Selling Water Can Make Money

I came to the plain near the mansion again after I finished with my breakfast. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

Yesterday I was able to enter Lazur kingdom’s territory after using Teleport repeatedly.

I haven’t walked around due to the fatigue and time spent, but the purpose of today is to take my time and look around.

「It’s cold so let’s go there fast」

Snow is falling and the wind is also blowing today. I’ll be getting a cold if I keep standing blankly in this kind of place so I cast quickly cast Teleport.

As I pictured the summit of that large rocky mountain from yesterday, I was standing in that place the next moment.

It’s quite a long-distance Teleport, but there’s no problem with my mana and the coordinate is also correct.

As expected, being able to teleport to Kagura seems to have given me a lot of self-confidence.

「Hot hot」

It’s right in the height of winter in Koryatt village, but the temperature here is the same as summer.

I’m dripping with sweat since I’m wearing winter clothes so I immediately take them off and store them in the subspace.

After changing into short sleeves and shorts, I feel like I can take a breather now and it’s much easier to spend my time here.

It’s like teleporting to a warm place after being in a cold place where the cold is piercing your body.

Now then, I can freely make things myself or read a book or something, but there is a small town beneath me.

It’s probably a town that developed as people gathered around the oasis.

Speaking of Lazur kingdom, they are famous for their spices. There might be delicious food and spices that can only be found here.

It is important to expand the repertoire of foods in order to enrich my daily life.

Let’s take this opportunity to sightsee the town since I’m here already.

I teleported from the summit of the rocky mountain to the street below.

There are guards holding spear who seems to be checking the people entering the town.

I will definitely look suspicious empty-handed. I check the clothes of the people entering the town.

There are a lot of people riding a short and stout creature that looks like a hippo.

What’s that? That creature?

I don’t know it well but they are probably creatures to move around the vast wilderness and desert. Probably also specialized in heat and thirst. I guess they are like camel in my previous life.

I thought it would be bad if I also didn’t ride that, but there were also people who weren’t riding them and were walking. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

So I don’t think anyone will be suspicious if I don’t ride that.

Some travelers wear something that looks like a long-sleeved thawb covering their neck to their ankles, with cloth around their heads, some wear cloaks, and there are also people who wear robes.

At any rate, they looked like clothes that minimize skin exposure and protect you from sunlight.

I don’t have those thawb-like clothes so I take out a thin, long-sleeve and a robe with light-blocking characteristics from the subspace, put them on, and carry a knapsack on my back.

I’ve kept my skin exposed to the minimum, this should not be a problem.

I walk down the street and stand in line at the town’s entrance.

I couldn’t see the front at all since the person in front of me was riding that creature that looked like a hippo.

As I stared at the swinging short, pig-like tail, the person in front of me was called, and then it was my turn.

The man was darker skinned than Eric, you could tell at a glance he was a Lazurian.

「Are you alone?」

「Yes, I came here to buy daily necessities and food」

「I see. You’re good to go」

I was quickly given permission to enter the town without my luggage being checked when I told him my business.

「Eh?」

I unintentionally let out a bewildered voice after receiving a casual response.

「What’s the matter?」

「No, I was able to get in so easily」

「There is no one who would do some strange things in a place like this. 'sides, you’re just a little kid」

「I see」

It’s a little more difficult when you’re dealing with nobles in the royal capital, but it seems like it’s quite lenient over here.

Well, I guess it’s because there will be few people who will do one thing or another in a place one step from the desert like here.

The people here are cheerful but the public security seems to be good in this town.

As I smoothly entered the town, I saw a signboard that says 『Welcome to Jaisal!』.1

Apparently, this town is called Jaisal. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

There are a lot of bricks made of sand and mud, and also from Earth magic, it seems like they are using those to build houses.

Because of that, the entire town is brown. But thanks to that, the clear blue sky looks exceptionally vibrant.

It looked extremely nice even if you see the town from a distance due to the sense of uniformity coming from the materials.

Though I’m not completely sure which is which, I’ll just continue to walk forward for now.

Looking closely at the buildings, you can see that they were carved. They are quite delicate, maybe because the materials are made from mud.

Judging from the guards protecting the entrance, I thought they were mostly sloppy but it seems like there are also people with fine skills here.

Those that have colorful fabrics on the shopfront are likely a fabric shop. There are a lot of brightly dyed ones like red or green, but the ornaments are very detailed.

There are probably few stores that have this much detailed ornaments even back in the high-end stores in the royal capital.

「Oh, what do you think of our cloths?」

As I was glancing at them, a chubby ojiisan called out to me with a splendid business smile on his face.

Elna-kaasan will be happy if I buy and bring them home, but she will probably ask where I buy them from.

「No, I don’t have much on hand」

「I see. Then, I will give a little lesson for you boy. How much do you think you can afford?」

I tried to back away by giving some suitable reason, but the shopkeeper still kept trying.

It becomes extremely troublesome to me when you say something like that.

Although he has a kind-hearted smile on his face he might be surprisingly good at business.

So I hastily left the place since I felt like I’d be pressured to buy some if he continued to take the initiative.

「Hey, boy. Are you on errands? Are you feeling thirsty?」

Then even after that, a middle-aged Lazurian man called out to me.

Even when I feel cautious due to this friendly voice like when you’re caring for your friend, I still respond to him for some reason.

「Do you sell juice?」

「It’s water」

I was planning on buying local juices from this town if there are any, but I won’t buy it if it’s just water.

I can drink it anywhere and I can make some with magic after all. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「Then I don’t want to」

「Oi oi, are you joking? Are you saying you don’t need water in this heat? I won’t care about you if you collapse, y’hear?」

「I already have plenty of water」

The middle-aged man selling water shrugged his shoulder after I said that and left.

The street vendors are strong-willed. But strangely, they don’t have the same pressure as the store clerk of the royal capital’s store.

I wonder if ‘friendly’ is the right word to describe them. It made me realize that different countries are doing business differently from the Misphilt Kingdom.

As I walked while feeling impressed, I saw another place that looked like they were also selling water so I walked away from it.

「Put the water in the barrel」

「Okay, it’s five silver coins 」

So expensive! Even in the royal capital, a barrel full of water only cost one silver coin. It’s five times that amount.

However, the man who came to buy the water didn’t complain about the price and paid it obediently.

I see. This place is a desert region with severe heat and dryness. So the demand for water is higher compared to Koryatt village and the royal capital, huh?

It’s difficult to obtain water in desert regions and it is essential for survival.

It’s not a place to be stingy with water.

But then, wouldn’t people who can use Water magic be able to get easy money here?

There is no need to purchase it as long as I have the mana for the magic to make water I will be able to provide it as much as needed.

And even if the water is heavy I can just carry it with Teleport and sell it whenever to earn money.

「……this might be an attractive job like being an ice house manager」

Unlike an ice house manager in my own village, the advantage is that I can do business at my own discretion with Teleport.

I found a way to earn money easily and safely for the future.

「Selling water is also nice」

I continued my sightseeing of Jaisal in a good mood with this unexpected harvest. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
