"Anyway, we have to cross the Devil's Lands, so it would be helpful to have them home early..."

"Well, don't say that, slowly, because you can't leave this undersea city without my permission anyway."

"... incarceration, you mean?

You just wanted to complain, Kuzha frowns and makes words.

Apparently, Kutila is speaking Republican to see where the language goes and where Mr. Richelle doesn't understand.

Even in the midst of Kuzha's unwilling disbelief, the little queen has a cool face,

"Imprisonment means being rude. You're just trying to entertain a guest, aren't you?

"I was forced to bring in a guest, is that...?

"Even if it's up to the guests! Whatever it is, Wataru admitted it!

The words don't make any sense, but they're not willing to let us go anyway.

"Kuzha, let's just calm down"

In the meantime, calm down Kuzha, who's been heating up.

It doesn't change how much I complained that the bubbles that are protecting us now are caused by Kutila's magic.

I don't want to try how much vampires are sturdy or just how much water pressure they can withstand in the deep sea, and I'm sure they'll choke by the time they get back to sea level, even if they're alive.

Naturally, there's not a single Mr. Fernote or Mr. Zeno who's definitely more brittle than I am.

"If you get hospitality and them, you mean you'll return them?

"Hehe. Don't rush. Don't rush. If you look at the town of Wataru, you'll love it and you won't want to go home."

"... you're strangely confident"

"Naturally! Wrinkles are perfect!! Naturally, the city made of strawberries is perfect!!

I don't think the perfect guy would probably forget about the steering wheel behind him and hit him in the back of the head, but he said nashi, so I kept it quiet.

I wonder what's wrong, Xeno-kun takes a step forward.

"So the Queen wants you to know the value of this town."

"Um, we're talking fast, that's not what I'm talking about!

"So, this is also a part of the queen's story that is sudden and confusing, so can I talk to you for a second?

"Uhm...... maybe it does. Come on, forgive me!

Xeno-kun finally gave the queen a thank you and came back to this one.

"I think you should listen to her now"

"... Xeno-kun, are you even thinking about something?

"This opponent...... uh, Queen Kutila is trying to show her interest here and something over here as well. That means, in our words, we want to have a business meeting."

"That sounds like a merchant's idea... but it's okay, Xeno. I don't care what you think. I'm not listening."

"How often a boxed lady is a wagamama. It's not clear what exactly you're looking for... maybe that's what she says, if you look around this town you'll see"

"... for once, I'll take a look, you mean?

"Yeah. Because we can't talk business without knowing anything about each other. The other guy pulls this one in and tells him not to go home. It's a discretionary statement, but this one's already been grabbed by the table, so let's make some money out of it."

"… the benefit in this case is that everyone is safe and open,"

"Yes, and I'll be good at this."

Xeno-kun is a merchant. You still seem young, but you've been through a lot of journeys and I know enough to put together a lot of business talks.

That's what I'm used to traveling, and the profession of a trafficker in this other world is a pretty dangerous category in the first place. If Zeno-kun can take care of it, he'll be fine.

More importantly, Xenokun is probably the only one in this Ments who can calmly negotiate right now.

Mr. Fernote is gentle but straight, and I don't care what you think of abdominal arts.

Kuzha is pure and unsuitable for negotiation, and Mr. Richelle cannot have a conversation before the negotiation.

It's a pain in the ass for me, so negotiating isn't the right thing to do in the first place.

"Well, uh... I don't know what to say, but the queen seems pure, so I'll do something with some deception"

Xeno-kun himself smiles and says that, and he still thinks exactly of the damage as a merchant.

"… So shall we stay here for a little while? I'll tell Mr. Richelle."

"Please, Mr. Alger. Tell me as soon as you can."

"Okay. I'll leave you to Xenokun."

Xeno-kun chuckles and lightly finishes the clothes he is wearing and walks toward Kutila.

It's a mystery how long your stay will be, but also clothing and living in the meantime, Xeno would talk through it properly.

I was thinking about the future while explaining it to Richelle, who is not always available. [M]

It's a mystery how long it takes for the story to come together, but I'm free in the meantime.

I care about Mr. Richelle, but there's nothing I can do about it unless I can move. Unless I can help you, I have nothing to do.

I wish there was somewhere I could take a nap.
