Chapter 85 – The Wind in Yoshanka was Cold Even During the Day
Whooosh…
Greetings from the barren lands outside of Yoshanka, where the sea breeze blows as usual. Emmy here.
«Emmy, good morning. I’m glad we were able to sleep well.»
I was in a hole that I dug at the base of a shrub that grows on this barren land.
It was my sleeping place that I made last night.
The hard leaves that grow densely without any gaps block the wind well. I don’t know what will happen if it rains, but it’s pretty comfortable and easy to spend.
Crawled out of the bushes, I stretched my body.
The weather was the same as usual, cloudy.
The wind was cold.
And of course, there was the smell of salt in the air that I’m still not used to.
«Now… what will you do, Emmy?»
…What should I do, Omake-sama?
Yesterday, I attempted the “task” to become an adventurer.
Even though I was able to complete it successfully, the receptionist accused me of stealing the herbs and didn’t listen to me at all.
«I didn’t expect you to be treated so rudely to this extent there»
Right~…….
To become an adventurer, I have to do more than just pick Saiishu grass… I have to prove that I really picked those grass myself.
«…Emmy, I hate to say this after I motivated you yesterday… but you haven’t given up yet?»
…….
Yeah, well…!
I can’t just give up right after I declared “I’ll overcome the unreasonable!” yesterday!
So what if they ignored me once?
That’s right, I’m still just being treated rudely once.
I’m not going to live a life of giving up on something like this!
«Then, what will you do?»
It’s simple, Omake-sama.
As a result of me picking herbs by myself, she suspected that those grass were stolen.
So, I just have to not go alone.
I have to find someone who will accompany me on my herb gathering and prove that I really picked Saiishu grass!
«I see. But will that work?»
…I don’t know!
I don’t know, but nothing will start unless I try something, right?
For now, let’s go to the adventurer’s guild branch again!
I ran towards the town of Yoshanka.
It was too much trouble to go around to the main gate, so I climbed over the outer wall using [Silverfish].
◇ ◇ ◇
… One hour later!
On a stone bench in a park in the center of Yoshanka!
There I was… holding my head and hanging my head!
«…It didn’t, go well, huh…»
Yeah…
Children with black hair and black eyes was a cursed child.
That was the common sense of this world.
I wrapped my hair in cloth again today, but it seems that the rumor that I was a cursed child had spread all over by yesterday.
No adventurer would nod their head when asked by such a cursed child to ‘Accompany me to pick herbs in the demon’s domain’.
They all shunned me and didn’t even want to talk to me in the first place.
Some older man even pulled out their weapons and threatened me.
But they just fell back, surprised, when I used a bit of [Intimidation].
They got frightened just because of a little girl’s [Intimidation], even I was worried if they could handle rough work as adventurers.
*sizzle….* *sizzle….*
In front of me was a stall that was grilling a skewer of something like a big chicken.
It was normal for people in Yoshanka to buy and eat breakfast outside, and there were some stalls like this scattered around the town.
Growl~…
I’m hungry.
Come to think of it, I haven’t eaten anything since I woke up today.
«Emmy, Emmy! Why don’t we eat something delicious and change our mood!?»
Omake-sama suggested cheerfully.
… Yeah.
Yeah, that’s right! Omake-sama!
Something delicious! Not some raw meats, but a cooked, delicious food!
Fortunately, I have 150,000 Eens in my hand that I earned as a maid apprentice at the baron’s house.
I can afford to buy some skewers!
Oh, Een is the currency.
The fact that it sounds similar to ‘yen’ must be a coincidence.
I walk towards the stall.
By the way, Yoshanka’s stalls always faced away from the sea and covered in the backs with sturdy wooden planks.
This way, they block the sea breeze.
It was really a ‘by the way talk’.
As I get closer, the good smell floats over.
The smell of meaty fat.
The smell of charcoal…
Gr-gr-groowl…..
Ah… I can’t stand it anymore!
Old man! Give me ten skewers!
“!? You bastard, with that outfit, are you the cursed child who came to town yesterday!? Don’t come near my stall!!”
…The white-haired old man who was grilling skewers threw hot coals at me.
Of course, I dodged all of them in a flash.
“Um, I want, skewers…”
“Get out of here! You’re ruining my business! Hurry up! Go away!”
“…….…”
He threw coals at me, one after another.
With side jumps, I dodged all of them gracefully.
Because of that, my body warmed up, so I showed him a service (?) of repeated side jumps.
Shushushushu! Shushushushu!
Look at this speed!
Compared to when I was in that garbage village, this speed is not a match!
You could also see afterimages!
“Wha-what the hell are you, you bastard….! Just by coming near me, the other customers run away from me….! Give me a break….! Go away….!”
……………….
The old man at the stall started to cry.
…Um… that…
I’m sorry…
What is this?
What is this?
Is it my fault….?
While I didn’t feel satisfied, I also felt sorry for him when he cried….
I turned my back on the stall and started walking.
…For now, let’s go to Kaise Forest.
Let’s eat some raw snakes or what.
With my bare feet, I walked on the cold stone pavement.
Cold.
The wind in Yoshanka was cold even during the day.
“…….Oii!”
At that moment, someone called out to me from behind.
A young, boyish voice.
When I turned around, there was a silver-haired boy adventurer, Kamasse.
…Kamasse had a skewer of chicken in each hand and looked at me.
