Market Where You Can Even Obtain Gold
Scalding Sands - Zahab Market
Trey
We’re now in a very different market from earlier. Are you sure Malleus is in such a place by himself?
Jamil
Yes, there’s no mistaking it. He should be nearby.
Malleus
Where was everyone? I had been searching for you for quite some time.
Cater
Malleus?! Wow, he really is here!
Trey
Thank goodness… You disappeared all of a sudden, so we were worried that a disaster would occur if anything happened to you.
Cater
I didn’t think that Malleus would get injured or anything though~
Trey
On the other hand, I’m glad that Silk City is safe.
Malleus
What exactly is that supposed to mean?
Jamil
In any case, it seems that nothing had happened to you, correct? That’s reassuring.
Kalim
Aren’t you glad that you managed to find the rest, Malleus!
Jamil
Kalim!! Why are you here?!
Weren’t you supposed to do your greetings as one of the festival’s organisers?
Kalim
It finished faster than I thought, so~
Pa told me to take this chance to play with y’all since everyone’s here and all.
I was so surprised to see Malleus walking around all alone just as I was thinking of finding you guys!
Trey
I see. It’s fortunate that you two managed to meet by chance.
Cater
But how did Jamil know that Malleus would be here?
Seems like you two weren’t in contact either since you were shocked to see Kalim.
Jamil
Ah, so about that-
There is a GPS attached to the bells on the costumes.
Trey, Malleus and Cater
GPS?!
Cater
Wait, hold up a sec! Don’t tell me, it’s not just Malleus’s, but the bells on our costumes too…?
Jamil
Yes, absolutely. There is a GPS on each of them.
Cater
That’s so scary!! I’m gonna toss these bells out right now!!
…H-Huh?!
Trey
Th-There’s no way. They’ve been sewn on tight…
No matter how you think about it, isn’t attaching a GPS going too far?!
Jamil
Silk City is bustling with people.
It would be a disaster if, in the one in a million chance that someone truly went missing, they couldn’t even be contacted through their smartphone.
With that in mind, I am able to facilitate such a meet up with the help of a GPS. Wouldn’t you agree that it was useful in practice?
Trey
I mean… When you put it that way…
Malleus
By the way, what exactly is this “GPS” you speak of?
Cater
You were surprised even though you didn’t know what it was?!
Kalim
You can get any problem solved in a jiffy if you let Jamil handle it, y’know.
Jamil
Honestly, I just really don’t want any problems to occur.
Malleus
As Viper mentioned, this market is about as crowded as Camel Bazaar was.
Jamil
Yes.
Here in Zahab Market, you can find many stores selling silk products, tableware and other furniture in addition to food and beverages.
This, too, is an indispensable market to the residents of Silk City.
Trey
Is there any significance to its name like how Camel Bazaar does?
Jamil
The word zahab has the meaning of “gold”.
So the market was given the name to mean something like, “The market where you can even obtain gold”.
In reality, there are many stores here which deal in high quality goods.
Cater
Looks like there’s lots of Magicammable stuff here too ♪
Jamil
While I do wish for everyone to have an enjoyable time shopping here, I would also like all of you to please keep a close eye on your valuables.
This is because there are also scoundrels who prey on visitors who are here to purchase high-end products.
Cater
Hey, there’s lots of people gathering over there. Why’s that?
Jamil
That area is a dedicated performing space for artistes.
Trey
From juggling to balloon art to pantomimes… Looks like it’d be worth watching since there’s so many performances going on.
Malleus
Hm? The crowd is considerably larger over there.
Grim
Umyamya?! The monkey’s juggling beanbags while riding the ball!
Trey
That’s quite a smart and nimble monkey. I’m guessing the artiste by its side is its owner?
Cater
How cute~~!
*Snap!*
Grim
Hmph! That sorta thing’s easy to do.
Oi, Yuu. Try that out!
Trey
Grim thinks of himself as the owner in the relationship instead of Yuu…?
Grim
Of course! This is my underling, yanno.
Malleus
What an insolent monster. The monkey is likely far more well-mannered than you are.
Grim
What did you just-?! You’ve got some cheek for a mere Greenhorns!
Monkey
Ukiki!
Grim
Look, that monkey laughed at me! It’s making fun of me!
Kalim
Now, now, don’t get so mad~
So, how was it? There are loads of Scalding Sands-exclusive must-sees, right?
Cater
Yup, yup! From the traditional tentages to the colourful fruits and veggies, everything around me is Magicammable. It’s simply the best!
Trey
Yeah, and I was able to enjoy lots of novel food and drinks.
Malleus
Being able to experience the energy of the Scalding Sands’ residents was fascinating.
Kalim
Is that so~! That’s great!
It must’ve all been thanks to Jamil’s guidance.
But, y’know… Now I really wish Lilia could be here with us since all of you could enjoy your time so much.
Cater
He must be feeling super upset that he couldn’t come all because of a sudden stomach ache.
Malleus
Yes, he seemed particularly vexed.
Lilia enjoys travelling. He often goes abroad alone ever since his stay in Briar Valley.
For me, who rarely has the chance to leave Briar Valley, Lilia’s tales of his travels were especially novel.
I would look forward to the unusual souvenirs he would buy for me and it is a delight to receive them each time as well.
That is why I wish to give Lilia a souvenir this time to show my appreciation for all he has done for me thus far.
Malleus
So that’s your response. Then, do let me know your opinions as well.
Kalim
Yuu’s also saying so. I wanna get a souvenir for Lilia too!
Cater
Good idea, let’s all get something for him. I think Lilsy would definitely be delighted by that.
Trey
Yeah. Let’s give him a little of the Scalding Sands experience even if it might not be much.
Jamil
I believe you’ll be able to find something suitable if we search here in Zahab Market.
MC/Yuu
▶ Let’s go with that plan!
Jamil
Then, let us begin the search for souvenirs.
