Just a little new, I just got the coverof Bocchi volume 1

Enjoy!!!

When I went to visit the fortress city of Kare, I brought Lara the Laether with o

I somehow felt anxious since Lara was a monster Was it really safe for her to sneak into a town full of humans?

But since she declared she could transform into a hu

Though Lara could use《Soaring》fro speed was far below mine

There was also a li》

Since there was no other way, I carried Lara[huh speed

Lara had a tranced look on her face, while she had her slender arms circled around my neck [TL Lara is a shotacon, just for reminder]

「F-Flying while being carried with Ohimesamadakko[1] by a shota ……………… F, FINALLY I CAN DIE WITHOUT REGRETS」

I said, ”Don't call me shota”

[TL : little boy, have high potential to becofield][ED: I think Honey from Ouran hshc is a better example]

First, we decided to visit a synthetic ic tool shop within the fortress city of Kare

This was to exa》 that went out of tune

Just as I thought, the《Telephone Earring》 was a defective item

I received a brand new earring, along with an apology from the shopkeeper

I waived the compensation money, since I’m not a claimer

Our next destination was a store called 『Meruru☆Material Shop』

It was a certain shop in the fortress city of Kare that specialized in trading raw ic potions, rare plants, etc

The shop's full name was『Meruru☆Raw Material Shop』

The cute sounding『Meruru☆Raw Material Shop』 waspassed her sixtieth birthday

I felt like I was being cheated

I was inforo and has been in business since then Quite the old timer

The shop's grand the [☆] mark to the shop name, due to the impulse of her youth

I noted that if by so like a store in the future, I would not attach a『☆』to the store name

『Ash☆Raw Material Shop』

Yep, forget it

『Ash†Raw Material Shop』

If it's that, I ht consider it

…………Store name aside

I thought I got ripped off because the buying price of the rawprice of the store

It seeh they couldn’t do their business if the purchase price wasn’t below half of the sale price

Hearing that, I finally understood the reasoning behind the low purchase price

But, I figured there were other places to sell the her prices

Like the Dark route, for example For example, the Dark route

Anyways, I am currently not financially troubled

Because of that, I held back fro the raw materials

I would sell it here though if there were no other alternatives

Also, regarding the eggs of cockatrice, since it was treated as a high-class ingredient rather than raw ular intervals, I was advised by Meruru baa-san to sell it at a trading place

Regarding the cockarice eggs, they were considered as high class ingredients instead of raw ular intervals Meruru baa-san advisedplace

I also bought several medicinal plants called 『Stone Ward Grass(Seki Bousou[2])』since I found the sold in the shop

It was apetrification

They were indispensable goods for the cockatrice ranch plan

According to baa-san, it seerass

Hearing that, I suddenly remembered

I had seen sirass at the place where I found those cockatrices in the great prairie In the great prairie I had seen sirass near the location I discovered the cockatrices

Thank kareat to have some 『Stone Ward Grass』in hand to help confirm it at the place later

It appeared that there was not just reat prairie, but countless lucrative plants that grew abundantly there as well

Baa-chan's 『Meruru☆Raw material Shop』 did not just purchase and sell raw material, it even sold 『Books』

50 Years of Material Collecting was a book written by Meruru baa-san about her personal experiences

There was an Raw Animal Material Encyclopedia, a Raw Plant Material Encyclopedia, and a Raw Monster Material Encyclopedia book

The encyclopedias included the ecology of plants, animals, and monsters in them

On top of that⎯⎯

On top of that, it had which part of the animal or plant could become a raw material, their value, the uses and effects of plants, and the type of ic potion the raw reat detail

It was very easy to understand thanks to the accurate illustrations included

[TL : did he just ACCIDENTALLY find a WALKTHROUGH?]

They were like picture books, however, for the price of 5 gold coins for a set of three, they were not cheap at all

I decided to purchase it anyway because I got the feeling I would need them in the future

Afterwards, Meruru baa-san asked, ”Boy after I retire, if you are interested in my material shop, would you want to take over?” in a tone that was difficult to tell if she was serious or not

I a

There was no reason for her to propose to give her store someone she had just met for the first time

Meruru baa-san then said while blushi+ng, ”You look just like my childhood friend that passed away last year You resemble when he was a boy” I think this was a joke too

When the talk regarding the succession of the store caave a suitable excuse to slip away

Even if the baa-san meant it, I still would not dare to jump carelessly into that kind of talk

Once I take over the store, I would discover that it was actually heavily in debt, and then I would have to be responsible for it —I can i

That's why as a rule, I doubt every elaborate and te talk like this, it always has a hidden side [evil intention] to it It's in er has faith in humans

Our next destination was the trading place the baa-san told us

What she had said turned out to be true cockatrice eggs were indeed sold at a high price

The buying price for eggs was 2~5 gold coins, whereas the sale price in the store ice that [confir what baa-chan said about sale price= 2xpurchase]

The variation in price sees No need for comma

Even though they were expensive, the eggs were popular because they were delicious and had high nutritional value There was such a high dees

I realized that there was considerable demand for them

One or two eggs would not pose a problem However, it see place, to receive tens to hundreds of eggs periodically Regardless of the demand

First, it would be necessary to affiliatetransactions continuously

The registration could probably be done using a false nae, etc

It's just that, if I joined theperiodic transactions

I It was called 『Tax』

The ones who collected the 『Tax』 were the official government(tax official) of this country

In addition, they took 40~70 percent of the profit[ED: Isn't that low? ED2: Fixed]

Even if you try to falsify the a lower-than-actual sale while exaggerating the business expense, it still could not deceive the expert eyes of those tax officials

It was different if it was a one shot business transaction to gain a small sum of money but, in order to continuously do affiliated transactions with the ood

Regarding the ation for filling an entry register with details about the contents of transactions and the dates

In the end, I thought I should just sell it through the dark route

So, I went towards the Slu with Lara in her human form

My purpose was to meet Greed, the dark uild

I alking according to the instructions that I received, looking for the building that was used for the hiding place of the thief guild

By the e stopped concealing our presence soo

The slu structure erected haphazardly; additions and reconstructions within the area were all over the place

The so called hiding place, located inside of this area, wouldn’t be easily found

Even if so with the address, they still couldn’t find that place easily

In the first place, they also didn’t know the whereabouts of the address they receive

Or should I say, currently, I also didn’t knohere that address was

I lost antic labyrinth called the Slum district

I still lostthe street below
