Since we occupied Ryun height city, about half a month has has passed by.Ryun Height was trying to regain its appearance of a trading city, a bit of liveliness had returned to the city.However, before the invasion, it is a base city for trades where the trade routes intersected, where many caravans used to come and go frequently. It is not much as before.But now, they have acquired a new business opportunity, that is the trade with demons.
âHowâs the business?âI, now, have come to visit the caravan of inujins gathered at the south gate.There are roughly a dozen of non-military inujins. There are some ten-odd carts parked, and around them is a crowd of human⊠no inujins.âAh, Vaito-kunâFaan-oneechan, who is the person in charge of south gate, smiled after seeing me.âBusiness is good. Look, look, I received so much silverworks.ââBribe is no goodâŠâSeeing the silver ring and necklace Faan-oneechan had, I sighed.
In the world of demons, where strength is considered absolute, it is difficult to explain why bribe is no good. I gave up quickly.âHey Vaito-kun, arenât inujin supposed to hate silver?âBecause Faan-oneechan is holding up the silver ring with a curious face, I will explain.âThat is a rumour circulated by humans.â\n
âRumour?â
Looking at Faan-oneechanâs blank expression, I continued further,âThe silverworks of inujins, humans could not imitate. The humans who didnât like that, spread the false rumour.âThanks to that, inujins were driven away from the mines and they had to live in the forest in hiding. It is an unfortunate story.Even after that, inujins are not particularly holding a grudge, but think of it as misfortune.
I enquire Faan-oneechan about the situation here.âAre the transactions with humans going well?ââYes, it is great. At first, they were afraid, but seeing the appearance and behaviour of inujins, they got used to it.âWhen I look around, there are also human merchants, who have gathered. They are still a little timid, but price negotiations are all the same.
âThese silver spoons, since I will buy fifty of them, wonât you give a discount for five of them?ââIt is fine for three.ââOk, thatâs settled then.âInujin-san. Wonât the salt from south beach be in the return cargo?âAh, I wonder if sugar is better than salt.ââI have it, I have, itâs just a little expensive though.â
Hmm, hmm, itâs not a bad feeling. Although they wonât count towards the military power, but it was good to bring those inujins.Just to be sure, I remind Faan-oneechan who is grinning while looking at silverworks.âIf there are any dispute, be sure to quickly inform the trade association of Ryun Height. Be sure not to arbitrarily handle it yourself.ââYes.â \nFaan-oneechan has a light mood, but she has a strong sense of justice. It will be fine. Probably.
Taking a break, I buy the fruits from a caravan that came transporting goods from the southern countries. It looks like a pineapple from previous life, but the cross section is bright green.âIs it tasty?ââHmm, I really like this.âI pay the price after taking the round slices from the inujin that looked like a borzoi.(T/N: Borzoi is a breed of dog.)The smell is perfect, but sugar content is so-so. I realize again maybe the fruits from previous life were sweetened.
When I was chewing the green pineapple without knowing its name, suddenly the inujins and werewolves started a commotion.âWhat happened?âFaster than the reply of my subordinate, my ears sense the abnormal event.It is the emergency dog whistle. From the direction of north gate, it could be heard faintly.
Three whistles!Itâs the enemy attack.
Before I order, Faan stands up.âClose the north gate! Notify the caravan to take refuge inside the city.âI gulped down the green pineapple and transformed on the spot.âWoooo!âThe humans nearby are unable to stand up due to fear, but it is not the time for that. If I donât transform, then I canât howl.
