Helping with Adventurer Party Management

Episode 278: Request for Slime

Slime.

It is a monster with an indeterminate body and living in a dark place such as a cave.

It doesn't get that big, and when you treat the nucleus you can take from your body with a special liquid, it becomes the core part of the shock-absorbing parts (parts) of the shoe you are manufacturing in the company (of which).

Most of all, I don't think Priest Serio is familiar with the technical information on the shoes around there, so I guess there are actually a lot of requests from the city residents.

"When it comes to slime..."

And when I asked him back because I was having trouble reacting,

"Was it unexpected?

and Priest Serio explained to me with a childlike smile that the prank worked.

"This city has a side ditch of sewage, right? Usually, the slimes that live there are difficult creatures because they eat rats, cockroaches and other small animals and excrement, but sometimes, there are too many of them to clog the side ditches.

3rd class neighborhoods don't have specialist cleaners unlike 1st and 2nd class neighborhoods, and side ditches are thinner than the number of residents, so they're prone to clogging.

That will overflow the sewage, make the corner of the city smell like sewage, and I'm worried about the disease. So let's get rid of the slime with the will of the city, but it's a weak monster there. If you take a desperate counter-attack, you often get unexpected injuries from the city's residents who are unfamiliar with the havoc. "

"I see..."

And I snorted admirably.

In addition to the visual differences in the way cobblestones were maintained, which started to enter and exit the second-class neighborhood in this city, when walking down the street, it was impressive that there was no smell of sewage.

I was wondering if the difference was that the sewer pipe was aging and overflowing because it was downtown, but I didn't realize that there were times when the slime was clogged.

"I've been an adventurer in this city for a few years, too, but you never got those requests. Yeah, did Sarah know?

and looking back at Sarah to make sure

"Me too, because I had a lot of requests outside the city that my bow would let live..."

and the answer came back.

Priest Serio nodded that there was no reason not to know, and explained to me how he found out.

"In fact, one of the city's residents was injured and transported to church. I was injured to an extent that I didn't even have to do a sorcery treatment, but I asked why because the scar had characteristics. So I found out what happened."

"So you recommended asking the adventurer?

"Right. While I was dealing with adventurers in this church, I knew a few of them face-to-face, and I've also found that they're not as abusive as they're said to be. The city people were worried about costs, but I did remember the adventurers talking about things like the core of the slime turning into change. Surprisingly, we talked about whether the request would be cheaper. Oh, Mr. Kenji, what's wrong?

"Yes, no, it's nothing. That's an interesting story."

I answered with diligent control so that my expression did not become unnatural.

It was definitely our company that made that request.

Recently, he has purchased a large quantity of slime nuclei in order to produce a large quantity of shoes.

Because in this world, it is cheaper and easier to obtain standardized parts (parts) in large quantities than to standardize industrial products by sorting out monster nuclei.

I place bulk orders with the Adventurer Guild, buy what was in the standard, sell or dispose of what doesn't fit, and save some for the prototype.

The slime itself, no matter how massive it is eliminated, has not caused any problems so far because it has grown at some point.

However, as a result of a large number of purchases, the market price of the purchase unit is increasing subtly.

That's getting to the point where if you're a runaway adventurer, you're making a dime, generating as much volume of work for city dwellers as you can ask to get rid of the slime. I see such an overall picture.

Unexpectedly, the expansion of the shoe business was generating demands on the runaway adventurer.

I can't somehow wipe away the match-pumping impression, but I could confirm the flow and the fact that the church mediates the request of the city's inhabitants and asks them to go to the Adventurers Guild.

And then, what do we need to scale this up?

Can it be implemented in the form of placing a request menu for adventurers in the church, which I initially imagined?

I began to consider various cases in my brain.
