Chapter 276: Ass digging and picture books
"Huwa~. I'm sleepy because it's still early in the morning~"
Nina yawns as she walks down the passage in the mountain castle of the Nameless Kingdom.
"If you're sleepy, you don't have to come over"
"Mou~, immediately nasty saying like that~"
Nina inflates her cheeks like a child. It's already been a few days since Yuu settled with the 『Dragon Fang』clan.
"Mari-chan, what do you think?"
"As master says, if you're sleepy, you shouldn't overdo it"
"Mou! Mari-chan. Did you know? Yuu fought with the clan without telling us~"
"Namari, is that right?"
"I don't know"
From Marifa's questioning gaze, Namari moves behind Nina as if to run away and she fusses, 「Nina-neechan, I'm not there」and 「I'm sorry」.
"Momo is still sleeping, so be quiet"
Yuu points to the hat he wears and pays attention to Nina and others.
"Yes. But if you're the usual Yuu, why would you go to the magic gate?"
"You know there are merchants coming to the harbor today, don't you?"
"Yes"
"If I don't get on Shiro, some of those damn kids will come to the port without telling me. What's wrong?"
"Eh!? It's nothing"
Yuu and his friends stare at Namari, whose behavior is suspicious.
"What do you mean?"
Yuu, who moved from the mountain castle to the forest, muttered in spite of the sight in front of him.
"What is sea?"
"Wow, this is so big!"
"Hey Reteru, are you going today?"
"Yes. Shiro put it on you"
"Ao is a big dragon"
"We are eaten?"
"Ao is a good boy so he won't eat you"
Inpika and friends were emphasizing the ocean to the still toddlers. The essential white is in a good mood surrounded by children.
"Namari!"
"Uwaah, I'm sorry"
Namari runs away for fear of Yuu's anger. And the children notice Yuu by the voice.
"Ah! King~"
"King, hello. I'm going to the sea"
"Nina-neechan. I see the sea for the first time"
"Uwaah"
"All right, it'll be there soon"
Yuu is also angry at the appearance of the children who are groaning and making noise.
"Don't cry!"
Some of the children were unknowingly brought here by their siblings and were anxious and crying. Nina was comforting such guzy children.
"You're good at comforting"
The children who were crying a while ago smiled as soon as Nina eased. Now the children who stopped crying happily clung to Nina's hands and feet. Yuu is impressed with that appearance.
"Huuhuuhu~. Even if it looks like this, I'm good at comforting children~"
"People don't look like it"
"Ah, wait and say that again"
"Master, what to do?"
Marifa, holding a child, asks Yuu for instructions.
"If I don't take anything, these guys will be noisy"
"Thanks Odono-sama!"
"You should reflect"
For some reason, Yuu pokes Namari who looks great. The children laugh at the appearance.
"Shu ... Shugoi! This is the sea!?"
"Hecha, how far is that going?"
"Waa! That's~woonterful"
Children who are short of tongues are excited about the sea seen for the first time. The hard part is the adults who manage the harbor. They hadn't heard that so many children would come, so they're busy chasing children who are trying to get into the sea and running around.
"King, what is this?"
"Don't ask me. Be careful not to let the kids enter the sea without permission"
"That of course"
It is rare for sea monsters to appear in this area because of the sea dragon Ao, but it is still not perfect. In children who cant resist, there is no accumulation if they are attacked by monsters. And now Ao is away to pick up the merchants.
"Isn't it smooth here?"
"This place is called sandy beach"
On the sandy beach, children who have no idea about the worries and hardships of Yuu and the adults are playing in the sand and climbing on Shiro.
"Inpika, digging?"
"Dont do"
"Why?"
"I don't like that"
"It's fun. It's strange"
Beastman children who were digging a hole invite Inpika, but Inpika refuses them disgustingly. Perhaps the appearance of such Inpika is rare, the children chased Inpika who is mysteriously leaving with their eyes.
"King, Narmo and his friends are back"
"I know. Are you ready?"
"Leave it to me"
You can see the ship on the horizon in the distance. Gradually the ship makes its appearance clear. Then, as Ao pulls the boat, the children begin to make noise without hiding their excitement.
"Hey! Here it is!"
"Ao, welcome back!"
"Is that Ao?"
"That's right! It's big and cool, isn't it?"
"Big!"
Did Ao see Yuu and the children? The speed of Ao pulling the ship increases.
"Gee!? Ao, calm down! Don't forget about the ship"
Narmo, a tiger man, calls out to Ao to calm down, but Ao doesn't seem to hear it.
"Ah, I thought the ship would fall apart"
Narmo, who safely anchored the ship, gently stroked his chest, looking sideways at Ao, who was playing with Yuu and the children. Despite such danger, the merchants on board the ship land on the island.
"Mururu-chan, which one do you want?"
"I like this and this"
Picture books and toys that children may like are lined up on the carpets spread by the merchants. In front of them, the children are wondering which one to buy, with their eyes shining.
"What is it?"
"Hooho. Oya, did you not know Yuu-sama? Sometimes, in this way, we bring in and sell products that children seem to like"
Mago, who has a gentle look at the children, explains to Yuu. Yuu knew that the children of Nameless kingdom were getting pocket money to help their parents, but they didn't know that they were buying things from the merchants with that money. The interaction between the merchants and the children is familiar with how they have negotiated so far.
『Magic girl Rerel-chan』 and 『Magic girl Salil』? I don't have enough money to buy those two books"
Counting the money that Reteru and Mururu gave, the male merchant apologizes.
"It's not sufficient"
"Not sufficient"
"You can buy either one. What should we do?"
"I'll give you some money. Uncle, then I can buy it, right?
Reteru's older brother, Hende, says so and gives a few silver coins to the male merchant.
"Oh, but is that okay? Then you had to give up on either picture book you wanted, 『Gold Knight promoted pawn and goblin』or 『Silver Mage and Silver Goblin』?"
"It's okay"
"But it must have been a picture book I've always wanted"
To the male merchant who asks if it's really good, Hende says it's okay and sighs. It is money which has been saved hard for this day by helping adults.
"If you buy them all together, that amount is fine"
Then an old man――Bolivar gets interjected. A merchant who once directly appealed to Yuu for the finances of the Nameless Kingdom.
"Bolivar-sama, are you sure?"
Due to the importance of dealing with the Nameless Kingdom, Bolivar was famous for not offering any discounts, while many merchants offered some discounts.
"I'm saying it's fine"
"C, Certainly!"
In a hurry, the male merchant hands the picture books to Hende and the other children.
"Thank you, Grandpa!"
"Thank you"
"Thank you"
When Hende and his friends thank Bolivar, Hende and Mururu run away happily.
"I don't think you had such a gentle side"
"Oh, this is Satou-sama. You didn't know that, did you? I'm kind to the kids, even if I look like this"
"Hmm, I didn't know that. Hende"
"Y, Yes"
Hende, whose name was called by Yuu, rushes in front of Yuu.
"If you like the book so much, you can hear it directly from the person himself in the old man's place"
"Eh, from the person himself......? That's......at old man Woods´s place!?"
"Ah, but it's impossible because they can't speak......"
Hende, who never thought that the main characters of the picture book were in the immediate vicinity, thanked Yuu many times and disappeared into the circle of children holding the picture books.
"Grandma, look at this"
"Look"
Reteru and Mururu were proud of the picture books they had just bought to an old cat woman.
"Well, both of you are rich to buy picture books"
"Well, you gave me a bonus"
"Me too"
"Did you say thank you properly?"
"I said"
"I said it too"
When the kids point to Bolivar, the old catwoman bows lightly toward Bolivar.
"What are you doing with your face red?"
"Sa, Satou-sama, what do you mean?"
"No, your face is......"
"No, what are you talking about? I don't know"
"Merchants are gathering around grandmother Flavis"
"What! They are so shallow. Isn't Flavis-san in trouble! Satou-sama, I want to say hello to everyone, so I'm sorry for this"
As soon as he says that, Bolivar runs to the merchants who surround Flavis.
"Flavis-san, did you think of becoming my third wife?"
One of the old men surrounding Flavis approaches while holding Flavis's hand. This old man is a big merchant with stores in many countries. Even though the great merchant wants her as his third wife, he will be fascinated by the fact that he will welcome a beastman as a wife rather than a concubine.
"Well, thank you for your overestimation"
The old man's cheeks loosen loosely on Flavis, who gracefully holds his hand back.
"Eeii! Flavis-san may be in trouble. Let go of that hand!!"
"Huhuu. It's no good? The lord should make such a loud voice"
"N, No......that, I, nuhuhuu"
When Flavis closed the lips of the old man who raised his voice with her finger, the old people around her leaked a pitiful voice, 「Ah......」.
"Flavis-san, you seem to be in trouble"
"Good morning, Bolivar-sama"
Bolivar sighs with a sigh of heat at the graceful greeting that cannot be thought of as a beastman. In this way, Flavis was extremely popular with the old people of the human race. The old men are crushing their bones not only because of her wording and etiquette, but also because of the gestures and care.
"I also want to be like grandmother. That's why I'm gonna become brave!"
Inpika looks up with her eyes while clinging to Flavis's legs.
"Inpika, don't have that idea. Always try to be a gentleman and make an effort to hone yourself and the lord will not leave you alone"
"Eh, that's kind of troublesome"
"Grandma Flavis, popular"
The old men did not miss the muttering of one of the children.
"There young lady, who is popular? N? Nn?"
"Well, to Sensei"
"Who is your Sensei? Learn more about that!"
"Sensei is Sensei. He's an old man. He's really kind"
"He likes Grandma Flavis, right? But you can't go crazy"
"Hi, he is an old man of the human race!?"
"What do you mean! Yeah!! Where is the king!? I have to ask the Nameless king in detail!!"
"Flavis-san, is the story true now?"
Even in front of the noisy old men, Flavis remains smiling without being upset.
"You guys are noisy"
"Oou. Satou-sama, there seems to be a human that follows Flavis-san!"
"You are the ones who are sticking to her"
"Good morning, King"
Flavis greets Yuu. Even Marifa groans at greetings that are faithful to the basics, have no gaps, and do not give any unpleasant impression to the other party.
"Grandmother Flavis, you're old, so you don't have to do any work"
"Satou-sama, how do you speak to Flavis-san!"
"That's right!! If Flavis-san is gone, I won't come to Nameless anymore!!"
"Well, everyone, don't be so angry"
The old men, who were making noise even when they were glared at by Marifa, shut up with a word of Flavis.
"The kindness that I and Flavia received from the King is immeasurable. I'm a short old man, but I can't rest until I give that favor back"
"Ah, I understand. I understand, so be sure to discipline the old men"
"Each of us is a famous merchant. There is no disappointment if I or others are disciplined."
For some reason, the old men nodded as if they had won.
"Don't they bother the King?"
"I wonder how it was"
On the surface, Marifa had a face that did not eat anything, but in her heart she had no choice but to tell Flavis how much Flavia was bothering Yuu.
"King, this"
"Look"
Reteru and Mururu show Yuu a picture book of loot.
"That's good"
"Yeah! But I hope I can show it to Nina-neechan"
"I was wondering if it was possible"
"Ehon, I wonder if it's a surprise?"
"It's interesting"
"I wonder why"
Yuu muttered while looking at the books of 『Magic Girl Rerel』 and 『Magic Girl Salil』held by the children.
