The first stop was at the Hollow Bottom branch of the White Wolf store as planned.

Luckily...... or I don't know if there was any consideration, but the location of the branch was good fingerfolding among the branches.

Sometimes we keep the store open tomorrow, and there are already many products lined up in the store, and employees working in the branch work in preparation and rehearsal.

Natalia, the branch manager, smiled and greeted her as she entered the store from the employee entrance, not the locked front entrance.

"Good morning, Manager Luke"

"Oh, good morning. Looks like you're ready for this one."

Branch staff, led by Natalia, were preparing for tomorrow in a soothing manner.

Dorothea of the Sundial Chamber of Commerce - she has only been trained as a disciple of Sylvia's grandmother, and Natalia has gained more than that experience in running the store.

If I hadn't hired Natalia, I wouldn't have been able to calmly welcome her the day before the store opened.

"It's been a long time since you've dreamed of leading a store like this...... oh, I've told you this story before"

Natalia smiled inadvertently.

It was a topic I had heard about before, but I guess the pleasure is something that makes me want to talk about it again and again.

"That's right, Manager Luke. Yesterday, the Adventurer Guild Branch Manager made a few requests..."

"From the Florence Branch Manager?

"I'm taking notes here, but I was wondering if I could talk to you in person."

"An addition to the product lineup... I guess this guy is Erica's territory. I was gonna go say hello later, so I'll check it out then."

While Natalia and I were talking about business, Garnett and the others looked around the branch with interest.

"Is that it? Hey, Mr. Luke. This shelf, don't have a lot of products?

That's what Erica has asked me suspiciously as she peeks into the merchandise shelf next to the accounting counter.

The shelf was manufactured centrally by Erica in a corner with potions, tablets, and more.

Sure, if you ask me, it looks oddly like there are many gaps and few products.

"Actually, yesterday, the workers asked me to sell the potion. It was before the official opening, but I sold it at the discretion of the branch manager. I'll keep stock replenishment and additional orders later."

"Speaking of which, I hear yesterday was your last push for building work. How was the reputation of the product?

Natalia would naturally be asking about this, I would expect to ask.

"It was very popular. Looks like some regular people have been around for a long time, and the doctor praised you for lifting your arms again."

"Oh well... hehe..."

(...) or (...) Mm (...) Erica to seem illuminated.

The evaluation of the medicines handled at the White Wolf store will remain directly linked to Erica's evaluation.

You can't be unhappy because you were praised for your skill as a pharmacist.

"Well, suppose it's time to go next"

The next thing I know about the branch of the White Wolf store, I decide to look for Noir and Alexia who are supposed to be working somewhere in the branch.

"They're helping with the task of servicing the water around this building. I thought it was a big deal to pull in the hot springs now."

"Is it a hot spring? This is the bottom of a dungeon?

With Leila's surprised face, she asks Sakura for directions.

"Yes, there have been simple baths since the war, but they were to be renovated on a massive scale to create a full-scale bath, even if it wasn't equal to a hot spring inn on the ground…"

"But more underground than here is the 'Demon King's Castle area', isn't it? What kind of hot springs do you spring?

"That's why we're building equipment to pull in."

Sakura gave a polite explanation to Leila, who seemed to have no precise understanding.

"Alexia is a mechanical engineer from a multi-tiered city. I've never been to a multi-tiered city, but they say there are many steps of a hierarchical town piled up and treated as a high-end land as the upper tier."

"A multi-tiered city… Springfield, right?"

He has just been educated in the family lineage of the Dragon King Knights, and he was able to immediately recall the existence and official name of a multi-tiered city.

And I clap my hands at you for not saying I was convinced of everything.

"I hear that town is developing a water delivery technique to carry purified water to the upper levels and send the upper drainage to the lower levels. You're using it to bring the hot spring water back and forth to the fifth level of the Sun Clock Forest."

"Yeah, you're right. It's pretty massive, so Alexia couldn't help it, so it looks like she's invited other technicians with her handbook."

It was removed from Sakura's description, but it is not only the hot spring water supply and drainage that Alexia and the others have in place, but also the supply system for drinking water and genuine water used for cooking.

This is also a form of replacing what was temporary during the Demon King's War with something authentic that presupposes long-term use.

Walking pale down the hallway with such a conversation, Garnett accidentally stopped his leg where the hallway intersected, turning away from the direction of travel and calling me off.

"White Wolf's, there's a branch manager over there. Why don't you say hello first?"

"Florence?... That's true. Sakura, I'm sorry, but I'm rescheduling."

I will tell Sakura to go ahead and change the order to finish greeting the Branch Manager.

"Oh, what a strange place to be."

Florence noticed this one too, and she smiled and waved at us rushing over.

"I was just about to go to the branch manager's office later. I wanted to hear more about the greetings the day before the opening of the branch and the addition of product types later."

"Really? I'm sorry for the sudden favor, but I'd be happy to have you consider it positively."

"Depends on the terms. If the guild will arrange the ingredients, it will be easy to accept even this one... hey, because of this, why don't you talk to the person in charge directly"

"What!? Oh, is that me!?

Erica blushed and surprised, tense and nervous, and stepped out in front of Florence.

In the meantime, Garnett gave herself up lightly and did a serious thing about the girl who seemed bored behind Florence - her daughter Lisa.

"Hmm... no resemblance..."

... to whom, to whom.

Anyway, I tried to pack up a more detailed story with Florence. Exactly that time, when I wondered if a little wind had blown through the hallway, a little Oriental boy appeared.

"Nagi? What's going on here?"

But Nagi, neither to me nor to Sakura, raised his voice to Florence first.

"Branch Manager! It's an emergency! There was a crash in" Demon King Castle Realm "!
