"The Knights of Tsui Eye, to which you belong, are tasked with monitoring wizards throughout the continent? If you know a wizard who lives in the North and is in trouble for money, can you introduce him?

When I asked him to, Ambrose put his hand over his forehead to his mouth.

"So you want to request subcontracting of production. Sure, if I just let those two do it, I'm gonna be out of touch with the rest of the work"

"Originally, the wizard is a researcher, who makes magic props for the money flow and sells them... so I was wondering if you could make us what we asked for."

"Normally I make what I wanted to make and go sell it... Hmm..."

Although only indirectly, he thinks he could have acquired quite a bit of knowledge of the wizard and how to engage with society.

He said that pulling into workshops and hiding places to explore witchcraft is the true masterpiece of most wizards.

But what is called 'research' is something that costs money no matter what genre it is.

So many wizards use subskills of [magic prop making] to make magic props and sell them.

This is how most of the magic props that line the market were distributed and are only products of the side industry.

The reason the White Wolf Store is able to provide a stable supply of demonic props is, for one thing, the existence of a noir whose main business is manufacturing rather than research.

"It's in my hands, to be honest, to look for a wizard who's conveniently free. I'm only talking about if the Cui-Eye Knights think it's okay to cooperate..."

"... I see, interesting"

Ambrose leaked a voice-colored voice of interest.

"As things stand, demonic prop production is just done by each one of us as he pleases. But that's not why I have to. Efficiency was just out of interest because it would suffice if we could make the immediate funds"

Mismatch between demand and supply, so to speak.

By analogy, there is no equivalent of an Adventurer Alliance, and it's like each individual Adventurer is looking for a job independently to earn money for each adventure.

Demand for a job like this doesn't necessarily reach the right supplier for the job, and vice versa.

Demand will not be properly met, and the supplier side will also be able to grasp only the range of demand examined on its own, and it will be cut off as sufficient if it is able to make a minimum amount of money in that state.

"But why is the Northern Wizard exclusive?

"Well, if you source and manufacture materials locally, you'll save on transportation costs."

"Hmm, sure it does, too"

Ambrose thought about it for a while before responding with interest.

"There are three main reasons why wizards dye their hands at illegal activities. If the research purpose itself is illegal and the research methods and means of material procurement are illegal… and if you have difficulty in funding and dyeing your hands with crime"

"The Cui Eye Knights are part of their job to prevent it."

"Therefore, it is part of our job to find out the financial stability… there was no system to lend a hand here yet. Can it help reduce the amount of trouble..."

The ancestors who founded the Adventurer Guild may have moved into action with the same idea for a moment.

Without a guild broker, I wouldn't have been able to continue an adventurer for fifteen years.

"Got it. It's not up to me to decide on my own, but I'll ask the main team to consult with the Grey Eagle. I'm sure the other side will be interested in getting on, so the question is whether the upper management here will be convinced."

"Thanks, that'll help."

"It should be necessary to engage in careful consultation, such as the handling of information, beyond becoming cooperation as a knighthood. In some cases, the Grey Eagle Knights."

"I know. I'm taking it with me when I'm ready."

Previously, I went on for a long time in a situation where only Noir could make magic props, which was to put an extra burden on me.

So this time, I thought I'd hit my hand in advance before things got worse.

Garnett, who had shut me up to stay out of the way, opens his mouth just when he got a flash of understanding.

"Sure, the upper echelons of Cui Eye were more or less ordinary knights. That would seem extraordinarily easier than negotiating with a wizard."

"I agree with you even as I am. Honestly, regular knights are easier and more helpful than their peers."

"You don't. If I think about all your kind, I'm gonna look better about the knights."

Both Garnett and Ambrose are rhetoric that we can't clothe each other in the teeth, but we can't feel malicious or hostile.

You mean we recognize each other as someone we don't mind dealing with without hesitation?

It's a pleasure for my knights to break it off, but I didn't feel like they were the product of a common perception that they wouldn't mind handling it clutterfully rather than being friendly in these two cases.

Well, the truth is, we don't know unless we ask them.

"Nevertheless, it's going to be interesting"

Under a frontal overhang that hides his face, Ambrose leaks a laughing breath.

"More than twenty years after His Majesty the King's reign. Approximately ten years after the establishment of each Knights. We're finally on track to run the organization, but they still have room to change it."

"Heh? Even wizards show interest besides magic research."

"If you're not interested, you're not joining the Knights."

As Ambrose turned toward the dining room, Sylvia just rushed over and handed him a lunch put in a lidded container.

Now we're finally ready, that doesn't seem like it.

Though I was so ready myself, I guess you've been waiting a while for me to realize that Ambrose and I are talking about work.

"Well, from what I've been told, I've apparently gained some trust as a member of the team. I'll let you work to the point where I won't let you down."

Ambrose walks away with his heel back.

Me and Garnett saw each other off after that.

"... isn't it better than when you were suspicious?

"In the end, it looks like he was just doing what he could do."

Behind the wind and words and deeds that only seemed suspicious, Ambrose seemed to be just trying to help us and our friend Valentine by himself.

As I told Garnett earlier, it's not like he's only interested in magic or anything.

From now on, maybe I can count on you as one of the members - I thought that again.
