Chapter Sixteen: The Two-Headed, Black Dog

We headed to the town that the weapon shop owner had told us about.

The village was called Riyute. It seemed like a good place to base our operations. There was only one inn there though, and a room went for one piece of silver. A travelling merchant visited once every other day, and he would buy loot from us if he needed it.

There was no apothecary, but the townsfolk wanted medicine, so I could sell my wares there, but at a lower price than in Castle Town.

If the quality wasn’t good they were sure to complain.

My reputation had preceded me. Even still, if the townsfolk seemed ready to do something stupid, I’d have to introduce them to my balloons.

Anyway, I went to the shop to sell some loot that we’d earned in the area around town.

“So… That’s what I got.”

“That’s it?”

He paid me a few pieces of silver, and I begrudgingly accepted them.

He bought them for a good enough price, but it still wasn’t enough.

“Isn’t there a faster way to get money?”

“Why, you need something?”

Didn’t he know that I was the Shield Hero? Either that, or he already knew but was pretending not to. That would give him some sort of advantage over me.

“Well then, there is a coal mine on the outskirts of town. If you got some ore from there, you could probably sell it for a good price.”

“Oh yeah?”

“Yeah. If you can figure out how to get it out of there, you’ll make a good chunk of change.”

“… Why don’t other people do it then?”

If it was so easy, the place should have been crawling with prospectors.

“Before the waves of destruction came, it was pretty popular. But now the place is filled with dangerous monsters.”

“I see.”

“I don’t know what our adventurers, knights, or the summoned Heroes are doing. But hey… I guess that’s what you should expect from an abandoned mine.”

This story was getting good. A coal mine, huh? If I could score some ore there, I’d get a good amount of money for it.

“There are some rare types of ore there, if you can find them. They will sell for a good price.”

“Really? Thanks for the heads up.”

In truth, I didn’t believe him entirely, but I still wanted to check out the mine.

“… Where are we going today?”

Raphtalia was shivering in fear as she asked.

“We’re going to a nearby mine.”

“Okay…”

“Apparently there are dangerous monsters in there. You better stay close, in case we have to run away.”

“Okay!”
