I understood the theory about how the economic base determines the superstructure of a hu economy system within this world

(T/N: In Marxist theory, human society is comprised of two parts, the base and superstructure, with the base (Means of Production) affects the superstructure(Art, Ideology, Laws, etc) For o search it up on Wiki)

With the Black Merchant Caravan as the basis, the syste autarky with caravans doing foreign trades along the trade routes

(T/N: Autarky: Economic independence For more info, here's a Wiki link for you lazy bums)

Holding a cigarette in hter Alas, it was out of fuel

Well, it's decent quality lighter that had costed e lifespan of a e It's already been 68 days since I came here……

(T/N: China's unit of currency if you still didn't know by now)

Slipping the lighter back into my pocket, I decided to keep it as a memento of my past

It was the usual peace and quiet at Mount Dochi today Once I woke up in thewater,at the cute sleeping face of my Xifu

Around half past nine in thehorn that I hadn't heard in a long tin of the Black Merchant Caravan

'Going out?'(Xifu)

'Want to buy things?'

'No, just……going for a ith you'

Once she said that, only had I realized that I could even understand colloquial ter for a walk'

‘Sure'

'This black, this, can no wear?'

'Umm…no, must wear'

'Oh…'

'Hehe, you wear too?'

'No no, I no need'

If you are to buy goods fro this black mantle was a must This rule was made for those nonhuman customers

On the contrary, the ards to their gender

Regardless, it was an interesting rule It probably wassome timid merchants The bowler hats were probably there to differentiate the identities

Once again, I was standing at the lead carriage with the black evil-looking logo of the sun on it Well, rather than describing the black sun, the entire carriage was made withblack-coloured wood

This made me think of the evil villains in those western fantasy movies Would there be a Headless Horseman in this world too?

Being in a good mood, I knocked on the black plaque

And then, the entire plaque started to rise

Yep… it really started to rise……

Hey, I' for death! All I did was knock on the plaque twice, and it started to rise with mechanical sounds as if some trap had been activated There wouldn't be poisoned arrows shooting froht?

Fortunately, there weren't arrows behind the plaque, but a single person within the carriage

The only thing is, he seemed familiar……

The hell! Aren't you the boss of the bar!?

'You're…!' x2

Both of us exclaithe bow out

'Didn't really expect to see you here, Mr Lou Woo'

'Y-Yeah'

Who the hell would expect this!? What, you're not properlythis as a part-time job now?!

'And this is…?'

'Ah, this is my wife'

'So it's Madame Lou Woo Pleasure to meet you'
