83 ③ Accommodation town, again (medium)

"It's not that hard to open a store in Inn Town. It's going to take a lot of work to build a new building, but if you're just going to sell things in that outdoor area, you can just pay for a little place and anyone can join."

"A little bit of a place charge, is it"

"Yes, it's only one white copper coin in ten days. The price of conscience, right?... well, it still turns out to be roughly one giva's worth of horns and fangs."

"One giva for one head... one white copper coin... one moment, please. Um, how many red copper coins is a white copper coin worth?

The one who rounded his eyes on my question was the late boy who sat right next to the camouflage.

Well, there will be. How many 100 yen balls are for 10 yen balls? Because it's like you're asking.

"It's ten red and one white. I mean, it's for ten Kimmus meat buns that Tara was eating at that time, and the original is removed. The wider the outdoor area, the more inn towns will flourish, so even for a lord, more outdoor shops will be appreciated. So I really care about the cost of the place."

"Wait, er... because you can buy ten meals of aria and poitan for one giva... that? Well, then we'd have been cooking a meal for a piece of copper red, too."

"You must have had a lot of yesterday at the outdoor snack. It's about half that much, and the price would be reasonable about two pieces of red. If you sell too cheap, you'll buy the opposition from other stores."

"So, if the cost of the materials was yesterday's contribution too, would you be done with roughly half of one red sheet? That means, by simple calculation, if you sell a meal, you make one and a half pieces of red money - you just sell seven meals in ten days, and the expenses you need will be reversed."

What an easy business.

... but if someone on the road had the courage to eat giva meat, I'd be talking about.

"Usually meat is higher than vegetables. And vegetables are also better than Aria and Poitan. If the meat bun lady wants to make a profit, she'll have to judge 10 or 20 a day. If this is the only town that has flourished, it's not that hard to stick to."

Camua laughs delightfully.

"What do you say? Have you figured out why I suggested Asta open the store? With your arm and the power of Giva meat, you wouldn't even think it would be a story of that kind of failure, would you?

"So if the shop flourishes, it will be possible to make Giva meat recognize its value as edible meat, and even less prejudicial to the people by the woods? I see, it's a really good and exhaustive business, it's"

I try to imitate Camus, elbow him on the table, and get him on board.

"So - so, what profit can you make, Camua-Josh?

"Yeah? You're not convinced I don't make that much profit? Well, then, yes - let me thank you for 10% of the net profit minus the cost of the place and the cost of the materials."

"It's not about the money. We want to know what you're after."

"So that's to satisfy my one-sided sense of fellowship! The fact that the people by the woods have been regarded as a symbol of awe or that the price for the hunter's stump is too low. If I can get rid of those two things eventually, I'll be completely satisfied."

and there the purple eyes in strange shades look eye-fa.

"Maybe my words and actions from last night can also feel pity for the people by the woods, but I don't mean to, i-fa? I just really, really like the people by the woods. Still, if you're not a forest folk, this is how I'm going to be able to present you with my own ideas. I was wondering if you could just understand the mood?

"... I don't feel pity for you. Either that or I feel like I'm being made fun of."

"That's good! - Is that it? Is that it?"

"Isn't it usual not to be trusted by people? I don't think you need to worry about it, Camua."

And as the boy grins, he says terrible things.

But Camua also laughs back at "That's true," so there's no more mouth scissors for the rest of us.

"Hmm... I see..."

"Are you still worried about something? As I have said, only the native people of Genos have unconditional fear of the people of the woods and of Gibba, and because the threat of Gibba is not an unprecedented disaster or a vermin that has fallen to any damage for a long time, there is actually no nucleus in that fear. And right now, it's not Gibba who's most feared, it's the people by the woods themselves."

Camua's eyes are turned back on me from Ai-Fa again.

"I don't know what to say, if the people by the woods let out an outdoor shop, there might not be anyone that would get so close. But no matter what Asta looks like, he's a man of the capital, a man of the town. If such an asta sells a dish of giva meat, people will be perplexed but intrigued. And if you're from the south or east, you must take Giva's meat without so much hesitation. That way, the flavor is already more certain, so I expect it will eventually spill over to the native people of Genos by mouth."

"Ha..."

"If I'm being more honest, I don't think I'm going to get rid of prejudice against the people by the woods."

And Camua narrowed her eyes and laughed.

Only when you laugh that way - this guy gets a clear look a bit like Ziba-Lou.

"With beastly eyes, the people are in awe of a people by the woods who are unlikely to be human and lonely and closed. That is a fear that has been cultivated over the course of eighty years, and many parts of it will not be misunderstandings because people by the woods are actually such a clan. That's all right with me. I don't want to see people in the woods and people in town smiling together."

"Is that...?

"A hunter by the woods can be lonely. Rather, the town's peace of mind doesn't suit the hunter. I don't want to see a corrupt hunter.... but it pisses me off that the hunter is being looked down on as a lowlife. If the hunters by the woods are to be feared, I want them to be feared not as demons, but as holy beings, I am."

…………

"So first, I want to break the false notion of" Lower Bitch Giva Eating ". I would like to remind you once again who is responsible for protecting Genos' fields from Giva and hence one of Genos' prosperity wings."

"... if you always talk to me like that, I can trust you without hesitation."

Still, with caution, that's what I said.

"At the root, I guess you're not lying or anything. It's just that I don't know why you're so thoughtful of the forest folks, do I?... Um, is it that important to the people of this continent to switch faithful gods along the way?

To my words, the late boy looked surprised again.

However, there is no change in the clear eye of Camus.

"I think it would be serious. But, well, I guess this is a feeling only experienced by humans."

"Really?... but it's been eighty years since the forest people abandoned the south forest and moved to the Morga forest. Wouldn't the people by the woods today understand your mood...?

"Of course that would be. So my sense of companionship towards the people by the woods is a one-way street forever.... Eighty years anyway. There's no such thing as a forest folk over eighty?

Ziba-Lou.

That probably only exists by the woods alone, Ziba-Lou.

But - before I could trust this man, I couldn't have spoken the name.

So I had to say, "What do you think?"

"... Asta insists that she's not from this continent, so of course she's not devoting her faith to any of the four great gods, is she?

"Oh, well, you will. It's a family by the woods, so formally, the people of God in the west,"

"Yeah. In that sense, I guess your presence deserves to be by the woods. The people by the woods switched the gods they worship from the southern god Jagal to the western god Selva, but the truth is, they have not worshipped God since the beginning. - What they worship is the forest, not God. I guess the woods are the absolute thing for them. Perhaps I am fascinated by that clean and magnificent life."

That's how Camua hid her strange light-emitting eyes behind her eyelids.

I can't tell you how silent it is.

And by a third party, it was defeated.

"Yes, it's salted meat with zozozo tea and kimmus."

A heel and a large wooden plate are placed on the table.

My father brought me the items I ordered.

As it was, the usual floating smile had already come back on Camus's face, which dropped off his father, who would flinch himself a lot.

"Asta, give me a taste if you like. What food is eaten in this lodging town? If you were working as a cook, you'd be interested, too, wouldn't you?

"... if it was a Kimmus meat bun, I would have had it in the stall too"

"Right. But I think this guy has a different taste than meat buns, right?

I dropped my gaze from Camus' face to the table.

put on a large plate. That seemed to be a stew of meat and vegetables.

Little moisture, white meat and several varieties of vegetables all over a clear, thick paste.

From what I can see with my eyes, I can confirm the cutting edge of the aria and the pra and the pieces of the simmered chatch.

The smell smelled of vanilla very similar to Leelo's.

And there are a few pieces of white fabric stacked on the dish's soot like Gyoza's skin. I suppose that means eat in this.

It doesn't look or smell that bad.

"Go ahead? If you don't have an appetite, you can take a bite. I can't relate to such fine dried meat and zozozo tea, so please taste it."

That's well, I'd like to try just curiosity.

I checked with EY-FA with my eyes before grabbing a small piece of fabric and a wooden spoon.

Calculate the amount of simmering and the number of pieces of dough, and add about two cups of simmering with a wooden spoon as to whether this is the case.

I wrapped it around him like a little crepe, and I was like...

Well, I made fun of salt anyway.

The flavour is mostly vanilla.

Aria, who has become a tatter, and sweet chatches on the streets of the fire, and bitter pras - and pale as a scissor, meat.

It's not a bad combination.

It has a truly rustic taste.

The meat salted for preservation must have been simmered with the vegetables. I wonder if it would be better to simmer it a little more closely, so I don't see any problems like this.

It's just - if you want to eat until you give me the money, I just want to twist my neck a little bit.

"For once, it's the most popular dedication in this inn. Because it's salty, it goes well with alcohol. I wonder if the price was three pieces of red copper coin. Everyone gets done outside during the day looking for a light snack, but at night this store also shows a lot of buzz. Everyone is eating it with a satisfied face."

Camua laughs like a Cheshire cat.

"Accommodation Town food is like an extension of home-cooked food. In fact, it's the innkeepers and daughters who make it. A cook as a profession can only exist in stone walls in this Genos."

"Ha."

"I don't know. Is it possible for Asta to make dishes that can counteract the salted meats and meat buns of this Kimmus?

"Are you inciting me? Whatever it is, I'm not going to be stupid enough to ride such a provocation, I am."

At the tide, I probably finished eating one of those kimmus salted meats and yam, and then drank the rest of the zozozo tea.

Then I said to Ai-Fa, "Is there anything you still want to ask me?" I tried to punch him in the ear, but he still just shakes his neck silently to the side.

"In the meantime, I'll talk to my parents. And then I'll talk to my friends in the woods, and if there's nothing wrong with that, then I'll be thinking positively for the first time."

"That's prudent! That must be the beauty of Asta."

You're the one who's making me be discreet, and I'll shrug my shoulders.

"Camua. Still, when I'm ready to open an outdoor shop in Inn Town, should I talk to you again then?

"Yeah. Or you can fly me over and negotiate directly. One of the people in charge of the outdoor area is the father of this inn, Milan-Mouth. Anyway, if you visit this" Kimmus's Tail Pavilion, "that's all."

"Thank you. I don't know how I'm going to fall yet, but your story has got me thinking about so many different things. Even if it didn't turn out to be a store, I'm glad I could talk to you."

"I'd appreciate it if you could say that.... Are you home already? Well, Late, thank you for coming later. I'll take out the salted meat, then I'll sleep another night."

"Yes! Then let's go, Ai-Fa to Asta"

"Where are you going? We're going home after shopping."

"I won't let you take the time. It's just that a girl named Tara and her parents want to thank you guys. Tara's parents have opened a store in the outdoor area, so let me show you around."

"Hey, I didn't do enough to be thanked"

"Don't see him. Tara's a good girl. She'll grow up to be a great beauty in ten years, so there's no harm in keeping the edge tied in right now."

Ridiculous things like that, of course, are more about my husband, not the boy.

I laughed bitterly that it wasn't Mr. Kwong Yuan, and when I glanced sideways at Ai-Fa the other day... strangely enough, those eyes were really chilling about me.

Really, I wonder what this guy thinks of me.

"Now, if you'll excuse me"

"Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing you again."

Take the back room, where there were no more guests besides us, and head for the exit.

In the dining room on that side, the men were still drinking.

One of them looks at us more intoxicated than he just did.

"Hey there brunette kid! How could you have made a Giva-Eater woman into one? If you'd like, I could use a piece of copper to show you how to handle that. Huh?

Oh, now you don't seem to let me be bare.

That's not good. If it's a personal attack on me, it's still possible that if I can make fun of Ai-Fa's presence there - it's not going to make much sense.

"You must have noticed that hunting a man is quicker than hunting a crazy giva to earn copper coin! Hey," Eat Giva, "what do you want me to buy you overnight with two copper coins?

Oh, no.

The spear tip has been slightly modified by I-Fa.

I tried to turn my back on the men, thinking in a corner of my head that maybe they were the worst of those who had no fear and just scorned me.

but two phenomena at the same time caused my anger to stay around the middle of my throat.

I was walking behind me. Ey-fa took my arm.

A Leyt boy walking in front of me raised a quiet voice saying, "Please stop."

"These are my husband's guests. We will see disrespect to our guests as disrespect to our husbands, is that okay?

From the voice of Boy Soprano, who had not yet undergone that vocal change, his emotional emotions had completely fallen out.

The boy was watching the men, so I couldn't confirm the look on his face. Instead, I could see the look on the men's faces.

The two of them, who were raising their wild voices, are getting stiff with their liquor bottles raised.

The face - it had opened its eyes like a human who had come across a beast in the woods, freezing the look of fear.

"What, what's up?" and the rest of them snap their fellow shoulders.

With that in his ass, Late Boy grinned at me.

"Excuse me. Okay, let's go."

If the master is the master, do you mean that the disciple is also the disciple?

Stepping out with a sigh, Ey-Fa smacks me in the back with a "hey".

"As I said when Darum-Lou, you have no power to protect yourself. You're too short-circuited sometimes."

"... I = fa 'cause when Hamburg teases you, you get short-circuited"

"Does that matter now," he says, smashing a few more rounds in the back.

I'm sorry, it's a powerless Kamadoku cry.
