Isekai Maou to Shoukan Shoujo no Dorei Majutsu Volume 4 Chapter 3 part2

Part 2
As they left the sand ship behind──
The main street, is that how it should be expressed as? There were tents that were round like pancakes lined up on the left and right, and the sand road continued on inside the town.
Bustling about, children approached them.
「Your luggage, I’ll carry it! Your luggage, I’ll carry it! Your luggage, I’ll carry it!」
──This kind of thing didn’t happen in the game.
Rem stopped Shera who was going to ask them to.
「Don’t. They’ll either carry your luggage away, or, even if they’re good and don’t, demand payment for carrying your luggage, you know?」
「Is, is that so……」
「Since we don’t have any heavy luggage that we need to entrust to someone, let’s just carry it ourselves.」
「’Kay!」
Lumachina made a sad-looking face.
「…………」
She was probably feeling sorry for the poor-looking children.
Rem called out to her.
「……They are purposely wearing tattered clothes, you know? If you look at their complexion, you’ll understand that they are eating properly. It’s the children’s petty way of earning some extra money.」
「Is that so!?」
「……It isn’t limited to the former Demon King territory. It’s like this in any town.」
With a surprised look, Lumachina looked around.
Diablo was surrounded at a distance by those greedy children. Whether it be the horns that could be seen growing from his head, or his appearance that was dress in complete black, it seemed that he had an atmosphere that made it hard to approach him.
Diablo’s group walked heading towards the tower.
The sand ground didn’t change, but the buildings increased.
He didn’t pay any atttention to it in the game but──even though it was sandy soil where one’s feet would sink if one wasn’t careful, for them to make stone built buildings, he was a bit surprised. Some kind of devising was probably done.
「Ah, there’s a flower.」
Lumachina pointed.
Amazing, there was a flower bed in front on a building in this barren land.
Rem smiled.
「……It looks like it’s quite easy to obtain water in this area.」
「There is the smell of water after all.」
Shera pointed ahead.
At the end of the road, the lake was there. Small waves sparkled.
Zircon Tower City was in MMORPG Cross Reverie as well, and had the same structure. However, rather than a lake, it was more of a moat that surrounded the tower.
──Well, in the game, it was a small base that only had the needed buildings to play after all.
In the Zircon Tower City of this world, there were children, as well as their parents. There were also restaurants and clothing stores.
「What the heck is that!? It’s quite different from what I was told, isn’t it!?」
A high-pitched voice was heard.
Was it a child?
Looking at where it came from, there were four men that looked like Adventurers and a rabbit-eared young Grasswalker boy having a dispute.
No, going by his appearance, was the young boy also an Adventurer? He wore lightweight leather armor, and carried a short sword.
The Grasswalkers were a race that didn’t change from their child-like appearance no matter how old they got. He most likely wasn’t a child.
A Pantherian man pushed the shoulder of the Grasswalker that they were drawing near.
「It’s only natural for the useless one to get less of the reward!」
「Oi oi oi～!? I was useful, wasn’t I!? I guided you there, didn’t I!? I did the lock-picking, didn’t I!? There was even treasure, wasn’t there!?」
「A huge amount of strong monsters rushed out, and we were almost wiped out!」
「Eh～!?」
──A monster house huh. That’s a standard trap.
Diablo also set those up in his own personal space.
There existed a large amount of dungeons in the former Demon King territory. They were probably an Adventurer party that was capturing one of them.
In the MMORPG Cross Reverie, the division of acquired items and experience points was performed automatically. Things like having it stolen by force didn’t happen.
Even so, sometimes there were people that proposed things like 『parasite Players that didn’t play an active role should hand over their rewards』 though……
Since Diablo did nothing but play solo, he was unrelated to that sort of trouble. He was glad there was any such pains for him.
──As I thought, if you’re going to do an MMORPG, playing solo is the way to go!
The Pantherian man displayed his long sword.
「Well, this is quite a sharp sword. My great self will use it effectively.」
The blade was clad in flames.
The surrounding guys cheered on.
「Uhyoー, tha’s incredible!」「Nice goin’, Aniki!」「Let’s go and test it out!」
──Is that a 《Red Sword》?
It was a weapon that he recognized.
Rank R trash……That way of thinking was his sense in the game. In this world, even that seemed to be a fairly precious weapon.
In the game, in order to obtain rare raw materials, Players would do rash things without taking their lives into consideration. The death penalty wasn’t light, but it wasn’t like the account was deleted.
However, in this world, it’s the end once they die.
Those that collected rare raw materials were limited, so accordingly, nothing but weapons with low quality were circulated.
Suddenly, Diablo had a thought.
──Come to think of it, I also created a monster house in my dungeon and placed a 《Red Sword》 there. That’s a coincidence……right?
The young Grasswalker boy refused to back down.
「That sword has a value of around 10,000,000 F, doesn’t it!? Why the heck did I only get one silver coin!?」
One silver coin was 4,000 F.
For someone that dove into the dungeon together with them, that’s just wrong.
The Pantherian man bared his fangs.
「If we weren’t there, you would have been monster food around this time, wouldn’t you!?」
「If I weren’t there, you wouldn’t have reached the treasure, right!?」
「Hou……You looking for a fight? I’m fine with testing this thing on you first, you know?」
He thrust the sword before him.
Since the flames were just an effect, it didn’t give off any heat, but the young Grasswalker boy panicked and drew back.
「Uuu……」
「That’s a suitable amount for a Grasswalker that only sneakily hides the whole time.」
「……Even though you said I would get an equal split.」
「Aan!?」
The young boy became timid from the threatening voice that sounded like he would cut him up soon.
He unwillingly nodded.
「N, no……This is fine.」
「You should have said that from the beginning. If you’re fine with that amount, we’ll use you again. See ya! Gehahaha!」
While raising laughter, the four Adventurers disappeared into a bar. It was still midday, but most bars would operate while it was bright out, and serve lunch.
After the figures of the other party disappeared, the young Grasswalker boy raised the silver coin overhead.
「Don’t screw with me! Those cheating bastards! Go get torn to shreds!」
Throwing the silver coin onto the ground──He only made the motion for that, and crammed it into his pocket.
Having also seen the whole story like Diablo, Rem shrugged her shoulders.
「……Similar things happen everywhere.」
「Does that sort of thing happen in Faltra City as well?」
「……I also, have had my reward unjustly reduced for the reason that I was a woman.」
「How idiotic.」
「……Yes. I didn’t hesitate to Summoned Beasts against those sorts of people though.」
「Umu.」
Shera and Lumachina were in front of the flower bed and were excitedly talking about methods of raising flowers.
It seemed that the conversation the Adventurers were having didn’t enter their ears.
