Saikyou Juzoku Tensei ~Cheat Majutsushi no Slow Life~ Chapter 36

Chapter 36

After throwing off my clothes behind, I headed to the Trading Square with Gizel .

s.h.i.+bi being so close to the crowds, we could easily find him .

s.h.i.+bi was sitting on a carpet made of demon skin and was getting smaller .

On the carpet, there is a bag of hemp containing a incense leaf, and a cart for carrying things to be exchanged and received, beside it .

I look around .

It was said that an acquaintance of s.h.i.+bi’s who was helping to take up the place was coming, but I didn’t see him .

“What’s up, s.h.i.+bi? You could have sold it to me first . ”

As I said that, s.h.i.+bi’s face has turned red .

“Be-Be… Because… Because…”

s.h.i.+bi glanced off to the side as he stammered .

I follow the tip of s.h.i.+bi’s gaze .

Next to him was a trio led by Noswell .

They were putting out what looked like a simple stall out of wood .

In front of the stalls, there is a long line of people .

Chibi negotiates impatiently and Noppo organizes what he has received .

They seems to be very busy .

The Karlko family does not approve of the magic ore as a currency subst.i.tute that the Chief is trying to infiltrate .

The reason that the magic ore currency has not been penetrated much since the beginning is largely due to the refusal of the Karlco family and their faction to exchange it for the incense incense leaf, which is the easiest to carry and has a stable value in this settlement .

It seems that the Chief and the Karlco family don’t get along very well .

Because of this, all negotiations were bartering, and each one seemed to take time and effort .

I’m sure there is a yardstick of value for each one, but I don’t think Noppo usually comes to the exchange square .

I was dismayed every time I was served something unusual .

Noswell sits down, occasionally shouting at the two of them .

Sometimes he even yells at his customers .

The content wasn’t very productive, like advice, it’s either “If you’ve got a problem, then get out!” Or “Hurry it up!” .

And he often glares at me with a p.i.s.sed off look .

No, you need to work, too .

Those two…they really seem to be having a hard time…… . .

s.h.i.+bi’s shrinking seems to be due to the lines that have formed in front of Noswell’s stalls .

He’s not going to look very good because he’s trying to get the Karlco family to fight with him head on .

I guess it can’t be helped that the initial image is bad .

s.h.i.+bi’s acquaintance may have been unable to bear this gaze and ran away .

”A, Abel-san, isn’t this position a problem? I’m getting a lot of stares at me…………… . ”

“Of course it is . The reason why this place has been vacant from the start must be because they didn’t want to upset the Karlco family in any case, so everyone avoided it . To set up a stall with the same kind of products is like jumping into a fire with oil . Even I would have chickened out and s.h.i.+ed away . ”

It’s not easy to be the first to take that as a blessing . I’m seeing you in a new light, s.h.i.+bi .

“Then it’s no good! Then it’s no good! That’s why I suggested we should change the day! Please don’t blame it on me now!”

s.h.i.+bi, half-crying, comes around my neck .

Stop, stop, because it’s really painful .

“No, I’m just kidding! Let’s start the exchange right away . Alright?”

However, even though it hasn’t started yet, I can’t believe there isn’t a single person in line .

Here, there are probably a lot of people gathering for the incense leaf, and I thought it would cause direct damage to the Calco family … Did it backfire .

If you get too close they’ll blatantly start hara.s.sing and It is clear even to the customers .

They were afraid that if they were to line up here they might be noticed by the Kalko family .

It was a little shallow, wasn’t it?

But it’s also big when you get hit .

I’m not here to earn a little pocket money .

I’ve come to chip away at the power of the Karlco family to keep Gizel out of his hands .

It can only be a huge success or a huge failure .

“I’m going to head home . Gizel, let’s go . Sibby, you need to keep the store moving . ”

“Hey, hey, hey! You’re going to put me in a place like this all by myself again!? You want me to start selling in this situation! I was so extremely lonely!”

“I’ll be back soon……… I’ve left my preparations at home . ”

“I can’t do it… I, I’m afraid my heart will break if I stay here alone any longer… . . ”

s.h.i.+bi emphasized the word “alone” and then glanced at Giselle .

Well, it can’t be helped .

Gizel .

“Yes, Brother, what is it?”

s.h.i.+bi’s face lights up when she overhears me and Gizel’s conversation .

“Go home, and pick up the ortem that I left yesterday . The blue one and the red one . ”

“Please leave it to me!”

s.h.i.+bi dropped her shoulders in dismay .

Giselle rushed off towards the house alone .

Sibby looked back at it with a forlorn expression on his face .

“I … Isn’t it … wasn’t it like Gizel-chan was left here, and the brother-in-law went to get it that kind of flow…?”

Who’s your brother-in-law .

“Hey, hey, don’t give me too much credit . If you run with two Autem’s, you’ll fall down and get stuck on the road . ”

“…… That’s right . ”

You can use magic to move them, but it would be dangerous if you had two Ortems running around the village .

I originally sent Giselle to an ortem that is not supposed to be moved .

No gimmicks have been made to enable quick reactions .

If a guy like Philo jumps in, there’s going to be contact .

I stare at Noswell in the back of the stall .

Noswell opened his legs and crossed his arms, yelling at his two cronies with a grunt .

You know what I mean! It’s not a matter of “If you mess up on the exchange, you lose money” or anything like that! I’ve been told by my father not to move from a set value! No bottom, no top! If you do this at random, you’ll be d.a.m.ned! Well, I’d rather be doing this on my own than this!

Oh, so you’re on your own right now .

Apparently, the little guy made a mistake in the negotiations .

If that’s the case, maybe Noswell should have corrected it right away, but there’s no reason for me to interfere .

Let’s watch with warm, raw eyes .

Apparently, Noswell wants to sell a bundle of five leaves as the equivalent of a piece of magical beast’s fur .

It’s hard to say for sure because of the discrepancy in value, but in j.a.pan it’s about 5,000 yen .

This time, the one that the Karlco family is displaying at the stall seems to be a new product, and it seems that they have raised the price significantly from the past .

By the way, a bunch of five leaves is enough for a day .

There are many people who buy them in bundles of about ten bundles .

Noppo receives a large amount of supplies and piles them into the back of the stall .

I’m on the verge of getting a puncture with a replacement before the incense leaf sell out .

I don’t know what he’s going to do with all that money he’s saving .

Well, I guess it’s about time that we started moving .
