"Since you are willing to trade with my Ogre clan, then let that girl take you to look at the fur of the monster. After your confirmation, it will not be too late for us to discuss the final transaction quantity." Saying so, the leader of the Ogre clan beckoned toward Shion, who had been sitting in the corner without saying a word since entering the house, and motioned her to come over.
She was the one who brought Miyuki back to the village, so the leader of the Ogre clan naturally entrusted her with the task of entertaining Miyuki.
As for himself, he needs to calm down and seriously consider how many changes will Miyuki bring to their village!
"Okay, then it's settled!" Seeing that the leader of the Ogre tribe didn't intend to go with him, Miyuki nodded and got up immediately, and walked out of the tea room under Shion's leadership.
He knew very well that the leader of the Ogre tribe must have a lot of thoughts on his mind at the moment.
That being the case, give the other party more time to think!
As for the other party mistaking that he is a human. Miyuki didn't intend to clarify it.
After all, deep in his heart, he still thinks of himself as a human.
Shion watched the whole conversation between Miyuki and the leader of the Ogre clan.
"Can you really sell us salt?" It was also because of this that when the two walked out of the tea room, she couldn't wait to ask repeatedly, she no longer had the vigilance and hostility she had when they first met.
Seeing this, Miyuki smiled and said, "Haven't I repeated it to your leader many times? I can indeed sell salt to you guys. It's just, are you Ogres so short of salt?"
When he first came to the Ogre Clan, Miyuki didn't know anything about it.
But seeing that everyone has clothes to wear, and every family has a hut to live in, the quality of life is much better than that of more than 90% of monsters.
Therefore, he really didn't know why the Ogres paid so much attention to salt.
"Of course!" Seeing the doubts on Miyuki's face, Shion nodded subconsciously, and at the same time told the current plight of her own tribe, "You human beings are very cunning. Obviously, the price of salt in the Western countries is not expensive, but when it is transported to Dwargon, the price has doubled several times."
"If you sell us monsters, it will be even more expensive, but we can't afford it if we don't buy them!" In the end, Shion couldn't help complaining to Miyuki.
In the Great Jura Forest, humanoid monsters like the Ogres really had a very difficult life. Many necessities could not be produced in the forest, and they were always cheated if they wanted to trade.
It's just that these words fell into Miyuki's ears, he was a little speechless,
Looking at Shion, Miyuki couldn't help but speak as if he had been wronged, "The ones you said are human profiteers, what does it have to do with me? I'm a serious businessman!
"Well... that's true, at least you haven't deceived us yet." Shion's expression became hesitant after seeing Miyuki's expression.
But after looking at Miyuki, she swung the mace in her hand the next moment and said, "If you are willing to trade with us normally, then from now on, you will be my friend."
"But if I ever find out you lied to me—"
"Humph!"
"The fight we didn't finish before is about to start again!"
Good guy!
I've never seen a mace used to make friends!
After hearing Shion's words, the corners of Miyuki's mouth subconsciously twitched, not knowing how to answer the question.
However, while the two were talking, two figures walking toward them immediately attracted Miyuki's attention.
They were two Ogres, a man, and a woman.
Miyuki could see at a glance that the tall man, who was wearing armor with two horns on his head, had the same red hair and skin as the leader of the big ghost tribe, and seemed to be exactly the same.
Miyuki immediately remembered, who he was. The number one general under Rimuru's command in the original work - Benimaru!
As for the other petite pink-haired Ogre girl, she must be Benimaru's younger sister, Her Royal Highness Shuna, the princess of the Ogre clan.
Same as in the original plot, Benimaru of the Ogre family still has sharp features and a strong figure, a dagger at the waist, and a real Japanese warrior costume.
But his younger sister Shuna is different from the roughness of the Ogres.
Even if there is no evolved race, she still looks very cute.
Should it be said that it is my forever favorite Shuna?
She is much better than Shion even if she hasn't evolved.
"Princess!"
"Your Highness!"
While Miyuki was secretly observing, Shion, who also noticed the visitor, immediately greeted him.
According to the setting of this world, monsters do not have their own names, so even between relatives and friends, at most, they only use their identities to call each other.
"Is this the merchant you brought back?" Nodding towards Shion, Benimaru turned his gaze toward Miyuki and asked.
Behind him, Shuna, the princess of the Ogre clan, seemed a little timid, so she subconsciously hid behind her brother.
For some reason, seeing these two gave Miyuki the illusion of seeing his own sister Yuki with him.
Although Yuki is cheerful and lively, she is quite timid in some places
Miyuki remembered very clearly how afraid Yuki was of thunder and lightning.
"That's right! We just met the leader, now I will take him to check the fur of the monster. If you can meet his request, we can exchange for salt!" Before Miyuki could speak, Shion turned her nose up and introduced him to Benimaru and Shuna very proudly.
After all, she was the one who brought Miyuki back. If she can really solve the salt shortage crisis in the village, that would be a great achievement!
"Oh! That's a good thing!" Shion's words obviously surprised Benimaru and Shuna. But after being surprised, Benimaru looked at Miyuki with a softer gaze.
The Ogre clan is really short of salt at present. If this young human businessman can really trade salt with them...then, It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the hope of the Ogre clan!
"In that case, let's go together. It just so happens that my sister and I are free." Benimaru said after thinking for a moment.
As the young master of the Ogre Clan, he is obviously very concerned about whether the deal can be successfully concluded.
And his proposal was not rejected by Miyuki and Shion.
Shion'sidea is very simple. Anyway, she is responsible for bringing Miyuki, and even the young master can't take her credit away. So, if the young master wants to follow, he can follow.
Miyuki is planning to take the initiative to make friends with Benimaru and Shuna, not only because they are the talents under the future Cute King's command, but also because Shuna is extremely cute!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Miyuki naturally wants to increase the goodwill in her heart.
The process of looking at the monster's fur was very smooth, and the craftsmanship of the Ogre clan was very good. It can be sold at quite a good price in the market.
Previously, he thought that this trade with the Ogre clan would be a little bit of a loss, but in the end, he didn't expect to make a profit.
Of course.
Trading or something is not the point.
The point is that Miyuki and the three of people got to know each other better and became familiar.
"So, His Excellency Miyuki is acting alone in the Great Jura Forest, then your strength must be extraordinary!" After Benimaru learned that Miyuki could act alone in the Jura Forest, he couldn't help but speak such words in a happy mood.
"If possible, I hope to learn martial arts from His Excellency Miyuki. Your Excellency Miyuki, please agree to my request!" Benimaru bowed deeply toward Miyuki and spoke in an extremely sincere tone.
In a sense, Benimaru can also be regarded as a martial idiot. In other words, this may also be his instinct as a monster.
When he bowed deeply to Miyuki and strongly hoped to fight with him, Miyuki, who never thought of such a situation, simply froze!
Come up to compete in martial arts, is it so straightforward?
but...
"Teaching martial arts... Sure." Miyuki nodded after being stunned for a moment.
The monsters living in Jura Great Forest have always believed in the law of the jungle.
Miyuki is very clear that if he wants to gain the friendship of the Ogre clan, it is far from enough to just cater to them blindly.
At the critical moment, only by showing enough strength can you gain the real respect of the other party!
Of course, there is another reason, if he is not strong enough, then his follow-up warnings will definitely not attract the attention of the Ogres.
That being the case, he decided to show his strength.
"Then, Your Excellency, the young master of the Ogre clan challenges you, let's discussion martial arts but don't hurt each other's friendship."
"Hahaha... that's exactly what I mean!"
"Your Excellency Miyuki, please give me your advice!"
As the Hestia's Blade was held by Miyuki, Benimaru on the opposite side also held the handle of the tachi at his waist.
The nature of monsters made Benimaru extremely excited at this moment.
His strength exceeds that of ordinary Ogres, and he has reached the B+ level. It has been a long time since he has found an opponent who can fight comfortably!
Now, finally able to let him have a good time.
"Oh, is it Iai?" Benimaru's opening gesture made Miyuki narrow his eyes slightly.
It can be seen that those Japanese warriors who traveled to this world back then really did not keep anything private from their descendants, and this opening gesture is really decent.
Unfortunately, although Benimaru's strength is strong, and he has even received the true inheritance, his race still limits his further development.
Before he was named and the race failed to evolve, he simply couldn't break through the shackles as quickly as humans and step into a stronger sequence!
Therefore--
The white light of the sword flashed, but the result was sparks of the sword flying in all directions due to the impact.
Benimaru was obviously very confident about his attack, but he never expected that Miyuki on the opposite side could easily parry him!
"How can this be?" Subconsciously showing a shocked expression, Benimaru didn't stop in his hand, and the sword kept slashing toward Miyuki's position.
However, looking at Miyuki again, he has blocked his sword with only one basic sword skill.
No matter how Benimaru attacks, he can't even scratch Miyuki's clothes.
"..."
"I lost..."
This battle actually didn't last long.
Just a few minutes later, Benimaru retracted his sword and faced his failure honestly.
Although there are still backhands that have not been used, Benimaru knows that even if he uses a unique move, it will be difficult to cause harm to Miyuki.
The gap between the two sides is already very obvious!
Benimaru's defeat was obviously beyond the expectations of Shion and Shucai.
"Brother!" Seeing the slightly gloomy look on Benimaru's face, Shuna even let out an exclamation, and hurriedly rushed to her brother!
"I'm fine."
"No wonder Your Excellency Miyuki dared to venture into the Jura Forest alone." Patting his sister's head lightly, Benimaru gave Shuna a doting smile, then looked at Miyuki with admiration while speaking.
As a B+ rank monster, even if Benimaru could not stand on the top of Jura Great Forest, he was definitely not weak.
But now compared with Miyuki, he can't even raise the fighting spirit to fight again.
In this battle, he was convinced to lose!
"You're being polite, but I'm actually taking advantage of this competition." He waved his hand towards Benimaru, although Miyuki won this match, there was no trace of pride on his face.
On the contrary, he smiled and praised the other party, saying that Benimaru's future is promising, "With your talent, when we break through the racial restrictions and complete the evolution, the two of us will compete again. At that time, we will not know who will win."
It's just, after hearing Miyuki's words, Benimaru couldn't help showing a bit of bitterness on his face and said, "Evolve... My Ogre clan wants to evolve into a Kijin, but it's not that easy..."
Indeed.
What Miyuki said was right, he was originally an Ogre of a B-level monster, and Benimaru's ability to reach a B+ level already represented that his talent was strong enough.
But the problem is.
Breaking through racial restrictions is not as simple as imagined. This is not only about talent but also depends on some luck.
If not.
Why haven't a few Ogres clans been able to achieve the position of Kijin in a hundred years?
Benimaru has reached the limit at this moment, with no accident, he will be stuck at this level for the rest of his life just like his father.
Sensing the despondency on Benimaru's face, Shuna at the side saw this and hurriedly cheered for his brother, "It does not matter. I believe that Onii-sama will definitely have a chance to become a ghost in the future!"
Let's not mention Benimaru and Shuna.
After Miyuki withdrew his Hestia's Blade, what greeted him was the adoring eyes of Shion.
"Your Excellency Miyuki, your strength is so strong!" Shion looked at Miyuki with admiration in her eyes and said.
In fact, this situation is understandable. The nature of a monster is to worship the strong.
When Shion found out that Miyuki could even defeat her young master, it was not surprising that she would react like this.
The issue is...
It is certainly a good thing to be able to gain Shion's favor and admiration.
But it's just the girl's current appearance...it's really not Miyuki's style!
If it was Shuna, he might accept it. After all, even the current Shuna is extremely cute.
As for Shion, Miyuki can't bear to accept her admiring gaze.
Or, why not just find a chance to name Shion and let her evolve into a hot sister?
But if you accept Shion then you must also accept Shuna. After all, cuteness is justice.
And, he really liked Shuna who wore the priestess uniform.
As for whether he robbed Cute King's men...
Miyuki doesn't care much. After all, the current Shion and Shuna have nothing to do with Rimuru.
...
