Book 4: Chapter 4-2: Omen of a New Battle
You wanna buy some chickens? Well we hatched lotsa chicks this year so its finebut its expensive? Does yer family even have enough money?
After handing over the letter of introduction from the inn to the boss of the poultry farm, he looked skeptical.
Un, itll be fine. Just tell me how many can you sell?
Well lets see.thinkin about how many we gotta sell to our customersId say around 20 or so. More than that we wont sell even if you bring out a ton o cash.
Twenty huha shame. I wanted more.
Well thinking about it another way, it was a number where I could simply put them in padded boxes and bring them home rather than using Samsara Recursion to transport them.
How much are you selling each of them for? f reewe bnovel
Well they introduced you soIll go for 2 gold each.
I had expected that much. They were twice as expensive as goats.
Ill buy all twenty so could you lower it a bit? What do you think of 30 gold?
Fer that price you can forget it. If I leave em, I can make that much money just from the eggs they make.
Yeah hes right. I dont think bargaining further would have any meaning. Furthermore, I had found something even more interesting.
The chickens the boss wanted to sell me were older than a certain age and wouldnt have too many years of egg laying left in them. But there was something more attractive there as well.
I understand. I will buy 20 of them for 40 gold. Well, could you throw in that chick over there as well? How much would you charge for it?
Next to the adult chickens there was a pile of yellow chicks.
There were two groups of them, one was neatly organized and kept, while the other was group were just piled together in a clump. I pointed to the second group.
Ya; mean the ones we left after sorting out the girlies? Well we were just gonna raise em for meat anyways. Ya gave me more than 20 gold, Ill just make it a little bonus. Even chicks are delicious if you cook em right.
Well then, Ill go ahead and choose some.
They would hatch some eggs to keep their number of chickens rising. After they had grown a bit, they would sort them and categorize, but actually judging them was very difficult.
Even someone who was a professional would have several failures. There were even some chicks that were girls that looked like boys.
However, I was able to differentiate based on magical reactions. Whether it was people or animals, male and female creatures had a different feel to their magic power.
I think this is plenty.
I had chosen 21 chicks from 200 or so.
Youare those possibly all females?
Of course not, how could I know that?
Y-yeah, coursethen youll be takin em on yer carriage? Ill find ya a nice box so just wait a bit.
He said as he went off.
Cyril, are they really all female?
Truthfully, they arent all females. I made sure to pick 3 males as well so we can increase our chickens, the rest are female. The chicks are about two weeks old, so in around 3 months theyll start to lay eggs and we can get even more chickens.
For a while wed only release a few eggs at a time until we eventually spread it throughout Erucy.
By the time the chicks grew up we would be able to eat eggs once a week, and eventually we would be able to have eggs daily.
You really have a lot of specialties huh Cyril-kundont you have the talent to succeed even outside of Erucy?
Yeah, if its Cyril then I get the feeling he could do so much more, but I wonder if were holding him back from time to time.
Lucy and Kuu said with a lonesome look on their faces.
As they had said, even if I was alone in Erin or the Empire, I could craft a large business and obtain riches, women, and fame.
I think I could. However, I am happy as I am right now. I have cute wives, good friends, good food, and I can laugh happily. I dont wish for more than that.
Those were my true feelings. It was fine as long as I was wealthy enough to live a good life. I had enjoyed the fruits that extreme wealth afforded for many lifetimes. At this point the lifestyle in Erucy was more attractive.

Lucy jumped over and hugged me tight.
Whats this all of a sudden? freeweb(n)ovel.co(m)
Un, nothingI just felt like it.
The heart of a woman is mysterious. I once again thought as such.
