Runaria’s personality
[Ah, Konnichawa, I am Runaria….]
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…]
[Okamisan, did you elope with a sickly noble 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!]
(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) spacing out too much, her eye is saying as such.
You would also like to eat fish, so it’s the same here.
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.
[No, that, this much is natural…]
[That is not a lie]
Misha sighed with a [Ha~]
[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.
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.
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]
[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?
[Futhermore, there is one more reason which you will know once you travel]
I understood the reason once we started traveling.
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 (Watashi) 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]
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.
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.
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?]
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.
Runaria said that.
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.
[Too expensive! This is considered small for this species of fish during this season. Nobody will buy it if you do not lower the price!]
Runaria raised her voice during the negotiation.
[Th, then, how about 6000 coins?]
[I will go out of business… at least make it 5300 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 fish!]
[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.
Misha said in a whisper.
[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.
[Now I understand the reason why Runaria was selected…]
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.
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.
