thanks so much

 

[Simkin]

I'm getting Warcraft III vibes.

@Simkin

Why warcraft III?
Just because "the entire city must be purged" or?

 

[Simkin]

@Goldenzeal

That and the commander seems unwilling to listen to any other insight. Just blind duty.

This sounds like too much coincidence.

Sure, panic and paranoia can easily justify why the inn owner is being accused of having the disease but it still doesn't add up, the disease is known but it is clearly being controlled, she and the other settlers are practically isolated from most people and to reach them it is needed to pass by the main village so on that note if she and the other had it that village is as good as dead too, but the soldiers are going directly to her.

I can think of two options: It is jealousy because she was granted amenities with taxes... but still, it would be too much for some other village to cause all this because of that, more so with the many details pertaining to investigation and veracity; The other reason, it is the spice her and her husband discovered, which is the most likely reason, as spices were always a commodity that gave a lot of money for those trade it, but there is still the fact that she isnt the owner of the spice she is just a cook the feudal lord is the one that would have ownership of its trade.

There are still missing pieces here, this first try from Bard may not end well as these soldiers have already too much in mind and are resolved because of their grim task.

I can only assume someone is falsely attributing her as having the disease in order to secure that root she mentioned.

 

[CKN]

If one had the possibility to monopolize rare goods, the merchant would take the chance.

 

[karanga]

@riflow wasabi is expensive indeed

 

[no0neknows]

yaaaay an update! Thanks!

 

[YerRob]

Disease is almost certainly a lie. Something as deadly as that would instantly warrant a complete purge of the town. No one but the ones setting the fires would remain alive, and yet the army was pretty much just chilling along with the rest of the town

 

[CraniumAmbiguity]

I also believe this is a cover story for something else. But if they set the village on fire doesn't that endanger the root crop? You know by setting the place on fire.

@karanga agreed this is clearly wasabi.

 

[RudoRonuma]

False claim probably. There's a lot of angles which the author can take on who threw the bone. It can be the feudal lord, the neighbors or even a neighboring territory just trying to shake the wasabi industry.

 

[knismaps]

@Dinokin First speech bubble, "alochol" should be "alcohol."

 

[RC1138Boss]

A rare and expensive plant used in culinary? Plus some sort of magical fish?

Yeah it seems like someone is trying to take over the competition...

 

[DerpySausage]

Your proofreader needs to be more careful. There were a decent few grammatical errors in this chapter.

 

[Konrad2]

Thanks for the translation.

 

[Coldyfox]

mmmmmmh wasabi, hot hot wasabi, yes

 

[maisonaustyn]

Drink at the beginning sounds like root beer

 

[karanga]

@CraniumAmbiguity Well i dont think so, i may have to re read it but i belive the ladys homestead is away from the village, they bought the"white wine" and then went there, in fact they go back and forth by horse. The knights could cover up the whole "burning away the plague" using some smoke and trashing her house only and none would dare go there. With no relatives the land would default back to the local feudal lord along with all the "special fish" and "totaly not wasabi" roots.
