Lesson 143: Lower Vampires and the Chamber of Commerce

"Then come with care. A merchant doesn't have a clue."

That's what I'm saying, Lorraine drops me off.

"Oh. I know enough..."

Even when I was human, I had talked to the merchants at the big stores a few times about getting valuable items.

That's why I said, Lorraine shook her head,

"It's not what it used to be. You are a precious thing in itself. Be careful you're going to have about a hundred pieces of white gold."

That's what I said.

Well...... sure you do.

If the vampire "Vampire" were in front of you, it would be a capture or exorcism for now, and if you were a merchant, you would move in a straight line of capture.

They can also have strong handouts with armed adventurers in relation to escorts and such, and I'm pretty sure it sucks when they call them that.

I tightened my mind that I had to be very careful.

... I didn't mean to be unwary.

More than I thought, that's all.

"Okay...... bye"

So I waved to Lorraine and rolled out to the city.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

The main office of the Steno Chamber of Commerce, which is present in a prominent position along the boulevard, is quite large, with only the Chamber of Commerce, which is quicker to count from above in the boulder city.

It seems to be a five-story stone building with upstairs as the shop section and above that, the chamber of commerce offices and warehouses.

There are always people in and out of the store, and I can understand at a glance how the customer's feet are endless.

From groceries to tools for adventurers, the customer base was colorful.

Well, I'm pretty floating among them... because the robe doesn't have that many masks anyway.

Not at all, but no one wears a flashy mask painted on a boulder.

I hear that the majority of them put it on because they can't show their faces directly due to injuries, burns, etc., and that many people tend to be a little overwhelmed by such circumstances, and that flashy masks tend to be distant.

Still, some people rarely wear masks that are so flashy, but this time they can be flashy even in their outfits.

The robe is tailored, but the mask is flashy, so I'm obvious.

That doesn't mean anything...... once again when I stand in front of the entrance to these big stores all over the city during the day like this, can I come in fulfilled? I feel that.

That's all I've been doing at night, early mornings and even during the day for a discreet amount of time with very few crowds. For me, this kind of crowd is something I haven't tasted in a long time, and I get nervous about how it works there or if there's anything weird about how it behaves.

Perhaps this is still better before the earth dragon... No, I don't think so.

I went into the store of the Steno Chamber of Commerce and told myself, "Lent, don't be frightened by the crowd."

"Welcome, sir. How can I help you today?"

Almost at the same time as I walked into the store, a skinny man with a familiar atmosphere quickly stopped by and asked me that.

Even though I didn't run, its speed is so fast that I'm likely to mistake it for that of the adventurer.

I think the quality of the employees who work in boulders and big stores is different.

It would be more comfortable for me to come into the store around here... but I might be more comfortable with this if I were to buy luxury items.

I have a familiar atmosphere that seems to make all the right choices if I leave it to you.

Well, you wouldn't be able to say that if you were to be pushed into stock, but you would also understand that if you did that, with this many stores, your customer legs would escape later.

"Oh... uh, I'm a guy named Lent Vivier. In the meantime, I brought the tarasks..."

At the time I named him, there was a convincing look on the man's face, and as soon as I cut the word,

"I'm asking. This way, please."

So he led me to the back of the store.

He uses a lift to lead me upstairs that hits the office part, not the store part.

"... Haven't been here lately, but you even have this stuff"

When I saw the lift and I was surprised to say so, the man said,

"Yes, I recently introduced it... It is at the hands of the magician of Wangdu, and in this malt it is only in our shop. But have you ever been to our store? Excuse me, when...?

Wang Du's magic craftsman?

The lift is as much as I've read in Lorraine's book before, and this is the first time I've seen the real thing.

It seems to have been developed by Western technology, and I was wondering when it would come into Yarlan, but they had already come in.

Are there many shops in Wangdu that come here to Malt, the border of the border?

No, but maybe it's not that popular to say that you can't make it without the artisans of the King's Capital.

Is there such a place as a facility for showing sales ability in this store?

Also, he's probably asking when I came because this guy remembers the faces and names of the majority of his guests.

Speaking of me, I don't even know which clerk I talked to and shopped with, but if I can't do that, I might be disqualified as a clerk in this store.

But that question bothers me.

I decided to keep it properly misleading.

"... I wonder when. Maybe I'm mistaken for another store. I'm here to buy a malt honoki..."

"Oh, if that's you, you must be from the Wita Chamber of Commerce. Because there are many good quality products for adventurers. Of course, we're not going to lose either."

I was told.

The Malt Honoki leaves are certainly items sold to the Wita Chamber of Commerce, which is said to be Malt's first chamber of commerce, and are not found in this Steno Chamber of Commerce.

Of course, that's what I dared say.

Seems the man's convinced, and I'm relieved.

By the way, that's not a lot of money, and whether you sell it or not varies from store to store.

It's a must for us adventurers, so the Wita Chamber of Commerce has been selling it for a long time, but the impression there is so strong that the other Chambers aren't trying to sell it much.

Purchasing is also easy because it grows around there, but I guess it doesn't make sense because it generally goes to the Wita Chamber of Commerce.

It means visiting with other products.

In fact, with enough customers coming, I guess that's not a problem.

"... you're here. This is our fifth floor. The reception room is here..."

As he got off the lift, the man, again, took the lead and started walking.

And stop in front of one luxurious wooden looking door.

... looks fancy, isn't it? It would be fancy.

Anyway, it's quite finely decorated, and the knob is made of silver.

Are you in the mood because it's the reception room, or is that all you make money......

Either way.

"Okay, go ahead."

opened the door and was prompted to go inside, so I enter the room.

Then the man came in, too, and closed the door.

Then,

"Come here."

and was recommended a sofa, and further brought a set of tea utensils from the shelves in the room, and put them out in front of me with graceful tricks.

The warm fragrance spreads.

"It is black tea that we buy from you. If you don't mind, join us for this tea contract. I'm going to call my husband, so in the meantime, enjoy."

That said, the man bowed his head deeply and left the room behind.

"... oh, that's good. And sweets over here."

When I was not hesitant to eat, the door knocked, so I hurried to put the tea set aside as a scarecrow and said with great care to sound as calm as I could.

"... go ahead"
