Another: Memory of Another World

Ch. 44 Gustav the merchant

Antares and Steve decided to help the girl, after listening to her long and wide details. At the same time, Antares confirmed the truth of the story through the Book of Truth. So, he decided that petrifying this girl would not have a bad impact on Antares for now. After all, they are good people.

"Dad, I brought help!" Shouted the girl with her hands waving loudly in the air.

"Geelyn!" A middle-aged man standing at the very back of the formation. He has a large body with a distended stomach. In the Antares perspective, the muscles in his body tend to be flaccid while his brain neurons appear to be very active. His eyes glazed over as soon as he saw Steve who looked strong. He seems not surprised by the existence of Noir next to Antares.

It all consisted of 15 guards, judging by the leather armor they were wearing. It seems to be a caravan that is only run by one person/family. Moreover, there were some corpses that appeared to be wearing makeshift clothes, perhaps they were the bandits the girl had said before. There were also some horse-drawn carts around.

"Oh, master of adventure, thank you for your help. I will definitely give you a reward that suits your services."

Steve just nodded with a serious face. He immediately took a bow from his back, pulled the strings, then released 5 magical arrows that instantly killed the monsters in a moment.

"OOHHH!" Everyone called out unconsciously.

"Dad!" The girl named Emelyn immediately ran into her father's arms, and hugged him tightly. The occasional sobbing sounded from his mouth.

"Thank God you're okay, Emelyn. You've done a great job, thank you." Said the middle-aged man while stroking Emelyn's head.

"Also, once again I say thank you, rescue lord. If you don't help, maybe we'll end up being the Moonlight Wolf's meal." Said the man, then ordered his servants to collect the items.

Moonlight Wolf, a wolf-type monster level 21-23. Very fast, and works in groups.

"No need to hesitate, we just happened to be near here. No need to bother at all. What happened to the bandits?"

"Ah, most of them escaped once the wolves turned their attention to us."

"No, I understand. By the way, do you guys also want to go to Rimun town?"

"Right, we came from a town in the west to sell certain items in Rimun. After all, the annual war will start soon, so I try my luck here. Ah, my name is Bernard Gustav, and this is my daughter Emelyn Gustav."

"I'm Steve Emmanuel, and this is Antares Oliviera. Greetings to Bernard."

"Oh, I see you guys are focused on selling weapons and fighting equipment. Is that for the militia?" Antares finally asked after seeing some people move boxes full of iron and leather.

"True, it's one of our items as well. In addition, we also sell potions and food for the general public. Ah, for example, the honey over there we got from the village of Hage, which was taken from wild bees. It tastes so sweet but does not make it sweet. Honey is very popular with you upper class either as a variety of jam, tea mixture, or beauty medicine." Bernard said while pointing at the box containing large jugs that were tightly closed. "Honestly, I'm very grateful that the honey was not destroyed in the monster attack."

"Is that so? The habits of the upper classes are strange." Steve commented lightly.

"Not really, after all appearances are everything to them. You know, their main value is good name as well as honor. Come here, you can choose one or two items as a sign of gratitude and friendship from me. You can also choose one of the Antares." He said with a warm smile.

It reminds me of the beauty medicine that often circulates in the modern world. No matter what era, people do not change. Besides, isn't he a good talk? Friendship said? heh hehehe's. // Antares tailed behind both parents with stoic faces possible.

We see all kinds of stuff. Ranging from wheat and potatoes, to cloth and leather armor. Jewelry and gold, as well as various other varieties. Everything can be purchased in the shop in the range of 1-3 points only, in other words less than 3000 pieces of gold. After all, the shop provides the best quality goods at premium prices.

There are some but not that interesting. // Antares picks up a red wristband with a unique design. This was just an ordinary item, yet it was quite expensive as it was made from the skin of a high-end monster. But not that expensive until someone will feel a loss when Antares take it. Meanwhile, Steve picks up a large barrel filled with liquor.

"Again, thank you for your help, Steve's grandfather. Oh yeah, why don't we go to Rimun together? We're close to the city anyway."

"Hm, of course. The more people the more fun."

Then the two men laughed loudly for a while.

Antares shook his head, then sat under a tree waiting for the caravan to finish its preparations. Noir also spread his body beside the child, letting Antares stroke his head.

"Are you tired, Antares?" a girl asked in a soft voice.

"Not really, not really, are you free Emelyn?"

"May I sit down?" Emelyn waited for Antares' approval before she sat down next to the boy. "You know, I'm not very talented at business. So, I'm just coming along to fulfill my father's request."

"Is that something you can just tell me? But, I believe you're braver than I am."

"Ahaha, what are you saying. I'm sure everyone who carries a sword around his waist, and a monster walking next to him can be said to be brave. Are you an adventurer too?"

"No, I'm going to open a restaurant in town. After all, I have parents to keep an eye on."

Emelyn saw Antares glancing in a certain direction and the girl immediately understood his point.

"really? I'll look forward to your cooking in the future. Do you already have a permit from the Trading Guild?"

"No, I've never even been to the city. You know, I always spend my time in the village."

"Did your village also disappear with the 1001 night event? You know, at first we went this way smoothly until nightfall. Once we woke up, the area around us was already a jungle! I was so scared at that time! I thought we entered the forbidden area by accident!" Emelyn looked very excited

Yeah, I know exactly how that feels. Who is the cause behind it. // Antares mouth corner twitches violently.

"Then how can you check your current position?"

"Ah, the adventure team we hired had the Cleric in it, who got the revelation of the goddess of Light."

"That's it.." Cleric, ha…

(connecting.).
