The next morning, after breakfast, I head to the Adventurers Guild with my sister.

The Alliance is so full of people and so much enthusiasm. We go around in the crowd looking at the requests, but all of them are still like I can't do, and all I could possibly do was get a very cheap job with a reward of about 1,000 astr.

But today's fate is not that.

The majority of the requests have been ordered and I speak to the same sister as yesterday in anticipation of the reception starting to be vacant.

"Um, I need to ask you a few questions."

"Ah, yesterday's. Yes, what is it?

They respond with a dazzling sales smile.

"Samples of fruit and mushrooms with a permanent collection request... I'd like a sample if I had one."

"Is that a sample? Yes, you still have what you bought yesterday."

Once Mr. Ellis pulls into the back, he comes back with a bag.

"There are five permanent collection requests out there, in turn: 1400 Astres of Fran Flowers, 800 Astres of Tsuma Mushrooms, 300 Astres of Toe Nuts, 100 Astres of Togiri Grass, and 10 Astres of Kiyo Nuts."

Arranged on the counter were little orange flowers, mushrooms like matsutaques, peachy fruits, just grass no matter how you look at it, and nuts like a little chopped off both ends of a rugby ball.

Do you actually recognize the last one?

"The franc flowers are dried and spiced, the knob mushrooms and tow fruit are actually luxury ingredients, the togiri grass is medicinal ingredients, the kiyo fruit is actually cracked and the contents are used as livestock bait, and the shell is a simple container, so if you are going to collect it, consider the use and be careful with handling it. The purchase price is a reference value, because poor quality makes it cheaper. On the contrary, we will buy high-quality items at a high price."

Yeah, I remember. It was Kiyo's fruit that contained the juice I bought yesterday at the stall. I see, the more you cut it up and down, the more you crack it vertically, the more you replace the plate. That's convenient.

But at 10 astr apiece at this size, it doesn't seem like a big profit.

"Excuse me, can I have them sell one by one other than kiyo fruit?

"I don't mind. At 2100 Astres, 1200 Astres, 450 Astres and 150 Astres each, uh...... that would total 3900 Astres are you sure?

Sales increased by only 50% of purchases. Sort of a price for conscience, huh?

When you pay to receive the item, you return to the inn in a straight line. My sister looked strange, but you trust me, you follow me in silence. I hope it turns out to meet trust......

When I return to the inn, I catch Lynne, who was cleaning, and show her what she bought.

"Hey, Lynne, what do you know about this?

"Ah, yes. This is tho fruit, isn't it delicious? This is togiri grass, a medicinal herb to put on a little scratch. This is a knob mushroom, the scent is unique and I'm a little bad at it. This is Fran's flower, I'll use it to dye the cloth."

All of a sudden I was confused, Lynne, but she gave me the answer I expected.

"Lynne, if we go to the woods, can we find this?

"Er... it would be difficult because togiri grass is something that grows in the meadows, not in the woods, but if it's something else"

Ooh, grass is the cheapest of these, so no problem.

"Well, why don't you come pick this up with us tomorrow? Of course I'll thank you."

"That's... because I have an inn job..."

"I'll negotiate with you. Hey, please!

"Yes. If your husband will forgive me..."

"Thanks! Oh, I'll give it to Lynne because the togiri grass seems to work on the wound. Eat the toe fruit if you like."

I felt like I pushed it half hard, but Linne's consent was attached. And then there's that old lady.

We go out of town again and buy five 5000 Astres a bottle of fine liquor. All right, let's do it!

... Now we are confronted by an old woman who owns Lynne. My sister tried to leave me in her room, but she didn't want to leave me, so she's hiding behind and shivering. You look like a little animal and a little cute.

I cut out a horrible story to an old woman who smells like alcohol from daylight.

"Um, I need a favor..."

With that said, take out two bottles of alcohol and put them in front of the old lady.

Make sure the old woman's eyes have changed color and get right to the point.

"Actually, I'd like to borrow Lynne for one day tomorrow. Of course, I'll pay the right price."

To my offer, the old lady turns a surprise (a lot) gaze.

"I don't mind if we have a few customers right now, but what are you going to do with them?

"Well, there's something I need you to do."

In vague response, my old lady's eyes look at me more and more frigid.

"Are you a sex offender?"

"Ski stuff?

"It means you're a pervert with a hobby for offending animals. Well, anyway, I'd like to lend it to you, but you'll have trouble breaking it."

It took me a little while to realize that 'animal' meant Lynne. I don't like it.

"I promise to return it with proper five-body satisfaction. I won't hurt you."

With that said, serve another extra bottle of alcohol.

"Well, whatever the scratches are, if only I could do my job right. Well, how about $5,000 a day for a million in deposits?

Deposit money is protection when I kill Lynne. I guess that means the price of Lynne's life. I think it's too cheap, but it's not enough in my hand right now.

"I don't have enough hands right now. Can't I ask for a deposit of 400,000? I'll pay you 10,000 a day instead."

Pricing deposits creates suspicion, so negotiate honestly while serving a fourth bottle of alcohol.

"... okay, it's settled"

The old woman gave me a light drink of the terms. My eyes are totally going to alcohol. Alcohol. This.

"But you can't give me the collar screws with that amount."

Collar screws......? Oh, you mean Zenmai that Lynne said before. It's not about taking Lynne away, so that's fine.

The old woman grins with a niggle when she gives her 410,000 astols on the spot and also presents the remaining bottle of alcohol that has become surplus. My toothless mouth is creepy.

"Holla, it's a chain for going out."

cold, zcilli and heavy chains are passed.

"I don't mind letting you serve me, but if you're serious about fucking me, watch out for the church guys. They're so loud around here."

Apparently they think I'm a pervert of a bestiality hobby, I'm nauseated. Lynne is being treated like an animal.

Either way, now all the necessary conditions have been met. The rest depends on what happens tomorrow.

My sister probably felt uncomfortable too. Gently promote (though) you have the hostile look you see for the first time, and go back to your room.

I decided to have dinner with Lynne today and talk about my plans for tomorrow, wipe my body and go to bed early...
