Chapter 89: A merchant and a fox lolita

Zeno POV

“… are you alright?” (Zeno)

I called out, facing behind.

A beastkin girl with fox ears.The clothes she wear are somewhat similar to shrine maiden clothing but there are more exposures than the original one. It is a familiar costume as a republican.

She saw me and gave me an okay signal. Her small cute mouth start speaking.

“Yeah, Zeno-san … Thank you very much, I’m okay.” (Kuzuha)

“It was good that we seemed to be in time.” (Zeno)

… I wonder what’s going on in this village.

***

After we return to the commercial guild earlier than planned, we learned that Arge-san came to this village, we are in a hurry chasing her to Rencia.

When we came, the usual peaceful Rencia is looking like a monster nest, and right now she was fighting, Kuzuha.

We felt the situation was dangerous. So leaving the searching for Arge-san to Felnote-san, and I will help her (Kuzuha).

“I managed to prevent it (your breath), you really don’t like it do you” ([email protected]) (Zeno, stop talking to monter, you waste me 15 minutes to firgure this out, I think it weird that you talking to Kuzuha or Felnote with this tone)

Just a short time ago, the breath of a paralysis poison released by a basilisk demon. If we inhales that, it will stop our movement.That would be fatal. Somehow I blew it off with wind magic, but the situation is very bad.

“Gis.h.i.+~i…!” (Monter scream)

The face of the basilisk gives an annoying groaning voice. whenever something prevented its breathing, it will make a face like that because it doesn’t like that.

I have never seen this irritation in any monsters.

If you look only at the face, it is a basilisk, a lizard-type demon that lives in the desert region, but the body resembles a wolf-based demon in the forest area and its tail was smooth like an octopus with a sucker attached.

A figure that is too unbalanced, like cutting (Ctrl+X) and pasting (Ctrl+V) many different monsters.

There are countless creatures that may be called monsters, not just one or two animals.

I’ve already killed some of them, but there are still a lot of them.To be honest, I am short of hands (ways to attack).

“No matter how many I defeat, they just keep coming, … ku~ … get out of my way, I need to help Arge-san …!” (Kuzuha)

“Don’t worry, Felnote-san will do it” (Zeno)

“Ku … it’s useless, there are too many of them! Thank you for helping me but please run away already!” (Kuzuha)

Kuzuha doesn’t seems to be hurt, she must be strong to battle with this many monters but she seems tired (T.N: low magical power, low MP for short). And Also when I heard the name Arge-san, if this girl is a acquaintance of that Arge-san, there’s no way I gonna leave her alone.

“It would be dangerous for you to use anymore magical power. Leave it to me.” (Zeno)

… However, isn’t this situation bad?

Even if it says that, I don’t have any strong skills, after all I am a merchant. Un-like Felnote-san and Arge-san, I’m not strong enough to fight.

The surrounding demons temporarily retreated because they disliked the paralysis poison, but it will be a matter of time before they attack again.

“There is no other choice, I must do it now.” (Zeno)

“… What are you planning to do?” (Kuzuha)

“Uhm … I’m trying to get through like a merchant” (Zeno)

Because no matter how you look at me, I’m weak, even I said leave it to me. Of course,Kuzuha-chan will doubt me.

Even if I says to survive like a merchant, non-merchant people will not understand. All of our opponents are demons, they aren’t interested in money.

Still, I took out money from my bosom.

The coins rub against each other, and make sounds that are earful for us (merchant).

“Wait … What are you plan to do with that money, they are demons !?” (Kuzuha)

“They aren’t opponents to use, aren’t they?” (Zeno)

It is faster to do it than to explain. When we do this trick, we need large amount of coins.

Gold, silver, copper. I throwthree kinds of coins all at once into the sky.

“You are the brightness of our life. Become a glowing light. I purchase you” (Zeno)

Common world currency with the name Cyril.There are certain reasons why this currency is used in all countries.

That’s because of the highly advanced anti-counterfeiting that was put in every Cyril coin.

If you give it even a little magical power, it will blink faintly.Because of such magic, this coin is used in every country.

Just s.h.i.+ning, it is a special glow.It is a very complicated magic that light quant.i.ty and color change in a certain time, and no-one can fake this method.

In other words, It was something like Magic Artifact.

And the Cyril coin’s ability isn’t anti-counterfeit. The Cyril coin is an excellent magical reservoir that is not suitable for its small size.

And only merchant skill that can draws out the magical power put in the Cyril coins.

Naturally, the coin with which the magical power is drawn out becomes a simple metal and loses its value as an a.s.set.It is only when we are in a live or death situataion that we have to use this magic.

When Arge-san helped me last time, I didn’t have time to use this, but this time it is different.

The magic is glowing intense light in the sky around gather arround us.

Magical power from the coins is enormous, it is also difficult to control. Even so that magical power can be bought with money.

I gather the magical power pulled out from Cyril.

“Gold is the life of merchant, even so It can’t compare with human life. Therefor I will use its protect this child’s life … O The wind of turning”

And the magical power brought the destruction to all the enemies in the surroundings.

Demons that look like random cut and pasted of many demons.

The wind even detroy the scenery aroound us.

After pa.s.sing away, we are the only ones left.

“… Sign, that was my revenue.” (Zeno)

I murmured, looking at the coins that lost their magical power and fell to the ground.

I used most of the profits I gained in Sakuranomiya, but it can’t be helped.Let’s think that it is a necessary expenses. (T.N: poor Zeno, in many senses)

“Well then let’s go, Arge-san is also my acquaintance” (Zeno)

“… you, you are the one Arge-san was looking for…?”

“Yeah, apparently it seems like that”

“Someday I will return your favor” Arge-san said that to me when we broke up. (or when we last met) (T.N: I don’t know if I can use broke up here, they are not couple just travel together)

Attually, I’m fine with that, Arge-san don’t need to do anything. And then, I reached out to Kuzuha-chan.

“…That is…?”

Suddenly, there is something in the corner of my sight. As I’m looking up, I saw something like a black shadow flying away in the sky, lightly lit in the moon.

“A bird … No, a bat?”

“Zeno-san, what’s wrong?”

“Oh no, it’s nothing”

Although I concern, right now our first priority is meet up with Felnote-san and Arge-san.

I grabbed Kuzuha-chan’s hand and lead her to the carriage (Zeno plan to let Kuzuha rest first).

Translator Corner:

My bad, last time I read from google translate, I mistake Kuzuha is over power that she can perfect solo the demons army. But she only isn’t get injure yet, she already tired (run out of MP). Felnote and Kazuha is still bad-a.s.s but they don’t have cheat power like Arge, they combat with willpower and tactic.

I’m really suprised with this chapter, I thought Zeno was relly weak, turn out, he isn’t that bad. Last time I skimp though Google Translate, I misunderstand alot.
