The Man Picked Up By the Gods (Reboot)
Slight change
Next day
Arriving at Gimru around lunch, I decided to show my face to the store with those legs.
"Good job, Store Manager"
"Good luck, Mr. Callum."
After I said hello, I was supposed to get a report...
"I'm not in the way of business, but I had a little incident the other day"
"Case? Please elaborate"
"Yes, it's the charcoal the manager kept in the kitchen, but you said it would help improve the air and moisture, right?
"The effect varies depending on the quantity and material, but that's what they say."
"Actually, when Fina and the others tried that, many times the charcoal they had placed had disappeared, at some point. When the coal thieves came out, we made a temporary scene."
"Charcoal thief... temporarily means it's solved already, right?
"Yes, the killer was a cleaner slime"
"The cleaner?
No way!
"Were you eating?
"All the charcoal I kept in Slime's waiting room. A few of them were eating, but Maria says they haven't eaten laundry stains since. Is it sick?
"Probably not, but I'd like to see that slime for now"
"Yes, sir."
Mr. Callum left the office. I'm sure he'll bring you here soon.
Charcoal-eating slime...... carbon because it's charcoal? Or would it be another evolution?
"Excuse me. We brought Slime and Maria."
"Excuse me ~"
With thoughts in mind, Mr. Callum quickly returned.
I'm taking Maria, who looks a little uncomfortable in the back, and we're holding one cleaner at a time.
"Good luck. Please come this way."
Listening to the conversation while observing the key slime, Maria was giving instructions to the slime to “have dinner" at the start of the business, and the charcoal preferred cleaner appeared to be out.
"I heard you only eat charcoal."
"Mm-hmm... I prefer charcoal - it feels like it's getting passive for laundry - while the other kids eat it"
"Oh, is that so?"
Then you can continue your work, but you don't have to force me to wash it.
"You don't seem like a sickness. Probably went into preparing for evolution. Evolution can change your abilities and your diet, so please let me keep these two. Then please contact me if my preferences change this way in the future. In some cases it may damage the laundry, so I'll leave the response to Mr. Callum in that case.
Maria asks you to continue to manage the slime. If damage occurs in the future, respond with customer compensation and slime isolation. "
"I'll do my best!
"Best wishes. Mr. Callum and I won't be able to come up with much because I'll be following you, too. … or as much as I personally would like to thank you"
I have a feeling a new slime will be born. I'm very excited. Enough to give out a gold seal. Maria seemed relieved as she spoke that we had to build more coal kilns as soon as we got home......
Transfer the contract with the two of them to me, and that's it for Slime.
I want Maria to go back to work, and now she'll report back to me.
"... Lenav's branch starts operating safely. And then you'll get your reports regularly."
"Safe and above all."
"Right. That's all there is to report about the store. But... actually, there's one thing I want to tell you personally."
I told her I had decided to go back to my hometown once to collect my grandparents' artifacts.
At first it was Mr Serge's introduction, but I actually trust the work done so far.
"So we want to gradually increase our activities as adventurers"
I see. You're going back to your original schedule.
"Sorry to bother you, thank you"
"Of course. I'll take care of the store. We will spare no support if necessary."
Mr. Callum took it on with a motivated smile.
I'll take care of the store.
"Which is the manager's hometown, by the way? The name of the village doesn't sound familiar."
"Do you know the Schulz Great Tree Sea? What do you look like in there..."
The moment I gave him the place name, he looked so modest and calm that he had never even seen it.
"Goho, excuse me. I'm a little surprised... you're alive a lot..."
What are the feelings that I squeezed out...
"It's a dangerous area, after all."
"We also encounter the harsh environment of vast dense forests, the countless warcraft that inhabit them, and the A-rank warcraft if we go deep... I've heard that without the bases built by our ancestors, we can't even replenish them. Normally, it's a miracle they just came out alive..."
"Ha... well I'm going back by regular means, so I have to rank as an adventurer first. In the meantime, we'll be prepping and getting used to our shoulders before we head on."
"If that's the case, please speak to Serge again. I'm sure you can help me procure supplies, and the Morgan Chamber of Commerce has many branches, so it's convenient."
I felt like I was worried about stopping it, but at the end of the day, I got good information and support.
And then.
When I visited the Morgan Chamber of Commerce before I got home, the atmosphere was kind of more rushed than usual and I thought I'd change the day...... I got a welcome from the clerk who knew me and was able to meet Mr. Serge.
And when I tell him about the example, he still reacts similarly.
"Was Master Lyoma from the Great Tree Sea... Come on. It must have been tough"
"No, I was desperate to leave at the time, and I can barely remember the details."
"Was I? I can't help it, because the adventurer who stepped in and said," What can I say over there... I've seen the human bump that keeps me earning money in the midst of the harsh, etc. "I can't get in. But why suddenly again?
"The warcraft I encountered in Lenaf the other day is a little like the warcraft in my hometown, and I remember. Besides, I heard about this, but they don't live in the village anymore."
"That's a story if you think about that land..."
"I thought I'd go after the confirmation around there. I'm sure it will be for the time being, but I intend to be an adventurer."
"Was I? Then let's say I support you in the shadows, too. Please use our Morgan Chamber of Commerce when you need anything."
"Thank you. I'll take care of you.... By the way, is there anything today?
I still feel people move more intensely than before.
Wasn't it a bad time to interrupt?
"No, it was more convenient for you to visit today. Tomorrow, for a week, I will go to the Magic Tools City, which opens in the town of Kereban. This is what we're gonna do."
"The City of Magic Tools? That sounds interesting."
"Are you interested?
Hmm? Something changed the color of Mr. Serge's eyes. Is this... geek eyes?
"I haven't had much opportunity to touch many kinds. Do you like Mr. Serge?
"Unfortunately, as a collector, you are quite well known within your peers. This time, the city has half a job, half a hobby."
"Was it? Sure sounds like fun just looking around."
"It is. Even magic tools for the same purpose vary from craftsman to workshop. Besides, this is the kind of city that makes it easy to get out of apprenticeships and little things, unlike the usual deals. It's also interesting when you find things you like and promising people in the future."
Mr. Serge's eyes began to shimmer.
"I've tried to make it myself, but it still doesn't work like an artisan"
"Mr. Serge, can you use grant magic?
"No, I have less magic, so I can't use as much attribute magic either. But depending on the type of magic tool, it can be made without magic. Please wait."
Entering geek mode, he left the room in a light foothold.
I quickly came back with a crate when I thought.
"Check this out"
It was the gear that was removed from the crate.
It doesn't look like there's any kind of weirdness at first sight...
"Oh, I turned"
When Mr. Serge passes his magic, he starts to spin slowly on his desk.
"This is a gear that has been granted unattributed magic called 'spin'. As you can see, if you run magic, it rotates in a certain direction, so it will be incorporated primarily as a source of power. The typical thing is a magic car."
Is that the magic tool version of the automobile? I've never seen it...
"Yeah...... unfortunately it's not very practical. There are ways to move with people's magic and use demon stones, because it lacks a little horsepower to move the weight of luggage to the body and to humans, and because it costs demon stones. Ordinary carriages are better for use at work. But once a year, the Wang Capital opens a massive race. I own one in my hobby, too."
I feel tremendous enthusiasm in the quiet narrative......!
"Whoa, did you talk about it? There are many other types, but it is also possible to create new magic tools without any magic using the magic tools obtained by outsourcing. Many craftsmen specialize in this."
"I see, that's interesting"
"Bring this if you like"
"No, that's just..."
I was offered gear for each box.
Exactly. When I say no because I think that's schematic, Mr. Serge scratches his head and opens his mouth.
"I bought it in the city last year, but I had too much to spare..."
They bought a young apprenticeship piece as a forward investment along with a product they liked.
I'm talking softly, but in a nutshell... "I don't want to blah.”
I said I would take a place just to keep it, so I ended up having it.
"Thank you, all of a sudden interrupt to souvenirs"
"This is the one that helps you take on defective inventory"
"If one day you come up with an interesting tool, I'll come and make it and show you"
"Oh! Please do. I'm looking forward to it."
This is how I break up with Mr. Serge, who smiles.
I just got a little intimacy with Mr. Serge today.
Okay, let's go home and take care of Slime.
