I’m an Adventurer! ~Musou Skill is Plane Magic~
Episode 26: You're not a celebrity, you're a super celebrity.
The Commercial Guild was a slightly three-storey building near the square on its way from the west gate to the city's central square. Like other shops and private houses, it looks like a sturdy building made of wood and stone. The walls facing the street have large windows open, but not glass doors. If you don't see it in the city, maybe there's no glass.
A large lobby opens through a thick wooden door with a number of round tables on the right. Is it an opportunity for a group of middle-aged men to have a discussion? There is a staircase that goes up to the second floor in the back. There are three counters in front, where one man and two women sit. Probably a staff member. It seems that there is no point of contact service now, and I am doing some sort of administrative work. On the left side, there are two front and rear wooden benches for about four people. It will be used for waiting. Behind it is a wall with a simple one-sided door. Looks like a toilet.
I'll go to the desk about the back of the village chief.
A bag of axes and magic stones is held in the hand of the village chief. My travel luggage is in the napsack on my back, and I also carry it in the napsack.
"I'd like to ask you to redeem the Magic Stone.
The village chief cut it out in front of a male employee in the back left, with a veteran vibe around the age of 40. The other two women are a little over 20 years old, so this man may be in charge of the contact.
"Yes, I understand. This way, please.
I guess that's a common request. I got a shallow dish about 20 cm in diameter from under the counter. You mean get me out of here. But hey...
"I'm sorry, it's quite a lot. I'd like to ask you before the money is exchanged, how much more magic stones are going to cost you?
"Don't worry. Magic Stones are always in short supply, and even if they are sold in small quantities, the value will not go down.
The staff will return it to you to see someone in a little trouble.
The Commercial Alliance only buys Magic Stones with a certain size. Buying small magic stones is the Adventurer Guild. Large magic stones can be taken from monsters of strength proportional to their size, but strong monsters are not hunted frequently, and large magic stones are absolutely small in amount. No matter how many commercial guilds it is, it is usually a dozen units deal, no matter how many. The deal was also with the city's guilds and lords near the demon. At most a dozen of them, such as those who bring magic stones individually, are in Mt. Seki.
I wonder if that's the result of this reaction. The woman next door looked at the apparently pathetic person and laughed at her. I know how you feel, but don't show it to the staff.
"Well, I'm relieved to hear that. I'll take this.
A grinning village chief raises a bag that was hanging in one hand to the counter. It is a 1x1m bag that is inflated into bread. As soon as I put it on the counter, I heard a heavy noise called dong and a light sound called pachin. Looks like the dish on the counter cracked. Well, it can't be helped. I told you to put it there.
The village chief opens the bag in front of the male employee who stood up in surprise. Naturally, the magic stones are jammed.
"Nh, this is it!?
"How long does it take to assess? Whoa, Beat, have your Magic Stones evaluated. You've got about 30, haven't you?
"Yeah, okay. Well, this too, please.
I take out the sack of magic stones from my napsack. I may have climbed on the plate just now. But the plate is crushed under the bag, so I put it next to the bag.
The male staff and the female staff next door were not surprised and their eyes were nailed to a large number of magic stones.
… Excuse me! I will assess it now, so please wait there. I'll call you when I'm done. May I ask your name?
The reactivated male staff member asks with a clearly more polite response than before. It's cash. But we need to take care of our big customers.
"Oh, it's Dantes. Then I asked.
"Mr. Dantes, I understand. So, wait a while... Dantes? No, no way!
When the village chief named him, the male staff seemed to have noticed something. Is there another "whirlwind" coming out here!? Then the village chief left the counter and quickly lowered his hips to the bench. Did it bother you to deal with the boulder? However, it may be difficult to live in the city with such high visibility. Maybe the village chief was pulling into the border because he wanted to avoid this kind of trouble. If so, I feel a little sorry for pulling you out into the city because of me this time.
"Mayor, I'm sorry.
"Hmm? What? Something wrong?
"It was my fault that I came out of town...
"Oh, don't worry about that. Rather, I would like to thank you.... I've been thinking a lot about what to do to further develop the village, but I don't have a good idea. The best thing was to increase the number of people, but the means... It was easiest to buy a slave, but the question is what to do with it. In order to make and sell a lot of potatoes, we need to increase the number of fields to make more potatoes, but we need manpower to do this, and it feels like the original is…. Even hunting monsters was dangerous in our arms. That's when I realized you were a wizard, gained tons of magic stones, and strengthened your body. With this extraordinary income, we can buy new slaves, and if more people can use physical enhancements, we can stably hunt monsters. Thank you for everything, but there's nothing to be apologized for.
Apparently, it was too much of a distraction. Half of what I say is adult consideration.
"... honestly, it's a shame to let you go. But I can't handle you with my genius. It will be difficult for the royal magician to stop the herd without damage. They don't destroy the forest, they hunt dozens of monsters in the forest. I'm convinced you're the son of a god of war, aren't I?
Mayor, you overestimate me a little. I'm not such a big deal. It's just a bit of a mess in my head. No, you're already 30 years old when you pair it with your previous life, I'm... a little depressed.
"... I'm a child of my father and mother.
"... fu, fuhaha! Yes, you are the Beat, son of Glenn and Saffron, born in our village! Fuhaha!
It seems to have entered the village chief's pocket. The village chief suddenly laughed and the people in the building looked at something. I quickly lost interest and went back to my errands.
"Um, Mr. Dantes? I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation, but could you please come to the reception room upstairs?
It was the male employee who spoke to us earlier.
