Chereads / Potato after Death / Chapter 3 - Off To The Market

Chapter 3 - Off To The Market

When Ashito woke up he was in some kind of cart surrounded by other boxes with fruits and vegetables.

'I wonder where we're going? By all these boxes with vegetables and fruits I'd bet we're going to some sort of market.' Ashito thought as he looked around. 'Well I guess I can't really do anything, but watch since I'm a potato.'

And that's what Ashito did. As the cart continued moving Ashito looked at what they were passing by. At first they were going through the forest. 'This guy must live in a place surrounded by a forest or something like that.' Ashido thought as the cart went through the forest. When they exited the forest and went into the clearing, far away Ashido could see mountains and birds playfully flying around. It was a beautiful sight. After a while of mountains and trees the cart finally entered the city. As Ashito looked around he thought 'I've… never seen this place before… It looks… medieval. Like a world where people from a manga would be teleported to after death. Wait… Is this... another world… that I've been reincarnated into… as a… potato? That's impossible, right? Right?' but Ashito couldn't do anything. In the end he WAS a potato.

Shortly they arrived at the market, which was filled with people. Ashito had his suspicions, but what proved that he was in another world, were the human like, but animal people. And it wasn't just animals. Elfs, half-orcs, lizard people, goblins, dwarfs and gnomes filled the street. 'This is insane!' Ashito thought.

After going through the crowded street of the market they stopped and the old man started unloading his fruits and vegetables onto a wooden food stand. After unloading apples, cucumbers, strawberries and carrots the old man took the box of potatoes along with Ashito and placed it in the stand.

'So I'm gonna be sold like some common vegetable, huh. I mean I am a common vegetable, but still!' Ashito thought.

Soon many people came to the stand. It seemed the old man knew a lot of the customers and was quite popular and well known amongst the townspeople.

After a while of other potatoes being chosen, a middle aged lady the old man called "Ms. Ena" took Potato Ashito and put him in a basket. She placed him face down, so Ashito could not see what was happening. Ashito could hear her talking to other people as she continued talking and could hear her putting other items in the basket. After a while Ashito could hear her walking away from the crowd, which meant she was heading home.
