Chapter 222 – Orihalcon (8)
─It’s all over the place.
We left the Witch’s Mansion happily.
The method was a little strange, but I got the boat. The concern was alleviated.
“Now it’s really just sightseeing!”
We were the ones who shouted that and returned to the Qudses, but there were more people on the roadside, probably because it was past lunchtime. Veronica covered her mouth at the vibrating smell of Adda. Fighting our horse daughter.
“Let’s go down a quiet road. There are two days left. There is no rush.”
Fran said while holding Veronica’s hand. As if worried about pickpockets, Dana sighed as she touched the wallet in her arms.
“Is that so? Even though it is a trading city, it seems to have a little too many people.”
“It’s because it’s a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of”
These were the words of a dwarf passer-by who suddenly intervened. I thought I was an invisible person for a moment because I was a dwarf with all the world. Perhaps he was pure-blooded, he was shorter than Fran.
“What is the buffet?”
“Bizofest. A beer festival.”
“Oh! Is it that week already?”
Was it a known festival? As our Franc’s eyes lit up, the dwarven passer-by nodded solemnly. Like the drunken Dwarves, they seem to have united with one beer.
“Cancer. That’s why I came all the way from Nidavellir to Ye. Isn’t this festival a great opportunity to taste beers from all over the world?”
“I’ve only heard about it… After all, it’s autumn after the harvest season is over.”
“Right. Artisans from all over the world are brewing beer to gain recognition in Germania, the hometown of beer, and they say there are already over 100 types!”
Like an otaku who met a friend from where he transferred from, a dwarf who is a liquidator. He shouted in Britannia and stole his chin.
“Big! I’m already salivating. The dark-haired lady over there seems to be a harp, but she must not have been interested in Bizofest?”
“Nope! I have it! There is… That…”
Fran shouted happily and looked at my complexion. What. Aren’t these things usually what the husband likes and gets permission from her wife? Why is my family the exact opposite?
Anyway, even though Fran wants it, he says no.
I exchanged glances with Dana and nodded. Fucking Dana, his eyes were shining. These drunkard women. I should have kept my eyes wide open.
“Let’s look around. When the work is done before the start of the festival.”
“Really?!”
It’s like a puppy that heard the sound of eating a snack bar. Should I consider myself lucky that I don’t have a tail?
“If you get drunk instead, it’s over. If your tongue gets twisted, I will go home.”
“Ugh. Tea, I’ll bear with it.”
“Aha♡! Unnie too, is it okay to get drunk?”
“Lalilura is right. Fran, drink in moderation too.”
Dana spoke like a doctor talking about the results of a health checkup. Dana, whose liver is said to have twice as many alcohol-digesting enzymes as others, though she was not convincing when she said that.
“… Oh.”
It was a car that I had been walking on until the last plan of the trip. Veronica stopped at the cat mascot she sold at her stall.
No wonder our party stopped along with it. It seemed that even in another world, it was a national rule for people who came to visit to buy souvenirs.
“Let’s go and see!”
“Oh, well. Let’s go.”
Ralilura, who has a bright nature, took the lead and went to the stall. It was a small doll with a painted cat-shaped piece. It was roughly the size of a human seal.
【Welcome! This is the cat statue of Freyja, the specialty of Qudseth! Let’s choose!】
The lady who was looking at her shop rubbed her palms and said. Veronica, who likes cats, was about to let her solicitation go through one ear, but blinked at her words that she was Freyja.
【Freya-sama’s cat?】
【Ah, don’t you know Freya? She is the goddess of Germania mythology who is as beautiful as a young lady! It is said that his carriage is pulled by cats, and a legend has come down to our Qudsess!]
Auntie recounted such a lengthy folk tale while explaining the commercial value of the cat statue.
[A statue that brings good luck and all things work out just by holding it! Who is this cat? Isn’t that the cat that pulled Beauty’s carriage? With that blessing, there’s nothing you can’t get from the safety of your travels to the attention of the opposite sex!]
Veronica listened intently to her aunt’s explanation, then she cleared her throat.
【… Uh hmm Anyway, the interest of the opposite sex that bothers me, I’m interested in the safety of the road. How much?】
【Originally, they charge 8 coopers each, but I patronized them! I’ll give it to 7 coopers to support my lady’s love!]
【Sah, you said it had nothing to do with love! 8 Cooper, right? Wait.】
No fuck, 7 Cooper? I was startled and stopped Veronica from taking out her wallet.
【Wait. Do you think these statues cost 8 coppers each?]
【That’s why you cut 1 copper, right?】
Look at that lady who opens her eyes.
Looking at her as if there was a problem was like a ferocious old woman who picks up herbs or ginkgo biloba and sells them in the fucking rural homestead market.
【Young man, is money a problem to buy these souvenirs? Buying this means buying the memories of visiting the destination.]
When my reaction was devastating, the stallholder lady started reciting bullshit.
“Memory?”
Veronica cocked her head at the statue of her cat.
Perhaps the human culture of leaving memories in visible form was unfamiliar, but is that the problem now? This sister-in-law tried to rip her off, but her eyes were frantic.
【I also make a living by earning a living. Looking at what you’re wearing, you look like you have a lot of money, so should we catch common people like us like rats?]
【No. Why is her aunt selling our memories for a higher price?]
【If you don’t like it, don’t buy it. What am I going to do? I’m not forced to sell. If a man is tired of sleeping, he can save some money in front of his girlfriend, and that’s it.]
【Shut up and take my money!! Headbutting 5 35 Cooper Cash!]
“Fuck you, calm down, you crazy husband.”
Gently stimulated by masochism, I opened my wallet, and Dana tugged at my collar. Fuck it! That lady told me that I was a beggar with no money!!
That’s how Dana stopped me from acting out and came on as a substitute.
【7 Coopers for one is a bit expensive, isn’t it? If it’s half the price of 4 coppers, it looks perfect.]
【This lady suddenly slaps it at half price. Does her husband regret spending money on you?]
“Hey Nord!! Open your wallet!! I’ll pay you back with my fucking body!!”
“No, did we lose our eyes? Why are you getting hit by provocations?”
It’s like a crazy bitch, so don’t say you’ll pay it back with your body. I understand that it is embarrassing to say that you will pay back with love. If you talk like that, it’s not good for others to hear.
I took a temporary retreat while comforting Dana, who had lost her reason. Wow, did the auntie, who looked like a local peddler, ignoring her skill points only for her conversational skills? Our master’s and doctor’s couples have been ignited with the desire to buy side by side.
I’m out because I can’t see shobu in Germanic called Rariru. All she could count on now was francs.
─Two.
As if he noticed my thoughts, Fran clung to the stall.
【Old lady. This cat statue, isn’t it Zenbnir wood?]
【Yes?】
Fran pointed out that she might have sensed something on the statue with her sharp eyes, and she showed a puzzled look for the first time in a woman who ignored our logic.
Did I stab something that shouldn’t be seen? Fran pointed to the sign at her store before her aunt gave her excuse.
[As you wrote on the item list over there, if it’s Zenbnil wood, I understand if you get 5-6 coppers. But the wood these cats are carved from looks like cheap miscellaneous wood, right?]
【Zu, do you have proof? It’s embarrassing to do this without evidence!]
【Shall we call the guards? You do not know that in Germania law, if you lie about product information, you will be in big trouble, right? And, as you can see, I am a dwarf.]
【Stop it…】
It seems that there is something about them that we don’t know about. The lady hit the table.
【Eh. It’s open, it’s open! I’m going to give it to you in 3 coppers, so don’t go anywhere and talk about it!]
【Couldn’t it be 2 Cooper?】
【… Tsk! Take it!!】
The merchant, who caught the country of origin mark like that, rushed the product with a third of the original price.
Is it a true story of tourist prices? It is a miracle that 8 Cooper becomes 3 Cooper. Fucking, the rage virus inside me grows grand. I wouldn’t have been able to stand it if I wasn’t the head of the family.
Selling a piece that cost less than 2 coppers for 10 coppers! It’s not even Noryangjin Fish Market.
“Look at the cat. It looks so fucking insignificant.”
“I guess that’s the charm.”
“It’s fine as long as it’s cute.”
And our hogang trio squatted down to share the bitter cup of defeat. Lalilu, who couldn’t overcome the language barrier, is an incorruptible loser.
Look at the thick expression on the cub’s face. It was so fucking bad that I ate it.
“You look like my mother-in-law?”
No, the ghost of this lab room.
【Oh, guard? The merchant lady over there is cheating with the material of the statue.]
【Yes? You mean product information?】
Meanwhile, Fran finished thoroughly to the finish. The guard called a colleague with appraisal skills to verify, and he dragged her aunt in 3 minutes.
【Ahh!! Look at the townsfolk!! Guards catch people!!]
【Shut up and follow me. I will be detained on the spot for product information fraud.]
【That’s not what I made!! It was delivered!!]
[I know it’s a product made by a sculpting guild. Because your crime is fraudulent merchandise.]
【Is it okay to do this to citizens?! Your salary comes out of my taxes too!!]
【Similar to the food you will eat in prison.】
In a riot, the swindler gave up his business and was taken away. The work in this town is so damn tidy.
“… The human world is complicated.”
Veronica watched the trickster aunt get her justice done as if it were some strange natural phenomenon. Veronica bows to Fran as she strokes the cat statue.
“Thank you, Fran. Do not cherish me.”
“Hehe, what? I don’t like it when I think of being ripped off while traveling whenever I look at souvenirs.”
Fran laughed and touched her hair.
“Next time, let’s stop by the cloth shop. I think I’ll have to buy a new tie for her hair.”
“It is Germania fabric! That must be fun! Let’s go!”
– Jump! When even Lalilura agreed, no one disliked it. At the cloth shop that way, Fran picked out some hair ties for him.
“Franc. Come to work I’ll tie you up.”
“Yes!”
In my words, it was nothing special, but Fran was happy.
I tied Fran’s hair, which was soft and pleasant to the touch, with a string. Even I am enchanted by the subtle touch. Fran laughed, covering her mouth with her hair.
“Nor. How is it? Suited?”
“What do you ask, of course it’s pretty. Our francs are insanely cute.”
I hugged Fran. It was so soft and fluffy that I didn’t want to let go of it.
“But it’s so cute, don’t be like that. I’ll get annoyed if other guys stare at me.”
Hehe.”
Fran was delighted with the poor expression of the pup, perhaps because it was a different world where greasy praise was not developed. I was also fucking stupid.
There’s a reason why couples in the world say cheesy things.
“Senior, senior! How about me♡?”
Then Lari Lura took off her straw hat and took her hair in her pigtails.
Maybe it’s because it suits his bright personality, but it suits him well… Pink haired pigtails
“… Hey Lalilura. Try saying shh-.”
“Shit-!”
“Uh. It fits well. Let’s quit, that.”
“Che-.”
Rari Lura, who saves Rhyme and restores her hairdo. I gasped and caught my breath, but someone awkwardly tugged at my clothes from behind.
When I turned around, I was doing the pigtails challenge.
“… … Wow.”
“… Wow, damn it.”
Dana’s short hair was tied up in two pigtails. The muscles on his face that matched his cool expression were trembling freely, but he seemed to think that his hairstyle was not like him.
I thoughtfully answered, like a gastric ulcer patient who was discharged after six months choosing the menu for his first meal out.
“… Sister. Which do you prefer, an honest evaluation or flattery?”
“… Thank you so much for being considerate, bastard.”
It was Dana who quickly let her hair down. Damn, why are there no cameras in this world? He should have just taken a picture of the girl and left it for generations.
‘Honestly, Dana with double-headed hair can be regarded as a daughter-in-law.’
It is almost obscene and harmful media. It’s a snow country that puts up with blushing while hoping that I’ll look good on it! At the iron fist of his wife who is blinded by love, Juzidra has been breathing fire for the first time in a while.
【This and this, and this too.】
While I was controlling the corpus cavernosum, Veronica was also buying a string. The owner of this shop is conscientious, so I didn’t have to negotiate the price.
“Veronica, will you tie your hair too?”
“Yes. Sometimes, when I do research, I tie it up with a ponytail. In addition, our clan often attaches strings or decorations to the horns.”
Is it a bicorn custom? It is surprising because they are of different races.
It was easy to imagine tying it to the horns anyway, but tying it to the head.
“… Dear Did you think that if I tied my hair up now, it would look like a horse tail?”
“No, I fucking knew it.”
Where did my poker face go? Anyway, the wives felt like everything they were thinking was being found out by Ralilura and Veronica, so it was strange that something was wrong.
As I admired, Veronica half-opened her eyes and crossed her arms.
“Your pupils dim when you think rudely. You know everything just by looking at it.”
“Why are you staring at her face?”
“… … You seem to have bought everything to live for, so let’s go.”
Answer me, bitch.
Veronica runs away, adhering to the right to remain silent even though it is not even Earth. In the end, she couldn’t answer, but she didn’t understand why, so she decided to move on.
Damn, what I was going to do from now on was that important.
‘Swimsuit… There are only swimsuits…’
Bathing in the sea on an Antarctic island with brides of unparalleled beauty!
I can’t stand seeing my wives in swimsuits!
“My husband is going home now. Only women go here.”
“Det?”
With that thought in mind, I followed Fran and Dana to her swimsuit store to watch her provocative fashion show, but Dana drew the line the moment the swimsuit topic came up.
“Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?”
“You can’t take it off. Go back. Until we get to the island, I’m sucking my fingers and looking forward to it.”
“They say it won’t work!! I don’t care if my sister’s body is small!!”
“This bitch keeps crossing the line from a while ago, really?!”
He got hit by an angry Dana while trying to get out, but the man had a romance that he couldn’t give up even if he got hit in the back by his wife. Dana clicked her tongue as I rolled her eyes in protest.
“Ah, okay. If you’re going to walk in vain, follow me and see.”
What’s wrong with going to see our wives’ swimsuits! I firmly agreed with Dana’s words and followed her to the store.
【Sorry. Men are prohibited from entering our store.]
Then, the entrance was cut.
Men are forbidden! God damn it, in Britannia, a forager with a Kaiser mustache can enter the guild store that sells women’s underwear!
【Why? Why? Why? Why? No entry why?】
【Even if you say so because it is stipulated by law…】
This country is a country of fucking barbarians. No response.
