297-Hero and H&T Shokai




 
'Luna. I don't think it's a problem. Besides, from what I've seen, they seem to be hungry. I'm sure the Master would certainly reach out to a human in need if he saw one in need.

'Thank you, Mr. Sitley! ........So let's trade for bread. Which one do you want?

 Citry allowed me to exchange the bread for a brooch, so Luna followed Akari to a nearby bench and let her choose the bread she wanted there.

Can I have two of these, and this one and this one?

Of course. Yes, please.

 Luna, who was holding a small bag of bread, handed it to him with the bread that Akari had specified.

''Thank you! Now, here you go.

Yes, sir. It's so beautiful. I'll take good care of it.

 Afterwards, they talked for a bit and Akari broke up with Luna and Citry.


 Citry is a demon, and also a former Demon King.

 Since she has been strengthened by Hult, the magic power she possesses is much greater than when she was the Demon King.

 In order for her to be able to live a normal life in the grounds of the Academy, Halt had made a magical tool that suppresses her magic power and given it to Sitely.

 She herself is also able to control her magic power perfectly thanks to being strengthened by Halt.

 The fact that Sitree's magic power control was perfect and Hurt's magical tools made it impossible for anyone to know that she was a Demon King-grade magic power holder.

 Even the eyes of Tet, the god of another world, were deceived.

 Akari couldn't believe that there was a Demon King in a place like this, and her skill wasn't working either.

 The blessing of the Evil God that Sitree had received in the first place was already erased by Hurt.

 Citry is not a demon king.

 Akali came to this world to defeat the Demon King, but the Demon King to be defeated was nowhere to be found.


 ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─

This is so good!
Yeah! Delicious.

 Akari and Tet, who were very hungry, couldn't stand it anymore, and as soon as they left Luna and the others, they went into a nearby square and sat on the grass and ate the bread they exchanged for the brooch.

'I gave you the brooch but I hope you're okay, Luna-san?'

 Akari was worried that Luna would be in a lot of trouble regarding the fact that he had given her more than a world class (world class) item.

 She was too hungry and her judgment was impaired, but the bread gave her some leeway.

 Once again, he wondered if it was okay to give away an item that might be a powerful piece of equipment without any explanation.

'It's fine. It's the item Akari made. It's not something that will hurt a person.

 I'm not going to be able to say that it's a good idea. Akari was not really aware of the effects, but she made all of the ornaments of the 'protection' system, legendary class (legend class).

 It is an item that automatically activates magic to avoid danger when the owner is in danger.

 Having it can help you, but it won't hurt anyone.

 Akari was a little relieved to have Tet explain that to her.


''This bag of bread... if you look closely, it says H&T Trading Company under the name of the bakery's store.

 He and Tet had just finished the four loaves of bread that they had exchanged for the brooch when Akari realized that the H&T Trading Company had let them open a bakery.

 The H&T Company had let them open the bakery.

What do you mean?

It means there might be a lot more good stuff in the place we were about to head!

 Akari was planning to visit the H&T Chamber of Commerce for the purpose of buying the items she made.

 However, if that bakery was related to the H&T Chamber of Commerce, it wouldn't be surprising if they also dealt in other delicious food items.

''What? Are you sure about that?
Yeah!

 Akari had a certainty.

 The thought, "Maybe..." triggered in response to that.

 This was the first super intuition that Akari had used since she came to this world.


 ─ ─ ─ ─ ********──.

 Akari and Tet came to the royal capital of Glendale.

 Since she was able to use her super intuition, she was able to set up and transfer to a more finely tuned place where there were no humans, so they were able to travel by transfer from the Ifrus Magic Academy to the royal capital.

''Is it this way?''

 With the effect of Skill Master, his super intuition became more and more accurate.

 Even without Tet's guidance, Akari was able to figure out the directions to his destination (H&T Chamber of Commerce).

 By the way, Tet is asleep in Akari's arms, having eaten a full meal of bread, and is now sleeping in Akari's arms.


 After a short walk, Akali found a building with a large H&T Company logo on the sign.

''This, here!''

 There was a building there that was about ten times larger than the Aplistos production guild.

 Tet was asleep and anxious, but a delicious smell wafted from inside this building as well.

 With greater anticipation than anxiety, Akari stepped into the H&T Chamber of Commerce's book(s) store(s).


 The inside of the main store was crowded with many humans.

 Not just the human race, but various races such as elves, beastmen, dwarves, and others roamed about.

 It seems that this building has four floors, and the ground floor, where Akari is now, is lined with many retail shops selling specialty products from all over the world.

''De, it's like the basement of a department store...''

 As Akari unintentionally muttered, the place was like a so-called department store. Since the goods sold are from all over the world, you could call it a product exhibition.

 However, the items sold are not only food, but also equipment such as weapons and armor, and items such as recovery pills.

 This is actually a system that Tina came up with when she heard about the depot in the world Hurt was from, and introduced it a few years ago.

 Originally, H&T Trading Company's headquarters only had a purchasing and procurement department to collect products and manage the logistics of the world.

 However, when Tina introduced the Depa-basement system, it became the head office.

 However, Akari's intended location was not on the ground floor.

 The item purchase counter was also located on the first floor, where many adventurers and merchants had gathered, but her items would not be purchased here.

 Akari had a super gut feeling, and she knew it.
 So, she proceeded to the back of the building.

 Trading of rare items that couldn't be bought and sold on the first floor usually took place on the second floor.

 When a nobleman brings something in, etc., they also deal with it in the reception room on the second floor...


 Akari went through the second floor as well.

 Because even here, she had a feeling that her items wouldn't be bought out.

 And from here to the upper floor, only employees of the Chamber of Commerce are allowed to enter. There are guards to prevent civilians from entering.

 But while the guards took turns taking their eyes off each other for a moment, Akari went up to the third floor.

 After passing by the third floor as well, Akari went up to the fourth floor and walked down the long corridor to the front of the innermost room.

 His super intuition kicked in on its own, so he almost didn't think about it, and before he knew it, he was here.

 On the nameplate of the room in front of me, it says Chairman's Office.

''The Chairman's office...? Well, that's not the case here, is it?

 With that thought, Akari was about to turn back when the door to the room opened.


'You came all the way here and you're leaving?

 A beautiful half-elf with dark hair and dark eyes stood in the doorway, smiling.
