"- Thank you very much for your help in the fight against bandits!

"" Thank you ""

The merchants' voices echo in one of the restaurants, built close to the heart of Fort Lace.

The first to raise his voice was Polio Pania, the lord of the merchant corps who helped during the day. He is a well-known merchant there, headquartered in the commercial city of Handel, with a gray-haired man named Meran sitting next to him. His cousin, Chionos, the seemingly good young man who sits next to him, seems to have a pattern called his daughter's son-in-law.

All three were born and raised in Handel, seemingly a raw merchant, with beautiful hands that seemed unrelated to the battle, and fifty years old would be over it. Polio and Melan were in a fuzzy shape that made them imagine a wealthy life.

I feel magic from some of the jewelry I wear, so each possesses some sort of magic prop. But they would never have imagined themselves fighting with weapons or anything like that. All three have an atmosphere seeping out that has nothing to do with the rough events.

But only a merchant whose name is quite well known in the commercial country, and there is no response. All three have a soft grin that doesn't seem to have anything to do with vigilance if they look each other in the eye, and they always speak up before the glasses and plates of us and the mercenary quartet are completely empty.

- You're just surviving with a handel.

Observing the merchants' arms, I recall the information I heard from the polios on the road to Wang Du.

The Pania Chamber of Commerce was woken up by Polio's grandfather, who deals mainly with building materials, etc. They have deep connections with famous architects and carpenters, and because of their connections and track record in securing materials, they are a popular chamber of commerce for customers who want to build buildings with strict delivery times and special structures. They also chew on one of the Fortrace additions and modifications, and they are so commercially soulful that they appeal to me to find that I am the "silver-haired purple-eyed boy" who has been making a scene in the shopping mall lately, or that there are also handouts leading to the upper levels of the land.

I am concerned about the elves and bandits, but the fact that there is a handout leading to the upper level of Fortrace, and then the personality with a high upward orientation, is very preferable. As soon as we got back to the inn, we figured out if there was anything wrong with polio and the others, so we should keep this edge connected for the first time. So this is how we are treating dinner right now.

"- It's cheap to say thank you for your lives, but we at Pania Chamber of Commerce will pay for your meals, so please, gentlemen, order as much as you like"

Polio's prestigious voice echoes indoors. But food and alcohol and other drinks were already available on the tabletop without gaps, and a voice of surprise and joy arose from the mercenary quartet, which had contracted escorts to Polio's proclamation showing the good air.

"Seriously."

"You did it, Captain! Looks like you can drink all you want."

That's what Hugo, the captain who was sitting next to Chionos and the young man with the song knife next to him, happily reaches for the liquor bottle. Across from those two, Cheney, a magician woman, and Alk, a bowman, spoke in a whisper with zero breath of admiration.

"I dreamed of having my lover bring me here, but I can't believe I'm going to taste the food here in this way... I feel so complicated"

"You're making a lot of money coming here with your lover, man. You can't do it without catching him. I said to Cheney," What did you just say? Alc ""

"Yes, no. Nothing..."

I guess this restaurant is quite a well-known luxury store to see from what Cheney was staring at with a kick and sharp gaze and what Alc was talking about. In contrast to the outside, where the calm atmosphere has been completely darkened after sunset, the interior is brightly lit with numerous magic props, and is decorated with good conditioning, headed by a desk or chair.

- This room was prepared for the nobleman's visit.

We are invited to a luxurious room with a group of mercenaries to thank us for repelling the bandits and have dinner, but it is subtle whether to take this response as excessive or commensurate.

The mercenary quartet is strong enough that even we, the newcomers, have heard the name. If the polios plan to do business in Fortrace in the future, it won't hurt to be polite.

But the seating order stands alongside Polio, Meran, Chionos, Captain Canel and Hugo, and in opposite fashion it is me, Mr. Richter, Julia, Cheney and Alk. I mean, I'm in the front of the polio, and I'm supposed to be in the upper seat in the location.

"Come on, come on. Enjoy your meal, Master Ruids."

And the extreme is like this.

"Thank you"

If you pour it into the glass without turning down the liquor offered, Meran and Chionos sitting across the street pour the liquor, just as they do to Mr. Richter, who sits next to him, and Julia, who is behind him.

Lord Richter, please.

"Excuse me, Lord Meran."

"How about Lord Julia soaked this fruit with alcohol or something? It's easy to drink and popular with women in Handel."

"Then there, please."

"I'm in awe. I'll bring you a new glass."

Chionos takes a seat to prepare a new glass.

Looking sideways at the situation, I think about the status quo. For once, in the setting that I am 'a young, brilliant but therefore slightly arrogant boy' at Fort Lace, Mr. Richter and Julia have spent time in the body of their squire. There's a good chance that a smart-ass merchant would know about our rumors, but this response is just too broken for you.

With that in mind, mouth the poured liquor. The quality of the dishes is not bad, some dishes use luxury ingredients such as perlitons, and the throats of the liquor you are drinking are good. In terms of location, interior decoration, ingredients used, and customer service, the size of the store is inside, and whether or not the Counts use it is subtle.

Although not the finest, it is a fairly luxurious store if used by merchants and civilians. Even though the reservation happened to be available, it is likely that this merchant named Polio will have negotiated with quite a few of his opponents within Fortrace, a wealthy customer who has been using the store since day to day, and can count on his connections. I guess it's also not a lie that there are handouts leading to the upper management. It's a pleasure.

However, although it is the sale to me on the road, the choice of shops, the seating order, the polite care and tone that leads to Mr. Richter and Julia that are friendly, I care that the actions of the polios are clearly directed against the nobility. There is no doubt that the Pania Chamber of Commerce will be a major stepping stone to the Royal Castle, which is easy to do if such merchants consider it aristocratic......

... where was he convinced he was noble?

After researching about the Pania Chamber of Commerce, I was somehow planning on getting a convenience by revealing that I was a nobleman, but what the hell is this all about? I also checked with Luce and the others about the clothes for the journey and the replacement weapon, so there shouldn't be anything strange about it. Why, as I tilt my neck in my chest, the sound of Catan and the chair moving, followed by a peeping voice striking my ear.

"- Were you still unsuitable for Ruid-sama's glasses at this level of the store?

If he interrupted his thoughts on the words thrown at him and turned to the person sitting in the front, Polio was frowning and smiling bitterly as he was in trouble rubbing his hands. Although I didn't mean that look maliciously, I just felt like I was having trouble dealing with it, but I cared about Polio's confident words, and I gaze at Mr. Richter.

- Why was he convinced he was a nobleman?

- I don't know. Why don't you camouflage it just in case?

Having exchanged such conversations with my eyes during each blink, I nod small at Mr. Richter's suggestion and crumble observe every move of polio as I utter the words that brought about the inclusion.

"No, I thought it was an extra famous store for me right now."

It's a common word of humility, but if you know who I am, you can expect some reaction with regard to the point of 'now', and even if you just think I'm some nobleman, if you put it this way in depth, you'll listen to yourself. We just need to be good from there and take the story to the reason the polios are convinced.

He has asked again with a slightly brightened look as he carefully observes polio to imagine the story unfolding and not to miss a slight reaction.

"Is that true? Is there anything offensive about that?

"I'm not so dissatisfied with your hospitality."

Immediately answer with a full smile to dispel the anxiety that seeps into Polio's face.

Then she finally relieved herself, exhaling small enough to remove her shoulder strength, and Polio reached for her glass. And I thought I moistened my throat so luxuriously that I could hear the sound all the time, it makes me laugh the most today.

"If you were satisfied, it was worth the effort to hold this room down. He said he recently got a chance to bond with the rumored Ruid-sama just because he was unhappy, but he didn't like it because the reaction wasn't aromatic, keeping it cool inside... hey? Melane."

"Yep. I thought you wouldn't mind seeing a handel or a handful of luxury carriages, and the three of you are on board are stunning famous horses that are out of step, such as the stunning horses our home grows for sudden delivery. On top of that, the two-handed sword that Master Ruid holds would also have been a delicacy made by some Dwarf masterpiece. We had also heard of the relationship between the three of you, so we rushed to arrange this room that this might be some nobleman..."

"Even Handel has only enough restaurants with rooms illuminated by so many magic props to count. But Master Ruid was not surprised, so he was terrified that he was more noble than he imagined."

Pisces hardened to the words of polio, told as he had his neighbor Melan poured toctok and booze, but stomped in temper and smiled. I deluded myself into being so upset, while deeply reflecting on my previous actions in my mind.

I see...... if you ask me. Indeed, their carriage was fast. And while fire is used as a common source of light, magic props that float light bulbs are rare. Arranged dishes and liquor are just fine...

I realize that I had to be surprised and happy, like a mercenary quartet, rather than discussing the character of the store from indoor dishes and such, and bite and crush bitters in my heart.

If you were to disguise yourself as some wealthy boy, you probably should have shown interest in a rare carriage or expensive room or been more snuggled up in a response that you wouldn't even put down there. I'm glad I was someone who didn't have that much of a problem exposing myself as a nobleman this time around, but if you're going to travel in secret of your identity, you have to be careful to those fine reactions.

Having never shown any surprise since entering the store, the polios are convinced that even if I quote low, they are out of the house above the countenance. That's why he was so polite to Julia and Richter. It is highly likely that noble entourage will be the offspring of divisions and subordinate nobles. In the unlikely event, he would have taken care to be polite so as not to be rude to both of us. Convinced.

"Goho!?

"Hot."

……

"Hey. Don't move your seat, Cheney"

The mercenary quadruple, who understood in previous conversations that we were nobles and perhaps a high-ranking category, choked, blued, softly released our seats, and whispered and embarrassed. In the meantime, I faced polio again.

"I apologize for distracting you"

It is a heartfelt word. Of course, I felt terribly sorry for all the care, because I was desperately speaking in a friendly tone while using my honorable name to match the settings I made to falsify my identity.

"There is no such thing!

Polio raps to see if he was relieved that I didn't deny the two of them the thought, or if he stepped on that there was a business opportunity.

"I've always had the anxiety that I did offend you. But from our point of view, the gratitude and expectation is greater that you have just protected your life and your load, or that you have been able to relate to people who would have had it been difficult to see your dignity if you were plain. I sincerely hope that at this time we can still connect this encounter of the day to the future!

The slight appearance of a polio who embarks on and speaks gives a glimpse of his enthusiasm for business. As he grinned unexpectedly at his momentum like that, Mr. Richter whispered with a glass of booze in his mouth.

"Handel merchants who feel the opportunity do not hesitate to invest ahead. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to look ahead and feed a little."

Wouldn't you be happy to hear the 'please' that you plan to do later? I snorted a little when I heard the outside word.

While you can't take the back of the Pania Chamber of Commerce, you should avoid using words and physical evidence to reveal your identity. If…….

So for a little while I conceived, I turned to polio using [the elegance of a superior aristocrat]. He then deliberately lifted his arms in a loose motion to create a more noble atmosphere and put his hands together on his desk, making him smile elegantly.

"Absolutely. The land is different from my country, so I'm glad I got to know the merchants who have a friendly relationship with the Fortrais, like the Pania Chamber of Commerce."

If spoken calmly, the silence surrounds the room with a skill effect. And a beat later, I heard an exclamation coming from there.

It's a trivial operation, but he was able to appeal to nobility successfully. Evidence of this changed the colour of the eyes of the Pania Chamber of Commerce and the atmosphere of the room became something of a serious flavour.

"Life away from my country will be inconvenient. Handel is not ashamed of the name of the commercial state, he can get food, jewellery, medicines, materials, manpower, anything, so please tell us what you want."

"Don't hesitate to speak to Lord Richter or Lord Julia."

"If you write down anything that's hard to tell a man, I'll have it ready for a female employee in Handel."

From the flowing selling of polio, melan and chionos, I'm sure they've eaten well, and I fucking laugh all over my chest. Then they're nervous about the chillari and the mercenary quartet feeling like they should just steal it, and obviously the pace of the meal was dropping.

Perhaps when they get home from this seat, they will somehow tell their families and familiar mercenaries about today so they don't buy unwanted grudges from us. And the rumor eventually reaches the upper ears as well.

Even if their connections cannot be used because of the absurd behind the Pania Chamber of Commerce, the rumors of the mercenaries will motivate the upper echelons to move with interest.

"Master Ruid. Would you like your next drink?

"Can I have the same thing"

"I'm in awe"

If he responds that way to the polio he has been calling out for, he stands up and takes the bottle of liquor from earlier. I softly raise the end of my mouth with the glass in my mouth when I feel a touch of his enthusiasm and the mercenary quadruple quietly accepting that the merchants are moving instead of serving.

- Sounds like you'll be able to get to the castle soon.

With such expectations close to certainty, I swallowed up the liquor left to offer polio a glass.
