Chapter 261

MILE CHAPTER 261: DWARF VILLAGE 2

The first day ended without any problems .

As we are still close to the city, bandits and monsters aren’t in this area .

『Well, let’s camp here . 』(Merchant Leader)

The merchants travel back and forth this way many times .

It seems this is the place they normally take breaks and camp .

Unless the schedule goes wrong due to weather, horse carriage failure, raids, etc .

We went a little away from the road, making a circle with the carriages to make a safe space .

The carriages will act as a shield in case of being attacked at night .

It’s too reckless to move the carriages in the darkness and the carriages full of goods can’t run away from bandits or monsters .

Throwing away the carriage and riding the horse will also be difficult for merchants .

After all, their only choice is either repel or surrender .

Besides, surrender is only an option when their opponents were bandits .

If the other party was the monsters…

At that time, the merchants have no choice but to believe in the power of the escort they hired .

『Well, could I leave the camp for a moment?』(Mile)

As usual, Mile asked the merchants for permission .

If she has flower picking, she doesn’t have to report every time .

But because she plans to leave a bit far away, however, she can’t go so far by foot, it’s not a big problem .

Think so, the merchant gave permission promptly, but the eyes of 【Evil spirit Utopia】 and 【Flame’s Friendship】 were shining with expectation .

And after Mile departed, Rena’s trio told the merchants .

『We don’t need the dinner』(Rena)

And when the merchants were dumbfounded, the members of the other two hunter parties also said one after another .

『Me too』(Wolff?)

『I also don’t need…』(Vegas?)

『We too…』(Hunters)

『『『Whaaaaaaaat!』』』(Merchants)

What are you going to do without dinner?

Surprisingly, the merchants were told so . In the end, they were only preparing dinner for themselves .

And after a while .

『I’ve returned』(Mile)

Mile came back empty-handed .

But judging from Mile’s expression, the hunters didn’t feel disappointed .

『Well, I will take it out』(Mile)

And Mile started taking the prey from storage:

*Deer .

*Fruits like persimmon .

*And the familiar big water barrel .

The contents are fruit juice water, and the bowl placed next to it has ice made by magic .

The hunters started taking out their purse…

『Ah, the deer and fruits are what I hunted in the working hours, so they are free .

But the fruit juice water and sauce are what I bought in advance, as well as the seasoning like salt and spices . That’s why you still have to pay for it .

Fruit juice water 1 cup 2 small silver coins . Seasoning is a big service, how about 5 small silver coins for all you can use!』(Mile)

As expected, it still cost a certain amount of small silver coins for 6 days, except for 2 days to stay in the village in the 8 days trip .

The hunters are the girls’ acquaintances from last time, 【Red Oath】also feel pity for them .

So, Mile decided to make a special service .

『Oh, are you serious!?』(Wolff)

『Well, it certainly is a convincing explanation…

Or rather, I am amazed at your words!』(Vegas)

Well, they are medium grade hunters, they don’t have that much money .

Even if the discount isn’t really that big .

However, receiving free meals from people’s kindness always tastes better meals were paid with a feeling of frustration . Paying money gives a sense of defeat for some reason, or a disappointment .

The meal this time is more delicious! The hunters are really happy! They feel thankful from their heart!

It’s free of charge except for drinks and seasonings . But if they pay once, they can use unlimited seasoning (works)

(I’ll eat it . I give up . I will eat it!) (Hunters)

The hunters completely opened up .

Then, Rena started cooking food with the cookware Mile took out

Maevis searched for dried wood and turned it into firewood in a moment, after that she disassembled the deer .

Pauline helped Meavis with it and cut meat to an appropriate size .

Mile takes out dishes, seasonings, and sauce from storage, and arranges them on the table that she took out before .

The merchants and coaches were stunned looking at them .

『『『『『『『…………』』』』』』』(3 Merchants + 4 Coaches)

『Could… this… be… storage… magic?』(Merchant)

One of the merchants asked Mile with a not very confident voice .

No, if people saw this they could understand it was storage magic .

But the merchant’s attitude was also reasonable because of Mile’s storage magic’s capacity .

It’s deer, not a fawn, but a large adult .

Tables, chairs, furnaces, cooking utensils and tableware, water barrels, and many others .

Behind them is a large tent, which is assembled and reinforced variously .

The Merchants only heard that 【Red Oath】 can use attack magic, healing magic, and can provide water by magic . They thought that only Rena and Pauline are magicians from their equipment .

Besides, Mile is wielding a sword, it’s normal to think there are two vanguards .

Since the 3 parties knew how to fight in the previous joint mission, there was no need to report each other their abilities and fighting methods .

Therefore, the merchants did not have the opportunity to know that .

And because it has nothing to do with the fighting ability, Mile didn’t report about her storage magic to the merchants .

『Oh, yes .

It’s convenient in various ways …』(Merchants)

It would be convenient .

If possible, I’d like a bit of that treasure,

I want to suck off their abilities!

The merchants couldn’t control their thought…

『Well, everyone, here you go (dozo)!』(Mile)

Invited by Mile, the hunters started digging in .

Pauline also brought out the soup made with a lot of ingredients

The Merchants and Coaches looked back at their simple tables with hard bread and dried meat .

And everyone’s voice resounded . (T . N: the Hunters)

『『『『『Itadakimasu!』』』』』(Everyone)

After the meal, Mile started talking with the merchants, asked about various kinds of products carried by merchants .

As expected by Mile and the result of some interview surveys in the city, it seems that the merchants didn’t bring alcoholic beverages with disadvantages in terms of transportation .

They still carry a few bottles as the gifts to raise the mood of the village chief and skilled smiths .

(Alright, bingo!) (Mile)

What could raise the mood of the dwarf village is wine, and the value of fine wine is high .

The dwarf village has nothing comparable to it .

After that, the problem was only what to do with the selling price .

『Well, how much is the gift liquor?』(Mile)

If you don’t understand, ask the experts .

『Oh, normal wine is about three silver coins,

It’s about 8 silver coins if it’s a distilled liquor . (buying)

As might be expected, it’s somewhat high value there…

But they can still make cheap wine over there, that’s why wine can be a little cheap .

For distilled liquor, it might be a lot higher (selling)』(Merchant)

(Well, it’s the same judgment as mine .

And, I am preparing something better than that .

The margins are good, so it’s natural…) (Mile)

Mile was convinced of the commercial, no, her victory .
