Garudeina Oukoku Koukoku Ki

Last night, they returned to the hotel and prepared carefully for today. After they got their delivery, they’ll return to their settlement. In other words, they had prepared moderately based on the circ.u.mstances and as expected, he stared amazed at the spectacle before his eyes.

「……… What did you say? 」

「……… It’s the first time I saw so many beast people at once.」

On a plain, that can’t be seen from the town, approximately 100 people were standing. The impressive thing was that most of them were demi-humans (and about 30 humans).Furthermore, a large amount of goods were piled up to a mountain and cut off the view.

「…… I arranged the goods you ordered. Here are a list and the payment report.」

Said Ed, and hold a few sheets of paper to Georg. On it, the numbers of every kind of demi-human and their race, and the quant.i.ty of supplies were listed. In addition, it mentioned well how much payment was left after the deduction of the goods.

He read the inventory list:

A total of 68 demi-humans were gathered. There were more women than man, because it’s said that their manpower was inferior to a man as a laborer and therefore cheaper. By the way, this doesn’t apply to the dwarves and elves, because there hardly any difference of power between man and woman there.

There are no children or elderly. The reason should be that vendors are unwilling to sell children, but for the elderly, as they get old and can’t do labor anymore, most of them will be disposed of.

Speaking of dwarves, they are not as hairy, small and wider as the images in our head. They are slightly smaller than humans and beside their great muscles not much different than them.

The elves are looking almost as expected, not to say anything about their outstandingly good looks, their ears have a unique, fragile shape. Their magical apt.i.tude should be high by nature, but since they were imprisoned half their lives, they had no chance to practice magic to a usable state.

「Hmm…… I can say, you gathered them well.」

In addition, more than 600 sets of clothes (for each demi-human respectively), more than 100 blankets, dry meat and black bread, salt, food seasonings such as pepper. There is even sugar, but not much. Moreover, a considerable number of things needed for living such as iron pots and wooden plates are listed in the inventory list.

Since he expected only the worst of the beast people he was indeed surprised at this. Besides, around three-fifths of the a.s.sets still remain (the 10% and a half are already subtracted as well).It is easy to imagine the overworking that happened here.

「Haha…… Well, now….. Because Georg-sama is the one requested it, I could do it.」

「…… Were these your real feelings? 」

「N…… no, no! There is no such thing! 」

He remembered to be respectful, but while he was talking he couldn’t conceal the exhausted expression on his face. It could be out of fear of the Dragunir, but Georg didn’t care.

「…… Whatever. Even though the money is paid, I can see that I troubled you and the hardship you went through. You could say I owe you one.」

With Georg’s words, Ed’s expression began to brighten.

「Th, Then! Can I expect to further sell wholesales of such goods!?」

「Huh…… Is it? That is not worth much to me, but I had the time and thought I just do it. Well, if that’s what you want, I think about it……」

With a gesture, Georg showed that he was unwilling to talk about it. Ed got lost in his thoughts.

「No, you are surely ambitious. Such a thing may not appear on the market often. However, this time, let’s settle with being able to form a relationship and call it a day. 」

「Hah, a wise choice. But I’ll come again sooner or later…… I’ll be in your care in about three or four months, but in about half a year at the latest.」

「……. You are the origin of these rumors, aren’t you? 」

「Well, I wonder about that.」

While Ed doubted it, George began whistling. It looked like an adult who has a difficult time, dealing with a naughty boy.

「Well, let’s keep it that way. Even though I’m interested, I fear I’ll go too far.」

「It’s the right choice. Let’s raise it slowly. I don’t need the manpower anymore and they can return. They did a good job.

「…… Hmm? Ho… How do you intend to transport them? 」

「I’ll use a way unexpected to humans. It may be looking inconvenient to the crowd.」

It’s probably only Ed who knows Georg’s race. Therefore, he whispered this into Ed’s ear who understood immediately and ordered his subordinates to leave.

「Well, Georg-sama, if there is a next time, I hope you will patronage us again.」

「Yes, I expect to. Do you mind? 」

「I look forward to it. Well then, thank you very much for choosing our Goldberg Company.」

He sends off the people of the company and as soon as they were no longer visible, Ferris approached Georg.

「Nii-san, after all, you frightened them.」

「I guess. After all, we bought them with a huge sum of money all of a sudden and now they’re afraid. But, after we arrive I’ll take away their fear and uneasiness……」

George said and turned to the hesitantly gathered beast people and took off his hood with his finest smile.

「Now, ladies and gentlemen!!Have you ever flew in the sky? 」
