Chapter 201: Apparently, Crane Wings is Jiggle Jiggle, while V formation is Bounce Bounce. (1)
Day 57 Early Morning, White Weirdo Inn.
After that, Royal Girl and Maid Girl had a touching reunion, but since it has nothing to do with me I went home. No, it really has nothing to do with me?
They were saying something and hugging each other, but I just ignored it and went back.
It's totally not because I couldn't comprehend all of that something aristocratic, something something to the something king of kingdom somewhere, so something is something and something went to something and because someone suggested something it's now something. Yup, I just didn't hear any of that.
And we are currently holding a meeting. There is a heated debate between the Take-A-Rest Camp, the Dungeon Exploration Camp, and the Fake Dungeon Defence and Reconnaissance Camp, meanwhile, I, Cheongsam Return Match Camp, is in a minority, and thus, completely ignored.
I mean, the red dress is still remaining? Since we couldn't continue in the morning, it is lying all lonely and abandoned back in the room? And it was the one I really wanted to try
There are 4 boss battles waiting, and we still didn't pass the test.
But wouldn't our concentration be crap, after so much happening in the morning? I also feel like I didn't have enough sleep.
Rather than that, did the general store already receive china dresses? Where are they?
Since they managed to invade once, they will come again unless we do something about the air defense.
Indeed, I didn't expect an invasion through the air at all. However, Balloon Batis a rare monster, so they don't possess that many of them, and some were already seized by the frontier army. The kingdom hardly has any means to fly without serious obstructions. But it's not like they have none at all.
There is no guarantee that it's totally safe.
They will give us info on the state of things in the kingdom anyway, so shouldn't we do dungeons or training?
But they sent assassins, trying to kill us by poisoning, even if it all was caused by a misunderstanding, isn't it pretty bad?
They seemed to be sincerely apologizing, so I think it will be left to the lord's judgment, they were just desperate to rescue the princess, right?
A majority vote.
It was decided that we will rest until noon, and then challenge one or two dungeon bosses, or rather, we are just waiting for any new developments until lunch.
And yet my cheongsam return match idea was rejected. Not even one round. Well, I sort of expected that, it seems she doesn't want to do it in the morning.
And so, I'm loitering around the town, dropping by the weapon store and the general store while I'm at it. When we just came, the town was full of buildings made of rough grey stone, but lately, it is going through a white wall boom, so lime and limestone are selling pretty well.
Actually, it's my secret source of income. As expected, the remodeling of the weapon store and the general store caused a steep rise in sales, making me good money. There are also more stores now, although at the moment they only amount to small stalls.
It's already an improvement to the look of the town. And it seems like there is more reconstruction work being done on houses as well.
And since the place became wealthier and money began properly circulating there are now also more facilities. The first thing Meripapa-san started working on was an orphanage.
He made providing a proper facility for the children of adventurers and those that came from destroyed villages his top priority. This must be for the sake of the future of children and atonement before those that were protecting the frontier, and those that the frontier could not protect.
Although the mechanism through which Meripapa-san placed the order for the orphanage to the general store which the shopkeeper then redirected to me as an order for a housestill remains a mystery, I made it anyway.
A pure white chapel-like building, since it resulted in a boost of lime sales it brought me great profit, despite the orphanage itself being pretty cheap. Well, after a house came a village, can't underestimate that shopkeeper at all!
And as I was wondering what we should do, suggesting that maybe we should do That and getting jiggled at in reply, a soldier approached me, stating that there is a problem at the lord's mansion, so they are asking me to drop by.
They say drop by, but I just returned from there, and they are calling me back again? Why can't they say everything on the spot? Well, I did run away since it smelled like trouble.
And it seems the problem is with the Maid-san that gave me the sword. While it didn't result in any deaths or serious injuries, sending in assassins was a problem. But I don't get what they want me to do about that? I already sold the sword, so it's not like I'm in possession of evidence?
And I used up the money, so I totally have nothing? Now, I also used up the money I needed to pay for the inn, so I suspect I'll get scolded again, I wonder where I should snatch the coin to cover that? I already got the daily Flat Gaze from the guild and used up the money from there too.
I mean, I had to purchase a huge load of sauce-like something and tomatoes, you know? If only I had this back then I could've attempted to make a tonkatsu sauce Let's rip them off again later. In addition, the price of sugar is also going up.
The effect of national isolation might be beginning to show up. Looks like we'll have to work a bit harder on smuggling.
