"Please, it's small, but please take your time."I'll make you some tea right away.I'll serve yellow tea, a specialty of "Artemina Duke", so please try it. "
He was escorted by the maiden of the "Yokai Chamber of Commerce" and passed through the reception room of his home.
It is located in the "intermediate area" of "West Block" in the southern section of the labyrinth city "Gecko City".
It was quite a large mansion.
It's about half the size of the mansion in the "City of Magne" I first got, and it's about a third the size of a house, but it's much bigger than a regular house.
The "Yokai Chamber of Commerce" was said to be a small to medium-sized Chamber of Commerce.
They have shops selling groceries and liquor to the general public, as well as wholesale to lodgings and restaurants.
"Uge, it's a bit bitter..."
"It's nigga..."
"It feels weird ~"
Nia, Lily, and Chappie had a subtle impression of the tea that was said, "Try it without sugar."
Mr. Aistil and Mr. Bloor drink as usual.
By the way, Nia carries her own mini-sized tea cup and has it put in.
"Ahahah, I'm honest.That's probably what people say when they first drink it.I like the bitterness, but if you don't like it, you can add sugar. ”
Maidaman smiled cheerfully and poured out sugar.
This "yellow tea" has a light yellow color, like when Japanese tea changed from green to yellow over time.
... I'll try to put it in my mouth.
This taste... looks like Japanese tea... but it feels different from Japanese tea.
It feels like black tea with Japanese tea-style tannins, but it doesn't taste like Japanese tea.
It has a complex and subtle taste.
I can still drink it like this... but I think I'd better put sugar in it.
As I thought before, black tea is commonly consumed, and there are many tea trees in the region.
Black tea, green tea, and oolong tea can be made from tea trees.
It's just a different way of making tea.
I would like to try making various kinds of tea if I get tea garden and tea trees in the future.
I miss the taste of green tea...
Have you decided what to do with Maidaman and [Bibibi] in the future?
These people were worried about staying in the "Duchy of Artemina" or seeking a new land.
"Yes, these kids are still young... so they want to continue as adventurers.""When the number of customers decreased due to political anxiety, you told me that I would make money in the adventurer business..."So I'm going to stay in the Duchy of Artemina for a while. ”
“Really? Do you think you can handle the business?”
"It's tough, but... somehow."I was surprised to come back... but things have changed and sales have returned a little. ”
"That's good." What is a change of circumstances? "
"Actually... the eye-catching Chamber of Commerce has left this country, and after returning for a long time, the number of Chambers of Commerce has decreased considerably."The population is also decreasing, but sometimes the number of stores has decreased, and sales have not dropped as much as I thought.Some of the children who run the store worked hard. "
"I see... the number of customers has decreased, but the competition has also decreased."Don't hesitate to tell me if you have a financial difficulty, I will make a contribution at any time. ”
"Thank you, but... does the" "Fairy Chamber" "not have a shop in the" "Duchy of Artemina" ""? "
"For now, I don't think about it.There is also political anxiety, and I came this time to challenge the labyrinth with my martial arts training, so I am thinking of refraining from anything else. "
"Is that so...?" If so... could you officially put my [Yokai Chamber of Commerce] under the umbrella of the [Fairy Chamber of Commerce]?It would be easier to ask for funding, and I would like to buy the products of the Fairy Chamber of Commerce and sell them. "
Ms. Maedaman scratched her head in a slight indescribable manner.
"I don't mind... but you can lend money independently without falling under our umbrella."
"This is the Chamber of Commerce that I thought I'd hit once."It is enough for me to maintain the Chamber of Commerce.It would be more reassuring if you put them under your umbrella, and I think it would be helpful. ”
"I see. Now... you will be a member of the Fairy Chamber of Commerce."Let's do our best together! The details of the future business and transactions will be discussed with Saya, who is a member of the Fairy Chamber of Commerce. ”
"Yes, I understand." Thank you very much. "
I made a firm handshake with Mr Maedaman.
"So... right away... there was a big deal..."
Awesome! Did you have a deal right after you came back?
"Yes....."
"Talk to me is different from a normal business deal, right?"
"Yes, actually... it's a business meeting from the [Adventurer's Guild]... the first floor of the guild hall where the [Adventurer's Guild] is located is a tavern."The tavern is run by the Adventurer's Guild, but it's for the delivery of liquor and ingredients. ”
"Isn't that a good story?"
"... the guild tavern has a lot of people coming and going, so it's a good thing to be able to store goods there, but... if you handle it one-handedly, you have to deliver all kinds of goods without cutting them out.In the current state of political anxiety, it is not possible to predict which products will be unable to be purchased at any time.And because it is delivered at the cheapest price, the profits are low.It feels like a business that makes a lot of money... "
"I see... I can't say I'm happy to raise my hand."Certainly, if the delivery is delayed, it will be a credit problem.I'm worried because I can't see the future.Well, if it's something that can be procured in the "Kouriud Kingdom", I'll procure it in the "Fairy Chamber of Commerce", so it'll be fine.However, I don't really like selling numbers at a thin profit...Will you still be demanding a ridiculous price? "
"I think you'll be asking for a product with a low price.It's just... not that the guild wants to buy and make money, but the price offered in the tavern itself is cheap.Most of the visitors are adventurers.I can't put out a very expensive menu.Besides, there are many people who want to eat more than quality... "
"I see... even as a guild, it's a cheap menu that is easy for adventurers to reach out to, so it's good to have alcohol."
"Yes, there are some adventurers who earn money, so there are people who ask for expensive food and alcohol... but what comes out of this is cheap food and alcohol."The guild tavern is also a cheap way to support adventurers. ”
I see... it's like a raw cafeteria... like a school cafeteria or an employee cafeteria.
If you're operating with that in mind, you have to look for something that can be delivered at a low price...
