"It wasn't you, kid. Was it Ars? Can a beast use magic? You're the one who asks weird questions."
I asked my doubts the next time the peddler came.
The demand for bricks hasn't dropped yet, and they sell just what they're made of.
The pedestrian who asked me a question answered me with a two-legged lizard-type service beast pulling the truck that I brought.
"I don't know, I've never heard of such a thing... Probably not."
It is the value of information that I feel reincarnated into this world.
I was born in a rural village and I don't know much about it.
But if you've never heard of a peddler walking around doing business more than I have, then you're probably right.
Maybe there is a beast somewhere that can use magic, but at least it's not common.
"So, asking that means that the beast's eggs hatched safely?
"Yeah, I'm horse-shaped, so I can carry my stuff."
That's good. Als, let me have a look. "
A peddler is coming after us.
A smile like I've never seen before.
Well, that's fine.
For the time being, Valkyrie says not to show the use of magic in public.
I just went to get Valkyrie.
"I like this one. That's great, Ars. I wish I could carry the cargo, but it looks better than that. White is my favorite color."
"Great. But I'm not selling Valkyrie."
"Valkyrie? Is this Valkyrie? But why don't you sell it? You said you wanted money, and you bought all the servant beast eggs."
"That's right. I knew you were attached to me. She wants to keep it with her."
It is true that I am concerned that magic can be used more than love.
I just want to keep it with me, honestly.
Valkyrie listens to us very well.
Plus, he's more powerful than my kid.
It would be very helpful if you could think of it as a labor force.
A businessman is thinking about my opinion. [M]
For a while, um, I was thinking with my hand on my chin, but I nodded and looked at this.
"Okay. Then why don't you make a deal with me?
"Deal?" What?
"I'm talking about the Service Beast. Actually, I have about five beast eggs with me right now. I'll give this to you."
"Is that okay? It's not cheap, is it, a beast egg?"
"Of course not for free. I'm a merchant. Here's the deal. I'll provide you with a beast egg. And you hatch and grow those eggs. Then I'll buy the beast."
"Well, in short, I'm going to lay eggs, so I'm going to have to monopolize the trade in beasts?
"I appreciate your understanding. That's what it is. Your servant beast wouldn't bother the buyer. Then we can get enough money even if we lose it first. I don't know. I don't know."
That's how a merchant laughs with his thumbs up.
Apparently, I've earned a lot of credibility since I started making sandals that didn't make a lot of money.
Surely, there is little worry of being taken away, and there is not much disadvantage from the pedestrian side?
What about me? [M]
I don't think it has much disadvantage.
But let's decide on the minimum conditions.
The pedestrian side must provide me with the beast eggs free of charge.
I raise it and sell it only to traders.
I can decide how many times to buy or sell beasts.
Negotiate the amount.
If there is a significant loss to me, it is possible to terminate the contract here.
The above-mentioned conditions shall be a one-year contract, and when the contract is renewed, new conditions can be changed, etc.
The peddlers also looked reluctant when I said the terms more than I thought, but I managed to put together a contract with this.
Even so, I don't think it's such a loss to each other.
Maybe this is the merchant-specific stuff, but it can't be helped.
Anyway, I succeeded in obtaining the servant beast's eggs stably.
