Vol 5 Chapter 7 (2/2)
I was taken back by her comment because Chiome hadn’t spoken about her family before
However, she shook the head as she answered
“No, even though I call hireat ninjas He bears the name Sasuke”
Her eyebroered and she looked off in the distance after she spoke
It was a familiar name
I reht up in the conversation Chioe
If I was re about Sasuke’s whereabouts
Since that conversation wasn’t soht about it for a bit before giving her an auous response
“I see, large quantiles had been dried so there should be enough for you to take home”
Ariane didn’t have any interest in the food and there was only so much of it that I could use
The leftovers were still half-dried and fried kraken see as I cut it into thin pieces
It actually ive Ariane soht crossed my mind, a half-asleep Ariane made her way on deck with her hair still disheveled from sleep
The lack of other woure meant that the sailors’ eyes immediately honed in on Ariane, just like e boarded the shi+p
I didn’t know if she are of the stares, but the way she ht spent in a narrow cabin only strengthened her already alluring feminine charms
“GoodAriane-dono”
“GoodArc Why are the beds in the cabin so hard…… because if that my body is sore all over”
Ariane rubbed her back and sighed afterthat comment
Just as I was about to say soathered everyone’s attention
When I focusedupon a town just off the starboard bow
“We’ve arrived in Plymouth”
I heard soe coastal city
It was larger than any human city I’d seen Despite the fact that ere on a hundred- shi+p, but it felt minuscule compared to the city
I’d thought that the elven city Landria we sailed from ell developed, but Polymath outclassed it
There weren’t any high-rise tree-apartments like in eleven cities, but the architecture was sidom’s capital, only spread out over a hilly landscape
Chio her surprise beside me
“I’ve heard the stories but, this city is huge It’s like a hu up from the countryside”
Ariane ree
“Judging froht house a hundred thousand people……”
As the Liebbelta approached Plyan to pass by other shi+ps just heading out
The cree passed had a lot of of beasto around their shi+ps
When the Liebbelta pulled into one of the city’s piers, the sturdy beast the shi+p in place
Once that was done, the unloading of the cargo began After saying goodbye to the captain and collecting our baggage we crossed the wooden bridge and stepped onto the pier
Beastht ar part in the unloading had to have their baggage checked by them
When Ariane pulled out a letter she received frouards only looked it over before allowing us to enter Plymouth without issue
Plyetic city I’ve ever visited
While thearound were beastmen, a decent number of dark elf sailors were mixed in with them
The outskirts of the port gave way to an opentheir wares to the crowds of people trying to buy them
While it seemed like alked into the middle of a festival, so the marketplace was bound to draw attention
“This is aht of each other if we look away for a moment”
Ariane spoke what crossed her mind behind roup advanced forward
Though it had been e crowds
I was actually quite relaxed in urban settings, and after such a long absence of experiencing it, I was feeling a bit nostalgic being here
Well, there was nothing I could do about it
Instead, I focused on the various spices and other miscellaneous food that lined some of the stalls we passed
Ponta’s tail restlessly wagged about as her eyes danced across all the food on display
As my eyes continued to wander, I suddenly stopped at a certain stall because an ongoing arguht my ear
“What!? Why’s the price so her than usual!?”
The yelling custo with a bear-eared male stand owner about the price of certain spices
“Isn’t it inevitable? The western tiger-tribe members have started to disappear These are the last of my red nails you know?”
The bear-eared man stand owner looked down on the customer as if he were a nuisance and pressed him to buy or leave
The wolf-earedunwilling to pay such a high price for the spice
As I watched the exchange play out, my feet unconsciously moved towards the street stall
“Hey, Arc!? Are there some tomatoes over there?”
Ariane brought up the iteht us to the Southern Continent and made me act in a similar fashi+on the other day when she called out to me
However, I was too busytowards the street stall to answer her
My eyes were i
It was shaped like a claw and had the size of an index finger Its flesh was a bright red color and a bit wrinkled
This ite I was familiar with
“Shopkeeper, are these spicy?”
I picked up one of the red nails and asked the stall owner about its characteristics for confirmation
The bear-eared man seems a little confused by the man in full-body armor’ssudden question, but he was quick to realize what I was asking
“A-Ah Despite their appearance, those are often referred to as the “devil nails” due to their spiciness”
I was convinced of the nature of what I was holding by that answer
……these devil nails were red chili peppers
