Helping with Adventurer Party Management

Episode 203: Secret meeting

Michelino's story was about waiting about two months for Priest Nicolo to revisit, but it was about a month later that the next call came.

Much earlier than I expected.

May I assume that it has attracted considerable interest on the part of Priest Nicolo?

Recent contacts with the Church have also made collaboration smoother by partnering between the Adventurer's Guild and the Church, so that if you go to the Church or Adventurer's Guild in the 3rd Class neighborhood, you can receive a letter from Priest Nicolo.

The sharing of the report also seems to be going well.

A plain change, but arguably a real example of the Church's improved convenience for adventurers.

The place of meeting with the Nicolo Priest was designated a church in the 2nd Class neighborhood that was used for education.

If we're just going to tell a normal story, we should be summoned to a dormitory co-located in a cathedral in 1st class neighborhood.

Will we talk about any secrets again?

I'm still nervous, even though it's a story I held up from this one.

Waiting in the church at the appointed time, the Nicolo Priest and Michelino Auxiliary came on a fast foot.

So when I saw me and Sarah waiting, the greeting was also spoken out there by Priest Nicolo.

"Um, it's an inspiration to be here first. Michelino, explain."

"Yes. I'm here today to discuss your proposal. It's about that concept..."

Michelino Aide, who was suddenly assigned an explanation, rushed out of the bag he was holding to remove the parchment, and where he began his explanation, the Nicolo priest blocked it.

"Kenji, let's hear about the shoes. So I'd like to have a little more discussion about doing it with a professional organization that manages profits."

"Yes, today, I was thinking about explaining that"

"Mm-hmm. The story of first delivering some of the profits from shoe sales to the church as a reward is a special victory. But why not deliver it directly to the church? Is there any reason?

"As you can guess. Because I think that changing the amount of discount depending on the amount of shoes sold for pioneers is not the right way to manage church revenues."

"Wouldn't that suit you? What's the reason?

"As I imagine, the main income of the Church is the usury of entering from agricultural land and the rent of the transfer agent of land ownership that accompanies the management of the birth register. Recently, it seems that you have lent funds for pioneering projects to aristocrats through large merchants."

"Hmm. Well, it's not very different. And then there's the birthday and the funeral. It is a great gain for the Church in particular to carry out the funeral of the great nobility. They also treat them by magic, but they don't make a lot of money. Catalysts are overpriced anyway. You're not like them, are you?

"Yes, those revenues, if you ask me, are the revenues that church folks earn by working"

"Right. Other than lending money, it's income from labor."

"However, church labor will not be required for every sale of pioneering shoes."

"No, but why would you give up to the Church without our labor?"

Priest Nicolo's eyes glistened delightfully.
