I’m an Adventurer! ~Musou Skill is Plane Magic~
Episode 141: The Tale of the Nobles
"Wait a minute, Beat. The Count wants to talk to Beat. Could you give me a minute?
When I came to report to the Adventurers Guild that I might go to Jarkin for a favor, I was told that by Tamara. Speaking of which, the Earl of Dolton was returning from the front lines. I also take my name to the last seat of the nobility. Rather, I had to go say hello. Greetings are the common sense of society.
Oh? Speaking of which, I don't know anything about the Countess, the lord of this city.
"Yeah, that's fine. But, Tamara, what is the count like?
"I see... I wonder if you've changed a bit? I'll know when I see you."
Tamara answered after some thought. I know that.
My family says "a little" means "amazing", and "I know when I meet" is the word used to introduce people who "don't want to meet when I explain". In other words, it is expected to be quite weird. Wow, I don't want to see you.
◇
"Ahhn! You're not a cute boy! Wow, in five years, you won't be able to eat!
Wait in the reception room for a while. As soon as he came in with the door open, the tall and skinny man hugged me and said so with a cheek in his head. No, I'm still underage in five years.
Dark blue eye shadow on the eyes, light pink cheek and red purple rouge on the lips. Her eyelashes are long. Combined with the deep carved face, it gives a pretty bad impression. The Nagoya Gal has long silver hair on it, and the halter neck dress even has bright red ankles with stunning slits running all the way to the thighs. It's very flashy.
No, no, I don't care! The problem is that this person is a man in his early thirties.
Oh, my God! Not a gazimchi homo, but a new half of a magimon!! This is the Count and manager of the Adventurers Guild!?
"Count, Lord Face is frightened. Please calm down."
Ahhn. I've already shown you a shameful part of it. I'm sorry. I can't stand seeing a cute girl. Ufufu "
A flashy man walks away from me with the voice of Imelda, who comes into the room later. It's disgusting how to make a cinnamon and twist your body. I mean, there's something going on! I knew this guy was the Count! Jesus Christ!
"Nice to meet you again. It's" Bunny-Dolton, "where Atashi will rule this dolton."
"No."
"Bunny....."
"No."
"Nh! Imelda's no good!
Imelda and the Count are having an unfamiliar exchange. As always, you're serious at work, Imelda. As long as it's not just masturbation... no, let's not talk about other people's hobbies. There's no harm in it for me.
"It's the first time I've seen you, so please introduce yourself properly."
"Nh, I can't help it anymore. Hard as it is... I am the lord here and manager of the Adventurers Guild, Bernard-Dolton. Greetings."
"Ah, uh, nice to meet you, Beat-Face. Thank you very much."
Only in the second half was Otsuka's loving voice. This is the ground voice. The gap is amazing.
With a little hesitation, I grabbed the right hand that was offered. It's bony, but it's not hard. It's not a workout hand. I mean, my nails are polished and shiny.
"Call me 'Bunny' with affection. Beat."
From the wink, which seems to hear a tingling sound, you can see the hallucination of the heart mark flying. Just shake your head. Are you okay with Okuma's manager and Onabe's deputy manager, this Adventurer Guild?
Although the first encounter was as shocking as the encounter with the Apostle (second impact), the conversation proceeded without any particular problems afterwards.
"I really appreciate you solving a lot of problems while I'm gone."
"No, I just happened to be there, and then I did what I could."
"Ufufu, you're not saying 'lucky'. It seems like you're being modest and you know what you're capable of no longer being a senior adventurer."
In such a case, it would be normal for the former Japanese to be modest, but unfortunately I am not.
In the gaming industry, many companies were results-based, and most of the companies I worked for were unlikely to leak. And results-based is valued if you don't (...) show your strengths around you. That's exactly what you're capable of. Because even if you make yourself appear bigger than you can be, the aftermath won't last, and eventually you'll lose your reputation. In other words, it becomes important to objectively evaluate yourself and appeal to the surroundings. This smells pretty annoying. Sometimes people say they want to spend time developing their skills rather than spending time on things that aren't creative, and the more motivated they are, the sooner they quit. That's results-based.
I enjoyed making games anyway, so it didn't bother me a bit. But if I think that led to such a way of dying, then perhaps results-based is no good. Discretionary labor is flawed.
Anyway, because I have such a previous life, I don't meaninglessly underestimate or overestimate myself. I was lucky to have had many opportunities (?), but I think it was with strength and everyone's support that I was able to solve it. Luck is one of strength, but strength does not depend on luck.
"So, I might go to Jarkin, huh?
"Yes, I won't reveal the details of the request, but it's highly likely."
After consulting with the village chief, Jasmine decided not to go through the Adventurer Guild looking for her sister. I met with the Marquis of Hugo and was convinced that he was alert to the spy hiding in the kingdom. Within the kingdom, the Marquises, the second most powerful to the Royals, are the ones behind us, so perhaps even the Adventurers Guild's top-secret information has been collected. I don't trust the Count in front of me.
If the information leaks and Jasmine's sister is captured by Jarkin, taken hostage or forced to marry Jarkin's nobles, the position of the village chief is extremely dangerous. That's why I decided not to go through the Adventurer Guild for a personal favor.
"Hmm, there's no need for adventurers to take requests individually without going through the guild."
"Yes, I know. So this time, I'm taking on a personal 'request' for no reward."
The Adventurer Alliance is about having a relationship between the client and the adventurer. Arbitrating and resolving issues between the client and the adventurer is also part of the job. If you are asked to do so without the Adventurer Alliance, of course you will not receive support. If you rub it with a nobleman, you can't be on my side.
However, this time, the client is the village chief and will not receive any compensation. I don't even know if Jasmine's sister is safe, so it's a condition that I can bring her back, whether she's alive or dead. It may be a bit frustrating, but that's helpless. Still, the likelihood of rubbing is unlimited, so there's no need to go through the Adventurer Alliance.
"Hah ~, if you know that much, I don't know. I'll go through the procedures for leaving the country."
"Thank you."
It's disgusting to be able to make cinnamon, but people are amazing because they're getting used to it. Much less resistance than at first. And sometimes you can see it as you calm down.
Count Dolton is not a samurai. Because it was slender and there was no sword octopus or tear in the palm, there would be no mistake first. But someone who can fight. Because I'm a wizard. The signs on his body are dark and intense red, not to mention Jarkin's famous firefighter, Lawrence. A fairly powerful wizard of fire. If you are tricked by this appearance, you will have a painful tail.
Perhaps this appearance is also a ploy to distract the opponent. Even the Count is a superior aristocrat. It is not strange to use such a handy pipe. Seeking to be distracted by appearance is a method that I often use. In my case, they'll just let me know they're kids on their own.
"That's it... doesn't it seem like you're making a lot of money outside of your main business?
... I'm coming. So far, we have seen the state of affairs, the main topic from which the nobility was summoned, the nobility's rush. If you don't keep your temper up, you'll get your ass haired. I haven't even grown my ass yet.
"Yeah, well, not really."
"Wow. Isn't Borderset's inn very popular? There's nothing to be afraid of anymore, not just being strong, but also having a talent for business.
"No, I'm still a young man...."
Has Boulder investigated Borderset's "Boy Dog Pavilion", the manager of the Adventurer Guild? The Adventurers Guild has communications magic equipment and branches all over the country. We can investigate the situation in the country through a request, and we also have police and detective aspects in view of our work. It's your job to gather information.
Personal information that should not have been disclosed due to business confidentiality obligations may also be viewed under the authority of the manager. I mean, I'm pretty sure I know everything about my domestic activities. What a troublesome opponent.
"Especially the soap and shampoo that the Commercial Guild owns. That was developed by Beat, wasn't it? It's amazing. I'm letting you use it, but I can't live without it."
"Thank you for your patience. But I have an exclusive contract with the Commercial Guild, so I can't tell you how to make it."
It wasn't me who developed it, but the ancestors of the previous life. But I made up the detailed recipe, so I can't say I'm the developer. Regardless, I'll stick a nail in the soap and shampoo rights.
The soap and shampoo formulations are contracted on the condition that neither I nor the Commercial Guild disclose them to others. If I spread the method to the Black Yacod, the Commercial Alliance will not make any profit, and if the Commercial Alliance sells the method to a third party, the profit from the third party's sale will not be refunded to me. It is a mechanism that benefits both sides by keeping each other secret. As far as commercial guilds are concerned, it is a thorough practice to keep secrets only from slaves.
That's why no one else can get involved in that right. Perhaps the Crown Prince of Jarkin has already developed soap, but it is not yet in circulation in the Kingdom. This contract will be all right for a while.
"Oh, I'm sorry. But isn't it a problem for Beat to make and sell herself?
"Yeah, well. However, it can't be made in that large quantity."
That's a lie. We can produce a larger quantity of higher quality materials than a commercial guild. It's the planar magician. In fact, my special soap and shampoo are stocked in the warehouse of the Puppy Puppy Pavilion.
Nevertheless, I would refrain from making lots of soap and shampoo every day. Therefore, I want the surroundings to think that it can only be produced to the extent that it can be used in a big business. Nothing else, for my freedom. Well, I'm sending a lot of them to the puppy pavilion in the garden, so I don't think they'll find out from there. Will I ship it myself next time? No ash mouse droppings from Kuroneko.
"Really? Then I'll make a request, so can you just give me my share? Please don't."
Ha, if you ask me.
What? I can't see you talking. Did you really just ask for greetings and shampoo deliveries? If that's the case, it's unappealing, but if nothing happens, is that okay? It would be better if there was no trouble. I've already received a serious request from the village chief.
Well then, I guess it's time to get down to business.
Whoa, this is it as soon as I'm a little out of my mind. Because of this, the aristocrat cannot be careless. Well, I don't know what kind of impossible problem you're going to have.
