"What? You said you'd already finished dismantling Harpy?
The day after I finished the facade of long-standing power and dismantling the monster. That was the word I returned when I told Fron and Brasso that I had already dismantled the harpy.
"Oh. As you all know, I would have made a request for the demolition of the monster, wouldn't I? I finished that yesterday, and then I dismantled Harpy."
"... no, that's... oh, that's okay because I didn't specify which monster to dismantle or anything"
I guess Fron tilted his neck somewhat or still eventually remembered the contents of Ray's requisition. Nod as small as you were convinced.
"Well, for that matter, I was out dismantling a monster pretty late yesterday. I was pretty busy at the end of the day because the sun was setting faster."
Ray whining in sigh.
By the time yesterday's request was completed, the sun was already setting. Outside the city at night, monsters naturally became a bouncing world. Especially in the face of the long-standing power of repairing most of the weapons and armor, monsters were demolished insanely in death as they watched the sun fall.
"You're fine... no, in a way, that's Ray"
He was a fron whining like a shudder, but he regained his mind and called out to Ray.
"Well, then, as far as Harpy's material is concerned, as promised,"
"Uhm. Ray 2 demon stones. Everything else was sold in guilds, and you said you had more Demon Stones."
"I don't mind if I do. So, you want to go fast?
I nodded at Ray's words and the line tried to get to the guild quickly...
"The clouds are dubious."
Ray leaves the inn, squeaking as he looks up into the sky.
The sky is covered in more and more clouds, and whenever it rains, it's not strange.
"Well, it just didn't rain yesterday when I was dismantling"
"Hmm, it's probably best to be slow in a tavern at a time like this. I was so tired yesterday that I couldn't drink it slowly."
"Don't lie, lie. I've been sitting in a tavern for a long time."
Ray was already on his way to the stables to pick up Seto, as usual, with the two of us having such an exchange.
"Yes, Seto. Eat this."
A 5-year-old boy holds a sandwich in his hand and offers it to Seto.
"Grrrrrrrr"
Already used to watching the usual sights, Ray also pounds his tongue at the skewer that he bought at the outhouse.
"Ray, look. How about this? Kelpy Skewers"
"Kelpy?
The skewer's master speaks to Ray watching Seto playing with the children, but it was Brasso, not Ray, who reacted to it.
"When it comes to kelpy, it would be a rank C monster. You got it well."
Next to such a brasso, this one also raises his voice as Fron was surprised to see Seto again.
"It was a little expensive, though. Look, right now there's gonna be a merchant squad in this city of Gilm headed by Mr. Vetman, right? They're starting to get what they had."
"... ah"
To the words of the skewer, Ray remembers the well-deserved merchant we met at the wheat pavilion at dusk.
(With that said, I wonder what happened to the adventurers that they had secured? I think the Azot Chamber of Commerce has been released because it has settled.... Well, you deserve it in the sense that the restraint is somewhat prolonged. Why should I care?)
Ray whining so inside, in fact, the adventurers that the Vetmans had already captured had been taken by knights who had come to the Inn yesterday, and now, no matter how many requests they made, they were in the Inn...... or, to be precise, they were captured for assaulting a stables in the Inn. Most importantly, Galahat, who is currently the meeting of the Azot Chamber of Commerce, has gradually increased his battle power by paying bail as all of those crimes were ordered by Bornter.
In any case, the Azot Chamber of Commerce exports monster materials unique to the borders of various cities, villages, or cities, as well as weapons made from them. Until now, however, the bad reputation has not been so easy to manage, and it has required a force that can be used as an escort.
Even Dusker, lord of the city of Gilm, had freed the adventurers on bail to reduce the tax revenues they could pay if Azot Chamber of Commerce sales dropped.
Besides, the next time I sinned, I said that I would have the punishment.
"Even so, I didn't know we were going to market a rank C monster Kelpie... a merchant company with a lot of skill sets."
This one also whines satisfactorily as he carries Kelpy's skewer to his mouth.
Soft enough to bite without having to put almost any effort into your jaw. However, when chewed up, it tastes firmly like meat, and the salt dale used for gravy and flavoring exquisite flavors are brewed in the mouth. And in the next moment, only its flavour is left in the mouth, and the meat itself disappears as if it were a summer.
"Kuh, yummy. Store owner, two more... no, give me five."
"Uh, I'm sorry. No matter how much Kelpie meat there is, there aren't as many of them. I'm sorry, but put up with each and every one of us."
"... Mmm, right. Should I receive Kelpy's crusade mission in the near future if this happens..."
It was Brasso squeaking so unexpectedly at the word one at a time, but at the next moment Fron's fist swings down to the back of his head.
"Gu!?
"Don't be too stupid. I'm not gonna take that dangerous crusade request just for your sake dishes."
"... you really can't? Fron, why don't you try this?"
"Shut up. Don't make me say the same thing again and again, not at all. Look, don't just eat Ray and Seto, either. Let's go. You're gonna sell Harpy material in the guild, aren't you?
Fron tells Brasso as he pulls. And as he watched, Ray and Seth also said no to those around them, and followed the scene.
... of course, after I bought some skewers and sandwiches.
"Is that it? I sold so much material and demon stones yesterday. Is there anything else I can do for your guild today? Oh, maybe looking for a favor?
That's how Lenora speaks to the Rays who came into the guild.
In any case, the amount of material obtained from yesterday's demolition was enormous, and the unavailable Alliance staff hand-in-hand assessed it.
Of course, there's no reason for Cullot or Scola or any other member of the long-standing force to go along with it, but Ray alone just left when he received his reward.
"You don't have a fun and lucrative job."
Cullot's tired words oddly impressed Ray.
"No, we're still selling the material today."
"... Huh!? No, because yesterday..."
Lenora brings a clear look to Ray's words. Next to it, even Ray's Kenny has a startling look on his face.
Ray accidentally smiles bitterly at how two people are so familiar.
"What I brought in today is harpy material. Look, of the requests I made with these two."
That's what I said, Ray looking at Fron and Brasso who were behind me.
Those two are two people, and they're just gazing at Ray for how much material they've brought in.
... Still, it turns out that Scola's book in her possession was more correct about Watermonkey's eyeballs in disagreement with Scola and Ray. To be precise, until almost 10 years ago, I did buy water monkey eyeballs as a material, but now it is precisely the material that the alchemists no longer use because of the discovery of a more effective and inexpensive catalyst with similar properties. Or in the countryside - not on the periphery - where there was not enough material, some might have used it, but at least not in the city of Gilm already used it, with the result that the price of the eyeballs and the cases in which they were stored was almost entirely lost because there were no contractors for transport.
That's what happened because the book Ray has is old, but I just have no one to blame for this matter, so I have to exhale and give up. Still, the Alliance bought me a large amount of material, so I received a sum that I didn't mind spending in the end.
"So don't worry. Not so much material per se."
Whimpering, right ear, which is the proven site of Harpy's crusade from Mystering, toenails, tail feathers, which are stripped material. And take away the demon stone.
Of course, I have already removed the two Demon Stones as part of the Rays' commitment.
"Certainly not that many. We can appraise this right away, so please wait."
That's what Lenora says and quickly and just takes the right ear of the crusade proof site.
"Kenny, crusade proof site, please"
"Okay. Ray, it's for you, so we have to work hard."
"... because you're like that, I can't entrust you with the material appraisal. Even yesterday I'll be appraising you for sweetness."
"Hahaha. So, but look. It wasn't that bad overall about the condition of the material, was it?
To Kenny, who smiles somewhere deluded, Lenora exhales before returning to the appraisal of the material.
"This is... oh, did you ask all of yesterday's long-standing powers? Matches the characteristics of how the material is stripped"
"Yeah, but I got it at the request of Brasso and the others regarding this Harpy material. You can't imitate it on your own, can you?
"Right. Don't worry about that area. You sometimes hear stories about selling materials to guilds and stores on your own and rubbing them later because of that. Sometimes the party breaks up because of it?... hey, and you did yesterday, but you're peeling off the material in pretty good condition. Especially the harpy tail feathers. If you use it for arrow feathers, you're going to have a pretty high-performance arrow. Of course, you'll need the right materials for other parts."
Lenora nods as impressed and carefully wraps her harpy tail feathers. And the next thing I took out was my toenails.
"... I heard those toenails will also be made of material, how will they be used? Alchemist use it?
"There's that, and there's a way of wearing it on the surface of the armor. It feels like offensive armor like hitting or catching on enemies or something. If there's anything else you can embed at the end of the stick. It's a pretty user-friendly material."
The next thing Lenora took in her hands, telling her how well she was in a good mood, was the last remaining demon stone.
"There are no chips or scratches in this one... it's a quality demon stone"
As for the demon stone, I just checked the exterior lightly and finished, and once I took the material I pulled it into the back of the counter.
"Wait a minute, please. What about you, Kenny?
"We're ready. Yes, this is for the crusade proof site."
I guess I already had it ready. Inside the counter were several silver coins.
Having confirmed that, Lenora nodded small, leaving the Rays' opponents to Kenny to proceed with the process.
Of course, as Kenny, I don't particularly complain because this is my chance to talk to Ray... No, I rather smile and talk to Ray.
"With that said, did you hear about the Azot Chamber of Commerce?
The topic that came out of Kenny's mouth is, in a way, the one that currently attracts the most attention in the city of Gilm.
"Uh, mostly. You must have changed your mind, huh?
There is no reason to talk in more detail than you are receiving a stopping fee, so we will talk together to deceive you.
"Yes, yes. A merchant who's registered to the Alliance for anything says it's ventilated a lot better than ever."
"... a merchant enrolled in the guild?
Unexpectedly tilting his neck at the words that came out of Kenny's mouth, Ray.
Kenny nods with a grin on the surface, even as he cheers inside about how Ray looks like that.
"Did you know that? Few of the merchants are going to defeat monsters themselves, gather material, and build weapons. And you can use that weapon and sell it to yourself."
"I see."
(I do get my own material, build weapons and protective gear, and if I'm going to sell it, I can save money on buying the material I pay the adventurer or something.... but on the contrary, that would mean doing three roles alone: Adventurer, Blacksmith, and Weapon Shop... is that possible? No, well, I guess it's possible that there are adventurers who actually do that)
Kenny continues the conversation with a grin even while Ray thinks that inside.
"I don't know much about what happened, but it's good for the city of Gilm, isn't it? Oh, yeah, yeah. Why don't you show your face to that merchant's shop with me when you're done with your work today? Ray, I think I'll learn a lot for you too.... Ouch!
A hand reaches out from behind Kenny, who was inviting Ray, and pulls that cat ear.
Naturally, the person who executed it was Lenora, who could be said to be Kenny's counterpart.
"Totally, because this is it as soon as you take your eyes off it. Weigh yourself a little.... No, in this case, should I tell you to mock yourself?"
Pronunciation is the same, but I guess I understood what they said to words with different meanings. Kenny swells his cheeks to protest.
"Hey, that's not terrible!?
"Thank you for waiting. This will be the amount of the purchase."
Lenora coming through Kenny like that and handing me the buyout fee.
Speaking of the usual sights, Ray still laughed bitterly at the usual sights and received the price.
By the way, I went back to the Inn that day and quickly let Seto absorb Harpy's Demon Stone or slash it with Death Size, but two Demon Stones were wasted because there was no absorption of skills.
