Let's Manage The Tower

The aides on the Merchant Schmidt's carriage were moving towards Lüssen.

Fortunately, there was no damage to the carriage or the horse itself, and it would take about two hours to arrive without another raid.

In addition to Schmidt and the three samurai, Gozen, the leader of the convoy, was on board the carriage.

"Well, thank you again for your help. As I asked you earlier, there are some circumstances, but there is no particular problem with the purchase itself. Are you sure you want to do the rest?

"Yes, I don't need the money... but I need to ask you something, so can you answer it? In short, I want information."

"Information...?

I felt that Schmidt's eyes were shining (of course because of the thought of the study aid), but the study aid replied as it was.

"Yes, the truth is, we were in the Gazenrun Tower until a few days ago."

This is the knowledge that Ellis taught me when Kaiseki spent time in the [Garden of Eternal Spring].

I can't honestly say that I moved from another world, so it was the answer when I was asked if I could make an excuse for my sudden appearance.

I don't intend to take any action that would make my head suspicious.

Incidentally, they haven't told us what the Gazenrun Tower is like.

I asked once, but eventually she smiled and told me to go and check it out herself.

Gozen reacted when he heard about Kaiseki.

"... a metastasis trap?

"Yeah... I guess so. When I noticed, they were flying me.... so I predicted with the monster coming out, is this Central for sure?

Schmidt and Gozen nod to the question.

"Still...?... so, you know, if you've been wandering around for a few days and you've managed to find something like a street, you've seen where you're being attacked."

"Is that what this is about..."

Schmidt nodded loudly.

Seeing that, Kaiseki relieved herself.

It was discussed and decided by the three of us before we went out on the street. I can't help lying because I can't tell the truth.

"Does that mean that the information you want is a quote for materials or something?"

And also the currencies that are used.

"That's right. I understand."

Then Schmidt told me about currencies and other principally material prices.

Though Kaiseki thought it was good that he didn't have to go into Gazenrun, perhaps there aren't many things to pry into people's past.

Schmidt's a tough guy.

Gozen told me about the materials from the monsters around here.

And in a way, that's probably the most important thing. It is a way of earning money.

The answer came back easily.

Lüssen has a publicly run guild, so he can sign up for work there.

I decided to transfer it from the tower, so I decided to lose my ID card at that time. It was explained that the use of public guilds was no different from that of other continents.

In fact, the students are not registered in any continent, so I don't know how to use it, but the area is cloudy.

Either way, if we don't go to the guild, we won't get an ID, so I thought we should ask at that time.

"With Mitsuki's strength, we can make money without any problems."

What is a Gozen valve? Schmidt nodded loudly when he heard that.

Incidentally, in this world, the Alliance is not just one big organization in the world. On the contrary, he's upset.

Why is that happening?

In this world, those who undertake to exterminate monsters are called adventurers.

Basically, six adventurers are basically a party.

Of course, some people are solo or partying with fewer than six people.

If you have more people, act as an Alliance.

A small guild operates from a public guild, contracting work on a party-by-party basis or selling materials directly to merchants and craftsmen.

When you become a big guild, you take on a direct job request and wave it to your members.

Most adventurers will belong to (or create) some sort of guild, but most will use a public guild as a precursor.

In a sense, a public guild is an institution that raises eggs for adventurers.

Naturally, the number of adventurers relative to monsters determines the fate of the town in a sense.

"Now, may I see the material that you can provide?

As soon as the topic went to the Central Continental cuisine, Schmidt returned to the original topic.

Even though it was a chat, it was a valuable raw information for the Kaiseki who had just come to this world, but the Kaiseki who had just enthusiastically listened to it became such an expression.

Kouchi and Mitsuki realized that the story was grand, but basically, they hardly talk about studying. That said, I don't only do what I'm told.

Schmidt asked me to show him the material, and he urged me to look at Kouchi and give him the material.

A fur appeared in Kouchi's right hand after he gestured to reach into the space and retrieve something from some container.

Schmidt and Gozen were surprised to see it in a double sense.

"What!? Magic in the Item Box!

"Besides, that fur is blackbearer's!?

In fact, Kouchi used an advanced category in the item box, but even if he looked at it nearby, he couldn't tell it apart.

It may not even be known that there are stages in the magic of the item box in the first place.

"... uh. Is that so unusual?

Schmidt and Gozen had a delicate look at the puzzled study aid.

"... I see. It's not that I don't see either at all, but it's certainly unusual."

"When it comes to item boxes, it's magical enough for merchants to get their hands out of their throats. And the Blackbearer Crusade is a testament to Central Adventurers."

When I heard that, I thought I had failed for a moment, but I couldn't help it. As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't seem so unusual.

As long as we act together, Kouhi and Mitsuki will stand out. I switched my head so that it would be acceptable.

I see. Well, when it comes to magic, it's very convenient. As for blackbears, they were just the ones we met suddenly, so we just saved the fur for now. "

"... I see."

It was Gozen who hit him, and Schmidt was just appraising the black-bearing fur handed over by Kouchi.

While waiting for the appraisal, Kaiseki asked Gozen what he was worried about.

"Does defeating Blackbearer prove to adventurers to be top notch?

"Yeah, that's what happens in this central. It is known that the black bear itself is not such a strong monster, but in Central, the inland part of the continent is where the black bear comes from. It's hard to get there first."

"I see. Is that so? I knew the fur would be traded at a high price, so I just happened to keep the fur..."

Schmidt, who heard that, stopped the appraisal on the way and looked a little sad.

"Does that mean you've disposed of anything but fur?

"... unfortunately..."

"Really, I'm sorry. The contents of black bears are also very valuable as a drug material."

Gozen's face is unbearable.

"I see. Well... I didn't know if I could take all the materials home in that situation, so I can't help it."

"Well, I suppose that's your situation."

Is that what this is all about?... anyway, it's our fur, but it's fine as a material. Well... how about two big gold coins?

I was surprised to hear that.

A large gold coin costs 1 million cents (1 cents is roughly 1 yen), making 2 million cents per fur.

In addition, it was the case that the assistant student didn't know the value in the first place, but he was surprised at nothing.

"Hey, Mr. Schmidt, are you serious!?

"Yeah, I mean it.... Blackbear fur can also be used as a protective material for adventurers, but it is also popular as a coat for noble ladies.

The fur is very bulky in the first place, so most adventurers bring it in small or scratched. But this fur is perfectly sized and in perfect condition.

To be clear, there will be plenty of customers who want more gold. "

Well, I see.

While listening to such an explanation, Kaiseki had an inner mind.

As a matter of fact, Blackbear wasn't the only one who attacked. There are ten of them. The fur is divided into items boxes of Kouchi and Mitsuki.

If you sell all of them, you'll get 20 million cents for all of them at the same price.

I didn't originally intend to give it all out, but just one piece is enough money.

I didn't mean to stand out very badly, but the first one stands out enough.

"... oh? Kaosuke-san, what's wrong?

Schmidt asked with a smile whether he had spotted such a conflict or whether his sense of smell as a merchant had worked.

The examiner who saw it was angry.

"Well, actually... fur, that's not all."

"... what?

Schmidt hardened with a smile.

"Ah, Kouhi, let me show you everything."

"Yes, sir."

Kouchi removed all of the black-bearing fur from the item box as instructed by the examiner. Mitsuki, who is not instructed naturally, does not move and does not say anything extra.

Schmidt, who was given four more furs, hastily started checking.

Gozen looked at the examiners sideways and said, astonished.

"Ah, Kaosuke-san. Am I supposed to be jealous? Or should I be surprised?

In terms of mood, both of them could be anywhere.

"... well, if I may say so, I can't fight myself at all..."

"That's obvious when you see someone with a certain level of skill."

"... right?"

"Well, if they find out, there's no doubt that Kouhi and Mitsuki will be killed by an Alliance scout."

"... that's right..."

Kaosuke and Gozen sat together and looked at Kouhi and Mitsuki.

"I can't get instructions from anyone other than the Lord."

"That's right. Our master is only Kaiseki, right?"

Gozen, who saw the two of them talking clearly, slapped Kaiseki on the shoulder.

"... well, good luck at best."

"Ha ha ha ha..."

Inspired examiners had no choice but to have a dry laugh.
