- Chapter 33 - Peddling
- The next day, that childish otaku greeted us with a smile when we enter the dress shop.
- "Yes, it's here. The clothes have been made. It took me all night."
- The tired dressmaker was ready to split, her eyes giving a tension-filled, red-eyed stare. She then brought Firo's clothes from the back of the shop.
- [TL note: "red-eyed gaze" is placement for "gingin" which describes a tired stare with red eyes]
- The dress's colour is mainly white. The colour blue contrasts it in some areas and decorating the middle is a large ribbon of the same hue. It can be seen as rustic and old-styled, but it's very beautiful all the same.
- Firo: "Master, I'm going to wear this?"
- [Edt: I changed “Goshujin-sama” to “Master” since “Master” is commonly used ltr.]
- Naofumi: "Yeah."
- Firo: "Yay!"
- Firo, who had worn a cloak to cover herself until now, became nude on the spot.
- Raphtalia: "Firo, no!"
- Firo: "Eh--"
- With Raphtalia urging her to stop, I guided them both to the back of the shop.
- I was waiting for you to come get dressed in here...
- Sales Clerk: "Alright, change into your demon form."
- [Weaver=Sales Clerk= Dressmaker, for standardisation, I’ll be using Sales Clerk]
- I could hear the dressmaker's voice from the depths of the store.
- Firo: "Why~?"
- Sales Clerk: "If you wear this ribbon, I'll give you meat."
- Firo: "Yay!"
- Don't just casually say something so terrifying.
- Firo: "Understood~"
- I could hear the transformation sounds.
- Sales Clerk: "Yup. As I thought you look good..."
- I could hear an enchanted voice.
- Sales Clerk?: "Alright, let's go."
- Firo: "Ok!"
- The two girls appeared from the back of the store.
- My eyes turned towards Firo.
- Alright, her figure which was already angel-like is even more stunning.
- Pure white wings, matching the white one piece... And a blue ribbon on her chest. What was it?
- Right, she looks like an angel heroine from the 2-D world.
- Firo: "Master~?"
- Naofumi: "Hm?"
- Firo: "Well? Does it suit me?"
- Naofumi: "Yea, it suits you."
- This otaku dressmaker is able to take full advantage of Firo's specs and make suitable clothing for her. Her talent is quite outstanding.
- Firo: "Ehehe"
- An embarrass Firo laughs while her clothes flutter.
- Seriously, what a terrible expenditure.
- I let Firo pull the cart while we head back to Forest village.
- When Firo changes to her demon form, the clothes dispensary and the ribbon turns into a collar.
- [Do you mean “disperse” when you used “dispensary”? I googled the meaning, so it doesn’t seems to fit in there.]
- That function is very convenient.
- Magic Shop SK: "Oh, it’s Hero of the Shield-sama"
- Before we leave the castle town, we coincidentally meet with the aunty from the magic shop.
- Magic Shop SK: "Are you heading to Forest village?
- Naofumi: "Yeah"
- Magic Shop SK: "I happen to have some business there too. May I tag along?"
- The aunty from the magic shop asked with a smile.
- Oh well, I don't really want to decline her since she has helped us out with various things.
- Naofumi: "I don't guarantee it being comfortable, is that fine?"
- Magic Shop SK: "Yeah"
- Raphtalia looks ahead and already starts fighting against motion sickness.
- Magic Shop SK: "Well then, let's get going."
- The magic shop aunty gets on the cart.
- Naofumi: "Good, Firo. Don't go too fast."
- Firo: "Okay~"
- The pedestrians who pass by look at Firo with surprise. Talking demons are probably rare.
- The cart rolls along with a pitter-patter.
- I feel that in these past few days, I have been really busy.
- Actually, I'm usually busy, it's just that recently have been especially busy.
- The whole situation could be summed up with Firo...
- Magic Shop SK: "So, how's your study of magic going?"
- Naofumi: "Uh..."
- The magic shop aunty attacks where it hurts.
- To be frank, I made no progress at all.
- Should I retort with a "you should have given me a crystal ball"? No, she helped procure the threads to make Firo's clothes at a discount, I can't complain.
- Naofumi: "Because I am from another world, I can't read these letters."
- Magic Shop SK: "Oh... I'm sorry."
- I felt bad to seeing her apologise. I lament at my insufficient studying.
- I was defeated.
- I repaid a good intention with bad feelings.
- Therefore, I want to repay aunty for the help.
- I must learn it as fast as possible.
- I don't have any support, unlike the other fucking heroes. That's why I have to do my best to learn.
- Also, I need to acquire better equipments to survive the next wave.
- Let's not forget about translating the medical recipes either.
- Though it would take a lot of time, I decided to learn the letters first.
- Firo: "Fuaa... it's light"
- Firo was yawning while pulling the cart steadily.
- You're calling a cart with 3 people light?
- That's great. I already have a certain plan. This can't be done without Firo.
- The aunty from the magic shop gives me 25 coppers when we arrive at Forest Village.
- Naofumi: "What's this for?"
- Magic Shop SK: "Transportation fee"
- Naofumi: "Oh I see."
- I can use this.
- Forest village is reviving nicely. A storekeeper welcomes us pleasantly.
- I have already apologised for the chimera meat.
- Although keeping that meat there was my idea in the first place.
- Naofumi: "Now then, Raphtalia, let's go on some motion sickness training."
- I promised to help with the reconstruction to compensate for the meat. Although it's only a little I still get some compensation.
- Raphtalia: "Eh!?"
- Raphtalia has a bitter face. Oh dear, it's not good if you can't overcome something like this.
- Naofumi:"From now on, our transportation is Firo pulling the cart, so you must get used to it."
- Raphtalia: "O-Okay"
- Firo: "Okay~!"
- Naofumi: "Firo, you’re pulling."
- Firo: "Yup!"
- Philorials really like pulling carts. Firo's eye shines.
- Raphtalia: "Uhm......Are you thinking of something?"
- Naofumi: "Yeah, I think we should start peddling."
- Raphtalia: "Peddling? Why?"
- Naofumi: "Although we don't have a lot of goods, I want to stock up on an assortment of medicine."
- Raphtalia: "Sigh......"
- Raphtalia doesn't seem to see the appeal. Oh dear, do I have too high expectations? However, to have such a precious cart, it's a waste not to make full use of it.
- Naofumi: "Though when you get used to the motion sickness, Firo can pull the cart everywhere at maximum speed."
- Raphtalia: "I understand the reason..."
- Naofumi: "I know a place that would make it hard to get drunk. You should get accustomed there."
- Raphtalia: "Is there really such a place?"
- Naofumi: "Yeah"
- Before starting the today, we head to the place where it is hard to get drunk. I told Raphtalia to get on Firo.
- (Tl note: I have no fucking idea with the drunk. 俺はラフタリアを酔いにくい場所 help.)
- Firo: "I'm fine with master, but why is Onee-chan on my back?"
- Firo muttered as Raphtalia gets on her back.
- Raphtalia: "It's the same for me. This is embarrassing."
- It's a strange sight to see Raphtalia in a semi-crouching position on top of Firo's owl shaped body.
- Naofumi: "Is it hard?"
- Firo: "Nope, this is easy."
- Firo seems to have no problems at all.
- Naofumi: "Well then, let's go."
- Firo: "Ok!"
- Firo pulls the cart with Raphtalia on her back.
- Her weight shouldn't be too heavy.
- I began decoding the book of Intermediate recipes while learning the letters.
- Rumble...
- Rumble......
- It is difficult to concentrate with the sound of a wheel as background music.
- Raphtalia: "Uhmm..."
- Rumble………
- Raphtalia: "Uh-Uhmm…"
- Hm?
- I looked at Firo and see her in human form piggybacking Raphtalia. Raphtalia seems troubled and tried to get my attention while the passers-by whisper and point at us.
- Naofumi: "A strange rumour is going to circulate!"
- My reputation is going to drop again because there is going to be a rumour that I forced a slave girl to do manual labour by pulling a cart and carrying another person.
- Naofumi?: "Well..."
- Naofumi: "When you pull a cart, do not turn into a humanoid."
- Firo: "Okay"
- Firo nods and seemingly dissatisfied returns to her demon form.
- I'm getting bored. Raphtalia doesn't seem to have motion sickness yet.
- It will probably be okay if we go faster.
- Naofumi: "Alright, Speed up!"
- Firo: "Okay~!"
- Firo nods energetically and begins running.
- GaraGaraGara!
- The wheels on the cart turn noisily.
- Raphtalia: "Wa!"
- Raphtalia was surprised and clings to Firo.
- At least, we will arrive at our destination today.
