Chapter 12

For breakfast, I had vegetable soup and a large sausage from a food stall.
I am glad to be able to eat what I like now that I have more room in my pocket.
The price is 150 rims for the soup and 350 rims for the sausage.
I feel that dishes using meat are generally expensive.
With my stomach full, I walked along as planned until I came to the plaza in front of the royal castle.
On the way, I also bought a leather bag at a bag shop.
It was large enough to be used by adventurers and would be useful for storing daily necessities.
I have spent almost all of my money, and now only have 3000 rims left in my pockets.
The plaza in front of the castle was much bigger and cleaner than the open space in front of the dungeon.
It seems that they have hired professional cleaners for this place.
Thereupon, I saw the large bulletin board in the corner with the announcements from the government.
For example, βtolls on the bridge have increasedβ or βa felon has been arrestedβ.
Itβs like a rough official gazette.
As I restlessly looked around for what I was looking for, I quickly found it.
The wanted poster for the witch Michelle.
It was a portrait drawn on a piece of paper about the size of a movie poster.
Listless, dark eyes that looked somewhat tired, with a few dark circles beneath them.
Jet black hair longer than her shoulders.
Her breasts that lifted up her white blouse were large, and although she looked gloomy and plain, there was no doubt that she was a beautiful woman.
She seemed to be making a somewhat sulky expression in the portrait butβ¦β¦
[So sheβs the witch Michelle huhβ¦β¦ Isnβt she quite the beauty?]
I mumbled to myself, but a hoarse voice suddenly called out to me from behind.
[You think so?]
[Whoa!?]
I jumped involuntarily, and when I looked around, there I found the Grim Reaper in his silver mask.
[Minerva-san, please donβt startle me!]
[Itβs not like I mean to do that thoughβ¦β¦]
Perhaps because of the dorachocoβs effect, my fear of Minerva has diminished.
[What are you doing in a place like this?]
[I thought I should get to know the face of the rumored witch.]
Me and the Grim Reaper stood side by side, looking at the wanted poster.
[Are you also aiming for the witch?]
[You jest. Iβm just a street vendor. Besides, I kinda feel sorry for this witchβ¦β¦]
Ah, wait, wouldnβt I be in trouble if I said that?
I had been warned by Bottakuroβs proprietress, but I had forgotten about it.
However, Minerva didnβt seem to mind.
[Why do you think so?]
[After all, she had her engagement unilaterally broken off, didnβt she? Well, I think itβs going too far to put a curse on people, but I do have some sympathy for her.]
[Fumuβ¦β¦ By the wayβ¦β¦]
The Grim Reaper kinda feels like heβs fidgeting aboutβ¦β¦
The heck is this guy squirming about?
[Thatβ¦β¦ was that true?]
[What was?]
[T- That thing you said earlier, that sheβs beautifulβ¦β¦]
[Ahh, you mean the witch huh.]
[Umu. W- Whatβs so good about this woman?]
Hmm, contrary to his appearance, does Grim Reaper like the outgoing ones more than the plain ones?
I did hear how people seek what they themself lack, but it seems to be true.
[Sheβs quite good-looking, isnβt she? She may have a gloomy personality, but she might be a nice person to be around if you get to know her.]
[Hmmmm, thatβs one way to look at itβ¦β¦ However, it is said that she wasnβt popular at all. Well, thatβs just from the rumors Iβve heardβ¦β¦]
Seems like the conversation was going to be a long one, so I took out some snacks.
It was a new product, Carol Choco.
These bite-sized chocolates come in a variety of flavors.
The packaging is colorful and fun to look at.
Product name: Carol Choco
Description: Bite-sized chocolates. Eating one makes you feel a little happy.
Price: 20 rims
[Please take one, itβs chocolate.]
[S- Sorryβ¦β¦]
The Grim Reaper, who has a sweet tooth, hurriedly opens the wrapping paper.
[Continuing what I said earlier, I find it surprising that the witch wasnβt popular.]
[In this country, cheerful women are popular. Besides, the witch doesnβt have any charmβ¦β¦]
[Eh, you think so? Doesnβt that slightly tired look on her face look sexy? She also got big breasts, so if you were to ask me, sheβs pretty high up.]
[Y- You think so? Her buttocks are rather large though. Donβt you think theyβre rather unshapely?]
[Rather, thatβs a really great charm point for her! She really smells like danger, but she has more than enough charm to compensate for it.]
Why am I having a boyβs talk with the Grim Reaper?
Moreover, I donβt know how it happened, but I ended up supporting the witch.
Even though we have never met, how strange.
[By the way, you seem to know a lot about the witch?]
[Iβve only happened to see her in the past.]
[Could it be that Minerva-san is also a fan of the witch?]
[Hmph, I donβt like herβ¦β¦]
""
Minerva-san popped the carol choco into her mouth from the edge of her mask.
[Ah, strawberry flavorβ¦β¦]
[We have four kinds right now: strawberry, caramel, milk and pistachio.]
[I- Iβll take your entire stock!]
As expected of a sweet tooth!
Iβve suddenly got a 2400-rim sale.
[β¦β¦Your name?]
[Eh?]
[Iβm asking your nameβ¦β¦]
[Ahh, Iβm Yahagi Yuusuke .]
[Yuusuke huhβ¦β¦]
Is it because I had eaten some carol choco? Even though Iβm with the Grim Reaper, Iβm having a somewhat pleasant and joyful time with him.
Over time, Iβve also become frank with him.
[Iβm glad youβre buying my wares, but you shouldnβt eat too much sweet stuff.]
[Eh, but I like them~~]
Huh?
Whatβs with that cutesy way of speakingβ¦β¦
The voice, however, is still that hoarse voice of a man.
[N- Noβ¦β¦ I like them so much that I canβt stop.]
Speaking of which, Minerva had a pair of womenβs underwear.
Pink and silk underwear.
I donβt really mind those kinds of stuff, but maybe he has circumstances he doesnβt want to share with others.
I think Iβd better not get too deep into this though.
Minerva and I chatted about sweets and other recent topics until almost noon, and I think we became closer with each other.
[By the way, Iβd like to ask againβ¦β¦]
[What is it now?]
[Did you really think the witch was cute?]
[Donβt make me say it again. Well, itβs just a matter of preference. I wonβt really know until I meet her myself.]
[Fumu fumuβ¦β¦]
I donβt really know what is with him, but the Grim Reaper was quite persistent on this subject.
