Three days had passed since the Horned Dragon was defeated.
　Our work is now completely done.
　The report of the request's accomplishment is completed on the spot, and our adventurer's request is complete.

　Those of you who are planning to play in the city from now on.
　Those who are looking for the next request to join the Adventurer's Guild immediately.
　Those who go only to the people they have become close to?

　.........Well, that was after each party had taken down the tents they were using.

'Good work, Lelius.'

　It was Mea who approached me.
　It had been a long time since I'd worked with her. I felt nostalgic, but at the same time, I could tell she was getting stronger and I had to do my best.

It's good work, Mea-san. What are you going to do now, Mea-san?
Oh, I'm going to meet up with the party we're working on. I'm going to meet up with the party we're working on.
''That's right. As I recall, we were temporarily separated because you said you had an item you wanted at the auction?
That's right. I'm going to meet up with the others here. What about you, Lelius?　He heading back into town now?
No, I have some business to attend to. I think I'll stick around for a while.

　I think of Miss Feela.
　Yesterday, we had been talking for a while since then, and we were going to see a play together.
　For what it's worth, as a nobleman, he has a few extra tickets left over.

　I was also curious about Ristina's play, so I decided to go and see it.
　I was half looking forward to it and half anxious.

　The other person I was going to see was the daughter of a countess, if you will.
　If something goes wrong, you don't know what will happen afterwards.

　Especially since it seems that Miss Feara's father is a "noisy person".
　It's a good thing that you've got a good idea of what you're talking about, because you might give me the wrong impression too.

　The only thing I can do is try my best to be as lax as possible.

''I see. Will Lelius continue to be an adventurer?
''Yes, that's my intention.''
Yeah. Well, I hope to see you again at some other time.
Well..........

　I'm able to fight without a divine weapon, too.
　I don't know when that limit will be reached, but until that limit is reached, I want to do my best to be an adventurer.
　The removal of the tent is finished.

''Well then, I'll see you another time.
Yes, sir.

　We made it back to the city, and me and Mea parted ways to head to our respective destinations there.

　We walked around the city for a while and headed to Mr. Krua's place.
　Mr. Krua was selling his wares on the back of his carriage again today.

　Ever since she came here, she's been doing that almost every day without a break. What she was selling right now was potions, and combined with her appearance, there was a line of adventurers lined up.

　Lately, the potions had been soaring as a countermeasure against the demons outside.
　Since Krua-san's shop is cheaper than other shops, adventurers often come to buy them.

''Krua-san, let me help you.
'Oh, oh, it's okay, Mr. Relius!

　I'm almost done with the potions on the table.
　Since arriving here, I've been helping Krua-san with his work in my spare time for the most part.
　At first, Krua-san was unsure of what to do, but soon they worked together.

　Counting the number of potions left and the adventurers in line, and organizing the line to the adventurers available for purchase.
　That's about all I have to do.
　The adventurers who couldn't buy were complaining, but I have to apologize for that.

　I could have increased my inventory, but selling too many potions would have been suspicious.
　That's why I had set a rule of only selling a certain number of potions every day.

　Krua-san has been selling the rest while doing a good job of deceiving me.
　When the sun had just set, the potions were sold out.
　........Although Krua-san's potions are also about twice as expensive as those in other cities, everyone is still buying them.

　However, that will probably end around today or tomorrow.
　After that, the prices should settle down and things should return to their normal routine.

''Thank you, Mr. Relius,''
'No, I'm used to doing this much. The adventurer's job is done for today. Mr. Krua, you're going to stay on until tomorrow, right?
That's right. You can still sell your potions at a high price until tomorrow. We need to make money while we can.
Okay. And I'll restock the back of the truck.
Yes, please.

　Krua-san is also packing up his stuff to close up the store.

Speaking of which, does Krua-san keep your money in the item box?
'Yes, I do. When you become a merchant, you can often get a loan from your master.

　I've heard that 80% of the item boxes in the world are owned by merchants, not adventurers.
　Krua-san also says that he manages all of his money there.

''Relius-san, you're going to see the play tomorrow with the Arsus family, right?
'Yes,'

　He spoke briefly to Mr. Krua about his relationship with the Arsus family.

''Well I'm a bit jealous.
What, the play?
Yes..... for whatever it's worth, it's a love story about two people of different status... and it's supposed to be a sad love story. ........I'd like to see how it ends.

　Surprising. I didn't think Mr. Krua was very interested in such things.
　I thought he was more of a pragmatic and serious child.
　Krua-san's eyes had been frowning, and then he looked at me with a start.

　He shook his head, and his cheeks were slightly tinted.

I'm sorry. I just talked too much.
'No I didn't have much information about the play either, so that's helpful. Come to think of it, there still seems to be a few extra seats left, so shall I ask the Arsus family if they can watch it with us?

　As I recall, Fira-san had said something like that.

''Well, I can't ask you to do something so rude!　........Besides, you'll be able to make money until tomorrow.
...I see.
So, have fun. And let me know what you think later.
...Yes. Okay.

　Plays.
　I haven't really been a fan of that sort of thing.
　I hear they tend to be more for the ladies, but do you think I'd enjoy it?

　But it's not something I get to watch on a regular basis.
　Tomorrow, I'll enjoy watching them for Krua-san.
