''Hmm. Now I hope that both you, Iris and Cecil are pretty...'
White's (Ritogon) voice echoed in the tent (tent).
''Hafu ......,''
Me, Iris and Cecil all sighed together.
About ten minutes after we defeated the 'giant land snake'.
We had moved to the tent that Ilgafa's regular soldiers had set up.
White said, 'I want to wipe the wet bodies of the men. It's a good idea, and White's water absorbency is excellent. As for me, Cecil and Iris were shivering.
But, well, it's daytime, and even though Aine and Rafilia are guarding us, there are still soldiers around.
It's not a good idea to wipe each other's bodies, so we take off our clothes and lay back to back with each other.
We decided to leave the rest to White's own devices.
But why are Otoo-san, Iris-kaasan and Cecil-san facing each other back to back?
Don't pursue it.
In case you're wondering, I only wear one pair of underwear.
Iris and Cecil can be found at ......
'Dear White, oh, please don't look at me too much. Iris is ...... still growing up.
Wow, I'm so overgrown, but here it is: ......
Both of them have shaky voices.
...... I wonder what they're wearing.
Aine prepared a basket for your clothes earlier. Mine is at your feet. I'm sure you'll be able to find the best way to get the most out of this article. But judging from the panic of the two of them at that time...
...... Well, okay.
Then let's get dressed and go outside.
'Ha, yes ...... hiyah!
Pito.
Hmm ......?
It's like something soft touched my thighs .......
'Nah, it's nothing. Iris's skin on the crouched hailstones is her brother and ...... no no.
Iris shakes her head and her hair brushes against my back.
I feel a cold feeling ...... this is a drop of water, I guess.
'Iris oka-san, your hair is still wet!
Mr. White? Nah, it's okay. I'll wipe it down later.
''More. White wants to work, too. I don't want to be shy, all right?
'Not now. The place where I interacted with my brother is tingling ...... fluffy ......
"We'll start with the bangs.
No, you can't do that, Mr. White! Wow, wow.
Wow. Mr. Iris!
I can't see it because my back is turned, but I can vaguely see what's going on.
When I was trying to wipe Iris' hair, Shiro (Ritogon) dived into her face...
Iris lost her balance and almost fell backwards...
...... and. Dangerous.
I grabbed Iris by the arm.
Using it as a fulcrum, I circled around and came in front of me to see Iris at .......
"[...... ah]
Their eyes met.
Iris's face turned bright red and...
Nay-kun? I heard loud voices, are you okay?
The entrance to the tent opened and Aine appeared.
''...... eh, that .......''
'I'm sorry to show you the poor stuff. I'm sorry that I thought I would wait until you were older before I had a chance to show it to your brother. I haven't changed at all since we took a bath together, so I thought that if you would give me your brother's attention, I would be able to become more mature...
"Aine Oka-san. Iris aka-sama!
To describe it in detail, Iris is sitting behind me, mumbling and mumbling, while Cecil is desperately trying to pacify her. White is fluttering around them.
...... I don't know what to say in a situation like this.
It's a good thing that you're able to get a good look at your own clothes, because they are in a basket in front of you. Every single piece of clothing is in there. Iris, you're so serious. I guess he wanted to let White, who entered "Ritogon," do his job. ...... I've done a bad thing: .......
'In the meantime, Aine, can you dress Iris for me?
"...... Oh, my goodness.
Aine looked at us in the tent for a while before .......
'Iris, if you've worked that hard, it's another push. Whew.
The tent closed softly.
And, wait a minute, big sister.
That was fun.
...... Yes, ......, I hope you're happy with it, Mr. White.
A few hours later.
Leaving the rest to the regular soldiers, we returned to the port city of Irgafa ahead of them.
Iris and Rafilia stayed behind and worked on the lord's house while we were at the retreat.
So I wanted to give them a break as soon as possible, but ...... Iris
I have a proposition for you, my brother.
'Come to think of it, you said something like that after you defeated the 'giant land snake'.
Yes, sir.
Iris gave a small nod, then
Would you like to come with Iris for a day trip into town?
That's what I was suggesting.
So now me, Iris and Aine are getting ready to go out.
Cecil is taking a break because he used too much magic power. Rafilia is...
Master said, 'I ate Aine's food and I'm full, so I'm going to sleep.'
'...... You're true to your instincts. Raphilia.
When I peeked into the room a while ago, I saw her stomach sticking out and in a deep sleep.
That's why Iris calls him "master". Big brother.
Iris looked at me and smiled.
'Iris has a tendency to overthink things, so I respect the way Master is, staying true to his instincts and living out his reality. That's probably why she feels comfortable with her Master at her side.
Okay.
Also, you know, shape wise.
...... Let's just end up with a good story there.
Even today, if you have a chest as big as your master's, your ...... chest would not have weighed you down and caused Iris to fall backwards. ...... No, then you wouldn't have had skin-to-skin contact with your brother, and ...... that's a painful thing to do, ...... but then ......
Ilis, you think too much, you think too much.
Aine, in her maid's uniform, gave Iris a pat on the back.
I understand that Aine gets caught up in her role, too. In that case, don't think about it, just say what you want to do.
There's something you want to tell us, isn't there? Iris.
Do you understand? ......
Oh, well.
You look nervous all the time, and in the first place, Iris rarely mentions that she wants to walk around town.
...... Iris wants to have more 'reality processing power'.
Iris exclaimed.
...... reality processing power?
I mean, the ability to deal with real-world problems in an accurate manner.
Isn't Iris a good enough realist?
'Sure, I can handle economics, diplomacy and territorial management. What Iris wants is the ability to survive everyday life as usual. It's a good thing that he's a bit lacking in everyday skills, such as the fact that he showed his brother the carelessness of his ...... tents earlier, but Iris is a bit lacking in everyday skills ......
The merchant's kid, "Golden Rabbit," has escaped, and she wants you to catch it when you find it. Apparently it's the Adventurer's Guild's top priority quest. Be careful, Iris.
As I was thinking about this, I received a message.
...... Brother, you are too soft on Iris.
That's not good training, is it? I love you, okay? Utterly and utterly .......
'Oka-san, what's a spit-roasted restaurant here?
That's right. White. Can you smell that nice smell?
'I know! I can smell it through the Tenryu's Egg.
That's my boy, White. Iris is very proud of you.
Iris pats the Armband of the Dragon, and Shiloh clears his throat happily.
In front of us is a spit-roasting stall.
An elderly woman is grilling wild boar meat and vegetables on a spit. Each skewer is 2 arsha. It is the mission of Iris to buy three of these.
'Would it be OK if we paid in silver coins here ......?'
Iris takes out six silver coins from her wallet.
In fact, this is the first time that ...... silver coins are taken out and traded. The party's wipes were always kept by Aine's sister.
It was the same when we went to buy soap at the resort. Iris was a math specialist. When we were in the Lords' house, all we did was deal with paperwork.
So this is the first time he's actually taken silver to the store.
'D-Don't you think it's safe?
Nervous.
Iris held out six silver coins ...... in the palm of her hand.
The size is subtly wobbly. Is it OK? The silver content (cancer yield) is supposed to be uniform. In trade, gold coins are checked for authenticity before they are traded. If inaccurate gold coins are included in the shipment, this can cause problems.
Is this silver coin ...... safe?
What should I do if I get into trouble?
To begin with, is six silver coins for three skewers correct?
You can buy the meat fillets and have Aine cook them for less than half the money. No, there is no need to force yourself to eat meat in the first place. What your brother is looking for is a stable life. If you want to live without working in the future, this is where you will have to put up with it.
No, Iris's mission is to be an errand boy and there is no point in thinking that far. Apparently, my thoughts are running out of control because of the tension. I can't help but imagine a stable life with my brother, to a rambunctious life with you all - and even to the point where we're all thinking about the name of our first child.
I shouldn't ...... if I don't focus on the work in front of me.
.................. If it's a girl, I like the name 'Char' ...... Tenryu. I received part of the name of Blanchalka. And so Shiro-sama and I became good friends with .......
'Iris Oka-san?'
...... haha.
I mustn't, I mustn't.
You were at work. Let's do the math.
Let's jog your memory. Remember the market price of your possessions and meat.
Think about burying your money as much as possible and getting your brother to praise you .......
'I suppose you wouldn't hesitate ...... to give me a two discount on the current price.
What's up, little girl? Do you want to bargain?
I noticed that the woman at the stall was looking at Iris.
'Would you mind if I bargained?'
Well, that depends on the story.
...... I see.
Iris thinks as she hugs Shiro-sama.
The other man is an elderly woman who is grilling meat at a food cart. Considering the fact that she is wearing greasy clothes, she must have been doing this job for a long time. Then, she is a street vendor professional. We should not underestimate them.
To begin with, the fact that he runs a food stall in this place means that his supplies are probably stored in a warehouse at the port. All the cargo that passes through the streets or comes from the sea is collected there once. If you've been working there for a long time, you've probably been to the morning market that is held there. Then you'll be familiar with the market.
'Then how about three discounts, four arsha for three bottles?
'Hey, hey, girl. Don't you think you're haggling too much?
Is that right?
Meat prices have gone up recently. It's bad for business.
No. There must be a surplus of wild boar meat because three caravans arrived the day before yesterday. I think our prices are about 30% lower than they were before.
What about ............?
The woman in the spit-roasting shop has her mouth hanging open.
Maybe she's dismayed by Iris.
It's a negotiation. We should give them the exact information we know.
"Sea traffic is definitely behind schedule, but land traffic is moving as usual. It's just the season for hunting. A lot of wild boar meat should be stocked. Considering the current distribution price, the cost of ingredients for the skewers and the cost of making the skewered meat sauce, we should be able to make a profit even at a 3 discount.
Of course, we don't want to take away your profit, but the discount is just a way for us to prove that we have the information. So, in the interest of business, a discount of 10.5 percent is reasonable. However, the vegetable skewers left over there - five silver coins with a skewer of 'nigiri-uka'. How about that?
Oh, ...... oh?
I think it's a good idea to sell vegetable skewers. 'I think selling vegetable skewers is a good idea, because after tomorrow there should be a caravan of vegetable sellers coming from the West Road. How about gathering customers today and then selling the cheaper items tomorrow?
'The ...... vegetable caravan tomorrow?'
Really? But hey, ......
I heard a voice from next to the spit-roasting shop.
I looked to the side and saw a man selling vegetable soup at a street stall with a confused look on his face.
Is there something on your mind?
Spices are getting so expensive these days, you know?
The spices are supposed to come from the seaway: ...... Is there a problem?
I feel like they're circulating slower than usual.
I'd love to hear more about it: ......
This is a rare opportunity.
It is the support of the people that makes the family of a lord possible.
I can't pass up the opportunity to hear the voice of the people in person. It is said that the stability of this port city is better for you to enjoy the 'Ichirabu life' with your brother.
"...... I see. The shipping service is ...... hmmmmm ......
...... Aine.
...... Yeah. Nah-kun.
Iris, you've been talking your way around the shop and getting people to talk to each other: ......
A skewer shop doesn't even notice that their product is scorched: ......
Should I send Iris a 'shared consciousness/conversion' message?
You have to wait and see.
...... Sounds exciting.
I'm getting off on a tangent at .......
I don't know what it is. ...... I'm more anxious than when I'm doing my own quest.
The distance between us and Iris is only a few meters. Iris is too absorbed in the conversation to notice us.
The ladies at the stall seem to be good people. There's no one around to be seen.
I have the Magic Sword Leggy in its sheath, and Aine has the Hane no Mop in hand, ready to jump out of the window at any moment. They are ready to jump out at any time.
'Just looking at it makes me nervous ......
'Iris, I need you to get moving soon: ......
You're talking about the menu recommendations of the street vendors.
It's new to you, Ilis, so it's no wonder.
...... Oh, Iris, he's walking away.
''Shiro warned me about it. That's the 'Heavenly Dragon Larval Body'.
Iris, I think I got a bunch of spit-roasts.
Eating your way through your 'first errand', Iris, you're quite the challenger.
"But you're wobbling. ...... Can't help it. Aine, can you get ahead of me?
I know. Casually go in front of Iris and control the movement of human waves with the 'kinetic observation'.
Please. I'll support Iris from behind.
Hang in there.
Nice to meet you.
Shush.
And me and Aine held each other's hands and split up.
