To Deprive a Deprived Person

Episode 280: Candy Shop

"Ah, I'm tired. Good luck today."

Talan, a werewolf who finished his morning farming, stretches out his back. Looking around, we can see those who have similarly finished farming and cattle, pigs and other livestock production, heading back towards the village.

"Narmo, it looks like the guys you brought in yesterday rubbed it with the Gargo guys."

"Huh."

Narmo, the tiger, turns his shoulder and rings like he's not interested.

"What the heck. Looks like they're complaining about something other than the Orc. Think of a balance of forces."

"Don't want to use words you just found out about."

"Why not! Even the teacher said he'd forget to use the knowledge and words he remembered!

Not only children, but those who wished, were taught to study by the elderly of the human race, even adults. From Taran, who had never studied or anything else before, everything taught by the knowledgeable old men was fresh and interesting.

"Don't be such a jerk. So what happened to the balance of forces?

"Whoa, so back to the force. You know what the population of the nameless kingdom is right now?

"I don't know that detail, but where the Beasts are roughly seven thousand and the Fallen are about two thousand and the Devils are two or three thousand? There aren't a thousand demons. Ah, before this, the king brought a lot of slaves."

"Well, I guess that's the place. The most common ones are the Beasts, but the strongest ones are the Demons, right? You know that because you train with skeleton knights."

A skeletal knight is an army of undead served by Yu. From just skeletal knights to skeletal knights like rust, copper, and steel, the inhabitants of the nameless kingdom are sequencing their strength. It feels like if you beat a normal skeletal knight one-on-one, you will get a glance from everyone if you beat a rusty skeletal knight.

"I can beat a skeleton knight."

Narmo plays his nose with his thumb and says he's not losing to the Demons.

"I can beat a skeleton knight, too. But even you can't beat a skeleton knight more than rust, can you? But many demons beat rusty and copper skeleton knights. We have a good battle against the Black Skeleton Knight."

"So?"

"That's all the Demons are saying. Look, I don't know where you heard about this a while ago, but you brought the other demons on the boat, didn't you? I'll protect the country. How could I have missed half the territory instead?

"So Machupi beat you up. After that, you asked the king for permission to talk to the demon tribe over there."

"That's fine. The problem is after that. I don't know how Machupi talked about it, but the demons are moving into the country.

You know what I'm trying to say? If you want more Demons, you need more Beasts. "

With all the crap, Narmo sighs loudly in exaggeration.

"What are you talking about like a human race?"

"I think it's important."

"As much as I worry about that, I can work for the king more. Besides, the king tells me I don't have to bring many beasts."

"Ha!? Why not?"

"Unlike you, stupid, the king thinks of his country more than anyone else."

"Who's an idiot!

Narmo pays off Taran's hand as he grabs it. I walk in silence for a while, but eventually Taran becomes more intolerable and talks.

"The king thinks of the country, did he leave the place in the field?

"Oh, so is that. Isaiah told me that even crops get sick. It's not uncommon for some illnesses to make all the fields go bad. That's why the king is making the fields away from all sorts of places."

"Maybe a chicken or a cow or a pig?

"A king would think about that."

"I know the king thinks a lot for his country. What does that have to do with not adding more beasts?

"There's more than enough beasts here right now, isn't there? The Demons give birth in about six months after they become pregnant, just like the Beasts, but there are still one or many of them born. You're not as prolific as the Beast Man."

Taran, who doesn't like to think too hard, gets a headache without his thoughts catching up.

"I'm not serving the Beasts in the first place, let alone any other species. I serve the king. I don't care what the others say. I don't know. How about this?

"What is it?"

Knowingly but unpleasantly, Taran sees the great lizard that Narmo crosses.

"Here it is. Here it is! Look at this fire-blown lizard. The king bothered to catch me in the labyrinth for the reward of finding my mineral vein, didn't he? I'm really a fierce demon who doesn't let people on. The king went out of his way to find a quiet, smart guy for me."

Narmo groans as he strokes the head of a fire-blowing lizard that spits out fire, not his tongue.

"Damn. If only my nose was in good shape, I would have found it."

"Are you a loser? Next time I'll find the labyrinth the king is looking for and see what I can get. One day, I'll follow Ao like a king and be a dragon man."

"Hmm."

Strengthened, but Taran snorts remorsefully.

"And a king is a eater, isn't he?

Because I regret it, Taran changes the subject.

"You know what? Even before that, I bought dozens of salts from merchants. You don't think there's a difference in salt like that?

"You, you don't know? Salt changes the way meat is."

"Oh...... you, no way!?

"The king asked me to taste the meat."

"You cheat!! Just you!!

"You're jealous, aren't you? But... the king doesn't drink."

"Speaking of booze, why is that scammer's old man the owner of the liquor store?"

"Call me Doctor."

"What's a teacher? That bastard, you're lumping in expensive liquor from a merchant, and you only give it to people who know how it tastes, but you hide it upstairs in a liquor store and you have cancer?

"Wahaha."

"That's not funny!

While I'm making a joke, I see the village.

"Narmo, let's go to the Mori woman."

"Nice."

It was initially a nameless kingdom where we exchanged in barter, but as a result of the gradual start of money circulation, several shops were now starting to build side by side. The Tarans are on their way to one of the stores.

"Mori, are you alive?

"I'm perfectly better than you."

An old lady with a crooked waist says back to Taran with a clear language on the back of her back from what she looks like.

Kids' treats are arranged in a narrow area in a shop that uses giant wooden caves. Outside and behind the store was even a place to sit and eat.

"Uh, it's Taran."

"There's Narmo too."

The children wrap themselves around the tarans.

"It must be Mr. Taran. Look, get out of the way."

"What the hell?"

"We're tired of working in the field. Give this place up to the elderly, you know what Narmo thinks?

"No, Taran is bad. Aren't you ashamed to push the kids away?"

"Huh?"

Taran turns a surprise eye to Narmo's attitude, which is different than usual.

"Narmo's right. Even the kids keep their order, but, yeah, what if you don't keep it?"

"I get it. You just have to wait, you just have to wait.

"What kind of mouth is that!

Taran, slapped on the head by a Mori woman, roars remorsefully as she "muddles". Seeing him like that, the kids grin at his fingers.

"It's finally our turn. All right, Molly, give me all the mushroom sticks in that bottle."

"No, you can't."

Like looking at a silly child, the Mori woman looks at Taran with pity.

"Huh? Why, I have money!

"Unless you have a special reason, you can buy up to five at a time."

"Don't be alone."

"Taran's an idiot."

"Everybody's gonna be gone."

Following the Mori woman, the children stand up all at once.

"It would be tyranny!

"What is tyranny? This pastry shop is left to me by the king."

"Gu...... Oh, it's a shame to give the king's name."

"Like you. There's a man who wants to buy money, and the king has a vision."

"Taran's bad"

"From just now to Narmo. What the hell! Something's wrong with you today!

"No, it's not weird. I'm always on the side of the kids."

"Damn, I get it. I'm the one who's evil. Mori, give me a mushroom stick and some lamb water."

"Ahhhhhhhh......" she sighed loudly, shaking her neck to the side, while the Mori woman handed Taran a mushroom stick and ram water.

"Ugh! I knew it would be great to combine a stick with lamb water."

Taran loves sweet, carbonated lamb water.

"Ah. Drink this rum full of water."

"You're a stupid kid. The lamb is made from carbonated water that springs from the trees of Zovda. Zovda trees are only native to special places, even in forest-based labyrinths. Even the royal family rarely speaks of a substitute, but you will now be punished for saying such a luxury!

He said, "Oh, my God, you're here."

"We're a bunch of people."

"I'm sorry about your grandmother. Don't."

Taran gets sick and tired of the kids calling Pippi.

"Let it go. I wanted to see both Mori and Kid. I guess I just said more easily that the lamb water drinks. I'm sure if we make booze with this, we'll be able to make a delicious drink. I wish the king was more interested in booze, too. Hey, don't Narmo think so, too?

"No, Taran's bad"

"Ahhhhh!? You, I knew it was crazy!!

Taran finally sticks up to Narmo, who's not how he always is.

"I'm no different than usual. Thank the king."

"Shit. Good boy, Bulya."

At that time, the person sitting in the back of the store and Taran meet each other.

"- Oh, the king?

"What the hell, Taran? If you're complaining about me, you can tell me directly."

"Hey... why are you here?

"I'll leave it to the Mori lady, but this is my shop. What's wrong with me? And you. I've been hearing about this for a while, but the way you talk to Mori women and kids..."

"That's right! That's what I thought! This guy doesn't really have a way of talking!!

Soon Narmo, who moved beside Yu, blames Taran.

"Narmo, you knew!

Taran, who had a cold and had a bad nose, didn't realize Yu was in the store. And Narmo must have noticed from the smell that Yu was there before he got to the store.

"Hey, Taran."

"Wow! Don't say anything unnecessary!!

Taran hastily blocks the mouth of the children trying to report to Yu.

"She's really stupid."

Is she as cute as a stupid kid? And Lady Mori was with Taran, and bowed her head unto Yu.
