Chapter 74: Strong Trader and Weak Wolf

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

◆ ◇ Naniwa City ◇ ◆

Naniwa City, which was recognized as a commercial city, was near the Castle of Crylord.

This city had the largest commercial traffic of the entire continent, so there were many shops and headquarters of commercial groups in it, there were also some wholesale markets where everyone could go to exhibit their products, which was so large that it meant a lot of business in the city.

In addition to all that, that great city, to which point all the people related to the commercial, was able to maintain their activities 24 hours a day.

At that time, Furio was walking along one of the streets that were adjacent to the wholesale market in Naniwa City.

Furio, who usually helped with the purchase of supplies for the Variety Store Ûgo, came regularly to this city to replenish supplies for the store.

But…

The surrounding merchants, who had managed to capture the figure of Furio, began to pale.

… He-Hey, he’s here, it’s Furio, from the Ugô store.

… He is the guy who unilaterally defeated the Elder of Gurerio Shokai

… From what I heard, he also caused the Elders of Gapoli Shikai and Miss Money to run out with tears in their eyes.

… I wonder, what store will he go to today?

The merchants around him slowly left Furio’s path as they talked about the rumors that had spread around him.

「Furio-sama, over here」

One of the Women in charge of helping with the purchase of supplies for the Variety Store Ûgo (And Ex-officer of the intelligence and espionage team of the Demon Army), who was sitting on the carriage, said that while pointing to a store that was a little further ahead.

At the entrance to the store there was a large sign saying, «Fabric store • The Silk Fleece», and in front of the store was a glamorous woman, who was smoking a pipe while watching the smiley road.

Furio, being instigated by the Woman who accompanied him, approached the store.

Then, the Glamorous Woman turned her gaze towards Furio.

「Are you the one of the rumors? Furio?」

Then she said that with a slight smile on her face.

「I don’t know what you mean, but yes, I’m Furio」

After saying that, Furio bowed as he placed his right hand on his chest and with his usual smile before the Glamorous Woman.

「Today I came with the intention of buying some of the fabrics sold in this store」

「In that case, please pass… But, Furio-san-」

At that moment, the Glamorous Woman bowed slightly , then, from a position where she could easily see Furio.

「- Don’t gonna think that the Silk Fleece and this Fetabetch-sama will surrender to you」

She said that, with a smile on his face as he took Furio’s right hand.

After a while.

「Thanks for your help, I hope I can count on you again」

Furio said, as he bowed to Fetabetch.

In front of him, could be seen the figure of Fetabetch, who seemed to have become a simple pile of white ashes.

At the beginning of the negotiations.

「O~? Do you want to buy it at that price? It should be a joke~, although we would not mind lowering the price a bit~」

Fetabetchi had proudly repelled Furio’s bargaining offers, however, he continued to haggle and dribble endlessly.

Then, in the middle of the negotiations.

「Huh?… Do you say that you bought the leftovers from the sales two years ago while we sold it cheaper~?… Certainly, if you do that~ … Ah ~, no, no, no, I can not lower the price that much~ …」

Then, the flow of negotiations began to change in his favor.

Then, in the end.

「It’s okay~! That price is fine~! Ask what you want~, whatever, and I’ll bring it to you right away~」

Fetabetch had been completely dominated by Furio.

Furio had worked as the merchant of a company in his previous world, and was very proud of his bargaining skills, thanks to which many traders of this world had succumbed during their negotiations.

「Should we go back to Houtarou?」

Upon hearing the words of the woman in charge of the purchases, who had just finished loading the products, Furio raised his right hand, preparing for his departure.

「Oh, right. Can you wait a bit?」

Then, after saying that, he went to a nearby store.

Furio had begun to observe, with concern in his eyes, the brooches for women that were displayed in the store.

… Which of all will be a good souvenir for Lys? …

◆ ◇ Houtarou City · Furio House ◇ ◆

「… Alright, that’s it」

Lys let out a deep sigh when she finished drying clothes.

Lys, who is a former member of the Demon Army, was currently the wife of the Ex hero candidate summoned from another world, Furio.

The Former Demon King, Gozaru.

His First Wife, the Hell Cat and former member of the Demon Army, Uliminus.

And his Second Wife, The former knight of the castle, Barissa.

The former swordsman of the Castle, and current farmer, Brossam.

Former mage of the castle and current magic teacher of the Houtarou City, Berano.

And Barissa’s Stepbrother and noble in training, Jarren.

The Horse of Death, Slape, who was one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demonic Army.

His Wife, and former archer of the castle, Bireri.

And their daughter, Risley.

The effort required to wash the clothes of all these people was considerable high, however, Lys, who was a demon, had no problem doing so.

In the past, she was unable to perform housework properly, and she had always ruined the clothes, however, now she had become very skilled at those things.

By the way, since Hiya, the Majin that rules over light and darkness and self-proclaimed «Subordinate of Furio-sama» and Demystifier in training, Furio’s pet, Saber, and the Horned Rabbit that was kept by his side , Shibea (which seems to be pregnant), have no clothes, they were not included in the previous list.

Lys, who had finished washing all the clothes, began to look at her hands while she bit her lip.

… What… am I trying to do exactly…?

Lys was wandering in her worries for a while.

Usually, she went hunting after washing clothes while Furio went out to buy supplies for the Variety Store Ûgo.

But

The results of her last hunt were not satisfactory.

Usually, the Frantic Bears would not repurpose any danger, however, this time, they not only managed to escape, but was even able to counterattack Lys, not only that, it happened so many times that Lys was the one who was forced to escape from them.

Lys was deeply shocked at this, it was something that had never happened before.

Lys had considered consulting this with Furio, however, she did not want to cause him any problems, so in the end she just tried to think of a solution for himself.

… Even being such a useless wolf, I still want to stay with Danna-sama…

Lys could only stare disconsolately at the palm of her hand.

◇◇ In a certain building in a certain city ◇◇

「Do you intend to attack that house?」

「Yes, the family that lives there has been interfering with my plans, I would like to make them disappear」

「… Well, I really don’t care but, do you think you can prepare the magic stones you promised us?」

「I don’t plan to retire at this point. I have already prepared a plan for that.

Just make sure you prepare everything that you needs」

「I understand, there doesn’t seem to be a reason to refuse either」

After saying that, the Wicked vanished silently in the darkness.

The Dark King grinned mischievously after seeing him disappear.

◇◇ On the corner of the alley of a certain city ◇◇

「… Blo-Blond Hero-sama ~ … What do you think that is~?」

「… We-Well, I don’t understand it either」

The Blond Hero and Tsuya could not help but be stunned when they looked at the building.

The reason was the large sign that was hanging from the building, which said,

『We buy Magic Stones』

With the indications,

『A warm welcome will be given to people with blond hair』

Written on another smaller sign attached to the first one.

The Blond Hero and Tsuya could only stand, in silence, while admiring this strange panorama.
