My Beloved Dog is the Strongest in Another World-Chapter 865
Chapter 865
The chief was rather sharp-witted
“In that case, the other two guests… They did not seem like ordinary travelers of merchants when entering the room. They were looking around guardedly.”
“That’s…”
“And you too, Takumi. The way you carry yourself is a little different… I get the impression that you know how to fight as well.”
Indeed, I had fought orcs… But had I changed so much that he could detect it like that? Perhaps the training had changed me in ways that I did not realize yet.
I did gain muscle, which might have improved my posture.
“You said earlier that you were here to thank Delia and gain knowledge. But is that really it?”
What I had discussed with Sebastian.
There was the excuse of thanking Delia for catching the thief and helping me. As well as wanting to travel around and see different villages.
I had met Phillip and Nicholas on the way, and we became friends. The part of wanting to learn more was true, though.
Now that Ms. Delia was gone, the chief was using the chance to find out more about me…
“It is as I said. Well…mostly. I do want to learn and experience more, and that is why I am here.”
“Hmm… And?”
“I ate the konjac in Ractos.”
“You did? Ah, Kanat did go to sell it. Apparently, he was able to sell all that he took with him.”
Claire had bought almost all of it. But Ractos was quite receptive to unusual things, so it probably would have sold fine even if she didn’t.
Also, Ms. Delia would have eaten some of it too.
“Yes. I saw that he was selling it, and so I ate some as well.”
“Hmmm. Still, it is not exactly something that is delicious.”
“True… But it is quite good when combined with other foods. The women like it quite a lot.” freёnovelkiss.com
“Did they? But I heard that it was the duke’s daughter who bought a lot of Kanat’s stock?”
Oh… So he had already told the chief about that.
Well, it was no surprise.
“Uh, I just got what was left. And so we don’t have enough…”
“Not enough…? Is it that much in demand then… Is it popular in Ractos?
The other thing that Sebastian and I had decided that I should talk about.
The possibility of regularly buying more of the konjac.
Well, it had been Claire’s request.
Of course, I was not really a merchant, nor was it my job to stock up the pantries. So it was mostly just a cover to make my visit seem more natural.
As for what would happen if I did buy a lot of the konjac, I would then have to take it back with me and then sell it to the mansion.
Sebastian had promised to purchase whatever I brought back, and since Claire and the others were expectant, it was probably safe for me to buy as much as possible.
“…So I think it will sell well with women. And once its reputation spreads, more people will want to buy it. As I think it is very promising, I thought that I should come here myself, and see how it is made.”
