Finally, the day came.

"Shiloh, brother"

Eina, who let me out of breath, jumped into the store.

Ha ha ha a rough breath and the face that looks up at me is serious itself.

I immediately guessed what Aina was going to say.

"Brother Shiloh, one of the shiatsu is here!

"Are you finally here? That was a long time ago."

Five days had already passed since the expected date of arrival.

During that time, Mr. Karen waited at the entrance to town for so long that his face burned in the day that he felt so pathetic.

"Aina, do you know where the inspectors are right now?

"I am! Aina, I just saw the mayor go to the hall with one of them!

"I see. It's almost time for you to come here."

In a story that Karen had heard beforehand, he led the visitor through the town first, then the types and ecology of monsters in the woods. Description of the herbs and minerals that can be collected.

Then I looked around the market and was supposed to show a bunch of items, including matches, in my shop with the flow.

And at the end of the day, do you really want to ask me if you can put the branch down?

Karen, who pitches all he can to attract.

I'm anxious when it comes to anxiety that it sounds like a reputable adventurer guild, but I'm taking care of Mr. Cullen. I hope I can repay you a little today.

"Okay. Good luck with that."

"Mmm! Good luck with Eina, too"

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"Shiloh, you kept me waiting."

Two hours later, Mr. Karen came into the store.

Are you wearing clothes with a wider chest than usual because of this culture or because it's entertainment again?

In the store, Karen has a few other adventurer customers.

You must be worried about me for insignificant Mr. Ryer.

"Just now, can I bring in the inspectors?

"Yeah. I don't mind. I was ready to come whenever I wanted."

"Thank you. That... seems a little hard on you. I'm sorry, but even if you say something unpleasant, I want you to enjoy it."

Suddenly Mr. Cullen lowered his head.

I haven't seen him yet, but you'll see that this exchange is the only one who's having a rough time with the person.

"Okay. I'm used to unreasonable ramblings, so I'm fine."

At the black company I used to work for, cursing noise flew around as normal.

I'm used to rumbling because I've been hit more than once.

"Helpful. Then let's bring him"

That said, Mr. Karen went outside once and brought a fat middle-aged man back to the store.

Uncle Fatty looks over the store at the top of the Buddha and his gaze settles in the valley of Mr. Karen's chest.

"Lord Gabes, this is the shop our town is proud of."

Mr. Cullen introduced my shop to a man.

A fat, middle-aged man called Gabes turns to me.

"Nice to meet you. My name is the shopkeeper's samurai"

Introduce yourself and gently bow your head,

"It's Eina."

Aina imitates and introduces herself.

He's already a fine clerk.

……

Even with me and Aina introducing themselves, the fat middle-aged man - Mr. Gabes - stays silent through.

Or have you not ignored this?

You're ignoring me, aren't you?

"... I was hoping to hear from the mayor that there was a store that handled some awesome items... Phew. That's a lot of dirty shopping. Are you cleaning properly?"

I found this word hurting Eina, the cleaning minister.

When I look sideways, tears are starting to build up in my eyes.

Come on... Patience. Patience, samurai. Put the blade over your heart and sneak.

"I clean and wipe every day."

"Is this it? Oh, boy, can't those who live on the periphery even clean properly? Or does it smell like dust because it's on the edge? I can't believe you live in a dirty place like this."

When Mr. Gabes said so, he shrugged his shoulder, for Christ's sake.

Karen panicked about this,

"I'm sorry, Lord Gabes. Ninolich is surrounded by fields and woods, so the earth and dust really come in."

and have put in a follow up.

And bring the match straight from the shelf and hand it to Mr. Cubs.

"Lord Gabes, this is the 'match' we talked about earlier. It is very effective as a spark and can only be bought in this store. Shiloh, okay?

In response to Karen's inquiry, I return "go ahead" in a gesture.

"Hmm. This is the rumor...... which, would you like to try one"

When Mr. Gabes says so, he takes out the match stick with his familiar behavior (...) and lights it.

"... I see. The store is dirty, but the items seem to deal with good stuff. You know how the mayor feels about pushing this shop."

"Do you understand, Lord Gabes? This store will surely help the adventurers who belong to your guild. I guarantee it in the name of the mayor."

"Huh. Not even guaranteed like the mayor of the border."

"Huh..."

"But this' match 'is going to help our guild adventurers. If so...... Hmm. Yeah, that's good. As someone who deposits full powers from the General Alliance Master, you can place a branch of the Adventurer Alliance, the Looter of the Labyrinth, in this town."

This is a match, too, or I have a feeling the negotiations are going to come together all of a sudden in my store.

I heard what Mr. Gabes said, and Mr. Cullen was surprised.

I immediately got a joyous look on my face.

"Ho, is that true, Lord Gabes? You can really get Ninolich to put the branch down, right?

"Yeah, it's true."

"Then as soon as..."

"Except! … subject to a few conditions"

"Conditions? What kind of thing is that?

Mr. Gabes had a nasty grin with a garlic and opened his mouth just saying he had been waiting.

"What, it's easy. First, let the Adventurer Guild you place in this town be our 'Labyrinth Marauder' only. Especially if there's no such thing as a drunken guild that wants to have branches in this town besides us."

Mr. Gabes continues.

"Next is tax exemption. This is only natural because it is difficult to make a profit by placing branches on the border. I would also ask you to bear the cost of building the branch in this town. And finally..."

Keep your eyes closed, Mr. Gabes looks at me.

And I've said this.

"Shall I also give you priority selling rights for this' match '?"
