Chapter 9

Runaria’s personality

[Ah, Konnichawa, I am Runaria….]

This girl is approximately 14 or 15 years old.

She seems so fragile that she will break into pieces with just a slight touch.

Furthermore, she looks so beautiful, like a piece of art. Or rather, once you see this girl, it would make a sculptor would feel the inferiority of their work and destroy their own creation.

[This is a lie…]

How could okamisan give birth to such a girl?

[Okamisan, did you elope with a sickly n.o.ble in the past, did you experience such a past?]

Although it might seem rude, I was thinking of their complicated family matters.

[There is no mistake, [Runaria] is the child of my husband and I. Whahaha!]

[Aa, If I knew this is how women are, I would not get marry (like this now) …]

(T.L Not sure about this sentence)

I think this is a joke, but the inn boss is sighing from the kitchen

[Ano, if it is not too troublesome, can I depend on you during my purchase?]

Runaria’s voice also sounded very sweet.

Misha bite and tugged on my pants.

Goshujinsama, (you are) s.p.a.cing out too much, her eye is saying as such.

You would also like to eat fish, so it’s the same here.

[I understand, leave it all to me]

In fact, I was also thinking it is about time to complete a guild request.

Of course I agreed.

However, after we returned to the room, Misha sarcastically started blaming me.

[In the end, human males still prefer young girls]

[No, that, this much is natural…]

[The matter about me, you keep repeatedly saying that I am cute right?]

[That is not a lie]

Misha sighed with a [Ha~]

The sigh is like that of a human.

[As expected, to attract the interest of goshujinsama, I must become a human]

(Misha) seems to be jealous, a women’s heart sure is difficult to understand.

———————————————————————–

On the following day, I went to the guild to accept the commission.

It is necessary to accept the commission through the guild, as it is not counted just by a verbal agreement in the inn.

Well, the requester will reject all other adventurers beside me so there is no need to worry about others getting the job first.

Hence, on the second day, a relatively big horse carriage was parked in front of the inn.

[This carriage is borrowed once a month. Maa, this carriage is the shared property of the town]

Okamisan said [Well then, I shall leave it to you] while laughing loudly.

[Ano, I have something in my mind that I need to ask]

There is a matter that I am slightly concerned with.

[Is it fine that a male adventurer is traveling with a lone girl?]

[Or rather, I am more troubled that there are no rumors (of my daughter with guys). That girl is always doing sewing work with girls only]

(Is okamisan) trying to create a fateful encounter?

Are~, then, is this not the perfect opportunity…?

[Futhermore, there is one more reason which you will know once you travel]

I understood the reason once we started traveling.

[Misha-chan, really is cute desu]

Runaria walked while carrying Misha along.

Runaria, the horse and I are walking side by side without feeling tired.

(T.L Okay this is where the picture should be, not the last chapter)

[I (Watas.h.i.+) love cats very much. However, the cats in the city are not as friendly. I feel that a domestic cat is equivalent to a child]

I see. It does not seem bad traveling together with a cat (for Runaria).

As Misha is unable to speak, she friendly cried out ‘Nya~Nya~’.

Misha should only be close towards me, but this is a part of the job so I understand and let it go. (T.L Lol MC jealous of the cat? Btw I am also not very sure of the above 4 sentence)

Our destination is a harbor city south of the capital called Napuuru.

The distance is approximately 40 nagu, which is 80 km when converted to kilometers.

This distance will actually take two days for a horse carriage to cover.

Due to the long distance, it is extremely difficult to transport fresh products. There is also the issue for the cost of transportation so most fishes are dried before being transported back to the capital. This allows the fish to be preserved and also reduce the weight.

I heard all this information from Runaria.

Although I thought that she is more of the quiet type of character, she is surprisingly outspoken when there is only the two of us.

[However, is it sufficient having only me as your bodyguard?]

This is the shortest route from the capital to the harbor city Napuuru so the public order is still not as bad.

In fact, it will be extremely troubling if the main route from the capital to the sea is blocked.

I spent the trip chatting with Runaria, slept on the carriage for one night and arrived at Napuuru uneventfully.

Because this is the harbor city, there are a lot of muscular guys on that streets who look like being good at fighting. It is the same scenario in the guild so this is slightly scary.

Then, we went to the fish merchant for the sake of buying dried fishes.

[Let me negotiate the cost of the purchase]

Runaria said that.

Is it truly fine (leaving it to her) …?

The sly and cunning merchant will definitely jerk up the price.

There was however no cause for concern.

Runaria’s expression changes the moment we met the merchant.

Why, does it feel like okamisan came out?

[Hai~, eto~, there are 8 boxes for dried fish which cost a total of 6400 coins.

The merchant stated the price.

[Too expensive! This is considered small for this species of fish during this season. n.o.body will buy it if you do not lower the price!]

Runaria raised her voice during the negotiation.

[Th, then, how about 6000 coins?]

[Still too expensive! Let me take a look. Ahh, look, the colour and the shape of the fish is bad and small. This at most 4500 coins!]

[I will go out of business… at least make it 5300 coins…]

[5000 coins!]

[I… I understand…]

The merchant is obviously being pressurized.

What’s more, Runaria is the party pressurizing…

[Ahh, and, please bring out two boxes of small dried fis.h.!.+]

[How, how much should it cost…?]

[Should I change the supplier next time?]

[I understand… I will give it as an add on…]

I carried Misha while looking at the scene.

[All women have two face ne~]

Misha said in a whisper.

Anyway, since Runaria’s voice is so loud, Misha’s voice will not be heard regardless of what happens.

[That’s right… Well, Okamisan’s blood flows within her after all, this…]

After the trade is concluded, Runaria came back as if nothing has happened while changing back to her fragile look.

[I ended successfully. Thank you very much…]

[Now I understand the reason why Runaria was selected…]

[I, am not used to talking to men, so I was nervous…]

That is definitely a lie.

Well, all we have left to do is to send the carriage loaded with dried fish back.

However, things does not go as expected.

At night, while keeping watch at the front of the carriage, Misha’s nose twitched a few times.

[It is the smell of the beasts]

Even if it is not as sensitive as dog’s, a cat’s nose is also relatively good.

[Is it stray dogs?]

[There is a high chance that it is monsters]

I drew my sword.
