Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.

When you enter the village, you notice a lot of merchants in a very vibrant place.

A lot of merchants?

"This village was built by merchants as a resting place."

Really?

Hülina's powers of inquiry are amazing...

"From here, further northeast, there is a large city called Rangibi.The city is rich in nature and famous for its crops.It's no exaggeration to say that all the crop-related food around here comes from the Range Bi. "

Heeh...

"Conversely, since Tuco is a city close to the sea where seafood is harvested, there is a thriving flow of merchants between Ranvi and Tuco.

But the mountains that we came through, because horses can't pass, it's customary to keep horses here and walk across the mountains. "

"I wish I'd made it closer to the mountains..."

The mountains are two days' walk away.It feels pretty far away...

"I think if we build a village at the foot of the mountains, we can get off the horse and get into the mountain road right away...But it's the monsters who dare to distance themselves. "

"I've hardly seen any monsters so far...?"

"Even if it's a simple monster for Sinya, it's a threat to us merchants.

Near the mountains, there are quite a few monsters coming out, but since there are no monsters around here, they have made it a village. "

"Because many merchants can't fight, is that normal?

Why is there no monster around here? "

"There's a flock of plants around here called Nigatsume grass.Er... ah! This is it! "

That's how Hulina points her finger at the ground.

Looks like it's about ten centimeters long... or is it closer to an aloe?Thick leaves grow plants that are jagged around them.

"Needlefish...? I've never heard of it."

"I've only heard of it once in the past.

I thought you were talking about plants that monsters hate... "

Nil seems to have heard of it somewhere.

"That's right. They say you hate the smell… but people and insects don't know, and they don't really like the smell.

However, it is true that the monsters do not stop by, and it seems that there are few monsters nearby.However, it's hardly as effective as never stopping by, and there are rare monsters that come by, so it seems that adventurers stationed in the village will crush them at that time. "

As far as Hülina's story goes, she's probably right about the bear-avoiding bell.

If that happens, it's dangerous to trust too much.

"If you pull it out or cut it, it seems like it will wither away immediately, so I can't carry it with me, so it seems like I built a village here.

Shinya said that she had never heard of plants, but I think there are more people who have never heard of them, because they are rare plants. "

"Well, I guess I'm not out of my common sense."

"Until I heard about it in the city of Chuko, I only had... that much knowledge of plants.As a merchant, you study every day.

So it seems that this village had to be built here. "

"This is the best place for merchants."

"Yes."

If you look closely, you can be convinced that there are grass plants around the village and even inside the village, and it is said to be a herd area.

The trees are also moderately felled and the view is good, but the monsters aren't there, and they actually seem to work.

"I'm sorry I can't carry it."

"Yes... but after all, we merchants who can't fight may not change much because we only have to borrow the help of adventurers."

Either way, if you hire an adventurer, whether a monster comes out or not, it won't change much...There aren't any high-ranking monsters around here, and it's a good place to earn money for adventurers.

"Besides... I think we can handle the horses here."

There are a number of small villages dotted around, besides the village where I am now, because of the grass that grows around here.But the reason Hulina dared to choose this place was because of the horse arrangement.

Since all the merchants come here by carriage, there are horses in this village so many more than there are people.

Some traders change horses here, so the number of horses should be greater than absolutely necessary.Horses would be easy to arrange.

As expected, all I had to do was find a horse and walk a little, and the horse arrangement was completed immediately.

It may have been because of Hulina's negotiating skills, but the horse was cheap and easy to acquire.

"I thought it would take more time, but I was able to arrange it right away..."

The carriage is in the inventory, and all we have to do is hook up and run.

"I've arranged for a horse, and now I'm looking for Hulina."

"If you buy it in a place like this, it will be expensive, so you have to minimize it."

"This is my fault, and I have the payment, so can you get as much as you need?"

"Well, that's for the boulder..."

"Hulina knows best how profitable I am, doesn't she?"

"Let's see...Don't hesitate to come! "

Hulina puts her hands with her fists.

I'm not going bankrupt... am I?

There's no need to worry about it, and even if I say I should prepare more, I'm sorry, but I'll add one or two more items.It would be a merchant's honor to receive it as a clear consideration, but it seems that I am not accustomed to buying it.

Ultimately, Mr. Hulina was in a state where Nil helped her and bought as much as she needed.

After lunch with Mr Hulina, who seems sorry, and gathering information in the village, we prepared a carriage and left the village, and we decided to go north-northeast.

The destination is a city called Rangebi, which Hulina talked about.

I don't intend to stay, but I want to buy information on the journey to the magical world.I also wanted to explore the trends of the Demons and the Holy Knights... so I decided to go for the Rangebi, which is a big city.

"It's been a long time since we've had a carriage."

Watch from the cargo bay as the horses kick the ground.

It is not a lie to say that walking is not painful, but it is easy and fast for a carriage to go on its own without moving.

"There was a rat, so I didn't have any trouble moving."

"I miss that fufu, too."

"Fufufu, I see."

Nil laughs while he is in power.Hulina is passionate about the bamboo knitting she has been doing the other day.

Some have already been completed, but it is not quite as complete as I think, and it is being tried and mistaken.

"It's easy to knit, but it looks like you'll need to get used to it."

"That's right... I'm sure anyone can do it, but I think it's better to leave it to someone with experience for a long time.

You might want to leave it to the craftsmen.

I don't know this kind of thing unless I actually move my hand, and I think it would be better to ask some craftsmen to compare it. "

I can't believe you're even thinking about it while weaving bamboo… Hülina is really good.The day when bamboo products are seen in the market may not be far away.

For a while, as you walk northeast with the sound and wind of the horse, you reach a place where only the sea turtle grass grows densely between the trees.

"This place is amazing. It's full of lice grass."

"It's getting dark, so why don't we make this a campsite today?"

"Yes, I understand."

Nil stopped the carriage and tied the horse to the edge of the Nigusumae herd fabric.

Spider grass is different from ordinary grass, it is a little stiff, so you can't sleep on it.However, it seems that there are other people who use this place, and the middle part of the area where the sea turtle grass grows about 100 meters in diameter is in a clean and more land state.Perfect for setting up campsites.Definitely camped here.

If you look closely, you can also see some traces of fire.

"Looks like it's used as a relay point."

"It doesn't seem to be a lot, but there are a few of these dense spots of sea turtle grass between them and the range.For us who don't know the place at all, it depends on our luck to meet it. "

"Did you hear that in the village?"

"Yes."

Hulina communicated with a lot of people and gathered information.It must be one of the pieces of information.

In this world, there are few communication devices and few ways to obtain information.Therefore, the information is also money.There is a man called an informant in a big city, and when he pays, he gives me all sorts of information.

Because it's such a world, merchants don't talk to each other about information.

But, according to Hulina, the hurdles drop slightly between merchants, and they talk a lot.On the other hand, we explore profitable stories by sharing information that has strong implications for information exchange and is likely to be beneficial to each other.

Information flies about where the economy is in the north, where the famine is in the east, and where the food can be sold.A place where merchants gather is probably an on-parade of useful information for merchants.

It seems almost impossible to get caught...If you do that in that village, every merchant will see you with white eyes, and all the horizontal connections will vanish.That means you won't be able to do business around here.There are no strangers who wish for such things themselves, and unless there are any other reasons, all the information is trustworthy.Conversely, it's better not to talk here than about information that you can really trust.Even if you don't feel like it, it could be a big deal later.

That's why Hulina, a merchant, asked me a lot of questions about whether it would be better to collect information than we do on the customer's side.

"Speaking of what I just heard in the village, the Knights of the Holy Order seem to have grown up lately, don't they?"

"Sounds like it. That's what I heard.The battle seems to be going on, but it doesn't seem to be killing everywhere like it was before. "

"Is there a reason?"

"I don't know... there seemed to be something in each of them, but I didn't really know why."

"I've also heard stories that we're gathering soldiers to key points, and it could be a premise for something big to happen."

"I don't like it..."

The Names seem to be pursuing their investigation, but the Holy Knights' intentions are still not clear.

It's as quiet as it was before the storm, scared... but it can't be shrinking in fear.We have no choice but to do what we can.

Incidentally, I heard a lot about the magic world, but no one knew it.Even the Magic Realm is quite far away physically, and it will be difficult to acquire information around here.

"I didn't know about the Knights of the Holy Order... but I heard a rumor recently about the Ranvi from some merchants."

"What's the rumor?"

"Anything, there's been a lot of strange incidents in the city of Ranvi lately.

According to the merchants, recently walking through the city of Rangibi in the middle of the night was attacked by someone who appeared from nowhere. "

"It's such a vague rumor... it's worse than telling a child what to say?"

"I thought so too, but the attacker actually talked to me."

You were in that village?Weren't they attacked? "

"That's what's said to be strange, but the attacker remembers that he was attacked, but he doesn't remember who attacked him or how."

"That's what I'm talking about..."

Nil, who finished taking care of the horse, joins the conversation.

"Everyone who heard the story had the same reaction as Nil, but as far as I could see, he didn't seem to be lying."

Hulina is a professional businessman.And it's amazing. You can tell to some extent if you're lying.Beyond that, is it true that the person who told the story is a good liar or not really a liar?

If it is the latter, it is indeed a strange story.

"Any injuries, anything stolen?"

"No, actually, none of the people who were attacked were injured or lost.Besides, people who are attacked have nothing in common, regardless of gender or occupation. "

"That's a weird story..."

Normally, when you attack a person, it's a grudge, a pickup, or whatever it is, it's for some purpose.

I didn't get injured or lose anything.Since I have forgotten how I was attacked and what happened, if I were to say it forcefully, would it mean that I have lost my memory?

Psychological interference system magic?

"Is there any magic that can manipulate memories?"

Spiritual interference magic is just like applying light hypnosis to an opponent.I've never heard of the magic of pulling out only certain memories.

However, if it was magic.

Very recently, I learned of my ability to manipulate memory.

Yes, the magic eye of Kohar, the manipulative eye.

With that ability, you can interfere with the other person's memory to a certain extent.In fact, Garak's memory was erased by Kohar.

"I know someone who can do that.I don't think that's impossible. "

"When that happens... do you still mean that people do it?

In the city, rumors are spreading that there are high-ranking humanoid monsters who are responsible for the monsters. "

"If you become such an intelligent monster, you will definitely be an SS ranked monster.I don't think there's a lot of people in a big city that don't notice that level of monsters. "

I don't know if I can get rid of the signs, but SS ranked monsters have an absolute presence.All of them feel instinctively like they shouldn't confront each other.

If they're in town, they're not adventurers, but they're crazy!Should be a lot of noise.

The SS ranked monsters are still so strong that they don't have to bother to turn off the signs.

"If you think so... there is still a thick line called someone else's work.

Who the hell is doing that for? "

"It could be the Knights of the Holy Order... I don't know.I don't know what the purpose is, but it's hard to identify it...

I don't know what the crime is, even if I catch the person who might have attacked me. "

"When they tell me... I don't have any injuries, nothing stolen, just memories of being attacked, so I can't prove whether I was attacked... if I insist that I don't know, I can't be held guilty."

"Even if something is stolen, there is a possibility that its memories have been erased, but if they don't remember, they won't be able to talk."

"Is it true that something was stolen?If we can do that, it's going to be hard to catch extra. "

"Gotcha! I think I'm standing on a land I don't know when I notice it the next moment... what a surprise."

"I'm scared..."

If the opponent was a Knights of the Holy Order and was moving towards something, he would have been enslaved if he had noticed... or dead before he knew it.Those guys are fine with that.

"We're in a hurry, and we're not staying in the range, so it's none of our business."

"That's right... I hope so..."

Nil? What's the meaning of that?

"... I feel like I'm always getting into trouble like this..."

You think I've flagged you as disgusting...?

I'm in a hurry now, and I don't have time to flag it like that...

With a glimmer of anxiety, I fell asleep that day.

The next day.

"Sinya and Nil stay back, because I'll be in charge in the morning."

Me and Nil are in the cargo bay, sweet to Hulina.

I was making a life game that I was thinking about the other day.

"Master, is this the right place?"

"Ah, yeah, that's right.It's a hypothetical product, and I'll try to use it around it and fix it. "

Nil is asking for the creation of tokens and items to be used in life games.Money takes the form of coins or some ingenuity, but it's basically the same as what I've seen in Japan.

I will create a map with the base mass engraved with tree magic and write down the letters.In the meantime, in order to show Hulina, the world life game is on hold.I intend to make it personally at a later date.

For that reason, this time, I tried to make it an adventurer life game.I can say that's the only thing I can make with my knowledge...

For a moment, I thought it would be interesting for Nil to make a game of slave life, but it was going to be too sad, so I kept it in my heart.
