Transition to Another World, Landmines Included

"Hey, Nao, get up"

"... huh?

Early the next morning, as I was slumbering, my body was shaken and my eyes opened.

What was in front of me was Toya's face, not the wolf's ear......

"Oh, my God, you don't have morning practice or anything."

Slightly sleep deprived during escorts, in relation to long journeys, alternating and requiring guarding.

For this reason, while staying at the inn, I decided not to train in the early morning, etc., and to get up freely.

If you turn your eyes, the Halka and Natsuki beds, which mostly get up earlier than me, also remain buried.

If you look at the window, the sun is already rising, but it's definitely early in the morning to see the angle.

"Wake up early even at a time like this, Toya, how much..."

If we don't get rid of the lack of sleep, we're gonna lose our performance, okay?

Complaining with that in mind, I pull up the futon and dive into it.

But it doesn't look like he cared about my behavior, and Toya pulls my futon.

"No, it's important, what is it? I found something that looks like rice."

"Seriously!?"

Then I have no choice.

I immediately jump to Toya's critical remarks, and my voice grows louder.

He hurriedly held his mouth and looked at the Hulkas, but he just wandered a little and nobody had anything to wake him up about.

"So, naturally, you did secure it, right?

Lurking his voice and checking with Toya, Toya shakes her head with a slightly troubled look.

"No, that's... for once, you should talk to the Hulkas, right? So I didn't buy it."

"Bakka! What if we sell out!

"I'm probably not worried about that. There were a lot of them, and they usually arrive.... Well, come"

"Oh, of course!

I have no effort to spare for rice.

I quickly changed my clothes and left for the morning market to be guided by Toya...

"Rice, right?

"Maybe? You understand my hesitation, don't you?

"Oh... this is a little trouble, isn't it?

An outdoor shop on the corner of the morning market.

There, packed in a hemp bag and lined up with rice in a state of cake.

However, the size is completely different.

The shape is closer to Japonica rice than Thai rice and the like, but the longitudinal size clearly exceeds one centimeter.

"This is more about beans than rice in size, isn't it?

"Oh, sure, that sounds like it!

Refined rice would make it somewhat smaller, but the image would be small grain natto sized rice, right?

What did you look like serving this in a tea bowl... Uh-huh, depending on the taste?

I can forgive everything if it tastes good.

But is it really rice?

I'm pretty sure it's a plant of the Ineidae family...

"You were here earlier, weren't you? Did you think you'd buy it?

The guy with the store number is about thirty.

It's probably a merchant who specializes in grain because all the other people in line are grain.

"No, I was going to talk to him. How do you eat this?

"Hmm? It's common to crush and simmer appropriately. I have a preference because I drop it... Don't even use it to cook dreary dishes. Oh, sure, you're gonna skin it, aren't you?

Do you want to drop it?

Does that feel like porridge to you?

"Can I get a grain?

"Oh, I wouldn't mind a grain, would I?

If you ask a man for permission, take a grain of hand, and strip the crust, it's the brown rice that comes out - what looks like.

When you scrape the "plush" part of the bran with your nails, translucent rice appears.

"Sounds pretty sure except for the size...... how much is this?

"Then five big silver coins in a bag."

Does the bag range in size from 20 to 30 km?

Then it's not that expensive.

Try sticking your hand in the bottom of the bag and stirring it, it doesn't look like sand or stones are mixed, or stuffing the crude product there.

"Come on, you don't have to worry, there's no one in this town to fool you, all right? If they find him, they'll kick him out in one shot."

The man in the store smiles bitterly when he sees me like that.

It is a must check when buying at an outdoor store like this...

"Is it tough?

"Oh, that's tough. Sometimes they check it out. Plus, pretend to be a regular customer. Naturally, you can't even switch between what you show and what you sell."

Really, it's just the ease of doing business...

"All right, let's buy it and go home and talk to the Hulkas. They're the ones who make it. I can't help it if we're worried."

"Right. About this time, it doesn't hurt to fail. Grandma, give me a bag."

"Every time!"

When Toya offers five large silver coins, the man who receives them ties up the mouth of the rice bag I checked properly and gives Toya the whey.

I think it's pretty heavy...... I guess I just deal with grain and I have the strength.

"By the way, is there any other kind?

"Of course. He's the smaller one. Big ones are about twice the size of a grain. Um, around here."

Is it a lid replacement, or if you take a few of the monkeys that were covered on the bag, it was definitely the rice that was about two turns larger (?).

If the rice earlier is small grain natto, is this a large grain natto?

"Can I check this, too?

"I don't mind. He's a different kind."

It looks like large, medium and small grains.

When I peel the shell, it doesn't make much difference except that the large grains look white.

Large grains of whiteness also look that way simply because they are big, to such an extent that they seem convincing if you ask me.

"What do we do?

"Why don't you just buy it and go home? That's not a big forehead. Grandma, how much?

"It's all five big silver coins. - Yeah, but the quantity's different, right?

Specifically, the small grains are the same as what Toya bought, but the medium grains are a little less, and the large grains are even less than that.

This is quite the way things are sold in this world, and it is often not "how much for ten kilos" or anything, but "the amount you can buy for a single large silver coin" or something like that.

It is difficult to compare prices, but it is easy to handle and calculate coins.

The fact that there are few small coins with less than ten rarities in circulation, and that there are not many ordinary people who can calculate, is probably a big part of what has to be done.

"Well, let's have it all."

When I give one gold coin five large silver coins, the man joyfully tightens his shitty and bag mouth, lifting the bag and wandering his gaze between me and Toya.

"Two bags over there. I'll hold this."

"Oh, yeah? Brother, you're powerful. That's the Beast Man!

I guess there's absolutely nothing to include about the race.

When the man grinned nicely, he gave two bags to Pompom and Toya, and I lifted a bag containing large grains.

Should be the lightest, I chose, but this is still over 20km. Right...?

"Oh, I'm the three bags. No, I can hold it."

There won't be up to a hundred kilometers, but Toya stacks it over one shoulder and lightly bears it.

Nothing. I can have another bag or so...

I paid three times as much as Toya.

"I see. When they say that, I'm going to have to hold my stuff!

If this rice can be eaten deliciously, they'll get it out of their common expenses.

"Brothers, if you like it, come back and buy it! Every morning at the market, I'm expanding my shop here."

"Oh, I'll be sure to drop by again if it tastes good"

We said goodbye to the man with the store number who would smile and drop him off because we bought a lot, and we went to the inn looking at the morning market wondering if there was anything else to dig up.

During the day yesterday, there were many dewstores lined up on both sides of the road where there were not even stalls, and many products, mainly groceries, were sold.

Compared to Hulka and the others, we go to the morning market less often, but there is also a lot of food that we have never seen, which makes us feel active distribution.

"The assortment is good after all"

"Right. There are many fruits..."

There are few fruit sales per se except at certain times in the first place, but there are many kinds of fruits lined up here in abundance.

Of course, the overall price is expensive, but it can be said that this much can be arranged, which in itself demonstrates the good distribution of this town.

"Oh, the dry dindle is - high!

Just one, two thousand rare.

It's the same price as all the rice I just bought, but the difference is as much between heaven and earth in terms of bellies.

"Does this mean that if we bring it, we can sell it for about that much?

"Maybe, but do you want to sell it? Come all the way here."

"... no, yeah"

Thinking about last year, I think it would be profitable to be (...) made (...) made (...) made (...).

If we make sure we have what we eat, maybe a few hundred gold coins at most?

Given the distance so far, for that amount of time, it would be better to sperm out another hunt.

"But let it be. This should definitely bring the Hulkas. If we do well, our meals will be even better."

"Oh. There's all kinds of spicy stuff... maybe we can have curry or something?

"Curry! That's Japanese wheelie!

"Oops. If you have a troublesome classmate, if you feed on curry...?

"Nice idea! If it's a set of rice, there's nothing to say!

Of course, that makes hostile classmates suddenly friendly, I don't think it's in easy mode, but if you eat good food, you'll feel better.

It will be easier to negotiate, etc.

"Let's go home, then! If we're going to take them around anyway, it doesn't make sense to just look at us."

"Right. Rice is also plain heavy. Hurry up."

I didn't dare bring the magic bag, so you two stay in charge of the rice bag.

Toya doesn't seem to care much, but she's never light.

Once I grated the rice bag and restocked it on the opposite shoulder, I rushed Toya to the inn somewhat early.
