"So, what's the other one?"
Dotin asks, a little more interested in what I have to say.
"The other thing is an antidote."
“Antidote?"
While the three women say this in unison, only Dotin responds with the unfamiliar words, "Anti-virgins?" What is that new word? It seems that being a virgin has caused a considerable inferiority complex. At this point, it feels like another kind of illness.
"Antidote. An Antidote. You've really got to lose your virginity."
I said feeling fed-up.
"I'm not a virgin!" Dotin, on the other hand, was just as quick to deny being a virgin as if it were a spinal reflex. I ignored him and continued talking.
"They are idiots, but they know very well that they are powerless. They use poison to compensate for that." "You mean the goblins use poison?"
Dotin, wanting to pretend that the previous exchange had never happened, joins the conversation aggressively.
"That's right."
I nodded.
"It's a lousy poison, mixed with mud and their own fecal matter, but it does its job if you get hit with it." "Mud and feces? That's a horrifying combination..."
Shatitina, who apparently loves cleanliness, says this.
"So, just in case, please bring two bottles of antidote for each person." "You don’t need two, do you?" "I said just in case. Even if you don't use it this time, you might have a chance to use it. Keep it just in case." "Well, if you say so, I'll keep it just in case."
"Do that. The three rear guards are the least, but you, Dotin, you have the best chance of getting poisoned because you're going to be in close combat."
“What about you, Charles? Aren’t you the also in the most dangerous position?” "I'll tell you just in case." "What is it?"
"If I couldn't deal with a group of goblins, I wouldn’t be here, you know? My hometown is Braidea."
"Braidea...isn't it a kingdom full of monsters! I'm sure it's ruled by a bloodline of heroes. Are you from there..." Dotin was surprised at the exaggeration. "That's rude. The city is one of the safest countries in the world, isn't it? Security is very tight."
"I thought there was a prince in Braidea whose nickname was Charles, but whose official name was Eucharlouch, but I never expected it!" Although Netiliza seems absent-minded, she has a sharp intuition. "I'm very honored to be mistaken for a prince." It would be suspicious if I desperately denied it like Dotin, so I gently denied it. "I'm just an adventurer. No matter how you look at it, I don't look to be a prince, right?"
I ask everyone expecting them to agree.
However.
"No, that's not true!" Shatitina denies it loudly. "Charles looks much more like a prince than any of the other nobles around here!" The other two nodded in agreement. "I see. I don't feel bad about that. Thank you." I thanked them with a gentle smile. "Oh, Charles...!" This time, Shatitina shows an enraptured expression.
"!"
Dotin watches with uninteresting eyes. "Do you always look at women like that? Aren't you tired?" Dotin says something like that, as if he doesn't like my every move.
"That's really rude. I'm just trying to be as gentlemanly as possible to the ladies."
"Yes, yes, I see." Dotin replied hurriedly, as if he didn't really care about my reason. I didn't really care about that and continued. "I've gone off topic, so I'll get back to it." "Yeah."
"If you're going to drink the antidote, do it as soon as you've been poisoned. If too much time passes, the poison will spread around your body and the antidote becomes ineffective. Remember that." With this, I finally finish saying the most important thing. "I know we need those two things." "Yes." "How do I get the money to buy that? I don't have much money, you know?" "I'd like to confirm just in case." "Hm." "You don't have enough money to buy a torch and an Antidote."
"Yes."
"Where were you planning on staying tonight?"
"Your noisy, I was going to stay here with the money I earned from the commission!"
As you can see, Dotin was the very picture of a man with no plan.
I wonder if this is due to being young and careless. Well, actually, we're not that different in age. "What were you going to do if you couldn't make money?" I asked. "Then we'd just sleep under the stars."
"That's a wild thing to do. If it was just you, it would be fine." "Yeah."
"However we got three unmarried young ladies, so we need the money no matter what."
All three girls nodded in agreement. As expected, they would prefer not to camp outside. While we were walking around talking about such things, we arrived at a tool shop.
