hurts! Odono-san, why?”
“He’s not someone that you can offend. Mussu is a noble with a rank of Earl. You are not his match.”
“Even so… uuuh…”
“Look, just go over there and play with Momo.”
Yu pointed to the side behind Zing. There were children of the demi-human playing and on a table, near them assorted sweets were gathered which is why Momo was smiling with almost watery eyes when she saw it.
“Haha, don’t be so worried about that, he is just an energetic boy and I don’t feel endangered at all. So, as compensation for me lending my chefs to make sweets, why don’t you tell me an interesting story?”
“This is not an interesting story, but there’s news that I heard. Recently there is a merchant that was coming to each dungeon, hiring high rank adventurers, and information. The things that he sells were also of high rank so he must been hired by a noble.”
“Oh, a merchant, so what happened next?”
“I sold my potions and surprisingly he bought all of it. He even asked if I had anything else in stock. I wonder if a big war is going to happen?”
“Big war, small war, it’s still a war.”
“I think it’s Ropugin and Mober kingdom.”
When Yu mentioned the kingdom that may be affected, Mussu’s face was surprised and turned ugly.
“Is there something wrong?”
“I’m actually the third prince of Mober kingdom. I am really interested to find out who was that merchant guy.”
At that time, Mussu’s tea cup had become empty and Nungu poured out a freshly brewed tea that the aroma tickled the nasal cavity of everyone.
“So, if you encounter that merchant again can I have your help?”
Mussu then gave an interesting look towards Yu, was like a child who’s waiting for his new toy.
“Alright, but can Mussu-san tell me something too? About language.”
“What about it?”
“【Dragon magic】 use dragon language, 【Fairy magic】 use fairy language, beast man , dwarves, elves, also used their own but how can they understand our language?”
“Hmm… our language?”
“Which I was thinking as unified language. Probably because the ancestors were demi-human and they taught it to their children so actually it was thanks to them we have unified language. But how the human had it unified in the first place?”
“Please don’t think so highly of me and don’t for hope much. Do you know about the world history? Around the year of 300 according to the holy kingdom calendar, there was a mass massacre of human kingdom and the old kingdom hood. Many of other kingdom were also persecuted and left a small number of humans so maybe that’s why the human have unified language?”
Mussu who was a noble also has little idea of how it happened, and as a result, he laughed a little to shrug off the tension.
