Kujonin

Episode 99

In the basement of Flora's office, Riddle boiled white flowers in a pot to ward off monsters.

The smell is intense, and Riddle is wearing a mask. Riddle noticed me and gestured to go to the room above.

He rented a reception room on the first floor of the government office, and Riddle guided me.

Jeri is being told by Riddle and watching a pot fire in the basement. In the past, he seemed unlikely to do such a job, but Riddle said happily, "Now, now I'm taking the initiative in doing chores."

"So, did the matter of the earth's hero go away?"

Riddle asked a government official in the hallway for tea.

"Yes, I'm done for the first time. I'm an exterminator, so I have nothing to do in the first place."

"It's not just an extermination company. Save the area around the desert, save the lake, build toll roads in the Allies, and look anywhere in the world."

"No, no toll roads yet."

"Yes, but it was Naoki who came up with the idea and worked with the central government and the heroes of the earth. I think he was far from a trader."

"I see. Well, I just thought it would be better to do that. So what is it today?"

The main topic is not likely to be the story of the earth's hero.

"Everything is a reward for exterminating the locust hopper. Did you forget?"

It was. I didn't get it yet.

"That's right. At that time, the number of locust hoppers that had been removed was nearly 100,000, so even if you think of one copper coin, is it one thousand gold coins?"

Arrange the numbers appropriately and catch the reward. If it's too cheap, I don't know what Aisle and Bersa will say.

"Hey, is that okay?"

Riddle reacted unexpectedly.

"Exclusion of locust hoppers, establishment of extermination methods, suppression of large monsters, establishment of campsite facilities are also included, but 1000 gold coins are enough? Even if you estimate a little, 5000 gold coins are not enough.ぅ "

"5, 5,000 !? But it would be bigger than expected damage ..."

"I think it's a reasonable amount considering that damage can be reduced in the future."

I wonder if that's true?

"But at the moment there isn't much budget in this country. You have to spend money on toll roads as well, so not only knights and jewels, but also weapons, spellbooks and magic tools. I'm going to put out something that can be done here.

"That's so !?"

that? It looks like something has been overlooked now.

"Oh, the knight declines."

"Muh, right? Can you tell me why?"

"No, why wouldn't I be a part of this country if I took the crown?"

"Isn't this country buried?"

"Yes, I'm still traveling around the world."

"Okay, I understand. Let's drop the Knights. The King wanted to see Naoki at a glance."

"Well, well, please excuse me that there was no connection. Can I decide on weapons and spellbooks with employees?"

"Of course. Did you meet Margaret?"

"No, I guess it's when the employees are at the Margaret House now."

"No way, I could never imagine that the exterminator in the blue workwear I met in the basement would be so involved with the Allied Union of Russia."

"I didn't even think it would happen when I arrived at Flora."

At that time, my goal was to go to a prostitute. I can't go after all.

"How long can I stay in Flora?"

"If the ship has been repaired, I will leave when the errand is complete."

"Okay. Tell me when you decide to depart. I'll drink."

"understood"

I promise to drink before leaving the port with Riddle and go outside the government office.

On the way home, Seth and Melmo contacted me.

Seth says he has a lot of requests in the merchant guild, and Mermo has been told by the guildmaster of the adventurer's guild to come up for an exam to raise his rank. Some adventurers want to play with me.

For the time being, I met a newcomer in front of the inn and I was contacted by a drunk Isle.

The banquet has begun, so come on.

It's obvious that things are going to be awkward, but there's a letter from Alfred, so I decided to take the newcomers.

The newcomers were surprised at the largest residence in Flora. It may be because the mansion was lit up with lights such as magic stones and was beautiful. I was in a hurry and asked to clean up, so I did it.

When I opened the gate myself and entered "I'm going to disturb you!", KuroRyu, a humanized person who said, "There is an intruder," appeared with three bottles of wine and three glasses.

"Here, we're having a banquet behind the scenes."

While receiving a cup, I followed the black dragon, and a red dragon was sleeping behind the mansion.

"Sloppy guy. Well, I'm young, can't help it?"

Black Dragon says, hasn't the Red Dragon lived for hundreds of years?

"Oh, welcome, Naoki-kun. Then there are the newcomers who are being bullied by my seniors.

Margaret told me to go to the blue sky banquet hall.

Tables and chairs were lined up on the lawn, and the tables served a sumptuous meal.

"I'm not bullying. I'm telling you.

The Isle seems to be ready. I hugged me while staggering, so I took it involuntarily.

"... wow ..."

Moreover, I fell asleep. It still smells good to the aisle. I was hungry and dumped it on the grass everywhere.

"Rookie. It's a step."

""No…""

"Okay, I don't remember anyway"

I thought it would be better to clear my grudges, but the newcomers moved to the side of the Red Dragon without stepping on them. Well, an aisle will not die if it is under the red dragon.

I hand Alfred's letter to Margaret.

"This is from Alfred."

"I saw you, my brother. You look terrible, right?"

"No, he had a good face, though he wouldn't be able to cook or bake."

"Huhhhhhhhh! It's good that you can't eat it even if you boil it or bake it.

Margaret laughed out of the letter, read it, and nodded.

In the meantime, I look around the table. Seth and Melmo are listening to the story of Black Dragon while carrying the food in front of her. But there is no Bersa.

"Naoki, it's a toll road reward at the moment."

"Oh, wait a minute. Where is Belsa right now?"

"Oh, now, hey ...

Margaret pointed to a place in the mansion where Bersa and Baya, holding a large number of books, were heading for them.

"Oh, Naoki. Did you finally come?"

"What the book"

"No, I'm free on the boat anyway? When I asked if there was a good book, there was a book that looked so interesting."

Versa was the scholar's eye.

"Oh, can I get that book?"

I asked Margaret.

"Yeah, I already have eyes. Take it with you if you like."

"Thank you"

He then spoke with Margaret and Versa about toll road rewards.

He was proposed as a planner for the Toll Road in the Union of Rusínia, and was offered 3 percent of sales.

"Does sales include fines?"

"Not included"

"What about 10% of the total fine?"

"Huh, this isn't Alfred's plan?"

Margaret smiled while holding a letter. Apparently, the letter describes the plan I spoke.

"I'm sorry. I'm a joke. It's the story after the road was made. I don't know what we would do at that time."

"Yes, so I'll pay through the merchant guild."

Certainly, the merchant guild acts like a bank, so if you transfer it, you can pick it up at a different location.

"No, maybe it's dead, so I think it's better to get it now, what do you think of Versa?"

If I'm targeted by a spirit, I could die right away. Carrying cash is dangerous on a cruise trip, but there is an item bag, so I feel like there is no problem.

"You just made a plan? Well, there's negotiations. Well, there's red dragon and black dragon's meals and inconveniences, and there's also the price for the books.

Oh, right? The dragons are big eaters and the price of the book is quite expensive.

"If so, then."

"good?"

Margaret asked astonishingly.

"Yes, it's okay because my account says it."

Versa decides to make his own account.

"How was Riddle?"

Bersa asked me.

"Jewels, weapons, spellbooks, and magic tools. I have refused the knighthood."

"Why!"

Bersa suddenly says he was afraid.

"No, I don't want the title because I don't want to belong to this country?"

"You have to sell something for money!"

Yeah, can the title be sold! Oh, is it good to sell?

"Isn't it basically not selling?"

Margaret, who was listening, says:

"That's right"

"So, is my father just weird?"

Versa's father seems to have sold the title.

"Wait a minute, don't you have any cash?"

I heard as Bersa came up with.

"No, there's a reward from Marquez ..."

"It will go away on ship repairs, and you have to have some furniture."

"Is that so!?"

You can't buy food and daily necessities in preparation for a trip without cash.

"Are there jewelers in Flora?"

"I don't think. If you go to the capital city, I think there is."

Margaret will answer.

"Wait a minute. Seth! Didn't you say you're accumulating work in the merchant guild?"

Talk to Seth who was listening to the story of the Black Dragon.

"Yes, cleaning and extermination is a total of 45 cases."

"Is there so much ..."

"Because I advertised a lot in the town."

If you lay down on your book and hit your waist, you say.

"Okay, let's work and collect cash tomorrow. If it's not enough, I'll run to the capital city."

"Roger that"

"President!"

Melmo, who was listening to Seth and the story of Black Dragon, called me.

"what?"

"What do the adventurer guilds do?"

"Please leave such a thing!"

"Is that ok?"

"If it seems to be too persistent, you should go to the Isle."

"I understand"

When the talk was over, the banquet began, and the sleeping Red Dragon and Aisle arose and drank.

The next morning, I was woken up by a cat demon on the beach of Flora and got up.

I don't remember last night.

"Why am I here?"
