Chapter 105: 105 the old shopkeeper and daughter of a general store

I was going down the mountain with my father Ronin and Luna Maria, but it was very strange.

...... This is the first time I've been down the mountain with Dad Ronin.

No, the gods don't let you go down the mountain easily, and I've never been down there with another father.

(But it's pretty easy to get down.)

When we left the sanctuary, I was expecting some drastic changes to occur in my father's body, like a shock wave, but it went through so easily that I was disappointed. Dad talks about it.

We gods of Table Mountain have an unwritten law not to interfere in the lower realms, but that doesn't mean we can't go down there. In fact, we used to go shopping a lot.

I'm sure you've been out shopping for rice and miso.

There you go. I didn't take you with me because it would have been too much of a fight.

By the way, continue with .

"When we leave the divine realm, our gods' abilities will be greatly reduced. We will be unable to use our divine powers.

"Does that mean you'll be as strong as a human?

"Well. But you can still kill an untrained minnow in the blink of an eye.

If I win a martial arts tournament, that means I have a chance.

"This guy is so cocky.

Dad lightly pokes me, and Lunamaria watches it with a smile, but utters a question.

†.

The fortress city of Arkham is located in the west of Midonia.

As its name suggests, the fortified city is the cornerstone of the western defense of the Kingdom of Midnia, but it has never been attacked by a western enemy in its history. The fortress surrounding Arkham was therefore useless, but still, as the face of a fortified city, it was home to the garrison of the Midonian army.

The martial arts also flourished and were known for the many schools of warfare that competed with each other. Ronin used to defeat the dojo when he was young.

In such a martial arts city, the Arkham Martial Arts Tournament was held every year (Farewell to the Family, Again).

This year, too, the best of the best are gathered from all over the kingdom.

The central streets of Arkham City were packed with people. People who appeared to be martial artists were strolling about.

Oh, great! Swords and axes, spears and bows, you name it.

It's a little too much sword.

That's right. A man's weapon is his sword.

Ronin showing off his sword.

"There are many martial artists. Some of them are bare-handed.

"It's a pervert who challenges a weapons convention with his fists. That looks really strong.

I'm getting excited," said Ronin. I'm looking for a place to stay as I feel like I'm about to join hands with the other martial artists.

I'm going to find a place to stay.

But with a boom like this, it can be hard to get a place to stay.

Lunamaría makes a common sense statement, but her impressions are spot on. Every inn was full.

All the inns on the main street are listed as full. The inn on the backstreets were either told it was impossible or charged ten times as much as it was supposed to be.

At ......, the rest of the lodgings are for the "Bring Your Own Inn".

I took a quick look, but it was full too, so I couldn't do anything about it.

By the way, I heard that in the Citadel of Arkham, innocents are thrown in jail.

The rain and dew seems to be holding off.

"I don't think they'll be able to go to a convention instead.

Indeed. But this is a trap. You're a loose end, but you don't have a place to stay.

"Yeah, I was worried when I got there, but I didn't think I'd stumble before I got there. I was worried about it when I came out, but I didn't think I'd stumble before I got there.

"I'm not ready to give up yet,

I suggest that Luna Maria .

'Let's go downtown for this kind of thing.

I guess it's the same with the inn downtown.

"The inn is, but you don't have to stay at the inn in a foolproof manner.

I see, it's all the rage now.

Yes. It's also called homestay.

"We'll be staying in a civilian home?

"Yes.

That's what I'm talking about.

"I'm used to traveling.

A bashful Lunamaría. The cult of the Mother Goddess is not a well-to-do cult. They are basically penniless when they travel asceticism and roam the world begging for alms. Basically, he asks citizens for lodging and shelter.

The world is not as bad as it used to be.

That's right. Moreover, there is a Church of the Mother of God in Arkham who stayed with us last time. It may be presumptuous of me, but I'll ask him again.

We are on our way to downtown, but there's trouble again.

The door of the tool shop where Lunamaria stayed last time has numerous "repossessed" letters on it. It seems to be in the form of a debt, so we go in and ask the girl who looks after the store.

From behind the counter, the

Welcome!

I hear a voice, but I don't see the voice. Lunamaria explains to me, looking around, "That's the grandson of the owner.

I think that's the owner's grandson. How nice of you to help her, so young!

Lunamaría walked around behind the counter, smiling. There is a girl about seven years old. The girl with braids bowed her head and said "yes" and brought a pedestal from the back and peeked out from the counter.

The girl popped out and smilingly repeated her earlier words.

Welcome, blind priestess and her companion.

Her carefree smile was the very definition of a signboard girl, and I visited her to see how she was doing now.

It's been a while, Aina.

"Yes. Ms. Luna Maria.

It's been a few months, what's changed?

The store was filled with the words "Foreclosure" and "Sold" outside the store, as well as inside the store.

...... This is that one.

Aina is reluctant to talk about the situation. She is shy about telling outsiders what's going on. You may be a businessman's daughter, but now that you know this much, you can't afford to walk away. So I asked you to tell me what happened, but the owner came from the back as he heard the words.

He doesn't hide his grumpiness as he says, "Master Luna Maria, good to see you.

"Long time no see, Master Luna Maria," he says without hiding his grumpiness.

Mr. Weitz, it's been a while. What is the meaning of this tragedy?

"...... can't say that,

Why?

"I'm a businessman, too, and I'm determined.

That's right!　I can't say that I was tricked by a crook and robbed of my store's title!

My granddaughter Aina raises her voice, but seems to be saying it naturally, not on purpose. Weitz gives her a look of a chuckle.

"Oh my God!

"I can't believe you cheated a good citizen. We have to get the Bill of Rights back at any cost.

He thought there was no longer any way to hide it. Weitz admits it.

...... I'm actually embarrassed to admit that I got into a fictitious profiteering scheme and had my property seized.

When I look at my granddaughter Aina, I put my hand on her head and said, "I was hoping to pay for her schooling. ...... grandpa," she says with moist eyes.

It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to do.

Yes. He was a poor kid who lost his parents when he was very young. Before they died, they promised him a place at the Royal Academy.

Then we have to fulfill that promise.

I would like to, but if the store's rights were to be seized, I wouldn't be able to live tomorrow, let alone at the Royal Academy.

So we can get the store's title back?

Yes, but is such a thing possible?

It is possible.

And then the door of the store is opened. There was a rogue-looking merchant and a group of hard-charging mercenaries. For all intents and purposes, they were debt collectors, but their imaginations are not far off.

The crooks let out a line that sounds like something out of a three-sentence novel.

"Hey, old man. How do you think you'll pay off the debt?

The rogue merchant watches the scene with a smirk on his face. They threaten Mr. Weitz, shouting at the top of their lungs.

"Pay your ears before today or I'll take your granddaughter.

No, please don't do that. This is my life's work.

"Then put your ears to the fire and pay your debt.

"Huh, but that debt you guys owe ......

"You think we offered you a fictitious money-making scheme?　What's your evidence. It's your fault you're out of business, isn't it?

But all the potions we stocked were rotten.

You're not in control.

The laughing crooks. They quickly snap at you and try to grab Aina's arm.

"You can't pay your debt, so give it up. You'd make a good whore if you trained at the brothel early. You could be a high-class whore at Madame Barafly's.

The villains with their vile smiles. At last my patience was exhausted.

I thrust my wooden ashlar against them and said.

"Scoundrels, get your filthy hands off me!

"What?

The ruffians turn around and look at you with a great expression. I'd like to cut them down on the spot, but these guys are no different in settling things with violence.

Gentlemen demand their bill of rights back, but they are not one to follow such a sound argument. Then I challenge you to a duel, the way they do. Fight for the store's rights, I say. But they answer with a sneer. We already own the rights to the store, I answer with a sneer. So I take the leather bag from my pocket. I take the leather bag from my pocket and place it on the table.

...... What's that?

Thugs staring at you with a puzzled stare.

It's all I have. I'll put my money on the line for that, too.

Hearing those words, the thugs looked at each other, then burst out laughing.

"Hey, did you hear that? This kid is going to fight.

"And for pennies like this,

"You can't even buy a store doorway with this.

I was filled with derision, but I was serious.

"You're afraid to lose to me, then.

"...... What the hell, kid?

"Because it's not.

"Because that's what it is. It's small change to you guys, but it's still a lot of money. If you beat me, you get everything you want.

"............

"But if you're not in the game, you must be scared.

The thugs are blushing at my provocation, their faces red as boiled shrimp. This will work, I thought, but it looks like I need another push. I'm still hesitating. But Dad Ronin and Luna Maria will help us.

Dad Ronin shouts loudly.

Hey, hey, this kid scares you. I'll take my chances. You guys are gutless. Okay, I'll give you a price.

Then father Ronin put the sword on the table.

This is Hourai's work. This is Hourai's work. I won't say a house, but we can buy a carriage.

A merchant with a keen eye on Dodanuki. Apparently even a scoundrel is a connoisseur. And as a final push, Luna Maria steps forward. Write your name in pen on the certificate you'll receive for Aina.

If you lose, Will, sell me out at the same time.

The rogues look at the merchant. The merchant's greasy eyes are on the limb of the Lunamaría. There is not a merchant in the world who does not recognize her value. And the trader, who was hired by the villain, says: "Very well.

Very well. But I want the playing field to be fair.

We were stunned, not expecting the word "fair" to escape from the villain's mouth, but we listened.

A huge debt is at stake. It's a huge debt.

I won't do that, but I won't say anything if you do it right, either.

"Then I have just the thing. It's a martial arts tournament in this city. If you enter now, you'll be in the same group for the preliminary round.

I guess it comes down to order.

Yeah. My people will be in that round.

You mean, if I win that qualifier, I win?

That's what it is.

"I'll do it.

How about that?

A merchant with a twisted mouth.

Yeah, that way you can't get any tricks up your sleeve.

"Very well. Now I'm going to enter in your name.

Thank you for doing the entry.

When he said that, the villains let out a meaningful smile and walked away.

As they leave, Aina cries and comes running over. She looks terrified. As she's comforting her sobbing, Mr. Weitz comes in.

"Goodness, what boys. A great deal of courage.

My mom told me that men have guts, women have charm, and God's children are both.

But are you sure you're okay with that kind of match?

It's wishful thinking. You can't cheat in a martial arts tournament than to fight on the spot.

That's true, but ......

Old man Weitz says with a bushy beard, but there seems to be a hint of unease. But I didn't mind and got to the point.

By the way, Mr. Weitz, I couldn't afford to be a lodger for the martial arts tournament. If you don't mind, would you mind if I stayed?

What, I didn't know that. Of course you'll stay the night. I mean, I'm not going to shamelessly let my benefactor sleep in the field.

Weitz smiles and orders his granddaughter, Aina, to bring the sheets from the warehouse.

Thus, Will and his friends have found a lodging, but there are those who are gloating behind the scenes.

They are the merchants and thugs. The thugs are calling the merchant's name.

"But Master Bask, they're idiots.

"Kukku, huh?

That's right. You don't know that we have a mercenary who was runner-up in the last Arkham Martial Arts Tournament.

Yeah, it's a stranger. I don't have any vital information.

But the sword they bet on, it was a gem.

"Women too.

"Yes. Women are especially good. They'll sell for a good price in the slave market.

Can I have a taste of it before I enslave you?

"Don't be an idiot, it's worth less.

"Chee ......

He was a scoundrel who lamented the Lord's stinginess, but Basque was ready to taste it. Because he was fascinated by the beauty of the Lunamaría.

...... shall I take you as my mistress rather than sell you as a slave?

A small leak, but to make it happen, we must first crush the kid until he's dead. We'll go to our trump card, the mercenary.

The mercenary is in the guest room in a corner of the Basque house. It was originally made for noblemen to stay there, but now it's nowhere to be seen. It had been used as a training room for the last tournament's runner-up, the mercenary Gordeau.

Gordeau, a man on a quest for strength alone. He trains with the steam coming off his body. This time, he wanted to win the martial arts competition to avenge his last victory, but this man was more of a disciplinarian. Even if he won the tournament, he would not stop training himself.

When Basque saw Goldor, he muttered, "A man like the god of war.

You're a real warrior man. I am very grateful to have this man in my employ.

They are interested in nothing more than strength, so they are willing to help you as much as they can, as long as you give them a training room. It's cheap and easy to use. They're much easier to use than those guys I was just talking to.

That poor boy. I wanted to give him justice, but I didn't know it would end like this. Kukukuuku ......

As the merchant fantasized about how to dispose of the store he had acquired, where to sell Aina and Dontanuki, and the sensual and decadent days with Luna Maria, he kept letting out a vile laugh.

Little did they know that the crooks they had just met were up to their necks in such a devious manner.

Will and his friends were gathering their wits for tomorrow's martial arts tournament qualifiers.

Weitz is excited to get a turkey from the butcher and stuff it. Aina and Luna Maria happily sang an herb song.

"Coco Coco Show!　Pippi and peppers!　Lololo Royal Rosemary!

Apparently, this is how Arkham's daughters learn to fill their turkeys with herbs and spices. I remember back in the mountains, my mother used to sing these songs while cooking. But she was very tone deaf and changed the lyrics every time. Maybe that's the secret to her bad cooking.

But fortunately, Luna Maria was a great cook and Aina was a very promising girl. The grilled turkey is very delicious.

And she cut me the fattiest and tenderest part of the turkey.

I want you to do well at the tournament tomorrow.

Aina says, but Mr. Weitz says something outrageous.

"It's true. It's just that I'm in love with you, Will.

Aina turns red in the face. Lunamaría chastises Weitz.

"Mr. Weitz, your grandchildren won't like it when you tell jokes like that.

I knew it. Will's fiancée is Master Lunamaría. My grandson is no match for him.

Now Luna Maria's face turns red.

"Wow, I'm just a squire,

Seeing this scene, Mr. Weitz happily sipped the wine on the table. It was their first reunion in a long time, and the drink was delicious.

Our evening passed in this way. Incidentally, the next morning I'll have a soup of leftover turkey bones. It's also very nutritious and I felt very energized.
