Chapter 91 (1/2)
Kaede's eyes sparkle on the bustling main street.
This is a town that is relatively close to the village.
It's small compared to other places, but you can buy a great deal of things here.
Also, there are no guilds in the village, so you'll have to come here to petition.
”Well, I'm going to sell the vegetables we harvested.”
”Perfect. Meet me at the entrance when you're done?
”Yes, no problem.”
Nei pulls a small cart loaded with vegetables.
Frau, Alusha and Pione accompanied her to lend a hand.
With a fairy and an elf tagging along, I'm sure sales will increase due to the rare sight.
Pione also has a gentle demeanor and is surprisingly strong. With three people accompanying Nei, she should be alright
By the way, me and Soara used to help her a lot.
For some reason, the sales were not enough, and I remember finally going back home with Nei, eating some vegetables. It's a good memory.
”It seems like only yesterday we were selling vegetables together.”
”That's right. Come to think of it, we sold a lot when you were with us.”
”Of course. I'm friendly, pretty, have big breasts, and I encourage people to buy.”
”How modest.”
You're the only person I know who would say something like that as a matter of course.
She really had me fooled.
At first, Nei didn't believe me when I told her that Soara had hit me in the head with an empty bottle.
Now that she's showing her true personality, things have changed for the better.
Soara wraps her arm around mine.
”Hey.”
”It's okay. You usually let Frau and Kaede do it, it wouldn't be bad if we shared Toru a little.”
”Well, if you put it that way...”
”Toru is a simpleton, that helps.”
”At least say it when no one's listening.”
For now, we split up into several groups.
Me and Soara
Kaede and Lynn.
Marianne and Luna.
We will probably meet up with each other at some point, but first we will prioritize where we each want to go.
And since Panda left with Frau, Rosuke will be the one accompanying me.
I have been taking care of him regularly, but he is surprisingly lonely, so I have been trying to spend as much time with him as possible.
”Sha.”
”What, you want that?”
”Sha!”
Rosuke stares at the merchandise from the air.
He doesn't actually have eyes, but I can tell by the direction of his head.
In any case, Rosuke rarely becomes interested in anything.
It was an object that could be found anywhere, a simple metal file.
Perhaps you would like to rub your body with this?
Rosuke's body is flexible but tough.
Even if he were to rub his body against a piece of wood, the wood would be the one to get scratched.
I bought the file and lightly scraped it against Rosuke's head.
Rosuke was happy.
”Toru, stop giving your pet all of your attention. You have me, your wonderful priest and slave, at your side.”
”You're not a slave-- Ugh...”
*Gyum*
Soara steps on my foot with all her might.
”Insensitive. There's something I have to tell you.”
”And what would that be?”
”I've been watching and thinking: Are you properly showing gratitude to Kaede and Frau? Surely you thank them properly, don't you?”
At Soara's words, I frowned and bowed my head.
Show gratitude?
Is it not enough to say thank you?
”Haah~, I knew it. Listen, Toru, you have to take good care of women. Every little thing adds up and has a big impact on the rest of your life.”
”What are you trying to say?”
”You have to give them gifts, but considering the number of people, it's really hard, so let's compromise with something.”
”The number of people?”
I thought we were just talking about Kaede and Frau.
