"You've taken a lot of material this time, brother!

"Yeah, that would make you happy."

"Yes!"

That day, I, Laust and Narsena, were walking toward the city in ridicule.

A few days after the party exile, I decided to stop working on the guild and sell off the material at the city store.

Normally, we don't buy adventurers' materials directly in private stores.

I do have no intermediary named Adventurer Guild to buy directly so the store can buy cheap and the adventurer can sell high, but the store is extremely reluctant to purchase materials directly from the adventurer.

Because the private sector doesn't trust adventurers at all.

That's why even when buying material from an adventurer, the store allows the adventurer to approve various procedures so that if there is any damage, they can offer it immediately.

If we don't, we can't just deal with civilians when something goes wrong.

"Oh, are you still here today? Thanks hey."

"No, Mr. Mary, don't worry about it"

"That's right! We're the only ones who've skipped the process!

However, after selling the materials to the store for the past few days, we were able to omit the process in favor of the store.

It's not just Mary's lodging right in front of her, it's also from the demon stone store, in butchers and other shops.

That's nothing but proof of absolute trust in us from the store.

I sometimes came to the city to sell meat to understand how broken that was.

Anyway, it used to be a routine tea ceremony, where rough adventurers tried to wield violence against people in the city who couldn't fight.

Well, he didn't have as much strength to fight back as he did.

Anyway, it's unusual for stores to trust adventurers that much.

"You brought so many again! Plus, you said you wanted me!

"No, I'm always grateful for what you've done. Never mind, it's free..."

That's why I always try to sneak over what I always said I wanted from the store as a thank you for being so kind. [M]

"Well, besides this one, I'll give it to you!

"What, so much!? No, it's always bad! This demon stone is my usual thanks, so I don't need anything..."

"What are you talking about, you smell like water! Because it's good, because it's good!

... but most of the time this is how the money obviously comes back aside.

Obviously let it get on top of the price of the demon stone on the market too.

"Wow! Thank you!

At some point, Narsena seemed used to having me put aside, but I couldn't get used to it.

"But always on boulders..."

"Then see, you play with our Sheila. She's always waiting for you."

"But..."

So I just tried to stick with it this time...

"Brother, you won't play with me..."

"Oh, no! Yeah, play, Sheila."

"Yeah!"

... but the next moment, I couldn't say anything more to Sheila's sinking voice, which somehow appeared right next to me.

"It's nice. Sheila."

"You used Sheila again to make the story aye, Mr. Mary"

"It's good because it's the care of the elderly. Besides, if Sheila can play with your brother, she'll be happy to admit it.... and you'd be easier to listen to that story."

"Huh!"

At that time, I think Mary and the others were saying something, but I'm going to play with Sheila on the edge of giving up.

"Well, then, the usual meal!

"Oh, I'm your father, Sheila's your mother."

"Yeah!"

To my words, Sheila laughs a little blushing at that adorable face.

And when I look at that look, I feel weird. [M]

Until now, I've been abused in the Adventurer's Guild, and I've been estranged from being an adventurer by the people of the city.

That's the kind of emotion I have in my chest for living this life in just a few days. [M]

And with that emotion, I stared and laughed at Narsena talking to Mary about something.

"I guess this is all thanks to Narsena, too"

My words leaked so small were a thank you to Narsena...

◇ ◆ ◇

"Well, then, the usual meal!

"Oh, I'm your father, Sheila's your mother."

"Yeah!"

Your brother and Sheila, who talk to you like you're very close.

"Hmmm......"

And seeing the sight, I, Narsena, had a slightly troubled face.

Whatever you think, Sheila didn't seem to care about your brother.

"What are you looking at... what are you going to do with that little girl..."

Seeing me like that, Mary raises her voice like a shudder.

From Mary's point of view, you think the emotions Sheila has for her brother are like admiration.

In fact, even I think that's more likely.

"... when I was about Sheila's age, I liked your brother."

... but my experience prevented me from taking Mary's words honestly.

Your brother is incredibly gentleman and cool to believe he's an adventurer in this city.

It's never unlikely that Sheila will like you.

"Well, can I ask you again today, Mr. Mary..."

But I decided to put that concern aside and ask Mary to have it.

I'm really worried about Sheila, but now I have more to do than that.

To that end, Mary is letting her brother play with Sheila so she can't hear what she's about to do.

"I know. I'm still buying a lot of good stuff today!

Mary smiles pleasantly at me when she turns her face bright red and opens her mouth.

In fact, this is how I let my brother go far, and it can no longer be every time I hear from Mary.

What am I listening to until then?

"Speaking of which, they thought you guys were lovers and they were in love with Laust. The butcher's daughter was running away. Well, he came home after one night."

That was information about old brothers and lovers who seem to be after them.

Ms. Mary is a regular (?) Apparently, this city is the most informative.

"Oh, wow, me and your brother are lovers...... uh hehe"

"Naru's not really all the way! So what do you think, Laust realizes how Naru feels?

"Eh! Well, I hope so, but you're still nice to me every day..."

I unwittingly loosen that mouth from Mary, and against me, Mary shows an insensitive reaction to romance, characteristic of a middle-aged woman.

That's how I talk to Mary, and your brother plays with Sheila more and more time goes by.

There was a soothing time in the city...
