ED: Unedited

Sorry for the wait.

Thank you again, please look after me for this year as well.

「This is the only wind-chasing feather of the thunder cloud bird that is said to only inhabit the Chikin Mountain range! With this wing its possible to gain lightning resistance, but if you were to use it to convert it into a ornament with your workmanship, it could become a powerful ornament! If this wing were to be sold to the nobility then it would fetch a 100 gold coins at the cheapest. but only for the people of Nameless kingdom i will sell it specially for 90 Gold coins! No, how about 80 gold coins ? This is the amount which only i can provide due to the trade route that i own myself!」

「Please look at the sophistication at this silver work.

Can you see how splendid the work is on them? The silver tableware arranged here are from Bonkari workshop which only make a 100 sets a year.

Nobles, nonono.

Even the imperial family were to be kept waiting to obtain, how long do you think they would have kept us waiting」

「This not the actual application of the fruit there are several application other than this one.

This is an item which is brought back from the 『Huge Philcy Trees 』which lies to the north east of the Set Republic.

Please watch! The real application of this fruit!! This is actually a fruit jewel which shines in several colours depending on how light is applied to it.

Therefore, this is not a superficial thing to have.

And moreover because a group of rank 6 samaru barteru constant patrol and protect trees which hold the jewel fruit」

「A magical book, an unused one at that.

It is not a magic book below the first rank or the second rank.

It is magic book the of the Third Rank.

For this how about 200 gold coins?」

「Fhahaha.The articles of the other people are splendid, but the article that i have prepared shall not lose.This bow right here is made from a branch of the Tenshin Han, which is found only in the labyrinth of 『Shirinko』near the Set Republic inhabited by large catfish, the bow body is said to hold a tree spirit.Common people can never pull the chord of the bow, but if there are extraordinary people who excel in physical abilities then maybe they can master it?」

In a stone building which was not small in any sense of the word, it was filled with merchants trying to show of their goods.

They were the same items which they brought out a while ago.

Every one of them were lavishly presenting his or her best goods to get a better evaluation.

「Hahhaa.Satou-sama, please have a look.Everyone is putting out there most treasured items so that they can raise the ratings from Satou-sama of the Nameless kingdom.」

When Viktor saw the merchants who were brought by him finally starting to get down to business, he stroked his moustache satisfactorily.

「By the way, i can't seem to find Namari-chan anywhere ?」

「Since there would be disturbance around i let her go to the 『Great Goblin Forest』.Besides, you people are not good for her education」

「Mago-dono, I told you this」

「Hohoho, i thought it was Vilktor who satou-sama was talking about」

Mago had gotten used to handling Viktor, and cleverly dodged that remark.

As if being hurt, Viktor exaggeratedly said 『How terrible of you』(Imagine this in a girly tone).

Looking at the funny figure, mago lowers his head gratifyingly while drinking the alochol.

But, this is the very technique of Viktor, which mago had not noticed yet.

「Even so 『Great Gobling forest』is surely a B-rank labyrinth in the set republic.

Most of the monsters that inhabit the labyrinth over there are mostly goblins as the name suggests, It does not have much degree of difficulty even if the ranking of the labyrinth is B.

I see, i get it now.

The main purpose is to nurture Nina-chan, while Namari-chan is the escort......is it?」

「Not at all.

Right now if it's nina-chan and gang they should be able to easily take-----」

While talking with viktor, Yuu's gaze was at a merchant who was negotiating with byarune.

No, rather his gaze was one the seeds of the plant which was in his hands.

「Is it the seeds of a plant?」

「Ee.

It is the seeds of a plant called rice which a certain race grows.

They are quite the strange people, but i have trades with them and therefore i am able to procure them.

You can eat them as they are, but with some wood-----」

「Is that rice?」

Byraune was surprised at Yuu who broke into the conversation.

During this deal, byraune was told beforehand that he would not be speaking or meddling.

「You know this de」

「Do you by chance of Soy sauce and miso?」

The words soy sauce and miso which was said by Yuu was not understood by the surrounding merchants, but only the merchant who brought the rice had a surprised expression.

「A, I have it.

Excuse me, Satou-sama....」

「Hey, i am not concerned with the people who trade with you( the farmers who grow rice).

Moreover, i want to buy all the items that you have brought」

「A-all o-of it!?」

「Aaa.

Your asking price is alright」

The merchants who were explaining their treasured items to attract yuu's attention were now looking at the merchant dealing with yuu in envy.

Looking at the somewhat excited appearance of Yuu, both Viktor and Mago were showing a surprised expression with a 「Hou」

As everyone's eyes gathered to Yuu, the merchant's escorts escaped out of the building as if they were waiting for that time.

「A~a.It's so boring here without Namari-chan and Nina-chan~」

On the beach which was a little away from the port of the nameless kingdom, impika sighed.

Nina these days was busy with exploring the labyrinth.

Namari who was accompanying Nina was having less time to play with impika.

「I promised that i would listen to Rena-oneechans words and would remember but i didn't think it would take so long」

「Marifa-onechan is busy with teaching the other onee-chans」

「I want to play with namari-chan.......」

「I want to eat the food and the cake cooked by king-sama!」

「「「I want to EAT!!!」」」

The children around also seemed to be dissatisfied and agree with impika.

「But but, the king-sama is at the port today right.right, mururu-chan?」

「Yes.When i was playing with pirika-chan yesterday, pirika-chan grandpa met with king-sama, they were taking with humans, discussing business? or so they were saying」

「Alright! Let's go quickly」

When hende, the oldest of the beast kids who were in this place urged them, hende's sister Lethel and mururu nodded at each other and then caught their hands and started to run--

「Reteru, wait!」

With a sudden shout from lethel's brother hende she hurriedly stops.

Mururu who was holding hands with them was also surprised and looked backwards, she could see hended and impika with ruffled hairs glaring at some people.

They were behind the two of them, all the fallen demon tribe children, the fallen dwarves children and beast kin children were frightened while looking at them.

「Ga ruruu~!」

Although the voice of the child sounded more like a groan it still remained, impika raised a growling voice which was appropriate for a beast kin.

Reteru noticed that, hende and impika were intimidating with their eyes on someone far from themselves.

The form of people who were being glared at, looked at the two while they could be identified as humans.

Because the wind was an upward wind they were not able to sense of the smell of these people.

Hende cries out for them to come back, Reteru grabbed mururu's hand and rushed back to hende.

「Who are you people! I will not forgive you if you place you're hands on my friends!!」

While saying that he would protect his friends, he spread his arms out and growls.

While like an animal, impika's posture was as though she would leap like a beast and throw herself at them at any moment.

These men were the merchant's escorts that had disappeared from building.

「Ten, eleven, twelve......sixteen.This amount must be quite enough right?」

「Even if you ask me if it's enough, isn't that but a foolish thing」

「It can't be helped though right.You saw that back there, didn't you? that equipment of those demi humans were even better than our own.If it was just equipment alone then it would have been fine.Honestly if we tried to do something, then we would have immediately been killed」

「That's indeed true.They said that adults and kids alike and as many as possible to be kidnapped, but there is no way to kidnap those adults without dying.Even so kidnapping these brats should be enough to earn a good enough reward」

「Which kid will it be? the rest could be chopped and thrown into the ocean for the fish to feed」

「There are quite the few, but it would be good if we use some sleeping grass on them and pack them in a barrel」

The escorts were saying whatever they wanted without answering hende's question.

Meanwhile. Hende and impika were glaring at them, but they could not stop trembling while looking at the group of people who were armed.

The children had almost forgotten it.

The absolute memory that they had forcibly forgotten was being revived.

By the hands of humans,their parents, brothers, friends and even acquaintance were killed in front of them, their houses burned, them being thrown out of houses, they remembered the figures of men who were still chasing after them.

「O, On-i-chan, i-i'm s-scared」

「It will be fine! Because Big brother will protect you!」

The men had a obscene smile while looking at the children who were frightened.

「Hehehe.Do not resist or it will be quite painful」

「That's right.If you resist, then us older brothers...... will have to do something painful~」

「Hhihih, look here.This boy things he is grown up and is threatening us.When i see such a cheeky foolish brat, i can't help but kill him」

As the men start to scare the children, they swiftly unsheath their swords and axes.

Whenever the kids raised a voice saying "s-s-scary" the men's smile would further deepen.

For the children of beast kin, it was completely possible for them to escape this place.

But the fallen demons and corrupted dwarves children would not be able to escape.

Therefore, hende and impika continued to growl and intimidate them, while taking the lead against the men.

「This is quite unsightly de-aru~」

「Who is that!?」

「The lying grandpa!」

The screams of men who could not hide their unrest and impika's scream overlapped.

When the men looked back, they could see the former swindler artist Frank abigail pulling at his beard standing there.

「How embarrassing, aren't all of you humans?, how could you scare those children?」

Frank does not stop, while walking exaggeratedly like a goose march, he walks right through the men and stands in front of impika, and then turns around while pulling at his beard and glancing at the men.

「「「Grandpa」」」

The children clung to his feet all at once.

「There there.i don't mind you all clinging to me, but please to spare my high class clothes with you're drool and snot, the clothes want some pardon too de~aru」

To the usual attitude of Frank, the smile returned to the face of the children as if the tense situation which existed previously was a lie.

「What to do?」

One of the men asked their comrade.

The unexpected entrance of his was an hindrance to their plans.

「Don't worry.You may have heard this already but that man is a slave and a former swindler and is not a strong man.We can take care of him right here」

When the men faced each other, they had a smile on their face while removing their previous impatience.And their weapons headed towards frank.

「Foolish people you are de~aru」

Separating from their children while telling them to close their eyes, frank muttered as if to pity them.

「What!?」

「What is this!?」

「R-r-reisu! it's not a normal monster!!」

「C-calm-calm down! It's just magic! If it's magic it's still fine!!」

There semi transparent magical formations appeared below frank's feet on the ground.

The swords and axes of the men swung towards frank, but the magical formations formed a barrier around him and protected him from the attacks.

「Slave? That is right de~aru.I am but a slave, but who is the master of that? That frightening master, there is no one like master who could monitor people like this de~aru.This Reisu, if my memory serves me correctly it is a rank 6 Reisu de~aru. Because your wish will not come true anyway. i recommend that you should just give up and die quickly de~aru?」

「R-rank......r-rank 6 you say!?」

「W...wait! no this is different !!」

「Th-that's right! this is a misunderstanding! We were just j-joking right?」

「If you kill us, then you're master will be in trouble!」

Frank listened to their rambling with a sleepy face, but soon after he unbuttoned his coat and spread it wide to cover the children's sight.

「You people are but fool de~aru.You are trying to lie to swindling master, you're intelligence is less than that of a goblin de~aru」

The next moment, the men were dragged by the ankles by the rank 6 monsters Gurajreisu and into the ground.It was an instantaneous moment.

The men disappeared from this world, without even being able to scream.

「Grandpa?」

「It is not good for children to come here alone de~aru」

「B-but king-sama is.......」

「I want to meet the king-damon!」

「will we get scolded ?」

「It-It is my fault! these guys are not at fault......that's why if you want to be angry then I should be the one to be punished」

「No that is not true! it is I who asked big brother......da~mon.that's why please do not scold big brother......grandpa」

Among the children who were crying, impika cling to the legs of frank and looked upwards and sobbed while looking at frank.

And there was the face of man who was troubled, it did not look at all like a master swindler.

「Right now only I know what happened de~aru」

「But.....i want to see king-sama」

「Right now the lord is busy.if it was at night--」

When gurajjreisu below the ground trembled, frank leaked out a voice 「Nu」.

「Tomorrow, tomorrow--」

This time, when frank looked at the gurajjreisu the body did not shake this time.

「The lord will be able to play tomorrow de~aru!」

「Truly!?」

「Grandpa, I love you!!」

「YES! Lying grandpa, thank you!!」

「Leave me alone de~aru.I t-told you not to drool on these clean clothes de~aru」

「 It's a promise, right? You must absolutely fulfil it, absolutely!」

「I understand, so go on already de~aru」

The children showed their gratitude unanimously while clinging to frank. At that time, custom made clothes which were made by a specialized noble store was covered in saliva and snot. The children continued to wave their hands at Frank until his figure was out of sight and went back towards their home.

「Seriously, these children are so much trouble de~aru」

Frank muttered while wiping the drool and snot on his clothes with a handkerchief.

And headed towards the gurajjreisu while looking at them.

「These human errands are tough de~aru」

The gurajjreisu shook their body as if responding to the complaints of Frank.

Frank abigails particular verbal tick.

When his emotions were raised, he would end his sentences with 「aru」.usually it would be「a~ru」
