Chapter 243 (2/2)

“Caught up in crying act?”

“Takumi, what are you making such a curious face for?”

“No… I just don’t understand a little . ”

“You look here, the newbie adventurers don’t have the knowledge and their judgment is poor, so they bring back everything they can carry . Most of them of no value . They will reach a point in their lives where they will be able to bring back valuables once they gain enough experience, but they have to make living until then . ”

Oh, that’s what he was talking about . Normally, you can only carry so much, plus you need to save up strength to fight . And if you are a rookie, you probably don’t even have a magic bag .

If they bring back a lot of junk that doesn’t make much money, they are going to cry to the shopkeepers for some payment, no?

Sheesh~ Considering that, having Infinite Storage is really great .

“I see, it appears you never had this problem, Takumi . ”

“Thankfully, yes . ”

Kevin-san is aware of my Infinite Storage, so he guessed I don’t have the typical rookie experiences . Oh, I do still consider myself a rookie, though .

“Oh, you lads are adventurers too?”

“These children and I are adventurers . He’s not . ”

“”Adventurers~””

“Ehh, these little pipsqueaks too!? You must have your hardships even though you are this young . ”

“?”

This shopkeeper recognizes “young adventurer = hardships” . I do look young and I have to small kids with me, so he must have thought I am having quite a difficult time .

Well, if he gets tricked by crying adventurers all this time then it’s no wonder he misunerstood~

“I’m luckily not having that much of a difficult time . By the way, I will buy this . How much is it?”

I secured a bottle of more than a dozen vanilla beans from the shelf where obscure items were gathered .

“Lad, you know what this is?”

“I believe it should be a flavoring . ”

“Flavoring? They look just like withered twigs to me . ”

“I don’t know whether it’s the same thing I know, but… I often purchased these things that looked like withered twigs . ”

“You must have had a difficult time paying for food back in those days . ”

“……”

This shopkeeper must be a really good person .

“In any case, I would appreciate if you could buy this off of me . N~ how about 50G?”

“All right . Umm, how many are in there? About twenty?”

“Wait a moment . It’s all for 50G, you know?”

“Eh? It wasn’t the price for a single stick?”

To think it was the price for the entire jar . Wouldn’t that make it dirt cheap?

“Please make sure you are going to make a profit out of this . ”

“It’s okay . ”

So he can make a profit even though it’s this cheap?

Just how much at wits’ end were the adventurers who sold it to him?

“”Onii~chan . ””

“N? What is it?”

“”Can buy this?””

As I was taking pity on the adventurers I have never met before, the children who were scavenging through the obscure items brought a soft-looking red ball-shaped object .

I didn’t what it was, so when I appraised it, it said it was a jellyfish remains .

“… Do you know what that is?”

“”No, dunno . ””

“But, it’s softy-soft~”

“And comfyyy~”

It seems to have a nice feel to it .

“Oh, you are right . ”

When I gave it a try, it was like the children said . Very pleasant to touch .

“You can buy it, but don’t try eating it even by a mistake . ”

“”Okay~””

The two must have liked it quite a lot as they kept playing with the soft corpse of a jellyfish .
