Chapter 63 I Encountered a Strange Shopkeeper (2/2)

[Welcome!]

[ ! ? ! ? ]

She was already in front of me.

What the heck was that!? In an instant, she had ran past me, and moreover, she was already leaning her back behind the door when she called out.

Facing this situation where it clearly looks like she won’t let me get away, I reflexively stepped back…… No, seriously, this is quite the strange shop I entered.

[May I ask what you’re looking for? Well~~ It was esteemed customer’s lucky day. For we have just finished stocking up on our supplies!]

[……N- No, errr……]

You’re saying you just finished stocking up on your supplies, it’s completely obvious that you just lack customers and a lot of these supplies are unsold though!?

Damn, I’ve completely became her target. A stuffed animal rubbing its hands together as it slowly walked my way……. I felt fear just like when I’m watching a B-rated horror movie.

[I- I was just checking out for a bit, it’s not that I’m here to buy anything……]

[No no, today is your chance. Errr, look…… We’re offering a discount only for today!]

It obviously looks like you just came up with it! Did you even try to sound a little bit convincing!?

However, the other party could still be said to be a pro in her trade, and I honestly don’t have any talk skills that could help me get out of situations like this.

Should I just take it like I’ve been bitten by a stray dog, buy some of her stuff and go home?

[……By the way, what’s your budget?]

[……E- Errr…… A- Around 5000R…… or so?]

In fact, I have more than 40,000R, but I’m not stupid enough to honestly tell her about that.

The clothes I’m wearing may not be that flashy, but it still has a quality that wouldn’t look out of place even if a noble were to wear it, so I decided to say an amount of about 500,000 yen because it will likely cause me a lot of trouble if I said an amount that was too low.

This way, even if I was forced to buy until the very last coin of this budget, I would just resign myself and think like I had fallen under the fangs of an unscrupulous salesman.

[……5000R huh……]

I felt like the shopkeeper’s eyes had changed colors. I can’t see her eyes because she’s wearing a costume, but it’s like her mood has somehow changed.

To be specific, it’s like she has found a good prey……

W- Well…… what is she going to do now? She’ll either try to force me to buy stuff with threats or probably drag me around with her honed negotiation skills…… Either way, she’s a professional and there seems to be no way for me to escape.

In front of me, the shopkeeper who was gasping for breath, slowly put her right on the ground, followed by her left knee, and finally, she brought her hands on the ground.

[……Please buy something.]

[……………….]

A dogeza. A dogeza that I never expected. Throwing away all the shame and pride of a merchant, in a very refined and unhurried manner, she got down on a dogeza.

[I’m begging you. I haven’t had a good meal in a few days.]

[………………..]

And as if it flowed along with her dogeza, tears began streaming down her eyes.

I was dumbfounded and speechless in front of the woman in the costume kneeling on a dogeza in front of me.

Dear Mom, Dad——- How should I say this… I came across someone weird again. And so—– I encountered a strange shopkeeper.

The reason why the duke was so desperate to have someone escort the protagonist is actually…… because every time she lets him wander around by himself, he gets to know someone outrageous.
