Helping with Adventurer Party Management

Episode 71: Shaking Hands

A strange man's visit.

I keep my sword in my room.

A dagger of nostalgia feels unreliable.

The big man accompanying the man in red is definitely an escort.

I've never seen him in an Adventurer's Guild.

It's not a rush, it's a clan setting up an office or a guy in a professional position.

Probably a lot more skilled than I am.

Glimpse that far and return the greeting.

"Good morning, have you seen him?

"Yeah, we might have met somewhere."

I have confidence in the memory of people there.

This is definitely the first time I've met this lying, smelly smiling man.

"Now, as you can see, you're eating. I was wondering if you could give me a moment."

Then the man sat silently in the chair directly in front of him.

"That's the designated seat. I was wondering if you'd excuse me."

The man in red laughs niggly.

"Mr. Kenji. Could you come with me, please?"

"If you want to talk, I'll take it here."

"No. It's a good story, so I was wondering if you could come with me"

I said it twice. It's definitely not a good story.

A big escort behind you takes a step.

Do it. If you throw the tea you're drinking and take the previous man hostage with a dagger...

Measure the timing.

"Hey, I'm having tea, too."

At that time, Sarah, coming down the stairs, calls out.

"Um? Customers? Weren't you going out today?

I answer without looking away.

"That's right. You were called by Jilboa of the Sword Tooth Corps. If it's not time to leave, they'll care. It's important."

Answer by emphasizing the soldier's army of sword fangs, for important use,.

If this doesn't work for you, you're off.

The man in red stared at this one jizzily, and as he stood silently as he did so, he left the inn in silence.

"What? Who was that?

"I want to know, too. No, I don't think you want to know."

I answered Sarah as I wiped the sweat off my palm.

My nostalgia dagger was cold.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

Information is leaking.

To whom, where did it leak from? How far is it leaking?

I am often concerned, but I have no measures where pursued.

Return to your own room upstairs early enough and tell Sarah to put her sword belt on her hips.

"Sarah. We're gonna change the inn. We're gonna make it close to the Swordtooth Corps in the 2nd Street Inn."

"Well, I'll give you three times the rent around here."

"That's okay. I'll get you out. Pack your bags."

I pack my bags, too. There is also a good amount of parchment, slab cutting and other materials.

Most of the property is hidden elsewhere.

Sarah, on the other hand, has less luggage. He has a high Engel coefficient.

I guess the increased income is disappearing into food costs.

Just passed a discerning adventurer rushing out nearby, so he pays for the copper coin to help carry the load.

"What, are you two moving to a new home?

Because they asked me.

"Too much luggage, my dad says he hates it, so we change the inn."

and answer appropriately.

Half of it is true. There was a lot of material, and my father was depressed because he gave out boring greed.

When I was looking for an office in the 2nd class neighborhood, I finally had an inn with my eyes on it.

For a while, put your luggage there and base it.

Anyway, the information's leaked.

We just have to move forward with the plan.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

When you get to the office of the Sword Tooth Corps, you meet Jilboa.

"Another 100 pairs, don't you need shoes?

and hang on.

"No. I don't need it right away... I see"

"That's right. Next year and the next year we'll deliver 100 pairs of shoes."

"Not bad. So you mean protect yourself. Have you been threatened?"

Anyway, keep talking.

"Do you know any merchants transporting between cities? I like the big place as much as possible."

"Yes, the one who quit us. Then..."

"That's right. I want you to introduce me to them because I will sell them too. Of course, after the Sword Tooth Corps."

"What's the taste of the Swordtooth Corps?

"Shoes aren't enough?

"Not just shoes."

Damn. That's why I hate smart guys.

"A hundred pairs of shoes, but wouldn't the extra shoes need a seller? It can be premium in another city."

"... I see. By the way, what if I say no?

"I'll take the story to the dawn of the sun horse"

Junma's Dawn is one of the best clans in the city against the Swordtooth Corps.

Jilboa leans on his back making a giddy noise.

"It's not working."

"Oh. I don't want to do that"

Jilboa looks me in the eye and answers.

"I want to be friends with you."

"Me, too."

Gilboa and I shook hands.
