"Hey, I heard you, kid. No, Ars. I hear you gave the traveler some land. Why aren't you speaking to me?"
"Hmm? You don't need land for a pedestrian old man, do you?
"Don't say that. It's just me and you. I want to open a store, not just a business trip. You're right, please. Can you give me the land to open the store?
An old pedestrian who's been doing business with me for a long time has spoken up.
Apparently you've heard that Gran built a house here that he's traveling all over the place.
I'm impressed that you're unexpectedly quick to hear.
"But no. I've been fooled that my old man doesn't have a magical service beast."
"Gosh, I told you before I didn't even know that."
"I don't know if that's true."
"If we're going to say that, we'll be like each other. I didn't even hear about Valkyrie being able to use magic."
Well, do we end up there?
Magic usable servant beasts seem precious, even though they are traded as super luxury goods in the expensive servant beast market.
Apparently the old man, a pedestrian, didn't know about it.
Technically, the Valkyrie trading price may not be fair right now.
But I wasn't the first to tell you that Valkyrie could use magic, and my old man didn't know.
It wouldn't make sense to say which is worse.
The old man of the pedestrian already knows that a servant beast named Valkyrie can use magic.
Or a lot of people know that at the time I surrounded this land with glue walls.
Exactly, because it was impossible to hide the way he was moving around to build a wall for months while walking with the servant beast.
However, although the Valkyrie transaction price has increased somewhat, it is not treated as a luxury item.
Because I cut the corners off from the start and sell them without the magic.
It's only because it's about the villagers who know that Valkyrie has the power to use magic, and they only look like regular riding servant beasts at their sales destinations outside the village.
No one in the village knows the market for the price of the servant beast, and no one will doubt it for the time being.
"Shh. Fine, I'll allow the store to open. If possible, I'd be happy to have a restaurant that serves food."
I have only been with this pedestrian for quite a long time and trust him, even though I say what it is.
If you want to open a store, that would be fine.
It is still doubtful whether it makes sense to open a store in a place where there is only such barter.
I'm glad I have a dining room to at least save you that hassle, as they've taken time for chores since I left my parents' house.
That's what I was thinking.
"Yes, there was something else I wanted to tell Ars."
"What? It would be somewhat accommodating if there was a place to open the store."
"That would be nice. But it's not. A little nasty rumor in my ear."
"Disgusting rumors?
"Oh, about this land. We're talking about some dangerous people here."
"The dangerous one? You don't have that, do you?
"After all, were you unconscious? Look, this story is about you. They think you're dangerous."
"Me? Why not? There's no sober, purer person with a pure heart than me, is there?
"... let's just put aside what you think of yourself. Be careful what they think you might be anyway."
"Hmmm. Even if that was a joke earlier, you shouldn't have done a single dangerous thing... I wonder why we're talking about that."
"You know what, you're an idiot. What would you think from the nobility who ruled this place? It's like a fortress surrounded by giant walls in a village to the north. No wonder you feel disturbing signs."
"But we can't demolish this wall now because it's a beast control for big pigs."
"I know that, though. You're just suddenly surprised you could do it. One of these days, noblemen will come here to see you, too? Explain it properly."
"Oh well, okay. Good to hear it first. Thanks."
I see.
For once, I thought I had some discretion because I got a permit for this land.
In fact, I don't think they said anything so different when paying last year's taxes.
But is that possible if you think about it?
I was going to be disturbed by how I reasoned and talked about it by the next tax payment.
