Chapter 11 (2/2)

「What are your plans?」 (Wujek)

Haruto tells Wujek the reason And thus, Wujek rin

「I see Seaweed…… then, go to Ake village 2 years ago, a stored their shi+p(s) I had lent them money to buy a new shi+p; however, the catch has been rather poor and their repayment of their debt has been delayed By some chance, If you purchase seaweed from them, it could help I would profit and everyone would be satisfied I’ll write you a letter of introduction right now」 (Wujek)

Because Haruto did not have a fishi+ng village inaware of how much he already owes Wujek, Haruto determined to not increase his debt and thus, he made his decision

「By the way, can you operate a dragon-carriage?」 (Wujek)

Upon hearing this, Haruto realized he forgot about ould drive the carriage Wujek s not able to

「Then, I will lend you Pudding」 (Wujek)

Once again, Haruto has borrowed from Wujek

He politely declines their offer of having Pudding drop him off Haruto then walked to their appointed meet up location

「Haruto-san!」 (Lora)

Lora aiting at thethe maid outfit

「Were you able to borrow the dragon-carriage?」 (Lora)

「Ah, incidentally, I was introduced to a fishi+ng village while I was there」 (Haruto)

Haruto travels to the slave trading building along with Lora Along the way, he would turn to peek at her as they walked

「So, how is it; the maid uniform that is? Is there a problem?」 (Haruto)

Being mindful, Haruto couldn’t bear but ask (T/N: bare butt ass,)

「Well, the skirt is a little on the short side」 (Lora)

「What are you saying, is there any need to be bashful……」 (Haruto)

Lora was aer any need for him to hide it or be defensive about it

When they arrived at the slave trading building, Pudding waved at thee

「Oh, a ood on you How cute Perhaps, it this your hobby?」 (Pudding)

Upon seeing Lora wearing athe tension to raise even more

「I )

「At what age are you able to drink alcohol in Clarice?」 (Haruto)

As Haruto is a e limit for alcohol consuer than 15 years of age are able to drink He tries asking Pudding

「Huh? There is no age restriction In the first place, everyone froe 12 would freely drink it Perhaps, you two haven’t had soether!! Lora-chan, you’ll serve us snacks in you )

Being startled, Lora trembled She turns to look at Haruto

「You are right, we can when everything is settled You can tell me about a mercenary’s life」 (Haruto)

「Haruto-san……」 (Lora)

Lora made a hopeless expression

「This may be my end」 (Haruto)

「Keep it together!!」 (Lora)

Froroans as he lays on Lora’s thigh 30 minutes have passed since they departed Chances are, what has kept Haruto going was Lora and her maid outfit

「It will be another 20 )

「Guh, 20 ht not make it, uh!」 (Haruto)

「Stop with the chatter!! Pudding-san, please do not give Haruto anymore despair」 (Lora)

Haruto’s complexion is pale; he is at his limit

「This is not good…… Lora, this may be my end……」 (Haruto)

「Haruto-san!!」 (Lora)

Cold sweat is wiped from Haruto’s face as Lora desperately attends to him For remainder’s sake, this is merely motion sickness

「If you two can pull off that act, then he is lively enough」 (Pudding)

Saying this, Pudding increases the speed of the carriage And thus, as the dragon-carriage beings to shake, Haruto’s groans grew louder Compared to the two-person comedy act, the person himself does seem to be on the brink of death

「We have arrived!!」 (Haruto)

Haruto tue; his vitality has returned Lora showed a relieved expression when she saw this

「Thank goodness It see lunch played a major role this time」 (Lora)

「Nope, it was in part to Lora and her )

Pudding interjected

A young ers In turn, Haruto surveyed the vicinity There was a considerable aht

「You guys (and gals), what brings you’ll here to Ake village?」 (young man)

The person’s tone of voice was slightly stiff as they ary of the 3 people who had descended froe This comes to no surprise because Haruto & company’s presence here caused quite a commotion

「My apologize for intruding In truth, I have business with the villagers here I have a letter of introduction froe chief come receive it?」 (Haruto)

Haruto reacted by showing an inviting and friendly s ed

「I see That debt collector…… the village chief is over that way」 (young man)

Saying so, the youngThe party hurried after him

Haruto observes the surrounding people Coers are tanned and thin Their loss in weight is probably the result of the strings of poor catch (fishi+ng) and the current debt they are in

They are lead to a building one sized larger than the others in the village Inside, there is an elderly person who looked as if they would drop dead at any moment

「Ji-san (gramps), an associate of the debt collector has co man)

The youngaside, Haruto and Lora thought this youngwas similar to Wujek This caused Haruto to make a wry smile

「What is it? This village doesn’t have any e chief)

It seems the chief thinks that Haruto and cohten out the

「We have come here to make a request First of all, read this letter」 (Haruto)

Haruto hands over Wujek’s letter of introduction The village chief opens the letter and starts to read it At first, the chief was expecting the worst but gradually, light returned to his eyes

After he had finished reading the letter, the chief stared at Haruto with his

「This letter, mentions that you have a job request for us What is it that I can do for you?」 (village chief)

It seems the person is interested Rather than the work, they want money If they don’t return the debt, then they will become Wujek’s slave

「It is nothing difficult I want you to sell me seaweed」 (Haruto)

「Seaweed?」 (village chief)

He is puzzled by Haruto’s words This world & culture doesn’t seem to be one that eats seaweed Therefore, the person was confused as to why Haruto would want seaweed

「After gathering the seaweed, bake the seaweed until it turns to ash and then place that ash in a barrel I will purchase one barrel worth for 1,000 Doraria each」 (Haruto)

The village chief’s eyes opened wide They saeed as nothing more than a waste product It is only natural that the chief was surprised that it orth 1 big copper coin

「What are you going to…… never mind, I have heard your request How e chief)

It see copper coin isn’tworth doing

「For no about you have 10 barrels delivered to town every week Is that acceptable?」 (Haruto)

「No problee chief)

He shakes hands with the village chief Haruto then takes out 2 contract sheets

「I will need your signature And, please don’tin except for seaweed ash, understand If you do, you will have to pay a fine and I must stress that you please don’t do it」 (Haruto)

Haruto joking says The village chief save a response

「That does sound te and all but, I will have the ash properly delivered; so, please tell e chief)

Haruto wrote down his address and then handed the chief the other contract sheet

「Will you stay the night?」 (village chief)

「No, I’m in a rush」 (Haruto)
