The Commercial Guild's entry check has been successfully completed. The result, of course, was a great success. The investigators of the Commercial Guild have been burning the soul of the merchant, but it is likely that the energy is heading in a good direction.
The day after the meeting and the upcoming business meeting, Apollo once again guided him to the village of Theato and surprised him by showing him the lake where Apulia lived. After that, Apollo left the village and went home.
I really wanted to see the dungeon, but I left in a hurry saying I couldn't afford to miss a big business opportunity.
Personally, I wanted to surprise the adventurers by showing them the resting place they built before the dungeon, but I'll do it next time.
In the meantime, it was a good achievement to qualify to deal with commercial guilds that affect countries. I was wondering what to do if the Berlango Chamber of Commerce was wronged and treated by each Chamber of Commerce and other countries to stop trading, but it was a reversal of the blow.
If the Commercial Guild investigators are interested, the other nobles won't be easily harassed.
"Oh, good, good." It wasn't what I thought, but it turned out to be Owlie. "
With that, the bells and langos that were participating in the launch nodded.
"It's true, my Berlango Chamber of Commerce will now be treated on an equal footing with the Mary Chamber of Commerce." After all, you gained the highest level of authority to deal with the Commercial Guild. ”
"That's because it's a new chamber of commerce that's just been formed." If you think about it in the future, other chambers of commerce will probably be able to ignore it as well. "
Rango adds that he agrees with Bell. Since the end of yesterday's meeting, the two were suddenly relieved.
Even now, I've been coming to the office of the lord's hall in the morning and happily talking about my future prospects.
"... are you okay to come to me with both of you?"
"It's okay, I'm putting some restrictions on it right now." Employees have also become apprentices. I'll do my best to maintain the store..... "
Nikoniko laughed and replied with a bell, but she heard a knock on the door and grabbed her mouth.
When I send my gaze, Kamsin nods silently and opens the door. There stood a young man from the Berlango Chamber of Commerce who had been taken to Till. You must have been one of the most valuable pedestrians in history.
The young man bowed his head in front of the room without hiding his disgruntled face. And I stared at Belle and Lango.
"Chairman"
The bell and lango twisted their faces.
Huh, did you get stuck at work after all?
I don't know if it was that bad.
When the two of them open their mouths at the same time, the young man pulls his eyebrows together and reports that a problem has occurred.
“Adventurers are demonstrating, and other villagers are complaining.”
Huh?
When did you just limit your day?
The two blinked their eyes at such a report. Exhaling a sigh, the young man puts his hand on his waist and shakes his neck from side to side.
“Every month, new adventurers come to Theato Village to hear rumors. Due to restrictions, it will be sold out early in the morning, and the purchase of beast materials and ore will end before noon. New adventurers don't know that, so they're complaining.”
Huh?! A new adventurer!?
You've been here the last day, haven't you?
"It's increasing every month." It's not weird. Rather, I should have anticipated it. "
And the three were silent for a moment after such an exchange. Compositionally, it was a drawing called Belle and Rango, which were completely offended by the subordinates.
I knew you were optimistic.
Thinking of that, I wave with a smile.
"Don't worry about me, you two go back to the store." Good luck with that. "
That said, for some reason a young man looked at us.
"I don't have enough weapons to build Master Van... when will they be delivered?" By the way, the great swords, straight swords, swords, spears, etc. are sold out. "
Huh?
Polite, but slightly dissatisfied, the young man's words unexpectedly give way. Last month, we were supposed to have delivered more than a hundred swords and spears.
My weapons are simply priced in terms of size, from 10 to 20 gold coins for large weapons and from 5 to 10 gold coins for medium weapons. If it's small, it's between one and five gold coins.
But with an iron weapon, it would be quite expensive. By the way, you can also make weapons such as mithrils, but because they are entirely made to order, the price is the market price.
It is said that the weapon is being sold out. Since they are made one by one, they shouldn't be broken.
"... how many new customers do you have each month?"
"Last month, about two hundred people visited, and just under one hundred have left the village." By contrast, more than 300 people have already visited this month, with hundreds of pedestrians escorting them and mercenaries heading to neighboring countries. ”
Fifty percent more!
I was surprised by the young man's answer. New customers are mostly people who come to hear rumors. That's an increase of 50% in a month... how much Theato Village has been the subject of discussion in other territories?
The report said that there was a steady increase in the number of villagers in the village of Theato, but the adventurer's town would become overpopulated.
The Knights are growing every month, and if the population grows, it will be harder to manage.
"Damn it. We need to do a lot of maintenance before the residents blow up their grievances...!"
Murmuring, he stood up in a hurry.
The armor will be ready by tomorrow, so for now, please take care of the work of the Chamber of Commerce!
I told Bells that, and then I looked at Till and Kamsin.
"Hurry up and get Espada and Dee!" Emergency meeting! "
Yes, yes!
When I gave instructions, the two of them stretched their backs and replied and ran out of the office.
My vigilance towards the Commercial Guild has made my work as a lord a little too neglected. Usually, Esparda would send me a small message, but this time, I was judged to be busy. It was only a normal report.
After waiting for a while, Dee immediately joined in.
I heard it was an emergency!
"Emergency meeting, meeting."
"Mm, emergency meeting"
For some reason, Dee muttered with some pleasure and sat down on the chair.
Espada was a little late because she left the management of the newly created adventurer town to her, but she arrived a little later.
"... I heard it was an emergency meeting."
Conceitedly bowing her head, Espada also shows up.
It felt like it had been a long time since I had met the two of them together, but I hadn't been free for as long as I'd missed them, because I had been meeting them weekly for swordsmanship and study until the story of the commercial guild came up.
You've both gathered so well.
Encourage Espada to sit on the chair while saying that. She gently pulled her chin, and Espada sat down without making any noise. Meanwhile, Till and Kamsin are closing the door and moving to my side.
Seeing that everyone was looking at my face, I opened my mouth.
"As you know, thanks to everyone's cooperation, the commercial guild was the best." After that, there may be aristocrats who ignore my existence, but I don't think it's okay to worry too much about that area. "
Saying so, Dee and Espada nodded.
“The biggest problem right now is population growth. It's an adventurer town that I thought about as much as a station town, but I think I'll expand it there."
And I said the policy along with raising the issue.
Besides, Dee and Espada staggered their gazes. For a second, Dee raised the edge of his mouth as if he had won, and Espada nodded silently.
"What? What? Something strange?"
When the two of them tilted their necks without knowing how to react, Dee bursts out laughing.
"No, last week, I got a consultation from someone who is worried about my health." We need to do what we can at least do because Lord Van doesn't have enough hands. But I told you, didn't I? I wonder if Lord Van doesn't understand the situation in your territory. "
When Dee said such a thing in a way that included it, a wrinkle caught between Espada's eyebrows.
"I didn't consult you like that." However, until Lord Van's policy was decided, I told him that we should use both knights to gather materials. "
He seemed anxious to talk about it.
You must be mistaken.
Unusually, Dee replied sarcastically, and Espada shrugged her shoulders.
Apparently, they were discussing this issue before I realized it. [M]
I can't say that I noticed it now, so I smile at the faces of the two of them.
"Don't say a lot of things because you think I've become a public figure. Thank you."
Having said that, they blinked their eyes and then loosened their air.
It's still far from the kingdom's greatest swordsman.
"Knowledge as a lord, passion as an aristocrat, both are still a long way off."
