I’m a humiliated, incompetent person, but I alone can talk to dragons, so I can choose all the SSS skills and loophole items I want to. I’m going to become famous and respected, so, to the people who humiliated me – Go die in a ditch - Chapter 28

I walked around the streets of Mannow for a while, looking for a man named Gigu.
After only a few minutes of walking, I realized something very clear.
This city was far more crowded than the city of Boalsel.
“It’s a busy city…”
“Apparently, the person who built this town used to be the guild master of the Dragon Knights Guild.”
“Oh, really, Emma?” I asked.
I was surprised.
Looking at Emma, she seemed to be surprised by my reaction.
“Yes, yes. The guild master told me when I was in Lindworm,” Emma said.
“He said that…”
I was like, “Huh.”
I know the Guildmaster of Lindworm. He is the man who expelled me from the guild for denying my idea of being close to dragons.
I don’t hold a grudge against him now, but I thought it was kind of funny.
“What was he talking about?” I asked.
He said, “Well… someday I’ll have the money and the power to build my own city, just like him. That’s what he said.” Emma said.
“Oh.” I see, I thought.
I think he was a man with a strong desire for power, if you ask me.
I want to get more power and build my own city, that’s what he would probably think.
I wonder how the former guild master built his own city.
I’m a little curious about that.
I’d like to build a city for dragons too, not for humans.
I’ll check it out soon.
“Hey, look at that.”
Colette spoke up this time.
“What’s that?”
“That store over there, where the customers are standing and slurping noodles and stuff,” Colette said.
“That?”
With Colette’s explanation and where she is looking, I turned my attention to a standing noodle shop a little further down the road.
It was more like a food stall than a restaurant, with customers slurping down soup noodles from the eaves.
When the customer finished, he smashed the bowl on the spot.
The bowl, made of simple ceramic, cracked with just a light tap on the ground.
“What the hell was that?” I asked.
“no clue…” Colette said.
I nodded my head.
After the customer smashed the bowl, he paid for it and left.
Not only did the owner completely ignore the incident, but another customer also finished his meal and smashed his bowl.
“Apparently, that’s normal behavior in this city.” I said.
“Why?” Colette said.
“I don’t know. I’ll go ask…” I said.
Just as I was about to approach the stall.
A small boy came carrying a wrapping cloth.
He put down the wrapping cloth he was carrying at the stall and opened it.
Inside the wrapping cloth was a rice bowl similar to the one that had been smashed by the customers earlier.
It was a simple, or rather, cheaply made bowl.
The boy handed it over to the owner of the stall.
The owner handed the boy some copper coins.
“Yes, two reels.”
“Thank you.”
The boy took the copper coins and ran off with the folded cloth to somewhere else.
“I see…”
I gave a small nod and looked around.
There were about four or five restaurants that I could see right now, and most of them were knocking over the dishes that their customers had used as well.
And here and there, a modestly dressed boy would come in and refill the bowls.
“What’s going on?” Colette said.
“It seems to be a habit of throwing things away, here.” I said.
“Why?” Colette said.
“Because it gives off more work opportunities, I guess.”
I was a little impressed. As with anything, throwing it away means a steady stream of work for the people who make it.
I thought it was a good thing to have a system that kept a steady flow of work.
“That’s probably part of it, but…”
“Hmm? What do you know about it, Chris?”
“Mannow, was this place called. Up until a hundred years ago, it was a land filled with plague any time you visited.”
“Plague huh…, so I guess they thought if you use all the dishes, you can prevent the plague from happening?” I asked.
“That’s my true friend, I’m surprised you caught that.
I see.
I looked around again.
Mannow.
I’m sure I’ll have a great time.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

We walked around for a while, asking people in the city to find Gigu’s store.
It’s a place that’s off the main road of the city, where people don’t come and go as often as they used to, and it’s a somewhat lonely place compared to the area we were just in.
“Look at that, Master. Look at the bottom right corner of that sign.”
“Hmm?”
I looked at the store’s sign where Louise told me.
There was a crest in the lower right corner of the sign.
That crest is…
“The crest is on the iron tag.” I said.
“doesn’t it look the same?.” Louise said.
“I’m sure you’re right, then.” I said.
I nodded and walked in with the four of them.
It looked like they were supposed to bring dragons from the beginning, so the entrance was made large, and the area right after we entered was also large.
It was so big that Chris, even a medium-sized dragon, could barely fit in.
When we went inside, a man appeared from the back.
“Who are you?”
He looked like a man of bad character.
If you looked closely, you could see a large scar under his chin, which was still brand new and pink.
You can find a lot of these types of men among the dragon knights, so I was not surprised.
I did not, but I responded appropriately.
“I’m Cyril Larose.”
“Huh, so it’s you. Where’re the goods?”
“Colette, please.”
I turned my head and looked over my shoulder at Colette.
Colette nodded and spat out a series of boxes of Dragon Tear Balm from her stomach.
I piled them up and showed them to the man.
“Check it out.”
“Hmm.”
The man came closer and opened the boxes to check the contents.
He scratched the surface of the Dragon Tear Balm with his claws and smelled it.
Can you tell by the smell?
“Alright… we received it.”
The man nodded and then clapped his hands, getting rid of the powder.
Then about four or five men came out from the back and carried the box of dragon tears incense.
Instead, they left another box behind.
“That’s the promised reward, check it.”
I opened the box and saw that it was filled with silver coins.
It was a rough estimate, but I was sure it was tens of thousands of reels.
“Colette.”
“I’ll take care of it.”
Colette swallowed the box.
“Don’t you have to count?” The man asked.
“I don’t mind. Even if we don’t have enough, it’s no big deal.”
“What? Why?”
“It’s just that there won’t be another one.”
“…….huh”
The man sniffed unamusedly.

We walked out of the store.
“Wow, Master, you got 30,000 reels so easily.” Louise said.
“Yeah, right.” I said.
“Gwahahahaha more importantly, I enjoyed watching my true friend’s composure.”
“composure?” Louise said, tilting her head.
“I’m sure you’ll agree. In the end, human negotiation is a tug-of-war between “do” and “don’t do”. The strongest hand is the one that says ‘no’.”
“I guess you’re right.”
“It’s a good thing that you can do it naturally true friend. At that moment, that man clearly reevaluated you.”
“Wow that’s amazing, as expected of the Master,” Louise said.
Chris was right, but I felt a little embarrassed when he explained it to me.
Well, I guess that’s that.
“……”
“Hmm? What are you thinking about, my true friend?”
“What? oh, I was thinking about the Dragon Tear Balm.”
“Hmm?” Chris seemed a bit confused.
“They paid me 30,000 reels just to bring it in. That means the guys handling it are making a lot more money, right?”
“Of course they are.”
“I was thinking that if we did it ourselves, we’d make a fortune.” I said.
“Kukuku, gwahahahaha”
Chris “paused” once and then started laughing.
‘You’ve got a good eye, my true friend,” Chris said.
I knew it.
Chris’s words seemed to encourage me.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
