My First Trip was to Another World

After the guild, we're meeting in my room after dinner at the inn. We don't have an agenda to discuss today, but we kind of got together because we had extra time.

"Good day. I'll give this to Leeds for now."

That's what I say. I give Leeds two big silver coins. This request for an investigation was Leeds' job. They won't complain if I take it, but it's my first reward memorial. You should give it to me.

"What's this?

"It's a reward for Leeds' first request. It's a memorial, so keep it."

"Are you sure?

"Oh. That's my first reward. You can buy whatever you want."

"Thanks!"

Luna and Claire are watching Niyaniya as Leeds jumps around with a happy tail swing. It's a smiling sight. If you say you look happy......

"Speaking of which, Claire. What happened in the guild's conference room?

"Huh? Nothing?

Claire answers blindly, but Claire was somehow happy to continue to be our mentor.

We did something for Claire. I don't remember.

"Really? I would have been happy with something."

"... I'm not happy! He's my first mentor, so I don't want to take care of him till the end!

Claire protests by dyeing her face red...... I would have been happy to see it.

"That's a hard excuse, isn't it?

Mr. Leeds, who has a reputation for not reading the air, pokes at the core.

"Damn, that's not true!... Just a little... I thought I'd make more money than I did when I was alone..."

Claire answers with her voice down.

In the contract, 10% of the total reward is Claire's share, and herbs and other collections belong to the individual. The four of us collect them vigilantly, so it's more natural than when we're alone.

"Right. Then I'm convinced. We're helping each other, too."

"Right, Atashi? Helpful, right?!? You're standing, aren't you!?

"Oh. I don't know what to pick without Claire"

"Isn't that right? Can you count on me for more?

Claire snorted "Humph" with a full grin. I think I saw a Doya face like the one painted on the picture......

"Hey, then why are you working solo? Why don't we throw a party?"

"Few adventurers are predominantly herb harvesting... Everyone will collect enough for a demon crusade.

Even if you were there, you wouldn't be able to get to the back of the woods because you're anxious to fight. "

I actually tried and thought it would be overwhelmingly more profitable to crusade and sell the material. Herb collection is a popular request, but I guess it's only to the extent that I get it at last.

I think it's unusual for a party to do all the sampling all day. Relatively safe and steady in earnings, but not very profitable.

"Why don't Claire do both crusading and collecting, too? If you're gonna make money, you're gonna make more money selling demonic material, right?

"Of course I'll do the crusade. But it's more important to collect herbs because you're going to be a pharmacist."

Adventurers are not a profession that goes on until death. Positioned like a "money-making apprentice." Almost all adventurers act thinking about what happens after they retire.

And most adventurers start doing business after retirement, so there are many parties whose main purpose is to make money.

There are few people out there like Claire who want to be a post-retirement craftsman. It's faster to become an apprentice without becoming an adventurer because you're in a technical position.

"Then why didn't you become an apprentice to the pharmacist?

Mr. Claire's house isn't in trouble for money, is it?

The reason why artisanal aspiring young people become adventurers is mostly about money. I need a send-off at home, or I'm in debt.

But Marie's shop seemed quite thriving. The store was too scattered and the customers' legs were far away, but I'm sure they had no trouble selling it because their arms are sure and the Demon Prop Guild is buying it up.

"... Atashi's dad was an adventurer. So is my uncle. I wanted to do the same with my dad.

Besides, you'd better know what it's like to work in the field, right? Potions are best used by adventurers. "

Brother of an old bearded man? Must have been a big mustache dude...... I had a distant eye.

Turn to Claire and ask her a question.

"I see. I know what it's like to focus on adventurers. But are you practicing potion making?

"... you haven't been able to do much. Do you know how to make it? But I don't have the equipment or tools. It's too expensive to buy.

Fifty gold coins just to get all the tools together, right? If the ingredients match, you'll need 60 pieces of gold. "

If it's just material, it's not expensive. It's expensive to put in. Potion contents are inconsistent glass vials, but this is expensive. I think the tools are also made of glass and copper. Fifty gold coins, for example.

Probably the amount you could buy giri if you combined Claire's buy-in today with her last reward, but as an adventurer, I have to put my pharmacist tools behind me. I guess I won't be able to buy it for a while yet.

"Why don't you let Claire in on the party, too?

Let Kon buy it for you. "

"Huh?"

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, who Exactly. Even I can pay 60 gold coins... at my leisure. The rewards just worked out.

I sell potions for five large silver coins if they are of good quality. The buyout, even if it's cheap, won't bring down three large silver coins. Can we collect them if we make 200? No, it's about 500 bottles because of the cost of the ingredients.

I can collect more or less a year for making it with one of the adventurers' hassles...... Maybe it would be quicker if Claire's arm went up.

I don't think Leeds has thought this far, but it's a good idea.

"Wait a minute! I'm not going to have you do that either!?

I just thought if we stayed together, we'd earn more. I'll buy it myself. "

"No, I think that's a good idea, right? Mr. Coe, can you do me a favor?

I don't think Luna probably thinks about revenue either. Something feels so sweet about someone who wants to be an artisan. It was the same when Leeds. It gets so sweet when the person you like is looking to be an artisan.

"I really hope so. I can buy it myself."

"Hmm... Claire, how many potions can you make a day?

"Huh? Well... maybe five or six if I used my bedtime."

"So you can sell the potion Claire made?

"Absolutely. You can take it to any guild and sell it."

You have no complaints at all. I haven't seen Claire's potion yet, but the seller is finalised and the production is more than I thought.

"I see. I think I'm good, too. I'll pay for the tools as a shared asset.

We need you to follow our rules when it comes to revenue, okay?

Claire to think about it for a while.

Our rule is that I take all the proceeds and I pay for everything I need. It's not a bad story, because weapons and protective equipment can be dealt with immediately, even if they break.

"Hey...... are you sure? I told you the amount, didn't I? You didn't get the wrong digits, did you?

"Sixty gold coins, right? I know."

"But if you take it, you can't leave the party."

This is the biggest downside to our rules. I can rub it when I leave, so there is no principle exit.

"If you don't leave all the time, you'll be fine, right? Even if you become a pharmacist, you'll have no problem if you're in the party all the time.

Because joining the fight isn't just a party. I think it's okay to have members who make potions in the city. "

Absolutely right. For some reason there seems to be an image of a party = (equals) people fighting together in this country, but can we just have members to produce? Rather, your income will stabilize.

In that case, it's a little cumbersome because I need to set up a base somewhere. I wonder if I can make a magic prop that can travel fast......

"Are you sure that's all right? I'm happy for Atashi, but Koh doesn't get anything, does he?

"If you sell the surplus potion, you can take back sixty gold coins right away. I won't lose you."

Rather, I have nothing but gain. Risk is high but a reliable source of income. And all the time.

It would be more beneficial for Claire as well. I'm going to keep offering all the tools and materials and supplies.

"Okay! I'll make it! Keep up the good work!

"I'll make sure it's not fair, but I'll take the sales. In time, I'll give you everything you need, from materials to household goods.

You make less money than you do alone, but still?

What I'm trying to do is image me like an investor and an entrepreneur. But I don't think there's a strange race like Angel Investors in this world, so it's hard to explain.

"Right...... But that means you'll manage the money and the materials, right?

Atashi, I don't like managing money. If you're gonna do it, it's gonna help the other way around. "

Speaking of which, you used to buy clothes as recommended by the clerk... Apparently, Claire is the type of person who would use it if she had it.

I'm responsible. We keep all of everyone's money. If I use it for something weird, it's gonna go broke. We need to be careful......

"Right. Well, keep it up. You can always tell me what you want."

It was thus decided that Claire would join as a full member.

I'm going to discuss it thoroughly sooner or later because it could get me involved in this.

You mean a different world summons, or an elf?... you know more than half of it. I was already involved.

Elves seem to be about the existence of legends among some magicians who made magic props, but not very well thought out in the church.

A lot of people don't know about the existence of an elf, and the church seems to be trying to deny it exists. So it's not very good to talk about elves. It's going to be a hassle with religious entanglement.

"Thank you. Nice to meet you."

"Regards"

Nice to meet you.

We exchanged greetings once again and decided to go to bed already today.

But I can't go into the woods for a while from tomorrow. I put it in the woods because I can make an excuse for an investigation. It just pisses me off when I seem to go into the woods day after day and take home the medicinal herbs.

Why don't we just go buy some potion creation tools...
