The next morning, I was woken up by Balzac while I was sleeping in Camilla's bed.

"Good morning. Was it here?"

"Yeah, bad. I slept. I made recovery medicine until morning, so it's there."

"Thank you. I'll make tea."

Balzac went to the back well to draw water.

The morning sun that comes in through the window is soft and calm. I feel like I'm back home.

After contacting employees with a communication bag, Ayr and Mermo reportedly had a hangover.

Bertha is currently being employed by a guard. What have you done since morning?

Seth doesn't know anything, but she heard a woman's voice from behind, so she might be a prostitute. Why didn't you call me? Above all, is Seth getting paid from me! ? I'm not convinced.

Gather information while working today. Everyone can do business and work, so don't rely on me unless it's an unexpected situation. They say they will stay for a couple of days, so we should get together tomorrow.

"here you go"

While listening to the employees, Balzac brewed hot tea.

"Oh, thank you, calm down ..."

After drinking tea for a while, I was reminded of the fact that I sometimes reported to Balzac.

"I love Camilla. I love this place."

"To Naoki?"

"Oh, it seems like I'm back home and I can't come back here."

"I see ..."

"Well, however, I still have a request. I can't stay in Couvenir and have a drugstore.

"Are you a drugstore?"

"I don't have to be a drugstore, but Balzac, do something with this store?"

"I also work as a grave guard. Oh ... but can you do it for a secondhand shop?"

Balzac then drank tea.

"A clothing store? Why?"

"When you enter the forest to defeat monsters, you'll often find things left behind or left behind by adventurers and peddlers. They're piled up behind the huts, because their slave life was long. It was a waste to throw it away. I was hoping to wash it and repair it, and hope that one day it would be useful for people again, but now it is. "

"I see."

"No, but there's no storekeeper, so it's a dream that my grandfather cannot fulfill. Hahaha."

"No, not good? Even if the tombkeeper comes here to play an antique shop when he's free, it's a profit if it's sold."

With that said, I was drinking tea and the doors of the store opened.

"welcome!"

I remembered the old storekeeper and raised my voice.

When she came to the store, she saw a young goat beast and an aunt holding a club.

"A robber? There's no money here right now."

"Who are you !?"

Aunt said to me terribly.

"Who is the one who lived here before ..."

"Oh! Hey! Naoki, the hardware store next door here."

With that said, when Balzac came out from behind me, the young man and the aunt lowered the clubs, reassuring them.

"This is Naoki, my former husband."

Balzac introduced me to the hardware shop parent and child.

"Oh! That's ok. Well, the door was open, so if you thought that Camilla came back, you'd hear the voice of a man, so I thought she was a burglary. It's been. "

The beastman explained with a laugh. Balzac seems to be familiar.

They thought they were robbers.

"Hahaha, Naoki was stronger than me, so I was about to fly my neck if I was attacking."

When Balzac told the beast man, he was looking at me as a scare.

"I don't do that. By the way, I'm thinking of making this shop a secondhand shop, aren't there any good carpenters?

"If you're a carpenter, I think your acquaintance will do it. If you're an employee, you might want to ask an adventurer's guild."

The beastman aunt said.

"No, the adventurer will come if you ask the adventurer's guild."

"That's not it, Naoki-san. Some people want to quit the adventurer."

"Oh, I see"

As I continue to travel, I thought adventurers don't have to quit all at once, but some people may want to bring their own shop and start over as a merchant.

"Then, Balzac just introduced me to a carpenter and told her the image of a secondhand shop.

"Anaoki, you don't have to be very recruiting. As Irene said yesterday, there are fewer adventurers in this Covenia ..."

"Oh, I see"

It seems we have to make a difficult recruitment.

"What precedes it ..."

Balzac took off his hood and scratched his head.

If you keep your grave and defeat many monsters, you'll probably have a lot of money.

"Balzac! What did you use the money for?"

"I'm old and it's short. I don't have overnight money."

"I guess you didn't go to Bakuchi!"

"I haven't put it out there!"

"Hah, sake and a woman ... absolutely."

When I slapped my forehead, Balzac beside me was also beating my forehead, saying, "I'm not looking." If the people who have money do not use the money, will the economy of the town turn?

"Well, no. I will sell recovery medicine in the adventurer's guild and make money, so please go ahead and talk."

"OK!"

Balzac responded with his thumb up, just as he did when he was a slave. He left the former elf drugstore, thinking he didn't do anything to Frank.

The Adventurer Guild feels there are fewer adventurers than when I was in this town. Looking at the bulletin board with the request form, the number of request forms is small.

I sold six healing pills to the tool store, and then headed to the counter where Irene was. Early in the morning, Irene seemed sleepy, but looking at me, she looked serious.

"Do you need anything?"

When I'm in the adventurer's guild, Irene and I are just officials and adventurers. If you think you're on a date, you may be seen with a disgusting eye around you. I'll match that too.

"No, I'm actually receiving Camilla's' Elven Drugstore. Balzac wants to do a secondhand shop."

"Are you a second-hand shop? Oh, you said you'd fix the weapons and armor you picked up. But what about the grave guard?"

"I'm hoping that the secondhand shop should be a side job while continuing to keep the grave, but I guess it would be helpful if there was an employee alone, so I'd like to submit a request form, is it okay?"

"Are you an adventurer guild?"

"Yes.

Irene sighed and began to think on her cheek.

"……why?"

Irene, who was thinking, suddenly asked me a question, but I don't understand the meaning of the question.

"No, I just want to support what Balzac is trying to do. What?"

"Mr. Naoki returned to Couvenia yesterday, right?"

"that's right"

"The timing is too good ..."

I don't know what I mean, can I write a request and put it on a bulletin board?

"Mr. Naoki, could you talk to the guild manager for a moment?"

"Why? I don't think it's like talking to great people ..."

"You came from the royal capital, aren't you told by any guild adventurer guild?"

"I haven't. I'll show my adventurer card to the guild leader ..."

"I haven't done that. I'm just going to think I've forged it.

Irene guided me back in a strange manner.

"What are you angry about? I apologize."

"Naoki doesn't do anything. Don't apologize. I'm just lucky and just enviable."

"Luck is a lot worse. If you were lucky, wouldn't you have met Eileen?"

I was anxious, but Irene was unresponsive. Irene at work is solid, a big difference from last night's little Irene. Is this real?

"Guild chief is here!"

Irene knocked on the door and opened it without asking.

"Irene. What's wrong?"

Behind the large desk was a reptile-type animal. His voice is low and dignified. Guild Guild's Chief, White Snake, was introduced.

"This is Naoki Komuro, an adventurer whom I trust.

Irene briefly introduced me.

"Speaking of Mr. Balzac's ex-master ... yes.

Guild Chief White told me to sit on the sofa in front of the desk.

"Would you please tell Naoki what the guild manager was saying this morning? Maybe you can help him. No, it would be better to get Naoki's request first."

Is order important?

"Irene, I don't want to be in trouble."

I complained to Irene while sitting on the sofa.

"No, it's related to Naoki's request ... please."

Irene hand urged me to "talk to the guildmaster."

"Thank you very much for taking care of my former slave, Balzac."

"No, it has helped me here."

White sat on the sofa in front of me and thanked.

"Actually, I was entrusted with a shop by Camilla, the master of Elven's Drugstore. I am still on a journey, so I asked Balzac if he had anything to do, and he said," I want to do a secondhand shop. " I don't want to recruit employees because Balzac has a job called "grave guard" because there is no waste or lost items of adventurers and merchants found in the forest etc. That's why I came to the adventurer's guild. ''

While listening to me, White responded open-mindedly to the word "secondhand shop."

"I see why Irene brought you. I'm sorry, Irene. Can you get some tea?"

"Understood"

Irene left the guildmaster's room. In the room I and the guild chief alone. Is it a secret story?

"Does Naoki know the current state of the Adventurer's Guild in Covenia?"

"I have heard from Irene that adventurers are decreasing."

"That's right. Highly ranked adventurers are no longer approaching. So, from the central and royal cities, there are various requests such as a small number of requests and a poor collection rate of rewards. We thought about having an experienced instructor come to the instructor, but we couldn't afford it, because an experienced adventurer would earn his own money. There is no need to cooperate with the guild. ''

"I understand"

White is easy to understand because he will explain this reaction while hesitating.

"And in other towns, things like Couvenir are happening, and they've got skilled adventurers first, so, well, what we're not doing in other adventurer guilds in Couvenir I thought I'd do it. ''

"what is it?"

I leaned back a little and listened to White.

"It's a rebirth of the adventurer. The adventurer makes a variety of requests, so it's like" anything shop ". It's easy to crush. If you want to change jobs, you can do it easily. There is a problem there. There are many adventurers perched on whether they want to be an adventurer anyway, and there are only adventurers who do not accept requests from guilds. On the other hand, there are those who quit adventurers, but still want to return to adventurers because they can't find the thrills and passions they had in the adventurer era at their job changers. I'm thinking. "

"I see"

"I told it to all the staff in this morning's morning service, and Naoki came immediately. When the former adventurers returned, they saw a broken sword and armor at an antique shop and said," Let the adventurer quit. " I guess it's up to you to think that you have only this one, but if you have a place like that in the first place, it's very helpful here. Would you please? "

White didn't say it was an adventurer's relic, but in essence, he would like to let the adventurer decide again whether to show the `` end of the journey '' or to live solidly in the town .

"It's about providing a place to think for a moment about your future."

"Yes, I really want the adventurer's guild to be such a place, but there is also work for adventurers who do serious requests. You can try to get them to work and decide if you're an adventurer. To be honest, I just started looking for a place like that ... "

That I came in a timely manner. Indeed, I understood the reason for Irene's response at the counter.

"Okay, that's okay. I'm not worried because Balzac is the owner of a secondhand store. I'll tell Balzac about my employees."

"Thank you for doing so. Thank you in the future."

Seen by White, I left the room.

He told Eileen, who was preparing tea in the hot water supply room, "I'm going to date tomorrow," and then left the adventurer's guild.

I was a quick invitation, but Irene replied, "I'm OK because I'm going to rest anyway." You don't have to.
