# 60 Negotiate with each country
Mr. Motch talks to me when Lily and Ion open from the front seat. The contents are handed over for part-time work. And when I receive it, Mr. Motch asks.
"Mr. Tact, you made some money before you knew it. Did you even take down the bounty neck?
"Well, that's the place"
In a way, it's not wrong. But what's wrong with this big money... Mr. Motch makes an unexpected suggestion that I'm worried.
"If you have that kind of money, you can move to another country."
Hmm? Wait, that statement is crazy, huh?
"Um... there's a terribly strong monster in the woods."
"Huh? Ah, ah. Is this about the god of guardianship?
Huh... is that boss God?
"Hey, did you fight or something?
"No, someone else fought and got away with it."
"That's a good decision. The woods of young trees. They call it the place where the trees of this world were born. It is forbidden from the state to defeat the Patron God who protects it."
Frightened!? What's that setup!?
"Uh, so how do I get to another country?
Yes, that's the key.
"All you have to do is pay for that and get a permit to move around in a carriage or something."
Uh, yeah... what's that reality about buying a train ticket and getting on a train?
"So where do I get that permit?
"You can have it in each guild. To some extent, they can't have it without a level, but, Tact, wouldn't you guys be okay?
Yeah... then could I have gone to another country pretty soon?
"By the way, how much for a permit?
"Prices vary from country to country."
Are you serious... or does that sound like there are all kinds of countries? Do you want to hear it?
"What country, by the way?
"From this town, you can go to the Mine Country of Veinleaf, the Free Country of Freedom, the Industrial Country of Wantwork, the Divine Empire Gones, the Reich Empire."
You got a country name all at once. Veinleaf is English... surely both Veinleaf and Leaf meant minerals and stones.
Is Freetier a Tear of Freedom? Is it a country that became free and wept?
I think Wantwork probably took it from the vernacular meaning that I want to work in English.
I think Reich meant a bigger state in German.
Did Gones take it from Godness? It means goddess, but is it a country that believes in goddesses? Anyway, let's hear a lot about it.
"Is there a characteristic of each country or something?
"Of course I do. Naturally, the main thing is to create weapons and protective equipment because Veinleaf is a mining country. It's called a blacksmith's sanctuary."
Well, if Mr. Crowe were to choose, would it be here?
"But you're also known as the blacksmith's graveyard."
That's why he's scared of the setup! But why not?
"Why are they saying that?
"This country is meritocracy, so if you have a blacksmith arm, you can go up there, but if you don't, other craftsmen will crush you. They say it's cold all year round in a mountainous country, so they're leaving the country because of debt, strong monsters, mountains and cold weather."
Scary, scary... too real... and why? A painting of Mr. Crowe wandering the mountain in a worn outfit passed my mind for a moment... yeah. It's your fault. Let's forget it.
"Is Free Country Free Tier the best country for you guys, Tact? Whatever the case, this country is the only one with no discrimination of any other race, with friendships with all races."
Heh. Sounds like a good country. Or is there discrimination... no, there was. That's what the blonde looked like during the culinary contest battle.
"Is this generally the case because wantwork is wantwork in this town too? Of course there are plenty of shops in the capital that can't be compared. If you want to make money, it's called wantwork."
That's a great way to say it.
"You don't have any information about Gones and Reich."
You don't have any information?
"What do you mean?
"Gones believes in the god of Gones. It's a country where only Goneses are allowed to enter the country. Honestly, it's a country where the Goneses say it's better not to get involved."
You feel like a typical religious country… you sure don't want to get involved.
"Reich is a military state, isn't he? I guess it features thorough law and military power. I think it's for the hard-headed."
Yes. You're not calm. You're gonna let war be an experience in the world of games? Well, I don't know what's going on… I guess I should go free-tier or want-work just now that I heard about it. Thinking about Lily and the others, is it up to you freelancers? But I have something to worry about.
"Is Mr. Motch okay?
"Surely it's a big blow to have you gone, Tact. So why don't you negotiate with your sister?
Boulder dealer, they have an idea.
"I'll just listen to you for now"
"Simple story, Tact. You want me to sell your cooking. Of course we'll have the transportation costs."
Heh. That's convenient. Does it feel like express delivery or trade?
"You can do that."
"It's not like you can do it in any country. Because Gones and Reich can't do it first."
You don't have a good image somehow. These two countries.
"Tact, you'd still be a freelancer, wouldn't you?
"Yes, because I want Lily and the others to have fun"
"Then, suggestion number two. Actually, there's a shop on the freetier that my father built, right? It's bankrupt and it's not used anymore."
That's sad.
"So, Tact, why don't you guys live in that store?
What...?
"Uh, are you saying you want me to run a store?
"I'll leave it to you, Tact, whether you do it or not. Do I feel like I'm lending you the house and the land of the store? Instead, Tact, the price of your dishes is conditional on you being cheap. What do you say?
I see... it would be helpful to have a base in New Heaven and Earth - thank you Mr. Motch for your help, and I guess we'll get on with the story here.
"I'll take that story. But won't it be negative?
"That's not true. There's no such thing as a store where you can eat cheap 3-star chef dishes. Oh, my God."
Mr. Motch looked around meaningfully. What the fuck?
"Tact, you're an adventurer. Excellent dishes other than Boa meat and Abrahaia may line up in this shop."
All the customers who were in the store stood up for the words. Uh, you were listening. Sure, it's going to be popular in shops with all kinds of new dishes. Especially if it's this town.
"That's why. Negotiations are in place. Let's go to the guild as soon as we're done cooking."
"Yes."
That's why I kept making snacks, leaping my heart into towns, countries, and our own homes that I'd yet to see.
