Let's Manage The Tower

(5) Start of village development

One week after the transfer gate from Lüssen was opened.

The "Amamiya Hall", the base of Lüssen, has been visited by more people than ever before.

Until today, I have only used this building in about ten pairs a day.

This is also because the Lüssen activists, Warhid, only spoke to people they knew in the adventure.

In the first place, the usage fee for using the transfer gate is set to be higher.

Still, I wanted to narrow it down to those who rented the building on the fifth floor and assumed that they would be working in the tower from the beginning.

The result is the current situation.

Yesterday, some of the people working in the village of Ta took home a variety of materials, including medicinal herbs, which could be sold at high prices.

Those monsters themselves could hunt with some rank of adventurers, but since harvesting was rare around Lüssen, they were dealt with at a fairly high price.

The rumor ran around among the adventurers overnight.

As a result, the area around Amamiya's museum was full of adventurers.

Inside, I tried to enter the museum first, and came out with something to interrupt, and it was about to get confused.

At that time.

A woman, Sarasa, came out of the building and called out to the surroundings.

"Let me ask you something. As you can see, many of you are using the gate today. Unfortunately, this is a system that takes a lot of time, so please understand that it will take a lot of time for everyone here to finish using it."

The explanation rang from among the adventurers, "Don't joke, hurry up," etc.

"If you have a complaint, you don't have to use it!"

The yelling was silent.

"So please wait in line. Incidentally, if you are sideways or violent, we will also prohibit you from using it."

On the advice, the adventurers made a row.

"Thank you very much. This is your advice, but if you're not ready for camp, it's a good idea to have it ready. There's nothing left for me to see when I can go on a day trip."

According to the words, about half of the adventurers who came here returned to Lüssen.

Those left behind were to use it quietly and sequentially.

Someone was watching the situation from the windows on the second floor of the building.

It's Warhide.

"... totally... I wonder what it's like to be an adventurer and not even prepare for camp."

And when he heard the word of Warhid, there was a man laughing bitterly.

"Some of the rumors that have been going around since yesterday are that you can get a treasure as soon as you enter the tower."

"I see... well, such rumors will soon calm down."

On the fifth floor of everything, monsters that drop expensive materials, such as medicinal herbs, don't come out that way.

I see...

It is Schmidt, the merchant, who nods to the words of Warhid.

Schmidt was called here by Warhid for a purpose.

It was invited by the tower village (planned) to open a shop.

By the way, Warhid doesn't know Schmidt was the first merchant to take care of Kaiseki when he came to the world.

Schmidt certainly didn't think that there was a connection between Warhid and Kaiseki.

As a good peddler, I heard from several Lüssen merchants and got in touch with Warhid.

"So the fact that you came all this way means that you considered the previous story?

"... yeah. A boulder gave me that kind of result... You can't overlook it as a merchant, can you?

Schmidt smiled bitterly and said so, and Warhid smiled.

"Well, I guess so.... So, are you sure the terms are the same as we talked about earlier?

"Yes, of course. Instead, as I said before, I'd like to ask you if this is really a good idea."

Warhid's offer to open Schmidt's shop in the village (planned) was quite disregarded.

Rather, it made Schmidt more suspicious.

"Of course. I would like to say that I should go over there right away... but this is how it feels now, so can you come back later?

"I see. Well, that's better."

Schmidt nodded and agreed.

That evening, when chaos finally subsided, Warhid took Schmidt to the village (planned).

"Oh, Schmidt. What kind of peddler came to this place?

Schmidt, who visited the village (planned), had an adventurer to speak with.

"Oh, is that Zasan? Are you here to hunt?

"Wow. I heard you can rent a base in the tower. I borrowed it for a try. It wasn't a price I couldn't afford."

"I see. So? What about the results?

In Schmidt's words, the man called Zasan smiled.

"Didn't you hear the rumors too?

"Well, that's right. I want to know as accurately as I can as I plan to open a store here."

"... oh, my God. Do you have a shop here?

That's what I'm going to do.

"I see. If that's the case, please take a look. Don't bother walking through the gates. If you can handle the materials, you'll never get past it."

"Thank you very much.... but you can't buy it today, can you? I just don't have it."

I don't know, I don't know.

After that, Zasan smiled happily.

We decided to gather a little information from each other while we were on our way to the base used by the party members of Zasan.

"So, how does that feel on your side?

"It's not bad. Anyway, now that there are more people and we're in the village in earnest, don't you think we can use it to nurture rookies anyway?

"... I see. Does that mean you've already gone to other tiers?

"We haven't. You said that Gazara and the others went to the sixth floor. I can't seem to go on a day trip from here."

Gazara and Lüssen are famous adventurer parties there.

It was also a party where the materials were brought back to Lüssen the other day.

"It's another..."

Schmidt rounded his eyes to the information.

I didn't think the boulder was that wide.

Did Zasan know that, too?

"I didn't think we were this big. I know how you feel.... what the hell kind of guy attacked this place?"

I've heard that there are more than 50 floors?

"Oh, I'm not kidding."

We arrive at Zasan's base with such a chat.

Schmidt, who was immediately sent to the temporary storage location, rounded his eyes to the items lined up there.

"This is again..."

The items there are not particularly unusual in some places.

But it is, in some places.

Even if there is a certain amount of consumer goods or a certain amount of demand for them, some of them are acquired by Lüssen through dealings from outside.

There are several of them.

"How's it going?

"No, it's a big deal. If this were to happen every day, Lüssen's life would change."

"No, every day on a boulder... no, that depends on how many?... well, if that happens, they're going to hunt the whole area down."

I see...

"Well, actually, it depends on how big this place gets."

Schmidt nodded again at the words.

"Thank you very much. It was very helpful in opening the store."

"Wow.... I'd be happy if you could open a tavern, too."

"... think about it."

Thank God for that.

The two broke up on the spot after that conversation.

In the end, Schmidt would open a temporary shop in two days using the medium-sized shop that Kabuki had prepared.
