"Now, let's start the auction! The Cyrus of the Ganz commercial guild. Let's start with the sellers of this auction. A-rank adventurer, Shining Star Alan."

Fuck! I haven't heard of this. In such a case, it would have been better to dress more properly. I got up from the chair and bowed.

"Oh! That's a shining star ..." "It's so young" "Is the hunt for bandits a Dragon Slayer?"

"Alan, say something."

"... I'm Alan, the shining star. Thank you for gathering for our auction today. Thank you."

Even if it is suddenly said, there is nothing more than this.

Merchants who crack and crack are starting to appear, and the number of claps is increasing. Eventually, all the merchants at the venue got up and started applauding.

The applause of this planet has the same praise or consent as most other human planets. I could not help standing up and bowed. What applause? I guess it's applause for catching the bandits.

When the applause is over, Cyrus sits in the chair next to us, and Carina and the guild staff stand on the stage as they are replaced.

"First of all, check the product. Look here. It is a panacea."

Carina gives a small vial.

"Oh!"

Guild personnel standing beside Carina raised her sleeves and slashed her knife over her elbow. The wound is not visible from here, but it is probably a cut because the elbow is dripping with blood. Carina opened the panacea stopcock, dipped it into the cloth and smeared the cut. There is a wait of about a minute, and the guild staff wipes his arm with a cloth.

"Oh!" "Great!"

The wounds have healed because everyone is surprised.

The effect of this panacea was also shown the other day when I had an auction with Karina. Of course, the components are analyzed by touching the panacea with your finger. Although it did contain unusual ingredients, it did not contain special substances and was commonplace in empires.

The only peculiarity is that the panacea contained magic. The magic of the dragon's blood contains magic, and mixing it with a drug may have the effect of making it a panacea. The reason why this is effective is that even Eiris' analysis does not understand, and it is necessary to take some time to study.

The panacea doesn't seem to rot. It was said that special stoppers made from slime materials could be stored for many years.

The capacity of one bottle of panacea is about 200 milliliters, and the number of panacea that could be made this time is 2,350. We decided to keep two hundred panacea stocks for clan stock, rather than auctioning them. In other words, there are two hundred fifty-five for auction.

In order to secure such a large number of glass bottles, the glass workshop in Gantz had been producing it for more than 20 days at full capacity. The raw materials for glass seemed to soar, and unnecessary glassware was broken and turned into small bottles.

"The Gantz Commercial Guild guarantees that all panacea have the same effect. So, I'd like to enter the auction. As you've noticed, you can only win five times in one firm. The listing unit is one hundred, fifty, thirty, twenty, ten. ''

I didn't know how to decide this exhibition unit, so I left it to Karina.

"Then, a hundred panacea. Please bid for one."

"Reel, 40,000 Guineas!", "Bochmill, 50,000 Guineas", "Tiril, 60,000 Guineas!", "Reel, 755,000 Guineas!"

Oh! The price goes up as interesting! One bottle costs eight million Guineas because the price is one. 80,000 Guineas in one such small bottle! ? It seems that Carina was not a national treasure grade.

"Talth Shokai, 100,000 Guineas"

Oh! Jonas! The ride on the double-digit platform has raised my throb.

"Brass Trading Company, 100,000 Guineas!"

Is it still up? But the momentum is dropping.

"Cyrus Shokai, 120,000 Guineas"

Oops, Arista. As Arista voiced, she heard tongues all over the place. Soon, Cyrus got angry out of her chair and was searching for someone to tongue out.

"It's 120,000 Guineas. Is there anyone who will be more expensive than that? ...... So, a panacea, 100 bottles. Cyrus Shokai has won a bid of 12 million Guineas."

The venue will be wrapped up in a throb.

"Then, next is the same panacea, one hundred. Auction at the price of one."

"Cyrus Shokai, 120,000 Guineas"

Arista announces immediately. …… There was no voice following.

“…… a panacea, 100 bottles. Cyrus Shokai has won a bid of 12 million guinea.”

After repeating this process three more times, Arista stood and left the venue, probably because of the limit on the number of successful bids. Well, it feels different from other firms.

"Then, next is the same panacea, one hundred. Auction at the price of one."

The price also went up, but mysteriously, the bid did not stop even after exceeding 120,000 Guineas.

"Talth Shokai, 140,000 Guineas"

"……… a panacea, one hundred. Tully's is awarded for 14 million guinea.”

Well, the reason why it did not reach more than 120,000 a while ago was that he thought that he could not compete with the Cyrus firm, probably the best firm in the country, or was afraid that he would be remembered that he had opposed it. It may have been pulled from. If you think so, you can understand the tongue.

After that, Taruso won another bid, but the winning bid continued to rise slightly. When a total of 1,500 pieces were awarded, the listing unit was changed to fifty pieces, and the auction became even more heated.

So that's it……. Since merchants without financial resources do not have hundreds of funds, did they have to wait until the number of exhibition units decreased? Rivals will increase and the number of remaining rivals will decrease, so the fight for prices will be fierce. The price per bid for fifty auctions per listing had risen to 175,000 Guineas.

It seems that the principle that those who have money can easily make money remains unchanged.

The four-hour bid has finally come to an end, and the last one has ended. The unit price of the last auction of 10 units is 250,000 Guineas. It was more than twice the initial winning bid.

250,000 Guineas per bottle. Not really, but I don't think it's profitable to resell.

Merchants are leaving the venue looking exhausted. I was just sitting, but somehow very tired. Payment will be made at a guild window at a later date in exchange for goods.

I approached Carina, who was also exhausted.

"Thank you very much, Carina.

"No, it's a once in a lifetime to be able to partition such an auction, so I can't say it's hard."

A guild member rushed in and handed a note to Karina. Carina looked at her note and opened her eyes.

"Alan, the total amount of the successful bid today is 388,721,300 Guineas."

"Oh!"

Everyone's surprise voice rises. I knew the amount because Nanom calculated it, but I was surprised before everyone.

"What a forehead! It's amazing! Alan!"

"Oh, great. I'm looking forward to tomorrow."

Everyone at the party looks happy. Clelia was especially happy, but she was probably glad she could send more money to Roberto.

"Ah, that's right! Arista. Please exhibit everything except the fangs of the dragon as planned."

"Huh? Then negotiations with the aristocrat?"

"That's right. That's it. We talked about both dragon fangs."

"Congratulations, Alan!"

"Well, it's not the final rule yet. I'll leave for the royal capital five days later."

"Okay, so I'll make that arrangement."

A large number of merchants were waiting on the first floor of the guild, and they were given more than 30 minutes to get out of the guild. After leaving the commercial guild, everyone headed home.

"I didn't think a panacea would cost that much. Wouldn't that be too expensive for that amount of money?"

"That's right. It's better to use healing magic if it's about a cut. It's less effective than healing magic, isn't it?"

I have heard rumors about panacea when I was in the Royal Palace.

"Well, a panacea has such an effect ... maybe it could be sold to nobles."

"I don't think aristocrats can be used unless they are of a modest aristocracy. The royal family probably buys them."

"I see. If so, would that amount be a business?"

Just when we arrived at home, we had already gathered in the dining room for dinner. After all the result of the auction will be worried. We decided to announce before we started eating.

"The total price of the panacea has reached 378,231,300 guinea."

"Wow!" "Wow!"

"In this condition, it seems that we can expect auction from tomorrow."

The topic of everyone's dinner is, of course, the forecast for today's winning bid and the results of tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

"Alan, will you send money to Roberto?"

Legend: "Yes. When the auction is over, I will send you a large sum. It seems that you can send it to a commercial guild, so it is better to tell this situation to some extent."

"It's a very good idea! But what should I say?"

After that, he considered the correspondence to be sent to Roberto with the help of Deputy Dalsim and leaders. The minimum fee for sending was 10,000 Guineas and it was 100 Guineas per character of the message, so we reduced the number of characters as much as possible and narrowed down our wisdom to fit in 10,000 Guineas. Of course, the money is roaring, but it can't be wasted given that it's going to be a living and reserve fund for at least 5,000 people.

"Then, 'I succeeded in defeating the dragon. Possibility of the Order. The preparation was progressing little by little. Wait for the next report.'

"I'm sure everyone will be surprised." "Your face will make Robert happy."

I was tired today and decided to take a break early. The tomorrow's auction will start at 9am, and the items to be dealt with will be dragon meat and scales.

The next morning, when I headed for the commercial guild just before 9 o'clock, the situation was the same as yesterday. It is time to move to the auction site. The plan is to have dragon meat in the morning and scales in the afternoon. I was relieved to say hello today.

"Now we're going to start selling the dragon meat.

When Carina said so, the guild members came all the way in. He began to line up the tables, and began to line up platters with dragon meat one after another. It seems this was the one that smelled good. According to the literature, the meat of the dragon, including its internal organs, was thoroughly edible and delicious. Among them, peach meat seems to be exquisite.

"I prepared grilled meat for tasting. Seasoning is only salt and pepper. Since each part is arranged, please try one plate at a time. Eh, of course, one meat per person Please cut it out. ''

"Oh!"

I thought I wouldn't pay for something I couldn't understand at all, and this tasting was what I suggested to Karina at the meeting. That meat will not be for sale, but the tasting will certainly help. Immediately, the merchants are lined up and tasting in order.

"What! The taste of this meat !?" "It seems like it melts in your mouth!" "What a delicious meat like this in the world ..."

The reputation seems quite good.

"Then, the meat auction will be done with this wooden box full of meat as one box. The same will not change for any part. As announced, the maximum number of successful bids in one firm is 5 times. , Five, two. "

Carina points to a box that is likely to hold one hundred kilos of meat. Indeed, it should be easy to understand.

"Then, dragon thigh meat, ten boxes. Please bid for one box."

It is bid one after another in the same way as yesterday, and the price increases.

… “Thiril Shokai, 30,000 Guineas!” “Barras Shokai, 325,000 Guineas” “Karlell Shokai, 35,000 Guineas”

"Syrus Shokai, 50,000 Guineas"

When Arista bid, the bid stopped, as seen yesterday.

"Then, the dragon's thigh meat, 10 boxes. It's a successful bid for 500,000 Guineas."

After that, Arista left the venue four times in the same way. One hundred thousand Guineas a kilo? Not as bad as you thought, but not bad. Anyway there are tens of tons.

According to Carina, she seems to be preparing a large amount of ice to transport to other towns and transporting it all night, which makes transport costs very expensive. He said that he could not expect too much money.

The auctions continued one after another, and all auctions ended at noon. The total amount of the auction is 1,988,885,500 Guineas.

"Alan-sama, the total price of the successful bid is now 1,988,850,000 Guineas. The price of raw ones did not increase much."

"No, it's more than expected.

After lunch, the auction of dragon scales began in the afternoon.

Ichiroku "Then, we'll start a dragon scale auction. As announced, we've assembled a set of large and small scales that's the perfect size for making armor. This is that [Saint's armor] It was determined based on the literature used to create the

"Oh! Is it the same as that armor!" "Can you make the same thing as that armor ..."

At first I thought about how to make armor with scales, but Karina explained that armor made with dragon scales can prevent some magic attacks. That's why it sells well.

"Now, it's a set necessary for making dragon scales and armor."

It is bid one after another and the price rises. However, the price rise is different from before.

… “Gerluff & Co., 550,000 Guineas!” “Getz, 570,000 Guineas” “Hans Co., Ltd., 6 million Guineas” “Hermann, Co., 600 million Guineas”

"Cyrus firm, Guinea 8 million"

When Arista bid, there was a thrill. The material for making unprocessed armor is 8 million Guineas. As usual, the auction continued, with the Cyrus firm winning four times.

At the end of the year, the winning bid totaled 465,543,000 Guineas. That's a satisfactory amount. After all, the value of blood and scale seems to be outstanding among dragon materials. I decided to say hello to Carina and go home.

"Oh, so I can't come tomorrow because I have a business tomorrow. I'll have a substitute present."

"I see ... I'm sorry. Please leave the auction to us."

"Thank you"

I went back home with good mood with everyone.

"Alan, tomorrow, is there a need?"

"Is it going to be a banquet tomorrow night? I'm going to help cooking after a long absence."

"Well, it's wonderful! You can eat Alan's food!"

"I just help cook. Everyone should watch the auction. I'll be preparing a lot from morning."

When we announced today's bid price at dinner, we were surprised again.

"Alan, what will you make tomorrow?"

Clelia seems to be worried about tomorrow's menu. Certainly, I've been cooking for a long time, but the chef Rotal's food is also delicious, and it's not much different from what I cooked.

"Is there any request?"

"Okay? Then, Karaage and hamburger, oh, tonkatsu are good too!"

"I would like a potato salad."

"OK. Sharon and Serena?"

"Potato salad should have plenty of boiled eggs in it."

"Okay, I didn't help because I couldn't decide on a menu. Well, depending on the ingredients you get, let's go luxuriously like a banquet."

When you hear it, everyone cheers. If you're looking forward to this, you have to be yelled.

The next morning, we headed out to purchase in the morning with a chef Rotal and three cooks in a carriage. It was too early for the market to start, so first we had to buy sake.

Earlier, I bought a fine white wine and red wine in a large barrel at a firm that Carina guided me. Ale, of course, also rushed to get a reputable thing in a barrel.

Gantz was just a treasure trove of ingredients, and the market was full of various ingredients. Although I was distracted, I purchased one delicious food after another in consultation with Rotal.

After noon I go home and cook right away. We decide menus in consultation with cooks. When the menu was decided, it was a tasting party where we actually made one by one.

"This is delicious! Alan-sama, I'd like to tell you if you have such a dish!"

"Oh, sorry. But this is a banquet dish. Can't you usually take this much effort?"

"That's true. But there is such a dish! It will be very helpful."

After tasting all the dishes, we decided to set up at 16:00. Huh, it seems to be in time.

When I went to the dining room to take a break, Clelia had already returned. It looks like they were drinking tea in the cafeteria.

"Alan, today's total is 3,498,945 Guineas!"

"Oh! That's quite a number. Tell me more about it later."

"Alan-san, I just received this barrel from Cyrus Shokai. He said it was a celebration."

"Oh, this barrel !?"

This Otaru is familiar. This is what I designed for the sake.

"It may be because I told Carina that it was a banquet today."

"This sake is an example of sake. It should be a fair amount of money, but I don't want to do anything smart. Mr. Cyrus is grateful. Thank you. I wanted everyone to drink it once.

We drank tea and asked everyone about the auction today.

"Alan-sama, I saw Tarus."

Speaking of which, I was saying that there was some consultation. What?

"Let me through"

Tarusu was immediately led to the dining room. Just like the other day, there are Jonas and Quatre. I wonder if it's bad here. Maybe it's a confidential consultation.

"Hello, Tarusu. Oh, do you want to move more slowly speak location"

"No, it's fine here. Rather, it's better."

There were leaders around him, including Deputy Dalsim, who thought it was hard to talk, but it wasn't a secret story.

Tarsu sits at our table and has tea.

"Sorry, Alan-san, let me take your time."

"I don't mind at all. You said there was any consultation the other day?"

"Yes, it's actually a cattle. It's customary for merchants to learn to trade in their own home and then go to another company with whom they associate for a few years. It was extended because there was no firm… ”

"…… So that's it?"

"Alan! Would you please put me in a clan?"

"Well, what are you talking about, Cuttle. You're not a trading company? Do you want to be an adventurer?"

"No, it would be useless if I became an adventurer. I just want to help you as a merchant!"

What is that? Ah, by the way, when I came here the other day, she was listening to the story of the dragon with her eyes shining. I'm sure he's a young man, and he has a longing for those things. But we are not ordinary adventurers. Yes, I can't just understand.

"But I don't think I'll ever get into my clan?"

"No, there's a lot of things like buying food and daily necessities. I do chores anyway! Still, I think it's far better to study your life than to go to a bad company."

Do you believe so. I don't think there's anything to be gained from this clan if you're a merchant.

"... What do you think of Tarus?"

"At first, I was amazed at what was stupid, but when I came to this city, my mind changed. Now I think it's not bad."

"Is it true? Dad!"

Fuck! Is that so? Apparently, Tarlus and Jonas have some insight into what we are trying to do. Was it bad to see the training the other day? Ordinary adventurers do not practice such swords. Perhaps it's better to think that all of the clans are in the wrong shape. Well, anyway, if you think that the human being in the immediate vicinity of the lost princess will be noble, will you answer naturally?

If you're aware, you'll know that it's dangerous to be around us. Why do you know the danger?

"I am likely to be listed as a baron to a noble this time."

"Ah !? Alan-san !?"

"I know, no, we know what we are going to do?"

"I can imagine"

Hearing this, the leaders, including Deputy Dalsim, relax.

"I know, but you're going to take a car?"

"Rather, it's just because I understand. As Cattle said, you can learn things you can't learn elsewhere around you."

So that's it……. Does the danger come from knowing? But what happened?

"Since I was a child, I had taught me all of my business with Jonas. It didn't make sense to train at the Shokai. ''

"My guild rank is B. I'll definitely help!"

B rank is a big deal at this young age. Mr. Tarus is also likely to see that his clan has no merchants. As expected, she is a merchant. Certainly, opportunities such as procurement of goods will increase in the future. To be honest, we need people who can do business in the country. Not bad.

"What about Leah in Quatre?"

"Of course not."

He hasn't talked about Celia to his son ... After all Tarus can be trusted. Just in case, let's answer.

"Mr. Tarus, what are we trying to do?"

"... founded, right?"

"…… That's right"

"Oh!

"Yeah, Cattle. We're not ordinary adventurers. Well, if you hit it, it's a remnant of the Starvair kingdom."

"Starvake!? ... Lear-sama?"

"Yes, my name is Clelia Starvine."

"Well, what's your name?"

When she falls off her chair, she falls down on Celia and presses her forehead on the floor.

"Hah!"

When Tarus and Jonas see it, they cover their eyes. Although it has become a merchant merchant, such a place seems to be appropriate for years.

"Cutle, sit down."

"Yes, but Dad!"

"Sit down for good"

Quatre took a terrible seat.

"... Ah, that's what it is! Awesome ... After all it's amazing! Alan-san, no, Alan-sama, please! Please put me in a clan!"

"Mr. Tarus. Are you sure?"

"Cator has always been a strange business opportunity. It's so crazy that it's a great business opportunity. Of course, even if you lose your life in the process, you're self-sufficient. I won't hurt Alan-san. ''

"What do you think?"

I asked all the clans who had heard the story.

"... like Alan-sama."

"If I think Alain is OK,"

There seems to be no objection. I wonder what happened. Certainly, it would be very helpful if there was a full-time procurement department. Especially if it's a merchant merchant. It's also a thing that Tars and others have lost, and in the unlikely event it's safer to keep Quatre at hand.

"Well, Cattle. Do you want to join a clan?"

"Thank you! I'll definitely help!"

"Mr. Alan. Thank you for listening to my selfishness. Considering the future, it may not be enough to use only Kattle. Would you bring a young man named Willie and Peter? "

Oh, you know Willie. I'm a 14 or 5 year old boy. Maybe Peter is about the same boy. Well, one and three are the same.

"I see. I'll keep all three. I'll protect you from danger as far as I can go. But there may be a chance."

"It's enough to say that. Thank you. They are the sons of our employees. I will guarantee my identity."

"Well, that's a celebration. Fortunately, today's clan's banquet. It will start later.

"Oh, that's a very inviting invitation, but outsiders can't participate in the clan's banquet. If you don't have any problems, can you join them? "

"Of course, they are already members of the clan."

"Well, Cattle. You are already a clan, a shining star. Let's work for everyone. Let's bring your luggage tomorrow."

"... Okay, Dad. Thank you for your efforts."

Cattle bowed deeply at Tarus. We all saw Tars down to the gate. Outside the gate, Willie and a strange boy were waiting.

"Yeah, Willy!"

"It's been a long time! Alan!"

"Hello! Call me Alan! Yeah! You're surprised to hear me! You two are now in the Shining Star!"

"Oh !? Is this true, Cattle-sama ?! We are becoming Shining Stars !?"

Willie and Peter are happy to jump up. Well, it would be nice if you were happy.

"Then, Alan. Thank you for all three."

"Okay. By the way, we will leave for the Royal City the morning after tomorrow."

"Okay, so I'll get back to you tomorrow."

Tarus and Jonas left in regret.

"Okay, you three are part of our clan from today. I'll tell you that this clan is not easy."

""Yes!""

"Good response. Ah, Kenny. Would you please guide these three to an empty room? You'll have to clean a little to sleep."

"I see. Alan."

Oops, it's already 17 o'clock. The banquet starts at half past eighteen, so I'm going to help cook. I hope everyone will be pleased with the food and sake.
