A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 609: Stopping by the Adventurers Union for a moment.
Takeo and the others had come to the Adventurers Union office after Bedford's Green Fruit Shop.
Takeo asked for confirmation that what he had bought in the Katlanda Empire had arrived and transportation to Elvis Mansion, and was being passed to the reception room for confirmation and arrangement in the office.
By the way, the little ones are napping.
"We brought you some tea.
When a union woman brings everyone's tea and serves it, she sits in front of everyone.
"Thank you for the tea.
Takeo will thank you on his behalf.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry. Because the director of our office attended the meeting of directors within the Kingdom of Azpur, he went to Wang Capital and is absent.
I will deal with you today.
Nevertheless... Dear Kitamizato, Lady Alice, in the Wang capital they have been given a good name.
A union woman smiles bitterly.
"Hmm... which is it?
Alice puts her fingertips on her chin and thinks.
"Hehe.
I hear everything.
From the events in the Wang capital to the Lizard Dragon and Elves (...).
I saw a report from the other office... ha... "
The union woman leaks a sigh there.
"What's wrong?
"No, um... there's something I need to check.
Actually, apart from the brokerage fee for the request, the difference between buying materials and wholesale sales to vendors is also the income of the office.
"Well, I guess so.
"Dear Kitamizato,
How much did the Adventurers Union office in Wangdu offer when buying out the Lizard Dragon?
"Hmm?... isn't it a flat price within the organization?
Takeo asks strangely.
"Yes. I have a list of buyout prices at each office...
For once, I'd like to hear it just in case.
A union woman asks with a serious look on her face.
"Erm... sure, I was wondering if you got 30 gold coins as one gold coin, 10 oaks and 30 silver coins, two high oaks and 8 silver coins, and a Lizard Dragon with 3 gold coins/kg skin for a total of 10 kg worth.
Includes the cost of dismantling 9 oaks, 2 high oaks and 1 Lizard Dragon.
Takeo honestly teaches you what to pay.
A union woman listening to Takeo's purchase price makes a difficult face.
"That?... Miss Alice, it was definitely this amount, wasn't it?
"Yes, I'm sure.
Frederick, is this amount cheap?
"Well, I can't say anything either because I don't know the purchase price.
Frederick shakes his head and answers.
"... Dear Kitamizato, it ended with that amount, didn't it?
"Yes. I was wondering if you had transferred it today.
"I see... so much income..."
The union woman groans so convincingly as she makes a difficult face.
Takeo looked at that face and said, "You're definitely not convinced, are you? I thought."
"Is there a problem?
"Well... it will be a story in the union.
Dear Kitamizato, Miss Alice, if you can get the plain body as it is when you are crusaded in the future, will you let me make a purchase in our office (...)?
A union woman asks me to bow her head.
"I don't mind that... but if it's as far away as this one goes, it rots. Are you sure about that?
"I will give you the 'Big Bag Ver.87' of magic fixtures from our office as a side award for this request.
"" Big bag?
"Yes.
It makes an excellent magic tool that lets you put almost infinite amounts of what you put inside without rotting.
It produces extremely little and has a high rare value, which makes it an object that is barely distributed.
Union woman explains.
"That's convenient.
But what makes it free for us?
Takeo asks questions in a dazzling manner.
Takeo and a union woman stare at each other silently.
"... if you promise me that you won't say anything else and that you won't make it any more problematic..."
A union woman takes root and squeals bossly.
"Yeah, I don't mind.
Miss Alice, Miss Smith, Miss Frederick, that's good, right?
"Well, if Master Takeo says it's good.
"I'm fine, too.
"Let's make this a unique place for me, too.
Everyone snorts.
"Excuse me. It's a disgrace within me, so..."
"I don't mind.
Besides, that amount is fine because I was convinced on that occasion (...).
"Excuse me. I'll be careful in the future.
A union woman bows her head and says:
Takeo and the others said at this point, "Well, was there injustice in this attitude?," he looks at the union woman with a bright eye.
"... in the first place, the Adventurers Union aggregates revenue and expenditure reports for each office in the country every two weeks, and lists are distributed to each office.
At the same time, the report of the request is copied and distributed.
"Yes."
"This time, a report came the day before the director left for Wang Capital.
Normally, I don't really care, but we all saw the report at the top because we saw the name of Dear Kitamizato in the Oak and Lizardman reports.
"What does the report say?
"The report is basically only about what the request was and whether it was accomplished or not and how many demons were there, but the income and expense report that came on the same day is the problem, and for some reason in the last two weeks (...) the income is up more at once.
"You think income and spending don't fit?
"Yes.
The only big thing that happened in the two weeks that this report came out was about Kitamizato-sama (...).
Normally, income and spending have to increase by the same percentage (...), but it's unnatural that income is rising more unilaterally.
"But the report doesn't say anything about payments to me.
... but either way, this request is closed. There will be no point in protesting now.
"Yes, you're right.
It has been agreed and terminated between the parties, Lady Kitamizato, and the offices west of Wang Du.
So it's not like this office is going to talk... though.
Takeo and the others wonder because union women speak a strong word of denial.
"This is the first achievement project (...) that this office (we) has issued an A-rank assessment for.
In the unlikely event that the payment is intentionally (...) less, we will not allow it even by agreement.
This is important to see if Kitamizato can trust us in the future.
"Er... how little do you see?
Takeo said, "Nothing. I'm not mad, am I?" I ask with a bitter smile.
"... probably doesn't contain the purchase price as' meat 'for 11 oaks.
Just about the same amount as the 'Big Bag' I give you... sorry, you don't even have to come this far to hide it, do you? I think up to 11 gold coins are missing.
It will also come to the actual oak condition... but I think at least 6 gold coins should be increased.
"Surely 6 pieces of gold are huge (...) to overlook.
But as I said earlier, the amount I received was convinced by me on that occasion (...), so I'm not willing to make it a problem.
Until then, if you say you lack my confirmation. Well, if there's ever going to be a next time, let me make sure.
"Thank you for saying that.
I would like to make a purchase at our office after the next time.
We will make the purchase at a decent (...) price.
A union woman takes a seat and gives thanks.
"Yes, I understand.
Ask to buy here as much as possible in the future.
So, this officewise, do you say anything to the office west of Wang Du?
"Erm... I will send the interviewed purchase price to the director immediately.
If we send it as soon as possible, the arrival will arrive in the morning after tomorrow, so I was wondering if the director could make a decision there.
"Hmm. Do you hate the director over there or not?
Well, it's over in me, so do what you want.
"Yes.
I'm sorry about this time.
And, please confirm that I will bring a large bag.
and a union woman took a seat.
