I’m an Adventurer! ~Musou Skill is Plane Magic~
Episode 15 - God Watches
"Well then,
1. The name of the dish shall be "Dante's Grill" and no other names shall be used.
2. In the first year, two large gold coins will be combined with Dantes grilled and ketchup, and from the next year, 5% of the sales will be paid to Dantes Village as an exclusive usage fee. Make sure to pay the minimum of 2 large coins.
3. The method of making Dantes and ketchup is hidden, and no effort is spared.
4. This Agreement shall enter into force immediately and shall continue for three years thereafter. The Agreement shall be automatically renewed every year and terminated with the consent of the Parties.
So is that okay?
"Hmm, that's fine. Things are cooking. It may be less than three years before we know how to make them, and it would be reasonable.
Looks like the deal is wrapped up. Somehow, I had to be there, too. Though they are slaves and children, developers (technically not) have the right and the duty to be present.
I was asked if I could make the name of the dish Dante, but it was okay because it was fine. I can't help thinking about the name barbecue in other worlds. If you name it Dantes Bake, the village name will sell and the immigrants may come.
Ten percent of the royalties earned on this contract will be my income. You'll get a minimum of six gold coins in three years. It is not bad considering that there are more than this.
But I think there are a lot of loopholes for this contract, okay?
"Hey, what happens if you break that promise?
"Hmm? Oh, yeah. Beat didn't know about" contract magic ", did he?
"Contract magic?
"Ah, the magic of vowing to the God of Law and Commerce. If you break this magical vow, you will suffer as much pain as you die. He's a god punisher.
"God!? God!?"
"That's right. You can't see or talk, but God is always with us. There's no doubt about it.
This is a surprise. I was surprised that there was magic, but was there a god? It's not strange to have a god because it's magical, but I didn't expect it because I've never heard of it in my life before. But if you ask me, there are verses that come to mind.
Calendar, for example. Too much can be done to say that a year is 360 days and the rotation cycle of the moon is exactly 30 days.
The same is true of languages. Basically in Japanese, names and place names are Western-style katakana. The characters were also actually Japanese. Hiragana and Katakana have kanji characters. Kanji is fine. Because Katakana and Hiragana are characters based on Kanji. The problem is that Kanji is called "Kanji". Yes, it is the "letter of the Han kingdom". Such a country has never existed anywhere in history.
There are answers that can easily solve these questions without any shortage.
"That's how the world was created."
To whom? 'God', of course.
"However, the high priests of the Grand Temple can listen to the voice of God in the form of a message.
Hmm, isn't that noninterference? Normally, I leave it alone, but if there is a problem, I will give a warning. It's like MMORPG's GM, no, management program. Is it contract magic to lend authority to that manager?
"Is God the only God of law and commerce? Is there a lot?"
"Well, you've noticed. Quite a lot. Six pillars, even the one that was the main one. I'll tell you soon.
Hmm. So even if there's a religion, it's not monotheistic. Monotheism often persecutes others. In the name of God. Well, as an administrator, I won't tolerate such horrible behavior. I'm a little relieved.
Mr. Vincent took a piece of paper out of a bag that he lowered on his shoulder. It is not parchment. Because the colour is white, the leaves of the paper tree must have been resolved (loosened) and reused.
"This is a contract from the Temple used for contract magic. Since the magic has already been applied, the contract can be completed by writing the contract details and name on this paper and pressing blood pressure.
"Oh, Vincent doesn't use magic.
"Haha, if you can use magic, I will serve either the lord or the kingdom, not the merchant.
"Hmm, I've only met two Wizards of the Adventurer. Everything else belonged to the leader.
Hmm, is the Wizard surrounded by a country or a lord? It seems to be a small number, and there are a lot of aristocrats in the first place. Looks like it's hard to get along with the elite. A few freaky nobles who hated it became adventurers and so on. I don't want to go to war or sell aphrodisiacs, and above all, I don't want to serve the palace because I don't seem to have freedom. I guess it's best to aim for an adventurer. It's a fantasy!
After that, the contract was concluded without delay. The moment the two finally pressed blood pressure, the contract glowed pale and split into two pieces. I heard an unexpected voice, but it must have been magic for the first time. I will keep two separate contracts. They say they can't tamper with it with magical powers.
"Indeed. Thank you again for any good business stories.
"Thank you again. Nevertheless, it depends on the beat. What do you got?
No, don't rely on children!
I tried to say that, but I actually have a story. Is it a classic mayonnaise or pudding that is reincarnated from other worlds? I just don't have any eggs or milk if I want to make them. There are no chickens or livestock in this village, so there is no means of obtaining them. There are bird-based monster eggs in the woods, but the problem is how to get them.
In the first place, I'm not that good at cooking. Even ketchup and barbecue sauce, they knew the ingredients occasionally.
I was allergic to peanuts in my previous life. That's why I used to check ingredients when buying food. If I eat it without noticing it, my face and limbs become red and swollen, causing serious problems.
When I started living alone as a member of society, I avoided eating out without the ingredients labeled, and there were only convenience store lunches and retorts, but I was always tired of the same flavour.
These include ketchup and mayonnaise sauces. The usual retort is another dish with this one. It's a refrigerator staple. Only sauces and milk were in the refrigerator of the previous life. I bought so much that I remembered nature and the name of the ingredient.
"Hmm, I don't know. If you think of anything, I'll tell the village chief.
If you make something that you can't make, it's going to be a lot of problems, so I have to deceive you now. Patience till this village grows up to be able to raise chickens and cattle. It's not refreshing like this, but I can't help it.

He was a little tired because he was doing a lot of work this day. After dinner, I fell asleep without resisting the sleeping demon. I didn't even go hunting at night.
I didn't know that day was going to be the last day of my quiet daily life.
