Vol 8 Chapter 121 (2/2)
Just as Tanya had said, a toas really formed
And as soon as they arrived, the o, they split up into those to stay, and those to return, uards
There was o on the way, but when she asked, she heard another merchant party was on their way They would arrive a few days later
Miranda was curious as to what theit like that, but her infored the topic
The goods on sale leanedtime
Soredients to cook in stone furnaces built up with ic
After distributing luggage to the iuild receptionists went off to their prepared tent, and began handling paperwork
They had horses prepared, and it was clear they would be getting in contact with the guild regularly
While Miranda walked her way back to the place her party had been afforded, a number of adventurers immediately made their way to the tents of the harlots
“Hey, ain’t five silver too steep? How’s three sound?”
To the haggling adventurer, the irls smiled
“Sir, we’ve also risked our lives to come to these distant lands to do business There’s no harht around the best of the best”
The adventurer did not back down
“Quit lying! Cooing there, buddy!”
But the man
“Then so be it We’ll merely tend to other customers And as we’ve just arrived, we haven’t even finished setting up shop If you help out, I won’t hter on your wallet”
A few fleeting glances froness to help with construction and other work
When she turned her eyes to a different place, a troupe of perfor their tunes
“It sure is lively here”
When she said that, a voice called over
“Well of course it is When an adventurer’s earning money, then so are the h to fight days on end without any entertainment”
When she turned around, she say a blond-haireda one-handed sith a conspicuously long hilt
Lightly arlance Miranda dealt with him with a smile
“What business do you have with me?”
He also greeted her sht, protruded his thumb, and pointed it at himself
“I’et to know a pretty wo to talk about with your leader”
When Miranda slackened her arms, and took a stance as if to draw her weapon, her conversation partner frantically persisted it was a joke
“Don’t get so angry! I really do want to ht? I don’t want things to get into a s out”
When she moved her hands away from her weapons, her opponent seemed relieved
(He looks like he takes things slow, but he sure reacts fast And he )
Miranda gave that judgean to explain the situation
“Boss Alette is fundamentally here to train up her o into the red I’ll follow her orders, with her being boss, but any more is uncalled for To us, she’s a commander to rejoice over”
After watching the ive his explanation, Miranda spoke
“And what exactly is It you want from us? If you’re here to cut our profit, I really don’t want to refer you”
Albano dismissively waved his hand
“I’ you, that’s not it Boss Alette’s seriously battle-oriented We’re mobility, or how should I put it, recon-specialized Well, Well, I’ and all”
Looking over him, Miranda could tell he was the sa and setting traps And lightweight garments easy to move around in…
(Cohtly ar like that?)
“So I don’t want you guys to go too far ahead, and stir up trouble There are souys, and you don’t want to make an enemy of me or Alette There’s profit in it for all You can even confir him when all’s said and done”
Thinking he was a diligent
“You’ll do that much? If you want us to confirm it, I can send Lyle over to your place”
Albano made a reluctant expression
“Now that would be troublesome They’re not all as mannered as s that riles theht with that Creit And the Boss’ mood’s taken a turn for the worse”
It seems he did have his reasons when he came over himself
(Not that I can call you too well-mannered either But any worse than that really will be a problem Perhaps he’s decent if he’s at least mindful of that)
Miranda didn’t feel he had said any lies, but she decided to check anyways
“I’ll go to Alette-san’s place to confirain I’h”
It wasn’t a large town
It was merely a small space that held the functionality of one Not that there were any other villages around to compare it with
“Fine bythe entertainers toht after that, and I want to enter the Labyrinth after I’ve explained it out with him By the as your name?”
Miranda smiled
“It’s Miranda Well then, if everything you said was true, then we’ll ”
After his business was finished, Albano walked off
While he looked ill-natured, it seenize him
(It’ll be different froation at Centralle This time, those around us are already used to it, and we’ll be the ones learning a thing or two Even so…)
Miranda walked towards where Porter was stationed
The tent prepared there was the place Lyle’s party was to sleep This time, Porter wouldn’t be able to enter the Labyrinth itself, so it was going to be used as housing
When she got closer, she found the other uild
They were food rations, bread, dried meat, and the like
Monica was seriously thinking over how she was going to cook them
Lyle was helping Clara check over the Mini-Porter Porter mimic
May was lying down over Porter’s roof, and letting out a yawn
Eva displayed interest to the songs drifting through the air, and Noveeted restlessly
Tired fros out of Porter’s loading tray
Novee with Eva
And Miranda looked at Novem’s staff
(Purchased in Beim, she says? Why was there a need for her to lie about so like that?)
The metallic silver staff boasted quite a simple make The area to hold it was carved of black-stained wood
Silver extended from the wood on both ends, and the upper portion of it also had quite a sio
She remembered Lyle’s reaction shen he first saw it
『Ah, that one looks like Novem’s old staff』
What part of it? Miranda didn’t ask such a question to confirm it, but she knew fro staff-like from her family
(There’s a possibility it’s so matches up too well)
Miranda couldn’t help but be wary of Novem
And Novem calmly turned to face her
It was as if she had noticed her from the start
(… Someday, I’ll peel off that human skin of yours, monster)
As she returned to her co on her mind…
