Miniature Garden Chemister

3. Merchant Guild - 1

Inside the boulevard, there is the "Adventurer's Alliance” that I am aiming for.

A three-story building that is more than one turn larger than the shops and facilities around it, with a sword and shield sign above the door on the ground floor section, and it says Adventurer Guild.

Exactly this past lunch hour, there seemed to be people in and out there. I've stepped in here for an ID once before. It's kind of an indescribable place. Because an adventurer is irrelevant to me when I see it. But what an emotion to think that if my receptionist sister hadn't told me about the curse slave here, I wouldn't have met Ickle.

I gently open the door and go inside.

Just like when I came forward, a long counter is available ahead. Each adventurer seemed slightly involved in trying to get things done.

"Ah, Hinami-san!"

"Shea!

In the right-hand space at the entrance, there were several desks and benches, where Shea and Quilt sat and waited for me. "I'm sorry to keep you waiting," he said, and me and Ickle head to Shea's too.

"No, I'm fine.... Oh, Hinami's hair is adorable ribbon."

"Ah, thank you. Shea surprised me with her ponytail, too. That's cute."

"Thank you."

By the way, I'm not wearing robes or other gear because I'm not fighting. Just in case. Now I'm a regular piece, backpack style. The dagger is in the backpack for once.

Shea had her loose wavy hair ponytailed and tied in a white, large ribbon. I'm in gear too, but I'm wearing God's ribbon, so it's about time.

Behind that diagonal, there was a quilt that fluttered a little brown, slightly creased, short hair. He inserts a sword into his hips and also wears a chest patch. Yeah, he's a one-man adventurer.

"Again, it's been a while. Hinami, Ikuru."

"Yeah, it's been a while. Quilt, it's been a long time since you've had one, too!

"Yes! Long time no see, Master Hinami, Mr. Ikuru."

"… Long time no see"

Oh, Ickle's language has become polite.

Or is that right? They are aristocrats, but I wonder if I'm so friendly and good… I kind of get anxious about myself watching Ickle.

Speaking of which, I look through the Adventurer Alliance for a week… not there. I was wondering if Mr. Mirle and Mr. Tact were here... but apparently they weren't. Has it been misplaced?

"Speaking of which, what do you do to the Adventurer Guild?

"Ah, I was. I was thinking about taking a novice course."

"Oh, you did."

Actually, I guess I should get some practical skills, but I'm afraid, so I'm the one with the unfortunate idea of not daring to sit down. With that in mind, Shea led me to the counter where I first registered as an adventurer, "This is our receptionist." Thank you, "she thanked Shea, and I just told the receptionist sister that I wanted to take a novice course.

"You're a beginner's course. Currently, we offer one week of practical skills and three day courses in seating. Are you sure you want to just sit down?

"Yes."

"Yes, I did. On the first day, the Academy will conduct courses on the history, profession and general knowledge of the Adventurer Guild and the Letty Threel, and on the second day we will conduct courses on demons in general, and on the third day we will conduct courses on medicinal herbs, items, equipment, etc."

"You have three days."

"That's right. It starts at 10: 00 in the morning and ends at 17: 00 in the evening with a break pinched."

Oh, it looks pretty long. You mean we'll be taking courses for five or six hours a day... for putting in lunch. I think I'm kind of a student now.

"This month's beginner course will start in a week, what will you do?

"Oh, well, please."

"Yes, of course."

Write on the paperwork while your sister checks the schedule. I look at it a little sometimes. I think my chest will get flat from time to time in this everyday life, which was not Japan.

All right, speaking of which. What I take is as a certainty.

"Ikuru, the course is..."

"Well, I'll be ready for the store, and I won't."

That's right... Yeah, I thought you must be something.

Well, Ickle is strong, and he's knowledgeable. Isn't that why you're acting as a lecturer? And, privately, I wonder.

"Yes, then bring us this document for the day."

"Ah, Yes."

If you look at what was handed to you, it was a piece of perla paper with a brief description of the meeting time, belongings, terms, etc. I got a little nervous when I said "paperwork." Incidentally, the terms and conditions contained rules for making noise, sleeping, and stopping on the spot if you were late during the course. I'm not an elementary school student, and I won't do that.... but is that what it says?

"Sorry, it's over!

"Oh, good. I got a quilt, too, but it's very polite."

"It is! Then let's hope so."

Shea, snort properly, and now I'm out of the building because I don't even need you for my guild. Then, Mr. Alfred came into the guild just in the wrong place. As usual, I think you're a prominent person. He has red hair tied in one behind him and is dressed in knight's clothes. You look young, but you're actually older than me. Well, my mental age is better than mine, for once.

"Oh, long time no see, Hinami."

"Mr. Alfred! It's been a while."

"Just call Shea... if Hinami's okay, I'll introduce her to the Merchant Guild.

"Wah, please!

Everyone else came out from behind me and Ickle greeted Mr. Alfred softly. Mr. Alfred also greeted him lightly and told everyone that he was going to the Merchant Alliance. It seemed like it, but Quilt told me that you raised your hand and actually had an errand.

"Excuse me, actually, I was booking a training course for the Adventurer Guild, and it's about to start."

"Ah, you did… I'm sure the quilt was an admiring adventurer…"

"Ha!"

"It is! Then we have to go before it's too late."

As Shea reminded me, she tells me what the errands are about. Quilt told me, smiling, "I'm looking forward to it". Yeah, yeah, right, a sword workout?... Wow, fantasy world. Do you do it with a wooden knife or something? No way. You don't use a real sword... do you? If that's the case, you're too scared to pull yourself together.

"Then there's no choice, refine the quilt."

"Yes, I'm coming!

Taking Mr. Alfred's life, Quilt, you went back to the guild alone. I can only look at the situation as if I'm interested, but I'm going to listen to the merchant guild for that matter. No, it's not like you're running away from something you're afraid of, is it?

"Well, shall we?

"Even so, it's right across the diagonal."

That said, Mr. Alfred points to the building across the street with his jaw. Hmm? There is a corner that faces the boulevard and holds one. That's the Merchant Guild...?

If you walk to the front, it was built deep enough to make room for about 3 carriages to stop, and one carriage actually stopped. Right, a lot of people need carriages and other amenities because they are merchants? Include this space, maybe bigger than the Adventurer Guild.

"Hey, Ickle ever come here as a merchant guild?

"No, but it's big enough for every city. On a global scale, the number is smaller than the Adventurer Alliance, but the facility is firmer than the Merchant Alliance."

"Heh... that's right. Ichle, you know so much about this!

I said, "Thanks! When I returned it, I received a response saying," It's common sense, "with a steady face.

"Excuse me. I'd like to see Mariaj, is she there?

While I was hearing the explanation from Ickle, Mr. Alfred just walked into the Merchant Alliance at his own pace. Hey, I'm not ready for my heart yet...!

Shea also continues to go in as she says, "If you're my brother..." This is... the only pattern I'm nervous about!? If you think that, even Ickle goes in, so you rush to pull the edge of your clothes tight.

"Hey, what is it, Hinami..."

"No, I'm nervous... don't leave me."

I told him to do it. Even though I let it wind, Ickle stops his leg and turns to me. Oh, good. Let's just take a deep breath with this and get settled in. That's what I was thinking, but Ickle came around my back and pushed my back. Suddenly my foot could not stop and I slowly stepped into the Merchant Alliance.

"Damn, what are you gonna do with all this nervousness?"

"Ikuru... Ugh..."

Gu. Ichl was Ichl after all.

Sora, I'm going to tell you that I want to have my own shop. Then you'll be nervous too. Is this the kind of nervousness that I also have at shareholders' meetings that I do occasionally?

I hope the master of the Merchant Alliance is a good person… full because I hope so to me.

If you look out of your face from the icle behind you, there's a beautiful room that makes white precious. Several sets of desks and chairs were placed so that they could also be used as a business space, with three reception counters lined up in the back.

◇ ◇ ◇

"Hmm, you're Hinami, right?"

Master of the Merchant Guild sitting in front of me to treasure the long hair of Honey Orange. From between those beautiful hairs, he glanced at the fox ears in his drooling ears. Woven cardigan feathers on shirt, tights on chic black skirt. Beautiful proprietor... something like that? The necklace that you can see from the shirt with the button slightly removed, the legs that are put together are kind of colorful.

Next to me, Mr. Alfred, next to it, Shea. Ikuru is standing behind him without sitting down because he also needs an escort. The couch is soft and it's actually a little hard to withstand the body sinking.

"I am a master in the Merchant Alliance… Mariage Luston. Nice to meet you."

"Ku, ku, it's Hinami Nanki. I'm a pharmacist...!

"Oh, you don't have to be so nervous, do you?

"I'm not taking it and eating it," she says, grinning Mariage.

"As we talked a little during this time. I guarantee Hinami's recovery medicine (potion). I would like to request registration with the Merchant Guild, registration of the store exhibition and arrangement of the property"

"Hmm... right. I asked Salina about the potion, so there's no problem."

While holding the paperwork in his hand and listening to Mr. Alfred's explanation, Mr. Mariage's gaze does not capture and speak to me. Shit, there's no pressure hammering it. When I think my hands are a little sweaty and suck, Mariage, who was thinking of something, said, "In the meantime, can I introduce myself?," he throws at me.

Introduce yourself? Ha! Well, maybe this is like a part-time interview…

If that's the case, I might be able to… a little. I remember studying a lot from an early age because I wanted to get a job in a good company. Speaking of which, that happened, and now I'm going to dig up the knowledge I thought I wouldn't use anymore.

Yes, I practiced interviewing one person in the bathroom, and I practiced introducing myself many times.

I bow my head, breathe as I bow, and take a deep breath.

"Again, my name is Hinami Nanki. Today, I would like to ask for permission to exhibit in the store I am thinking of," Hinami's Box Garden (Miniature Garden) ", as well as to register for the Merchant Guild."

Take one breath and calm down.

And you connect your words to shape this thought. There is no magnificent story in this store that I will exhibit for God's sake in order to live, but I intend to work hard on my own.

Come on, from here on out, you're gonna be a merchant. It's me and Mr. Mariage's business meeting!

And I'm not saying that, but it's such a well-dressed feeling to my intentions. All right, me, I'll do my best!
