Vol 1 Chapter 9 (2/2)

They el's coefficient[1]

From noon, I was to run errands

With that, I should learn a bit about the price level, too

Aunty gave me 100 Rook and sent me on my first errand

1 Rook = 1 copper coin

100 Rook = 1 silver coin

10000 Rook = 1 gold coin

That's how the money in this world works

I received one silver coin and put it into the s from my belt

All things considered, this is a tranquil town

Well,difference to there

”Ahhh, there's a weird Silver Hair! Silver Hair, Silver Hair!”

On the way, soht with me

It's annoying, but I don't want to cause shi+on-san trouble, so let's not be rash

”Ahh, you”

”I'm Kal!”

so?

So what?

Why did you just introduce yourself so triumphantly?

You're just Stupid Brat with somewhat reddish, frizzy hair

” ehhhm, Kal-kun?”

”You, what grade are you in?”

Maybe I should tear him a new one after all?

I wonder, do I gain proficiency froainst humans?

I'm suddenly in the mood for some inhuman experiments

”I'm Alice”

However!

I' at the moment!

I' to cause problems!

”Alice~? Silver-Haired Alice~! So weird!”

He ran circles aroundfunny

Just when I had started to rather seriously think about bringing hell on earth upon this brat, someone hit him over the head with their fist

”Agh, OWWW!”

”You're an embarrassment, so stop! I'm really sorry!”

A girl with the same somewhat reddish, frizzy hair as the stupid brat

Her skin is a healthy light brown and the freckles suit her superbly

His sister, probably, earnestly apologized for the stupid brat and dragged him away

”Haa”

That's one of the things that happened

And like that, I went along the h it was noon, there weren't many people around

A fruit store, a vegetable store, a butcher, there was even a fish dealer

Since they have fish, does that mean there's a sea nearby?

I can't think they'd refrigerate the fish and carry it from afar

For the ti

One rinnal costs 3 Rook

A vegetable that looks like nothing but a large radish costs 1 Rook

A fillet of unidentifiable meat, 5 Rook

4 Rook for afish

Well, even if I buy foodstuff for the whole fae left

They left what I buy to uess I'll make curry I can make it after all

”Hm?”

Just when I was about to start buying, a large carriage came onto the main road

It seeathered a lot of stares

Of course, I'm part of that crowd, too

The carriage has a splendid design and is a pleasure to behold for a newbie at other worlds like me

is what I thought at first, but there's sohtly ominous about it

Taking a closer look at it as it coe

It reh that it's extremely impressive

A cage blending into that design

That's my impression

And the coach beside him are considerably suspicious, too

The coachman wears a quite unsociable, cold expressionlessness, but with his black hair and black eyes, well, he's handsome

He still has a mean look in the eyes

Age-wise e?

He still has a mean look in the eyes

””

I stared at him too intensely, so our eyes met

Well, I don't care

The ht about the intensity of a mafioso, so to speak

He had his hair all swept back and covered one eye with an eye-patch like Captain Hook

His appearance i respectable

Ahh, I et involved here

If I do, shi+on-san will be ain

I' I was on the verge of turning around

I was on the verge, but

As the carriage went pastarea and turned back

As I was the only personcrowd, the person on the loading area shi+fted her attention to me, too

She is around e now?

Shoulder-length blond hair

Tired green eyes, despaired of the world

Her breasts don't have the volume of shi+on-san's, but her body is round where it counts and tight where it's right; a ure different from mine

Like an exhibition piece, she was carried in the cage

No, she was put on exhibition

”A slave?”

Maybe she picked up uessed them, but she sorrowfully cast down her eyes

The carriage just continued down the street

Finally the people turned audience noisily returned to their daily work

Ae until the end

Before it disappeared, I think ”She” turned around and met my eyes once more
