V3C79 (2/2)

I paid for the town entry tax and entered the town.

Unfortunately, my Commoner level did not rise.

There sure were many buildings constructed with bricks inside the town. Conversely, there were hardly any wooden buildings.

Stalls that sold grilled meat stood out.

I was also delighted to find out that there were other shops selling something like cheese.

On the contrary, the price of vegetables was considerably high.

It was nearly double the price compared to those in Florence.

There were hardly any fishes sold.

“Ichino-sama, let’s first go to the trading post then head for the stable.”

“Okay. After that is done, we can sell the ant materials at the Adventurers Guild and finally deliver the kitchen knife to the inn and rest … okay?”

When I said that, Malina reproachfully glared at me.

I wanted to see what reaction she would give when I took her mask as she was sleeping but for some reason, she just fixedly glared at me without getting angry like before.

Well, I can’t let her become a hindrance to Carol during the negotiations by saying strange things so I’ll keep her like this for now.

It’s great to have peace and quiet.

Tentatively, I took out the spices and iron from my item bag and placed them in the carriage.

The carriage became a lot more cramp all of the sudden so we exited the carriage.

“Can I leave all of the transactions this time to Carol’s discretion?”

“Are you sure?”

I nodded and took out a purple scarf.

“I bought this at the border town. It should be just right for hiding the slave collar?”

Just like how I wrapped the red scarf around Haru, I wrapped the purple scarf around Carol.

“Haru, sorry but please stand-in as her guard. Since this time, I will really just carry the goods into the shop and stay outside the shop.”

“Ichino-sama, thank you. I will try my best to live up to Ichino-sama’s expectations.”

I patted Carol’s head with a smile and then we carried the goods together.

Malina fixedly stared at our interactions.
