Chapter 199: Negotiations with Merchants

[ TN: Sorry to have kept you waiting, the updates shall resume.]

As you walk towards the west of Comer City, you would inadvertently reach a huge forest towards the northwest. Of course, it is a suicidal act to go through this forest since it is known as a treasure trove of numerous demons.

For this reason, the west highway road had been constructed to run around the forest. And as you go further, there is a Fis.h.i.+ng village to be found called Povuru.

A desolate fis.h.i.+ng village would be visible---

「Th-This!?」

「When was such a port built?」

「How stunning! 」

From the top of the hill, they could see a desolate fis.h.i.+ng village which was quite at the opposite side of the port.

The merchants raised voices of surprise one after another, while comparing the imbalance between the port and desolate fis.h.i.+ng village.

Even those who were escorting the merchants were also in a similar state. Though there are special products, the catch in the fis.h.i.+ng village was quite low compared to the harbour.

It was impossible to not be surprised.

「Mago-dono, is this it?」

「Hohoho, it seems like I was not informed of this.」

「Even Victor-dono?」

「Of course, even I did not know about this. But still, since it’s Satou-sama, this degree of difficulty is nothing at all.」

The merchant’s eyes became sharp at the words of Victor.

Mago and Victor are the merchants who decided to come here.

They heard from Yuu and were asked to come to Povuru, saying that they would like to sell something else other than livestock.

In addition, Yuu had given permission for Mago and Victor to bring merchants who were acquainted with them.

「This... Did Satou-san build such a port? Then that means-- how rude of me.

Satou-sama obviously has the power to build such a port.」

A merchant who was glared at by Victor noticed his mistake and hurriedly corrected his error in speech.

「But still, a port is essential for s.h.i.+ps...」

「Are you the merchants that Satou-san spoke about?」

A shabby old man appeared in front of the merchants while they were gazing at the port.

While looking at the approaching old man, the guards did not dampen their alertness. They were judging the danger while they put their hands on their weapon.

「Wait. I am not a thief.」

「Hou. I heard about you from Satou-sama, are you by any chance the village head?」

Victor glances at the old man while stroking his beard, with a suspicious smile on his face.

「That's right. I am the village head of this place.」

「Then let's keep our conversation light! Where is Satou-sama currently?」

「Whwhat!? What is this? Aren't you quite the rude fellow.」

Victor hugs the old man while looking around, but Yuu was nowhere to be seen.

At that moment, a man from the village was running towards their location.

「Village head-! It's almost time for the arrival!!」

「They are coming!!」

When the village head breaks away from victor, he moves towards the man.

The male merchants were aware of the communication device that was currently grasped in the hands of that man, and their eyes were slowly turning into one of greed.

Magic Communication devices were extremely expensive, they are not something that could be owned by such desolate fis.h.i.+ng villages.

「Is the net prepared?」

「Everything has already been prepared, docking can be done at any time, and all the villagers are on stand-by.」

「Net?」said Victor and Mago, who had question marks floating above their heads, while the village head and the man were excitedly talking about the net.

At that moment, they could see on the horizon that there was some distortion.

「I-I-It's here! Village head, it's finally here!!」

「I can see! I can see that!! Qui-quickly, let's go!!」

The village head yelled at Victor and ran to the port.

The merchants were left behind and were still wondering what was happening. But soon after, they were stunned when they finally grasped the visage of the thing that was gradually getting more visible from the distortion.

「What the heck is that?!」

「I-It's a s.h.i.+p. It's not just a s.h.i.+p! It's a magical s.h.i.+p!」

「Seriously! It looks like a demonic s.h.i.+p… and a water Dragon!? And IT’S HUGE!」

「A demonic s.h.i.+p along with a water dragon… connected by a chain?! The water-d-dragon is pulling the s.h.i.+p.」

As spoken by the merchants and guards who had their tongue tied, after finally understanding what was going on. A scenery where a sea dragon was pulling a magic s.h.i.+p in front of their eyes was not an illusion but a reality.

In front of Ao, a school of fish were being driven away while many bouncing and flying fishes could be seen, as the water being splashed was causing waves.

「NOW! 1-2 !」

「「「1-2!!」」」

Povoru villagers began to pull the net with the call of the village head.

Most of the fish that was pulled by Ao was caught by the beach seine.

Fishes were caught in large quant.i.ties, which would later become valuable food for the Povoru Village and also a source of income.

「Oooh. Thank you Satou, it's a big catch this time! This would lessen the hunger of the people in the village.」

Yuu who docked the magic s.h.i.+p at the port was soon received by the village head who rushed towards him. His face was full of smiles.

「That is good. But beware of jealousy from the neighbouring villages.」

「I understand. Until now, I was called poor Povoru, but never again will I be called with such an uncouth name!」

While the village head was excited, Yuu was patting the head of Ao who had done much work.

While wondering if it was hard for Ao to pull such a heavy magic s.h.i.+p, but then realized that it was impossible. All it thought was that it would be nice to play with Yuu and therefore came along to play.

「Yuu-sama this is--」

「Satou-sama, I wanted to meet you!!」
