice, and I teach them to hear the pointers so they can be heard around me.

"A line of words with no meaning to the contents, something without the contents that made it look old-fashioned, the same book but deliberately changing the fitting, I just inherited the paper even though the contents are rubbish gone, something that changed the fitting even though it's a modern book, still going on?

"... I haven't seen it, you know?

"I'm a wizard. You can't buy old books without knowing that. Really, your husband told me. It's weird. If you buy it, you'll be pissed off."

And I can even tell a little lies. It's not the financial strength of a child to buy so many books, it's an appeal to have a rich husband.

Thanks to this, the bookstores around me paid attention to the strange things they do to their children.

"Try to mix it up, 'cause this kid's gonna be pissed."

"All right, we'll check the contents again, and then we'll leave."

"Ooh."

Somehow they came together to look into it.

Some of them were colorbooks by ancient language, but what about this? and it was interesting that the adult men were the ones discussing it.

"Oh, for once, they're telling me to buy them all if I'm not even scamming them for time proof, so put them in line. Your husband won't show me that either."

"Oh well. That's good. It's a little early for a kid."

And they told me.

I wondered how much the hell they were looking at me, but I stopped asking. I feel depressed.

Ferres was being stroked by the men at the store while Xiu lined up the corner of the store selling all the old books. He touches Ferres, in turn, from the shopkeeper who has finished buying.

Ferres' popularity was high even as he became a beast, breaking the rapport of the big men.

After all the buying and trying to leave the store, so much so that everyone seems to regret it.

He even told me to send him, though I don't know which one is his destiny.

"Oh, but I'm still thinking about looking at something else and walking."

"Really? But I bought it in bulk, and I know I even have an item box. I'm worried about you."

"I almost got blackmailed in the back alley of the market, but the residents will be out soon, and the gendarmerie will be here, so it's okay."

"Hmm, if you say so, well"

As I say, I see Flirting Ferres.

Siu smiled bitterly, then tried to suggest.

"If the store is okay, will you come with me to the vicinity of the arena? If you go that far, you can spill it even if it's followed by your uncles, and if you go to your husband's noble seat, you can give it to the escort later."

"Oh well! Then let's do that. Anyway, we're not selling anymore.

"I was quick this year."

"Well, you know, you've been selling them out for years."

"Well, that's mutual."

We said, "I'll clean up the store later," and we walked out together.

As suggested, Siu and Ferres were in the middle surrounded by men, but from time to time those who stand beside Ferres change.

Ferres doesn't hate being touched, if he's not in such a bad mood, so he is, but he remains.

Plus, he can see you're being chiseled, and, oh, my God, you want a ride? And it was enough to be foreboding.

"Yeah? What's up, this"

"You can ride if you want, 'cause"

"Seriously!

"Oh, me, I want to ride..."

"Me too..."

Everyone whispered for some reason. It's funny, as if you think Ferres will disappear if you shout out.

"Then, in order. It may be difficult to ride because you don't have a riding belt, but Ferres is used to it, and surprisingly, it's easy to pretend to ride."

Siu prompted me to ride Ferrez's back softly as a man who was like a leader.

"Ooh, ooh."

"Oh, sweetie..."

"Wow, he's got a big man on him, but he's grand"

After a short walk, the leader's man says that's enough and gets off. Wait for the next guy to ride and start walking again.

"How'd it go?

"Wow, I was pretending too. Good. I knew cat riders would be good."

"I want to keep you, too."

"You, didn't you say Fenrill was good?

"You're Draco Equus, aren't you?

The men who were talking to each other also seemed to have become a fae racist afterwards when they rode Ferres.

When I got to the square near the arena, I bought skewers, bread, etc. from the stall and ate them all.

Siu is a jerk.

Everyone feeds Ferres one bite at a time. Of course, since I took my understanding with the owner, Siu, it was also interesting and cute.

"Thanks for the ride, I'd like to give you a snack, would you?"

And say it with a red face. A big man.

Siu chewed off the laugh and replied fine. Ferres was in an even better mood when he said he was going to thank me.

The diagram, which contributes in turn, also looked a bit like a proud cat, but it is also cute and leaks laughter.

"Excuse me for coming to me."

"No, I was good at it. Besides, I didn't think they'd let me ride the beast."

"Wouldn't you rent a horseman in this country?

"Right. Almost, the country is monopolistic. The merchant's travel is also up to the ground dragon's leano kelose, and only the army can own it when it comes to Marak. The carriages are mostly horses. I've never even seen Draco Equus near here."

"Really? Lowal, there are many beast riders, even children can borrow them if they can ride them. Well, I can't help being a common man because I owe you a lot of money, but if I help you, you can give me a ride inside the beast house."

"Good. Rare beasts are only rare and there are many strong individuals, and I guess it's safe to use them for travel. This one almost uses horses for travel, so when the Warcraft strikes me, I can't even see it. We need to hire a lot of escorts, and it costs money to transport supplies."

"It's tough. Oh, so old books were a little pricey, too."

"Sort of. Is Lowal cheaper?

"About ten to twenty percent."

"We worked hard on the price, too, huh?

"Oh, yes. I understand that."

"... you, you didn't negotiate a discount, no"

"At the market, I also enjoy negotiating discounts because that seems to be what it is. I know the market. But many books only exist, right? I wonder if it would be different to negotiate a discount because we price it for its value."

When I said that watching the men cling to Ferres, a man smiled bitterly next door.

"I knew you'd read that book, didn't you?

"Huh?"

"That's not the book your husband asked for. Oh, no, that's okay. I don't care who bought it. I'm just glad the people who love books bought them."

Then I laughed and winked niggly.

"I'm not telling anyone. Also, come to this time of year if you get the chance. Dear Customer"

"... Yes. Thanks for everything."

When I shook my hand, a man introduced himself to me.

"I'm late, but I'm Perceval, I'm an adventurer"

"Oh, really?

He said, "Oh, I'm mostly exploring the ruins. It's a strong book relationship, so it's a way to buy and sell old books."

"Heh. So you get ancient magic props, too."

"Ouch. There are many things I can't use for the most part. The books are better. You're interested in magic tricks, too?

"Because I make it myself. Do you have a recommended store or something?

When I asked casually, Perceval personally gave me this and the information.

After all, the cake was a cake shop, and the adventurers specializing in relics knew a lot about it.

Finally, I told him I would introduce him - because I had sold everything - and I decided to meet him the next morning.
