I’m an Adventurer! ~Musou Skill is Plane Magic~

It was passed to the reception room closest to the staircase in the hallway on the second floor, lined with doors on the left and right. It's about 10 tatami mats, not that big. The accessories are an oak-like polished table and a leather two-seated sofa arranged to face it in the middle of the room. There are about 1 m of plants by the window. The windows are open with wooden kannon openings, and the cool wind coming in from the outside is pleasant. There are thick fabric curtains hanging from the window, but they are now wrapped around the window. Other than that, there are no condiments, so let's just say it's a simple configuration. Personally, it's a good impression. I don't like to decorate it for nothing.

When I and the village chief sat on the sofa on the entrance side, the staff member who guided me left the room saying, "Please wait a moment." Probably went to get my boss. It's a classic in such a scene. No, I didn't have that kind of experience in my previous life, but it's not drama, is it?

As a result, the door opened in less than a minute and a slightly fat, cool-headed, grand man came in. It's called a barcode.

"No, I'm sorry I called you. My name is Hassan, and I am the manager of the Commercial Alliance Border Sets branch. I'll see you soon.

Manager! I didn't expect the top to come out of nowhere!

"Dantes is the village chief in Takumi village in the south. This is the villagers' beat.

"It's a beat, thank you.

"Well, it's polite for a boy my age. Greetings."

While having such a conversation, the village chief shook hands smiling in my turn. I have a habit of shaking hands, and it's a secret that I was thinking about something unrelated.

You will look down on me as a child, but I won't let you feel it at all. Is it the manager? Actually, there is no line that I like children.

Shortly afterwards, the receptionist who was looking at us with warm eyes came and left tea for the number of people.

Tea was a tea that had never been drunk before, such as a tea like hojicha. It was a stir-fried bean tea in the village.

"So you wanted to talk to me?

The village chief cut it out straight away.

"Yes, first of all, thank you for selling a lot of magic stones this time.

Did you come out badly first? That means there's something you need to do.

Even in my previous life, the director of a subcontracted production company has often done this kind of cutting out. After that, there will be a request for postponement of the delivery date.

"There was nothing else I called you about, the magic stone you gave me earlier. To be honest, it's an amount we've never dealt with before, and it's going to take some time for an appraisal. That's why I came to ask if the assessment results can be made after noon tomorrow. Yes.

This is as expected. Suddenly I brought that amount in and I don't think the assessment will be over soon. In any case, I was supposed to be in this city for 4-5 days, so this is no problem.

"Hmm, I don't mind... is that all?

The village chief's eyes became a little harsh. Is there anything else?

"Yes, no, the boulder is Dantes. Actually, I have one more favor to ask... about the payment... but I was wondering if you could give me a little respite...

"Huh? What do you mean?

My voice came out unexpectedly. You're asking me to postpone payment? Same as in the old days?

"Can you explain what happened?

The village chief urges first. I can't answer without asking why.

"No, it wasn't that hard. I can't tell you the details, but we just signed a big deal the other day, and I can't afford the money at hand. If you pay Dantes now, it may interfere with the Alliance's activities. Three months… No, I can pay you in a month. Until then, I was wondering if you could give me a respite...

The funds at hand here mean assets that can be moved fluidly. Indeed, in Japanese yen, it is billions of dollars. Oh, and it won't move. But this is a little difficult.

"Hmm, that's troublesome. I am worried about the village when I stay here for a month. Somehow it's the perimeter. It is difficult to come here many times for the same reason.

Of course. The monsters of the Great Forest are unusual in their fertility. I missed it this time, but after a month, it must be overflowing again.

To calm down, the village chief and I bring cold tea to our mouths.

"Yes, it is difficult for me, but it is a large amount of high-quality magic stone. Because even if our assessor gave a rough estimate, 2,000 large gold coins won't go down..."

Boo!?

Nanyatthee!?

The village chief and I both sprayed the tea that we were carrying in our mouths. After all, 2,000 large gold coins are worth about 2 billion yen. Sure, Vincent's quote said about 100 big gold coins, but why doesn't it cost 20 times as much!?

"Well, I thought it was a little cheaper in our estimate, but it's a lot more expensive, right?

While the village chief is upset, he takes confirmation. Even if Mr Vincent's prospects are different, it's unlikely to be twenty times higher.

"Yes, it would not have been this much before 2 months ago. In fact, the circulation of magic stones has dropped dramatically, and the unit price is rising.

Hmm, simple market principle. Rare ones are expensive and common ones are cheap. Extremely natural. Insufficient supply or excessive demand.

"Is there a reason for that?

The village chief was also concerned.

The manager stepped forward and spoke with a low voice.

"In fact, the Kingdom is buying magic stones, and it is rumored that the reason is not war.

The mayor's eyebrows were distressed when he heard that.

"Country... against Nolan?

"Probably because I've been friendly with Ende for over a decade, and I have royal ties.

Where's Nolan? It seems that there are still a lot of things to study. Of course, I'm still seven.

"Well, if that's the case, I'm convinced. Probably mass producing magic equipment. It's only natural that there are no magic stones in the market.

"Yes, that's why I'm so grateful that you sold Magic Stone this time, and even if we did, it would be very difficult for us to make such a request...

"But this is even more troublesome. War makes the world rough. I had to go back to the village as soon as possible.

"You're right. However, even if we were to transport that much money at a later date, we would not be responsible for safety… especially since there have been many reports of banditry recently.

I think we've solved the bandit... no, they're not the only ones. Once the war begins, there may be remnants and fugitives who will become bandits. She's not here now, so she won't be here for a month.

This is amazing.

... Hmm, I see. Can you use it?

"Hey, Mayor, can you use the contract?

"Yeah? You're purposely contracting payments?

"Don't give up on that! You can't trust us!?

Oops, didn't I say it right? It seems to have hurt the manager's cowardice.

"Yeah, well, I was wondering if I could make a contract saying, 'If I bring it to the Commercial Guild in a month's time, I'll exchange it for money.'

"What do you mean?

"It's a contract with a value and a commercial guild signature and date, and if you bring it, 'anybody' can take it.

Bills... no, like bonds?

"Is that in the form of an unspecified payment contract?! Sure, that way you can pay even if you don't have enough money at hand… no, if you have a payment deadline in five years, you can raise money in the near future!?

"We're going shopping on that contract, right? Normally, the value of such contracts is questionable, but not if the payment is from a commercial guild. Except for the temple, which is the most trustworthy organization. Furthermore, if it is a contract, it cannot be reproduced or forged, and the safety is with the origami of the temple.

"Good idea! We need to check with the temple and headquarters to issue a new contract!

Looks like you accepted. The manager and others are about to stand up and run. But I'll have you wait a little longer.

"Well, can you make some kind of money then? It's hard to use too much money when you use it, right? I was wondering if I could use it in combination like a coin. Could you make the contract a little smaller? It's this big. You don't have to be bulky, do you?

That's what I'll show you with my fingers. Just about the size of a note from the previous life. Speaking of which, the banknotes of the previous life were also officially "Bank of Japan Notes". In other words, the issue of a "Commercial Guild Voucher".

…

The village chief and manager are staring at me and stopping. Looks like it used to be a moonbeam cube. Did you do it again?

"... Master Dantes, are all the children in your territory so smart? It's a little scary.

"No, she's special. No, I'd rather say it's different. I'm just surprised, too.

"I'm relieved. I don't know when they're gonna take the manager's seat.

Why not?
