Chapter 588: Urban Legends: The Phantom Stall

We were now back in Kiarazen again.

We were told that Lovren was here.

It was close to other countries, and the legend of the Lakeside Maiden was popular here. It was a place that shouldn’t be missed when investigating the strange occurrences in the lake.

Besides, we’d like to visit Rhyn’s stall again.

But her stall was not in the same place as before. We looked around the town to see if she had moved locations, but she was nowhere to be found.

In the end, we even went to the merchant association that organizes the stalls in this town to ask them about it. But they replied that there was no such merchant by that name.

They didn’t lie as their answer was not a lame response. After all, we even mentioned Weena Rhyn’s name and showed them Fran’s adventurer card. In addition, I also used my doppelganger to accompany her as her guardian this time.

This was also meant to be a test to see if this skill would be effective in keeping my soul as a person. I wanted to try having a conversation with someone in this state and see what happens.

In addition to the big shots, we also met with the high-ranking adventurers. The person in charge of arranging the stalls in town was even shaking with a blue face. I felt a little sorry for him when I saw him going over the list of names again and again.

The chairman of the trading company, who could not stand to see the situation, even took over the handling of the situation, but his investigation did not change the results.

However, he remembered something in his mind.

「There is an urban legend in this town」

「An urban legend?」

「It’s a story that people are very uncertain about whether it’s true or false」

Apparently, there is a rumor among the merchants that there was a phantom stall that could not be normally encountered, although they do not know when it all started.

They never knew when or where it would appear, but there were stories of travelers who had encountered strange food stalls and had been sold amazingly delicious food.

But Fran seemed to be a little happy while saying that. After all, she didn’t really like the idea of me using my doppelganger’s body.

From now on, I would use it from time to time, but I wouldn’t use it all the time.

Then I erased my doppelganger and urged Fran to move

『Well, let’s go to the harbor~』

「Oo~」

According to our information, Lovren had been at the harbor until about an hour ago.

He was a very famous person in this area, so when we asked the merchants, they immediately knew where he was.

We headed to the place we were told to go to, but there we ran into someone we didn’t expect.

「It is... Err...」

『It’s Sierra』

There was Sierra, the boy with the killing intent.

He was holding a somewhat sinister-looking sword with a jet-black blade in his right hand, and for some reason, he was dipping the tip of the sword into the lake. I wonder what he was doing?

「――I guess」

「――maybe?」

He was mumbling something in a low voice, but I couldn’t hear him clearly. It seemed as if he was talking to someone, but there was no one around. Did he have a habit of mumbling to himself?

As we approached the boy, he turned around and looked at her.

「...!」

「...」

Sierra and Fran stared at each other for a while.

In contrast to Fran’s curious look, Sierra’s gaze toward Fran was filled with killing intent.
