Vermillion

99. Later

"The Duchy" Wolvern.

One of the biggest cities in the Principality. The houses and mansions of the nobles are nestled neatly around the Lords' castle, built on a small rocky mountain, and on its exterior, the streets of the general district are as cluttered as milk overflowing from the pot.

Such a corner of the city well - the inn "HungedBug" pavilion.

The first floor is also a tavern, and guests and regulars are busy at dusk.

"Ha-ha-ha, wait, two ales and an assortment of sausages and cheese."

"Jamie", a billboard daughter at the HungedBug Pavilion, was busy working today to clean up the accounts for her salary.

"Okay, I've been waiting."

"Jamie, you're always so cute"

"Yes, yes, thank you."

Jamie answers her nagging questions as she pacifies away her regular sexual harassment father's hands. Healthy wheat skin, glamorous shape, and quite beautiful Jamie on top are hot on the guy for better or worse.

"Ha - I wonder if there is a better man..."

but the guys who come by are mostly the ones who aren't even locks when ants flock to sugar treats, so he had his own grey days. Sometimes "Derrick", the owner of the inn as his adoptive father, gives a stare to bad bugs. The young man in that corner, when he gives his father's name, looks blue and runs away. I don't know what the hell you've done in the past.

"If he's a good guy, he's here too!"

Hearing Jamie talking to herself, her drunk red-faced father self-appealed.

"Yes, yes, good man, good man"

Jamie cleans up the dishes with a sigh mix. For now, I was fed up with a man who smelled like alcohol.

"- Oh, no. Did you hear that? Example stories"

"- Is that it? of the village of Vaak……………."

As I wipe the table, I hear the conversation of the guests in the corner of the tavern.

"Oh, my God, we're really talking about the Great Forest Lizard."

"I heard. I heard. Both of them, right?

"I heard I had three heads."

"Didn't the herd attack you?

"It's the end of the world!

Wahh and laughing men.

"…… So, in fact, what do you think?"

"The Great Lizard of the Forest is definitely out."

"I'm sorry about the people in Vaak Village. I was seriously pioneering it."

"The realm of [deep (avis)] was moving, wasn't it? Sooner or later."

When it comes to the topic of [deep], nature, dive into your voice and discuss it. It was a strange thing, and when they talked about it, they wanted to hear anything, and Jamie listened carefully, pretending to take the stubborn dirt off the table.

"Have two or three heads got a tail?"

"If it were true, we'd be making more fuss by now."

"But I pinched him in the ear saying he'd been crusaded together."

"That's no way, the army hasn't moved yet, right?

"But the Cornwell Chamber of Commerce is sending out a massive merchant force, to the south."

Everyone silently indulged in the words of the young pedestrian.

"Indeed, the tannery guild seemed busy today……."

A traveler-style man roars as he strokes his beard.

"But... who crusaded how?

"From what I've heard, thank God the Big Bear Killer has moved."

"The Big Bear Killer! The guy from that militant tournament."

"- What, you mean Kay?

The men looked surprised for a moment at Jamie, who accidentally pinched his mouth, but didn't look disgusted when the beauty waitress showed interest.

"Yes, Kay, the best hunter in the Principality."

"Are you a 'fan' too, miss?

He asked me to tease him, so Jamie just said he was out of his mind.

"Fans and nothing, I know you. I've been staying at HungedBug for a while.

Answering that, the men said, "Heh!" He embarked on an interesting journey.

"What was he like?

"That sounds like a huge big man."

"Are you really a bowman like knocking down a big bear with one blow?

"Hey..."

Asked, Jamie finds out. That's why I've never seen Kay deal with bows in person. Actually, even that much-talked militant tournament was busy working at the inn that day and not nearly watching the game.

"- My life..."

"Duh, what's wrong, lady, suddenly you have eyes like a dead fish..."

"No... it's okay. Right. Kay was definitely a big deal. Could it have been about 20 cm bigger than me? But it's not as big as" The Great Big Man, "you know, I've seen someone bigger in my stepfather's acquaintance."

Sometimes I didn't think Kay was so 'big' because Jamie is the taller one for a woman.

"I don't really know how powerful a bow is, but I always thought he was a good bowman with good arms. When I thought I was going out flat, I thought I'd come back with a bunch of rabbits in the meadow and use them for tomorrow's dinner. - I didn't know what to say."

"Ho ho. You've been staying here that long?

"Really? About two months?

"That's a long time. What have you been doing in the meantime?

The sight that came to mind when I was asked...

'Whoa, Irene, this salami is delicious. Here. "

"Ahm."

"Wow, do you have one to eat directly?"

"Mmm! Vanilla is working. This cheese is fantastic too."

"Oh, uh... hey, you're a little embarrassed here"

"Kay must have come first -! Here, eat, eat!

"Ah, um..."

Wherever you are, you get along well with your lover.

"Kuh!!

"What's wrong, lady all of a sudden, you're bleeding out of your lips......!?

"Yes, no...... it's fine. Yeah, I've been in the library looking into it since I won the martial arts tournament."

"Library huh?

The men looked at each other.

"What about the library... beyond the First Wall, is that it?

"That."

"I think the admission fee was very high…… gold coins……………"

"Uh, that's what you said."

"Hih, I can't imagine"

"What can the hunter do for the library..."

"What were you looking into with that kind of money?

"You said you were looking into some kind of inheritance."

Heritage......? and face to face again, even more bewildered men.

"Whatever such a thing…………………"

"Until I paid such a high price……"

"I mean, you're a hunter......?

"What different continent is Kay? He said he came from. He said he got lost in spiritual pranks or something. So he said," I'm looking for a way back home. "I couldn't find him in the end, or he said," I found out it's too far away to go home. "

"Hey, Jamie!

And a dummy voice came from the kitchen - I heard Derrick, my adoptive father.

"Don't talk forever, carry me fast!

"Ah, yes. Bye."

- If you keep screwing around, you'll definitely get lightning. Having so decided, Jamie left promptly and returned to work.

"Oh, wait, a stew of ale, distillery and ravioli."

Carrying a flaking plate, I think. I wonder what Kay is doing by now.

"The Great Forest Lizard" hunted - but if Kay says he shot down the "Great Bear" with one blow, he could certainly hunt even the legendary Land Dragon.

(I'm sure it makes a lot of money......)

The fur from the "Big Bear" was sold and the wings were much better. I'm sure even the "forest lizard" hunt will gain a great deal of wealth. It didn't seem like it was even full when I was imminent, and Derrick wouldn't say it anyway if it was Kay's opponent - if it wasn't for that lover's woman -

"Ha..."

I sighed. It's just vain to think of 'what if'.

"Good man, I don't know if he's here..."

Jamie's whining disappears amidst the hustle and bustle of the tavern -

†††

The village of Vaak.

After the crusade and dismantling of the "Forest Lizard", the pioneering village seemed to have regained its calm, but the travelers and bards who heard the rumors pushed over, and the seekers who had fled also began to enter the forest and even returned to the merchants who would trade them against them.

Furthermore, the return of evacuated village women and children overlaps, presenting a far more chaotic picture than before. Colorful tents were strewn around the village, and it was no longer becoming more of a small town than a pioneering village.

In such a corner of the village, there was a man who rented the village chief's house.

It's Joaquin.

Running ahead of anyone else as a bard, this man had his legendary missed and desperate colleagues on his ass, how to put this hero Tan into one song - roaring every day with a feather pen in one hand. The leading Kays have already returned to Satina, but before the legendary enthusiasm cooled, they decided that they should finish the legendary hero Tan in this legendary land, and remained in the village.

"Uhm..."

Beginning phrases, tunes, the activity of the characters - each one has too many elements to pack. Normally, these heroes, Tan, often 'just a little' foot color the facts, but there was no need for them to do anything about this one. As much as I want to tell the audience exactly what I witnessed myself.

"Mmmm..."

With reference, I drop my eyes on the note sheet. It's a collection of interviews with the characters after the crusade. Turn flat.

***

- Mr. Mandel, how do you feel

'For a moment, I took a breath. … I am relieved to have been successfully completed'

- You were assisting Kay here.

"There was no such thing as active activity, but I think I did my best."

- Do you have something you want to do now

"... I want to see my daughters waiting for me home soon"

- If we're gonna put this hunt together.

"It was the most difficult and glorious day of my life."

- What would you do if Kay asked me to help you with the katana again

'I will do my best, but in this one case I found out something called my height. Pray for peace in this village'

***

- You look tired, Mr. Killian.

"Oh... hey, maybe not. You're tired. '

- Do you have something you want to do now

'Especially. I just want to drink slowly. "

- What are you going to do in the future

"Asi thought I'd go home. I'm retired from walking in the woods... shall I? Embarrassing story, I'm a little scared to go in the woods. '

- Hometown, sir?

"I've been gone for years... I can't leave for decades. I thought I'd thrown it away - but fortunately, I got plenty of rewards, and it's easy for me to live quietly. '

***

- Mr. Gordan, how do you feel now?

'Still... looks like I'm even dreaming about it. I can't believe you're alive.'

- That spear, it was brilliant. That was very helpful.

"It is only with the guidance of the Great Spirit of the Wind. It's not my strength '

- If we're gonna put this hunt together.

"I'm proud to have fought with Kay."

- If he asks me to help him again,

"Absolutely Join"

***

- You did it, Mr. Rodolfo.

"Oh, I can handle it! It's good to have you back alive!

- How are you feeling right now

'That's generally satisfying! I felt weak and itchy, but I'm glad it helped me at the end. I think I've done my best!

- Do you want to do something from now on

'Actually... I've kept one woman waiting. I was about to apply for a marriage. Thanks to this big hunt, we had a good souvenir story. The money was spent on rewards, and it's a good thing!

- Congratulations.

'Thanks! Thanks!!

- So, who are you getting married to?

"Um! It's Sandra. We met two years ago."

***

"Hmm, you asked too much about something that had nothing to do with Rodolfo......"

Joaquin then sighs with a note aside that Rodolfo's love story continues to extend. At the behest of the same people of Haibara (España), the story continued to play.

"Even when it comes to digging, there are limits..."

I've been thinking too much and I think I'm getting hot air out of my head. The room I'm renting, I roll over into a small bed and try to cool my head off.

"You should be able to make something better... a famous song that will be sung to future generations..."

And in the finished dawn, you order the magic props from Eileen, and the synergy between the song and the shadow painting will make a lifetime of it.

"Uh-huh..."

The bard thinks alone.

The fever in your head is not going to go down for the time being.

†††

Around that time, on the other hand, an accommodation district in northern Wolvern.

In one of the rooms where the lights of the lamp swayed, business negotiations were quietly under way.

"Thank you for your time today."

"No, no, this way."

One is a well-dressed, nervous middle-aged man. And face to face, across the low table - it's one raven stopping on the back of the chair.

"With regard to the terms of the contract, as per the letter sent beforehand -"

"Oh, I checked the translation. I don't think there was any particular problem. '

"That's above all. Just in case, I'd like to make a verbal confirmation."

"Please."

The man is manipulating the official language, and the raven is manipulating the snowflake language (Ruski), but there is no difficulty in communicating. Because the hands of the shadows reach out from the pendants of the crystals placed on the table, drawing shadow letters on the walls to translate each language.

'No, this is really handy!

Once again a raven with an exclamation. Its name is' Vasily-Solokov '. He is a magician of the Snowflake People's Death Bird (Prague). It is possessed by one of the demons of use, not the main body, by the way.

"I agree."

A well-dressed man nodding with a smudged face is a merchant at the Cornwell Chamber of Commerce. He had been sent to this lodging district today to sign some contracts with Vasily. Vasily's buffer city of Dylannylen and the midpoint of Wolvern were chosen.

"Thanks to you, we had a good relationship."

Absolutely.

Two people laughing at each other in a flamboyant way. But in fact, Vasily doesn't care much about the Cornwell Chamber of Commerce itself. Because even the Gabrilov Chamber of Commerce, to which I currently belong, adequately covers the cost of research.

With a Cornwell Chamber of Commerce handout, you might get a rare bird that doesn't live on the northern earth - though I expect it to be, that's just an aside. Vasily's aim was to keep the pipes connected to the Cornwell Chamber of Commerce so that she could communicate regularly with Eileen.

("Absolutely, it's a lot of technical skill… I didn't know you'd be able to complete so many magic items easily.")

Vasily drops her gaze on the demonic props of translation while hammering at the words of the merchant.

('You say you're still young... and you're going to be jealous of the boulders')

This was the case before when we discussed it at the Tea Party, but the knowledge of witchcraft held by Eileen and her accompanying Kay is quite sophisticated. I want to absorb that at all - I want to take it into my own research as well. If you belong to the same chamber of commerce and set up contacts, you may also be able to engage in magic rigging. Such intellectual curiosity and greedy exploration led to this contract.

"- So what do you say?"

'Oh, yeah. Not a problem as far as I'm concerned.'

"Thank you very much. So..."

'-But I have one question… [the contractor endeavours not to participate voluntarily in hunting or other events where there is a risk of death or injury], is this text really necessary…?

"Oh, is that it?"

To Vasily's point, the merchant laughs bitterly.

"As a matter of fact, Lord Vasily knows the magicians of our Chamber of Commerce."

Are you talking about Irene and Kay?

"That's right. As a matter of fact, the other day, a" forest lizard "appeared in the pioneering village outside Wolvern. They went to your crusade."

'Huh?'

For a moment, Vasily doubted the mistranslation, but as far as this text goes - I mean, I guess that's what it is.

'So this text... No, what happened to you two more than that?

"You're safe. Instead, they took out two of the Great Forest Lizards.

'Huh? Two heads............!?

To the raven stopping on the back of the chair and circling his eyes, the merchant man thought ridiculously, (birds get so expressive too), etc.

"Thanks to you, our chamber of commerce is a little bit preoccupied with the material."

'That is…… awesome. But no way, just the two of us on a crusade?

Knowing Kay's strong bow, and his horse thief opponent's death fight, Vasily thought those two might do it.

"No, working with local residents and aspiring people on boulders."

'And that's a big deal. No... it's lame.'

"Totally, I agree"

No more, a smudging merchant.

"That's why we added this text."

"Sure, if you die just to invest, the Chamber of Commerce will take care of you."

Well I don't need to worry, so rest assured Vasily, the merchant man laughed furiously. I'm going to be in charge of Vasily at Wolvern Branch in the future, but I'm going to be doing well with this magician, and I secretly stroke my chest down.

"So if you don't mind signing the contract,"

"I know the phase. …… ah '

Pi, and Vasily, who moved onto the table, makes a face called 'Shit'. The merchant also notices late. I wondered how I would sign with this raven.

"Ahhh... that's it. He lent me an ink kettle, and I managed it with my hook and nail. '

"Ah, Yes...... this way please"

'Thank you. No, but you write letters with your legs? It's quite a bone...'

Standing on one leg on a low table, Vasily struggling. A merchant who rushes to hold on so that the paperwork doesn't get sloppy.

"Ahhh, the ink spilled!

"Ah my contract!!

Fortunately, there was no one to peek at, although it was a fountain from the side, as if one and one of them were struggling.

The business talks, which began quietly, thus came to a busy end.
