The Man Picked Up By the Gods (Reboot)

After the meeting with the guildmasters, I went back to the security company and found out that the slave trader, Orest, was visiting me... Now I'm getting off the carriage that came with him and in front of a restaurant.

Why is that? No, the reasons and circumstances are simple.Mr. Orest invited me to dinner.

After the meeting, there was a tea party, but I didn't have a proper lunch, so I decided to go to dinner and I'm here...

"Come on, let's go. I've already booked it.”

“What would you have done if I hadn't made a reservation before you invited me?”

“This is how you came with me, no problem.”

No, that's not what I'm trying to say. It's no use.

But above all, this store.....

"Welcome, Master Morton. We are open to reservations.”

The door boy standing in front of the store bows and opens the door with a sophisticated motion.

Then Orest went to the store with a familiar look.I'll make sure I don't get delayed, too.

The interior is gorgeously decorated with rugs and furnishings that seem luxurious, but it's different from the mature hobby of simply scratching and arranging things that seem expensive.Nice interior with a sense of unity and sophistication.In addition, it creates a calm atmosphere, perhaps because it is only a "place to eat".

... but of course.Because this is the best (...) super famous restaurant in Gimmel.Of course there was a dress code, and I was really glad that I had tailored the suit before.

This way, please.

While thinking about it, Orest exchanged words with the owner of this store who was in the store, and we were directly sent to the private room in the back of the store.

Please take your time ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

After taking a seat and finishing a brief explanation of the food order, the ringing bell, etc., the owner walked away and finally lost a bit of strength on his shoulders.He didn't seem to miss the moment,

Don't you like places like this?

“Rather than not being good at it, I don't have the opportunity to come to such a luxury store, and I'm not used to it.”

Oh, it seemed like a grandeur to me.

"It's embarrassing to be so restless and wandering. You're just bluffing about it like that."

Take a sip of the water provided on the table.Asked what was bothering me when I had my throat dampened.

By the way, why did Mr. Orest come to dine with me this time?

"Trying to deepen rapport. I've been seeing you at the Gaunago store since before."

Is that why you went all the way to Gimmel?

"There is a regular meeting in Gimmel nearby.I have decided to attend the meeting unless there are special circumstances. ”

"Meetups... by the way, I hear it from time to time.Serge, Glyciela, the guildmaster, and Pioro of the Siongi Chamber of Commerce used to talk about it. "

"Did you know that?" The three people who have just been named will also attend the meeting if it is convenient for them.Participants are active business owners or former business owners in their respective fields, who exchange information and sometimes collaborate. ”

The same is true of Orest, who is in front of us, but I wonder if Serge, Pioro, and Grisiela will get together again.

It's kind of an awesome meeting, isn't it?

"Ladies and gentlemen, as merchants, I am only a strong man in Hundred Battles."I participate as my father's cauldron, but I study every time.

Would you be interested? ”

"I'm joining?" No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

“There aren't any clear criteria, so you can join if you get a referral from a participant.After that, it's a different story if it's acceptable to the other participants. ”

Isn't that what this is all about?

"I know a lot of participants, and I think I can do well with other participants."It looks like you and the owner know each other earlier. ”

"It's just a little bit of a connection."

Certainly, this shop has been in a relationship with the owner for some time now, so the owner has made a close connection with it.

When I tell you that,

“Isn't that great enough?The owners here are famous for not shaking their heads vertically if they don't think they deserve to make a deal. ”

Is that so?

I didn't know that.

However, as I heard later, the owner of this restaurant, as well as the owner of that luxury inn who stayed with the Duke's family when I first came to this city, remembers me as the "child brought to the Duke's house"...

However, I didn't bring a deal to the other party with the intention of making them lose money, so if there is no problem, I will admit it.

“If you don't mind, can I ask you a few more details?”

“We're doing similar deals outside of this one, so we can talk about it.But we're talking about garbage disposal. "

How about talking dirty in such a fancy restaurant?

“This is a private room, and I don't care.I'm curious about your new business. "

So... you already know about the garbage dump... as usual.

"The deal is to buy ingredients that are to be disposed of."Of course, ingredients have expiration dates, right?If it gets damaged or rotten, you can't eat the food.

However, there may be no problems like discoloration due to oxidation, and it may be possible to eat by cutting off the damaged part, etc., but don't you think there are any problems in providing products in such a state?Especially in luxury shops like this one, the quality of the shops will be a concern. ”

Sure.

"Therefore, we will buy the ingredients that we normally have to discard at a significantly lower price than the market price."As a sign of intent to prevent hygienic problems and not infringe on the interests of food stores and restaurants, purchased ingredients will not be "resold", nor will food made from discarded ingredients be "sold", nor will they be "transferred" to others.This is the outline of the transaction between me and each restaurant. "

If we have to dispose of the ingredients we have purchased, we will lose them.Therefore, by buying such ingredients, the loss to the store side is "better" than nothing, but it can be reduced.

On the other hand, my interest in the garbage disposal site is that I can get cheap ingredients that are close to the expiration date.

"The ingredients collected from my purchases are used as ingredients for my personal hobbies of" research on preserved foods ", in addition to becoming a meal for my followers, the slimes and goblins.In this case, it is my personal hobby and convenience rather than the "business" of the garbage disposal plant.We also have a dedicated warehouse next to the garbage dump where we collect ingredients. ”

This deal doesn't make a fortune, but it can greatly reduce food costs, so it's helpful to have a lot of followers.

There are conditions such as rottenness and mold growth that can't be eaten.But before that. If you properly identify and process it, it is a waste to throw away what you can eat.

I think it used to be normal in my previous life, but now I don't know why my subordinates have such impossible faces... I forgot why they talked like that, but in a very earnest voice, I was told by a young girl who joined the company when she was a new graduate... or is she just poor?

Thinking about it, why am I talking about it in such a luxury store?I was suddenly embarrassed.

When that happens,

I'm sorry to keep you waiting.

Did you know when you were coming in?The waiters brought the food to me at such an exquisite time.

Numerous plates carried on a cart are arranged on a table one after the other in a sophisticated movement.It was thought to be a high-end restaurant = course meal, but this time it looks different.

Even so, in a small spoon, there are several kinds of appetizers that are served in small quantities and beautifully.This is a salad made with fresh vegetables that are not normally available.Rare mushroom soup with a rich aroma, the main steak's meatiness... the sense of luxury in the many dishes remains unchanged.

And when all the dishes were arranged, the waiters quickly left the room.

“This shop is used by people who are quite well placed.In particular, private seating is also used for meals and intimate conversations, so the people in the store will understand and take care of it. ”

"I see, so leave the food and leave the room immediately..."

So, you read my mind subtly!?

"It was just that it was easy to understand what I was thinking."Rather, let's give it to you. ”

Certainly, we shouldn't waste this kind of food.Thank you for bringing it to me.

So, I'll start with the appetizers.

How about that?

"Of course, it's delicious." Plus, it's luxurious. "

The ingredients used in this dish, such as fresh raw vegetables, are specially made with magic.The price is the so-called "market price" without clear criteria, and even if it is estimated cheaply, it is more than 10 times as much as it is bought around the time of the season when it is generally distributed.

I'm surprised that some of the wealthy people who are the main target of this restaurant eat dishes made with such ingredients every meal as a matter of course... but it's really delicious.

"I'm glad it was in your mouth.By the way, did you help me with the other day? "

"Yes, I had to thank you for that."

Actually, a while ago, I asked him to help me out.

"At that time, despite the sudden request, I thanked you for taking part in the consultation."Thanks to you, it helped me and my acquaintances to prevent crime in their houses and shops, and to improve security in the city. ”

“I wish I were. But I was surprised when they suddenly sent me a letter saying," I want to buy a criminal slave. "

"I'm sorry about that." At that time, the security of the city was deteriorating rapidly, so I couldn't afford it... I feel ashamed of my immaturity... "

“That's not true.I thought it was a sober and sensible decision.Employing a criminal slave who has committed a crime and has been reduced to slavery as a punishment, and from the criminal's point of view, "making him talk about the methods and ways of crime and using them for crime prevention"

I remembered hearing stories about former criminals in the United States who had served as security advisors or hired such people after they were released, and I tried.

Unfortunately, there were legal issues with the purchase and the buyer's conditions, so I couldn't buy a criminal slave, but he asked me what I wanted to ask him about a criminal slave.

And the large amount of information sent in the form of documents has had a great effect, both on me personally and on improving the security of the city.Without that information, it would have taken less time to improve security than it does now.

"Even for me, I want to sell my debt to Master Ryoma, so if there is anything I can do to help, don't hesitate to say so."

you're going to say to yourself, "I'm going to sell you my debt".....

“So the security in the city is getting better, so how are things these days?I hear you used to live in the woods, but is it fun to live in the city? ”

"Why all of a sudden, I ask my child a father-like question," Is school fun? "... Well, yeah, it's fun.My personal life and business are going well, so there may be a bit of a flaw in saying this, but because of the security in the city, I was able to connect with people I hadn't known before. ”

The owner of the shop comes up with a clothes shop manager who tailored the suit he is wearing.

The owner made a deal earlier, and the clothing store manager made a deal with the security company and garbage disposal workers about the work clothes and uniforms they wore.

To the other people in the city who knew each other from the beginning... it's a little different, but you can say that the young adventurers have become close.

If you talk about it one by one and with specific episodes, the time will pass quickly.If I had noticed, I would have eaten more than half of my meal.

"Somehow I'm talking unilaterally, sorry."

“Don't worry, I asked you a question first.Besides, I think we talked a little bit when we first met, but I like to listen to other people. ”

Speaking of which, when I said that... I followed the extra information, so I drove it to a corner of my memory.

"Thank you very much. If you don't like it, will you listen to me?"As I said at the beginning, I really want to deepen my friendship. "

Absolutely.

Expect to understand a little bit about this person who is confused about what they are thinking.
