Chapter 69: Selling Pepper
Stuffed bags with a large amount of pepper.
There's quite a substantial amount.
It's more than I can use here.
While stuffing the bags, Sui,
"Achoo!"
Seems like Sui inhaled pepper through the nose.
"Achoo! It won't stop. I can't stop sneezing!"
"When you inhale pepper through the nose, you sneeze. It'll stop soon."
"It's delicious when you eat it, but I let my guard down. I'm worried that if I'm alone and keep sneezing like this..."
"It's alright; it'll stop."
"Pepper can also be used as an item to induce sneezing, you know? What if we give it to monsters during battle? Sneezing will weaken them."
"Hahaha, using pepper in battle is an interesting idea. Let's think about it. Then Sui can stay home."
"Yes... It's itching."
"Mofurun, give me a ride. Take me to the town I know."
"As you wish."
While Sui was left at home and still feeling uneasy,
Mofurun transformed into a wolf-like monster.
No matter how many times you look at it, it's imposing and scary.
Letting it walk through the town like this would be extremely dangerous.
People would panic.
As we started running, Mofurun was fast, making sure not to drop the bag of pepper.
"Achoo!"
"Achoo!"
As Mofurun increased its speed, it seemed that the pepper had entered Mofurun's nose.
It was sneezing while running.
Even a legendary monster couldn't win against pepper.
------
We continued running for a while.
I could tell that my land was on the outskirts.
There were many desolate lands around.
I didn't meet anyone, and there were no towns.
No highways or roads, just running on dry soil.
"Master, what you see over there is Shadow Town. I didn't show myself in the town, but I observed it from a distance. The town isn't very large, but there's traffic of carriages and people coming and going. There might be merchants too."
"Thank you, Mofurun."
