774 Travel history of the Ease family

Is it because I said something extra?

Or is there a physical person in your body who brings in problems?

No one knows that.

Yes, no one knows.

Except.

In front of us, who visited a small village at the foot of Volcano Holm, it was true that the problem was exactly what was happening now.

"Hey, please!

"We know as much as we can't afford that. So at least tell me about the herd instead."

"We really want it!

"Yeah, I can't let it go. Even with the money, I can't sell it to you guys. Besides, you guys can't teach him how to live in this herd."

A few adventurers, not resembling a small village on the border, hardened their whole bodies with splendid equipment, were surrounded by villagers.

And he's asking some kind of push question.

"No way, there was a terrible oddities spreading in the village, and the villagers tried to buy the cure from the adventurers, but they charged you a high price? So, the villagers who boiled the business tried to pick it up themselves, but the adventurers wouldn't tell us where the herbs were growing or something!?

"Elnea, weigh yourself down."

"Yes, I'm sorry"

I honestly reflect on Mistral's attention.

However, there is a reason why you can slap a light mouth like this.

Adventurers and villagers are asking questions without even noticing our visit.

For some reason, there's no sign of swordswallowing either, is there?

The villagers, hey, don't hesitate to pull on the adventurer's clothes and gear. But the adventurer doesn't shake it off in disgust, it's lightly embellished with a bitter smile.

It was as if the adventurer and the villagers were friends of the ancient knowledge, in our eyes.

"Hello? Hello!"

What the hell do villagers want and what do adventurers have?

I'm just curious, but I can't see the story unless they keep noticing.

So give voice to the people of the village.

Then the grown-ups rushed over to see if they finally realized this one existed.

"Oh, I can't believe it's such a despicable (hepi) place, a nice start-up organization. Can I help you?

"Yes, a bit of sightseeing."

Speaking of which, all you're pushing around adventurers are kids. And, as I put in the confirmation late, I ask the woman who smiled and walked over here.

"By the way, is there something wrong with you?"

reluctantly, I tried to talk about adventurers and the kids.

Then the woman looked at the children, laughing at my question, haha.

"No, actually. The dragon knight from this village is getting married next time. The kids are making a scene about making a gift for him."

"Ah. Is that about Mr. Anya?

The woman was surprised to see Mr. Anya's name coming out of my mouth.

"Yep. We are in the capital, and we are very grateful to Mr. Anya."

"Eh heh, that kid really, really got a good look over there."

"Whatever, you are the Dragon Knight, the symbol of the kingdom of Yortenitos!

After all, this village was Mr. Anya's birthplace.

The woman welcomed us with great pleasure knowing that we were acquaintances of Mr. Anya.

"So, the kids want to make a gift for Mr. Anya's marriage, right?

"Yeah, well, I'm trying to get that adventurer over there to sell the material,"

"But it's such a price that you can't afford it for the kids' pennies, right?

"No, you, what are you talking about? Instead of children's pennies, even adults can't buy them, like that."

Hmm. I wonder what the kids are trying to make of such expensive materials that even adults can't afford them?

Then, when I was talking to a villager woman, somehow the adventurer called me out.

"Hey, you guys. What are you doing in such a despicable village?

A strong man armed with thick full body armor, great shields and spears comes here with a gentle payment for the flock of children.

"Hello. I mean, you're the one, why are you here?

To be clear, we're out of place, too, but the adventurers who hardened themselves with expensive equipment are heterogeneous, aren't they?

Expensive and high-performance equipment will cost you money to get, and you will need enough money for your eyes to pop out to take care of it.

Moreover, these equipped people are usually based in large cities because they would not be able to maintain them without first-class craftsmen.

It is absolutely suspicious that such an adventurer is coming to the depths of the despicable mountains of the southeast among the kingdoms of Yortenitos.

But the adventurers seem to be the same who doubt their identity, and they stare at me and everyone in my family to deserve it.

"Is the man just a boy? And then there's kittens and women and children...... Are there two witches? What, that's a rare combination, huh?

Guys, it's my family.

Priscia and Alicia did not expose themselves to the Ear Elders because they were also wearing mundane coats.

Neemia, too, seems to have mistaken me for a kitten because I am now lenient over Priscia's head in disguise.

And apparently I didn't even realize who Madeleine was.

What do you mean?

Master Madrine is a witch-head, representing the priests of the kingdom of Yortenitos.

In Wangdu, celebrities are so super attached. They also sell a lot of prints of figure paintings.

But the adventurer didn't even notice Master Madeleine's face.

Well, maybe there was a strong preconceived notion that there was no way a witch-head could come to a place like this. But the assumption that Madeleine was a normal witch meant, after all, that this adventurer was not the kind of people based in Wang Du.

"For a long time, you're a family with a lot of women. Besides, they've all come with beauty."

"If I get my hands on you safely, I'll be angry!

"Whoa, I gotta make sure I don't piss the kid off."

Apparently, I'm completely childish.

Well, from the perspective of this inflexible man, I seem powerless.

Nevertheless, I don't want to argue about my physique.

What do the children of the village want and what do the adventurers have? That's what you want to know.

"Yep. We are friends of Anya, a dragon knight from this village. So, Holm volcano sightseeing, I thought I'd stop by."

"What, a central nobleman? Well, excuse me."

Now I'm assumed to be noble.

But you don't have to bother correcting it, do you?

Because if you try to correct me, you have to expose that there are three princesses of the kingdom of Armuard!

I can't believe they're still kinder than they think they are noble...

The inflexible man mistaken this one for an aristocratic group guest.

However, language is not particularly different.

Are they the ones who don't care about the identity system, or is he a high status himself?

Anyway.

"What the hell do the kids want?

Now the kids jumped at my question.

"Hey. You're Sister Anya's friend, aren't you? We want to make a gift for Sister Anya."

"But I can't get the material..."

"Ah. Anya, don't tell your sister, okay? Never, don't tell me, okay?

"Anya, how's your sister doing?

"I want to be a Dragon Knight in the future, too, like Sister Anya."

"I want to take care of the Dragons, too."

"I'd like to ride a flying dragon and adventure around the world."

How's it going?

Calm down, gentlemen.

And we're off track, aren't we?

This doesn't have to be an adventurer to get drunk on momentum.

The children who surround us say what they want to say well.

This one is desperate to read the information we need from it.

"Yep. I'd like to make a gift for Mr. Anya, but you don't get the material, do you? So, they tried to sell it to an adventurer who seems to have the material, but it's too expensive to buy. So, were you guys trying to tell the adventurer where to find the material for yourselves?

Villagers and adventurers nod in my summary.

Hmm.

A little, you see the situation.

The fact that the kids want to go get the material means they should be able to collect it near the village.

But the adventurer keeps the place secret.

Well, well.

Anyway, if it's expensive material that even adults can't handle, you want to monopolize it.

And these adventurers made enormous profits from their monopoly on that material, and they were able to buy all the luxury equipment?

But you still have your doubts.

If the adventurers really want to monopolize the material, they should make sure that the villagers don't even understand it.

I don't know where the information leaks from.

But the adventurers keep the material where it's available, but they seem to have a very close relationship with the villagers.

In addition, he had responded calmly without disturbing the children who told him where to find them.

"Hmm. You don't quite understand, do you? Anyway, adventurers sell materials if they have enough money to buy them, but it's a secret where they can take them, right?

I lean my neck.

But the inflexible man has put in a few modifications.

"No, too bad. Even if you nobles had money, you wouldn't be able to sell it here. If you want, you can negotiate with our employer, the merchant's husband."

Oh. Apparently, the adventurer had an employer.

Then Yufiria and Nina taught me with a pestle that they used to take.

You're a hired adventurer.

You're an exclusive adventurer.

"What do you mean?

Not familiar with how the Adventurers' Union works, we all saw Ufiria and Nina.

"These people are adventurers hired by some merchant."

"These people are adventurers who specialize in certain tasks."

"Hmm?"

"Mr. Elnea. Some people in the world make requests to adventurers without going through the Adventurers' Union. They must be the ones hired exclusively by the merchants who sell the materials and stuff."

"Mr. Sefina, how is that different from a normal request?

Why would a merchant hire an adventurer directly without asking an adventurer union?

I don't see any advantages.

"Right, to put it simply. If you make a request to the Adventurers' Union, it will be public (oh dear) who is making what request and where the task will be?

"It's all about disclosing information widely and getting the right adventurer to take the request, right?

"Yes. Then don't you think it would be inconvenient if you don't want someone else to know that you made the request or that you don't want someone else to know where the mission is?

"Oh well. You expose other people to where expensive materials can be taken through the Adventurers' Union."

"Of course, in some cases, the Adventurers' Union can turn their hands around and keep it a secret. When it comes to monopolizing wealth, unions are reluctant, right?

The merchant wants to monopolize the "material" and the dot, but he hires a dedicated adventurer without going through the union.

And these people are their exclusive adventurers?

"Ladies, you know me well enough. Maybe you're adventurers too."

Yes, Master Ufiria, Nina and Madrine seemed to have been active for a long time...

Sefina, too, was on an adventure alone, wasn't she?

A group of beautiful women included adventurers. So the adventurers loosen their cheeks.

Here, here. They're all my wives, so I'd be mad if I tried to get my hands on them!

"I wondered why the nobleman was in such a neighborhood. If you have adventurers in you, can you come sightseeing or something? Or are the squire waiting somewhere else?

"Well, that's the place"

I'm not a squire. Revaria in her precious body flew off somewhere beyond the sky!

"Yeah, that's it. I'd like to get back to you. If we had the money, we wouldn't be able to sell the material here, would we?

I don't have any money, though!

"And the location of the material is also a secret?

"Oh, that's..."

Then, for some reason, a tough man with a troubled look.

"These people in this village are usually taken care of."

If you ask me, I will always use this village when I come to get the material.

And the adventurers who have the money will drop the money in this village with good feathers.

So they have good relations with the villagers, and they take care of each other.

"So, well, I can teach you that it's just a secret here. But it's different from teaching and actually being able to pick it up."

"So that material is in a dangerous place, right?

"That's what happened"

I see, we finally have a point of convergence.

Adventurers are not bad people who want to monopolize wealth.

That's why you can't tell me where the material is because of the safety of the kids.

"Well, can you tell us? You can't buy it here, but if you're just gonna be someone who can risk it, you can tell me specially, right? Ah. Of course, the secret I learned here is that I won't talk about it elsewhere. We just want to help the children of the village, as friends of Mr. Anya."

"Hum..."

To my suggestion, a strong man stared at me to make a price tag.
