Fujimaru Ritsuka, but the main god space

Chapter 115 The Protagonist Appears

Tony felt that he had a dark mind, but there was nothing he could do. It was really due to his acquired environment. In his hometown, little boys with black silk stockings were strictly prohibited - don't ask why such things needed to be deliberately prohibited!

As an arms dealer, or a businessman, the most basic truth comes from the mouth of the Wolf of Wall Street.

【Accurately grasp the needs of customers. Only when there is demand can there be transactions】

Well, getting back to the topic, Tony found that his vision seemed to be a little too sharp, making the boy in front of him almost faint from nervousness.

"Ok, relax. Is there anything I can help you with? Mr. White Rabbit." Tony deliberately used a teasing tone, comparing the boy in front of him to the little tour guide in Alice in Wonderland, but it was obvious that the boy could not understand.

He swallowed, his face turned pale, and he timidly held a bag of gold coins and talked to Tony.

"that!"

The little boy looked at Tony, and became even more nervous, his face flushed with anxiety, and he spoke in a broken voice.

"Please, do you know how to get to the nearest hotel?"

"Go straight ahead for a hundred meters and turn right. To avoid you vomiting on me, I recommend you go quickly." Tony spoke quickly and leaned back subconsciously.

"Ah! Thank you, thank you!"

The boy was very nervous, but he still bowed politely to thank him, then ran out with the purse in his arms, looking like a frightened rabbit.

Maybe it was an illusion, Tony even saw him waving his hands vigorously after running less than a hundred meters, as if to say "I did it".

"."

Tony slowly sat back on his wooden stool. He wanted to continue thinking about sleeping outdoors at night, but he found that he couldn't calm down.

Snapped.

A slap hit him right in the center of his forehead and Tony let out a long sigh.

There's no way, there are too many things to pay attention to.

Why did this child run out and live alone at such a young age?

Is this kid an idiot? Why is he running around on the street with a money bag?
What about the guardian? Is he also an idiot?

First of all, from Tony's understanding, Orario is not a chaotic city, and it has more humane rules and regulations relative to the background of this era - at least it does not sell slaves.

But of course, there is no law protecting minors.

Nor has it achieved comprehensive prosperity.

No matter how wealthy a city is, there will always be dark corners. There are many homeless people in Orario, and there are even slums. The epitome of an entire country is arranged in this small city.

Especially in recent years, according to the information Tony has found out, it seems that due to the influence of the "dark faction", many vendors in the entire city have lost their original stalls and turned into refugees, needing some support from their families all day long.

Help the poor, and the poor will then look at the glamorous adventurers, and jealousy will begin a vicious cycle. If this rhythm continues for decades, we will be ready to shoot "Orario: Become Human".

It's not safe to let a little boy run around in such a turbulent city - what kind of parents would leave their children to do this? ?

Do you want to catch up and see?
But that’s not right. What if this is the other party’s purpose?

Tony naturally thought of this possibility.

Attract kind-hearted people to help the boy, and then use rhetoric to set up a trap - no! A trap! Damn, it can't really be a little boy with black silk stockings!

Kill you! I'll kill you, Orario!

Even if it is not a honey trap but a scam, the possibility of extortion is very high.

".Damn it."

After much thought, I decided to do it in one go.

The proud Mr. Iron Man would not allow himself to hesitate and regret for the rest of his life, so he stood up on his knees and caught up with the kid in front of him.

He found the other person at the inn he had pointed out.

Fortunately, it seemed that the little boy was not here to commit a scam and was now nervously talking to the store owner.

"Um! Is this a hotel? (broken voice)"

"Oh, yes. You. Are you from out of town?"

"Ah, yes."

Unfortunately, he almost got himself into trouble.

How could anyone admit that they were from outside the area? The local gangs in Orario were very rude.

On the busy street, the luxurious hotel built of red bricks was very conspicuous, and the one Tony pointed out was one of the wooden inns gathered on the deserted street. Standing alone in the backlight, the two-story store with the signboard of "INN" hung on it.

It's a bit rude, but it looks pretty cheap.

When I opened the creaking door, I saw the middle-aged shop owner who was reading a love newspaper at the counter, seemingly bored, and the little boy he was talking to.

"Ah, that. I want to stay for a while..."

"800 valis per night. Not including meals."

"——800 Wallis!?"

"It's two thousand Wallis for three days. Stay if you want or get out if you don't!"

Tony, who was eavesdropping from behind, almost laughed out loud.

800 valis a day?
How should we use an analogy in this case of Orario?
A certain sword princess' favorite food, [Fried Potatoes], only costs 30 Valis per piece.

Because adventurers come and go, and there are countless outsiders who regard Orario as a tourist attraction, the prices of hotels are generally low, and the owners quote prices at more than twice the price.

Tony thought, even the most innocent child would be angry at this time -

"Well, then, please."

"Huh!?"*2
The shopkeeper who was waiting to be bargained with and Tony who was waiting to watch the bargaining both showed a look of amazement at the same time. Only the boy had an expression that said, "This is the 'center of the world', my eyes have been opened."

This is not over yet. When the boy lowered his head and said something like "thank you very much", and the owner was about to uncomfortably accept the fat mutton delivered to his mouth -

"Haha, my dear little cousin! That's why I told you to be careful to distinguish between good and bad when you go out into the world~"

Tony put his arm around the white-haired child's shoulders from behind and spoke to him despite the child's surprised gaze and the shop owner's suddenly gloomy face.

"Hey! Remember me, boss? I visited you a few days ago!" Tony waved.

The boss looked away.

".I don't remember."

"You're lying! You looked terrified when I bargained for you!"

".Do you want to rent it or not?"

Of course the boss didn't want to pay attention to Tony, so he turned around and yelled at the little boy.

"!!!"

The white-haired boy was startled and almost shed a few tears. He subconsciously nodded in agreement.

"If you can guarantee that this place is habitable, I will definitely rent it!"

Snapped!
Tony slapped the little head in front of him hard, and after hearing the cry of pain, he complained, "Are you some kind of genius child star who can cry in ten seconds? Keep your head up, chest out, and hands on your pants!"

"Yes!" The boy obeyed uncontrollably, while Tony nodded, feeling unsatisfied, and looked at the boss again. "Hey, boss, we can rent it, after all, we are old friends, but you just did something a little unfair~ Look, as compensation, you have to give me a discount?" Tony shrugged, "No one else lives in your place anyway."

"Hey, you!" The boss was about to explode, but was pushed back by Tony's shaking finger.

"Think about it, cheating outsiders is a good one-time business, and it seems to be sustainable, but what if I find someone to hang a sign on your door every day saying "This store will cheat outsiders"?"

"you!"

"Olario doesn't have clear regulations on street parades and obstruction of the city's appearance. I hold a grudge. Boss, why don't you just -"

"That's enough!! 200 Wallis, get out of here and get to your room!"

The boss stopped talking and threw a key over with great force, which was caught nimbly by Tony.

"Hey, boss, you're generous~ Then if we give you a discount for three days, it will be 500 Wallis~"

"It's not you!"

Tony winked at his boss playfully, twirling the key between his fingers, and led the white-haired boy into the room.

Click.

After the door closed, Belcraney finally restarted his brain.

I, Belle Crane, am nine years old.

Until I could remember, I had been doing farm work in the countryside with my grandfather. My favorite thing was to read heroic stories. Although he longed to be a hero, Bell thought that he should at least wait until he was about sixteen years old before going to the dungeon.

However, just recently, my grandfather suddenly started to have a fever.

[What! ~Bell! Grandpa, I just looked at the stars and I feel that Orario is incredible now! ]

[What? Didn’t Grandpa tell you before that he can read astrological charts? Well, now you know!]

[That's your favorite story - if you don't go and witness it, you will probably regret it for the rest of your life! ]

Eh? What do you mean?
[Anyway, don't ask so many questions, go and witness what you should witness. Hmm. If it weren't for the ban, I would also like to go in and see for myself. I don't know why that soul smells familiar. It would be best if I could touch its big ass. Forget it, I didn't say anything.]

[I will take you to Orario, but the rest is up to you, Bell.]

[Bell, believe me.]

【This trip to Eulari will definitely change your life completely. 】

【Go witness the 'hero', Bell. 】

Bell had no idea what was wrong with his grandfather, but having grown up in the countryside, he was a very simple and honest child, so he had no choice but to obey what his grandfather said.

So we set off.

With a clang of the carnival, we followed our laughing grandfather and arrived in Orario in a horse-drawn carriage carrying wheat.

He just saw it.

In a huge city surrounded by huge walls, a huge chalk tower looms against the cloudless sky.

Perhaps it was human beings' natural worship of 'giants'? Or perhaps there was some unspeakable reason, but facing the magnificent scenery at the front of his sight, the boy opened his mouth like a fool, fascinated.

An inexplicable feeling of emotion invaded his whole body, making the boy fall in love with this city, the center of the world, at first sight.

But the problem is, he is really just a kid of a few years old!

Grandpa originally said he wanted to take me on a trip, but he disappeared halfway through. Bell was strong enough not to cry - no, sorry, to be honest, I had already cried.

He was also a little frightened and nervous. He finally struggled all the way to the city center. With the help of a kind person, he found a hotel, but it seemed that he would soon face a bankruptcy crisis.

But things took a turn for the better, and a kind-hearted person came back and helped him stay in the room at a price lower than the market price.

Thinking of this, the country boy stood at attention, and Bell's spirit of craftsmanship was brought into play, and he immediately bowed ninety degrees.

"Thank you!"

"Hmm? Oh, that's okay, and I'm not free." After walking around the room twice and checking, Tony waved his hand and started to take off his clothes.

"Hey! Wait! What is this!?" Bell gasped.

The two sides are fighting, almost wanting to leave first.

"Don't be nervous. You see, I helped you cut down part of the amount, right? That also helps you make money, so as a reward, let me stay in your room for a while." Tony took off his clothes, leaving only a white shirt, and directly took out the spare quilt in the room, threw it on the ground and crawled in.

"Don't worry, I'll just sleep on the floor. If I snore you can kick me awake - oh, by the way, my name is Tony Stark, you can call me Mr. Stark or Tony." Tony stretched out his hand from under the quilt and waved.

"No! No, that's okay. Please, Mr. Stark, please sleep in the bed."

Before he could finish his words, shouting was heard and Bell had to quickly cover his mouth to avoid waking the other person.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, the boy felt a little melancholy, recalling what happened today.

No, it doesn’t seem to be a big deal.

Well, it's still early, now that we have found a hotel, let's go on.
squeak-

"What are you going out for?"

"!Mr. Stark, are you still awake?!"

Pushing open the door, Bell was startled by Tony's voice behind him.

"I'm a light sleeper."

Tony propped his head up with his hands, pretending to be a bikini girl lying on the beach, and asked Bell, "So, you're going~~"

"【First Cemetery】, I want to go and see there." Although he was confused, Bell still answered truthfully.

If it was the first time Tony heard it, he would feel strange and curious, but - this answer was not the first time Tony heard it, so he was a little stunned.

——I have a place I want to go.

——It seems to be called the "First Cemetery". Many adventurers who died in this adventure city are buried there. I would like to take a look at those who died on the road to dreaming of becoming heroes.

Those were the words that the boy named Fujimaru Ritsuka, who came to Orario with him, once said.

The first thing you do on your first day in the city is to pay tribute to strangers?
".I hope you will become a good guy in the future." Touching his head, Tony got up from the ground.

"Mr. Stark?"

"That way you'll pass through Slum Street. I'll take you there."

"Hey! That's too much trouble for you."

"I want a reward, a fried potato."

"Ah good!"

Damn it, this role shouldn't belong to me.

Isn’t my personality a domineering president who is mean, sharp-tongued, extremely intelligent and twisted?

Tony led the way, smacking his lips.

Hey.

I am so gentle.
