KT Chapter 295

Happy Wednesday!

Here’s the chapter, enjoy.

「Ooh, you’re the owner of the wolves, huh. Also, the potions had helped us out a lot too!」

When I headed over to the place where the merchant leader and the members of the merchant caravan that had been attacked, thinking of talking about Queen and Cruz-kun’s matter, the people of the merchant caravan called out to me. It seems that the person who looked to be the caravan leader came to express his gratitude.

「Thanks to you guys, no one died, thank you. Let me properly pay the cost of the potions.」

Our reinforcements, or rather, they were originally the scouting party, but it seems that they had made it in time. In that case, Queen and the others had been correct, but that might’ve been just because they were lucky. In addition, it seems that they were going to pay for the potions that they had used. Though I would like to thank them for trying out the effectiveness of the potions and for advertising them.

Perhaps I had come at the perfect time, as I went with the flow and joined in, chatting with the leader and the others.

It seems that the merchant caravan was from a pretty large company that had a few branch stores in every large city. Of course, they had stores in the imperial capital and the harbor city, and this caravan was transporting goods to each shop. They were a large company, so they hired adventurers who had higher ranks than us as escorts and thanks to that, they were able to withstand the attack. It seems like those adventurers were injured all over, but there were no life-threatening injuries and no one died. As expected of high-ranked adventurers.

After understanding the situation, we decided to move the horse carriages. Because it would be intolerable if they were attacked by the bandits again if they kept staying in the same place. We formed a procession together with the merchant caravan that had been attacked and moved somewhat quickly. After a short break, we arrived at a place where we were able to set up camp before the sun had set.

It was a bit of a forced march, so those who had been attacked were exhausted. Because of that, the adventurers on our side were in charge of patrolling. Maa, there were a few more horse carriages than before and the things that needed to be done barely changed, but the merchants in our group were talking about taking the opportunity to make connections with a large company. If that was the case, then we should be going as well, but to be honest, we might become rivals because the shops of the large company were in the same town as ours….

「I heard about it, you guys made those potions?」

As we were preparing for dinner, the leader of a large company came over. As expected, because he was entrusted with the merchant caravan, even in this kind of situation, he couldn’t overlook a good product. We did not use the potions on just the escort adventurers, but the bandits as well, so the effectiveness was verified. Incidentally, we used low-ranked potions on the bandits and did the minimum, just healing their injuries. We did the same for the bandits who we encountered previously and it was a case where there was a monetary reward, and there was a possibility that they would be sold as criminal slaves. More than anything, this time, they were a member of the bandit group that had been causing trouble in this area. If things went well, then we might be able to find their hideout. In addition, I was opposed to killing people….

And, it seems that he had his eye on the potions that had high effectiveness, so he came over. I wanted to have the merchant group handle this, but because they needed to confirm the inventory of the potions as well, I went with them. Maa, there was a mountain of them in my「Item Box」, so we could sell as much as we wanted, but this time, we had to sell them to the shops in the dungeon city that we heard about, so please excuse us for only selling a moderate amount.

The discussion with the large company continued, and the topic turned to the bandits. They said that it was Queen and the others who defeated them, so we had the priority over them. However, Queen and the others did as they liked, and the other adventurers had a hand in it as well, so it was not good to monopolize it. However, as expected of a large company, they told us about a good solution. Though I said that, it was simple. Probably, we would be questioned at the border town, or rather, they would ask us various questions about the bandits, and the process would take a few days, so during that time, we would treat them to food and alcohol. It was something like the so-called sharing of happiness? The nearby adventurers who were listening to our conversation with perked ears were happy, so we decided to go with that idea.
