Chereads / Second Life Is For Enjoyment Only! / Chapter 11 - The Shady Deal

Chapter 11 - The Shady Deal

Salt 4 silver for 100 gm, Dry-fruits for 5 silver per 100 gram and Black pepper 7 silver per 100gm. 

I had 1 kg each. 

I just told the guy I will come back with the stuff tomorrow and left. It was indeed a pretty good deal. I had spent 1000 points for everything, meaning 10 gold. If I sell everything I will have 16 gold. That was already good enough and I would return if I don't get any better prices anywhere else.

Most profitable was salt. But the other stuff was more rare so maybe I could set my own prices with a little above what I get offered. If I use all my 50 gold, I can make a return of at least 80-90 gold, a profit of 30 gold which I can use to make more profit. But not here. This town was too small and the talk about me will be everywhere. I only need 150 and 20-30 more before I can leave. 

All in all it was much easier than I expected. With such thoughts I walked around the town a little and asked around for their prices. The evening was slowly turning into night, but the red hue in the sky above was making the small town look pretty enchanting already. 

I reached an open place, beneath a tree where a wooden bench was placed. The view of the distant mountains was pretty good so I sat down, buying a skewer from the guy who was selling it at a distance. Eating it while relaxing. I thought of watching another episode but dismissed the idea, what would have been a point to stay outside then? Besides I was not sure if others could see my skill windows or not. 

What would people of this world think if I showed them an isekai anime? Haha, that was an amusing thought. 

There wasn't much difference in the offers I got, some even offered less. I will go back to the first guy's shop. That guy had the biggest shop and looked somewhat like a good guy. 

Suddenly lost in my thought I heard sounds of women giggling nearby. I turned around and saw three girls laughing, they immediately turned around, noticing me looking their way. I didn't even notice them coming. Unlike me they were sitting on the green soft grass. All looked to be around 19-20 years old girls. 

Just as I was looking at them, two of them turned to look towards me again but noticing my gaze-still placed on them, they quickly stopped. Well.. Who was I to deny if someone seemed interested in my body? I finished the skewer and walked towards them. Seeing me approaching they started whispering among themselves and also continued giggling. 

Hikaru - Can I sit here? 

I asked, smiling at them. One just nodded while the two smiled back at me and said yes, and sure. 

I sat as close to them as possible, they didn't seem to mind. Now all four of us were in a circle. One girl with black hair had her back towards the sun, while us three were still looking at the beautiful setting sun. One girl had honey blonde hair while another beside me had short brown hair. 

Blonde - Uhm, Where are you from? Are you a traveler?

Hikaru - Yes, I came from far away lands. Here to sell things from my home.

Short haired girl - Oh, What do you sell?

Hikaru - Rare spices.. But that's just a side job. In reality-it's a secret but I will tell you fair ladies-In reality I am a rare mage.

They giggled. 

Brunette - Mages are not rare silly.. 

Blonde - There are many in the capital, 

Short haired girl - Yeah, we even have some 6-7 in this town.

Hikaru - No, no. You don't understand. I don't do those simple spells.. My magic can change people. I can make people pretty and can even remove hair or make them bigger.

The three stared at me with unbelieving eyes. Finally the blonde said, 

"Liar! There is no magic in the world that can do such a thing! Goddess Artula herself said humans are born with the curse.. Even if people cut their hair it just grows back.. Especially us girls."

"Look here.." I said and then used my Universal Editor skill to change my pitch black hair to honey blonde. The three girls gasped and stared at my hair with wide eyes. The brown haired girl even touched my hair to see if they were real or not. "Believe it now?"

After some seconds of silence the brunette suddenly said, "Can you make my hair grow bigger ?"

The other two looked at her weirdly but they indeed also had a sparkle in their eyes looking at me. I smiled and extended my hand, the brunette put her hand into mine. I used the skill on her. 

"Huh? Why isn't it working?" The blonde asked. 

"It did.." I said. 

"Where?" The short brown haired girl asked. 

The brunette had wide eyes as she slowly looked down from my hand to her crotch. 

"You!" She said but stopped and just kept glaring at me. I just smiled. 

"What? What happened?" The brown haired girl asked. 

The blonde though understood what was going on, "You did not! You made her hair down bigger!?"

"Calm down, it's just a joke.." I said, "I will make them normal.."

The three calmed down somewhat, but the blonde asked hesitatingly, "Can you remove them completely?"

I smiled. "Yes, I can even make it so that they never grow back."

The three had faces like they were looking at a pile of gold. This religion had made the women of this world so insecure about themselves. It feels like some guy made it up to fulfill his desires. 

I added, "I will make it normal, but to make them disappear - that I won't do for free.."

"Oh come on! We don't have any money!" The Brown haired one said irritatingly. 

"I don't need money.." I said, the sparkle in their eyes returning. "The price is your body. I can make you as pretty and hairless as you want and in return for a week you three are mine to do as I please. Still wanna do it?"
