Chapter 277: East, West, South and North

"Oyaoya? This Victor didn't know that Satou had such a hobby"


Victor approaches with a disgusting smile. If you look at him, you can see Mago and other merchants.


"Is it a famous book?"


"The author is unknown, but it's a picture book that has existed before I was born"


"Maybe――"


"Odono-sama"


When Yuu said something, he saw Namari screaming and running over here. In addition, while being pulled by Namari, there was also a simple figure of a fallen devil.


"What happened?"


"Emm, it's Kantan to request Odono-sama to come"


Kantan is by nature dumb, but he hangs from his neck through a string on a board that he can fill in as many times as he wants. Kantan writes 「I'm done」 on the board and raises it toward Yuu.


"What did you do?"


Not only Victor but also Mago and other merchants are curious about what Yuu asks for a young child.


"Who says"


For some reason, Victor seems happy with Yuu's untidy attitude.


"Kantan, look"


Prompted by Namari, Kantan presents a bundle of paper to Yuu. Yuu confirms a bundle of paper while hiding it from Victor and the merchants who are trying to peep.


"Kantan, well done. Think about what the reward is"


Vermilion is put on the cheek of Kantan´s expression. Namari happily banzai, saying, 「Odono-sama is praising you!」.


"Satou-sama, could you show it to this Victor?"


"1 million Madoka"


"I will pay"


It was an immediate answer. After saying that, Yuu regrets. He had forgotten the merchants' sharp sense of smell about money. Not only Victor has already taken out gold coins but also Mago and the other merchants.


"Hooho. I can't say that Yuu-sama didn't do it now"


"Mago, this Victor has the same feeling"


"We have exactly the same idea"


Yuu is fed up with the exchanges of those stinky merchants.


"Look"


"Muhohoo. The secret that Satou-sama is pleased with is on this paper――what......"


Victor, who usually has a funny attitude, squints his eyes and becomes sharp eyed.


"This is......a map of Udon Kingdom"


"B, But I've never seen such a precise map......"


"A map like this, such a child!?"


Kantan has a unique skill 『Surveying』. Residents of the Nameless Kingdom were a skill they didn't even look at, but Yuu found the rare value of that skill. After all, in some countries, maps are state secrets and it is not uncommon for people from other countries to be accused of just possessing a map. Maps sold to commoners are simplified and important military bases are not intentionally listed. Senior military personnel and some merchants understood how valuable and important a precise map was.


"Satou-sama, this one――"


"I won't sell"


Yuu refuses before Victor finishes speaking.


"Nuhahaa. I was told earlier. Do you have a map of another country?"


"I wonder. Kantan, these gold coins are the price of the map you made, but it's too big to give to a child like you. I'll give it to your parents later. Or do you want me to give it to you?"


The gold coins received from the merchants are on the palm of Yuu's right hand. In front of the gold coins, Kantan shakes his head vigorously.


"I'm sorry. If you change your mind, please speak to this Victor"


"Hooho, don't steal a march on us"


"That's right. If you can sell it to me, I promise to add more than others"


"Wahahaa. I'm jealous of Satou-sama's popularity"


The faces of the merchants who restrained each other while chatting were laughing, but their eyes were not laughing.


"You guys are noisy"


"Isn't Satou-sama offended because everyone is greedy?"


「Don't you say」, the merchants curse Victor in their hearts.


"By the way, the number of people working in this port has increased considerably. What is the current population of the Nameless Kingdom?"


Victor asks, playing with his beard with his fingertips.


"I don't know because I haven't counted"


"Fuhahaa. That shouldn't be the case for Satou-sama. It's about time――"


"I wouldn't buy civil engineering or water and sewage technology"


Yuu said he wouldn't buy what Victor was about to sell.


"Hou....... Why is that so? There are many countries where water and sewage systems are not yet widespread. Most of the countries that are fully equipped are classified for fear of technology leakage to other countries. However, let's promise that this Victor will be able to sell those basic technologies to the Nameless Kingdom!"


"I already have it"


Victor solidifies with his open arms.


"I was surprised at this. I don't think there were that many engineers in the Nameless kingdom"


Victor tries to get information from Yuu in a funny way, but Yuu keeps his mouth closed and doesn't answer.


"Fuhuu. The story changes, but do you know Almetas Kingdom? In that country, there is a man who excels in civil engineering technology enough to make his name known to other countries, but his only son is young. He said he was sometimes attacked by a monster and injured his leg. It's not uncommon to be attacked by a monster and injured by it, but the problem was after that. When he was injured, his parents I think were in a hurry to find a solution. They rushed to heal their important son that they seemed to forcibly connect his torn legs with a portion, which caused his leg bones to remain bent and hindered him walking. It seems that there are some aftereffects left. No, it's a pitiful story. But it's a strange story and according to wind rumors, the child has recently become able to walk again"


Yuu glares at Victor, who grins.


"You're noisy"


"Mumuu. Satou-sama, what's wrong? If there is something that doesn't reach this Victor, please feel free to tell me"


"Be quiet"


"Fuhahaa. Satou-sama, it seems that there is still time until the deal with the Morbel Kingdom. That's why you will show me the interesting things you mentioned before"


"Hou, you can't abandon us"


"Of course, we can show it to you, too"


Unusually, Victor looks at the merchants with an unpleasant look.


"Marifa"


"Immediately"


Marifa, who stands by Yuu´s side, knows, if not all, that she immediately gives instructions to those around her and tables and chairs are immediately available.


"Do you know what this is?"


Yuu arranges a number of ores on the table. The faces of the merchants become steep in front of fist-sized ores such as blue, green and purple. Of course, the merchants here have the 『Appraisal』 skill, but all the ores in front of them were the first to see them.


"Is this the first time you see these ores?"


Yuu smiles at the merchants who can't hide their surprises.


"From here, deep blue stones, deep sea stones, iron sea stones and sea magic stones. All of them are ores that cannot be taken without diving to the bottom of the sea. Do you know that? The deep sea is a treasure trove that no one has touched. There must be a labyrinth that no one has ever entered"


"Sa......Satou-sama has a way to dive to the bottom of the sea?"


"Do you know what a submarine is? It's a ship that can dive into the sea"


Can't they imagine a ship that can dive into the sea? The merchants remain uniformly open.


"Satou-sama, please sell these ores!!"


One of the merchants runs through.


"It's going to be impossible. I can't get that many"


"Th, This Victor. Satou-sama! Is it possible to put this Victor on the submarine!!"


It was Victor who was unthinkably distraught from his usual appearance. But――


"It's no good!"


"It seems so!!"


"We are first"


"It's sequential order"


"If you're not careful despite being human, this is it"


"It's scary to miss our Pixie's turn"


Before you know it. Around Yuu, children and Pixies were gathering when they came.


"Victor, there's only one submarine and it's not that big, so the number of people who can ride is limited. And――go away"


Yuu drives away the countless spirits that fly around him.


"And the submarine is still unfinished and can't be moved satisfactorily without the cooperation of the wind and water spirits. And even though they don't cooperate, the fire and earth spirits also want to see the deep sea. Namari and the others are too noisy and tired"


"Na, Namari-chan, if you like, this Victor――"


"Not good!!"


"The kids there, buy anything――"


"""No!!"""


Victor was distraught, astonishingly with the people around him opening their eyes.


(I want to see......I want to see, I want to see, I want to see, I want to see! I want to see a scene that no one has ever seen! No matter how much money I put up!)


No matter how much Victor shouts in his heart, no matter how much he wants, it can't be helped with money.


"Let's talk about another interesting story? I'm thinking of making an airship someday"


"Hooho, is it a ship that flies in the sky, as you can guess from its name?"


"Yes, that's why I want to go to the 『Sky Castle』 in the east"


"Fuhuhuu....... Is it a castle floating in the sky?"


Victor, whose hair is still messed up, asks himself with a self-deprecation as to whether his money can still help.


"Yes. You know there are celestial beings and bird-type beastmen living on an island in the sky, right? There seems to be a labyrinth there"


"I know about floating islands, but when it comes to castles aside from labyrinths......"


He smiles at the merchant who speaks suspiciously, asking the merchants around him to agree.


"Absolutely"


"Have you ever seen a castle in the sky?"


"No. I sent a bird-type servant, but he died before he got there"


"Hooho, then why can you say that there is one?"


"It would be strange if there was no 『Sadem of Nothing』in the eastern mountains in the north, 『Supreme Ruler Drim』in the Grimm Castle in the west, 『Moose of the Flame』in the Great Prison Flame World in the south, and 『Sky Castle』in the east"


Why did Yuu suddenly name the names of the three great demon kings? The merchants couldn't keep up with their thoughts.


"It's about time. Let's meet the Morbel Kingdom"


Marifa and the children chased Yuu as he left his seat.
