Chapter 10 – Peaceful Time

—Raust—

「We got plenty of material this time too, Onii-san!」

「Yeah, I’m sure they will be happy with this much.」

「Yes!」

On that day, I was walking towards the city while chatting with Narsena.

A few days had passed since I was banished from the party, I stopped using the guild as my main base for my activity and decided to sell off the material directly to the stores.

Usually, self-owned businesses didn’t buy materials from adventurers directly.

Certainly, those who bought directly without adventurer guild acting as an intermediary could buy at a lower price, or the adventurers could sell high, but the stores extremely hate to buy materials directly from adventurers.

That was because the civilians didn’t trust the adventurers at all.

That was why, when they buy directly from the adventurers, they made the adventurers approved various procedure to make sure there was nothing damaged.

Otherwise, a mere civilian wouldn’t be able to cope if something went wrong.

「Oh my, you come here again today? Thank you.」

「No, Marry-san, please don’t worry.」

「That’s right! It should be us saying that instead for letting us skipping the procedure!」

For the few days we have been selling directly to the store, by the courtesy from the store side, we had been skipping the necessary procedures.

Moreover, it was not only Marry-san’s inn here, but also other stores like the butchers or magic stones stores.

It was nothing more than a proof of absolute trust from the stores’ side to us.

I often came to the city to sell meat before, so I understood how exceptional it was.

In the past, it was almost a daily occurrence that wild adventurers tried to use violence against the civilians that were unable to defend themselves.

Well, even without talent, I was able to fight them off easily.

In any case, it was unusual for the stores to trust adventurers this much.

「You’re bringing me so much again! Also, there is even the magic stone that I said I want!」

「No, I’m grateful for your continuous support too. So this is as a form of my grat-」

That was why, as a form of gratitude, I always tried to give what they wanted for free.

「Then, here is the payment, also a little bonus for what you’re getting for me too.」

「Ehh, this much!? No, this is too much! The magic stone is just the usual gift of gratitude, there is no need for-」

「Don’t be too reserved~ it’s fine~ it’s fine~」

…… However, in most case, doing this would end up with us getting extra money.

It was obvious that the extra was as much as the market price of the magic stone.

「Wow! Thank you very much!」

Before long, Narsena seemed to get used to getting extra, but I seemed to never able to get used to it.

「But, if it’s always like this, then-」

「In that case then, come to my house and play with our Sheila. That girl, she is always waiting for you to come.」

「However……」

However, I tried to persist this time.

「Onii-chan, you can’t play with me…」

「Eh- ahh, no, that’s not it! Yes, let’s play Sheila-chan.」

「Yes!」

…… But when the sunken voice of Sheila-chan who appeared beside me unnoticed entered my ears, I couldn’t say anything other than that.

「Nicely done, Sheila.」

「So you’re using Sheila-chan to muddle the talk again, Marry-san.」

「It’s just me being a busybody, so it’s fine. Also, I’m happy to know that Sheila can play with her Onii-chan…… And it would be easier too for you if you want to hear about that thing.」

「Kh!」

At that time, I thought I heard Marry-san and Narsena talked about something, but I decided to just play with Sheila in resignation.
