The Other World Con Artist's Management Techniques

The city of All Bloom, which passed through a huge gate, was ridiculously big.

There was a square in front of the gate, from which a broad road, like twelve lanes each way, stretched straight into the back of the city.

In the square there was a kind of guide board with a picture of the whole city, but I couldn't believe my eyes for a moment.

If the information board were accurate, this town would be about the size of Tokyo's 23 wards.

It's like surrounding Tokyo's 23 wards with thick walls as high as 30 meters. It's impossible, isn't it? How much effort, money, and time did you spend? Or can you do it with magic?

I thought that cities with exterior walls were limited to cities with populations of about 10,000 people...

The city of All Bloom is divided into 42 wards, with what is called the "Central wards" in the heart of the city. From there, it seems that the numbers are radically numbered as two or three wards, two wards. By the way, it seems that I am in the thirtieth district now. The thirty to forty-two wards are located along the outer wall, and there are several gates leading to the outside.

It seems that the Thirty Wards are governed by a nobleman called Wishart.

And it seems that this vast road will lead to Chuo Ward. The road here is this big for carrying luggage to each ward.

The streets are clean and tidy, with brick and stone houses standing out. There are wooden buildings inside, but they are not shabby at all, but rather designed to reflect the beauty of the wood grain in the city.

It's a beautiful city that harmonizes lively, relaxed and playful spirit with the word modern.

I don't know if the 30 wards are special or the other wards are at this level, but the cultural level seems relatively high. I was licking it because of the poor taste of the rice and poor clothes, but if I could get used to it, I would be able to live comfortably.

Then I must cash in on the spices and secure a bed.

It would be risky to sell off spices that were supposed to be sold to the lord of the Thirty Ward. All right, let's go to the next 29 wards. I'm afraid you'll be forced to walk quite a bit, but if you think it's for five million yen, you'll be able to walk lightly.

I skipped for the 29th leg.

queer

This town is obviously strange.

The city is so strange that it seems like a beast walking on two legs in the city, stir-fried weed for herbivores, and snails in the face even though she was a beautiful woman in the background. ... No, the snail said "Geez!" without thinking.

More than that!I can't tell lies in this city!

Seriously, I can't throw up.

At first I tried to get some spices bought at a grocery store in the twenty-ninth district.

He was told he would need a guild membership card or ward ID card to buy and sell in the city. If not, take it to the guild for purchase. It seems that anyone other than adventurers and merchants who wants to make a sudden sale will bring it to the guild.

But it was a spice with which he caused so much trouble in front of the gate. As soon as I bring it into the guild, it is obvious that it will be of service to me.

So I negotiated with him to buy it... It's strange, anyway.

The grocer first asked me, "Where did you get the spice?"

There is also the "Judgment of the Spirit" that Norbert was referring to. Judging that it would be better not to tell a lie, I chose ambiguous expressions to answer.

"I got it from a good‐natured merchant."

The word 'itakiru' also means stealing. It's not a lie at all.

I thought this would work out, but as soon as the owner of the shop looked like a demon, he scolded me.

"I'm not going to deal with the thief! Get out now or I'll send him out to the vigilante!"

I ran out of the shop at such a sword‐screen.

The owner of the shop kept hurling abuse at me from behind, "d*mn it, thief!" and it seems that I was a little talked about in the twenty-ninth leg.

I gave up dealing in the twenty-ninth district and went to another district.

I was thinking of moving on from 28 to 27, but it seems that this city is being readjusted in a circle around Chuo Ward.

The twenty-eight wards are next to the twenty-ninth ward, and the twenty-seven wards are far from each other. It's so neatly organized that you need to cross the ward to get to the next door.

Then you can move to a different section faster if you go inside the circle.

the outermost wards are 30 to 42 wards The second is from 23 wards to 29 wards, followed by the 22 wards from 11 wards to 22 wards, the 6 wards to 10 wards, and the 2 wards to 5 wards, and the central wards are located in the center of the wards.

From the twenty-ninth leg, the inner twenty-two wards are nearer than the neighboring twenty-eight wards.

That's why I set foot in the 22nd leg.

Let's make a fresh start and make a big buck.k.a. lot of money. Huff...But the same thing happened there.

Even though he spoke ill, he was chased around by the shopkeeper who raised his hand and said, "You thief! I'll cut off your clumsy arm!"

Miscreation doesn't work.

But if you tell a lie clearly, you'll be in trouble. . . . .

"Oh my gosh..."

Can't you really tell a lie in this city?

It's probably because of the Forced Translation Magic.

Even if you mistrust your words, they will be translated into words familiar to you.

The Japanese word "me," "me," "me," "me," and "my fellow" are all like "I" in English.

"Give me" is probably translated as "deceived" or "stolen."

It's a troublesome city.

In the end, despite having spices worth five million yen, I'm left penniless.

I've tried to convince them that the Japanese yen is a legitimate currency, but... it seems that they can only use Reuben coins in this city. I was told to go to the money exchange guild. -- the guild doesn't want to go now...

Moreover, rumors began to circulate that thieves were wandering the streets.

If things go on like this, I can't stay long in the 22 wards. decide to leave quickly

But the rumour spread faster than I expected, and by the time I entered the neighbouring 21st leg, which was relatively close, He hurried to the tenth leg, where rumors had already reached.

It's too early!

Perhaps the art of communicating such information has been established. A guild may be biting.

The guild is, as it were, like a union. People in the same line of business form unions, accommodating themselves, exchanging information and helping each other to benefit. Instead, there is a duty to be imposed. For example, contributions, rules, etc.

Anyway, it's getting harder to stay around here.

Let's go all the way at once...Chuo Ward and so on... ...no, wait.I'll look around the city again.

We are now in the tenth district. We have moved rapidly from the thirtieth leg to the center of the city."The streets are beautiful. It has a more sophisticated image than the 30th district that I thought was very well-organized.

Considering Chuo Ward is the center of this city... ...is the lower the number higher?

It may mean that 20 wards have more money than 30 wards and 10 wards have more money than 20 wards.

Gas lamps stand on the 10th leg of the road.

This was not seen in the twenty‐two wards.

Besides, there are even large theatrical buildings in the 10th leg. Street-goers are also dressed in expensive clothes.

My guess is probably true.

If so...

If you're going to run away, there are a lot of numbers... 42 wards is the best place to go.

If the lower the number, the higher the noble, the lower the bottom of the world, the higher the number.

The 42 wards in this town had the highest figures. On the map, it's located to the right of the 30th leg.

I turned my heel and went back the way I had just come.

Let's take a breather in the bottom city until the storm cools down.

"Cliffs... and so on... and "Oh, yeah!"

I went back to the thirtieth leg and was walking towards the forty-second leg.

and the boundaries of the ward were cliffs.

You can see the shabby streets far below. about twenty meters in height It's about the height of a building.

I see. I was stuck with the fact that the bottom wards were adjacent to the top 30 wards... this would make the people of the 30 wards feel safe.

At this height, there are not many fools to climb. It's almost impossible.

But I think I can go down.

And now I'm desperately going down the cliff.

As we walked up and down several wards, the sky was completely dim.I still haven't even decided to stay at a hotel. No, I didn't get any money in the first place.

We must enter the 42 wards at any cost.

We don't have time to go around the city.

I'm sure my rumor is spreading, and I don't like being pointed in the face.

"That's why... die hard all of a sudden when you come to a different world... ...you wake up to strange powers when you come to a different world!? Aren't your muscles and strength at the level of a high school student!"

There seems to be no such thing as Cheat ability or God's gift.

Well, he's more than a thirty-six-year-old."

"This... muscle pain will be confirmed the day after tomorrow... Oh, if you're young, you'll come tomorrow... it doesn't matter."

the fear of going down a cliff as tall as Bill without a lifeline

What's more, extreme hunger and fatigue from walking around.

My strength was at its limit.

And...

After just a moment of distraction, my body slipped off the cliff and was thrown into the air.

... Oh, I'm going to die.

I'm sick and tired of the prospect of a few deaths here.

God, don't you hate me so much?

There was little time left in the air. It was about half down.

and my body was cruelly knocked to the ground."

Shhhhush!

...Bashan?

What I heard was the sound of water.

The place where I fell was a wetland with stagnant, moist marshes.

Are you saved...?

When I stood up, I found myself stuffed with aquatic plants.

remove waterweeds and look around

Yeah. Don't be alive.

It stinks of a swamp. My senses seem to be functioning normally.Well... Oh, my clothes are muddy... I have to wash them somewhere. I only have one of these. What do you mean?

The swamp I fell was knee-deep and the bottom was filled with soft mud.

Thanks to you, I owe it to you saved me. It stinks. Well, it's better than dying. despite the smell of

When I stood up to get out of the swamp... something moved in the swamp.

What's going on?

There's something.........

Breathtakingly gazing at the swamp, a frog appeared.

What, frogs......……………………………… isn't that big?

The frog was about 80 centimeters long and somehow dressed.

Is this a frog tribe? There was a parrot tribe.

Does that mean someone who lives here?

Greetings... Shouldn't I?

I must be completely suspicious when it suddenly started raining.

No, from an objective point of view, it is obvious that frogs are more suspicious, but the predecessors should be respected, shouldn't they? So I greet them with a smile and a refreshingly.

"Hello! Nice to meet you."

I'm really cramped, but I'll try to smile and greet them.

Then the frog yelled at me, "Kerokerokerokerokerokerokerokerokerokerokerokerokerok!"

Can't you talk!?

What's this town!? Parrots talk, but frogs don't? I don't get the line.

That's all right.

I'm not interested in frog life.

I ignore frogs and get out of the swamp.Meanwhile, the frog stared at me. ...what's wrong with you?

I got out of the swamp and looked around... ...I was rigid.

There are... a lot of frogs.

Hundreds of frogs stood around the swamp, staring at us.

`Gee,.........Gee,

You screamed, didn't you?

It's a light and traumatic sight.

Hundreds of slovenly, 80 centimeters tall frogs stand on two steps and stare at us.

It's a horror! Seriously!

I left the wetlands as if I were running away, and continued to run to my martial arts.

Stop and you'll be caught up with a frog. with a feeling like that

If I get caught, I'll end up in the bottom of the swamp. I'm kidding!

On the way, we came across a wide river.

The current seems calm, but it's still dark. I don't know the depth of the water.

But I don't have time to take a detour, or I don't have time to spare.

A frog is about to chase.

"I don't care! Jump in! Even your dirty clothes are clean and kill two birds with one stone!"

Out of darkness and frog fear, I jumped into the river without hesitation and swam hard. ...it was relatively deep.

Crawl out of the river and start running again without a break.

Then I ran for a run and suddenly remembered that I was hungry.

That's where my strength ran out.

Unpaved, dirt falls on bare roads.

It's all over. I can't move an inch.In the sky I looked up there was an unreliable moon missing nearly 90 percent.

I felt as if I had been abandoned even by the moon.

... oh, it sucks. What is this world?

There are no beautiful women, there are no cheats, and if you trick a good man who saved you from falling, you'll be treated as a criminal all over the place......oh, that's natural.

After all, I'm a man who can only make ends meet by deceiving people.

That's the end of my life. This is the end of my life.

Then... there's a faint, sweet smell.

This is... ...a kind of nostalgic scent.

When I was a child, playing around until dark, I could smell dinner floating out of the kitchen window.

It smells nice and warm, reminiscent of such things.

I used my last strength to get up and move my feet in the direction of smell.

We ended up with a shabby building.

The door is closed, but there is a gap, perhaps poorly built, and light is leaking from the inside.

There is a tin sign hanging a little above the head next to the wooden door. The iron plate was hollowed out in the shape of a knife and fork.

Is this... restaurant?

My stomach beeps.

The scent from inside stimulated my stomach.

I can't stand this smell. Will you come in?

...but I have no money.

That doesn't mean we can give up.

Then what should we do?

... Gaia tells me to eat and run.

Yes, it must be so.

With Gaia's support, I pushed open the dining room door.

The store was dim and empty.

There seems to be a counter on the right and a room at the back. Perhaps there is a kitchen.

On the left is four round tables for four people.The store was relatively large, perhaps because the land was cheap. I don't think I can double the number of desks.

But there are no people. Not only the customers but also the clerks. Is it closed yet?

It's so quiet inside that it creates a department store-like melancholy feeling after work.

I ventured into the store. The floor creaks.

What's going on here? That's really bad.

Is it a restaurant where you can eat in a haunted house?

The desk is full of holes and the chairs rattle. The floor creaks naturally and, what's more, it's sticky.

The lights are just a few candles standing, perhaps because they are stinging the oil bill.

It's such a level of restaurant that you would never stop by, or leave immediately if you went in by mistake.

But I can't afford it now. There is no substitute for [for] one's back.

I'll put up with it here!

... well, I don't have any money to pay.

"Is there no one?"

call out to the back of a store

A little girl appeared from behind.

"Oh! I'm sorry, I didn't notice!"

It was a breathtakingly beautiful girl.

Her large, hollow eyes and cherry blossom lips are as fresh as fruit. Her loosely arcuate cheeks are as white and soft as cotton, and her shoulder hair gives the impression of being fluffy and comfortable to touch.

They seem a little too thin, but their limbs are slender and well-proportioned for their small build.

But there was the strongest weapon in his breast that made all those good elements seem trivial.

Piots, Kai-day!

What's this big milk!? Didn't all the nutrients in your body go there!?He's wearing a cheap tunic and a jacket, not particularly emphasizing his chest. Nevertheless, two bulges disproportionate to their small size, which seem to rebel against the laws of nature, pushed up their plain clothes and said, "I'm here!"

"Piots, Kai-day".

Who can blame me for speaking out without thinking?

Looking back, I've lived for revenge for 20 years. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I've never seen or spoken to such a large breast.

What a different world! This is a different world. The Different World!

"Oh, that?"

"No, nothing! I was just thinking back to the old days..."

"I see. And what's... "Paiotsukaede?"

"Ugh!"

The voice of my heart, which I had no idea of, bit me into the mouth of a large milk clerk.

I did something careless.

There's no way I can say to myself, 'Your big breasts!' No matter how refreshingly I say it, it's a pervert. To put it refreshingly, it's even more perverted.

I managed to mislead you.........huh?

"Why can't you communicate?"

In this city, no matter how muddy the language is, it should be translated into words that can be understood by others.

Why hasn't it been conveyed? No, I don't want you to convey it, but...

"Oh, I think it's probably because it's a word that only a few people understand."

The clerk answers me with a smile.

A word that only a few people can understand... is it an industry term or a technical term?

Is it a pie, a general reception, or a wktk?

I see... I can use this........."And what does "Paiotsukai" mean?"

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

"Oh, really?"

The clerk put his hands together and smiled happily.

Oh, my God!?

I couldn't help telling a lie!

Am I going to be judged because I couldn't say big breasts!?

However, there was no change in my body, which I was prepared for.

... Huh? Why?

I look at the clerk as if I were watching.

When I meet my eyes, the clerk bows his head.

Then, looking up, he smiled all over his face and said this happily.

"Thank you for praising my pie!"

......oh, oh, oh! You're welcome.

Apparently, he interpreted Piotu as Smile and Kai Day as Wonderful.

"I'll continue to do my best with Piot's Kai Day!"

"Well, yes. I don't think I should say that much."

"Oh, that's right. It's nothing to say for yourself, isn't it? Then, I'll do my best to get customers to say, 'It's Piot's Kay Day!'"

"Well, it might be better not to deal with such customers very often."

"But you told me, didn't you?"

"Yes, I'm sorry," I'm really sorry."

I won't be able to tell you the truth forever.

I feel like I've made a big dent in this girl's life.

Well, you know what? It's just a relationship between us. We'll never see each other again."Is the shop still open?"

"Oh, yes! Wait a minute!"

The girl came out of the counter in a hurry and bowed adorably as she stood in front of me.

"Welcome! Welcome to Yangdalitei!"

say that, and smile all over his words like that.

...Yodamari-tei is a good place to lose your name.

"I'm sorry at this hour,"

"No! We have a lot of ingredients left over, and it's all right!"

"No, it's better not to tell the customer that there's too much left over..."

"...what?"

"Oh, I'm sorry," It doesn't matter. Don't worry."

That face was something I really didn't understand.

He must be a weak‐witted boy. I won't go deep into it.

"I'll get ready now! Please wait at your favorite seat!"

Then the clerk went back to the back of the counter again.

Is he running it by himself?

That means you look like you're missing out, but you might actually be a solid person.

I choose the chair that seems to have the strongest legs in the store and sit down. ......well, I feel dizzy...this is it because I'm the most decent.

As I rattled my chair, I heard a creepy "jeez!" sound from the back of the counter. After all, the kitchen must be in the back.

You can hear metal clashing.

Do you have a frying pan and a ladle? If so, cooking skills are relatively advanced. The evolution of cooking utensils follows the evolution of food culture.Sit down and look around the store again.

It's old but clean. The stickyness on the floor must have already been fixed. Wall stains and damage to the ceiling tell the history of this restaurant.

It is clear that it has been used with great care for a long time.

...somehow I remembered my stable master's factory.

I kept using things that I could buy right away, saying, "It's better to buy things that are familiar with my body," until they broke down. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ." I feel kind of sentimental. Maybe it's because of the smell of this dish. This smell, similar to the dinner the landlady cooked for me, may be tickling my old memories.

It's no use recalling the past.

But now I have to think about what I'm going to do with my bed tonight... and what I'm going to do with my payment here.

……………I guess I have to pay for it here only to pay for it' a full‐scale dash

Well, that clerk looked like he'd run away.

"Mr. Customer,"

`Oh!'

My heart leapt a little when I was trying to eat and run.

I looked up and saw a clerk standing in front of me.

How long have you been there?

"What?"

He calms down his fasting heart and responds with a feigned calmness.

The clerk then asked me this with a big smile.

"Have you decided?"

...what?

"No, you... have already begun to make something, haven't you?"

"Yes, inadvertently. So, as it was almost finished, I realized, 'Oh, I haven't heard your order!'"

Ah... this girl is a fool.

"...then I'll take the one that's fine. and that's what I'm going on."You like it!? I'm glad... You're such a nice person."

Kind...?

Me?

Is it nice of a man to eat and run from now on?

Hmmm, don't laugh. What a naive fellow!

The clerk returns to the kitchen and I look at the menu on the wall.

Stir-fried crap vegetables.........20Rb

"River fish grilled..." 25Rb

Boiled Beast Meat.........30Rb

"River Fish Boiling ……30Rb"

"Black bread … … …25Rb"

"White bread......80Rb"

...what do you mean bread is the most expensive?

Also, the name is too harsh. I'm at a loss to understand why they write things like 'dusty vegetables' in a very honest way.

And the letters on the white bread have been erased with two thick lines. I suppose you've taken it off the menu. I probably had no one to order, so I stopped buying them.

Well, if you buy here, don't buy it at a bakery. The bread I saw in the bakery in the twenty‐second leg was about 70Rb. The bread here is probably overpriced for the store's profits.

Even so, don't be tempted to suspect that this store is not willingness to do business.

awful in many waysIt's the same for shop clerks who don't notice that customers are here, but it's also the same for displaying empty menus with two lines left blank. You'll feel bad, even if you don't intend to eat it, you'll feel a little bit lost: "Oh, I can't eat this."

The clerk is cute, isn't he? ... a bit stupid, though.

While I was thinking about it, a stupid clerk came up to me with a plate.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." It's a stir-fried vegetable."

"Why do you call it trashy vegetables? Just stir-fry vegetables, right?"

"But some customers don't like waste vegetables, so we have to tell them in advance."

It's too honest to be honest.

"Now, have some, sir," I hope it suits your taste."

a clerk with his hands folded behind his back and staring at me shyly. ...you see me eating?

Carry the stir‐fried crap vegetables to your mouth, without particular concern.

"Huh!? It's delicious!"

"Really? I'm glad."

They come in different sizes because they are crap vegetables, but that's where the accent is good.

Nothing is half-baked or cooked, even though it's mixed with carrots and bits of vegetables. This is proof that they are individually fried for ease of cooking.

The ingredients are bad, so it takes time and effort to cook deliciously.

It's a very thoughtful way of cooking that the landlady used to do.

"Well, then, please take your time.

Perhaps satisfied with my reaction, the clerk bowed and went back to the back of the counter.

Hunger also helped me, and I couldn't stop carrying food to my mouth.

The nostalgic taste brings back memories of the past.

The landlady's happy face runs through my mind as if I were eating deliciously.

d*mn it and good‐natured. And an uncompromising attitude.That clerk looks just like my parents.

......that's why I got angry.

Such a good‐natured man is sure to be deceived by someone.

Even though they've been tricked, they're not even angry about it, and they're probably scrambling by themselves to avoid causing trouble to the people around them. That must be the type of guy he must be that type.

First, in this situation where I'm the only one in the store, why would you back down?

We'll be able to clean up later. If I don't run away, why do you think...

You'll need to get a sense of reality.

How am I going to be treated by a good-natured person?

You should realize for yourself that the fool you're fooling is stupid.

...well, I don't have any money, so I have no choice but to run away.

The plate in front of me was empty. There's not a shred of vegetables left.

I've got a big belly, and I'm sure I'll be able to run well.

But that won't do.

If you just run away here, that clerk won't notice. at the folly of being deceived

So I'll fool you more easily and thoroughly.

be betrayed by faith You ought to feel the chagrin.

I walked up to the counter, laid my arm on it, and called out to the kitchen in the back.

"Staff!"

"Yes!"

At my call, the clerk pattered out of the kitchen.

with an easygoing face

"I'm sorry, but where is the washroom?"

"There is a restroom if you leave the shop and go around the back."

"...is it outside the shop?"

"There's no restroom in the dining room..."

I see. I was forgetting.Sewage is not well maintained in this world. In other words, it's a drawing system. It must be quite primitive, too.

It's true that you can't put it in the dining room.

"Well, I'll borrow some,"

"Well, you know...

"Don't worry, I'll leave my wallet behind."

Say so and put your empty wallet on the counter.

The clerk looks relieved.

You must have thought that I wouldn't run away without paying for it. without knowing it was an empty wallet

There's no one who opens people's wallets on his own... and he'll make any amount of time to escape.

You can trust me like that... you can be betrayed.

"Well, I'll be back,"

somewhere else, to another ward.

I left the shop without saying so.

Go around behind the scenes and go to the bathroom once, just in case. It was a very primitive toilet with only a hole in the dirty floor. No, this is presumptuous to call a toilet. It's like a lavatory or a toilet.

Leaving the stinking lavatory, I left the dining room. As soon as possible so as not to make a sound of course.

Now that the dining room is completely out of sight, I'll turn around and say a few words to the good-natured clerk.

"There are a lot more bad people in the world. I've learned a lot."

The night is completely deep and I decide to sleep in the open air.

It's really cold because I took a swim in the river...

I wandered through the 42 wards in search of some place where the wind and rain might stop.
