Solve problems

After verifying the adventurer's fake potion and Heli's medicine, the others began to suspect the adventurer. Mae noticed the fat figure of a man hiding behind the others with a shopping cart covered with a white cloth and became suspicious.

Last time, she found Gina in a very injured state, that girl appeared after she chased the businessman away. It could be said that it was a coincidence or there was something mysterious behind it. Mae walked to the cart with a bunch of cloth and pulled it out to see that it contained a lot of fake recovery medicine inside.

"Look here! There are many potions here similar to the one that guy is holding!"

"It's true that there are a lot of fake drugs here."

"It seems like this car belongs to the businessman Creos."

Who? Mae doesn't even know who that guy is. Heli came close to her ear and whispered softly.

"It's the fat man we met last time, don't tell me you forgot?" - Heli

"So that's it, that man has no impression on me because he's scum. My work here is done, the rest is up to you, Maxim" - Mae

The mother mushroom turned towards Maxim, who was holding documents in his hand and was about to leave when he was called back.

"I understand" - Maxim

Mae leaves with her two children to do another job, the job she is talking about is the illegal slave trade. She asked a beastman she happened to know, her name was Knivi, an adventurer.

In a misunderstanding that almost resulted in bloodshed, Knivi will atone by helping Mae find out information related to the fat businessman Creos. Unexpectedly, that fat man was not only a famous person in the business industry but also a person who knew how to seize opportunities to take advantage of it to enrich himself.

To understand this further, she must become a merchant herself.

She's not so stupid that she doesn't understand the consequences of what she's doing. She just hopes that her actions don't reach the Archdemon's ears. During the time of learning about this world, there existed Archdemon, powerful entities with power comparable to gods. Everyone worships and fears them.

Wealthy merchants are often associated with the Archdemon of Greed, a person who just listens to understand how powerful a power of money he possesses.

Back to the present, Mae sat on a freight car to Drakenberg, where there was a Bazaar, the main shopping place in the capital. Luckily, thanks to a travel permit, they were able to enter. Inside the capital, there are bustling people, the noise of sellers and buyers, and even movement on the waterway.

While looking for the partner Maxim had contacted, Sophie was staring at the fragrant buttermilk baked goods sold by a Shiba dog.

"Buy quickly, the cake just came out of the oven. Buy quickly before it gets cold!"

"Give me three breads" - Mae

"Here it is!"

The bakery owner immediately wrapped three hot cakes for them and gave them to them. Mae and her two children immediately took a big bite to enjoy. The cake is not only soft and spongy, but the scent of rich milk and butter fills the mouth.

Not to mention there are many other stalls selling clothes and jewelry, they go from place to place to visit.

That is until...

"Listen, I know you three are excited to visit this place. But can you please focus on your main work?!"- Maxim

Maxim arrived with a pile of documents. It took him a long time to solve the problem in the village. Now when he arrived, he saw the mushroom family happily visiting the Bazaar.

Finally, they registered the bank under the owner's name, Mae, so they could legally do business here. The stall they first sold was related to the healing potions that were currently popular on the market.

It was not unexpected that many people came to buy those bottles of medicine. Sophie helps Mae solicit customers, while Heli and Maxim calculate sales numbers. Their work smoothly attracts someone's attention.

They were busy doing business until they heard something like a stomach growling. The person making that noise was none other than Maxim. Poor him, when he rushed here without having time to eat breakfast, Mae had to leave to buy food as well as buy more personal items for them.

I wonder if they sell clothes that mushrooms can wear?

"Hey, you brat! Who let you get food without paying?"

A loud voice rang out, attracting everyone's attention. It was a man holding a child's shirt. Judging by the clothes that boy was wearing, he could be the son of a rich family. there. But don't rich people pay enough to buy an apple?

"What are you talking about? One of your apples costs up to 10 gold coins, so it's too expensive compared to the market. Not only that, it's a low quality apple, are you planning on selling it in such a deceitful way? "- Child

"You Brat!"

As soon as the man raised his hand to hit the boy, Mae grabbed a meat cleaver and swung it down between the two people. The knife not only scared the man but also split the table in half. Mae glanced at the man with a scary expression, even though it was just the face of a mushroom.

"Sorry, my hand was too weak so my hand slipped" - Mae

The man was so scared that he foamed at the mouth and fainted. While everyone was still paying attention to the other man, Mae pulled the child's hand and left quickly. Running far away from there, Mae bought some cakes at the store just now and gave them to the child.

"Eat it, it's fresh out of the oven" - Mae

The child couldn't wait for the cake, so she put the cake right next to the child.

"Why are you wandering around the Bazaar? Where are your parents?"- Mae

"Why should I answer to a walking mushroom like you?" - Child

'That's so arrogant'- Mae thought

"If you don't want to answer that's fine, but I have to take you to the knights first. They will help you get home" - Mae

"Do I look like a child who easily gets lost?"- Child

"You're just a child, my name is Mae"- Mae

"Do even walking mushrooms have names?" - Child

"There are only a few cases, what about you?" - Mae

"Don't say....I can go by myself without asking a demon mushroom for help"- Child

"Okay, take this" - Mae

Mae took out two small bottles of medicine from her pocket, along with a few gold coins and placed them in the child's hand.

"A healing potion and a smoke potion. That should be safe, add a few more gold coins just in case" - Mae

"Aren't you afraid of being robbed? Are you so gullible?"- Child

"So what's wrong? If people in trouble don't help, no one will help them. Bye, be careful on your way home" - Mae

She held the bag of cookies tightly and ran back to her place of sale, the child still sat there watching the devil mushroom leave. He looked at the still hot cake, picked it up and took a bite.

"So soft, like the arms of a walking mushroom"- Child
