The next day, me and Hulka were strolling around the city of Sarstadt.

Yuki and Natsuki are the last jobs, and Toya remains in the inn bodyguardically of it.

He has always had strong numbness in his body surgery, but when he quits, he doesn't necessarily think about strange things. It is the insurance of it.

Toya, who has solidified herself into a solid piece of gear, looks pretty strong, so it will be to the extent of deterrence.

"Hulka, is there a purpose? As far as the moons tell, it's like a city with no big deal, huh?

Basically, it's a port town for waiting for the wind, so there are parts I can't help, but the meal was also unpleasant, and honestly, I don't find it attractive at this stage.

Possibilities include a delicious dining room or lodging, but yesterday's culinary impact was too strong.

Even if that falls below average, there are only those who come to eat that dish.

Considering that I have a billboard daughter, I just don't think the food around me is very different.

"River fish, not as a dish, but as an ingredient, don't you think?

"Oh, I see."

"Yo," More "doesn't make sense, either, because fish mudcuts have to be alive."

"You can't."

That muddy smell wasn't a level that you could handle with cooking methods.

"Maybe you can come fishing if you can afford it. If it's upstream, the water could be beautiful."

"That's good! Fishing, I've never done it, me."

You don't get to fish out of town, do you, even if you have something you admire?

Fishing is prohibited in places where sea-fishing is likely to take place, and fishing in ponds or something, I wonder if, given the fact that it's an alien organism.

I mean, even the pond is trespassing, right? Unless it's also a hoarded pond owned by me.

Illegal dumping if you fish there, if you pick up embezzled, if you release or discharge.

If I want to fish legally clean, I feel like there's only enough way to get to the fishing grounds I do as a business.

"If those months would join us, we might be able to afford some more. For future pleasure, today's purpose is to find a bookstore."

"Book...... Oh, could it be the Alchemy Dictionary? He was a raffan and sold out."

"Yes. Alchemy, I just took it, but I haven't been able to get my hands on it at all. You want to make a magic bag?

"Of course. I'm practicing too, but space-time magic hasn't gotten any better yet."

"Sounds difficult. You have to keep trying."

Walking down Sallstadt's boulevard with such a story, I found the bookstore for my purpose light.

Facing the boulevard, a store even smaller than Lafan's.

Given the size of the city, this would probably be the only bookstore.

Once inside, the structure of the store is the same as that of Lafan, with bookshelves lined up across the counter, which cannot be taken by the guests themselves.

The same goes for the wagon sale, which is loaded with worn books.

A classic bookstore in this world...... I wonder what.

However, this one is 1,800 rare per book, so it's a little cheap.

Even a damaged book that would normally be disposed of is expensive in itself, so I'll just try to sell it. I guess that's how it is.

"Do you have an alchemy dictionary?

"It's a little old, but there's an 18th edition, right?

When Hulka spoke to the uncle at the counter, he returned the same without looking into it.

Instead of grasping inventory, I didn't know you even remembered the number of versions...... wow.

"What's the latest version now?

"That's the 20th edition. I need you to check the items. Well, that doesn't make a big difference, does it?

"Yes, hey...... Speaking of which, wouldn't an alchemist buy the latest version back?

"You don't buy it. For once, the supplementary edition is out, but it doesn't matter to most of the operators, so we've never arrived."

Reflecting the results of research since the previous edition, a new edition and supplementary edition will be published in Very Shi, but if you consider an alchemist as a business, you can do enough with the items in previous books.

There is little benefit in offering extra money to buy the latest edition or supplementary edition.

Inevitably, it doesn't even flow as an old book.

That is the case.

"How much for the 18th edition?

"It's a little old, how about 20,000 rare?

"That's a little expensive. Two previous versions, right? Wouldn't it be a little cheaper?

"I don't care... I sure don't have many people to buy in this city..."

I'll take a look at the wagon sale book as I watch Hulka negotiate prices at the edge of my sight.

With this kind of thing, you want to see it stick.

Basically, I know there's nothing very good about it because it's oversold, but what makes you think, 'I wonder if there's a dig out'?

But for an old book here, it's also possible that the pages aren't aligned.

... If it's a reasoning novel or just missing the last part of the resolution, it sucks.

Fortunately, or whatever, entertainment novels themselves seem almost nil, but buying them is also risky given the possibility that there are no important parts of academic books either.

Unlike modern books that are printed in bulk, you can't even look for the same book so easily.

- Oh? There's kind of a beautiful mix of three books in a worn out book.

There's nothing on the cover or back cover... you don't say anything.

This is not so surprising, as many books in this world, exteriors, have not written anything about whether they are separated from decoration or protection.

Try opening the cover... what? "Spacetime Magic Elementary," "Intermediate," "Advanced"!?

... All right, calm down.

You didn't see it wrong, did you?

Yeah. Definitely.

This is 1,800 rar a book?

Seriously?

But don't rush here.

Let's check the facts first.

I missed asking how much I had reached a compromise, but I lift that book up and speak up to the clerk who is giving the book in exchange for money against Hulka.

"Hey, clerk. This book is beautiful, why is it here?

"Hmm? Oh, that. That's a magical book of space-time magic. If you leave it in the back, it won't sell anyway, so it's in there."

"Can't you sell it?

"I can't sell it. I don't care who comes to this one-country bookstore in Wangdu for a magic book on space-time magic."

I see.

Like a bookstore we know, there's a chance that interested customers will buy a bookshelf if it's in a format where they can see it freely, but if they don't want it clearly, they won't buy it if they tell the clerk the book they want it out, like here.

Given the rarity of space-time magic, I guess it is this clerk's idea that there are no customers coming to buy it.

"So you can't just leave it here and sell it?

"The contents do, but it looks like a fine book, doesn't it? Keep it in your room. You can take an intelligent man and put it in a woman's hands, okay?

"Well, do you have a way of thinking about saying that?"

No, no, it's not that simple, even a woman.

At the point of calling in the private room in the first place, aren't we close enough?

Absolutely proper sales talk, right?

"Why not, brother? It's not a bad outfit, and you don't think it'll look good?

"Uh-huh, as an interior. I don't know what this price is for just decorations...... 4,000 rare for 3 books. What do you say?"

"Dude, that's exactly what makes my legs come out. Exquisite...... Rs. 4,800. I bought it for you, and I'll pull it off if that's all you got, okay?

"Right......"

"Nao, wasted again?

As I gave him a slightly reluctant look, Hulka, who had dealt with the Alchemy Dictionary, pinched the words a little.

"Dude, waste is terrible. You look intelligent with this, don't you? You're not wasting it. Hey, clerk?

"Oh, my goodness. Yeah, no, don't worry about it, it's 4,500 rare all together! Bring it!!"

That's Hulka, nice assist.

You thought you'd sell it before you could stop it, and you discounted it even more.

"Clerk, chubby! All right, I just got my reward in, and I'm gonna buy it and go home and be an intelligent man!

"Every time!"

Me paying the jolly laughing clerk and getting three books.

Naturally, I was going to buy it even if you didn't discount me, but it turned out to be 900 rare.

As a clerk, I pushed bad stock on a guy who doesn't know what it is for 1,500 rare copies, and he may have treated it like a duck, but even for me, he is a know-how by getting the book he absolutely wanted cheap.

Is this also, in a way, the guy called the Win-Win relationship?

◇ ◇ ◇

"Nao, you did well, didn't you?

"Oh. I can't wait to say something bad and say, 'It was a mistake I put there' or something. Halka is thankful too."

Books that would probably multiply by more than 10 if bought normally.

If you showed me how I was going to want it, it could have raised the price.

Because like modern Japan, 'It comes with a price tag, so sell it for that price' doesn't go through.

"Three books are a little heavy, but by the time we get home, we'll be out of dindles."

"Well, Natsuki and Yuki, you were seriously hungry for sweets"

"Not only is it sweet, but it must be delicious."

Even this morning, the two of them were flattening their dindles, one by two.

It contrasts with our satisfaction with one cut and two.

Well, we were like that at first, too, so I know how you feel.

"But the information. I finished my errands early... are you going back to the inn?

"No, let's see if there's any easy bread to eat. Today and tomorrow, if possible, you don't want black bread, do you?

"Oh. You don't have to taste good, so you want some bread that doesn't taste bad."

The bread I was thinking about and bringing home was all gone this morning.

Given that dish, I'm not going to blame Natsuki and Yuki at all, but if I can handle it, I want decent bread, even if it's somewhat expensive.

"Because the city is small, there aren't many bakeries."

There were only two bakeries on the main street.

Ask the city people, but they don't have any other bakeries.

I have no choice but to buy one loaf of bread at each bakery and try it half at a time.

"... How's it going?

"This one doesn't taste good. This one, it's delicious or nothing."

"Same goes for me. This way, then."

I will buy a piece of bread that is not delicious but is not even delicious until tomorrow.

You should buy some more before you leave the city tomorrow.

The next one we headed was outside the city.

I'm going to start a bonfire and bake the meat from the pig I hunted yesterday.

Thanks to the fact that Hulka is able to serve ice, if we change the ice from time to time, we can eat it for about a day.

I'll cut it, and Halka will season it and cook it.

The roasted meat is pinched in bread and packed for two.

"... yeah, tasty enough thanks to the meat"

"Right. You don't mind if I cool this down a little, do you?

I can't burn all over the city just like that, so I'm going to take home the burnt stuff for the three of us leaving voicemails and until tomorrow morning.

It would be like a cold fast-food hamburger in the image... but still it would be better than that dish.

"If you're talking about luxury, you want some raw vegetables like cheese, lettuce and tomatoes."

"Pickles can handle it, but cheese's probably expensive, right? Raw vegetables are dangerous. Fortunately, we all [stubbornly] have it, but does it also work on parasites or something?

"Toya and Natsuki levels would be fine, wouldn't they?

Toya and Natsuki's [stubborn] is level 4, me and Hulka are level 2, and Yuki is level 1.

Natsuki was a little sick in the original world, so he took it to level 4.

Conversely, Yuki only took level 1 because she was fine.

Around Yuki not getting sick at this stage, the [stubborn] effect seems pretty likely......

"The effect is' resistant to disease ', so hey. Parasite, isn't that a disease in itself?

"You mean boiling disinfection is the safest"

"There are ways to disinfect chlorine and radiation, but not in this world."

"Radiation disinfection? Are you okay, it"

"It's hardly recognized in Japan, but it's used as a foreign country, right? It's safe because I don't even use chemicals like hypochlorite, and it can be disinfected raw, so it's a good way."

"But you're not recognized, are you?

"Yeah. Japanese, because I hate radiation"

It seems to be a pretty useful way to handle food poisoning caused by raw meat, such as a lever, which has been a problem for a time, because it can be disinfected without heating.

In fact, it is also used for non-food medical-related disinfection, so it is only a sense of repellence due to the perceived image that is not recognized for non-food items.

"Uh-huh, can't you make gamma-ray magic or something? You want some raw vegetables, right?

"I know how useful it is, but stop it. What if gamma rays above the expected level come out in the middle of development"

Historical radiologists have mostly died of radiation damage.

I am not going to deny radiation stubbornly, but I am very much not in favour of experimenting in an environment where there are no protective facilities.

"Can't you handle it with 'purification'?

"Wow, 'purification' is so versatile for anything... nothing? Clean the bug eggs clean, too. Think you can handle it?

Halka, who tried to deny it, stopped the words on the way and twisted her neck.

If this is possible, the usefulness of 'purifying' magic, the top ranking, no, I may already be in the hall.

"Make sure you work hard with that here. Or hypochlorite magic."

This one will figure it out by the smell, and it will be possible to treat it magically even if there is an accident.

On the other hand, I find DNA damage likely to be difficult with normal healing magic.

"Hypochloric acid magic...... production of sodium hypochlorite? Could it be possible to electrolyze salt water? What will it be as a pedigree? Soil, wind?

Somehow I thought of Halka elsewhere, and I'm gonna cook the meat.

Hate, I'm not very good at chemistry, so it's impossible to give advice.

If three talented people from Haruka, Natsuki and Yuki get together, they might come up with some good ideas, so let's hope there.

However, as far as I'm concerned, 'purification' seems easier.

'Cause you just put it on against a human, and in an instant, it cleans you up in your pants, huh?

Of course, the clothes are beautiful and refreshing.

It feels exactly like 'up to the oil stain in the back of the fiber'.

Given that, isn't it likely that the dirt and worm eggs on the surface of the vegetables will be lightly cleaned?
