The Best Assassin, Incarnated into a Different World's Aristocrat-Chapter 28: Assassin Goes Shopping

Translator: AxtrixiaSilver

PR/Editor: Identity & Snow Sakura

We were heading to the commercial city of Merteu by carriage.

It took a whole day by horse-drawn carriage from Touahades.

However, since it took so much time, it was slightly unreasonable.

The two-horse carriage and the good horses that were funded by Irg were well used, the horses having been exchanged in the relay city.

In addition, medical magic was used to enhance the physical strength and self-healing power of the horses.

It would still take half a day from here.

“Lugh, isn’t it faster to run than to ride a horse-drawn carriage?”

“It’d be impossible for us, but I think Lugh will be somehow if you pull him.”

“Talt’s right, you can’t do it.”

When I went to Dia’s place the other day, Talt had turned to the wind but if I were to keep up with the load of 【Super Recovery】, I would be able to get there much faster than a horse-drawn carriage.

It’s not possible, but it’s too conspicuous. There would be a lot of luggage on the return trip, so it was better to have a carriage.

“Then it can’t be helped. When we get there, we’ll have a date.”

Even Dia spoke sweetly and leaned back.

According to Dia, it was natural for a sister to be spoiled by her brother and this kind of skinship seemed reasonable.

Talt looked envious.

By the way, the reason I keep calling it Dia is because her name on the new family register is Claudia.

Claudia abbreviated to Dia. It was a coincidence, but it was both easy to say and remember..

“If you want to go shopping, go on a date. You have to buy a knight school-designated item. Did you read the letter?”

“Yeah, I read it but there are many things that I don’t recognize or don’t know how to use.”

Dia took out the list while saying this.

The letter had reached the 14 year old aristocrat by magic power.

The knight school entrance permit had to be brought in order to enter.

“You’re very kind, aren’t you?”

“Well… Just in case, I’ll call the nobles by force and I’ll give you this much consideration. I’m not sure whether this is a game or not, however, the weapons of choice are swords.”

“Speaking of which, I’ve never seen Lugh wave a sword.”

“Knives and guns are my area of expertise. And in Talt’s case, it’s spears.”

“I’m not good with swords nor do I like them.”

I said this, not knowing what I would want to unify with a sword.

It would be troublesome to teach students different weapons individually.

A sword was good since it was easy to handle and could be wielded in all kinds of situations.

“Um… Lugh, would it be good for me to go to school too?”

“Of course, I want you to stay by my side, Talt. I need you.”

“…I’m so happy. I’m really, really happy. I’ll do my best!”

Anyone in the general public could apply to the Knight Academy, as long as they possessed magical power.

Moreover, nobles were allowed to bring a single servant with them, and they were permitted to take classes with their lords.

ForTalt’s situation, entry into the school was granted through both general and employee applications, but there were various ways to apply for the latter.

“Wow, you dropped a girl like this by Lugh, right?”

“… I didn’t mean it that way.”

“I’m not blaming you, although I’m taller so I’m hoping to have Lugh.”

Then, I will speed up the carriage’s speed.

Let’s pray that there will be no trouble at Merteu.

◇

We arrived at the city.

This is the first time that I came to this city as Lugh.

Previously, as Irg Valor, I disguised myself by dying my hair to black, changing my face and voice, and wearing glasses. Now though, I was the real me.

That’s why no one noticed me even though I was a celebrity as Irg.

I knew a few people, and it was quite amusing that they didn’t recognize me.

“Let’s take a look at the athletic wear first.”

As I looked back, Dia was nowhere to be seen.

Talt smirked bitterly, then told me she was over there.

“Lugh, what’s this?”

Dia was engrossed in the sweets that were sold in the stalls.

Dia started to drool from her mouth. Cute.

The dough was topped with plenty of honey and then baked with fruit jam in a pan.

? It smelled very sweet and aromatic from the honey being baked.

“It’s a popular treat from Merteu called barta. You can choose your favorite jam and it tastes pretty good!”

“Yes, I have to eat it… Hmmm. All right. I’ll choose the loquats jam.” (Dia)

“Which kind of jam do you like, Talt?” (Lugh)

“Well, I would like apricots.” (Talt)

“Uncle. Blueberry, loquats, and apricots, please.” (Lugh)

“Here ya go. Brother, yer can’t go on a date with two beautiful girls like this.”

“You’re jealous, aren’t you?”

“Oh, I envy you so much, I’ll do it like this!”

While I laughed jokingly, the street stall uncle laughed vigorously as he heaped the jams in the baked bartta. f𝘳𝚎𝐞we𝐛𝑛𝐨𝘃e𝘭.co𝘮

It would be benefitting his own business. Paying the cheap price, I have them to Dia and Talt.

“Thank you, Lugh.”

“I’m sorry that I reminded you.”

“No, it’s good, plus it’s cheap and I was hungry.”

I bit into the bartta.

The honeyed dough was not overly sweet, it had a moist texture even after being baked, with the jam spilling out when the first bite was taken.

As the dough was sweet, the jam seemed to be made with reduced sugar and there was a pleasant acidity. It was not difficult to eat.

It seemed that jam had a special twist besides this.

Otherwise, the blueberry personality was not so clear.

There were many bartta stalls, but not many shops were like this. Let’s remember.

I wanted to leave this stall owner to a store instead of stand. Now, let’s suggest this to Valor.

“It’s delicious! I thought there was quite a lot of this, but I seemed to eat it with enthusiasm.”

“Yes, I am surprised as well. I want to know how to make this jam. It is much more delicious than the one I make, which is a little disappointing.”

“I was surprised too. It might be the best bartta in Merteu.”

“Hey, Lugh, give me a bite of your blueberry jam, it looks delicious.” (Dia)

“If you let me take a bite of your loquat one.” (Lugh)

“Oh, if you want to exchange, please share with me too.” (Talt)

We exchanged each bartta one by one. The loquats and apricots weren’t bad.

……And the fact that I ate them with Dia and Talt gave me greater happiness than the taste.

Just then, I noticed the surrounding people gazing at us.

Doing this with two beautiful girls, we definitely stood out.

(T/N: hahah Cliche Man im so lonely i wish i was lugh rn *cries in sleep*)

The stares have become more painful each time, so we should be more careful next time we went.

◇

After we finished our meal, we continued shopping while looking at the stalls.

I hadworked for two years at the Valor company in this town and the major stores have stayed consistent to a certain extent.

(T/N: Hmm I think this is right can’t remember if anyone can help me look back itll be great this is when they met marha and had his 1st mission as another person when I find out the name again I’ll change it)

I bought the highest quality things.

Do not skimp on tools. Stitching tools slows down the acquisition of technology, you will lose something more important than money.

“It seems that the clothes and hem will be finished in the evening.”

“But I was able to buy something good.”

“I think it is a good thing, but after all, if it is easy to move, it is better to always wear.”

The usual saying is the costume of assassination of Touahade.

That is a Touahade’s Mystery, one that cannot be exposed to the public.

“I don’t have any complaints about the performance, but it’s a little embarrassing.”

“There isn’t anything to be ashamed of, is there? Dia’s body is as pretty and attractive as a fairy.”

It was not flattery. Although her chest is small and the back was not much higher, she did not have a child-like physique.

She had a model body shape that many women would be jealous of.

“Thanks. But it’s not that I don’t have any confidence in my body, it’s just embarrassing to be seen by you.”

“There is no other way. If you demand ease of movement, that’s what you will get.”

It could not be helped.

In particular, what I had purchased this time was a stretchable material that had finally become available, so I guessed that Dia was shy.

“Can I have some time for my own business later, Mr. Lugh? I want to buy something.”

“That is fine, but what?”

“It is u-underwear. It is harder to wear when it gets bigger, and it’s harder to get and it’s better quality.”

….. Is she still growing?

I felt sure it was just my imagination that Dia’s eyes went cold.

And then we came to the last store of the day.

I came to buy the required sword from the list.

It was nothing but waste to buy a sword, although you couldn’t use a titanium alloy sword.

It was possible to make a sword from iron alone, but it would be strange for it to be completely pure.

If you were looking for a sword made of natural materials, then you should buy a sword that had impurities mixed in it, especially if you were willing to spend a lot of time on it.

So, I used the Valor Corporation’s information network to enter a shop with swords made by skilled craftsmen.

As soon as I entered, my gaze fell upon a weapon.

It was like an eye-catching prize.

“This is not a shop selling kid’s toys. Go home… No, you’re not just a kid. I’ll sell them to you. You two over there, kids at your age are just terrible users.”

A man in his mid-thirties with a sharp mouth and eyes laughed at me.

I had heard that he was choosy about his customers, but hadn’t expected him to go this far.

“Thanks, I don’t care if you sell them to me.This is the girl I’m training from now on.”

“No problem. The child is also trained between the second and first class. If you train, you can swing my sword.”

…… I can’t say, I can’t tell this uncle.

If you put it such a cool demeanor, and you get treated like that, you won’t be able to sell your sword.

In the end, wielding a better sword in the actual battle for class in school would give a better performance.

“Thank you. Let me choose.”

I chose the three swords.

There was a sword that had the length of an arm and body.

It was more important than performance. Taking into account several things to meet the conditions, I scrutinized the sword’s quality.

The swords were chosen and Dia and Talts wielded them lightly.

“Oh, this is easy to swing.”

“I like it too.”

“…No, I don’t have a grip. It is better to change the material of the grip to a soft one and have it wound around it in a thinner layer. Can you do this for us?”

“Oh, I was about to suggest the same thing. I’m glad that you understand.”

The owner of the weapon shop unravelled the grip on the handle and rolled onthe softer material quickly and carefully.

“This is it. What’s the price?……”

The price he told us was more than twice that of a normal sword.

For this sword, it was reasonable.

I took out my wallet from my pocket and paid.

“Thank you. I made a good purchase.”

“Oh, I was able to meet a nice customer. Come again. You’re welcome, you know.”

I nodded and left.

I thought I knew everything about Murteu, but there seemed to be a shopkeeper who was still interesting.

It was important to walk on your own feet.

Three young men were walking over there.

One of them was obviously rich.……… His whole body looked like that of a special existence.

In a big voice, he told the other two that he would buy a sword suitable for himself. I see, so you came to this shop where there is a master craftsman.

They were probably a combination of high status rich person and two guards.

(T/N: Mmm I think in know where this is headed *cough* Dia and Talt its a cliche ofc)

I didn’t want to get too involved. This type of person was common in aristocrat families, and they

usually caused trouble.

(T/N: at least he has senses)

When the Bonbon saw Talt and Dia, the color of his eyes changed, and he breathed roughly through his nose. Moreover, his crotch had enlarged.

Anyone could understand what came next.

Even if I said I was a Touahade, he would try to take Dia and Talt away by forcing them to say they’re the barons.

……The back face could only be used for intimidation, known only by the royal family, and even if I explained my position and connection as a doctor to the face at the front, he would not have the intelligence to understand.

In an argument, you wouldn’t be able to win because of the difference in position, and if you put your hand out, it will become a problem later.

Then what should I do?

Pick the buds of trouble before it grows.

The Bonbon with an expanded groin fell down in the front.

I had shot a bullet into the air and punched out his jaw and rocked his brain.

I hid the heightened magical power until the moment it was activated with a little ingenuity and trick, I could reap consciousness from the blind spot.

If he tried to take them away and did something like this, he would be doubted by circumstantial evidence, but there is no problem if he loses consciousness before that.

“He suddenly collapsed.What was that?”

“It’s hot these days, isn’t it heatstroke?”

I cannot say whether the two of them were saved or in danger.

It is an obstacle to enjoy this city.

“We’ve finished shopping. What are you going to do now?” (Dia)

“We booked a room at an inn. You should take a rest today and take a sightseeing trip with Talt tomorrow, I have something to do.” (Lugh)

“Oh, I see. A local wife?”

“…It’s not like that.”

I couldn’t deny that I was meeting with Marha, but that was not my only purpose.

“Hmm. I understand. Talt was in this town with Lugh.”

“Yes, I know plenty of good shops, so please count on me.”

“Yeah, I’m looking forward to it.”

“It seems that Talt and Dia understand completely.”

By the way, I was going to meet Marha because I had heard that she finally got one of the Sacred Treasures.

……I was genuinely happy to have a powerful weapon.

But… I was more interested in the information I could obtain by examining the Sacred Treasures. If I could analyze it, I might even be able to make the Sacred Treasures by my own hands.
