Shikkaku Kara Hajimeru Nariagari Madō Shidō

On this day, Arcs was visiting a big shop that he was always welcoming.

A nobleman with his own mansion can summon a merchant, but Arks has not yet attained the title, nor is he an adult.Even if I used to be shy from everyday life, I felt that my attitude was just too big to be called in this situation, and it became a foresight visit as usual.

He was greeted by the owner of the big store, who always dealt with him.

After a light exchange of greetings with them, they are taken to the reception room.

There was a glass table and a genuine leather sofa inside, with a floral fragrance.When this person sits on the sofa, he also sits face-to-face with the owner of the large store who confirms it.

The maid who came in with him held a glass jar with red petals.

When I put my mouth on the poured water, the scent of roses spread into my mouth.

Enjoy the aftertaste of the scent for a while.

Arcs speaks to the right shopkeeper.

"Sorry. I was greeted."

"No, Arch-sama always talks about engraving.I think that you will always go out where you would have to go from here, and I feel tired. "

"I think that's too much to say."

"What are you saying!At this age, Arcus was awarded the Silver Cross Medal and has a workshop in the Magic Mentor Guild!Rather, we appreciate your continued business!

"Ah, ahh... I see.Now, if you're not light, I'll have you come to the Mansion. "

"Does that mean you're not going to be light?

"I hope so."

"That means... I hope you and Arch-sama will continue to have a good relationship."

"Oh, I wish I could do better."

When I say so, the shopkeeper who is quite wide can hang his head.

Until now, apart from trading important engraved parts, I have only been interacting with the foreman, but recently, the owner of the store has come to show his face if his hands are free.

As the store owner said earlier, it is only natural that we are developing engraving equipment in the guild.

"And then, how about selling brilliant glass with strings?

"Yes, thank you very much.Especially the bureau and the government are motivated to introduce it, and if you are a new fan of advanced aristocracy, an offer has arrived to remind the craftsman who has it. "

"Then ask them to apply for switched loyalty payments through the Arrangement Masters Guild and the Craftsmen's Guild."

"Yes, I understand."

Previously, we developed stringed sparkling glass and switched sparkling glass, but in doing so, we had the large shop serve as a point of contact for selling them.

Since the Magician's Guild does not sell products directly, it is mainstream to wholesale technology and products to trusted stores once and have some of its profits earned as loyalty.

Because advanced aristocracy is different from individual customers, it takes the form of restricting your craftsmen's production and trading and selling them by technology.Margins, such as my own and the Mage's Guild, have been taken quite a bit, but the money still seems to be coming in quite a bit.

The cheeky face of the shop owner clearly shows it.

Please continue to welcome us to the Chamber of Commerce.

The shopkeeper left the room with his waist down after thanking him and delivering him.

And then he confronted the warden again.

As always, the head is rubbed to the point where only the kneader can burn the fire.

I doubt if there are fingerprints, but that's fine.

"So, did you get what I told you?

"No, no, no, this is the first time Arks has ever wanted a gem.Is it a gift for a noble princess somewhere?

"No, it's not like that.It's a boring story, but it's always magical. "

Was that so?If you would like to give a gift, please do so at any time.We'll make sure you're satisfied. "

"Ahahah... well then, thank you very much."

Return the love laughter to the crowded head.

When I visited the store this time, I offered to show you something in advance, and that was the jewel that the foreman mistook for a gift earlier.

Find Emerald.

Remember what Chain said one day.

At that time, Chain said to himself, "Teach yourself good things."

I don't know what kind of "good" Emerald brings to me, but I wanted to get it to me first, so I called the big store.

The warden lays a cloth on the glass table and arranges the jewels on top of it.

"Firstly, the soda stones produced in the petrochemical mountains (Stone Valley).Here are the red balls, the diamonds from Zeirner.And this is the finest blue balls from Sapphireberg. "

"Oh, wow.Is that all you got?

"Yes, these will all be the gems we are dealing with"

The jewels are exposed to the sunlight from the windows, all of which are sparkling.

The colour is also vivid and clear, and seems to be of high quality.

But none of the things I was shown were the jewels I was looking for.

"Well, do you have an emerald?

"Eh...? What is it?

"Emerald, Emerald.Don't you know that green jewelry is called jade or green balls, but when you polish it, the green glow is stronger. "

"I can tell from the jade... I've been doing this job for thirty years, but I've never seen it."

"I see....."

I'm sorry I can't help you.

When I showed my sad face, the warden lowered his head to look terribly sorry.

"No, I can't help it."

"Was it Emerald?Shall we look for you?

"Oh, please. It is a green jewel different from jade.I want you to hit me from one end. "

"I understand."

After deciding on the future policy on Emerald in this way, I think again.

Indeed, I have never seen anything called Emerald before.

The word emerald itself was only heard when Chain stood on a dream pillow.

I only saw the real thing and heard its name when I followed that man's life.

Perhaps Emerald is not in general circulation in this world.

That's why she said, "Find it."

As long as it's everywhere, there's no need to look.All you have to do is tell them to get it.

Still saying that means it's hard to get it.

But if you ask me to look, I don't have a mine of my own, and I don't know what mine Emerald can take.I'll clean up the man's memory, but I don't remember reading any of the materials that describe what he said.

"... well, a letter said Giles was coming soon."

When I was worried about how to move, I remembered such a thing.

●

In a tower-shaped room that also serves as a counterpart and library at home.

There was a young man wearing a tulip hat in front of him.

The eyes are as thin as a fox, there is always a thin smile on the mouth, and the man is filled with a strange atmosphere, just enough to load up the smell of faeces.

Looking around in conversations with great gestures and gestures is to look for new business opportunities.

Traveling merchant, Giles.

Some time after the letter arrived, he appeared in the Mansion.

When I greet you, my soul is as strong as ever, such as shining my eyes on the glorious glass with strings or asking what the items in the house are.

After a brief conversation with him, Arks made merciless remarks.

"Negotiations are broken."

"Wait a minute!!

Giles stood up from the sofa and screamed when he heard a reply without an island to attach.

But this one doesn't break a hard attitude.

Holding your arms together on the sofa, keep your hard expression facing away.

"Wait, wait, wait."

"Mr. Arks, you said you'd listen to me the other day!How did that happen?!

"I told you. I told you, it's different whether we make a deal or not, right?

"I don't know...."

Yes, Gills is still an indifferent opponent to himself.

You don't know the nature, the purpose of the transaction is uncertain, and above all, you can see the part where you are talking and not getting acquainted.I can't believe you're framing us... but this is the kind of person who gets his unexpected profits with a strange face.I have to be careful because there is a risk of skin thickness on the typical side that "I didn't lie just by being silent".

In the first place, yes.

"Let me handle what I'm making?

Seya

"How much profit does that make?"

"It may take some time for the profiteer to make a profit.But promise me you'll get more connections. "

"Can you take it at my expense?But I'm an amateur.I don't know if you can explain exactly how I get more connections.If we don't get rid of it, we won't be able to make a deal. "

Sure, let me do it.

"Me, too, but what good will Gills get?

"Of course, a little profit, huh?

"That's not all, is it?

"Nah, haha"

Gills laughed with a deceptive smile.

"Did I ask you?Can you tell me?

"Mr. Arcs. If you think you can tell me anything, what's the big mistake?

Gills tries to avoid pursuit with a smile that includes it, but that doesn't work for him.

"Well, then I don't mind either."

"Ugugu...."

As long as I have no experience of business as an opportunity, I can only negotiate with patience.

Do not loosen your hand until the other person thinks it's annoying and pulls back.

Either way, we don't have to deal with Giles right now.

I felt comfortable just saying that I didn't have to be a bad person.

"Hey, Arks. Don't you promise to make money?

"That's an absolute condition, right?There's no such thing as a merchant losing money to a dealer.I need you to tell me what the profits are and what the profits are. "

"Well, it depends on how many doors you open."

"Even if it gets that much wider.Is it in my interest now?

"It's good to know a lot of people.The more friends you have, the more help you can get.At least that's what the nobles need. "

Certainly, making a lot of connections is important to the aristocrats.

By widening the horizontal connection, we will continue to use it to protect our vested interests.

But what if I were asked if it would increase with a single merchant?

Because I don't need such a connection at the moment, I can hardly find it appealing.

... this is hard to do.

I have no experience negotiating like that, so I don't really know the salt plum around here.

Besides,

(I don't trust Gills....)

Especially in these stories, I can't trust people who make money and don't lose.

It's a con artist's usual phrase that you're the only one with a good story.

The salesman he knew might hurt him, but I promise you a job.

I bet you said that in the booze seat.

Because of one case at Rustinel's warehouse, I am not a completely untrustworthy opponent, but I am still stuck in the deal.

"I thought you looked so sexy."

"I don't mind saying that.You know that, don't you? Instead, you did it on purpose.

I don't know what to do.

"Is that what this is about?That's the way it is. "

She complained to Gills, who smiled slightly.

What is this man really thinking?It makes me wonder if I really want to do business with myself if I can show such an attitude.

Then Gills said as if he had abandoned himself.

"It's kind of a ruse, but in fact, there's no such thing as a deal at all...."

"That's not true.

That's what I'm saying, I'm going to take out the stuff I've prepared.

What I put on the table was a pot of instantaneous boilers that I had made in the workshop before.

It is similar to what Godward and the others showed.

"What is this?

Momentary boiler.

"Moments? That means...."

"Ah, it doesn't spring up instantly, but it's pretty fast.This is how you pour water into the pot and put it on this table. "

Soon, hot air came out of the pot spout.

Ho!

"This is a substitute for quickly boiling hot water without using fire."

While saying that, pour water into a glass pot with tea leaves.The top of the pot was cloudy with hot air, and the tea leaves burst through the pot with a stream of poured water, and the ingredients were eventually extracted and the water was dyed high brown.

When the contents are poured into the cup, the aroma rises with the hot air.

Giles glanced at it as if he had found a treasure.

"... you can sell it now.Especially in the north, you idiot. "

"Really?

"Is that so?It's not easy to boil water in an extremely cold place. "

"That's true.With this set, can you melt the snow and use it immediately?For now, I have to adapt it to the cold specs..... "

"Stop it. Don't be so helpful.Of course, you'll be thankful on the flats. "

That's right. Even in the men's world, this product was very popular.

That's enough for the first time buyer to say that the world will change.

In this world, it can take 30 minutes to an hour just to boil water in rural areas.If the water were to boil easily, it would definitely be a popular product.

... the glorious glass with strings was to be wholesale to the big store, but at this moment, some items, such as water boilers, were to be handled at my place.

For the time being, there is a condition that these weapons are not directly connected.

"Let me see this, negotiations, break-ups, really killing."

"I only showed Gills where I was being nice.I think that's enough. "

"Ma, I don't know...."

"That's because Giles owes me for Rustinel's warehouse.Besides, if we can get this much out, we don't have to worry about weapons, right?

"Don't let me. It's more convenient for Wye."

Well, think about it till the next time you come.

"Okay. I'll get it ready for you next time.And take a closer look at the brilliant glass with strings, huh?

Ah.

After the conversation is over, I'll ask Giles again.

"... that's right.Giles, do you know Emerald?

"Eh... why?

"Emerald. Emerald"

"Come on... I've never heard of it"

I see. You don't even know Giles? "

Looking at Gills, who flickered his eyebrows worryingly, he also creased between his eyebrows.

After that, I searched the jewellery store in King's Landing several times, but I couldn't find Emerald after all.When I asked the merchants, they only replied "I've never seen" or "I don't know", and this is just a bad time.

Despite the presence of other gems, such as sapphires and rubies, and the presence of aquamarine, which has the same composition, it is still strange and irreplaceable that it is not just emeralds.

"Does that Emme matter?

"It's not important.No, I don't think so. "

"Have you seen him? What, have you seen Arks?

"Yeah, a little while ago."

"What kind of jewelry?

"It's a gem that shines green when you polish it.It's not like jade.Do you have any idea?

"Well... if you want it, I'll look for it."

"If you find him, you can.Speak up. "

... like that, Gills' first meeting was over and he was stuck with Emerald.
