บท 264: Birchan Open Market (2)

When the sun finally rose overhead, the people of Birchan made their way out into the city to begin their days, heading to work, beginning their chores, or just going out to relax and have some fun.

And, with a city as large as this, some of the most popular spots to visit were the markets, where you could always search for a deal or a cool new thing that you never even knew you needed.

For us, our day started off with us joining the other merchants as we shouted out our wares, trying to draw in customers with our goods.

Produce, Wood Carvings, and Baked Goods...

Three things that all seemed rather intriguing to the people of Birchan, and when you added on the good looks and exposed cleavage of Kalia and I, well...

"Hey miss! How much for some biscuits~?"

"Oh, not so quickly! Hey gorgeous, I'll gladly eat your cakes~!"

"I was here first! Miss, how much for some hea- I mean for the cornbread?"

Three women stood in front of me, their eyes constantly getting pulled down towards my breasts as they stood in front of me, trying to catch a better view as they shimmied around; for Kalia, she was experiencing the same thing I was, while Camara rolled her eyes before smiling at the women that inspected her carvings, focusing more on her goods then trying to sleep with her.

But, neither of us cared as we answered the customers questions and haggled some prices with them, making them part with some coin as we flashed some extra skin and cut deals as best we could.

Dropping a few coppers into my palm, an Elf smiled at me as she accepted the offered milk bread, taking a bite of its still warm dough and nodding her head.

"This is pretty good! A shame there isn't an actual glass of milk to go with it... Still, really tasty."

Waving at her as she left, I turned back and stared up at the frowning Orc above me, her eyes trailing over the various baskets before landing on my chest, which went up to my veiled face next.

"Two of each."

Nodding, I retrieved each pastry and bundled them with a cloth, handing them to the Orc after she dropped a silver into my hand.

Looking me over for another few moments, she turned and walked away, making me slightly confused before turning towards the next customer, who wanted to order some cornbread.

Surprisingly, unlike in Tusk where sex was blatantly open, the markets here were a tad more 'professional' with that, having tents or 'walls' set up to create areas where people were clearly having sex of some kind, be it oral, vaginal, anal, whatever...

That might have also been why everyone was looking but not offering, since the amount of people showing up to stare had only increased, but no one made a move, like that Orc.

Similarly for Kalia, the Dark Elf was handing out her bushels with a smile as people purchased the produce, trying their hardest to not just blatantly stared down her cleavage, but failing miserably.

It was an interesting experience, and the pile of coins beside us each steadily growing as we earned a profit, though Camara certainly made the most out of us all, likely more than Kalia and I combined as she sold jewelry and her figures for high prices, haggling based on intricacies, details, story, fame, material...

You name it, my eldest was using it to wring out as many coppers as she could from each person, going from 5 Silvers to 20 Silvers depending on the level of detail and how the person held themself.

Watching her from the corner of my eye made me quite proud as she scanned the people, taking in their attitude, attire, and how they held themselves to determine if they'd pay more or less for a statue, making sure to hit their ranges as best she could.

Kalia and I had less 'fun' in that regard, since we held set prices for our goods with no room to haggle, but the fun came in those customers that tried to 'flaunt their wealth' by buying in bulk from us, allowing us to make some deals for buying in bulk, all while making them spend more as we puffed our chests out or gave them a smile.

Yiksa and Via surprisingly had no use for quite a few hours, sitting back and dozing off as the customers remained civil and respectful, with the worst being the few women who would blatantly ask if Kalia or I would suck their cocks for a few silvers, making us stare at them before they left, slightly embarrassed as everyone just shook their heads at that.

The only time I actually made Yiksa stand up was when a well dressed - yet not extremely rich looking - Sun Elf crouched in front of me and asked me to show each of my baked goods, before she tried to reach forwards and say that she'd buy everything if she got to see my face.

Grabbing her wrist, I just spoke Yiksa's name and willed her forwards, the Dark Elf scooping up her sword and standing beside me, staring at the Sun Elf with a serious expression.

"Hey..! Unhand me, commoner! I'm a Noble!"

The Sun Elf tried to yank her hand free from mine, but I just squeezed her wrist slightly, making her blanch.

Yiksa showed off some of the swords metal blade, the sound of the blade scraping against the sheath making the woman blanch even further as we stared at her, before I released her hand and said "Try that again and you'll lose your arm. If I wanted you to see my face, do you think I'd be wearing a veil?"

Rubbing her wrist, the Sun Elf took a few steps back before sneering at me, her voice slightly shaky as she replied "I bet you wear that 'cause you're hideous! Stupid fucking commoners..."

The surrounding area was quiet, said 'commoners' staring at the Sun Elf as she stormed away, their eyes cold.

We all watched as she walked away, before the warmth and energy of the market returned, with a few of the merchants nearby nodding to me, while the customers clicked their tongues.

Selling a little more, I decided to take a break for a bit after that, storing my crates beside Yiksa before standing up, stretching out my tense shoulders and arms, whilst my thighs and calves burned nicely, making me groan softly.

Well, it wasn't that bad of a day so far, but I was a bit curious about the rest of the market, and I decided that we should get some food for ourselves now since it was approaching noon.
