- Exploration of means to improve Garnett's combat capabilities to develop cold equipment requested by the Grey Eagle Knights.

There's a pile of things to do, but in the meantime, the original White Wolf Shop job jumps into the next.

And one of the biggest jobs I've brought in this day was Sylvia from the Inn, a relationship I've had since before I opened the store.

"Hello, Mr. Luke. May I have a moment?

"What's up, are we talking about work?

"Yes, there's something I need you to fold in."

Guide Sylvia to the back of the store with the usual sneery smile.

The same was true when Oswald from the Grey Eagle Knights, but when it gets longer to talk in the store, I always try to have a discussion in the back of the store.

In Sylvia's case, however, she often visits her living space apart from it, so she had a faint feeling that she was visiting at the request of her job.

Somehow, it's the same atmosphere my usual friends come to see me as usual.

"Uh... there was something I wanted to order in the name of Spring Young Leaf Pavilion"

"Is that Erica's medicine? After that, it's around the magic props of Noir..."

Sylvia smiled a little troubled when she handed me the purchase order she had taken out of her bag.

"A big adventurer party booked me a long stay, but they asked me to have supplies ready before I arrived. I have a corresponding surcharge, so I have no problem with that."

"I see... I feel like I've seen it, it's not like a regular lodging house procures it"

As far as purchase orders are concerned, they seem to want a set of what adventurers need, including replacements for weapons protection gear.

Food and new clothing will not be a problem at the Spring Leaf Pavilion.

However, a set of gear for members, as well as a number of other detailed tools handled by adventurers, cannot be sourced from vendors that a lodging house normally deals with.

"Mr. Luke's been an adventurer for a long time, so I thought you'd be familiar with him."

"Then you could have asked the guild house?

"But then, in the end, I feel like I'm just going from the guild to the White Wolf Store."

"Uh... sure"

Assuming that we have just asked the town's guild house for these procurements, the guild house will leave the actual procurements to the outside (...) department (...) industry (...) people (...).

When it comes to the industry (...) people who are brought in such requests in Green Hollow Town (...), it's this White Wolf store.

If it's enough to step on the hassle twice like that, it's quicker to use the edge between me and Sylvia to make a direct request.

"Okay. Can I leave the preserved food to the Spring Leaf Pavilion?

"Yes, please give me a minute that I can't handle here"

"Still, these guys... I can't believe I asked you to do this to my lodging house"

When I went through the paperwork, I was also slightly touched upon about the large party and the circumstances of it.

Apparently, they are in the process of diving into a dungeon on another land, traveling to Green Hollow on that foot where they returned after completing their exploration, resting their bodies at the Hot Springs Inn before trying the 'Ark of Elements'.

The accommodation reservation and the request for the procurement of supplies did not appear to have been brought in directly by them themselves, but were entrusted in advance to someone else so that they could arrive in line with the planned return.

Efficiency or something.

As a result of an efficient tour of the dungeon currently under attack and the "Ark of Elements," he quickly moved to Green Hollow after escape to take the inn, which seems to be a bit like an imposing army.

"Is the leader B-rank? Maybe he's in a hurry to get promoted to A-rank and try to earn merit in the short term."

"Is it okay to be so stuffed?"

"That's not good. They're planning to take a break in the hot springs, so I guess it's not without any thought... it's not on the purchase order, but let's have the potions increase their production too. You're gonna need it."

"Thank you. I knew it was nice talking to Mr. Luke."

Sylvia smiled in a hospitable manner.

It's a completely different kind of softness than the troubled laugh I just had.

Nevertheless - a B-rank adventurer of leaders leading this party, but it was a name I had never heard of.

I'm not supposed to know all adventurers either, as many adventurers as I don't, but I can still imagine a few, as of 'B-rank but I've never heard of'.

I would expect either adventurers working elsewhere, or adventurers who have recently skyrocketed their ranks.

If the former, Green Hollow Town and The Ark of Elements also became famous, I can't help but feel smug.

"I'll ask the Florence Branch Manager of the Alliance Branch later what these guys are like. It's easier to take care of if you know it in advance."

"Thank you so much for everything from what... Oh, yeah. It's completely different, but I wanted to tell you something."

Sylvia took another bunch of paperwork out of her bag as she joined hands with Pong in front of her chest.

"The residential part of the White Wolf store… I heard that Luke and Garnett were going to make a bath in their home, so I asked a lot of vendors I knew."

"Is that true? I'm sorry, I didn't ask for it."

I've been thinking about the idea of making a bath at home for a long time, but because of what Athlopolis is all about and the huge work that went on, this kind of thing hasn't progressed either.

I was just wondering if it was time to work out a plan in earnest if we were to carry it out, so Sylvia's concern is the ship over.

"I think the building work will be done at a discount if you ask where you are asking for our additions and modifications. I think Alexia's skill will make it a pretty convenient bath."

"It's nice to have a big bath, but it's a lot of trouble to walk out of town every night like this."

"Although nominally, Mr. Luke is also a Green Hollow lord. I think you can have as much luxury as this."

Look at me in trouble, Sylvia grinning.

Sure, I'm being treated like a lord in and around Green Hollow, but that's only territory as a budget source for the White Wolf Knights.

Lord, I'm not going to hit you with a hair, and even if you're asked to act like a lord, you'll have trouble.

"By the way, it's a source usage fee, don't you have to bother paying it if you're a lord? It's part of our territory, including the source."

"That's okay. That was only for the Knights budget, and it had nothing to do with the White Wolf store. Even if it's not a legal problem, it's a personal person."

"You're really serious. That's the good part."

Sylvia praised me head-on, and I somehow missed my face remembering the tickle.

Damn, I'm glad Garnett's not here on this occasion.

If he had been there, what would he have said later?
