Price of Management

1,500 Redina from my father when I was a free man.

1,410 Redina, minus the cost of getting a commercial office and lodging accommodations, healing potions, Dean mercenaries, and other miscellaneous expenses on Hansen's salary. With 500 Redinas for the purchase of Spirit Stones, 910 Redinas.

I borrowed 4,500 from my father here.

I just sold 900 Redina Ogre corpses.

A total of 6,310 Redinas were in my hands.

As satisfied as I was with the corpse of the ogre, the owl asked.

“Then let's get your business out of the way. Maybe it was just the mistress who came to see me. ”

I nodded my head and decided to get to the point.

“I want to buy wheat. They say there's the most wheat in the order of the hoodies. ”

“Do you want to buy wheat? How much? You sold me the Ogre you wanted, and I'll give it to you for cheap. ”

The hoodie was shimmering.

I can see right through him.

There has been no major famine on the continent for five years. He was stockpiling some food for each territory.

So what about the Duke of Houdini, the largest grain cellar in the Kingdom of Leaden?

There's a lot of wheat in every storehouse, and I can't get rid of it because there's nothing to sell. You can't just rot in a warehouse, and you can't just throw it away.

However, if I said I wanted to buy wheat because I was fucked, I would think it would be great.

“For now, I'd like to buy about 5,000 sacks. ”

In fact, I plan to buy more, but I called less.

“Huh, so much? ”

The hoodie's complexion brightens.

“Only 40 silver per sack is the current price of wheat. I'll give you 30 silver in particular. ”

Fifty thousand sacks of 30 silver means 150,000 silver, or 1,500 Redina. Wheat prices are cheaper considering 60 silver, but it's a time when wheat prices have plummeted.

You can call it cheaper.

“To tell you the truth, I'm going to buy as much wheat as I can. If you pay 25 silver for each sack, I will buy 15,000 sacks. ”

“15,000 sacks? Hmm... ”

Marquis Houdini looks troubled and conflicted.

No, I pretend to be in conflict. Who are you fooling?

“That's too cheap. But if you buy 20,000 sacks, I'll give you that price. What do you think?”

Twenty thousand bags of 25 silver, that's 5,000 Redinas.

“How about 30,000 sacks of 20 silver each? ”

After reaching 30,000 sacks, the look on his face was conflicting. That's real conflict.

“On the condition of buying 30,000 sacks, it's 21 silver. ”

Thirty thousand sacks times 21 silver, that's 6,300. It's almost all my property.

No, no, no.

We need more money to secure herbs for the next year's epidemic.

“Instead of buying 30,000 sacks, I will pay 4,000 Redinas upfront and an additional 3,000 Redinas by next winter. ”

“Instead of buying 40,000 sacks, pay 5,000 Redinas upfront and 5,000 more Redinas by winter next year. ”

Bird of Hoodini and my eyes clashed together.

I'll have to dispose of 40,000 sacks of stock.I 'll have to calculate the interest.

Well, the more you buy, the better I'll be. I know there's a big famine coming next year.

“Very well.”

“Your young friend is at peace. ”

Birch Hoodini and I shook hands laughing.

The old butler came and handed out the contract. When I signed there, the deal ended.

“How are you going to take 40,000 sacks of wheat? ”

“Your father agreed to help me with that. ”

“I see. Then I'll stand up and discuss the payment with the steward. ”

“I understand.”

I politely greeted him, and Baron Houdini left with a pleasant gait.

Ah-ha-ha, your ex-fiancé. You feel better now that you've emptied your stocks, right?

By next year, you'll regret selling 40,000 sacks.

The old steward took care of the payment for me.

I paid only 2,000 Redinas for the Ogre except 3,000 Redinas. It was a debt because I had to pay 5,000 more Redinas before winter ended next year.

If Brother Arthur knew, he would feed the next kick to see if there was such a nice guy.

After the payment was made, the old steward met me leaving. However, it was when I came out of the hall according to the steward's instructions.

I encountered a woman in a white dress in a beautiful garden with red roses.

At that moment, I was stiffened.

A blonde with black feathers and rolled up braids. A white dress with a fluffy lace design. Red lips, provocative eyes.

She was as ugly as Sis, but quite a pretty woman.

I think I'm in my late teens.

Seventeen, to be exact.

“Oh, hello. ”

She's the fifth infantryman of the writer, Houdini. She is my wife before my regression.

I felt like I was living with my wife for about 20 years after I got married, and then I saw my wife who had been separated badly...... That was weird.

A few happy memories with her, a son between the two, more bitter memories than memories……. Everything that had never happened, we were facing each other.

After she got married, she was smiling brightly, a smile she had never shown.

“Greetings, my dear Duke Houdini. ”

“Oh, you know me? ”

“Rumor has it that the writer Hoodini has a mystical beauty, which probably means Lady. ”

“Oh my gosh, that's flattering. ”

Ray with a red smile on his face.

Haha. That woman had a cute corner back then. So I got married without a clue. Of course, there was a good family....

“You must like flowers. ”

“Yes, it's a hobby of mine. ”

I almost laughed at her shameful talk. You're lying!

“Of course.”

I kept walking along with the butler, looking stiff. I felt her regretful gaze, but I walked without looking back.

That's how we part ways.

Goodbye, old wife Yang. Please be happy to meet a man with much more money and generosity than me. I'll be a hundred times happier when I meet a beautiful and decent woman.

For example, a wizard girl with blue hair who's as shameless as an idiot... Hmm!

Outside the front door of the mansion, two wagons were already finishing their fares. I can't see if the ogre's soldiers have already taken it.

“Take a look. ”

I got into the wagon with the old butler's farewell from the carriage. The wagon slowly left my widow before my return.

“Are you ready to go? ”

I shake my head at Dean's question.

“I'm tired of camping all the time, but why don't you rest here today? ”

“Very well. Would you like to go to the inn I know? I know an inn that cooks well. ”

“Good.”

After arriving shortly, the inn was marked "Golden Meadow Inn." It was a fairly large inn with space for a wagon.

“Welcome! What can I get you?”

The mistress welcomed me.

“Two for one, five for one. A meal is six beers and a pork loaf. I'll eat in my room, so bring it to five. ”

“Yes, I understand! ”

After being vigorous, the owner handed over the room key.

“Let's go to your room. I will also distribute the money for selling Ogres. ”

“Yes.”

I decided to eat in my room because I couldn't pay for it in a crowded place.

The rooms were shared between me and cis and the other five. I borrowed the room because of Hansen's snoring.

We sat together in a five-person room. It's been a long time since I had so many customers.

The smell of roasting pig breathers made everyone drool.

I'm surprised that expressionless cis drooled and was captivated by the pig vents. You had a weakness for food.

“Well, first of all... ”

Whoo-hoo! This is so lame!

Before I could finish, Sis began to tear the tubes apart.

“... Let's eat first. ”

“Old!”

After another week of camping, I couldn't eat properly, so I confronted the pig's coop like a beast.

The sheath knives and forks for precise cutting and stamping of the vents made Expert come alive. Those mercenaries with Sis, are they starving their children?

Probably lived in poverty since he was a kid. Even in the Magic Guild, they must have been aware of others because of their identity. I would never have eaten it with peace of mind.

I pitied cis.

“Can I get you some more food? ”

In my question, Sis nodded. He was still expressionless, but his eyes seemed a little shinier.

“Then let's order six more chicken stews. ”

“Don't you need another round of beer? ”

Dean shakes his empty beer and says playfully.

“Fine, I'll shoot. Eat and drink in peace. ”

The group cheers.

I looked at Hansen. Hansen noticed my gaze and tilted his head as if to ask why.

“Go order. ”

“…… Yes. ”

Hansen rises up, mumbling something. That son of a bitch is getting more and more open-minded every day.

I'll take it from here.

After that frenzied meal, we decided to split the money from the Ogre carcasses.

“Anyone want to guess how much the ogre sold for? ”

Dean cautiously said my question.

“1,000 Redina? ”

“Ding.”

“1,500 Redina?”

Mark said.

“Ding.”

“2,000 Redina! ”

“900 Redina?”

“Ding, Ding. It's all wrong. ”

I took out a sack of gold coins. Everyone was fascinated by the pile of gold coins.

“3,000 Redinas! Praise the Lord! ”

“Wow!”

“Three thousand?! ”

“Lies!”

“So much! ”

The Dean Mercenaries and Hansen are appalled. Sis opened her eyes wide. Oh, those surprised faces. It's worth coming back from a hard bargain.

The Dean mercenaries divided the four by 300, me and cis by 900.

Dean foolishly touches 300 Redinas of gold piled up in front of him.

“Master...... Do you remember? when we got out and formed a mercenary army together. ”

I asked Hans with a trembling voice.

“Of course. We said we'd quit our jobs if we collected 200 Reddinas each. ”

“This is 300 Redina! There are 100 more Redinas than our goal! ”

Mark shouts in an excited voice.

“Ahh... This is a dream! With this money, you can settle down and live! ”

“Buy a farm, buy a wife.... ”

“Hey Hans, you think you can get up early every morning and do some sincere stuff to pick up the field? ”

“What is it, Mark? What are you gonna do about it? ”

“I'm a bar. ”

“Kuhaha! I imagine a mad tavern owner who gets drunk and fights with customers. ”

“Do you want to die? ”

“What? Come on! ”

Mark and Hans clung together. Lex laughs and watches you die.

Dean told me in a wacky atmosphere.

“Thank you very much. Duke Carrock.You 're the reason I made so much money surviving Ogres. ”

“Well, if it wasn't for you, I'd be an ogre food, too. Everyone deserves that money. Congratulations."

“Thank you."

The Dean mercenaries were overwhelmed. He also fulfilled his dream of living with the risk of not knowing when he would die for a long time, and I envied those who could be so happy at 300 Redinas.

Sis, on the other hand, just blinked at Redina, who was piled up.

“Aren't you glad? ”

“ ……. ”

Sis said nothing. But I could easily see that she was embarrassed.

I was struck by 900 Redina's silver bolt in a life I had never held a gold coin before, so I was dumbstruck. Probably not realistic

Well, you'll get used to it soon enough.

“What are you going to do now? ”

I asked Dean's group.

“I don't know. I might disband the mercenaries after this quest." Retire. Retire. ”

Dean looks around and answers Lex, Mark and Hans.

Rex asks Dean.

“Don't you retire, Master? ”

“I... I don't know. I don't know what to do when I stop living this life. I never let my spear out of my hands after volunteering when I was 15, unlike the rest of you who were forced into forced entry. ”

“Then I'll stay with the commander in the Mercenary Corps. ”

Dean shakes his head at Rex's words.

“What are you talking about. The sooner we start a new life, the better. Don't hesitate because of me. ”

“No. He's Hans. He's a farmer, so he can build a farm, and Mark can build a bar on my terms, but I'm not sure what I'm going to do if I put my weapons down. I'll go after the Master for a while. ”

“Hmph, you idiot. ”

Dean snorts, but is pleased to hear that Inner Rex is staying with him.

I asked him.

“Then why don't you do one more job after the quest? ”

“What kind of work? ”

“Winter is coming. ”

Dean immediately understood what I meant.

“Monster hunting. ”

“Yes. How about handing out monster byproducts in bulk? ”

At this time of the year, from late fall to winter, monsters start to panic. It's because they're trying to get their nutrition for the cold winter.

So at this time, Father and Brother Arthur are always exterminating monsters, but I thought I should help because I had a lot of help.

And I have a plan.

Dean opens his mouth after considering it.

“I promised that if I gathered more than 200 Redinas, I wouldn't know when to die.... ”

He laughed and said.

“I don't think I'd die for anything with Confucius Caroc. Good.”

“Thank you.”

I held hands with Dean.

Dean still looks at the pile of money foolishly.

“Wizard.”

“ ……? ”

As cis looks at you, Dean says,

“You come with us. ”

“…… Why? ”

“Don't you know he's got a big pile of money in front of him and he's confused about what to do next? ”

“ ……. ”

Sis became deaf and dumb with honey.

“Come with us until you remember what you want to do. Of course, you don't have to write your contract. ”

She hesitates a little, but soon nods. If Dean was trustworthy, he would have thought we could work together.

I didn't want to break up with cis, but I thought it was good.

You can't just let a pretty girl like that go, can you? Heheheh heh.

The next day, we took the wagon and set out for Baron Kunt.

I close the deal, and the rest of my money is 1,310 Redina. No, it's 1,309 Redina.

The group ate too much yesterday.
