「Ah, nii-san, there is a store over there.」

「Food again? 」

「It’s different~~ They have accessories made with wood carving.」

「Okay, Let’s look at them a little.」

「Yup!」

At night, these two were parading around downtown. Yesterday Georg was going to the company again and made the already pale blue face of the busy Ed even more blue with him saying “I think I forgot to order daily miscellaneous goods” but no incidents happened later.

They stayed at a suitable hotel overnight and now they were on their way.

Of course, they are not merely walking. They were looking for shops serving as a reference for the future and if the rumors they are spreading had spread.

The rumors are something that they made up this morning.

This morning in the dining room on the first floor of the hotel George used the opportunity to spread rumors to the people there. Something like “The Goldberg Company buys demi-humans”, “A certain n.o.ble is spending a huge sum to collect them” or “Because they are bought at a high price, he has a lot of money” etc.

At first, it was ignored, but it suddenly hit on.

If this works, demi-humans may be gathered in this town.

Therefore, Georg added something to rumors.

「It looks like this will not be the last gathering at this town and I’ll buy more in the future. And if it is a healthy, young demi-human, I buy them at 10 to 20 times the market price, regardless of their gender. I buy even children, who are not fitted to be sold yet, at the same price as adults. I come again in three months and six months and if the health of the demi-humans improves, you can get a little pocket money, yourself.」

At the beginning, it was only a rumor in the small hotel on the outskirts of the town, but George kept spreading the same rumor at other places. While they were going sightseeing in the town, they spread the rumor everywhere and naturally more people get to know it. It’ll become the truth very soon.

He doesn’t know how effective it really is, but he thought that it might be worth trying.

＜Hmm, the effect seems to be bigger than I antic.i.p.ated……＞

They left the hotel after half a day and entered a cheap restaurant for lunch. The rumor already dominated the talks of the restaurant.

「It travels fast from the near neighborhood……」
「If we don’t act quickly, our costs will increase.」
「It would be nice if they’re healthy……」
「We can’t afford to let them become more fat……」
「Can they be injured or ill?」

Well, this is the situation.

「…… Unexpectedly, we may be able to secure the population for the first foundation rather early.」

「Yeah…… but it’s kinda scary here.」

For Ferris, who is a beast person, the noises here seems to be unpleasant. Although they were talking about things he spread earlier.

「Do you want to go? We walked a lot in this town and we got valuable handcrafts already. After walking a bit further, we’ll return to the hotel and prepare for tomorrow.」

「Yeah……」

He left the dining room with a spiritless Ferris. The clattering of the other residents didn’t stop until it got dark.
