Chapter 243

Free Time

There seemed to be no problems with the details of the contract in general, but as you’d expect, a quick decision on something on the national scope couldn’t be made right away, so it was left for later . Although it was left for later, the contract was mostly set in stone, so my role was almost finished .

Well, I still have the job as a guard, but since there are people proficient in it, there’s no place for me to step in .

“How about doing some shopping around the town~”

“”Will go shopping~!””

I was told that it would be okay to spend the time outside of my shift as we like as long as we didn’t ruffle any feathers, so I thought of doing some shopping in the town .

“Takumi, are you going outside?”

“Yes, this is our first time in Creta, so I thought we’d take a stroll around . The weather is good too . ”

“Would you mind if I tagged along?”

“Are you on a break, Kevin-san? We, of course, wouldn’t mind, but we had not decided on the destination, so we are expecting to wander around . ”

Although I say that we will be wandering around, I feel that I will be biased towards shops with Creta’s specialty products… is Kevin-san fine with that?

“I have nothing else to do anyway . Oh, I can take you to a shop that sells dungeon ingredients if you want? It’s a shop that deals with things found in the nearby dungeon . ”

“Please take me there!”

“Kuku, sure thing . ”

Kevin-san laughed at me when I replied to him .

But, when you present me with a shop that I would like to visit right away, I have no choice but to ask you to take me there!

“Shall we go then?”

“”Let’s go~ let’s go~””

We used the exit for the castle’s personnel and walked into a lively street .

“”Which way~?””

“N? The shopping street is east of here, so… to the left . ”

“”Left~!””

“Allen, Elena, let’s go a bit slower . ”

“”Okay~””

The children grabbed my hands, saying “Quickly, quickly” and pulling me around while looking around with excitement .

“How many times have you been to this town before, Kevin-san?”

“Twice . Though I say that, it was on the official business the last time . So don’t expect too much from me, as I don’t know much about the town . ”

“Nono, I’m already very grateful that you know the way to the shop I wanted to see . ”

There’s nothing wrong with wandering around places you don’t know because it’s fun .

“But, why do you know the location of the dungeon goods shop so precisely?”

“My colleague said he bought something from there, so I searched for it the next day . ”

“Heeh~ is that so?”

“Oh, we are here . ”

We arrived at the shop while talking .

“”Ohh~””

“This is quite…”

Various things were displayed in the shop . From food to unidentified items .

“Sorry about this . It’s all jumbled together, right?”

A man past his middle-age approached us as soon as we entered . He must the shopkeeper .

“The goods seem to be sorted into different types to some extent, but… it does feel that way a little . ”

“I thought so~ I thought of sorting things out, but there are many things that come from the dungeon with unknown use~”

“Oh, I see . So it’s like that . ”

Now that he says it, there are certainly things you wouldn’t know what they are for at a glimpse .

In my case, I can always use Appraisal when I see something I am not sure about, but that’s not how things normally go~

Oh, aren’t these vanilla beans!

“I fundamentally buy ingredients and herbs, but these things I purchased from some young adventurers . ”

“Did you get caught up in their crying act? You will lose your shop if you keep responding, you know?”

“I am properly aware of that . ”

Kevin-san advised the shopkeeper with an understanding look .

“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 .
