"For once, I know the market for corn. What's the rationale for that price?

Though he was a shopkeeper with a slight glimmer in Pauline's emotional voice, who became expressionless, he thought she was just a little girl and quickly returned to strength.

"There is no original form of the corn and it is too finely crushed, so it falls in value. Besides, it's just spicy and has absolutely no clutter or flavor as a corn. As for the price of crude products below 3rd class, it's still better to give it a high value.

Because you asked me to do it, I thought I'd put a little iron on it. Ha ha!

Pauline looks at the deliberately laughing shopkeeper with a cold eye.

"What happens to the fact that it has a strong spicy taste and requires a small amount of use?

"Ah? Is that among the errors? It's just a little spicy."

"How much does it cost to buy?

"You guys in the rush couldn't have had so much money for the purchase. Did you steal it somewhere, or did you buy it for a cheap price, anyway? You didn't say shit, just give it to me. And tell me where to get it."

"Miles, retrieve!

"Yes!"

"Huh?"

Lena ordered Miles to collect it, and Miles immediately stored a wooden barrel with spices on it.

And in a wooden barrel that disappeared in an instant, the shopkeeper stripping his eyes.

"So, no results,"

The shopkeeper hastily withdrew to the 'Red Pledge' to say so and to try to pull it off.

"Behold! Wait, we asked for that..."

"... so we can't get a price fold and we can't negotiate, right? Without penalty to each other, the requisition agreement is terminated.

It was originally a contract like that, and the contract was submitted to the guild. "

"Ugh..."

Pauline disputed and panicked shopkeeper.

"Yes, no, what I have on hand now is ten gold coins, that is! I never thought I'd get so much.

You can't always keep such a lot of money in the store. If I did that, I'd be attacked by bandits. I have to bring it down in a commercial guild, and it's gonna take a little while!

So, come back in the evening. I'll have it ready by then!

frigid.

With that in mind, The Red Vow accepted it and pulled it off.

"... what do you think?

"Thin of hope, right? In the end, I avoided saying clearly how much I would pay, and you'd be looking at this one sweetly, so you'd try to buy it, beat it up, and ask me the way to get it anyway."

Pauline answers the question of miles with a shoulder up.

"I thought you were an artisanal cook, depending on the taste...

If I didn't have to lick your attitude or force you to find out where you got it, I could have given it to you cheaper than the market. The spiciness is amazing, but the flavors, the aromas, the user-friendliness and so on will go away. "

"Man, anybody can get greedy if they put a lot of money in front of him."

Saying so to the disappointed mile, it was Lena looking at Pauline with a glimpse of her side.

"Even if I wait till evening, I feel like it's going to be a waste of time."

So, Pauline with a fed up face.

"So let's go hunting for something, until evening, to make the most of some time?

"" "Oh!

Mavis' proposal brought everyone together.

And evening.

The face of the "Red Vow", which again came to the luxury dining room Calamity, sat facing the shopkeeper at the table in the store.

"Then continue the negotiations in the morning.

After all, I haven't asked you how much you would like to re-offer yet, but now how much would you like to offer?

Pauline's voice was cold. I guess I don't consider this shopkeeper a 'good dealer' anymore.

"Before you do that, give me the real thing. It's a lot of money, because they can't just take the money and say," I already sold it. "

Pauline nodded and Miles put a wooden barrel out of the item box with spices on it and placed it on the table.

And the shopkeeper who saw it said, "Oh, no."

"So shall we talk about where this came from? With that information, I'll pay you eleven gold coins."

"" "" Ahhhhhhhhhh... ""

Four people with deep sighs.

After all, it was a waste of time.

When everyone in "The Red Vow" tried to pull it off, the shopkeeper thumped his hands, pampered. Then the lateral door opened and five hunter-style men, aged 30-40 or so, appeared from there.

The men were positioned in a manner where the two blocked the entrance and exit, with the three of them protecting the shopkeeper.

"I tried to make it easier for you because of that, but I can't help it if that's the way it is.

Come on, get these guys!

"" "" Ahhhhhhhhhh... ""

"No, even if they told you to seize it, there's nothing to harm you, and you just didn't break the deal?

If we hold that back, we'll be criminals... "

Apparently, it's not like he was hired by the money to hang out. Looks like a regular hunter, as it seems.

"These guys are part of the bandit who attacked the wagon!

There it is, taken, our spices. He showed up nagging me to buy it out, so I tried to buy it back with eleven gold coins, but he blew it up, so I decided to capture him and stick it out to the police officer. Come on, get him!

Even so, it would be hard if it were a mistake, inadvertently seizing it. Especially when the other person becomes a young girl, there can also be dishonorable charges and hunter disqualification and so on. I couldn't do anything bad.

"We were hired as escorts. There's no reason to take down a woman who doesn't seem to do you any harm. Even if it's a bandit.

Well, if it's really a taste of banditry, there's going to be a prize money, and it's not vulgar to cooperate as a good 'good hunter'...

So, what, you got proof?

The shopkeeper, who said so, pointed to the wooden barrel placed on the table.

"This is it! This is a spice that Nong ordered and picked up from a distant country, taken from both bandits!

The hunters, who were told so, heard towards the Miles.

"Yeah, I'm telling you, is that true?

Boom, boom!

Four people shaking their heads all together.

"In the first place, it's a special spice that we got. I don't think you can get it at approximately.

Please check with the store owner to see where you ordered it.

It may take some time to confirm it with your order, but if you contact a nearby store or commercial guild, you'll soon know if there's a store like that, if that kind of product has been out before, and if it was used in this store?

Hunters who turn their gaze to the store owner for miles of words.

"And where to buy ingredients, it's the secret of the store! Something to talk to a pepper about!

Why don't you guys talk about where you got it and prove your innocence!

"Huh? You said it wasn't a pepper talk, did you?

Miles to say that back with a frightened face. The hunters are laughing bitterly, too.

"Nah..."

"So, the bandit took your spice, they said, but you didn't have to pay for it because it was taken before you received it, right, yesterday morning?

So it doesn't belong to you, it belongs to a spice dealer. What right do you have?

Hunters look at the mouth caged shopkeeper with a frightened face in the words of Miles.

"And, in the first place, were they really ordered in such large quantities? Do the spices and quantities in this wooden barrel match the ones ordered?

"Oh, oh, the five kilograms I ordered, they match perfectly!

Miles grinning at that answer from the store owner.

"Well...... now you have cleared your suspicions of us!

With that said, Miles took one after the other out of the item box and lined it up on the table. Various containers containing large quantities of spices.

"" "". "" Yeah, yeah, yeah. Eh!

Not only the store owner, but the hunters gave a shout of surprise.

"" "" "" And storage magic!

"Now it turns out we didn't take this spice from the wagon, did we?

It was the hunters who snorted at the miles they said to themselves, not the owners.
