The Man Picked Up By the Gods (Reboot)

I left the store to Mr. Callum, and I headed to Mr. Serge's shop at first sight.

Then there...

……

On the walls of a wooden store that feels warm, burnt marks are left wide by arson, and furthermore, tough face-bent men stand in front of the store.

It's been over six months since I've been in the city of Gimru, but I've never seen such a vibe.

When I came to this city, it was warmer and more peaceful.

I wonder if this building is the situation in Giml right now, say lonely or sad......

"Excuse me, can I help you with this store?

"! Ah, yes"

I was called back by one of the tough faces earlier.

... Seemed a little frightened.

"I've been taking good care of this meeting, but I've been out of town lately. When I got back, I heard that I had been damaged by arson... and came without promise"

Talking about the situation, the man who spoke looked at the companion in front of the entrance and thought the companion and the man went inside the nodding shop.

"Please wait while we get confirmation"

"Thank you"

■ ■ ■

Then a few minutes later.

I was put through to the usual reception room.

After a while, Mr. Serge, who looked fine, came as well, although he seemed somewhat tired.

"Master Lyoma, since you broke up at the Duke's house."

"It's been a while. Looks like something went wrong, but I'm glad you're okay."

"I'm sorry for your concern. But you're right, I'm fine with it myself. And we've stepped up security."

"Oh, I saw it on the table. The wind was rough, but you were polite."

"They're the mercenaries I called from the King's Capital. The whole mercenary is an image of a rough crowd, but when it comes to being a first-class mercenary, there are many people who are well perceived and courteous.

Unlike adventurers who are expected to respond to people, warcraft, and various opponents and environments, mercenaries specialize in "dealing with problems between humans”. It is natural not to offend the client or his surroundings with security or escorts. With necessity and credibility, I hope you rarely get to the negotiating table with the enemy. "

I see... Do mercenaries in this world combine negotiators and so on when they are first class?

"... it's still a situation where we need those people, isn't it? This city now."

"Unfortunately, you're right. More fights and burglaries all over the city as well as arson to my store. Do you know the cause?

"I heard that the influx of workers is intense and that workers without jobs are overflowing the town. But is it something that makes security so suddenly worse so far?

"Of course, bureaux and guilds are moving to respond, including closing the recruitment of workers, but also to stop the excessive influx from next to next. Inside, he gathers people under the guise of a contractor who mediates work in Gimru and throws them out just before arrival after taking the referral fee. It seems that some people gather people by M.O. like fraud and kidnapping, and it's the current situation that hasn't gone around.

It's not a very loud story… it's a deliberate matter, as if more than one nobleman is pulling a thread behind it "

"!! That's"

"It would be harassment of the Duke's house, which is an odd lord. I don't see why, but that's a stupid thing to do. I know because I helped a little, but Master Reinhardt has already been moved to turn down the source of the disturbance."

"Really?

"It's a lot rough right now, but you should be calming down soon. Until then, you'll have to watch your back and be patient."

"That's good"

If that's all you need to talk about, just consolidate your protection and wait for things to settle down...

"By the way, Master Lyoma, I hear you brought something in today"

"Ah! I was. As we talked about before, I went to Fatma territory on an adventurer's job, and I had a good connection, so do a little bit of pedestrian imitation. I'd like you to look at what I've been purchasing and what's new."

"Hmm. That's very interesting. So, what have you been buying?

Remove each type of pottery bought in Fatma territory from the item box.

"Ho. Earthenpots, pots, and dishes for tea bowls and water only... all seem good for everyday use. Medium quality. How much?

"Here."

When you give them the inventory you prepared at the time of purchase,

"Hmm... this much, that's about it. You can't put a higher price on it, but you chose a tough one."

"We also talked to the local clerk."

The amount offered exceeded the purchase price by about 20%. I didn't make a very big fortune, but the transportation cost floated and enough for a little penny. Think of it as following another job, it's not bad at all.

"Well, these are for this amount, please"

"Yes, sir."

The next thing I take out is a thank you from the lord, although not for sale.

From the attitude of the store clerk who packed it and kept it, it seems to be worth a lot.

I was going to decorate the store, but I want to know the right value before I do.

Tell them what's going on, and they'll see.

"Ko, this is"

Once I opened the box, Mr. Serge's expression became more rude.

I hurriedly put on the white gloves I removed from my nose and carefully unpacked them.

Softly placed on the desk, the vibrant and fine paintings are painted on a bluish white ground.

It looks like a pretty splendid one, though.

"Mmmm..."

"Um, is this so awesome?

"Characteristics of this bluish and brightly colored decoration of the scalp. Probably excavated from ancient ruins."

"Ancient ruins? That."

"That's the ruin of an ancient civilization that was supposedly highly technical. It is rarely found anywhere in the world, but Fatma territory must also have had something discovered a long time ago.

As you can see, this is of high value as a work of art, but the manufacturing method has not been conveyed and is not made in modern times. It is extremely rare and of high historical value to have something as complete as this one. This is something I'm not sure I'll put the right value on either. If you really want to, you should ask an expert. "

"How could the Lord of Fatma give me such a substitute?

"Even if you ask me. However, if you received it as a reward for the request, didn't Master Lyoma appreciate it for doing the job it deserved? What the hell did you offer that lord?"

Oh, my God, I'm not supposed to tell you about pearls or that shellfish...

Explain how to clean hot springs and cook and cook poisonous fish.

"I see. Uncle Fatma is a famous gastronomer, and I hear her face to the like-minded is wide. You will want new food information as soon as possible, and you will be confident that you will carry it well. If a good economic flow is created around the dish called Ghioza, and the territory becomes moist for 10 years and 20 years in the future... then you can be convinced that you have given this"

I'm convinced... for now this is important, if you want to decorate it, I'll even have a special storage case.

"Next, it's a slime product from here."

"New slime products, I'm curious"

And the first thing I put out was the acidic mucus I also used in the hot springs.

Further arrange the thread (...) wrapped around the thread roll next to it.

Then it was clear that Mr. Serge's eyes were catching the thread.

"This acidic mucus is a mixture of sticky slime adhesive liquid and acid from Acid Slime, which should be used with caution, but can be used for acid-weak dirt, such as yellowing the toilet,"

"That's the case with average households, but there's going to be a demand, especially for accommodations and such. The rest will depend on your precautions and ease of use. By the way, what's this yarn? Obviously not like the sticky slime yarn though."

Apparently, Mr. Serge, this yarn is more of a concern than acidic mucus.

"This is the yarn made by Slime, who evolved the other day on his way back from Fatma territory."

"Ho ho, what kind of slime is that?

It's the slime that Sticky Slime has evolved by eating nets, “Fiber Slime".

As a guess from the name, technically the fiber that was making the nets, not the nets, seemed to be the evolutionary condition.

He was an individual who was formerly particularly good at threading among sticky slimes and often entrusted the Morgan Chamber of Commerce with yarn making that he was also wholesale, and does that have anything to do with that? The change due to the evolution was a new acquisition of the skill of “fibrosis”.

"This skill of fibrosis is like dissolving the material that you take into your body, forming it filamentously, and spitting it out."

When I understood this skill, I remembered “Rayon” from my previous life.

A rayon is a recycled fiber made of a method called wet spinning that dissolves cellulose, the main ingredient of a plant, in an alkaline agent or the like, and spins in an acid, which was also called artificial silk yarn, or man-made silk, because it was made to resemble silk.

Fiber slime fibrosis skills do not use chemicals, but the process was close to how rayons were manufactured.

After you realize that, keep the momentum and cellulose in the fiber slime. In addition, there have been interesting discoveries in the process of producing acidic mucus, and it was this yarn (...) that gave fluff slime cotton wool as cellulose to try and was completed with 100% slime.

"Name it." It's Slime Rayon! There is only one fiber slime that has evolved so far, so it cannot be produced in large quantities, but the ingredients are so excessive because they are fluff slime cotton wool, and you can give fertilizer and increase production if you need it, so you will not have any problems with the ingredients. How about as a product?

"This is great! This gloss, and the touch. It's a little different from silk yarn if you look closely, but it's a very close fiber. If you weave this, you'll have a beautiful cloth. I'm also glad that not only is it of its own quality, but it is also easy to procure on the handling side."

Because normal silk is a raw material for silkworm cocoons, production and picking times are limited, and it is not easy to increase production.

But slime rayons can be produced whenever fiber slime is fed with ingredients.

Production will eventually increase if fiber slime is increased in divisions.

As I said earlier on ingredients, I can prepare as much fertilizer as I want.

"Ordinary silk products are as luxurious as ever to aristocratic customers. Slime rayon is a“ substitute "that mimics silk, making it a product for the average customer. You're going to be able to differentiate."

"It's difficult for newcomers to enter an already completed competitive market."

"You're right. Besides, this one is only a" substitute ". If you can impress it as“ real ”over there, noble customers will all try to get the real one, so you won't be hostile to it by the silk dealers and producers.

You need more productivity to sell to the public, but that sounds like a matter of time. Can I keep this roll?

"Yes, I was hoping you'd look into it."

"Yes, I did. For future reference"

The story of Slime Rayon is going to get bigger.

But one more thing for me. I have the last item.

"Mr. Serge."

"Apparently, there's something I really need to take care of, too."

"Yes. This is also something that Slime has evolved to be able to make, but I was very surprised myself. I think it's the most valuable thing I've ever shown you."

"It's unusual for Master Lyoma to say that... I'm ready"

Mr. Serge with a serious look, like when we talked about Bloody Slime serum before.

Before he was ready for that, the greatest harvest of this trip? Put out a small box with pearls that Pearl Slime made.

The next moment,

"Oh......"

"Mr. Serge!?

He fell into the back of the chair he was sitting in, as if he had also had been caused by anemia.

It's like putting your hands in front of you and saying you're okay... but you're squeaking something.

Looks like he's doing some calculations, and it took a few minutes for Mr. Serge to get back to normal.

"Excuse me"

"No, this one seems to have surprised me."

"Right. Surprised. Surprised."

Mr. Serge nods all the time saying that's natural.

"I don't care what you think of this, Pearl. I wouldn't be surprised if it was just one capsule, but Master Lyoma said you could“ make ”this, right?

"Exactly. Recently, an evolved slime had a body of pearls and the skills to make pearls. Of course, I thought I needed to choose who to talk to, so this is the first time Mr. Serge has told me this story."

"That was good...... really"

"By the way, what is the market for pearls? Because I can't take it in this country, so I only know it's very expensive."

"It's market value, but if you want to get even one of these, you'll need a small white gold coin"

Little white gold coins should have been super expensive like a million for just one piece.

"Is that so"

"There are many reasons to increase the value.

The first thing you need to do to get pearls is pick shellfish containing pearls in the sea, but there are also warcraft in the sea, so one thing first is that this task is very dangerous. One less chance of finding pearls from shellfish collected is tens of thousands to one. And the pearls obtained are a thousand different colors and shapes. There are even fewer that can be used as gems, plus the value of pearls that can be used as gems increases… although “country of origin” can still be obtained relatively cheaply.

There are other countries like this one that don't pick pearls, so merchants who want to make purchases will visit their country of origin from each country, contend, take them back to the country at all costs, such as escort fees on tariffs and transportation costs, where the value will jump again. Naturally, it would be a loss if it did not sell higher than the amount used to purchase it.

The market for other pearls will depend on the results of the year's fishing. We would like you to consider a small white gold coin as almost the lower limit. "

Se, mr. Serge raps more than usual. Besides, I find it strangely compelling.

You mean that's all precious and big money...... big money?

"If that's all it's expensive..."

"Master Lyoma?

……

I thought of it, should I say it, or should I say it flashed? It connects rapidly when matters that were fragmented in my head are remembered to matters that are also completely irrelevant.

"Dear Lyoma, how are you?"

"Mr. Serge."

"- Yes."

"Remember what we talked about before, the garbage disposal plant?

"When it comes to garbage disposal plants...... oh are you talking about using scavenger slime for city garbage disposal? I remember, what's that?

"Actually, I was in a village where I stayed for work on Fatma territory, and I got garbage that leaves my home like every day. It can feed on scavengers, and the garbage that comes out if your lifestyle is different. Unlike here, like the fiber slime earlier, we found something that encourages new evolution in the slime.

And it wasn't just that, it was a small amount of garbage coming out of a single household, but it was a lot if it was collected from all the households in the village, and it evolved that fast. So I believe that collecting garbage is very beneficial to me. "

"Ha, ha. Sure, maybe for Master Lyoma."

"It is. So I want to build a garbage disposal plant for my hobby.

But to do this, even if we leave the disposal of garbage to the scavengers, we will need a lot of manpower, including people who will collect garbage for it, who will separate it from the garbage if we have what we need for evolution or experimentation, and who will manage the people who work. Most of them will be dirty jobs, and I used to think it would be hard to find someone to work for...... now?

"!“ Job seekers are overflowing the city. "

"Exactly. More importantly, you can hire all you want workers, you can choose all you want, right? I don't know what thoughts have been sent in to the noblemen who pull the thread behind them, but I think some of the workers who come to Gimru are purely looking for work, and if they look, some are competent?

Also, those who want to get a job as soon as possible and are in such a hurry will also have lower demands on the workplace. I don't know about clinging to it and making it work in unfairly low wages and bad environments... if it lowers the demands from the other side, don't you get it as the hire side?

"Some people have high self-esteem for nothing sometimes. I know what you're gonna say."

"More of this."

I show the little box of pearls on my desk with my hands again.

"Whether you want to start a new business or hire people, you need the right amount of money. Ideally, of course, you can cover the necessary expenses in your business."

"Even if you don't earn money in the business, if you sell this grain where it should be, it will go up for the moment."

"Yes, and there are still things I want to do and things I have to do."

First of all, we must strengthen the store's protection in view of the current state of the city.

As always, we need to get ready to go to the Schulz Sea.

Specifically, I need time to train myself, and I want to study medicine and treatment just in case.

I want to study tools and preserved foods to make life easier, and of course, I want to study slime.

He was also taught about a certain warcraft used to feed warcraft at the Duke's house in order to feed the slime that would increase in the future, but he also needs to take exams at Tamer Guild to keep it personally and get permission to breed it, so he needs to study exams for it.

Even at the moment, there are too many things I want to try and have to do, and I'm not as close to slime research as I used to be. Additionally, when I add these as well, I am completely in a good mood.

If I waited until I could do it all, when would I be able to go to the Schulz Great Tree Sea? Or head out on the way to prep? No, it makes me wonder if it's halfway ready.

"But you've all been worried about me for a long time, and you said,“ You don't have to do it all by yourself. "

"Sure, I always said"

"Exactly what you all said. I want to do my own slime research, for example researchers in preserved foods or tool making, or something like that, you can look for someone to work on your behalf and leave it to me! Different?

"... Dear Lyoma. I don't think what you're saying is wrong... but doesn't that mean you want to give workers jobs?

"? No way, that kind of thing is something that the administration, nobility, and the better people think about and do, and it's not something that individuals like me think about or do.

I'm just trying to do something for myself, for my hobby, to screw up time I don't have enough, to use the money I've sprung up down there. It's all for me.

Especially as a result, I think it's true that workers get more jobs. "

"Is it true?

That's what I'm saying, Mr. Serge, I'm gonna stare at my face.

What's wrong with it? Why am I so suspicious?

In doubt, he sighs one and looks convinced of something.

"Okay. But so will all sorts of new businesses, especially if you're going to build a new garbage disposal plant. In the meantime, how about we exchange guild masters in a commercial guild and pack some more details?

"! Thanks! Right. I think that's a good idea!

Disaster turns to bliss, should I say?

Changing the way you think and see might also turn a bad situation into an opportunity!
