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
