Survival in Another World With My Master
Episode 302: Dinner
"Well, while we were dealing with the shady bastards of the Holy King's Land and the bees, Mr. Koske enjoyed a nostalgic date with Ifrita."
"No, it's not. It's not."
The night I visited the Merchants' Union and Adventurers Guild with Ifrita. I was thoroughly entangled in Merti's seat after dinner. Literally in a physical sense. I'm not a stuffed animal, so please don't hug my neck. My face and head are happy when buried in Merti's tits, but they are too powerful and more dangerous than happiness.
"Merty, treat me gently."
We treat it gently...
Ugh
That's a lie! I'm strangled right now!
Sylvie keeps her upper body in my lap while the alcohol burns her face. Today's discussion with the Holy King seemed very stressful for both of us.
"I'm serious. Listen carefully."
"Nh, I'm listening."
"That's what Isla is cheating about."
"Yes, always show me the good stuff."
"Just the two of you. So, have you seen the Commercial Union and the Adventurers Guild and thought about all that?
He kicks Sylvie and Isla in a whining, and Isla is in a listening position. I knew I could count on Isla.
"Well, I mean, yes. It's good to be freed from slavery, but it's tough for the sub-people who don't get a decent job. I don't think this is going to happen soon, but if we don't do something right now, it's going to resonate later."
"I know that's with us. I am working on street maintenance and security through the Adventurers Guild, and I am also joining the Merchants' Union to boost domestic and international transactions."
"Yeah, that's probably true, but in fact, it didn't seem to have produced much. So I've been asking a lot of questions in the field."
Sylvie and Merty were still hugging me and occupying my lap, but they were in a position to listen.
"I mean, in summary, there are a lot of people who don't even have a job and can't even prepare for it."
"Yeah? What do you mean?
"Many of these adventurer guilds have finally earned enough money to survive the day, and they can't even have the minimum equipment to maintain the streets, guard them, or even escort the traders. It seems like you don't have clothes to go shopping, even if you're going to go shopping outside the house. I mean, there's no money to buy clothes."
"So you're saying you can't provide weapons or equipment?
"That was before that. It's kind of hard to get water bags and portable food to get out of here, bags to put them in, and stuff like that."
In fact, most of the people who had been camped in the Adventurers Guild since daylight were like that. I can finally eat at the last minute every day. A wild inn that is not suitable for work if it is bad. On the contrary, they were so horrible that they couldn't even eat mess.
"Then we can only get jobs that end soon in the city."
"That's what I'm talking about. There were a lot of people who said they could only carry cargo around the city and do a little light work because they couldn't get all the equipment."
"... it's more serious than I thought. But we can't just give charity to those who say so."
"That's right. If you sign up for the Adventurer Alliance and you get a small sum of money to equip yourself, people who aren't going to act as adventurers may try to reach the Adventurer Alliance and grab the small money."
"Well, it's a little different to give preferential treatment. That's why I'd like to suggest that you give the Adventurer Alliance some money to start a support system.
"Support system. Do you lend money to these people? I don't think he's coming back."
Yeah, Isla's right. I think so, too. Even if you give a small amount of money to someone who is being hunted down without eating or eating, it is quite likely that they will spend it on something else.
"Pay the equipment, not the money directly. We'll give you a set of gear stamped with the Adventurer Alliance's Mark to deduct some of the rewards the Adventurer will receive for completing the request."
"If you're eating or not eating, will they sell the equipment and turn it into money?
"I think it would be fine if the equipment were stamped with the Adventurer Guild supplies. We will also distribute food tickets at the same time."
"Food tickets?
"If you give a food ticket issued by the Adventurers Guild to a restaurant or hotel that you've contracted as a food ticket dealer, you can eat mess without paying for it. The restaurant or inn that receives the food ticket should be able to receive the money if you take the food ticket to the Adventurer Guild or the Hall. The advantage of the store is that it has the potential to attract customers in the future, and the name value of the Adventurers Guild becoming a country recognized and trusted store."
"Hmm... that's interesting, but it's quite a hassle. There must also be vetting criteria, and the question is whether to do it under national jurisdiction or under the jurisdiction of the Adventurers Guild. I'm talking about a possible interest."
It would certainly be a bit of an advantage. Food ticket dealers will kill eating and non-eating adventurers, and if such adventurers come, they will only be able to earn money in the Adventurer Alliance and the Bureau. Accreditation as a dealer would in itself be a kind of interest, and the accredited organization - in this case, the Adventurer Guild or the relevant department of the bureau - would have an interest.
If the bureau explains the new department, there will be so many more posts, and it will also be one of the interests.
"Fine tuning, round throwing."
"Are you angry?
"No, no, I think it's an ant to throw a round at the Adventurer Guild. In a way, it would expand the authority of the Adventurer Alliance, and would increase the number of posts in the Adventurer Alliance? The state should give some grants, fill up the details and measure it well. Wouldn't it be nice for a female to approve and pay when the plan is somewhat boiled down?
"Hmm...."
Merty thought about my proposal. Perhaps Merti's position is that the state has the final authority, and it would be okay if tax revenues from the Adventurer Alliance were increased over and above the grants that he pays.
The question is, what do we do with the people we split there?
"I'll work as a liaison with the Adventurers Guild. It's all out of the question, and above all, the Holy Kingdom-related talks are free of hubs."
"Isn't there another malice that keeps Koske away from the Holy Kingdoms?
"I know, but even though Sylphie and the others are working, it doesn't suit me. I want you to know that I want to do something for the kingdom of Merinard."
"Nuu... that's what they say."
"It is good that Mr. Koske will move, but the financial resources are...."
Answer Merti's question with the source stone of the jewel sandwiched between his left finger and the mythrill ingot on his right hand.
"Um, if you sprinkle it too much, it will cause a price collapse, so I'd like you to do it a little longer."
"Well, there's a way for me to make and supply the stuff that the Adventurers Guild gives me."
"That would damage the industry in and around Merlinesburg, so please stop. Okay, here's the financial resources..."
"Oh, and you deposited a lot of money with the Merchants Union for investment."
I have to go to the merchants' union to talk about it. Hey, I've got a lot to do.
"Koske, come on. If you do that on your own, you'll be in trouble with me too.
"Relax."
Merty picks up my cheeks with a powerful smile on his face. I apologize. Please forgive me! When Merty pulls her cheek, it's not a joke, it's a thousand pieces of cheek meat!
"Hah... I won't say any more because it's too late, but I really beg you.
"I didn't have any money to let go...."
"That's the problem. Merty?"
"Yes, I don't know if I can prepare enough money as a royal gift, but I'll take it out of the national treasury to some extent... or almost all the money Mr. Koske earned in the first place."
"After all, we're all over Koske... don't do that, don't do this, don't spend your money, don't use your abilities, we're not in a position to say that."
As Silfi's tension suddenly began to drop, she stroked her head on her lap. Hmm, I'm not tired of touching this rough touch many times. If you wash your hair too much, your hair will get messy, so let's do it moderately.
"Don't say that. Hold it, hold it, that's good."
"Yeah."
"Isn't it strange that Isla replied?
"The early winner wins. More than that, Koske."
Yeah?
When I looked at Isla, her eyes were very clear. Nande?
"If you want to study magic, you need me."
Um, Isla seems busy...
I'm here.
No...
I'm here.
Aila's big eyes are getting cloudier and cloudier. To be honest, I'm pretty scared.
Yes, I'd like you to teach me, too, Isla.
"That's fine."
Ira nodded satisfactorily when I begged her to lose. Apparently, I will learn magic from both teachers. Looks like this won't be boring for a while. Ha ha ha.
