Kujonin Chapter 10

Kujonin

—

Like always, I ate a breakfast of honey-toast, took a dose of herb tea, and soon a Customer-san came.

Just in case, I recommended medicinal antidotes rather than the poison-cleansing herbs, but the disadvantage is that they're expensive so the poison-cleansing herbs were chosen instead.

A doctor that had a cold also bought a lot of expensive restoratives.

Next, using the left over medicinal and poisonous herbs, I make all sorts of medicinal products.
Unexpectedly, the amount of things I have to do are many.

Right when I was thinking it was about time to eat lunch, in the corner of the room a bug came out so I stepped on it to kill it.

There's the possibility of contaminating the other medicines, so instead of insecticides I used sticky traps.

As for insecticides, in the first place there aren't any cans or spray nozzles, so let's subst.i.tute it with all sorts of things.

I shaved some wood round, clipped it, made a straw out of a forabbit's gullet, and made an opening with a needle; it didn't turn out so good, but in short it's a small version of a well pump; I thought that, although it's a little too soon to say that.

It was soon completed.

Ma, even if there wasn't a well, I can create as much water as I want by drawing a magic circle, though.

Magic is way too convenient, so that's why there are so many things that haven't been developed, naa; while thinking that I also made the type of insecticide that let's out smoke from a bottle.

There's probably no opportunity to test it in the store, but typical houses seem like they would have some.
I think that I should go look for a place somewhere to test it.

While working I tended to the customers, and pretty soon it's evening.

The two of them both had wrinkles between their eyebrows and drooping shoulders.

When I tried asking, the work of identifying corpses and meeting with the bereaved went well, but I was made fun of a lot.

An irritated Sera said.

Balzack also gets heated up.

Sera changed her point of attack on me.

I take an insecticide bottle with water in it and shot it towards the two.

"Wh,what is it!? That!?"

The two of them both had rather good reactions.

"It's great. It's really great, but!"

From their mouths, Sera and Balzack uttered complaints.

"In a day, you made that thing?"

"I'm back-!"

I showed Camilla the bottle too, but she said, "What is this, how plain," and it was over.

"Rather than that, here; I bought clothes for you to use for the date tomorrow, Naoki!"

"E,e,even if you praise me… So? It's this. It's like it's just bursting with male s.e.xiness. If it's this, that girl will get all hot for you!"

"Sorry, Camilla. I don't think I can go along with your tastes. From now on you have won the t.i.tle of the worst fashion leader in the history of elves."

"And then I'll be arrested by the guards! Forget it! I don't want to hear anymore! I'm going to eat dinner and go right to sleep!"

I had also drunk liquor, so I entered the room, crawled into bed, and immediately fell asleep.

The next morning, I sent off the two slaves to the mansion that still had bodies left in it, bought a suitable shirt and black pants from the secondhand shop, and watched the store.

We finished lunch at a public cafeteria and had tea.

"Everything, I guess. What is this world called? This country's name, the town's name, and what about if I want to go to the next town? Will a war break out? Other than the knowledge to live in this town, I really don't know anything."

"Then, first would be the world, ne; rather than my knowledge, this is what pretty much most people know, though…"

The world is called Serosophia.

How big the continent is or what it's shaped like is something Irene doesn't know. This town is Kubenia, near the mountain ranges situated in the north of Alisfay that's pretty much abandoned land.

Right now, Alisfay isn't at war, but she doesn't know about other countries.

If I became a reporter, unexpectedly, I might be able to earn a lot.

Among that there's a story about a never before seen waterfall and never-before heard of machines written there; Irene said she'd like to see them once.

Seeing new towns and sceneries doesn't sound too bad either.
Since I have the opportunity to come to another world.

"A, that's right. There's something I need to ask about."

"What is it? If it's something I can answer, then I'll answer it."

"That's true. A regular master of slaves wouldn't do it. And it's terribly difficult for former slaves to find jobs."

"… There is one, but I wonder how it would be?"

Like that we went into a cafe and, while drinking tea, I talked with Irene.

When we left the cafe it was totally dusk.

It seems that Irene lives in the company housing close to the Guild, and so I saw her off to there.

"Me too; to have received so many souvenirs, I've made you use money."

"I thank you as well."

Come to think of it, I don't know what the special service was or if it happened, but the date went well so there's no problems.
