I Shall Survive Using Potions!

[Na, Nanana]Raton

The merchant finally got his voice after recovering from petrification.

[I, I wont be tricked!]Raton

No, I already succeeded.

[No, I wasnt tricking you, Im being honest with you since the beginning Ive never said that I was an , you couldnt even give a proper explanation, and you were just talking one-sidedly that I couldnt comprehend anything that you were saying.]Kaoru

When I said that, the merchant fell silent, it seems hes wondering if there was a degree of error in their part.

And so

[Ex, excuse me! Ill be on my way.]Raton

At that moment, he made an apology of some sort and quickly withdrew.

[As expected of Kaoru-chan! Your expertise in tricking people is beyond our reach]Francette

And Francette said something ridiculous

[Youre not even praising me at all!]Kaoru

Anyways, that would be for the first chapter.

Next is the royal palace.

[Is the shopkeeper here?]Marielle

The next person who came today was not from the royal palace.

(Ma, Marielle? Why is she)Kaoru

Yes, its Carloss owner, The Viscount of the Leffel house, Viscountess Marielle von Leffel.

I didnt tell her my true name or identity, and of course my whereabouts. So Marielle should only think of me as . And thats why I purposely descended to the human world

So how did she find out Im here?

Is it just a coincidence?

Did she come here to this shop for something else?

But what kind of business does the head of an aristocratic family herself have in a relatively small retail store run by a commoner?

I was stuck because I could not predict the reason for Marielles visit

[Is there a clerk or shopkeeper here?]Marielle

Eh?

Im not disguised as much right now, right?

Certainly, at that time I changed the color of my hair and eyes, but I turned back my chestnut-colored hair to black, and it shouldve been a color change that would completely change the image, like turning a blond hair to silver hair.

The color of my eyes was changed fromlight-blue to brown so it should change a lot, but its not as much that would make one looks different. And although the color of my skin was a little white, it wouldnt mean that some sunburn usually makes people indistinguishable. It shouldnt be obvious after that

In fact, that time when I was reunited with Francette, even though the first time I met her, I had silver hair and my eye color was different, also the fact that a goddess shouldnt have been seen walking around the city. How did she discover me in one glance?

I mean no way

I held my hands a little and raised my index fingers.

Then, I placed my fingers on the outer corners of both of my eyes, then I pulled my fingers downwards to make my eyes look droopy.

[Ah, My Goddess!]Marielle

I knew it, in just a single glance!!

After that, I locked the door, hung a temporary tag, I closed the curtains, and moved to the second floor. For the time being, hearing from Marielle is a top priority.

Aside from us, theres Francette, Bell, and Riette-chan. Marielle is the daughter of an aristocrat, so they were a bit nervous.

The men will be listening in the next room. Since the walls were almost paper-thin, the soundproofing is quite bad.

Marielle is a Viscount, but she thinks that I am a goddess, and its a hassle, so its okay to speak, you know?

[Its bad! A merchant from the royal capital!]Marielle

Un, I know

[And there are those who seemed to be the people of the royal palace!]Marielle

Un, I know

[Furthermore, they seemed to be looking for a girl with a bad eyesight]Marielle

Un, I know that too

And Marielle is seriously staring at my face.

[Was it about the goddess]Marielle

Un.

So, for the time being, I just want to know.

[How did you find me here?]Kaoru

Where did the information leak from? I must locate it, crush it, and close the leaking hole. That is the first priority.

And then, looking closely at Marielle

[Oh, I asked my dogs.]Marielle

[Eh~a?]Kaoru

An unexpectedly stupid voice came out from me.

[No, I said my dogs The goddess]Marielle

[Ah, wait! For the time being, stop that thing. Well never know where the peoples ears are listening from.]Kaoru

[Ah]Marielle

Umu,it seems she understood.

[I am Kaoru]Kaoru

[Ah, yes!]Marielle

There is no point in introducing myself as to Marielle. And shell hear Francette and the others call me anyway.

Then, when I asked Marielle once more, apparently, Marielle asked the dogs of the Viscount family to seek my whereabouts. First, they guided her to the place where I was feeding the dogs and crows before and smelled my scent from there. It seems that they traced it and found me here. They can trace my scent from the Viscounts Mansion, but they said that itll be faster if its from that location

Damn it, such a good nose. For dogs only.

It seems that time she arrived here at closing time, so she decided to visit again on a later date and went home on that day. And now shes here.

[Oh, by the way, the dogs and the crows didnt stop me!]Marielle

[I see, it was unplanned that Marielle could talk to animals, and in the first place I never thought that the dogs or crows would expose my whereabouts!!!]Kaoru

Yes, originally my plan was to give Carlos the ability to speak human language. But at the request of Marielle,Ihurriedly changed it to.

Marielles peace of mind is that she can reliably support stray dogs and crows, also she will not break the promise of , which is a reward for cooperation. It was because of it that she was satisfied with the explanation. But, it was a sudden change, so I wasnt comfortable with not checking the corrections that came with it

Well, its my mistake.Its no use overthinking it.

But there is one important thing that I need to confirm.

[Marielle, whats the chance that you were followed when you came here?]Kaoru

When I asked, Marielle answered with a serious look.

[Yes, I know that things dont go , so I cant say that the possibility is zero. However, the probability of me being followed up to this point is quite low

I sneaked out of my house normally in a plain appearance, rented a room at a store I talked to in advance, then exchanged my clothes with a maid who looked like me, she had a similar hairstyle and hair color. Then I left the back door a while after the maid left the store.

And after that, the disguise work similar to that was done two more times. But even after all of that, even if there was a persistent pursuer that was quite familiar with tailing someone. The brute force of passing through the busy main street and the intensity of the retrogression to the flow of people, etc., I think that the pursuit would probably cut off.]Marielle

Marielle! Who the hell are you!
