Chapter 52 - 47: Welcome (2/2)
Firo picks up the claw and equips it.
”It fits perfectly”
”Seems like it.”
All that's left is to connect the claw to the foot with a cord.
Firo raises her foot to confirm if the claw is actually attached.
”Feels strange~”
”This will make your offensive power even stronger than before, you'll get used to it.”
Firo's attack power with her leg is still ridiculous. Having it increase even more...
The scene where Firo kicks Motoyasu is replayed in my mind.
This time it seems Firo's kick will rip it apart.
”Firo, next time you kick that spear guy, do not use the claw.”
”Why not~?”
”Because the balls will be completely crushed.”
Though imperfect he is a Hero. I do not know what consequences there will be if I murder him. I feel it's a late now.
For Motoyasu being kicked in the groin by my subordinate would be very mortifying.
That guy's reason to live to become popular with woman.
If that happened who would be the one to inform that trash king?
”Hmm”
Firo concentrates really hard on the claw that we just bought.
Am I hearing properly?
Oh well... Whatever happens to Motoyasu doesn't concern me.
I give the slave trader 4 gold coins.
”I don't need the armour after all~”
Do the nails not fit?Firo seems to think that the armour is unnecessary.
Well, if you don't want it then that's fine.
”Now then, next...”
Hmm, I'm sure there was other business.
I can't remember after watching Motoyasu get blown off.
Certainly Raphtalia and Firo..... Ah I remember.
”Hey, slave trader. Is it possible for you to provide Class up here?”
”Class up you say?”
”Yeah because the trash king won't let my subordinates who reached level 40 class up, I am having a little trouble. I remember seeing some slaves here above level 40.”
I tell the slave trader my request, and he puts his hand on his chin to think.
”Hero-sama I regret to inform you that I cannot help with that. I do not have a letter of introduction.”
”I see...”
Did this guy Class up from the power of a slave trader?
”If you obtain enough trust with neighboring countries, you can use their Hourglass of the Dragon's era to perform Class Up.”
”What?”
Wait a minute, this isn't the only country with a Hourglass of the Dragon's era?
”They are also in other countries?”
”Yes, though it might take you time to gain trust there...”
Time is very precious right now and I cannot waste it.
will the Hero of the Shield have a bad reputation in the neighbouring countries?
This might be difficult.
”You can do it at the mercenary's country ZerutoBuru, the Demi-human country Silt Welt, and ShirudoFuriden is also available. Yup”
Tsl note: 出来そうな所というと傭兵の国ゼルトブル,亜人の国シルトヴェルト,シルドフリーデン辺りですかね If anyone has better names for these countries please let me know.
”There's that many?”
”Yes, for Hero-sama I would reccomend Silt Welt or ShirudoFuriden. You have a free pass there.”
”Hmm... How long would it take me to get there?”
”Let's see, by carriage it would be one month, and two weeks by boat.”
The slave trader brought out a map and taught me the road.
Certainly it is quite far from Merlot Mark country.
It would take Firo a little over two weeks to arrive.
Though if we don't push it 3 weeks would be the case.
Two weeks on a ship sounds good, but I would not be able to do anything during that.
”If there was a wyvern around here Hero-sama would be able to get there very quickly.”
”It is far...”
However, it would be important to Power Up because of our situation.
It shouldn't be that bad if I get new materials and monsters for my shield to absorb.
There is no meaning to stay here any longer as Raphtalia and Firo cannot improve.
Should we just go to the country of Demi-humans?
”I suppose we'll go when the wave is over.”
Seriously, that trash king is devoting so much passion into annoying me.
”I am indebted to you.”
”If that's what you think then by all means-”
”I refuse. oh right. Do you sell humans here?”
I was wondering if it would be better to sell thieves here instead of killing them.
”Humans are impossible in this country. If you look deeper there are people who will buy, but there is risk and quality to watch for.”
Indeed, so demi-humans are fine in this country. I guess this is a country of human supremacy.
”Well then, See you.”
Thus, we left the slave trader's tent. Firo returns to her human form and ties her claws with a cord to carry.
however, Raphtalia was quite for the while conversation with the slave trader.
Well, it is admirable that she didn't intervene in a business talk and make it awkward.
”It's your turn Raphtalia.”
”Ha?”
”holy water. I'm sure it's sold at a church”
”Ah, yeah”
”you're a girl Raphtalia, these black bruises would be bad.”
”well..... If Naofumi-sama is worried.”
Raphtalia mutters bashfully.
”No, I don't mind them. It's because i caused them.”
”So that's what you mean... It's nothing”
I don't understand Raphtalia sometimes.
Well, either way it's decided.
