23 Episode 23: We found out.

"So how was it, Shiloh? Was there anything to gain by accompanying the adventurer?

Sitting in a chair, Karen has changed the subject as if to delude the awkwardness she had borrowed her shoulders.

"Yeah. There was a lot. I'm sure people who come to visit us will be surprised by the products lined up in our store if they make the purchase in time."

Mr. Cullen smiled with an inclusive smile at my words.

And he kept his mouth close to my ear,

"Huff. 'If I can make the purchase in time'? You don't have to hide it. I assume you own storage skills, or storage items?

And I've said it in a whisper.

Did you put your mouth in your ear because Aina wouldn't ask you?

Unconsciously, I was thrilled by the words that poked me in the heart.

"Na, Nanno Cottodeshaw"

"Phew. You seem like a man who can't lie. [M] I know it's your virtue, but I don't know if you're a merchant."

……

There's no sound to honesty.

"Don't get me wrong. It's not what I want to do with you. Storage skills and item holding are rare indeed, but I've seen a few of them before. And I've smelled just like them since I first saw you."

"Smell, is it?

"That's right. You can call it intuition. So... what do you think? Will my intuition be true?

I give up my hands all the time.

"You're absolutely right. I have storage skills."

"Was I still? I was wondering where you were purchasing so many matches from on such a periphery... Hmm. There is no such thing. You've had a lot of them since the beginning."

"Is that it? That's the way you say it. Intuition is...?

Karen finally laughed at it.

"It's a lie."

"Yeahhh!?

I accidentally shouted out loud.

Thanks to you, Aina's looking at me with a worried face.

"Shiloh brother...... what's wrong?

"Oh, I'm sorry I surprised you. Nothing."

"Mmm."

I turn to Mr. Cullen again and look just a little stubborn.

"Were you lying?

"Hehe. Has it been a rushing exercise? Thinking about your future. I hope you're not so angry."

"I'm not angry at anything... well, I have to wear more rush"

Becoming a merchant also means being deceitful with each other.

I've always believed in people's stories, so I have to be careful.

"That's the thing. Because the person you deal with isn't always honest. In some cases, a rush may be necessary. You can keep that in the corner of your head."

"... good luck"

When she said that pretending to be unfaithful, Ms. Karen laughed with pleasure.

"Well, let's get back to it."

Mr. Karen has one cough.

Makes a crisp and serious face.

"Amongst the products you currently own, there are items that inspectors - adventurers want, right?

"Yes, I am confident"

"Hehe. That's a lot of clarity. But it's comforting. I have to thank God for the good fortune I've had with you. And, of course, to yourself."

"No, I'm exaggerating."

Me and Mr. Cullen laugh at each other.

"By the way, Shiloh, what the hell are you going to put in line for the store? No, I'm not exploring you, the merchant, but could you show me a little bit if you like?

"Eina too! Like Eina!

I listen to Mr. Cullen, and Aina comes running over and says she just did.

"Nothing's fine. What I'm trying to show the inspector..."

I showed 'it' to Karen and Aina.

Aina, who doesn't know what she's going to use it for, just tilts her neck with a decent face.

But then Karen opened her eyes and saw how convenient it was.

"Was an item like this present..."

And he squeaked in the face.
