I Shall Survive Using Potions!

273 Trader Joe's 2

The next day, a call came from the guild.

"Yes, the new American hunter sent me a message..."

"Why do you think I have to go all the way to Awe to talk to you?"

If you want to talk to me, please tell me that you will come. If you try to imitate something strange, a spear may drop from the ceiling or a poison needle may pop out of the chair...... I will listen to you during our reception, so..... "

Ah, it turned pale and ran away.

"I hate it, it's a light joke..."

It's not a spear that comes down, it's an electric shock, and what's on the needle is not poison, but a numbing medicine.

And I came two hours later. Gilmouth and an unknown man.

I guess so? If so, did you leave the next person behind to prevent the top of the guild and the next person from being killed at the same time?

And for some reason, Gilmouth and the other man are wearing leather armor.... it looks like you don't have a weapon.

... no, no, no, no, don't take this seriously...

Besides, you can't prevent poison needles without metal armor.

It was probably weaker than a lightning strike.

"...... hey, I'm here to report my findings......"

Gilmouth's voice was trembling.

"No, it's too much!" It's just a little girl's joke, isn't it? "

…………

"It's a bit too reactive..."

Ah, maybe I'm gentle and kind, but do you think that hidden guards (there is no such thing) and reported relatives (back) (there is no such thing) are strong means of retaliation?

"Yeah, I guess that makes it impossible for you to worry about that..."

Well, for now, please sit down there.

That said, I pointed out the seats for business, but Gilmouth and the others wouldn't move.

…………

That chair doesn't have a [poison needle that jumps out] mechanism.

…………

I told the new American hunter, but there is no "reception time" here.

With so few rooms, I can't afford a room that I rarely use.

After hesitating for about thirty seconds, they finally took their seats.

“Close the store once and for all. And a cup of tea....."

The two clerks hung the "during the break" card on the door, locked it, and retreated back to prepare tea and confectionery.

Of course, there are only two orphanages in the shop. The man who was hired as the manager is not at work.

... no, I guess I can't go to work (......), of course.

"... so how was it?" Did you throw up, that guy..... "

“Hmm. The interrogation confirmed that he was a loyal and sincere servant who would never betray the man we promised him, his master.”

Huh?

"Because, in fact, I betrayed you..."

"No, I'm not betraying my husband."

What's that supposed to mean?

"I was hired by the trader's association to find out where the merchandise came from and where it was made." In addition, I just faithfully followed orders from my original master (...) to take out some samples of the product.

Therefore, we assured you, 'This man is a sincere and loyal servant who will never betray his master', which is not a lie! '

"Nh, nh, nh... what the hell is that?!

Will that pass? Ahhhhhh!! "

"... ah, after all?"



I've tightened up the stupid Gilmouth and made him explain everything, of course.

"According to that..."

We can't have the evidence handed over to the guards for investigation because the evidence is not publicly available.

Therefore, it seems that the interrogation (...) was conducted secretly in the basement of the Commercial Guild.

"When I was young, I summoned my grandfather who was torturing me in another realm..."

"Grandpa was amazed at the extraordinary income and the need to rely on his abilities, and he was acting strangely..."

Can you do that with my motion alone?

No, I have two orphan testimonies, and I'm pretty sure I have 'solid evidence'.

In the first place, there is no reason for me to set up store manager personnel that I have not hired for a long time.

If you want to get rid of him, you can just fire him yourself. "Well then, I don't have any rights for my employees..."

Besides, for some reason, I seem to have a lot of trust here.

This is a matter of trust for the Guild of Commerce and Industry, so I guess they're desperate, too, maybe...

And it seems that the former store manager, just a few minutes after he was left alone with his ex-tortured grandfather, told me a lot of things. With many silver accessories (combs) stuck inside my nails...

I'm not a professional operative trained to withstand torture, I'm just a merchant's servant, so I can't help it.

"... and being loyal to your master means being loyal to [the master who ordered you to infiltrate], and recognizing that the orphan is not a subordinate, a colleague, or a guest.

'And do you think the owner will trust the orphan with what he or she says or what I say?' So you threatened both of the clerks, right?

That's what I understood, right? I don't know which to trust... "

Withstand the pressure that your actions will affect the lives of a large number of junior orphans, and if you want to protect the money and products of the store, you can't trust someone more than an idiot who spares no life.

... don't you think so? "

…………

Huh? I thought you were going to answer me right away, but with a positive response...

"However, I thought that I could finally relax and return home often, but it's gone away again."

... because of the traitor and the [malicious adversary].

I need to punish you so that no one thinks the same way about this... "

... with a smile. Saying so with a smile on your face, Gilmouth and the others are twitching their faces for some reason.

I don't know why.

Only those who are prepared to be counterattacked can attack others.

If it was a lump of iron that I hit with all my heart with a laugh, it was still a poisoned swordsman.

I have to teach you that... "



Then Kyoko contacted Kaoru and the others who were waiting for the results of Rodirich's interrogation.

"The manager I hired was betrayed by a spy. It's a bit unpleasant (......), so I'll deal with it lightly."

"Kyoko's [a bit unpleasant] came out..."

"Kyou-chan's 'I'll deal with it lightly' has come out..."

”Giiiiiiiiiiiiiii!”
