I was on my way to the Marida Chamber of Commerce, having breakfast in an early morning outhouse standing on Wangdu Boulevard, and sidelining the people of Wangdu, who are now waiting for the beginning of the Wang Competition Festival, which begins today.

In front of the Malida Chamber of Commerce, we were just picking up delivery early this morning. Several carriages enter and exit the parking lot, which combines the reception area on the ground floor of the mall.

One of the guards guarding it in the morning noticed me.

"You're just a friend of the President of the Chamber of Commerce."

"I'm Schwartz, a D-rank adventurer. Has the Chairman of Commerce left yet?

"No - I'm still in the mall...?

Standing outside the merchant hall as an escort was an alum of blonde, a woman of the Fox Beast clan. As a shaft, I have connections, but as a Schwartz, I've never had a conversation.

Did you even see the shaft shadow somewhere? Alum herself, with a look on his face that made him unable to understand what she had learned to hook up to, leaning (covering) her neck, said "guide" and walked inside the merchant hall. I followed it up to the usual reception room at the mall.

"Good morning, Mr. Schwartz"

"Good morning, Marta. Sorry, I've been here all morning."

As he was put through to the reception room, sitting in a chair and waiting alone, Mr. Malta arrived immediately. Alum, who has guided us so far, is returning to escort the unloading immediately after that.

"No, you can come whenever you want if you're Mr. Schwartz. So, it was definitely about the morning of the third day, are you going to be attending the King's Competition Festival today?

"No, it's not that I disturbed you in the morning. Actually, there's something I'd like you to look for at the Marida Chamber of Commerce."

"Ho, are you a demon prop?

"No, it's the house or the warehouse you're looking for."

"Is it a mansion! The Chamber of Commerce also deals with a number of real estate properties. What mansion are you looking for?

"No, no, it doesn't have to be a mansion. I don't necessarily live there..., so that's the condition..."

There were a number of conditions I told Mr Malta. Must be in a sparsely populated or discreet place. Having a certain size, having a basement. It conveyed the detailed conditions and amenities of the property that it wanted to be searched for, such as the fact that it was a stone building that was hard to burn due to fire and so on.

"Hmm. If that's the case……, perhaps a commercial or workplace would be better suited to the conditions rather than a mansion as a residence. Hate and all the real estate listings for sale in our Chamber are mansions, but outside the Second District is the building where I first opened my shop as a merchant. It's a stone building, a small business hall on the ground floor and the basement floor, but I think it almost matches Mr. Schwartz's criteria."

"You mean shop number one at the Marida Chamber of Commerce?

"Right...... it's a long time ago building, but I still let people do and clean it regularly. I don't already use it as a trading mall, but you can always use the store section on the ground floor. The second floor is in the office. The basement is the warehouse, and I think it's the size and height you asked for."

"But isn't it as thoughtful a trading house as it still holds today?

"Indeed......, it is my starting point as a merchant and my starting point. It can now be entertained with some of the leading major chambers of commerce in the Kingdom of Kurt Melga, but it has been managed without letting go as an object to remember what the business is all about. But the trade hall doesn't have to be used to be a trade hall. I won't ask you how Mr. Schwartz is going to use it, but if you can use it, we'll be happy with that mall."

"- Okay. Thank you, I will be purchasing that property"

"I'm glad you said that, too, but let's make sure the mall first with that eye before we do. It's time for me to head to the King's Festival, but let Marida guide me."

Candidates for the properties to be based were found. As we talked, Marta asked Marida, who came to the reception room with tea, to tell us what was going on and give her guidance.

The look on Marida's face when she heard she was giving me the building that was store number one only gave her a surprise look for a moment, but she was immediately grinning and nodding back.

Marta went straight to the King's Competition Festival, but Marida stayed in the reception room and was briefed on the outline of the property she was going to see.

We had the carriage ready while we were listening to the explanation, and we were to head there as soon as it was ready.

Alum sat on the carriage podium parked in front of the Malida Chamber of Commerce. With that said, I don't see my twin sister Silvara, but is she somewhere else?

"Alum, do you know where it is?

"It's okay, ma'am. I've been there several times with the maids."

"Then don't worry. Now, Mr. Schwartz, let's go."

"Yeah, please"

I only saw Alum for a moment when I got in the carriage, but Alum didn't seem to feel uncomfortable already and just seemed to make sure I got in.

The Wang capital is huge. Even within the same second district, it took quite a while to use the carriage, from the Marida Chamber of Commerce, located in the heart of Wang Capital, to the old trading mall, located off the coast.

Looking at the maps in my sight, I could see that I was still not mapping them, going near the outer circumference of the Wang capital. The number of light points also decreases and turns into a completely different atmosphere from the central city.

"It's a lot quieter out there."

"Do you understand? Still, it's pretty busy in the evening after noon. Trading centers and stores around here focus on the rush to do business with individuals. From morning until after noon, few merchants will get what they sell themselves"

"Did Marida and Marta used to hunt for themselves, too?

"Malta was a rooted merchant, that man had never hunted a single wild rabbit. But I'm a former adventurer. Now I'm returning my Adventurer's Guild Card, but you ranked it up to C-rank at the time."

"Really...... So, Minnea inherits Marida's talent."

"That kid has more magic than I do. Even today, he was selected as a tourist member of the King's Competition Festival at a college event to take Silvara out."

"Tour? You have something like that."

"Yeah, it's an event where good college students are allowed to see the royal family."

On the road to the mall, a carriage arrived at its destination while listening to such a college event.
