I Said Make My Abilities Average!

"... Huh? Yeah, that's well, I don't mind in particular..."

A request made by Pauline in the middle of a meeting, 'Can we finally do business too?' The client returned an acknowledgement reply, albeit slightly confused, to the question.

I hear from the guild master who brokered me that some of the hunters in the escort have storage. So I thought that I would use it to hitch a ride into business and even make a little penny, and I agreed without thinking deeply about it.

Young girls', between escort assignments, a little side job. That's about it, it's no big deal to miss it.

In the first place, I don't even think there's a risk that the main part of the escort mission is on the move, and when you're doing business all over the city, you're fighting for a moment. If you get tangled up in a roundabout, even if you're selling items with them right next to you, there should be plenty of time to just get in there to help, and there's no problem at all.

Besides, the purpose of this merchant corps is to gather information and not to make a profit in commerce separately. So the value of the sale is considerably cheaper and the buy-in price is on the contrary higher, attracting as many customers as possible and giving the information….

That's what my client said......

"Please don't be ridiculous!

"I'm making fun of the merchants!!

Pauline and Lena yelled at me.

"If you value it off with the market around you, there will be market turmoil and annoyance for other merchants!

"What would a spy do if he acted prominently! I'm not stupid!

"Obviously if you were selling at an unusually low price or buying in at a high price, you'd be suspicious and immediately eyed! Besides, are there any civilians out there who can talk to such a suspicious merchant!

He was already in octopus beating.

That would have been unforgivable for Pauline, the daughter of the merchant, and Lena, who was a father and daughter (Oyako) traveling by one carriage......

"Well, which one is the real merchant..., so to speak, your client wasn't a real merchant either..."

Miles was right.

Still, even though I was young at the time, enough to say that Lena, who was helping her father and imitating a seller, had just more experience in being named a merchant. Likewise, Pauline, who was helping the store...

"... and, ladies and gentlemen, you're a bit of a poor minister in shape. Do a belly roll under your clothes or round your dressed underwear and stick it in and make it feel plumper."

As Pauline put it, all three men as merchants looked lean and in poor shape.

Because it would be the clerical method or the people in the research field, there is no choice, but if the merchant, not the traders in charge or the luggage pullers, can carry more than a carriage, he is more credible if he is a little hungry and in a good (cuddly) shape. Because it seems that the fudge, the equals are good, and not the disguise of a poor man or a bandit.

Besides, it was common sense in this world that tongues needed to be fat in order to ascertain the taste of ingredients to be bought, and merchants in charge were fat.

It is a testament to the fat, the equal-rich, the successful, and the hot on the woman. For that reason, at least, there is no such thing as spending money on a diet.

"After this, we'll give you a little guidance. By the time you leave, you'll be wearing the look of a merchant!

Something was motivating Pauline and Lena funny.

Looking at that like Miles is other HR (one by one)......

"Miles, after that, I'm going to go buy it out!

Apparently, you were motivated. Perhaps he intends to imitate it because he saw that in the village of Dwarf, he earned one with a mile of alcohol.

The clients didn't seem to care much about you because they thought the storage capacity of the members of The Red Oath would be no big deal. Perhaps, as common sense in the world suggests, they think it's a few to a few dozen kilometers, or even 200 to 300 kilometers if it's less.

And after the meeting, Pauline and Lena's instruction on "Merchant's Heart" began….

"We're leaving the day after tomorrow, so today, tomorrow, we're going to go around purchasing products!

After a meeting with the clients (and "Merchant's Mind, Special Course" by Pauline and Lena), Pauline and Lena suddenly pulled Miles out to Inquirer Street. … not a shopping district lined with general retail stores, but a wholesale inquirer, a mass-buying inquirer.

Whatever Pauline is, Lena is also strangely motivated. Maybe he was in business with his father, even remembering his childhood......

And because I don't like leaving myself alone, of course, Mavis was stuck after the three of us.

"Do you know about the Empire, Miles?

"Oh, yes, again, it came with a tutor until I was eight, and even though I dropped out, seating was the chief in Wang Du's school. About neighboring countries..."

I answered Pauline's question, eh, with a face like that, Miles.

Miles...... Adele was not the chief because those with practical skills were out of hand.... Everyone in the school found out that I was out of hand.

"Then you naturally know why the empire is called a 'great power', don't you?

"... the empire is' big 'in three ways. national territory, military power, … and the burden of the people"

"Yes, well done!

That's what I said, pounding Miles' head, and pounding Pauline gently. Miles laughs, eheh?

... Yes, the Alburn Empire, with its vast national territory, was never a rich country.

Much of the national territory is wasteland and steep (cucumber) mountainous areas, with few great rivers flowing through the country and many rivers with low water volumes, such as those that dry up quickly.

In other words, food shortages, chronic financial difficulties,

Forest and mineral resources are abundant, but such, the majority of neighbouring countries, are similar. There was no industrial revolution, and iron and copper are not needed in that large quantity. Most countries had sufficient production in their own countries.

Besides, there's no way that we can make a profit by carrying heavy wood and iron from afar down a road with huge lows and highs. Every country has enough forests and mines in the country.

Moreover, there are bandits and demons, regardless of where they go, who are after the wagons on their way home loaded with the cost of the sale and the food they have purchased.... Now we can't even talk about trade with other countries.

There is no agricultural land, there is no food, there is no gold, … and there is abundance of iron ore to make weapons and wood to make iron.

... There was only one way to go.

Militarism, straight line.

Food and financial difficulties that focus on armaments and further persecute (hiccups) for them.

The only way to recover the money invested is no longer by array.

War, plunder, new territory, fertile earth. A workforce that can be treated like slaves, a second-class citizen of the occupied territories.

The future of the Alburn Empire was decided.

Will it merge the neighbouring countries to become a true power?

Or do we walk the road to annihilation, being slapped by the neighbouring countries?

Of course, the Empires will not be willing to perish...

"Ah, there! You can buy a lot of cheap wheat at at the inquirer there! Empire people need something cheap and lots to buy, not luxury goods. If you're a regular merchant, you can't make much profit if you don't make it expensive because of the load of carriages, but we're, you know, miles away..."

"Miles..."

"I have miles. Hey, ha..."

"haha......"

Hanging out with the three of us, laughing miles without power.

(It's People Help! Happy for all the civilians in the Empire, and…)

"Kufu. Khuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."

(If Mr. Pauline would be happy...)

And Pauline seems to be exploring quite a bit of commerce, and after this, and the next day, she dragged miles around the city with Lena...
