Kajiya de Hajimeru Isekai Slow Life

The next day. Me and Samia headed to town. I’m troubled if I should bring the spear for self-defense but I haven’t tried it yet so I left it. I have to test it tomorrow….

We arrived at the town without any incident. The guard at the entrance is still Marius-shi. In his hand, he holds a spear which is a supply item while the long sword, “a personal property that he brought by mistake” is on his waist.

“Oh, you’re a little early this time.”

“Yes, I have stocks now.”

“I see. Is the product lineup unchanged?”

“That’s right. Today’s products are the same as before.”

“I see. There are long swords right? I’ll inform the others.”

“There is. Thank you very much.”

“Ah-, also…”

“What is it?”

“No, nothing. You’ll know it once you go to the flea market.”

“…..? I understand. Well then, bye.”

“Yeah”

Marius-shi’s evasive manner of speaking caught my attention but today’s goal is to sell things then buy salt and the likes. We headed for the flea market. Today as well, I’m the one who carried the goods so I headed straight to get a stall area by myself. In the meantime, I asked Samia to do the shopping.

I paid as I normally did then pick up the stand and look for an empty space. It seems that the middle-aged receptionist remembers me a little, he’s unusually very friendly today.

Since the same place from before was taken, I put my sales stand at a slightly off place and start preparations for opening the stall. I can’t find the textile dealer today. We came early this time so maybe the day we came to sell didn’t match, or maybe he didn’t come for a while… I feel a bit lonely since I don’t have acquaintance here.

Today’s products are the same as the last time so I briskly prepared it and I’m now ready to sell. Of course, in this flea market there is no opening time, so the actual opening is right after the preparations were completed.Translated by Yume Neiji

And then I waited until noon, the peddler who bought the long swords last time came.

“Oh, how is it doing?”

He asked freely, so I answered back as well.

“Well, today’s no good.”

“Even one?”

“Uh, not even one.”

“Well then, I’ll buy all of the long swords.”

“Eh? Is it okay?”

“Yes. The one I brought before was well received by the one I resold it too. He also asked me if I still have some more stock.”

“Oh-, if only I knew, I would have brought the ten long swords I made all night.”

“You are already afflicted of the craftsman’s habit huh.”

“I’ve been hitting iron throughout the week, and sometimes I want to worship silver you know.”This is translated by Yume Neiji (yumeineijiworks.wordpress.com

“I see. I know that feeling.”

Then we laugh together. The peddler guy really bought all four long swords. Today’s purpose is almost complete.

Today I brought the “luxury model” too, but I can’t find a customer to sell it to. However, if I do it like that, it won’t be sold forever. I need to find a way or another to sell it, the next time the peddler guy comes, I think I can leave it to him.

While I’m thinking about that, Samia came back from shopping. What she bought today was salt to make salted venison and some street food for lunch. For the food that she bought from a food stall, it is a toasted bread with sliced pan fried wild boar and sweet and spicy sauce added on top. This dish is as appetizing as I described.

It’s not like pizza or hamburger but it’s so delicious that it became my regular meal when I come here. There are a lot of complicated rules inside the wall, it seems that one needs to buy each separately, but since this is the flea market outside the wall, there is no such rule applied so it’s possible to have this dish.

After my belly was full, I sold some knives to “Ichigen-san”, then “that” came.

At first glance she looks like a child but, she’s a woman with a firm build and is looking around restlessly for something. Upon seeing her, Samia mumbled something and she whispers to me,

“That’s a dwarf. It’s unusual.”

“Are they few in number?”

“I don’t see much around here. I once guided a guy who came to the forest up to the highway but that’s the only time I saw one.”

“Is that so?”

I’m able to see a rare individual huh.

This is a little nice. In addition she’s a dwarf. It is a familiar race. There are dwarves huh….. Elves are likely to be in similar condition. Let’s ask if Samia haven’t seen one this time.

The dwarf woman hurriedly headed for the knife left on the stand. Looking at her face, her nose is slightly round? Other than that, she is almost similar to human beings. However, her arms and legs are firm. It’s only lesser than those bodybuilder in the previous world, looking at her I got an impression that she’s training in the gym.

“Uh-, Uhm!”

“Yes. What is it?”

I’m a little surprised as the woman started talking enthusiastically.

“Are you the one who made the knife of the guards!?”

“Yes, I’m the one but…”

Samia changed her position a little. I don’t think something will happen, but I’m a little happy that she’s doing her job as an escort well. The woman notices this but with a “whew”, she continued.This is translated by Yume Neiji (yumeineijiworks.wordpress.com

“Is this knife the same as that of the guards?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Can I look at it?”

“Yes, feel free.”

The woman pulls out the knife from the sheath and observes the construction of the blade and handle. And after observing for a while, she said,

“Can you show me the best product here?”

“Eh? Well, it’s alright but…”

My best product huh…. I think that the knife she’s looking at is as good as the blacksmiths here, but looking at the knife and saying, “Show me more”, seems like she’s not that confident about it. I am thinking of selling it someday so I don’t mind showing it.

I took the “luxury model” long sword off my waist and gave it to the woman. The women receive it carefully and gently pull it out of the sheath. Although I only used moderate amount of power, the blade came out pretty good. On the contrary, when it comes to this area, even a very skilled blacksmith will not be able to do it. If I sell it, even if it’s 10 times more than the “general model” she can’t protest.

The woman kept observing the long sword much more carefully than when she observed the knife. She was observing it for so long that I sold a knife to another man who was interested in what she was doing. I even have enough time to say “thank you for your continuous patronage” to the guy. During that time, the woman continuously looks at the sword.This is translated by Yume Neiji (yumeineijiworks.wordpress.com

And when I thought that it’s about time to get it back,

“Thank you very much. I’m now returning it.”

She returned the sheathed long sword.

“Thank you…”

Then, the moment I received it, the woman moved. Samia immediately respond to it, pulling my body backwards and positioning herself in front of me.

However, the posture that the woman took was not to attack me, she bent her legs, her hands on the ground, and her head lowered – it’s a dogeza!

In this world, there is also dogeza!? Shockingly, in the midst of the flea market, the woman shouts in that position.

“Please make me your disciple!”

For a while, I could only look blankly.
