On his way to the church, Iris had discovered a number of human towns and villages from the sky.

Of course, I didn't want to see a human, so everything went straight.

But not this time.

See if this grass is going to be money.

If it's going to be money, Iris can buy a new pyjama, and he can eat rice.

Iris, a demon tribe, can live by sucking away the magic power around him, but where that church is, the magic power was thin.

If you don't make up for it with food, you'll starve to death in time.

So Iris got off to the nearest town......

Hiding in the shadows of the building from earlier on, I can hardly get out onto the main street.

"Ugh... people are walking... they are having a fun conversation... when they get out there, I'm sure they'll talk to me too... oh, look, I'm greeting that guy and all the different people! Oh, horrible………"

Iris is anticipating when to jump out onto the boulevard.

But there's always no sign of people missing.

The voices people talk to are uninterrupted.

If we wait till night, we'll all be home for sure.

If it's a boulevard where no one is, Iris can walk in grandeur too.

However, the store closes at night, so I can't get the grass appraised.

"I'm in trouble…… This is a difficult question………."

"Pu pu..."

Punigami shouted with Iris on board.

"Hey, what the fuck! It's the first time I've ever been to a human town, so you have no choice! Nevertheless... I didn't think it was such a big town when I saw it from the sky, but I can't believe there are so many people... there are so many bigger towns than this... I knew I couldn't let it go extinct. Besides, dying seems painful... and you don't want it to hurt. That's pathetic."

"Pupu."

"Punigami was dry at the bottom of the well, so you know what it's like to die, don't you? Hmm, it hurts after all...... hmmm... extinction is decided in the direction of none. Let's go home so we don't accidentally kill you."

"Puppy!

Punigami was angry, "I feel sorry for you."

"Because... oh, look. I'm trying to sell vegetables to that stall uncle and everyone on the road. Me, I'm not sure I'll say no... I'm scared... to talk casually to someone I don't know... I'm afraid of humans"

"Pu!

"Uh, Punigami, what are you moving on your own, oh, no! If I go that way, I'm out on the main street, I'm out! No, you can't!

Not even hearing Iris desperately stop, Punigami jumped out to the boulevard.

At that moment, the gaze of the people on the road concentrates on Iris and Punigami.

"Oh, there's a kid on the slime, huh?

"Monster use. That's unusual."

"You're not a kid in this town. You're traveling even though you're so small?

"She has very beautiful silver hair. I wonder where you're from?

I hear Zawazawa and various words.

Iris felt like everyone in this town was staring at himself.

No, actually, some of the people on this boulevard don't even care about Iris.

Those who walk away just looking sideways with chills, or those who have not turned their interest from the beginning.

Iris and Punigami are only partially the subject of this conversation.

But for Iris, it doesn't matter, like, the actual percentage.

It attracts multiple attention and people I don't know are telling their stories.

Embarrassing.

I want to leave this place quickly.

If I don't, I'm dying.

Even though...

"My lady. You've had a lot of big slime with you. Your daughter is small, but great. Look, I'll give you some candy."

An aunt spoke to Iris.

That doesn't have content in the words either.

If this is a question or a clear topic, I can return it.

but a totally meaningless chat.

I don't know how to give it back.

Iris was afraid.

"Aww... thanks for the candy, Aww"

Iris barely thanked him for the candy.

That was the limit.

And then what can I say?

That's right, let's mouth candy.

Pepperoni.

Delicious.

No, I'm not.

Not if you are wearing candy.

I need to say something.

I can't think of any.

Eyes turn.

"Pu pu pu!

Punigami advised me to ask where to find the price of the grass.

"Oh, oh, uh, isn't there a store that deals with herbs and stuff here, around here?"

Too much bite and no longer sure what she was saying herself, but my aunt understood Iris' words with amazing hearing abilities and told me as she nicked them.

"Herbs. I do. I knew you were a traveler. Great. Look, I'll show you around, come here."

"Oh, oh, thank you."

Iris chases behind his aunt, on a punigami.

And he was brought in front of an old tool shop.

In front of the store, there is a wooden sign that says "I'm buying it too".

Exactly what I was looking for.

"Look, here it is. In addition to the herbs, there are other things you might want to use for your journey."

"Ah…… you have guided me…… Thank you very much……."

"It's great to thank you properly, even though you're small. Look, I'll give you candy."

"Oh, thank you very much."

"Great and cute. Wow. I'll give you another one."

Thank you very much.

Every time I thanked him, he gave me candy, so I decided to keep looping.

And when I saved about twenty candy balls in Iris' palm, my aunt's candy finally ran out.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm out of candy. I'm so sorry."

"Yes, no, Ko, I got so much candy, oh, oh, thank you very much."

"Really cute. Candy. Instead of this, I'll give it to you."

"Hih..."

For a while after that, Iris continued to do so until his aunt felt better.

Even though I'm so nervous that I'm about to blow up my heart just to have a little conversation with someone I don't know, it's a lethal amount of thread. Iris was impressed that he didn't die well.

"And anyway, this is how I got to the store where I was likely to figure out the price of the grass. You're not throwing away my communal power."

"Puni."

Punigami also praised me for "good work".

Confident Iris grabs the grass again and enters the tool store in a temper.

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I'm sorry. Sasa, oh, good, good."

"Oh? Lady, what are you talking about?

The moment he entered the store, he looked strange to the bearded shopkeeper.

Iris' confidence shattered in an instant.

"No more. I'm going home."

"Punch it!"

Iris barely stood still, as Punigami angered him.

Re-challenge again.

"Ko, this grass............ I think it's a medicinal herb, but I want you to find out how much it's going to cost...... well, I'm not saying it's impossible..........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Iris mouths the mogomogo and, for once, the requirements properly, and puts the grass he brings on the counter.

"Grass? Herbs or something...... is this!?"

The shopkeeper, who was not interested at first, changed the color of his eyes and took the grass in his hand the moment he saw the real thing.

Apparently, as Iris expected, it's quite expensive.

Iris decided to observe the store as soon as it was being appraised by the store owner.

It's not as big as it is.

Is it about the size of enough beds?

Shelves line such a narrow space, displaying suspicious potions, weird shapes of canes, daggers, dried meat, ropes, candles, parchment paper, dishes, crystal balls, dokuro, and other miscellaneous items without context.

There was only one other guest in Iris.

He looked nervous, he was a skinny man.

"I have a customer, I'm scared," Iris shuddered when she saw the skinny man.

"Young lady…… this herb…… the illusory elixir grass (yes)! Besides, how many different kinds of magic do you suck?!? No, you can't test it with my eyes..."

The store owner seemed busy being surprised or depressed.

Apparently, this grass is a better product than Iris thought.

"Um, the…… elixir grass is such an amazing………?

"You're so determined!

"Oh, I'm sorry!

Iris apologized reflexively as the shopkeeper shouted.

The shopkeeper who sees it will look like he doesn't live there the other way around.

"Oh, no, I'm sorry. But...... where did you get such a substitute? I'll tell you what, elixir grass is considered universal among herbs. If you eat it, it will help you become ill, if you crush it and apply it, the wound will heal, and if you fry it and make it tea, your body will become sturdy… and so on. Naturally, it's expensive, and rarely goes out. Anyway, it only grows in soil rich in magic. And this elixir grass must have grown up sucking unusual magic. If my eyes are certain, I can see the rainbow magic. Ten of those elixir grasses... bad, but I can't afford them in my shop"

The shopkeeper strokes his beard and squeals unfortunately.

Iris was also sorry.

I've come this far with courage, but I have trouble not getting a price on it.

"Oh, um... it can be cheaper than the market, so could you buy it out...? Because I really want to make this grass money... I need you to buy it out now..."

Iris has a stomachache and eventually, dies, wondering if he has to negotiate in another store again if he can't buy it off.

"There's going to be some deep circumstances... but okay? At my store, that's the only price I can put on it to see underfoot, right?

"If I show you underfoot, will you buy it……? Then I'll show you!

Iris took off her boots as she sat in the punigami, stretching her legs and exposing herself to underfoot.

The store owner then

"She's cute..."

And I blushed somewhat.

"Hey, what!? What the fuck!? Pervert!

"Chi, no! You, keep your legs exposed like that, if you can spot them a little, you're too perverted or irrational!

The shopkeeper protests.

"That sort of thing............?

Iris wasn't quite sure, so I asked Punigami.

"Pu......?

But Punigami didn't seem confident either.

Whatever, no matter how competent, Punigami slimes.

I don't think it's common sense in human society.

I might still be more familiar with Iris.

"Wow, okay...... let's do this...... say the maximum amount you can put out on these ten elixir grasses. I'll sell it if I'm convinced with that......!

"Alright...... the amount I can give is one gold coin at a time. I mean the sum, ten gold coins......!

The beard shopkeeper said with a temperamental face.

But Iris was in trouble.

Even if they say ten pieces of gold, they don't know how much it's worth.

"Ten gold coins... I mean, if I lived alone, how long would I have...? Oh, there's a place to stay, so you don't have to calculate the rent."

"Hmmm... two or three months if you don't have to calculate the rent...... no, depending on the extent of the boredom, maybe six months"

The shopkeeper put his arms around him and said as he thought

"Six months! Awesome! Oh, but I want new clothes or something..."

"Then you can't do six months. Well, you can do three months. Based on that I say...... take it to a bigger town and they'll buy it for more than double the price. Still selling it to me?

"…… I'll sell it! I need money for now!

And then I'm going to go to other towns now to negotiate, or something, which is troublesome, painful, and scary.

"Okay! There seems to be something going on, but I won't ask in depth! Look, ten gold coins! I won't ask you if you say 'without it' later!

"Yeah, where I want it! Elixir grass, ten bottles, I did sell them for ten gold coins!

Iris received a cloth bag containing gold coins.

I was very satisfied to be able to wrap up the negotiations on my own.

"Yay!

The store owner was also delighted with tears.

Anyway, Iris sold elixir grass at the store owner's price that he couldn't even properly appraise.

That would make me happy as a shopkeeper.

But the owner declared, "I'm going to blow it," so Iris didn't dispute it.

Satisfied with each other, great deal.

"Then I'll bring Elixir grass again in time! Nice to meet you!"

"Seriously!? Say hello! Hehe, you can make a fortune with just these ten bottles."

The shopkeeper takes the elixir grass to the back of the store as he leaps.

Iris leaps over Punigami and leaves the store.
