Chapter 17 (2/2)

“Hood condition, but the one over here is of even higher quality than the rest…”

The sword the young , if I’m not mistaken, was the one that the incoh incompetent, he seemed to have had the best sword

One only had to look at the workmanshi+p of the sheath and the brilliance of the blade to draw a clear distinction between the other swords

At any rate, he didn’t notice that as he was engrossed in deliberation, a fretting voice escaped from him Had he hidden that earlier piece of inforained for a cheaper price and sold it at a markup elsewhere…

I wondered, can this person become successful as a merchant?

“When you add it all together, with the a…then, how should I narrow it down…hm~m”

“How about 10 seok apiece, 150 seok altogether, Peddler-dono?

As there will be the infiltration operation after this, I didn’t want to bring along an excessive a less funds in an unfavorable bargainsince I’ht now

“Eh!? Isn’t it 30 when you normally buy one?!”

“…Merchant-dono, it’s best to keep silent about such facts…”

When the young merchant spewed out a much too honest price for each sword and I offered some candid advice, he panickedly covered up his mouth with his hands

“Yes, I was able to sell the loot froood price”

“I’m amazed The so-called business that you had to take care of was…”

When I infor the contents of my business, Ariane had an astonished expression as she stared at luttonous Ponta jumped down onto the table, te the fur on her belly, and pulled her into an embrace

The night had advanced considerably; in succession, the surrounding stalls were in thetheir operations Danka, who’d been asleep till now, abruptly stood up and exchanged a look with Ariane

Ariane nodded and quietly left her seat

“Let’s go”

As I leftunnoticed on the table, lifted her head and hastily ran up toher on her usual reserved seat, I heldthe lead, followed after him
