Someday Will I Be The Greatest Alchemist?

Chapter 265: A Day Trip

Chapter 265: A Day Trip

There was a group of people of various races looking at the street with sparkling eyes.

?Takumi-sama, there’s a lot of people!?

?Iruma-sama, please teach us how to use this “money”!?

?Iruma-dono, let us go to that stall!?

Today, we took a break from leveling and visited Accuros. Not only Berkut, but even the Aligerous people were in high spirits at the lively atmosphere in the port city. It was only at this time that even Bart-kun looked delighted as he observed the city.

?Don’t get lost! We’ve taught you the denominations of money! Don’t waste it!?

?Hey! You there! Watch where you walk!?

?You can buy from the stalls, but don’t bump into people holding food, okay!??

When Sophia, Maria, and I spoke up, it felt like we were childcare workers leading children on a preschool trip.

Since everyone looked worn out leveling while on the lookout for the remnants of the old Sydnia, we let them out into the city as a change of pace.

We’ve stocked up on a lot of meat and materials from defeated monsters too, so I want to sell it wholesale.

?Accuros is the only possible choice among the cities in the Demon Continent, isn’t it??

?Indeed. Varguard governed by Intelligent King Guzhr, Rhodes governed by the Devil King Gandalf would be fine as well, but this place has the most numerous races residing within it, and so having grown wings would not stand out.?

While keeping an eye out for everyone so they don’t wander, we also enjoyed the atmosphere of the town.

Akane, Lulu-chan, Marnie, and Laeva were entrusted with the sale of the goods. Given how the Adventurers Guild doesn’t exist in the Demon Continent, there are butchers for meat and specialty distributors for other materials, so it’s absolutely necessary to sell it to them.

?It’s amazing, Takumi-sama. There really are so many races. We have not seen anything but our tribe for a long time.?

Valkan-san, who was unable to escape the solitary island and slowly declined as well as acts as the leader of the Aligerous Tribe where Berkut was born and raised, couldn’t help but find the city of Accuros which had the most variety in races living within it enjoyable.

?Even the continent we live in has countries where multiple races live, so it isn’t just here.?

?The outside world is not all like this??

?In the continent in the north, the citizens of the Elven country are practically all Elves, the Dwarven country is also mostly dwarves. As for the Human countries, there are those that live with other races, and there are those that don’t. Still, this many races living in one city is probably only here.?

?Heee, so that is how it is.?

I’m not sure if it’s because Accuros had the sole connecting port with the northern continent or if it’s because Queen Fraal was ruling, but this city has Succubi, Devils, Onis, Humans, Dwarves, Beastkin and various races living within it. It was inevitable that there’s no Elves. As they were an insular race by nature, those living outside Yggurle Kingdom as adventurers were recognized as eccentrics in the northern continent.

?But this town was properly planned and constructed, huh??

?Yes, the size of the streets and the division of the town were well thought out.?

?A port city should be jumble of things, right??

It felt like Sophia, Maria, and I were having a date for the first time in a while.

In this land dominated by monsters, a small town that grew into a large city had to construct a new outer wall with every expansion, so there were several walls blocking the cities, but Accuros seemed to have assumed this form from the start, so its townscape was orderly. I think that there were cities in the old Europe on Earth that followed the process of expanding the town with walls.

?Ah, Akane-san and Lulu-chan are already waiting.?

?It’d be scary to make them wait, so let’s hurry.?

We had planned to meet Akane and Lulu-chan who were tasked with the sale of monster meat and materials at a predetermined spot.

?Hey, you’re way too late, Takumi.?

?Sorry, sorry. Did we make you wait a lot??

?We just arrived nya.?

?H-hold on, Lulu!?

Although Akane complained as soon as she saw me, Lulu-chan was an honest child who didn’t lie.

?Really, Lulu……… Ah, Marnie and Laeva also arrived.?

Akane’s change of topic was easy to see.

?Have we kept you waiting, Master (Husband)??

?Takumi-sama, we negotiated the prices with all our might.?

?No, we also just got here. And good job.?

Since we’ve also met up with Marnie and Laeva, everyone noisily checked out various stores and places.

The money from selling the monster meat and materials was distributed to the Aligerous Tribe, and after they were told to buy what they want, it was difficult to keep them from going astray. The entire village of the Aligerous Tribe was self-sufficient and had bartered, so it was inevitable that they had fun with shopping and it might not be possible to lead them anymore than this.

We promised to take them out again on the next break, and so, the preschool trip-like excursion ended.
