Chapter 19

12:30
When I returned to my shed, I saw Sarasa with an unknown man that appeared to be the warrior type.
“Good day.”
I greeted them. I told the warrior type man that my name was Keigo Okuda and the warrior man told me his name was Juno in return. Then I made tea using the tea leaves that Sarasa brought as a present. As a thanks, since it was right around lunch time, I made them bacon and eggs using the dried meat and herb chicken eggs I had. I served the bacon and eggs along with bread for them.
Incidentally, I already had a simple table made from wood that I had created during my spare time. There were nails, a saw and a hammer in the shed. Since I also had suitable lumber for the table, I decided to DIY the table myself.
I put 3 chairs made from stumps surrounding the table and then the three of us talked while having a cup of tea. According to what I understood from their gesture, it seemed they were here to ask me to migrate to the town.
I was the type of a guy who hated the crowd and chose to live in the countryside on my own. Not to mention, I couldn’t fully understand the local language yet. So I refused their offer to live near the weir of the town. Of course, I said ‘no’ to them right away in the local language.
Also it turned out Juno was Sarasa’s bodyguard. He took on the request to guard her for this trip. Sarasa pointed at the carrier Juno had brought with him. Since we were going to trade, I also took out materials I got from the giant bat, which was its wings, fangs, poison sac and monster core. I placed the materials on top of the table. In addition I also had slime’s mucus and 10 slime cores along with gadol poisonous plants and badol poisonous plants.
I had decided to not sell medicinal herbs anymore since it was more profitable to turn them into potions first and I could also raise my alchemy level while I was at it.
Sarasa also asked for some herb chicken eggs so I went to the shed to get them and placed 5 of them on the table.
I sold the materials I got from the giant bat, excluding the wings that could be used as a proof of subjugation, and got 1 gold coin and 5 silver coins in return. Sarasa bought the slime’s mucus and core for 4 silver coins and gadol poisonous plants along with badol poisonous plants all for 4 silver coins.
She said the effect, taste and shelf life of herb chicken eggs was better than regular eggs. Last time, I sold 10 eggs for 2 silver coins but now, 5 eggs could go for 6 silver coins.
In total, I got 2 gold coins and 9 silver coins.
There were a variety of goods inside the carrier Juno had brought. Hard rye bread, water, milan’s wine, dried deer meat and garlic. They had brought things that seemed to be essential for my daily life.
I exchanged 3 silver coins for those items.
After I finished my transaction with Sarasa, I conveyed my intention to buy threads to make a sound alarm to her. I somehow was able to convey my intention by writing the word ‘thread’ on my magic board.
With all of their tasks finished, Sarasa and Juno returned to the town.

T/N: I really like this Sarasa. Not only has she been so kind and helpful to our MC, she also tries to make life easier for MC by inviting him to live in the town. ( ´ ▿ ` )
