I Said Make My Abilities Average!

"... what, it wasn't an individual sale of liquor remaining..."

Drop your shoulders disappointingly, workshop owner.

"Alcohol? Oh, excuse me! It's irreplaceable as usual, but go ahead!

A merchant leader took out a bottle of liquor that he had prepared as a souvenir and gave it to the workshop owner.

(Ah...)

Miles finally realized it here. To what I did.

"Oh, booze... what..."

To the workshop owner who shows an obvious expression of disappointment, a hasty leader.

Even here, brewed liquor is made, only in the village of blacksmith, and there are facilities for making distilled liquor at first, but because you can't put it to sleep patiently or wait for it to mature, and you swallow it all from the edge of making it, there is no such thing as' fine distilled liquor 'to feed yourself in this village. Besides, brewing liquor is not that big of a deal.

For this reason, this brand of liquor, which the merchant corps always brings as a souvenir, has hitherto been much welcomed. To the extent that the workshop owner feels comfortable swallowing on his own, I'll let the employees lick one at a time.

That gave me an obviously discouraging look now. This is something, and it was not impossible for the leader to think intertwined with this one.

Yes, Miles set up a sales office after the leader headed to the village chief's house, and by the time the leader returned, the goods had already sold out and the sales office had almost been withdrawn. For that reason, I went from miles in advance and said, 'Do you mind if I, too, sell what I have in my storage?' I was asked and admitted, 'Though I knew Miles had sold something, I didn't even care what it was.

Because I thought it was about a kid's leisure time crushing play anyway, and about what I bought on the journey, what I no longer needed, and what I picked up sophisticated for the day......

As such, it was the beginning of a discussion in a somewhat subtle atmosphere, but since the leader and the workshop owner are familiar with each other who have already made many deals, and if the daughter of the liquor store who might bring us some fine liquor next time is with us, the workshop owner will listen to us properly, so no problem.

"Half the goods, and the price is the same as last time."

The story, however, was not aromatic for the merchant side.

Merchant leader with troubled face to the workshop owner who says the same thing as the village chief.

"Master Murakami, he said the same thing. What the mayor of the village, who is dividing the whole deal, said, is immediately (don't do it), the agreement of the workshop owners of this village, and I know you can't break it on your own. What we want to know is why that suddenly happened and whether there are any measures to withdraw it and get it.

For some reason, the village chief didn't tell me why, so I was wondering if I could tell you that...

Explaining why won't break the agreement, so it won't be a problem, will it? If you can't get any explanations like this, there will be no purchase and we will never bring a merchant squad to this village again.

Until now, we've had a good relationship with each other. Don't you think it's a shame that years of relationships end without even letting me know why?

To the resolute words of the merchant leader, the workshop owner also opened his mouth with a reluctant face, knowing that it was apparently serious, and that it would be involved in the survival of the village if it were proper without talking about anything.

"... ok. I hear the village chief couldn't talk in his position, but it's not something I need to tell you. It's just a matter of perseverance.

But as village chiefs in our position as representatives, I wonder how much the same human race could not bother to show weakness from ourselves to humans and elves in our proud, blacksmith-related matters. Don't feel bad about it......

But when the merchant squad stops coming or you can't buy the product, you can't say that. As before, we have our own carriages, escorts, walking around the villages... "

It would be intolerable for them, who are rooted artisans and not merchants, to spend their lives on business disputes rather than manufacturing. Besides, when the original value doubles, considering the expenses of carriages, escorts, etc., sales are not very desirable even when doing business.

I don't know if you understand it around there either, but anyway, the workshop owner explained the situation to me.

According to this, oaks and orgasms have settled in the mountains where the village is mining iron ore. Fuel wood and other mountains are fine, but they can't mine iron ore unless it's that mountain.

In the first place, it seems that the reason why the Dwarves created the village here was for the mountain. Nothing, he didn't live behind an inconvenient mountain without meaning.

But the merchant leader who heard it said, "You just have to crusade".

It is only natural for a merchant to think so.

Dwarves combine a robust body with flexion. And in this village, you can make as many weapons and protective equipment as you want to match its body. This means that some demons can crusade themselves. In fact, some of the Dwarves' youths are as good as some go out into the human city and become hunters.

So if you're a bunch of magnificent people forged up in your daily mining and blacksmith work, you wouldn't be a big opponent, like an orc or an org.

Yes, Komura survives in the mountains because the neighboring demons can get rid of them on their own, and until the merchants started coming on a regular basis, they carried their own merchandise for sale and went to buy out what they needed, so they were supposed to kick around the auga.

"... that's what caused the damage..."

"Huh?"

Yes, a proud clan, Dwarves, who live in robust, benign and dangerous mountainous areas and make excellent products.

Hanging with that pride, he crusaded demons who lived near important mining sites. By the aspirations I remember in my arms, as a village, I put in a great deal of war.

... and six dead and a large number of wounded, the crusade fails. Dwarves who don't like magic can't naturally have people who are good at healing magic in a small village like this, even if they run out of medicines all over the village, the healing effect and other resting degrees.

The amount of iron ore mined has fallen dramatically because we have lost much of our power, we cannot afford to do both the village's defense and the mining team's escort, and it is there that we do so so so so that demons do not find mining by small numbers with fewer escorts. The blacksmiths and apprentices are also in a state where many of them are unable to work as they think because of their injuries. One house is apparently closed, losing two of its main blacksmiths.

So there are only half the products I can give you, but it is unacceptable that the price will be half.

With the cost of this sale, village representatives accompany the merchants to the city to buy and collect medicines. And if possible, hire an skilled healing magician and bring him home. To do this, we need a lot of money.

"A healing magician? No, before you do, you should ask for a demon crusade! In that situation, there are more injuries to the mining team, and if you do poorly, the villages will be attacked by demons! I need to make a request to the Hunter Guild Branch right away!!

But to the words of the merchant leader, the workshop owner shook his head to the side.

"There's no way that our Dwarves can expose the ugliness of crying to humans without their own hands protecting important mining sites!

It must be a laugh all over the continent and the name of this village will fall to the ground and no one will be there to buy the products made here and more!

(((((Dwarf, make it a pain in the ass yeah!

Some of them were Dwarves who were too self-conscious...

"... Well, I understand your situation. I was a little relieved to find that there were quite a few circumstances, rather than a one-sided price hike for no reason."

"Well, you see!

The workshop owner heard the words of the merchant leader and smiled relieved.

"But no matter what the circumstances, you can't do business that would result in a deficit. I and my associates have responsibilities to my family, employees, and customers.

Whatever you donate to philanthropy when you can afford it, it's just a stupid thing to do, losing credibility, being ridiculed, and being licked, such as trading for deficit readiness in commerce, which is a real job. 'I bought them high from them, but how can we try to buy them cheap from ourselves!' You'll be blown away and you'll never be able to trade at a decent price again.

The circumstances are those of everyone in this village, not ours. There is absolutely no reason why we should accept a deficit-aware deal and lose our property and credibility. Yes, as much as the mayor of the village didn't think about our circumstances at all and was given one-sided conditions!

…………

A workshop owner clouding his face to a merchant leader who uttered a negative word in a strong tone.

Workshop owners don't mean they're real idiots, even though they're craftsman idiots and high-handed. They had a sense that they were being unscrupulous, and they never got angry or stuffed against a merchant with a cold attitude, even though they had made many deals before. And it just gave me a bitter look...

"Then you just have to destroy the demons."

While the words were interrupted and quiet, Lena's words were abruptly released.

"Hey, what..."

Workshop owner to jam words into a easy to say lana. The leader of the merchant also looks surprised.

And to Lena's words, the others continued.

"If you don't have medicine, why don't you use healing magic?"

(Amazing at Marie Antoinette! No, actually, Marie didn't say that kind of dialogue. Marie was nine when the book with that dialogue came out, and of course, she wasn't the queen yet...)

To Pauline's words, miles to think about what doesn't matter.

"Well, if we fail for the first time, we just need to assemble our stronger forces and conduct a second recapture operation of the mining site."

(Les, legios!!

And to Mavis' words, while still thinking about something I don't know, something, Miles was starting to motivate me.
