Level 99 Villainous Daughter

◆5-02 Punch of Truth

Yumiella-san! This way!

It was Eleanor who rushed over, waving her hand. The hand was blackened with soil. There's dirt on my face and on my dress.

“What were you doing?”

"It's a potato dig!" Besides, it's not a potato, it's a sweet potato! "

"... that's the best part."

“There's a church-managed field not far from the city, and I'm going to have a yakitori tournament with the potatoes I made there!”

"... looks like you're having fun. Are you going to do it now?"

"Not yet today."...... It's really confidential, but I'll just tell Yumiella. After this, only those who participated in the potato digging will be able to bake potatoes. If you dig hard enough, you can eat the baked potato twice. "

I got some pretty classified information.

Behind Elenora, there were about ten children hardened at a distance. Everyone's hands are black, and the bag I'm holding contains sweet potatoes. By the way, Eleanora looks the dirtiest. I don't know the details, whether it was because the original shape was beautiful, or whether I started digging for potatoes with more joy than a child.

I send her away, happy and happy to fall.

"The children in the back are waiting for you." Please go and give it to her. "

Yes! I'm coming!

Running slowly, Eleanora mixes with the child without any discomfort.

Lady Eleanora, the legend says that in ancient times, I was the daughter of a duke, but I felt like I was mistaken. I am much more acquainted with the people of the city than I am, especially children.

I broke up with her and walked for a while, thinking about the Eleanor replacement theory, and I was called again.

Is Yumiella going home too?

And Patrick?

"I'm just finished, too." She looked serious... but it wasn't anything, was it? "

"Yeah, nothing."

You notice that I always had a serial face with no expression. + 2 points. We know that what we were thinking is not very important.

In total, Yumiella points + 5 points. Patrick Ashbaton builds a solid dot.

I played a new game in Eleanor's vanished brain, which had never been replaced. It seemed that he had noticed, and he walked without saying anything in particular.

I also move my legs and line up with Patrick on the way home.

"Was it... Archiam today?"

Yeah, Archiam territory. I carried this thick log back and forth.

“When I look back, I think I'm going to hit somebody.”

"It's too late to say."

Are you hurt?

I didn't hit it very close.

If Patrick hadn't hit someone, he wouldn't have mentioned it anymore. Somehow, the hurdles are falling against me year after year. In time, there may be a future where you can be praised for not breaking anything in one day.

Is Patrick using earth magic again?

"No, I was helping to build a pillar today." It's hard work, isn't it?

Today I am a truck, he is a crane, and the birth of a heavy equipment couple.

Patrick at level 99 will be able to lightly do any work that everyone can do together. That said, the working carpenter is also at a high level.

"Wasn't she the one who couldn't?" You say you do enough work for 20 people. "

“I don't think he alone would weigh that much.”

I knew it--

No, no, no, no.

The topic of discussion is a Level 20 carpenter sent by the Archiam Chamber of Commerce. When I first met him, he said, "You can do 20 jobs by yourself," and he said, "Are you interested in 99 jobs?” he solicited. As a result, I became farther away from the work site than ever before.

In my previous position, I was collecting magic stones in the dungeon to earn a living, so there should be a chance... but it's a waste.

"Is level 20 that different?" Isn't it about the same error as someone with more muscles at level 1? "

You and I have just lost our senses, and 20 is quite capable.

"Then why did you quit your adventurer?" Diving into the dungeon seems to make more money. "

“I was thinking of retiring from a dangerous job on the grounds of marriage, and he said he was scouted by the Arkitt Chamber of Commerce.”

I was surprised that Patrick and he were so interrupted that they had such a conversation.

Patrick seems to be treating people he has never met with before, like a blur. But I don't know why they trust me so quickly. I'm not going to be able to imitate his ability to communicate, even though I'm supposed to be watching next to him.

"He was in his thirties, wasn't he?" You mean the carpenter's career is shallow? "

"I don't know... it's been about three years since I talked to you. If it's that time, there's a reason to decide to retire."

What happened?

"The price of magic stones has dropped, right?" Especially for high grade objects. I hear that the adventurer industry has been in a bad mood for the past few years. "

It was true that the price of Magic Stones had fallen compared to the past.

I got to know the price of Magic Stone after I enrolled in school. Until then, I didn't care about the price because it would have been good if I had a small allowance to buy the minimum product. There was also a reason why I had to defeat monsters in the dungeon and work hard to raise the level so that I felt that the time to pick up magic stones was a waste.

Since I knew that the level was stuck at the entrance ceremony, I started collecting and selling magic stones because I didn't have any trouble with the money. It seems that the purchase price has decreased year by year.

If the crash continues like this, the Dorkness family's tremendous finances, which are maintained only by the proceeds of the sale of the Magic Stone, may be at risk.

I don't know. There's no reason why the demand for magic stones should go down.

It must have appeared that you kept supplying large quantities of high-grade magic stones.

”...... Patrick is a level-99 evil.”

”No, Yumiella... well, is there a cause for it?”

When I tried to rub the blame on Patrick, I really felt responsible. Maybe 80% is my fault.

I understood that the hardest dungeon in the 50-layer class, and the enormous magic stones dropped by the bosses, were supplying too much and the price was falling. Only Patrick and I have stable access, so I'm sure the market will be affected. But I never imagined that even a standard-sized magic stone would be oversupplied.

If we don't do something about this, we're going to have to take it seriously.

As I became seriously worried, my voice was slightly reduced.

"I wonder if it's okay...?"

It seems that the magic stones have become cheaper and more people are using magic tools ─ ─

"With the increased consumption of magic stones for magic tools, the market price of magic stones is stable?" It seems like we'll be able to avoid a situation where it's as cheap as a stone. "

Huh?

"If it gets cheaper, we all buy it, and if we all buy it, it gets more expensive." Because the market is a force to rebel against... "If demand increases with supply, the equilibrium price will not change."

We need to be prepared for some reduction in harvest, but it's not hopeless.

Fortunately, when he looked up at his face, Patrick stared at us with his eyes wide open.

"What, what? What's wrong?"

Is that really Yumiella?

"... I can't help but find out. The real Yumiella is in my stomach."

Oh, that Nori is a real Yumiella.

"How do I confirm my identity?" So, where did you think it was fake? "

"I discussed it with the finance officials and decided that the value of the Magic Stone would settle somewhat." After listening only to the part at the end, I immediately reached the conclusion... and said that Yumiella today is satisfied. "

I got a great compliment. I don't think it's a big deal, but I'm happy with the unusual high ratings.

This much economics is learned by junior high school citizens... oh, I used to go to a school that specializes in economics.

I have a witty vibe... but I don't know what to say about a witty vibe. Well, that's how I say it.

“I went to college in economics, too.”

"University... is it a school that can receive the highest level of education?"... hm? Didn't you say before that Yumiella can learn a wide range of shallow things, but she can't acquire any specialized knowledge? "

It was I in the past who blocked my path to being an economist.

I mean, yes, I was still in first grade. I didn't really want to learn about the economy that much. Now that I was a lord, I thought it would be too late for me to study.

The Brain Route has already given up and confessed honestly.

“I told you, but I wasn't a serious student. 80% of economics undergraduates are not interested in economics."

Isn't that an overstatement?

"I was a first-year student, so I just did the introductory part." Of course, there were some serious people, right? I also decided to go to the seminar, and I went to ask the professor questions. "

If that's a serious student, then Yumiella wasn't serious, right?

That's right, Mr. Patrick, fried feet.

There seems to be a difference between our perceptions of seriousness and non-seriousness. Let me present him with some of the most common college students.

If you go to class, take notes, and study only before the exam, you'll be classified as a serious college student.

"Isn't that... natural?"

"There are some people who don't come to school because of things like Ron and Tsumo and board games that repeat words that they don't really understand, and the sales of pots and detergents."

"I don't understand."

Patrick twisted his neck. It doesn't seem to make sense to miss an opportunity to acquire specialized knowledge.

Although I was properly present, it is difficult to say that I was also motivated to study. Don't think that macroeconomics is irrelevant until death, it would have been nice if you had studied it seriously. It would have been different if I hadn't known how to deal with a lord.

"If I knew that I would come to another world like this, I would have studied seriously." It'll help us. "

“Is there anything more useless about economics than living in a human society? No matter what kind of work you do, your perspective will change depending on whether you have knowledge or not....."

"... now, Patrick, you're the type to talk about changing jobs and improving treatment to people who complain about their hard work?"

“I'm sorry, I didn't know Yumiella well enough to imagine her.”

It was Patrick who was pushing the core, but he quickly pulled the claim back. It's a painful punch.

The story has derailed a lot. How did you end up like this?

Retrace your memories in order. I broke into the economics... the price of magic stones was falling. That's why the Adventurer's Neighborhood is in recession, and there's a carpenter at level 20. That's funny.

I got caught up in Level 20 and a new question came up.

But then we arrived at the Mansion. The two of you go straight into tea time.
