I Shall Survive Using Potions!

"... that's why the former store manager said no more." the rest.... "
The Hidden Branch (Medium Boss) and the Master Boss (Las Boss), the head office.
Kyou-chan nodded, "Yeah, yeah."
Yeah, of course, we're not just satisfied with the bottom edge (the lizard's tail).
Besides, in order for us to be recognized and seen as young girls, we need to crush those who made a fool of us.
Otherwise, you won't have a strong say or influence.
That's why...
"In the meantime, let's hit the hidden branch..."
"Freed guy, I missed you..." You useless bastard..... "
In the Seitos store, Oraldo, the shopkeeper... actually the branch manager..., was overflowing with folly.
The plan was directed by the head office of the capital city. It seems that the source of the products that have recently started to appear in a very small amount in the capital city is the personal store in this city, and the idea is to seize the supply route...
The investigation showed that the route from this city to the capital city was a branch of the Hawks Chamber of Commerce.
The Hawks Chamber of Commerce branches are supplied with products from a small, recently opened, private store.
... and this personal store was run by a girl who had been notified by the guild before that the special measures of the guild of industry and commerce were applied.
"Guild of Commerce and Industry Special Measures, Paragraph 2, Article 3-2.
...... If the nobles, powerful people, or their loyalists come to you with impunity and conceal their identities, I will ask them to behave amicably in an unnoticed manner...... "Don't make a bad impression..."
But that kind of thing doesn't matter if you don't find out.
And if we find out, we just have to insist that the Freed guy did it on his own and that it has nothing to do with us.... after all, he quit my job long ago, which is why he was hired by that shop.
It was the guild that recommended him to that store. So, whatever happens, the responsibility lies with the Freed Guy and his guild. I didn't recommend it, and I don't know anyone who quit our store. I have nothing to do with it, no responsibility..... "
Oraldo is optimistic because he doesn't think Freed will tell the truth.
Even if something happens, I will never talk about my relationship with this store. That is because I have promised that I will not do anything bad.
In the first place, it was not possible for the proprietor's daughter to be absent for a few days to show her face to her relatives, and in the meantime it was revealed that she would scour the room and look for the purchase contract and transport plan.
The two clerks are children from the orphanage, and they also go from the orphanage. Then, after the two of them have returned, there is only one Freed in the store.
It is natural to be in a store, and no one can blame you.
Now the scout couldn't have found out.
I only need to secure a few samples of the product's modesty.
There is also a way to pay for it properly, but that is ridiculous. You won't find out about a few of them, and if the numbers don't match, you'll have to worry about whether they were sold or stolen by the clerks.
The orphanage has a much higher level of credibility than Fried. I don't have to think about which one to trust.
Based on that idea, the plan was advanced... "
That's how it was revealed.
Moreover, it was determined that it was Freed's crime. "There is definite evidence..."
Gilmouth of the Guild of Commerce and Industry, Vice Gilmouth, and a few others came to the Setos store to ask about the situation, but they said that it had nothing to do with the person who quit, and pushed back, and they easily withdrew and went back.
Orald thought it was because Fried hadn't confessed to his relationship. The guild easily retreated and the guards were not accompanying them.
If Friede had spit everything out, the Guard would have accompanied him and tried to capture him for questioning. The fact that there was no such thing means that I did not have any suspicions, but just came to check the situation.... yes, believe me...
Oraldo believed that Friedo would never confess everything.
If you tell me everything, no one will help you after you're released.
However, if you remain silent, you will be rewarded with adequate compensation and a position as an employee after release… Fried believes that retirement is just an illusion and that he still holds a position as an employee of the Setos store… he will be assured and will be promised a way out of life in return for taking on a dangerous dirty job.
Even if they find out that they just searched the house and didn't steal anything and did no harm to people, they won't be charged with a serious crime. At best, it should be a few days' detention or a fine.
... there may be rumors of a young woman scouring the room, but it has nothing to do with her ability as a merchant, and it's a trivial and cute thing compared to what the merchant owners are doing. It was not seen as a separate problem within the industry. If it's cute, it will be a smiling episode.
Certainly, Oraldo was not going to give himself a loyal Freed.
No way, I didn't think that Freed's house search and merchandising would break out, and that the management would believe in the orphans more than Fried's testimony, and that even the guild would support it.
However, in this way, we can no longer rehire Freed and accept him as a successor.
To do so would be to acknowledge that we are allies.
... but there's nothing wrong with that.
In this city, I will send you to the head office of the royal capital because I am ill, and it is common for you to be attacked unhappily by bandits during your journey.
Oh, my God!
Oraldo clapped his desk in a rage, as one of his staff reported.
"Detailed information about Freed's crime department has spread throughout the city, and there are rumors that it was due to our instructions, that our retirement was disguised and all was framed... and that I betrayed Fried and abandoned him, and pushed all sins against Freed and pretended not to know..."
Besides, even the rumor that we are a hidden branch of the Kurt Chamber of Commerce, not an ordinary store..... "
... the rumors are all true.
In the case of the last hidden branch, almost everyone in the commercial guild, and the general public, was originally known by quite a few.
Although everyone was visible, there was no solid evidence, and it was not harmful to them, so it was just going through.
It is only the Hawks Chamber that officially branches in this city that is causing direct inconvenience. Does the Hawks Chamber also intend to make things worse? It was unpleasant, but it was silent, so why is it that something that has become an open secret suddenly hangs on people's mouths now...?
But I can't help yelling at the reporter.
"Damn it, only Freed knows such accuracy!" You betrayed me! "
You were going to betray yourself, Oraldo.
But Freed hasn't shown up since the incident.
If this is after meeting with Orald and the conversation is broken, I can still understand it, but even though I haven't met him, Freed can't spread the rumor. That means... "
"... you spit everything on the guild..."
If the Guard threw up, they'd be here by now, and they'd be interrogating themselves. Thinking so, Orald thought that Freed only vomited from the guild, and that the guild did not give Freed to the guard.
"... that means Freed is still captured by the guild." And the guild doesn't intend to make things worse any more... "Shed uncertain rumors to discredit my name, and use it as a sanction against me.
"I didn't expect the guild to conduct its own interrogation without handing it over to the guards..."
Freed was forced to throw up, but he didn't mean to betray me...
And this is a message from the guild that I do not intend to establish a business with the Kurt Chamber of Commerce (head office), but I will not allow it anymore.
I don't have a choice. I won't protest against the guild, but let's keep the pain separate.
If you ignore anything, rumors, etc., poorly, it will soon subside. Besides, everyone knew that we were related to the Kurt Chamber of Commerce. It doesn't matter what they say now. "
The guild is not going to do anything more.
Thinking like that, although I was furious earlier, I had already settled down and decided to send Freed to the King's City as soon as he was released from the guild.
"I have to talk to the marauder..."
The adversary who circulated the extra rumor was the Guild of Commerce and Industry.
And they won't do any more.
I don't doubt my judgment, Oraldo.
... sure enough, Oraldo was right.
Regarding the movement of the guild of industry and commerce (......), (......).
However, the Commercial Guild was not the only one hostile to Setos Shoten.
And Orald hadn't realized yet that he had turned something even worse than a commercial guild into an enemy...
