"Ha ha. So Mr. Dorothea is working hard to become a merchant that your father would recognize, huh?

The fire is burning in the open with the patsy.

Looking up, the stars of the heavens sparkled, but the only people present around them were Dorothea and Lina, who was employed as his escort.

A day went by standing malt.

In the meantime, Dorothea had various stories with Lina, and now she was able to talk fairly comfortably.

There is always something like a kind of tension between a merchant and an escort adventurer, but there is no such thing as Lina's fluffy atmosphere playing a role or straining that far between the two of them.

Of course, I also understand that Dorothea and Lina are rather conspicuous adventurers, contrary to their pompous appearance, so I don't completely forgive my heart and entrust everything, but it was definitely a pretty good relationship nonetheless.

"Of course that's not all... but I wonder if that's the goal so far. My father cuts up big shops there in the city of Mistella, but one day I want to have more than I can beat..."

Mistella is a regional city that is farther than Malt and western than the Wang capital.

It just flourishes a lot bigger than Malt, and there is a lot more competition because of the presence of a number of chambers of commerce.

The movement of people and objects with western countries is also frequent, with large populations for many cultural objects to come together.

It's not hard to imagine how much effort you've made to have a store out of naked consistency in a city like that.

My father was only one child, not originally a merchant or anything, but courteously sent out of a small village.

Though I could do a reading and writing calculation, how hard would it have been to get up and down from there......

"I'm sure you can! Any dream will surely come true if you continue to work hard!

Lina utterly clichéd dialogue to Dorothea.

Usually, it was Dorothea's mouth that seemed to say, "What do you know," or "It's not that simple," but because Lina says it too honestly and innocently, it blows up.

"Pfft. Right...... now, that's what I'm trying to believe. But I don't know when. Sometimes they say it's impossible... but there's no such thing as absolutely impossible."

"That's right. I don't know when or what human life will be. Maybe a dragon suddenly shows up on this spot right now and leaves me with a few scales. Then you'll have plenty of money!

"I don't think that's going to happen... but you certainly can't say enough. When you get lucky like that, your dreams are going to get close at once..."

"Well, you could get attacked on the spot,"

"That seems more likely. I knew I'd do my best."

"I thought that would be good. Ah. Speaking of which, I was just talking..."

A slight change of story led Lina to ask Dorothea about the numerous troubles Dorothea had been in so far.

Beginning with trouble with the escorts in the meantime, I can't help but enumerate more retrospectively.

I told Lina that I was free while I was on fire watch.

Though it's only been two years since I've been on my own, counting it is something that's had a lot going on, I thought as I talked.

Well, I guess that and this is because I'm immature as a merchant or a susceptible woman......

But to this, Lina leaned her neck,

"... Isn't there kind of too much going on? I don't care how often you run out as a businessman, or because you're a woman..."

"Really? Though I don't think it's like this. Even Lina is an adventurer to women, so didn't the first one have quite a lot of things?

"Sure, there was a little... but it wasn't as good as Mr. Dorothea's. Besides, in my case, the big problem was that I didn't make money...... It's not like that right now, but I think I might even have trouble paying for the lodging and meals that day..."

"That's surprising. You know, you can see quite a lot of herbs and materials. That's the only thing that's gonna work out."

Around the malt is the countryside.

As soon as you leave the city, you will be surrounded by woods and mountains.

But that's why there are so many things not seen in the city.

Sometimes understandable plants are useful to humans, moving along the carriage but suddenly on the side of the road, rather expensive herbs can grow if sold in the city.

And Lina had found something like that.

You're looking at it from a running carriage, so the view and other things should flow quickly, but Lina's eyes are terribly good, like, "Oh, there's grass growing in front of the circle," or "there's so much honey vegetables. Beautiful," he said.

Lina didn't say anything about stopping the carriage to pick it up, etc., but Dorothea wanted to pick it up more.

I have itineraries, and I couldn't say that too often, but I know that if I go to the city, I will always sell them later if I get them here regarding what I don't get first.

I also checked with Lina, and when I found something like that, I proceeded while collecting it.

Even so, most of the time Lina picked it up, and Dorothea waited, but it felt like it.

I said I'd go myself, but I said it's faster this way.

It really hurt my conscience whether this was a good price as initially contracted, so I decided to give Lina some money if I could sell those herbs later.

Lina said she doesn't mind anything, but this kind of thing is merchant possession.

There was no way they would help me buy it and not give me anything.

Anyway, Lina will also have to ask, and she wants to maintain a good relationship for that time.

Well, that's why I'm a pretty eye-catcher, Lina, so I was wondering if I could just live with herb collection.

To this, Lina,

"Because this kind of skill has been acquired recently for a price. There was someone who told me all sorts of things I couldn't do. Because of him, I'm a proper adventurer now."

I see, Master.

"Exactly. I just feel like I'm finally getting caught up in it, too, because I'm a bit prone to getting caught up in trouble... whoa, maybe that's how Dorothea's in shape, too"

As I said, Lina looked toward the woods.

Something showed up there.

That's what I wanted to say, which Dorothea immediately understood as well.

- Hin.

Something flies along with the sound of

When did it move, Lina, who was between the woods and Dorothea, slapped it down with her sword.

Plus, when I threw a dagger in the woods that was falling back on my hips, I heard a scream, Yikes.

"Hey, what are you...?

"Maybe you're like a bandit. The bowman seems to be the only one right now, and since there doesn't seem to be a lot of them, I decide to just knock him out. Mr. Dorothea should stay in the carriage. For once, there's nothing around right now, but I'll call you as soon as you scream if anything happens... so I'll be there."

That's what I said, Lina disappeared into the woods.
