Hachinan tte, Sore wa Nai Deshou! (WN)

"Dude! It's been a long time in a big city!"

On the hilltop overlooking Breichburg, the largest commercial city in the south, governed by the Breichrader Frontier, I was impressed by the big city I saw for the first time in a long time.

I heard that the population is about 200,000.

It wasn't a big deal in the previous Heisei city, but I have been living in a cold village with hundreds of people for more than a year, so it looks like a huge city to me.

Furthermore, it took me a week to get here.

There is a mountain path in the mountains lying between the Bau Meister and the Knights, as the merchant brings cargo once every few months.

However, they seem to take about a month to and fro even after passing through.

I guess "I'll come to business before good and good special products", but this seems to be a half-public service with almost no profit.

Bleichrader, one of the largest nobles in the south and coordinating the nobles in the southern region, regularly goes to the red for the Baumeister family and their territories. It seems.

I heard this story from Erich before, but the Baumeister family suffered considerable human and financial damage five years ago due to unreasonable troop dispatch.

In addition, this recruitment was what Bleichrader had been seeking.

Although his father's nasal lust was likely to have been considerable, it seemed that there was a situation in which a close child could not easily refuse the request of a close parent, and after this dispatch, he had come only twice a year until now. The missing corps seemed to come three times a year, which seemed to be a form of apology or criticism.

Errich told me everything about the situation.

There are roads in the mountains for some reason.

I strengthen my physical function and follow the path while detecting the surroundings.

It seems that monsters appear in this mountain range.

It is treated as a monster area, but for some reason it rarely appears along the mountain path.

However, it is not zero, and ordinary bears and wolves often appear, so watch out was essential.

And why I don't use flying magic.

It is to prevent my family and territorial people who looked at the mountain from seeing me flying in flight.

Also, there was a reason for exercise to strengthen physical strength.

Proceed as long as you proceed in one day, then return to your home by instantaneous movement, and on the next day, instantly return to the point advanced by yesterday and start moving.

We took extra time because we did such a troublesome thing.

However, thanks to magic, he was able to cross the mountain in about half the time of the trading company.

"What's wrong?"

"Shopping in town with you"

After being moved, I move to the entrance to Breichburg.

Nearby is the Bleichburg Forest, a monster area where adventurers nestle, so this Bleichburg is surrounded by barriers about three meters high.

Nevertheless, there has never been a case in which a demon has invaded outside of its own territory, and it is probably for humans.

The Helmut Kingdom has been around for a long time, but it is not without its consequences.

Small skirmishes between aristocrats due to territory or water rights always occur every few years.

Especially, nobles whose territories are in contact often have this kind of conflict.

Actually, there are noble families in the vicinity of Breichrader Marsh.

By the way, there are no such nobles in the Baumeister family who compete for such interests.

Because they are physically isolated by the mountains.

"Shaved, do you have an ID?"

"No. Do you want to make a membership card at a commercial guild?"

"I see. Can I pay one entry tax copper coin?"

"It's okay"

I actually have an ID card, but it would be a big problem if the eight-year-old Baumeister, the eighth son, appeared in Breichburg.

So I was going into the city as a child in a nearby rural village.

Although almost all residents living in the city have an ID card, few people have it in rural areas because there is no place to issue it.

Because I had to go to Bleichburg to get it issued.

If so, what do the rednecks want to enter the city for shopping?

The answer was to join a guild.

Actually, the adventurer's guild is the most suitable, but there are rules that can only be entered if you are 15 years old.

Because it is a world without a family register, it can be a bit of a misconception of age, but it would be useless if I now call myself 15 years old.

Then the rest will be a craftsman guild or a merchant guild.

In the world of craftsmen and merchants, there are many children of my age who are serving as children.

In addition, in many cases, they went to Breichburg at the command of their master or master, making it relatively easy to create an ID.

"I see. Will you sell that rabbit?"

The gatekeeper confirms that I have several rabbit skins hanging on my hips.

This was obtained in the middle of a mountain path.

"Yes, I heard that you need a commercial guild membership card to sell something."

Accurately, you needed an ID.

The townspeople have their IDs from the beginning, and if they belong to various guilds, their membership cards will act for them.

When buying or selling goods, there was an obligation to present it for security purposes.

Although it was surprisingly rigorous, in fact, there seems to be a shop in the back town that sells and sells without an ID card, and in the first place there was a trap that the guild's membership card itself could be made by outsiders as much as possible.

Thanks to that, I can easily make a membership card and be a million years old.

I pay a single entry tax copper coin to the gatekeeper and then step into Breichburg.

It seems that you have to pay this entry tax when you enter the city.

It's not that much because it's one copper coin.

By the way, it was the monetary system of this world, which is all unified on the lingua continent.

The currency design was different between the Helmut Kingdom and the Urquhart Holy Empire, but the amount of gold, silver, copper, etc. used by the treaty was unified, so it did not matter which one was used separately .

The rest was the type and value of money, but the unit of money is cents.

However, the opportunity to come into contact with the monetary economy is only to buy and sell from a trading company that comes once every few months, and it is a word that is rarely heard in our Knights of Baumeister, which usually ends up bartering. Was.

One copper coin for one cent, ten copper coins for one copper sheet, ten cents, ten copper sheets for one silver coin, one hundred cents, ten silver coins for one silver sheet, one thousand cents, and ten silver sheets for one gold coin Ten thousand coins, ten gold coins cost one hundred thousand cents, one gold plate one hundred thousand cents, one platinum coin one million cents, and ten platinum coins one platinum plate ten million cents.

You can buy one apple with one copper coin, and the same frequent entry tax is paid, so if you convert it to Japanese yen with one cent, it will be about 100 yen.

"Welcome to the commercial guild. Issuing a membership card. Please provide the necessary information in this document."

When you enter a large building with a commercial guild taught by your gatekeeper's older brother, you are crowded with people who have visited for various purposes.

Speaking to the younger sister who sits at the window where the membership card issuance window, she asks me to write the papers in a manner that is polite but as per the manual.

However, this document was written only about name, hometown and age.

Write the age as usual, the address is the name of the cold village a little away from here, the name is Wendelin only, and the name of a commoner who does not have a surname is assumed.

I was only making false statements, but this kind of false seems not to be a problem.

Some of them seem calm and even fake.

"Issuing a membership card for the first time is free. However, reissuance costs one silver coin as a reissue fee, so be careful not to lose it. Also, when selling goods at the bazaar, be resident The person in charge will be assigned a position and pay 10% of the sales when the goods are sold.

I quit my sister at the office desk and started moving to the place where the bazaar is being held.

As described by the receptionist's sister, when he entered a narrow alley leading to the city's main street, hundreds of young and young men and women spread goza at the side of the street and sold various items.

Some of the kids were just as old as me, and my sister at the reception wouldn't have been particularly surprised when I asked for a commercial guild membership card.

"Should you help your dad?"

When I talk to a middle-aged guildman who manages the bazaar, he gently calls out, as if he thought he was a filial son who came to sell his prey hunted.

"I set a trap myself and caught it."

I didn't need to disclose the fact that magic could be used, so I decided to set up a trap near the village where I live and caught a rabbit.

If you look closely, you can see that there are other children who are trapping rabbits and selling them.

"Hey, it's small, but it's good. It's good to sell it in the open space there. Rabbit fur and meat. Because you're always short, you can sell it quickly. Is it about five copper plates with one fur? "

It seems to be about 5,000 yen in Japanese yen.

Certainly, on the way to the designated place, I saw people selling fur and meat of other hunted rabbits, but the price tags were all about 5 copper plates to 5 copper coins.

That is, it is about 450-500 yen.

I don't want to spend a lot of time on raising the profit margin, so I usually set five copper plates at the selling price and line up four rabbits on the goza I brought.

Then, there was a man who called out immediately.

It looked like a merchant, a man around 40 years old.

"Is your father helping you?"

"No, I set a trap myself and caught it."

"Well, he's good at his youth. And he has fresh meat and tans his fur."

Blood removal, dismantling, and leather tanning.

Since it can be easily performed by magic, it is inferior to professional high-end products, but it was natural because it can be performed with decent quality.

At first, the trouble of learning the magic and the resistance to dismantling the prey were more challenging at first.

In the past life, we have only bought meat packed in supermarkets.

Especially troublesome was the process of removing blood and internal organs.

Let's just say that it is not something that a former modern man can easily get used to.

"I'm gonna get it all. I'd be glad to come back again."

"Thank you"

Rabbits are sold for two silver coins in total, and 10% of the sales of the copper plates are given to the guild staff.

"What do you do after this?"

"My father asked me to buy rice."

"Is the market price ten kilograms and about five copper plates? It's quite different from the production area and varieties."

I thanked the guild staff, bought a 10 kilogram copper plate of rice at a nearby rice shop, and then returned to my house in an instant.

Of course, to cook the rice we bought early.
