Ore no Osananajimi wa Joshikousei de Yuusha Chapter 44

In the castle town of Ivan, there is the symbolic white Ivan Castle in the north. The town spread out left and right from the brick-paved central street that came from that castle. Right in its center there was a market crowded with stalls and peddlers and a gigantic fountain equipped with a magic device. Branch roads radiated out from there in all directions.
From above, the town looked like a cut-up pizza.

The town was surrounded by the massive walls protecting it that doesn’t let monsters or trespassers through.
In order to enter you need to pass through checkpoints.

The south part is heavy on the trade institutions and as you go further north it turns more and more into housing.

Moreover, as you get closer to the Ivan castle, you will see libraries, art galleries, theaters, cathedrals, and also the elite housing districts where the residences of government officials and high ranking knights live are. Though the common folk don’t come near the place in their daily lives.

“… so, you should be able to understand it this way”

“Yeah, you made it quite easy to understand. Gracias,” I said, to which Mist smiled.

“If it’s the castle town, I think you can just about get anything”

“I guess so…. Since we’re putting tableware off until later, we should first go for magic cores, then some change of clothes”

“Also, unless we don’t go and fetch fruits and hardbread, we’ll be in trouble once the shops close”

“Conveni?”
“A store in my world that stocks everything. It opens all day and doesn’t close even in the middle of the night”

After all this while, I can tell Mist everything honestly.

Mist thought I was joking when she first heard, but she’s seen the power of te E:ID phone, so she quickly believed me.
… well, the smartphone is a piece of rather overly advanced technology even in my original world, after all.

“Hmm…, won’t the person keeping the shop die like that?”

While having small chat with Mist, I finally reached the central market.

Around them there are bustling crowds of people jammed together like there was some kind of event.

I now understood why Mist said ‘we should go to the market while our load is still light’ on the way here.

Well, I could just put them away in the E:ID phone, though.

“Come, let’s go!”

We headed towards our destination shop by parting the sea of people, which was almost like a full body slam attack.

“Sheesh!! Even though I could easily pass through if I turned into mist”

“Nah, you better not. What about your clothes after that? You’re not going to go shopping naked are you?”

I only wanted to make a little retort, but Mist reacted more than I imagined.

“No, well, your clothes come off when you turn into mist, right? and you can’t go shopping while you’re in mist form, right? That means you’re going to have to go shopping stark naked”

For an instant, Mist put her hands to her cheeks and took a deep breath, hooh.

“Stupid—!!! N, n, no way I’m doing that!!”

“Not going to do that, definitely won’t! Naked! What the hell! No way I’m doing that!”

She made so much of a ruckus the other passers-by looked at us, wondering what happened.

“It’s cause Yuu-kun thinks up something stupid! Ah, geez, aaaah!! It’s embarrassing!!”

“Right, shopping, hurry!! We were going to go shopping!! Come on, let’s go, hurry!!”

In any case, I had to chase after her so I don’t lose sight of her.

†

While Mist and Yuuki were going through seven hells in the crowd of people.

Buildings in these parts were built in rectangular shapes so they had wide roofs and made positions that were invisible from directly below.

They each locked on to Yuuki with small spyglasses.

“Looks just as unusual as we heard. There’s no mistaking it”
They said to each other.

“I was wondering what kind of guy could take down Isky’s son”

The men smiled.

“It’ll be a pain if she made a fuss. We’ll deal with her as well”

“Let’s move,” said the men as they stood up to chase after Yuuki.

He then chanted, ” ‘Millifly’ ” to a magic core he brought right as he was about to collide with the ground. He then floated and landed safely.

“Oy, it’s safe!”

…….

“…… hm?”

“Oy, what’s wrong? Get a move on!!”

The small something fell to the ground with a clunk sound.

“What’re you doing!? We’re going to lose him!”

“…?”

Another stone fell down.

The next stone.

Suspecting something unusual, the man picked up the branch-like stone.
Then stones came raining down, each in different shapes and sizes.

Just when the man noticed they were ‘human bones‘, a skull hit the ground with a clonk and cracked.

“Eeek!!?”
The man, who lived a life outside of human morals, became frightened and paled at the sudden downpour of bones.

“Oh my, I’m so sorry”
There was a young girl in maid clothes holding a broom and dustpan.

It was Arina.

“I didn’t know there was a person below. I have to properly make sure when cleaning trash”

“T, trash… !?”

“Yes, that’s right. If we don’t properly separate trash, they’re going to become a problem later. See, people in this world still don’t know about these things…. This is noncombustible trash, and….”

It was filled with something liquid-ish, it jiggles when she struck it.

“This is organic trash♪”

The man faintly realized.

What the contents of the jiggly bag is.

And ‘to whom’ those bones and the bag’s contents belonged.

“Ah, that’s right! This looks like it can still be used, Please take it if you like. It’s called ‘reuse’, you know what it means?”

The clothes of the man he talked to just moments earlier.

The man trembled in fear, and Arina said to him,

She then put her hand on her face and made a troubled look.
“Arina ran out of trash bags. Arina’s bad with planning”

She made a broad grin.

“So to not create more trash, please pay attention and answer properly, okay? Who’s the one making you do this? And for what reason are you watching Yuu-kun?”
