1-6. The Marketplace, the Princess and the Slave Trade
Kyra’s here. It’s Kazuki but I’m Kyra. This is a dream right? Please say that this is a dream, Johny.

A slight unrest began to arise inside my mind, when I went shopping on the earl’s territory metropolitan, Seryuu city.
It’s a few minutes walk to the east of Martha’s mother inn.
Come to think of it, I haven’t heard the name of the inn, the map says Monzen Inn; is that it?
Immediately after entering a series of food stalls, I smell something good.
Eh? Isn’t this the smell of soy sauce?
Okonomiyaki and crepes are being baked on an iron plate. The seasoning seems to be soy sauce. Just as I thought, it’s fine to call this a dream. There’s no way soy sauce exists in a fantasy!
Even though I’ve just had a meal, I buy one of them.
“Yep, it’s delicious.”
I want pork cutlet sauce rather than soy sauce. The other stalls seems to be frying something that looks like croquettes. What a high food culture for a fantasy!
I’m going around various stalls, trying various foods.
“How much is this gabo for 3 serving?”
“It’s 2 Pennies.”
“Expensive, isn’t it 1 penny?”
“young maam, like that, we couldn’t eat then; How about 2 pennies for 4 then?”
“Give me 5 for 2.”
“It can’t be helped, since young maam’s a beauty, I’ll give in.”
I listened to some interesting conversation between an aunty and a food stall owner. Haggling basic eh? Since I’m accustomed with just buying what’s written on the price tag, it looks difficult.

“Anything I can help, young man?”
Fumu, from the conversation earlier a gabo seems to be about 0.4-0.5 pennies a pop. Since this uncle has arithmetic skill, he should’ve been able to calculate the minimum amount.
“I want to buy 2 gabo, is it alright with 1 penny?”
“You’ve heard the conversation just now eh? It’s alright then. Young man have arithmetic skill too right. You’re pretty good for such young man.”
It’s just a normal mental arithmetic though…
I got 2 gabo fruit for 1 penny. Gabo is actually a fist-sized red pumpkin fruit. Incidentally, penny is an oblong shaped coin weighing about 1 gram, it’s a yellow-ish copper coin with high impurity.

But I didn’t haggle it?
Is it because I saw the earlier haggle by the aunty?
While wondering what to do with the gabo fruit I looked around me. The stalls are all around the size of half a tatami yet there are many of them. Furthermore they’re lively.
While looking around the stalls I raised [Estimation], [Haggling], [Arithmetic], [Negotiation], and [Scamming] skills to the max level.
After strolling around for 10 minutes, I finally found my goal.
