A Reincarnated Demon’s Life of Wonder

Delish! Delish! So gooooood!

...crap! I ate up everything! Already?! ...a survival life in a Dungeon sure knows how to leave its tracks.

Feeling that there was still some space left in my stomach, I went for a trip to look for the city's nightly specialties while covering my face with my hooded coat. Having people stare at my face is more than a bother. Not to sound vain, but I'm pretty cute. Even when compared to the women on the streets. Is it my demonic nature or something that's playing a role? Think I had some skill as well...eh, whatever.

The streets are as good as swept clean for people compared to the afternoon, but there are still a few too many people for my taste here and there.

"Hey, miss? You want a taste?" - ???

While I was taking some detours, a voice from a food stand reached me. ...oh, they allow even ogres into the city. How generous of them.

"Master, I think you're making a wrong conclusion here. That person is a human." - Avatar of [Gamemaster]

HUH!? That super-macho, scar-covered baldy!? Who's wearing a pink apron with hearts on!? I thought for sure it was some type of gender-strange ogre...

"Ohohoho~. Little fairy, you are such a joke~. I am Rassel Hauserson~. Call me Rassel~~." - Rassel

...too much. This guy's character is too much...

*Sniff, sniff*

But those screwers smell too good!

"Ten, please." - Garami

"Thank you~. That is 2 silvers in total~." - Rassel

I handed the coins to the bodybuilder chef and got ten skewers with what looked like grilled crab meat. The sign says..."grilled Viper Scorpions with herbs"? ...not the strangest stuff I've eaten. And they're good! How can stuff like scorpions taste this delish!? Maybe it's the herbs...

"Ten more." - Garami

"Hmm? Wha-!? Sweetie, you've already finished them!? Thanks for the patronage," replied the macho-chef as he(?) handed me some more skewers.

"By the way, are there any places where one can cash in old materials and treasures?" asked the fairy while she nibbled on one of the skewers... Hold on. She's capable of eating!? Isn't she supposed to be a skill?

And a place to sell stuff. Yeah, that is needed. Especially considering the Dungeon Core I have...

"There are some pawnshops you could visit, but those aren't reliable. They would try to scam even such pretty sweeties as you two. The best place would be the Merchants' Union, as they are most likely to give you the best monetary offer, but those guys can be as bad as the pawners when they are dealing with someone for the first time. The safest option would be the Adventurers' Union, but they are busy lately, so the pay may be lower compared to what the Merchants can offer." - Rassel

The vendor gave us a decent explanation and several options to choose from, but...Unions? Are those like guilds in games and fantasy stories? Sounds kinda interesting.

I left the stand after that, and while walking, I sorted out my options. If what the vendor said was true, then my best bets are either the Merchants' Union if I want the big score. But if I wish for a safe offer, then the Adventurers' Union is the place I should head to.

Though, what I'm planning on selling are the gold and treasures I obtained from the old mansion that was hidden on the 6th floor of the Water-Knot. That stuff's bound to attract attention. If I'm gonna sell it, I should expect gathering some sort of attention to myself...what a pain.

"...that new girl at the bar's seriously loaded!"

"...all the ports are giving them for free? Tch!"

"...returned, and with some new pets."

"...those guys have been silent for a while..."

"...around 60 people dead now..."

"...serious! Those bugs are a new species!"

"...strangely noisy there. Maybe a new..."

...more people are starting to gather, so I went down the less populated roads. There, after checking that there was nobody who could overhear us, I started to discuss with the fairy the plans for the future.

"Who do you think would be best?" - Garami

"As the buyer of the loot? I would say the Adventurers' Union." - Avatar of [Gamemaster]

"Your reasons?" - Garami

"The biggest one is what the vendor told us. The merchants are far from fair creatures, but if we join the Adventurers' Union and sell the treasures, they are more likely to give us a fair price because they want to form a good relationship with the "treasure hunter" who can discover such vast loot." - Avatar of [Gamemaster]

So we're doubling the worth of the sale by getting both money and a good reputation? I like that. Especially since my skills alone are enough to make me seem like someone who should be behind bars.
