A large square in the heart of the Wang capital.
A three-story building, built to the east of it. That is the Merchant Alliance.
The first and second floors are made of stone, while the third floor is made of wood. It is in the form of a horizontal with a wide mouth.
And the roof is made of slated pavilions.
Instead of being intimidating or luxurious, there was a practical and intimate atmosphere.
"Please buy potion"
At the counter on the ground floor, I take the potion out of my bag and line it up in front of the strong old man.
more than twenty of them.
"Now, let me confirm"
It's an interaction that even feels like routine work.
Still, the strong old man, he doesn't get out of the test. That's right, he's one of the future guild leader candidates.
"Oh, Tauro, you're here."
Waiting, from the back, there was a voice from the guild leader.
From between the desks, I can see the small body of the guild length.
"If you have time, why don't you stop by on your way home"
The only thing I have planned for today is a bowl of parents and children, so I have plenty of room.
As soon as the delivery of the potion was complete, he replied that he would ask immediately.
"Excuse me."
After all the deposit processing, I knock and enter the Guild Leader's Office on the third floor.
"Sorry, I'm busy"
Rarely today, there is no one but the Alliance Commander.
The chair is recommended and he sits on his way to the reception set.
Before the tea he had put in his hand, the guild leader began to talk about it in a changed way.
"The Imperial Army kept a line on the other side of the Awok. That's what started the retreat."
movement on the part of the Empire, they said they got information about it.
"It doesn't seem to be temporary. Because they're headed for the Empire's own country, not Landburn."
The Imperial Army has been sniped while on its own, losing multiple A-level knights. Besides, instead of fighting back, we haven't even captured what the enemy looks like.
I can't fight any more, I guess that's what you decided. My prospects seem to have succeeded.
The Alliance Commander keeps his word as he stares quietly at me snorting.
"I don't know the details. But there are things I know. So let me just say this."
The words made me feel like I was caught in the heart.
Is it about the sniping by the old lady Old Lady?
(Maybe they're paying you?
Though I trust you, tension and anxiety stain my mind.
"... thank you. I'm glad you're in this country, Tauro."
When the guild leader smiles calmly, he reaches out his right hand. I guess you're looking for a handshake.
The expression and the feeling that was hardening go away.
"Well, what? It would be an honor to hear you say that."
I take that hand and shake it back with a little light.
The guild chief didn't say anything more about the matter.
"So today the nobility hall opened again."
Crushed aristocracy. It is about a whorehouse whose servants are in distress and temporarily open.
I remember the other day's made-up.
Not so great, but seasonal stuff that I can only taste right now. Probably open for the last month.
"Are you going?
It's the invitation I expected.
Parent-child bowls don't run away. You can do it next time.
"Pleasure."
We close our eyes and erupt gently.
I sincerely think you've been blessed with a good boss.
"Okay, so we're on our way."
Little old goblin-like guild leader jumping right off the chair.
It is characterized by a light waist.
"But you have quite a few houses to be torn down. Is that what you mean by aristocracy?
"No, this time it's special. It doesn't happen that often."
So the guild leader looks up at me and speaks proudly.
"Today's is amazing. What a nobleman to bring to the royal family. Not the Duke."
"... what will destroy the Duke's house?"
Instead of being a great nobleman, he is infinitely closer to the royal family.
It's not the same as losing a baron or a Viscount. The power map of the aristocratic world should change dramatically.
"There's a lot going on, a lot going on."
With a light foothold that doesn't suit the year, I go down the stairs.
I don't seem to intend to go into detail. So I'll tell you something else.
"By the way, is the guild leader still after the maid today? Sometimes young kids do."
The guild leader looked up at this one chillily and shook his head gently left and right.
"I didn't know it was good, Tauro, but you haven't either. It's good since the gray hair got mixed up over there."
"... is that what it is"
Go outside the Merchant Guild with that conversation.
Then we caught the golem carriage in the square, and we headed to the aristocratic city.
After the guild chief and Tauro took him and went to the Duke's house to buy a woman.
The strong old man continued to work on the ground floor of the Merchant Guild.
(jealous)
I'd like to play in the noble mansion for once.
Kneel and serve a fully-educated maid. I'm sure that would be a great experience.
But I don't want you to take me with you.
Only the chosen ones can go to the makeshift whorehouse that opens in the noble mansion.
In the Merchant Guild, you need to be accompanied by a guild leader or a deputy guild leader.
If you want to go, you have to accomplish enough to get invitations from them.
(All right, good luck with another breath)
Contains a cold coffee in your mouth and runs a pen.
There, a young female employee spoke up.
"Chief, may I have a word?
The strong old man nods and encourages him to continue.
"Please tell me the potion the chief is handling, the location of that workshop"
"Why?
The strong old man frowns.
It is definitely about Tauro. He is a very important figure for the Merchant Alliance, both as a pharmacist and as a pilot.
I also owe a great deal to you personally, such as about the Sacred Capital.
If not for so many reasons, or for so many people, it was not something that could be taught.
"Yes, the merchant over there wants to know more."
If you look at the counter, a young merchant stood. It is a rush to see.
"No."
I don't even have to think about it.
"Oh, no! I think I'm in trouble."
The strong old man sighs.
This young female employee is the daughter of her boss. Surely now, he should have been the head of a nearby branch.
(I don't know what it is to be blown into bad language at home, and I can't help it)
Take a seat and head to the counter.
Running merchant that he's in trouble. I decided to listen to that story.
Something troubling you.
He is a seemingly soft young man who feels blurred.
"Yes, there's one thing wrong with business right now."
"It is. By the way, I wanted to know about the potion workshop."
"Yes! Yes, it is."
The young man makes his face shine.
"The potion I'm dealing with here. Lots of high ranking stuff, and they keep coming out. This is not the first time."
To the words, the chief nods contentedly.
That's not true, for example, where we always handle high-ranking potions. It's one of the brags here.
"So I was hoping you could tell me about the workshop that's delivering that potion."
"You know, what are you going to do?
The young man has a slightly surprising look. And don't you see? and mouth, and continue the words.
"Of course, they'll sell it."
The old man on the strong side looks at his face.
I don't know what this young man is thinking anymore.
Shut up and the young man continues his words in a slightly excited manner.
"Buy higher than this one, and if you put a lower price on it, it will definitely sell"
"Are you okay?"
My head desperately suppresses my desire to add.
The youth regarded it as worded and breasted with great pride.
"It's okay. Because I do business on my own, I need to spend less. Slightly smaller margins are fine."
The strong old man shakes his head to the left and right.
I felt the limit to continue the conversation any longer.
"I'm sorry, I can't tell you."
Then the youth was first surprised and then had a meaningful laugh.
"That's the guild of merchants. It's not just information."
Okay, I'll give you the Merchant Guild card while I say.
"So, how much do you want to sell me?"
The strong old man, who is getting a headache, holds his temples and squeezes out his voice.
I can't sell it.
The young man is surprised, then leans his neck.
"But this is a merchant's guild, right?
"Thank you very much."
"Supporting merchants is our job, isn't it?
"Such operations are also partially included"
"I'm a merchant, right?
Look, I say, stick a lot of guild cards out in front of an old man on the strong side. F-rank.
The way it is, I'm a little proud.
"What do you say? Do you understand?
"What?
"It's my duty to teach you."
The shoulders of the strong old man tremble.
It was really the limit. If we continue this conversation any longer, I could yell at myself on this occasion.
Desperately suppresses himself and creates a pulled smile.
I can't tell you.
It was best to say so.
The young man shrugs his shoulders in dissatisfaction. The old man on the strong side is on the verge of explosion, and so on.
"Okay. I won't bother you anymore. Thank you."
I'm uncomfortable with horny things.
But business, you have to put up with this.
Return to your seat and exhale loudly.
(Hmm?)
Then in front of the shared cabinet, I saw the figure crouching and rattling.
It is an earlier young female employee.
Because it was magically locked by importance, she could only partially open it.
"What are you doing"
"I'm looking into business partner information."
"For what?
Bikili, and the strong old man did hear the blood vessels swelling up in his temples.
"The chief won't tell me, so I'm looking into it for you."
inflate cheeks and say in a tone that makes them unfriendly.
The chief finally exploded.
Yelling at her, she began to cry heavily on her knees, her gaze concentrated from around her.
But the mighty old man did not stop, but preached with him.
Then for days, she didn't show up at work.
A week later, she accompanied her father and showed herself to the Merchant Guild. By the way, his father is the head of the Eastern Branch of the Merchant Guild
"Sorry for the inconvenience"
This is the father's word.
He's got something like a cracker mixed with river shrimp in his hand, bowing his head around.
Meanwhile, she lowers her hips without fear on the couch in front of the opposing deputy guild length.
"A job resented by someone like a merchant is not for me after all"
That is the first voice.
The deputy guild leader answers calmly as he mocks his prized white beard.
The figure was like Santa Claus.
"Business is never like buying grudges."
"Really, I don't think so"
I look at Santa with a kicking eye.
"If you got it cheap, why don't you sell it for me cheap. We're all in trouble for missing something, aren't we? Why are you raising the value?
Emotions are high, she screams.
"So is the money thing! I'm in trouble, I'm telling you I'll definitely give it back, so why don't I lend it to you! How come you don't lend it to people who are really in need when you're happy to lend it to rich people?
Next door, the father is getting smaller.
"I want a useful job in the world, so let me quit"
I don't see how that goes.
The deputy guild chief was not comforted and accepted.
Santa sighs as she looks at her parents and children walking away.
"The Merchant Guild is of no use to the world, that's what you've been assured"
In that word, the strong old man standing next to him gives a bitter look.
At the end of his gaze, his father looked back again and again, bowing his head firmly. One daughter doesn't give a shit.
"The Branch Manager is a person who works honestly. What the hell did you grow up to see about your father?"
"Well."
To the question of the strong old man, that's all Santa had to give back.
A few days later, the information comes in.
Anything. She got a job as a receptionist in the Adventurers Guild.
I hear that, and the strong old man thinks.
(Adventurer Guild jobs are closer to death than Merchant Guilds. at that rate, hopefully annoying my client or adventurer)
So I shake my head aloud and rethink.
From here on out, I'm not worried about you. It's about her and the Adventurer Alliance.
(Perhaps it would be suitable and accomplish as a reception assignment)
The possibility is not zero.
Later, however, the result appeared to be a number.
Those who have previously asked the Adventurer Alliance to procure raw materials and materials. They therefore began to place orders with the Merchant Guild.
An old man on the strong side doesn't ask why.
Ears are also blocked on the topic of the unreturned rate of rushing adventurers.
(You've been busy. If anyone is good, I'd like to hire them)
I just think so.
And even today, the Merchant Alliance flourished.
