"... so what does that mean?

"Oh, oh, now I'm all kinds of things going on in this country..."

Miles resumed questioning the merchants, although the accusations from Lena and the others subsided and appeared unconvinced.

"It's not like there's been another coup d 'état, and it's not like it's going to be a war with some country or anything. Something about bad air or bad vibes......

More hunters fail the requests they receive, more people lose their necks and are in debt because of liquidated damages, or if that's all, they're still forced to retire because of injuries, and hunter guilds are in a dark atmosphere in every city......

The poor economy of the hunters also makes the economy worse for drinkers, lodgers, florists, etc. When that happens, people who work in places like that are also reluctant to pay money, so all kinds of industries are wasted. The hunters spend more money scattering in drinks and inns than the rest of us... "

(Oh, it's the same city where the U.S. Army and militia bases are...)

Miles had heard such stories in his previous life. Talk about the fact that salaries are pretty good and that military personnel, many of whom live on the base free of charge for food and clothing, have a lot of disposable income, so it's good to pay.

"In a city where 100 drinkers manage to operate in black, how many stores do you think will crumble if the overall sales of drinkers are reduced by 20%?

Here, twenty houses, etc. are not among the Red Vows.

Normally it would be a 'shake' in hopes of being able to answer that, but no one would, so the merchant went on to talk.

"Yes, all 100 houses. If all stores lose 20% of their sales, all stores will be in deficit and crumble.... Well, in fact, when nearly half of it crumbles, that won't happen because there's a customer flowing into the store that's managed to stop, but consider it an explanation as a word play.

Besides, if the surviving stores aren't sinister with the customers' money, the price per customer will drop. There's a deficit until then, and it won't be a good story. "

Two merchant daughters, two noble daughters. And one of them has knowledge in previous life.

Yes, the members of The Red Oath were all those who could understand such a story.

"Well, the city will have a bad vibe..."

Paulines snorting more and more in the face at the words of miles. As a merchant's daughter, it would be a stumbling block.... and the taxes paid by merchants are so important, so are the noble daughters...

"That's not all. The decrease in the number of hunters and the continued failure of requests means that requests for crusades of demons made by rural villages fail or there are no recipients. The merchant corps escort also had to hire low-level guys who couldn't muster manpower..."

"" "" Ahhh... ""

It is a vicious cycle.

You don't have to let everything smash into power to destroy a huge system called the 'economy' that is turning around well. If you let the gear bite the slightest grain of sand or cut off the lube, it would happen to stop turning well and collapse.

"That's why, kind of. Did you guys come here on some kind of request? Or is it a training trip? If you want to take a request, be careful. Make the safety factor bigger than usual and be careful.

Especially if you show your face to a guild branch that is in trouble because of the accumulation of requests, it is appropriate... you are the one who is' appropriate 'in a bad way, you may be pushed to do that, so don't think about the difficulty or danger and choose your job properly, okay?

…………

It was useful information, and Miles behaved like a warm lunch to the merchant in charge who thought about us and personally advised us, and gave Miles a bottle of distilled liquor in the item box as a thank you.

I pressed just in case to prepare the night camp properly and make sure it was safe for me to have dinner before drinking, but I was so pleased with the unexpected gift that it would have been a full consideration as a thank you for the information.

And after the merchant left many times thanking him...

"Guys, just now, what do you think?

"Uh-huh, you're certainly a leading candidate for 'Weird Rumors'..."

"But enough for other countries to bother investigating?

To Mavis' words, Pauline and Lena state their thoughts, but Miles had a little thought in mind. And......

"The problem is, it's the reason hunters continue to be unlucky, isn't it? And we have a case where that happens…"

"" "Huh?

Lena and the others surprised by the unexpected miles of words.

And Miles went on to say it.

"What if the requested demon met by the hunters heading for the crusade was' somehow, a demon one rank stronger than a normal demon '..."

"" "Ah..." "

Sure, everyone had an idea of a case like that.

"Stronger than normal oak......"

"Stronger than normal Auga......"

"of the village of Dwarf..."

Yes, it is, um, the 'unusual demons', which seem to have emerged from the cracks in the mysterious space.

Suppose the mysterious crack (arr) is made again and those demons show up from there...

If I go with the intention of getting rid of the oak, there will be an 'super oak' of the strength of the orgasm.

And if I go with the intention of getting rid of the aug, there will be a group of high aug-like strengths...

Yes, it was about to collapse, a reproduction of that Dwarf village.

"But I wonder if that's all this is going to happen?

But Mavis didn't seem convinced.

"When we were in that Dwarf village, it was like a half isolated village, where we were pretty far from the human village, and because our pride as Dwarves got in the way and didn't ask for help from the humans or circulate information, so we did, didn't we?

If it's a normal human village, the information that a stronger demon has appeared will soon spread, and the Alliance and the army will deal with it?

"Ugh, sure...... Besides, based on our reports on new species, the guild branches of neighboring countries should have circulars. This is the neighbor of the Marlene kingdom where the incident took place, and it's a friendly country.

Besides, not only via the guild, but also the route between states from the guild through the royal palace will be talked through... That's not how they deal with it... "

"Yes. For one thing, that report was not trusted and ignored. Two, I haven't noticed its relevance yet. Mitsu, I'm aware but intentionally through. Ok, I know, but I can't get around to it or anywhere..."

……

You convinced yourself of the analysis of miles around your head at times like this, the three of you who shut up. Probably considering overlooks, mistakes, other possibilities, etc., in my head.

"... Well, if we were a party and fought directly, even if we came to Pin, we might not have taken seriously the circular that inexperienced young hunters from other countries were sources. So it's not necessarily offensive and ignorant...

In the first place, there's no way you could have done it if you had a normal nerve, an embarrassing report that doesn't even extend to the excuse of a novice in the F-rank that the reason for the request failure was' cause they were stronger than normal '... "

"Even we didn't think of that until Miles told us, hey. I can't blame you..."

"Besides, that's just Miles' prediction yet, too. Actually, it doesn't matter at all, it could be another cause..."

The three of them, Lena, Mavis and Pauline, also thought that Miles' predictions might be there, but they didn't decide to be. Only added to consideration as one of the candidates for cause.

... although it is a 'candidate' with a pretty good chance.

"Well, you just crossed the border. If you solve it on the first day, you won't make any money!

"Haha, sure!

To Miles' words, Mavis agrees with laughter.

Yes, the requested 'training journey modoki' was just the beginning.

"And our journey was still going on..."

"" "Last time. Huh!!

(All right, you've been pretty trained...)

Laughing at the beautifully aligned penetration of the Lena's, it was a mile...
