My First Trip was to Another World
Of One Child
Leeds' house was a room on the second floor of a two-story borough apartment. Four-and-a-half tatami of a co-bathroom without a bath.
less (...) and (...) scattered? It's a lie. It's scattered in (...) large (...).
Tight in a small room, scattered with stuff I don't know if it's garbage or material.
I don't know...... a doghouse?
"Where do I sit?
Inside with Zukazuka on the earthfoot. Occasionally there are sounds like 'paki' or 'kuchu' but I don't care.
"Don't step on it! Take off your shoes!"
Hmm? This world is western. I have room wear like a slipper, but the basics are earthfoot.
Not to mention barefoot in this messy room or something like walking on a needle.
"No earthfoot in this room?
"The ingredients and tools are on the floor.
Look, because this is how it's gonna be okay!
Leeds pushing their luggage forcefully over the floor and garbage piling up in the corners of the room.
Leeds is making noises with Gosogoso and driving the garbage into corners one after another.
"Goso, Goso, Goso, Baki."
Is something broken?
"Now you're okay!
Are you all right? Well, fine.
Take out the lamp's demon props and sit back with Luna in the empty space. Leeds sat in her own bed, but the bed was also full of garbage.
I wonder where the hell he sleeps.
"Well, let's start talking. We're trying to make magic props.
Luna is a former court magician and has sufficient knowledge of magic props. Leave the crest and the magic formation to her.
I'm still immature, but only Enchant is confident. "
"Wow! I'm a court magician. But why me?
I am completely relieved of the tension and my tail is shaking every bit. I'd like to touch it, but I guess it pisses me off.
"Leeds is a lot more clever.
Normally I can't make magic props out of that garbage, and I don't even think about making them. "
Demonic props are the quality of materials and the design and enchantment of crests. And putting them together well is forming.
I can do quality magic props when it all goes well.
Normally, if I make it from garbage, all I can do is garbage.
"Thanks! Then let me just make something. I can't pay my rent."
Uh. I was. d I was a poor girl. I guess the fact that you're so impatient didn't sell anything today.
Let's not ask because I feel sorry for you.
I don't know what to do. Shall I have Wash's magic props made?
"Gacha"
There was an unexpected sound of the door opening. When you look at the front door, a lean aunt with a tough face. Behind it, he stood with a grin like a man of good standing.
"Landlord..."
Leeds suddenly lost his energy. Will the rent be taken up?
If you can't pay the rent, you can request work in advance.
"Don't even pay the rent, are you calling your friends home to chat?
No, he seems to have tried. You're an aunt who speaks in a way.
"Yeah, work......"
"Then you can pay the rent. You said the money was coming in today."
Were you counting on the outdoor store? Probably can't......
Give Luna a look.
He seemed to notice my intentions and nodded small with a serious look.
"Hey, how much is the rent?
"What is it? Will you pay me instead?
An aunt with a strange look on her face and Leeds who gets smaller and scares her like a puppy.
"No, I'm just asking how much"
"The rent is five large silver coins a month. But she's four months behind, so the rent is two gold coins."
The price of demon props at the outdoor store is around three gold coins a piece. Ordinary stores are like that because they don't take expensive ones with anti-thieves.
Leeds' magic props were sold for around five large silver coins per piece because of their poor quality.
If I sold four, I would have paid the rent.... a little bit more because of the outdoor store opening fee.
"Okay?
A man who was holding back in the back came forward with Zui.
"What about you?
"I'm a national tax collector. This landlord asked me to accompany him.
The rent is two gold coins, but the landlord is owed taxes because this one's rent is not paid.
Because of this person, tax arrears and unsolicited fees will be multiplied "
"Huh? I'm not listening!
Leeds gets up with a surprised face and shouts.
But is this happening? It's never going to happen in Japan.
Tell Luna in as small a voice as possible, "Is this normal? When he asked, he shook his head small with a troubled face and replied," Impossible. "
I knew it was crazy.
"It's all twenty gold coins combined.
If you can pay today, no problem, but if you can't pay, you need to come with us. "
Hmm. I see, it's a scam. He's blowing a lot of money after figuring out where he can't pay.
You're in trouble. You can't be taken here.
"It's crazy!
Luna suddenly raised her voice. That's unusual. It's always quiet.
"What is it? There are people who are annoyed because of this one. It's a natural charge, isn't it?
This man, you're confident.
Sure enough, the king gave me materials about the law. Let's find out later.
"Mr. Coe, let's pay!
Luna is getting emotional. Pretty pissed off, huh? Or are you sympathetic to Leeds?
Hmm. To say I'm trying to take you means to sell you off as a slave or something.
It means that Leeds will have a value of more than twenty gold coins. It's impossible to say "as a magician".
That doesn't make a lot of sense.
"Right, let's pay"
"Huh? I have trouble getting my mouth pinched by an irrelevant person."
Pursue just a confused con artist.
"It's money I pay the country. It doesn't matter who pays. And we're related to Leeds."
"Sure it is... do you think it would be difficult if you didn't pay this person..."
Obviously upsetting con man. I kind of figured it out.
Perhaps Leeds has already decided where to sell it.
I think I intend to force him to bear the debt in this case and sell himself with his consent.
Leeds looks objectively and is pretty cute. And a rare beast man in the king's capital.
It's not weird that some pervert loads a lot of money.
"We're Leeds' guests, and we're here to ask you to create a magic prop. I'd be in trouble if they took me."
The landlord and the man looked at the Leeds' demonic props (failures) scattered throughout the room and said, "To this garbage?" and twinkle.
I agree with you on the whole.
"Huh? Are you sure? Really?"
Leeds is confused by making his eyes black and white. Well, I guess so. Twenty gold coins is a lot of money.
Naturally, I'm not offering it to a fraud for free either.
"Oh, think of it as a contract fee. Never mind.
Pay two gold coins for rent first. Do you have anything like a receipt?
This is a natural duty. It's not good to step down.
The culture of receipts is not common in this country and is only used in dealings between traders and national counterparts.
When you receive your reward at the Alliance, you say, "Don't you need a receipt? He told me when he asked."
They don't use it on a personal basis. The Adventurer signs the receipt and ends.
"Then I have a payment book!
Leeds began to clamp the pile of trash.
"Gossssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!
Much broken, huh?
Leeds gave me something like a small file, no matter what.
Simple paper with only the date of payment and the landlord's signature.
With this, don't prove you paid.
When I gave the landlord two gold coins, he received them with a look like he had chewed up a bitter bug.
Probably had a share. You can kick out a poor store and you're two birds a stone.
For once, check the handwriting by looking at the previous signatures.
I might change my handwriting on purpose and say, "It's not my signature."
Next, 18 gold coins from the con artist. I'll definitely take this one back later. Just lend it to me for a second.
"An official would have an ID issued by the state, wouldn't he?
Before you pay, tell me the name and affiliation of the tax collector.
And I want receipts. I don't care if they say, "I didn't get it."
The man nodded with a pulled smile, "Okay," and took the wooden board out of his nose.
That's a real ID as far as I can tell.
===============================
Name: Eric Conman
Class: --
Affiliation: Wangdu Government Building
Position: Tax Collector
===============================
I'm worried about my judgment alone, so I'll have Luna check it out. "What do you think?" he answered, "I think it's real."
I copied my name and affiliation back on paper.
Your ID doesn't say anything detailed. Where you work and what you do.
If you get fired because of a problem, your ID will be forfeited, but if you normally retire, your job will just be blank.
It is a remedy for those who retire because of old age or injury or illness.
By the way, you can't forge it. Looks like a chatty piece of wood but a clean demonic prop. Amateurs can't delude a magician's eyes even if they can cheat.
In this man's case, it would mean an active tax collector because his position is not blank.
In this country, even the general public may have a last name. Because products and technology are branded under the name of the house, important artisan lineages are given a last name.
So if you trace the last name "Conman," you'll know the birth house.
But isn't he aware that he's doing something wrong now?
At least bring me a fake ID. I'll find out.
He made a grinning smile with all his might and gave the man eighteen gold coins.
I hate that it's a full-power smile.
"I did keep it for you. Let me give it to the country."
Receive and confirm the receipt.
Date, the amount is fine...... The originator is in the country. This is not good.
And it doesn't say anything. I don't know what the money's for.
Don't probably void this receipt.
As a Koitz individual, I can escape saying as much because I received it but not by the state.
"You can't do this. Write exactly as I tell you."
It also adds that the sender is in his personal name and on behalf of the State. Allow them to write in detail.
The man completed the receipt with a hugely drawn face, shaking his hands.
Now we're ready.
"Is that enough? If you don't seem to need me, please excuse me."
The man says by re-pasting his smile, but we're no use to him more than we were. Just go home.
"Oh. Fine. Just go home."
The man and the landlord left the room silently. The landlord's aunt was in the shape of a ghost, but it doesn't matter.
"Are you sure it was good? I haven't done anything, have I?
An insecure dog, Torito Leeds. He still looked like he was going to cry, so now Luna is comforting him next door.
"Oh. I'm fine. I have no choice but to get 18 gold coins back."
Leeds said, "Huh?," he said, stretching his body. What are you worried about?
If you go to the government building tomorrow and I poke you through the receipt, you'll probably be back soon, okay?
I wonder if you imagined an event that was supposed to happen before that.
If I'm right, the event will happen soon.
What shall we do...... I want to ignore it because it's not a money-making event.
