V2C50 (1/2)
(050) Crossing thoughts within a small head
Translator: Tseirp
Author’s note:
Ichinojo & Miri’s p.o.v. are in 1st person.
Other people’s p.o.v. (Mainly in Side Stories) are in 3rd person.
When we reached the outside of the labyrinth, we aimed for the Herbalist shop at full speed.
I heard along the way that blood transfusion is only done in the capital city of this country.
They prepare dedicated slaves for the sake of drawing blood and directly draw blood for transfusions … there were even times when the blood was drawn until the slaves died.
It’s a heart-wrenching story but apparently, only criminal slaves who had committed serious crimes are chosen.
Looks like there aren’t blood packs in this world.
For that reason, to increase blood, the best method would be to drink blood-forming medication made by Herbalists.
Apparently, it is a perishable medication so most adventurers don’t carry it on them.
We carried Sebastan until within the Herbalist Guild facility.
Confirming his condition … along with Oregeru’s dressing, a big-shot rushed over, immediately prescribed herbs and began treatment.
As we saw Sebastan getting carried off to the back of the room,
“I’m terribly indebted. This is a gift from me.”
He said as he passed a small bag full of coins to me.
” … I’ll gracefully accept.”
Since half of it belongs to Jofre and Elise.
“Yup, I’ll be troubled if you don’t. Haurvatat, I pray for your good health … also, I will someday become even stronger. When that time comes, I hope to have a match once.”
“It’s good to become stronger but try not to inconvenience the people around you okay.”
“Yup, I’ll bear that in mind.”
I’m uneasy as to whether he really got it or not but he’s not that bad a person after all.
Then, I was asked to return Carol to the Slave Trading Post.
When I exited the Herbalist Guild, Haru, Carol, Jofre, and Elise were waiting.
“Sebastan should be alright. We’re headed to the Slave Trading Post for now but what do the 2 of you plan to do?”
“We’d like to tour … or more importantly, eat, I want to eat delicious food.” (Jofre)
“The preserved food weren’t really tasty ne.” (Elise) (TL: ‘ne’ is just a cute/informal female way of ending a sentence, like ‘right?’ or ‘ don’t you think?’)
Even though she made such a mess while frantically eating it, she completely shot it down.
“Moreover, if we cash these in, we should be able to live leisurely for some time.”
“We’ll be able to live leisurely ne.”
The 2 of them held the medals in front of them.
Rare Medals are items that can strengthen monsters. Usually, one would not be able to obtain them without defeating rare monsters. In addition, one medal can go for 30 thousand sense. With 60 thousand for 2 medals, it’s quite an expensive item. It has the same value as 3 gold coins. I have 4 medals as well so maybe I should go with them to cash them in as well.
As I was having that thought.
“”Ah.””
Centaur bit Jofre and Elise’s hands with a chomp.
When they instinctively retracted their hands, the drool-covered Rare Medals …
… Gokun.
Entered Centaur’s stomach with that onomatopoeia. (TL: Lol is this a prelude to Centaur becoming an OP donkey? Hahah since Rare Medals level up monsters)
“Spit it out, spit it out Centaur! That’s for our food expenses!”
“We’re penniless. Please.”
The 2 of them shook Centaur but it ignored them and continued eating the carrots I prepared as bait. They would most likely get angry … or so I thought,
“Oh well. Thinking about it, it’s thanks to Centaur that we were able to obtain the Rare Medals in the first place.”
“That’s right. Without Centaur, we wouldn’t have been able to reach this town as well.”
The 2 of them looked like they came to accept what happened. For times like this, I thought that the word foolish(baka) could be used as a complimentary term as well.
Well, it’s a medal to strengthen monsters so it is the correct way to use it.
“You 2, I’ve gotten gold from Oregeru. Half of the portion I received was for you 2.”
As I said so, I checked the contents of the leather bag.
It was a mix of silver and gold coins in bundles without a single copper coin.
A decent amount … no, my money sense has been crumbling lately, if it’s when I was in Japan, it’s a considerable amount of money.
It was a total of 86000 sense so I split out 43000 sense.
Incidentally, without realizing, Jofre and Elise now possessed item bags. They said that they picked it up so I guess they really picked it up.
“Ooo, we can eat delicious food with this.” (Jofre)
“Also, we can buy saddles for 2 to put on Centaur. After that, we have to get armor for Jofre as well ne.” (Elise)
“That’s right, since it gets pretty tiring to ride on him directly. Later, we’ll have to buy a whip for Elise too na.” (Jofre)
“No, if we’re going to buy my whip then Jofre’s sword comes first. I mean, Jofre’s my knight-sama after all.” (Elise)
“No, if we’re buying my sword then we must get a buckler for Elise first. It’s the role of the knight to think about the safety of the princess first, right?” (Jofre)
” … Jofre.” (Elise)
” … Elise.” (Jofre)
“「Slash」!”
My 「Slash」sunk into the surface between the 2 of them. The power sure has increased.
Well, the 2 of them were already used to it so they were not shocked by my 「Slash」.
“Do you 3 want to join? Let’s do a victory celebration!”
“To celebrate our victory! Ne, Jofre, who did we win against?”
“That is, of course, ourselves! Every day, we win against our yesterday’s self to live today.”
“Then we must have victory celebrations everyday ne.”
Yup, instead of daily victory celebrations, it should be every day happy day for you 2.
Regardless of their luck stat, the needle on their happiness status meter is most likely blown out of range.
“I’ll decline, as mentioned earlier, we have to go to the slave trading post so we’ll be parting with the 2 of you here.”
“I see! Then I wish you happiness! Jo~! Haru! Caro!”
“Be happy! Jo~! Haru! Caro!”
Those 2 happy individuals wished for our happiness as they rode off on Centaur.
