I told the "Magic Slime" liqueurs who protected me from the orphanage to keep my guards tight in the future.

"Thank you, Mr. Grimm. Are you hurt?

Looks like the dean was worried about me.

"Grimm, are you okay, brother?

"Thank you for coming, Brother Grimm"

"" "Thank you" "

The other kids thanked me at the same time, starting with the two kids I helped out before this.

And what the hell happened...

I asked the Dean about the details.

Hi, it looks like the bad merchant and stupid successor in this city wasn't the only bad merchant in the kidnapping before.

As he said earlier, the man is also known as Komo at the meeting of the Zakona Chamber of Commerce, a leading chamber of commerce in the city.

Looks about the same age as this previous bad merchant in the thirtieth generation.

According to the Dean's story, the man's mansion was next to that of a bad merchant in front of him, and he seemed to be friends with him.

That means... it's mine now. Is it next to the mansion...

I hate that neighbor so much...

I'll never be able to hang out with your neighbor...

His chamber of commerce also seems to have been formerly a splendid chamber of commerce, but it seems to have become a bad chamber of commerce since he inherited the trail.

Not at all......

You're an asshole son... what the hell are you doing...

Apparently his father died early, but it appears that his grandfather had been meeting with the Chamber of Commerce for a long time.

The grandfather said he was a man of virtue and had lent me the premises of this orphanage free of charge for decades.

It seems that now, all of a sudden, that stupid trail has asked for eviction and the dawn of the land.

Besides, they're telling me to pay for the past decades.

The Dean's story is that he only borrowed it from the courtesy of his predecessor's meeting, so he hasn't exchanged any writing.

Maybe you're giving back the interest of that bad merchant who was crushed by this previous kidnapping noise...

Or do you just want to sell off this land...

Those armed men are the gorots that that guy's been hiring for a while now, and they seem to be surrounded helping with evil.

I understand the general situation.

I told him the slimes were on guard and asked the dean to call the slime if anything happened.

I told the kids to feel safe and left the orphanage behind.

We have to protect the orphanage...

Well... I don't know how he does it...

The sun was setting, but I hurried to visit the Merchant Alliance.

To meet the Alliance Commander.

I always call him Guild Manager and I don't remember his name...

It must have been named Mr. Dorkin.

He's a tranquil personage in his forties.

You should be familiar with the city's merchants and chambers of commerce, both in position and age.

I asked frankly about Como, the head of the Zacona Chamber of Commerce.

I told you everything honestly, including what happened earlier.

"Really... that's what..."

Guild chief taught me a lot with a bitter look as he dropped his gaggles and shoulders.

After all, that man seems to have been a childhood friend of the bad merchant of the kidnapper arrested before this.

Besides, he was a good friend of mine.

Neither of us had a decent business and seemed to be eating up assets with poor bare hands.

Both houses were respected as famous houses in the city, but now they've lost their reputation badly and become whispered to the Bad Chamber of Commerce.

From the fact that they both succeeded each other at the same time, it seems that some even rumored that they had assassinated their predecessors.

He also named the director of the Merchant Alliance because he was originally a famous family member.

The Merchant Guild's work, he said, spans a wide range of trouble-prevention and arbitration for businessmen, support for the development of commerce, brokering real estate and large business deals, and tax filing aids.

Sounds like a half-public, half-private organization.

The guild itself is run by the guild chief and the clerks, and the directors don't seem to have much work to do just to attend a general meeting every six months.

Even during that general meeting, the two of them said they had always confused the place with lame statements.

The guild leader's qualifications are not limited, but it seems appropriate that he or she does not run the Chamber of Commerce himself in order to remain neutral.

Former officials, former merchants who replaced and retired, etc., seem to have been historical guild leaders.

They just don't have a clear ban, so there are some examples of active chamber heads doing guild leaders.

If the majority of the directors agree, that seems possible too.

It seems like they once targeted the Alliance Commander's seat, but they couldn't possibly get endorsement from the rest of the board and ended up failing.

Looks like they were the cod guys anyway.

Talk of the guild chief says his current state of business is quite poor.

I wonder if this case was done for two reasons: to return the interest of a friend's kidnapping evil merchant and to redeem money.

The Zacona Chamber of Commerce says it runs a hardware dealership and a weapons protection dealership.

They have a blacksmith workshop and the hardware is manufactured and sold.

They have a special purchasing route for weapons protection equipment, and they make purchases and sales.

However, it seems that some repairs are also carried out in the blacksmith workshop.

He also owns quite a bit of real estate and rents some of it.

They also have orchards in the farm area southwest of the city.

I'm pretty sure he's a bourgeoisie.

The business seems to be leaning, and he seemed to have made a move to dispose of the real estate together in order to create funds.

I guess that orphanage grounds were in there as well.

I guess I was able to get a large selection of luxury looking weapons because I brought inventory for sale.

Don't even lean on the store...

I confiscated it and it was all 'volatile storage', but it was all 'intermediate (middle)' and 'advanced (high)'.

There were two 'advanced' swords, three 'intermediate', all three spears' intermediate 'and all three bows' advanced '.

It's not a magic weapon, but it's definitely high performance.

The magic wand that was flaming was' intermediate '.

This isn't that pompous merchant either, if my people use it, it must be a powerful wand.

That should be a pretty good inventory amount.

What the hell are you doing......

Even as a merchant guild, the black rumors were rising but there was no conclusive evidence, and it seemed that they could not be dealt with.

Conversely, he told me that if I complained that I was about to be killed, I should sue the Chief of the Guard and the deputy because I could possibly be arrested.

Guild chief said there should be a number of people crying in the shadows, and if left alone, more people would cry in the future, so he asked me to deal with them without pity.

Of course I don't have any fine dust such as I intend to pity you...

The guild chief also seemed to have a lot to think about, and at the end of the day he even said that it was better for the world if that house was also torn down.

I'm usually a nice gentleman who feels like an adult, but I was heating up along the way.

The more I know what's going on, the better he looks to succeed or lose.

Let's leave it to the captain of the guard and the deputy.
