Girl in the Box: Please tell me why I was reincarnated as a mimic monster!

Rielfa caught the flying coin, opened her hand to look at it—it was a copper coin. Were these damned scumbags already starting to extort money?!

“Alright, then I’ll sell them all to you for one copper coin.” Rielfa put away the copper coin and said calmly, “We’ve already sold out of all our goods. Sorry, we’ll take our leave now.”

"Hey! No way~ Miss~"

As Leilefa turned to leave, Scarface grabbed her clothes. "Damn it, a virgin like you shouldn't be sexually harassing me!"

"Hey, we haven't finished talking yet, why are you in such a hurry to run away?"

Scarface picked up the knife, licked it with his tongue, and then spat it out. Damn it... is this guy an idiot?

"Tell me how much dirty money you've made?" Scarface said threateningly. "All this money came from selling shoddy goods, didn't you? Aren't you going to give me an explanation?"

“…What do you want?” Rielfa looked at him with a smile.

"Oh, that's the smile, I like it." Scarface clapped his hands and said affectionately, "Hey, look, it's not easy for a girl like you to come out alone. How about this, I won't hold you responsible. You keep one gold coin and give me the rest. I'll help you apologize to those who bought your things and return their money."

This guy…! He just wants to use this ridiculous charge to get Reilfa to give him the gold coins so they can squander them! Disgusting!

To be honest, I couldn't help but want to rush up and hit someone. This is the second time I've felt such strong and clear malice towards humanity.

"...Okay, here you go."

"You actually gave it to him?!"

Raelfa casually picked up a gold coin and tossed the coin bag to Scarface. Scarface happily caught the bag and carefully counted how many coins were inside. His companions tried to gather around to take a look, but Scarface kicked them back.

"Hmm, you do have a conscience, young lady. You're not greedy at all with so many gold coins." Scarface chuckled. "But you're alone, right? Oh, and there's that little sister beside you. Oh, I love little sisters the most. You two are sisters, aren't you? Look, it's so dangerous for you two sisters out there. Why don't you come with us? We'll protect you."

"Excuse me, no need, we have to go now," Rielfa politely declined.

"Holy crap, young lady, don't you understand yet?"

Scarface pressed his knife against Rielfa's face, smiling coldly, while Rielfa gave him a cold glance.

"We're inviting you, aren't we? Show some manners! Come on, let's...?!"

"Find a fight!"

Snap——!!!

The small dachi suddenly chopped off the blade of the small knife, and the scarred man retreated in fright. He didn't see what had just happened, and his clothes were torn to shreds by the powerful sword wind. What happened?

"Xiao, watch your strength," Rielfa patted Xiao on the shoulder. "Don't cut off their hands and feet too."

"Well, then we'll have to use this one."

Xiao cried out in disappointment, then put away the knife and took out the black iron rod made from the slime.

"Damn it—!" Scarface cursed angrily, "You fucking disrespect me, Knife Master?! You're asking for it, aren't you?! Brothers! Beat him up! Don't leave any wounds, we'll sell him later after we're done."

At Scarface's command, the men surrounded us, leaving no gap for us to pass. They menacingly cracked their knuckles, making a loud snapping sound to intimidate us. To be honest, hearing that sound made me really want to punch someone; not long ago, that sound had been constantly on my mind.

In short... they're probably not having an easy time either.

By the way, I was stopped by Rielfa again... Why can't I move?

Chapter 12 Merchant Olito

"You guys be careful! Don't hurt anyone!" Scarface yelled again, but showed no intention of joining the fight.

The burly men, following his orders, approached Xiao with lewd grins, opening their arms to grab her, only to be struck squarely on the forehead by her stick and knocked unconscious. The men were stunned, clearly not expecting this little girl to possess such strength.

Upon seeing their fallen comrade, they became more wary and cautiously attempted to capture Xiao. Xiao leaped nimbly into the air, causing them to miss their target. Several burly men waiting for Xiao on the outer edge immediately jumped up, trying to grab his feet.

call!

With a whooshing sound, the long black iron staff swept through the air, knocking down the burly men who had jumped up. As Xiao landed, he delivered a powerful kick to one of them in the groin. The man who had been kicked in the groin sat up abruptly, then collapsed to the ground, convulsing and foaming at the mouth.

Ouch...it looks so painful...

Actually, Xiao's weight wasn't that heavy; it was just that the black iron staff was a bit heavier. However, with the combined potential energy, this kick would probably be fatal.

"Tsk!" Scarface spat on the ground and cursed, "What are you all standing there for?! Are you idiots?! Grab your weapons! Slash them while they're still warm and use them!"

...! He's even worse than Peller!

One by one, those people pulled out their weapons, which looked rather rudimentary. They pointed them at Xiao one by one, then charged at her like the Calabash Brothers trying to save their grandfather. "Ha, how could you possibly hurt my little sister?"

The burly man at the front recklessly swung his wooden club, trying to sweep Xiao away. Xiao shattered the club with a single blow, then struck the man in the side, sending him flying. One by one, the men rushing forward to their deaths were dealt with by Xiao, and he didn't forget to finish each one off with a stab to the groin…

"Hey... Raelfa, did you teach this?"

“???～”

The culprit whistled and gazed into the distance, seemingly unconcerned. Well... at least no one was killed or injured...

"Tsk! Damn it! A bunch of useless trash!"

In just a short while, Xiao had dealt with all the thugs and hooligans. Scarface lost his confidence and said, "Hey, you look like you're trembling now."

"Aren't you going to run away?" Rielfa asked him with a smile.

"...You! You just wait and see!"

Scarface uttered a harsh threat and then dashed off, completely ignoring the half-dead men lying on the ground. We've seen this scene far too many times, but what can we do? It's still not satisfying! And it seems he took our money too?

"Xiao, you can come back now, you don't need to fight anymore." I called Xiao back. "That person has already run away. Good job."

Xiao, who had already chased after Scarface for a few steps, immediately stopped and then quickly ran to my side, wanting a reward or something. Hey, even if you do this, I can't reveal myself.

clap clap clap...

Suddenly, cheers and applause erupted around her; before she knew it, so many people had gathered. They were all looking at Xiao, giving her their unreserved praise and applause.

"It's amazing that my little sister can defeat so many young men at such a young age."

"Wow, so cute and strong! Are you an adventurer, little sister? Our team is missing a vanguard..."

"Well done! These guys should have been taught a lesson long ago!"

Rielfa casually picked up the equipment that Scarface had kicked away, completely oblivious to what these people thought of us. "We only earned one gold coin! Just one?! That's a huge loss!" she thought.

"It's great that nothing serious happened."

"...?"

As Lerfa bent down to tidy up, someone helped her retrieve the equipment scattered around her. She looked up and looked puzzled.

"Could you please let me help you? It's obviously difficult for you to clean up by yourself."

He was a well-dressed young man with regular features and long, flowing blue hair... Holy crap, why green hair...? I know other worlds are full of flamboyant, edgy styles, but this is really hard to accept!

What's that saying again? "To get by in life, you have to have a little green on your head?"

What has this person been through...? He seems so gentle and refined, but has he actually been cheated on...?

Upon closer inspection, you'll see a group of people behind him helping Rielfa collect her scattered equipment. To be honest, I'm really grateful, but Rielfa doesn't seem to be showing any sign of thanks.

I'm so curious about this person... I'll use my magic eye to take a look...

Olitzo, Lv.21, Race: Human.

Level 21...? This might be the lowest level human I've ever seen. It's a bit surprising that someone this age isn't high-level... because most of those people are adventurers, or maybe that's just my subjective opinion.

Those people helped tidy up the things and came over to put them on the ground.

"Oh! Young Master Olito, these are all, thirteen items in total, not one missing."

One of them stepped forward and reported the situation to Olitzo: thirteen pieces of equipment? I hadn't been paying attention to how many pieces of equipment were still unsold. Were these people watching from the outside the whole time? I have a feeling they're up to something.

“Miss, there are thirteen pieces of equipment, right?” Olito asked.

“…Yes, that’s about right.” Rielfa’s reply was very perfunctory.

"Please don't treat your work so carelessly..." Olitto could only smile wryly. "I've already sent my men to chase after the money that was stolen from you. It will be back in a little while. Please wait a moment."

“No need, I’m not interested in money,” Rielfa said curtly.

"Ah, then may I have a chat with you?" Olitto's gaze drifted towards me. "Could you sell me this box, and everything inside it?"

“…?” Relfa frowned, then looked at me.

"You've been exposed?"

"No! I have no idea what happened!"

"So what do you plan to do?"

"You actually want to sell me?!"

"Haha, just kidding."

“I’m sorry, I refuse.” Relfa refused him again. “I don’t want to sell this box. If you want to end up like those people lying on the ground, I don’t mind if you come and take it.”

Rielfa subtly released a little bit of pressure, trying to intimidate Olito, but he only broke out in a cold sweat and showed no sign of backing down. Seeing this, Xiao stood between the two with her stick in hand, glaring at Olito. Ah... actually, it had no intimidating effect at all; she was still too young.

"Are you going to bully Sister Relfa too?" Xiao got into a fighting stance. "Xiao won't allow you to bully Sister Relfa."

“No, no! We didn’t mean that!” Olitto quickly waved his hands. “We just want to talk to her! About some things concerning the transaction! We are merchants from the Borg Chamber of Commerce.”

"A trade? Oh?" ​​Rielfa chuckled. "You should have said so earlier! If you're here to trade, of course you're welcome. You're a merchant, right? That's easy!"

Why did your attitude change so suddenly?! Are you really planning to bring me out here to sell me?!

I'm starting to doubt this. Did I come out with Rielfa just to be sold? What did I do wrong? Please don't sell me, okay?

"Don't worry, don't worry, he's not selling it to you. Let's see what kind of deal he's planning first."

Relfa comforted me with telepathy, and I felt much more at ease after hearing her say that it wasn't to sell me. Speaking of which, why did Relfa want to make a deal with them?

"Oh, I see. That's good then." Olitto visibly relaxed. "Then, please come with me to the carriage over there to talk. I have no intention of harming you. If you feel unsafe, you can choose the place yourself."

"Oh, no need, that's too much trouble~" Rielfa stretched. "Let's just go to the carriage, I'm tired. Xiao, bring the suitcase with you. Please take care of those things~"

"Oh, oh..." Olitto looked completely bewildered.

Because of the unexpected speed at which Rielfa moved the topic forward, Olitto was a little caught off guard and could only agree with Rielfa.

Xiao lifted me up, still disguised on the ground, and followed behind Rielfa. Rielfa walked up without any suspicion, thinking, "She's the Dragon Queen, how many people could threaten her?"

I glanced at the carriage, and it was practically a motorhome! And what was being pulled by it wasn't even a horse! It was a dragon, for crying out loud!

The creature attached to the reins of that vehicle is a dragon! And why is it trembling?! Does it know that Rielfa is the Dragon King?!

I was led in by the two of them. Lerfa was already leisurely resting on what looked like a very high-end sofa, while I looked around at the furnishings.

Judging from this arrangement, you can tell that Olitzo put a lot of thought and had great taste, although I can't see any deeper meaning in it.

Xiao is... well, all she can do is exclaim "Wow!" She's also a bit... silly.

"Sorry, it's been a long wait."

After a while, Olito came into the carriage and apologized to us. Wow... so polite, he doesn't seem like a bad person...

“Please allow me to introduce myself.” Olitto bowed respectfully to Relfa. “Beautiful lady, I am Olitto Borg, a businessman.”

Out of politeness, Laelfa stood up, bowed to him, and introduced herself.

“Hello, Mr. Olito Borg, the merchant,” Raelfa bowed her head, adopting a humble demeanor, “I am Raelfa, the Dragon King.”

What are you doing?!?!?!

"Huh?" Olitto was startled. "You're kidding me, right?"

"Ah~ Sorry, it's an old habit, I can't help but want to play pranks." Rielfa stuck out her tongue. "My name is indeed Rielfa, the same as that Dragon King."

“Ha…please don’t tease me,” Olito said with a wry smile. “I’m just a novice.”

"Okay, okay," Rielfa agreed verbally, then changed the subject, "So let's get down to business. You're planning to make a deal with me, right?"

"That's right, please be sure to trade with me."

Once they got down to business, Olitó's eyes hardened, and Rielfa nodded in approval. However, since the details of the deal weren't confirmed yet, it was too early to say whether he was a novice or not.

"Well..." Rielfa also became serious, "Could you please tell me the details of the transaction first?"

...So you're the guest and he's the host, why does it feel like the roles have been reversed? Olito has been led by the nose the whole time.

Xiao looked at them blankly. Olitzo's attendant brought over some fruit, and seeing that she seemed a little bored, told her she could eat some. Come to think of it, that the fruit looked so fresh… how were they preserved?

“Um… it’s like this.” Olitto paused, then said, “I know your box has very special abilities. This is a box that has been enchanted with spatial magic, right? Inside are the equipment you prepared long ago, immeasurable equipment. Is there a problem with getting here?”

“…Go on.” Relfa didn’t answer him.

"Okay...so, I want to buy your suitcase."

"No need to discuss."
