When I asked Mercia, it was easy to find out where Catherine was.

Even today, I seem to have finished my work, and I was mentoring a newly hired magic artisan at the Chamber of Commerce.

I haven't heard that kind of talk, but I don't think it's a problem because the amount of investment is small and the profit seems to be coming out.

"It's been a long time, but how are you?

"I'm getting used to it a lot and I can make it more efficiently. I make it twice a day until I run out of magic, so I can spend the rest of my time teaching and resting."

Has the efficiency improved? I heard that production has not risen. "

"That's right... why?"

I think it might be a sign of a dragon coming out, so I'll try to appraise Catherine.

As a result, there was only an increase in the relationship and maximum magic of the level, and no apparent cause was found.

Since there is almost no magic left, it does not mean that the magic has not been exhausted during production.

It doesn't mean the maximum value is decreasing, so the dragon won't matter.

"... I don't know"

"Really... well, it seems that the unit price of magic equipment has been rising recently, and the revenue is increasing. Did you come here today to talk about it?

"No, it has nothing to do with that. I want a magic tool called" Frost ", don't you know?

"I don't know any magic equipment of that name... is it magic to freeze things?

"I don't know."

"I don't know... what do you use something you don't know?

"Maybe, but I'll use it to freeze the dragon."

I don't know what the details are because they weren't written in the book I received, but I don't think there's anything else.

"Maybe..."

"Well, just in case, make something like that. I'd like someone who can strengthen it with Whisper Core."

As far as the status of the people around me is concerned, it doesn't seem to bode well.

"I don't know if it will work against dragons, but I do. If you want to take advantage of the output of the Whisper Core, I think it would be better to dispose of the type that cools each space."

"Per air. The range is likely to expand considerably, but is the output sufficient?

"Usually it's tough, but with Whisper Core, the monsters in line should be powerful enough to freeze the air."

Will the opponent die?

I don't know if it's enough for a dragon opponent, but it should be enough to prepare.

"All right, that's what I asked for."

"Yes"

I tested the newcomers before leaving the store, but they all had inert magic.

Like Catherine, everyone has a lot more magic than the average person.

Perhaps he established a way to use his inert magic while I was gone.

Well, business is done.

I wonder if there was anything I could do....

Speaking of which, what about the medicine?

As far as the surrounding situation is concerned, the potion may not be enough.

Or rather, it is highly likely.

In such a situation, it would be good to tell me, but if there was a reason why I forgot to tell you, it would be terrible.

When I think about it, I don't even know exactly how much Zunana herb concentrate is in stock, how much it's made and how much it's sold.

I hear things are going well, but that's all.

It won't hurt to know while we have time.

So I decided to ask Mercia about it.

"Hey, what's going on with Zunana grass lately?

"As always, you can sell as much as you make, and they say you can make as much as you want, but what's wrong with that?

"What do you mean there's been a particular shortage lately?

"Demand is growing, but supply is low from the beginning."

"How short is it and how much money is it now?

"We've tried to make production as efficient as we can, but it's about 10 liters for Nissan and 300 for medicine. The price has been revised recently due to the noise, and now it is about half a million tels per liter."

"What are the costs and production bottlenecks?

"The cost includes fuel costs, labor costs, etc., about 130,000 tels per day across the Chamber of Commerce, and the bottleneck is the size of an island that has become farmland, but even if the farmland is expanded, it will soon lack distillation capacity, so the current system is limited to just under 15 liters of Nissan. I'm getting a little worried about the ship's transport capability."

More than 4.8 million tel per day....

It's the level at which the house is built every day, but there's still a shortage of medicine.

"Even if we increase production by about 10 times, can we still sell it out?

If we don't think about it later, we should be able to do about 100 times what we have seen so far.

But the Zunana farm is like a baked field, so you should hold it down about 10 times when you think about rotating it.

"... major chambers of commerce are transporting to distant cities, so I think it would be about 10 times as much as it would sell out immediately even during normal times. Naturally, the price will drop, so the profit per volume will be reduced."

"How far will it fall?

Even if the income is subtle in terms of risk, I would like to do it if I could, because increasing the production of medicine would help humans fight monsters.

However, if it is too unprofitable, I think it would be good for the Chamber of Commerce to take the initiative, so I will ask.

"I wonder if the current 70% is good, or at worst about half the price. In normal times, it could fall another 30%."

After a quick calculation, if you multiply production by 10 times, your income will increase by about 4 to 7 times.

Even if it had increased fivefold, the daily income would have increased by about 19 million.

... well, we can recover the cost of building a Mythrill transport vessel that costs 190 million tel per vessel in 10 days.

What a shabby business.

Besides, it can contribute to society.

Is there a reason not to do it? No.

"All right, let's see what happens first, and we'll multiply it tenfold."

"... I thought you said that somehow, but we're going to have more ships. Are you all right, sir?

"Of course we have enough money, and the Liberians we defeated last time are a long time away, and if we cut them to pieces, we can make about 10 ships of the previous level. What else do you need?

"I would like six new ships and about six distillers if the ship were equivalent to what I have just seen.

Six ships, a lot.

As far as I can tell, I don't think we need the same number as the distillation equipment.

"Why do you need so many ships?

"When it's 10 times the size of the island, the distance to the farmland will grow. Then, the magic power ship has a small number of round-trips between here and the island due to the magic equipment loaded on it. However, non-magic powered ships are useless in the vicinity of monster space."

Each ship returns to and from this island?

Sounds kind of inefficient.

"Why don't you look for the right island, pack up your baggage there, and take it on a big boat?

"... such hands! It's certainly efficient!

You look like you've never heard of this method before.

"Hasn't anyone ever thought of that before? What were the chambers of commerce doing with other ships?"

"Before that, I think this is the first time our Chamber of Commerce has talked about using ships to continuously send large quantities of supplies near the realm of monsters."

If you think about it, you've never heard of it.

You're ahead of the times!

Really?

Yes, that's right.

"... well, I'll keep the ingredients and the money later, so if you think it's better to transport them that way, do so. Maybe I'll go to my next job before the first ship is finished."

"I see. What about the distillation equipment? Without Kaede-san, it would be difficult to transport it to the island, but if we collect it from now on...."

Sure, if you suck, it's like a house built on one machine.

I don't think there is a place where all six planes are made.

"Let's do something about it. If it's not enough, just turn it for a few minutes."

"I understand."

"Anything else?

"No."

"All right, I'm going to the field."

"Yes, I'm going to get a job."

Jobs?

Writing about it as an at-home workplace may make it easier to get people together.

In terms of treatment, it seems quite white, but the job description is an endless grasshopper named………………………………………………………………………….

It's not a problem at present in terms of cost, but maybe we should mechanize it somewhat in time.

With that in mind, he repairs the island and explodes.

I used to feel like I was doing it slowly, but now I'm in the flow area.

It's a simple job to knock explosive magic into the island you see and throw one of the last massive anchors you've brought in.

There are too many islands to deal with, so if you don't do this, you'll lose sight of them.

Repeat the work dozens of times.

Appropriate calculations have been made, but the work is finished because a candidate site for Zunana Farm has been created that is about nine times the amount of farmland previously available.

I also wanted to build a sugar cane farm, which is the original reason why I started harvesting chestnut grass, but I left it with you now.

I wanted to take a break, but I couldn't do it either.

The distillers must be collected by the time I leave.

As a result, as soon as the opening work was completed, he literally made his way to the blacksmith in Elela at the speed of sound.

"Excuse me! Please sell the distillation equipment!

"Oh, the rich kid from last time! Just one, the same 5.3 million as before."

"I'll buy that too! But I want six. Can you get five more?

"You don't have so much to offer...."

"Anywhere else?

"I'm the only one making this in this city, not in any other city. How long do you need it?

From what I've heard, we have about six days before the ship arrives today.

Considering the travel time....

"I wonder if it's the fifth day. It can be a little higher."

"I can't make two cars in five days... if it costs about 10 million each, I don't think I'll have to ask another blacksmith to make one, but I can't do it with boulders, right?

Double.

It will be about 5 million per vehicle, a total of about 25 million.

Honestly, it doesn't suit half a million tels a day.

But.....

"No, please. I'll pay you in advance."

Take out 5 white gold coins and 53 large gold coins.

It's not just about making money, it's also about reshaped frontline support.

It's a big deal anyway, so if you give it back to the market somewhat, it won't hit the bees.

"Whoa, seriously! I don't feel comfortable taking the expensive money for the same product... but I see. I can make two of them here, so I can pay 50 million for six of them."

"Thank you."

And when I forced the money to say things like this and prepared the boat and equipment in a short period of time, the day came when the boat arrived quickly.

I was busy, but I managed to finish all the work I needed to do.

I'm ready to freeze.

Now you can focus on the "Funaya-san" escort mission to protect the ship from the dragon that neither I nor I do.
