1679 Episode 1679



"... cheap, isn't it said.

 Bistol mutters, eating grilled fish on a skewer with salt.
 The reason she seems a little dissatisfied is probably because Marina told me the price of selling pirates as slaves was lower than I expected.
 However, Marina doesn't seem particularly concerned about Bistol, and she bends her head slightly, asking, "Is that so?"
 Marina's figure was so seductive that a man could surely have caught his eye in the light of a bonfire, but... her body was a man, her heart was a woman... no, it didn't do her any good.

"Of course, I know it's cheaper than Gillum because it's in the countryside. But... everything is too cheap!"
"But do you know slave traders are notorious high-ranking adventurers when they deal with Ray? But do you think they'll look down on you?"
"That's..."
"And when I negotiated, there was a security guard. Do you think you can cheat there?"

 Bistol has no counterargument to the words he went on to say.
 I wish I had gone with them, but I could not give up on them because they had followed me to catch as many fish as possible.

"Galanca seems to be quite rural, and that's probably part of the price. And Ray doesn't care, does he?"

 Ray nods that it's only natural.

"Marina negotiated the price. I don't mean to complain about it."
"Is it really good?"

 Bistol, a merchant, has the perception that he has been beaten up at a very low price...
 But by Ray's simple admission, which would not normally be tolerated, Bistol even remembered that he had been discouraged.

"Oh, that's all right. In the first place, the pirate case has only a great profit, not to mention the sale of the pirates as slaves."

 When Ray said so, Bistol looked a little... rather dumbfounded.
 Bistol's perception was that it was impossible for him to make money where he could.
 But for Ray, he was able to take away all the treasure he had hidden -- only to confess it -- and he was able to obtain a large number of disposable magic items that the pirate's head had that produced a smoke screen.

(And... it's great that you got the ship.)

 a fairly old ship with traces of repeated repairs
 However, in terms of studying ships in a place where the sea is not nearby, the ships we got this time were sufficient because it seemed safe to destroy them with old ships.
 If the pirates were using a new ship, it would be too new to touch carelessly.
 In that sense, it was undoubtedly a great blessing to be able to get an old ship.

"Ah... you're really good-natured,"

 Maybe it's because Ray doesn't know exactly how much money he's getting. Bistol shakes his head, saying that it is meaningless to say anything more, and starts eating grilled fish again.

"And then, Ray," What are you going to do tomorrow?"

 Elena asks Ray if she has decided that the conversation with Bistol is over.
 But when asked, Ray asks back in wonder.

"What are you going to do? I'm going to catch fish. Is there anything else?"
"Well, I thought you were going back to that village."
"I think I'll be there once in the evening." I'm going to buy fish and stuff like that."

 We bought fish from the villagers who came back from fishing today, but the amount is not that high.
 It's only natural for the village to be worried about how to deal with pirates.
 Then Ray came and beat the pirates within a few hours of the day, and after seeing them he set out for fishing, hoping that they would be safe.
 They only fish for two hours, and the amount of fish they catch is not that large.
 But tomorrow I'll be fishing all day from the morning, and I'll get Ray to buy me the fish I catch.
 ...this was a good deal for the villagers of Galanca and for Ray, who now wants as much fish as possible.
 However, without the time-lapse mistiling, no matter how hard you buy fish, you would have just rotted it.

"Well, I see," So tomorrow we don't have to go there?"
"If you don't have anything else to attend to, I think that's all right." and I'll be back as soon as I get the fish."

 After a conversation, we finish our meal... and then we have free time until we go to bed.
 Ray has a light combat drill with Vihela, Bistol begins cooking to dry the fish he catches today, Bune goes to the woods to gather fruit instead of dessert, Marina uses spirit magic to guard the surroundings, and Seto and Yero play together.
 Meanwhile, Elena, speaking to Arra using a pair of oaves, suddenly calls out to Ray.

"Ray, would you like me to come for a minute?"

 At the words, Ray leaps backward to avoid a blow from Vihela's fist and drops the spear of Desize and twilight.
 Seeing Ray, Viehla doesn't follow him, and the mock battle -- objectively, it looks like a real battle -- ends.

"Wait, Elena," What's going on all of a sudden? It hasn't been long since we started fighting?"

 Vichela complained, but in reality it had already been nearly ten minutes since the mock war began.
 Under normal circumstances, if you continue the full-scale exercise called mock warfare for nearly enough time, you could die out.
 The fatigue would have been even greater, especially if the mock war opponents were Ray and Vihela, who had substandard strengths.
 But... Ray and Vihela didn't seem to be out of breath at all.
 That was enough physical space to be said to have started a mock battle a few seconds ago.
 That's why Vihela was so frustrated when she was stopped in the middle of a mock war.
 Appetite, sleep-hungry, s*x-hungry...and for Vihela, who has something else to call combat-hungry, a mock battle with Ray is also a supreme pleasure.
 After all, it's a mock battle, and you can't really... enjoy the real pleasure of the heart, unless it's a life-threatening battle.
 Still, the battle with Ray has given Vihela overwhelming pleasure rather than risking her life with the small fish around her.
 That's why they protested against Elena, who suddenly blocked it.
 Elena is such a Vihela personality... or, in this case, a propensity. Anyway, knowing it, I bow apologetically.

"I'm sorry, but it's a call from Dusker."
"...yes,"

 Vichela was unhappy, but if she was told that it was a call from Dusker, she could not complain any more.
 We can't help it, regretting it, but the mock battle is paused and demeanored.
 Only the moonlight and the light of the bonfire reflected such a figure, but the combination of Vihela's attire as a prostitute and dancer made it quite a fantastic sight.
 Ray was a little taken by the sight, but soon turned to Elena, remembering that Dusker was calling her.

"And? Wasn't Elena talking to Arra?"
"Yes, but the subject of piracy was mentioned in the conversation." When Arla heard that, she suddenly called for Dusker to wait a little while... and Dusker asked him to put out a lay."
"...about the ship?"

 I thought you might want me to sell you the ship I got, but Ray thought you didn't have to rush that far because you originally intended it.
 And when I sat down in front of the pair of oves, there was, as Elena said, a figure of Dusker.

'Sorry, Ray. Call me out of the blue.'
"No, I don't mind that," But what's the matter with you, though, if it's a pirate's boat, we'll get it right here."
'No, that's not the case. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . but I called Ray this time because I wanted to hear about the pirates you had caught.""Pirate?"

 Completely unexpected remarks make Ray tilt his head.
 Dusker nods honestly at Ray's appearance.

'Yes, I have heard from Lord Elena that the captives, though pirate, do not commit atrocities... yes, for instance, forcefully take women?'
"Yes, that's for sure," At least there were no women captured by the hideout."

 Perhaps it was not impossible to hide a woman somewhere else, but the pirates Ray had come into contact with... and given the character of the man leading the pirates, it did not seem that he would do it.

(What? I'm sure there was a sweet guy like that because he's just taken over the position of head. It was obvious that I didn't hate women, for I had been fascinated by Vihela.)

 Vihela, who came after being caught by Seto on her way to Galanca by boat.
 a woman of rare beauty in history and light clothing that directly affects a man's s*xual desire.
 The man who saw it fell in love with the sight of a death-size blade stuck to his neck, which would have been a little out of Ray's reach... if this man had moved poorly, he would have had his head cut off easily.
 ...should I praise the man's guts for his fascination with Vichela at the risk of his life, or should I admire the beauty of Vichela, who, despite the danger of his life, took the man's gaze away?
 At any rate, it was very unlikely that a man was interested in women.

'Then it's just right. It goes without saying that it's Ray's suggestion, but when the extension work is over... No, why don't we just put it to rest? to make facilities for research and manufacture of surface ships"

 That's the topic of conversation.
 As Dusker put it, it was Ray who suggested about the surface ships.

"...is that what you mean by taking those pirates in for sailors' practice?"
'Yes, of course an ordinary sailor could teach. But the enslaved collar fits perfectly into a teacher' I can't lie or harm you.'
"No, but... you know? You're a former pirate, even though you didn't do anything wrong, and I think there'll be a lot of differences between floating and surface ships."
'I know that. But ground and ordinary ships are, after all, the same ships. I'm not saying it's exactly the same, but there must be many similarities.'

 Ray agrees with Dasker's words.
 There are no rivers or seas nearby in Gilm.
 Is it correct to say that there are rivers that flow through mountains, but there are no rivers that can be called large rivers that can be moved by boat?
 Some adventurers gathering in Gilm will have knowledge of ships.
 But Gilm doesn't know that way.
 Or, if any, they are very clumsyllable.
 In that sense, Ray was convinced that pirates who could not defy or defy as slaves would be instructors in navigating ships.

(Well, as long as there are no oceans or rivers, I wouldn't be able to act as if I were actually moving a ship. Or maybe I should go somewhere in the ocean and practice? ...that's something I should think about.)

 After all, Ray can't decide what to do with Gillum's management.
 All you can do is give your opinion to Dusker, and it's only Dusker who actually decides it.

"All right. Then shall I tell the slave dealer to send the slave to Gilm?"
'Yes, I'll pay the amount here. Tell me that you pay more than average for slaves.'

 That's what we're talking about, and then we're talking about today's guillem.
 Fall is approaching, and Dasker is pleased that the heat like summer is gone and that efficiency has increased, and Ray is also pleased with it.

(Do you need to go to the Souras on their way to Gilmoo?)

 That's how the late summer night passed.
