Next day

I visited the commercial guild a little late to say morning.

"Welcome, what can I do for you today?

"The other day, Guildmaster Grisiera spoke to me..."

I've been getting ready since last night and making some of the drugs that were on my list.

Though I was hoping to meet with the Alliance Master at the end of the purchase.

"This is, Master Takebayashi. Welcome to the Commercial Alliance."

Officials who have dealt with me several times since before came out of the back and put me through to the reception room.

Looks like I've already got my face remembered.

"Nice to see you. You're buying drugs today."

As soon as we meet face to face, we are half deduced for our purpose today.

"Very well, sir."

"You asked for it from me. I thought you'd try to respond quite a bit. And I heard you went to teach the Adventurer Guild. When you're done, listen to the message, and then think about the time to make the medicine, you have an approximate idea. I was expecting you around today or tomorrow."

They read ahead as scary as ever.

but that's not the only purpose today.

"There's another thing I'd like to talk to you about."

"Hmm? Then I'll just finish buying the pills."

"Please." Item Box ""

50 bottles of medicine I've been making.

"I have made it to the extent that it is sufficient with handheld ingredients. We still have the grel frog material."

"If I arrange the ingredients, will you make them?

"If it's something I can make."

The Alliance Master, who was appraising the suitably chosen bottle, snapped his nose.

"Was there a drug on that list that you couldn't make?

"Even if you know how to make it, there are medicines you've never actually made. There's also a part of the guild master that I wanted you to look at, which means confirmation."

"Right. I've seen some, but the quality is constant and the effect is fine. I don't have anything to do with it. I'll have the ingredients for the less stocked medicines, so will you bring them in next?

"Yes, sir."

As soon as this one accepts, she calls an official to assess and store the medication. And I command you to prepare the rewards and materials as soon as possible. Also, when an official who has received it leaves,

What else do you want to talk to me about?

"Plum Diamond"

As soon as I was prompted to go on and say it, I felt her eyes sharpened.

"Did you know?

"If only I'd done this job for a long time. Do you have it?

"It's my grandmother's artifact, and if I'm in trouble with the money, they said to sell it."

Finally, we will explain that we have a courtesy dress.

"... so I thought I could make that gem a decoration, but when I thought about it, I didn't know its value, and I thought it was a good one with that gem"

"I praise you for not bringing it to a bad place and for bringing the story to Atashi. Do you have it now?

Remove one cloth wrap from the item box and gently hand it over.

Inside there is only one prum diamond divided into thumbnail sizes.

There was no change in the appraisal results just because it was divided or shaped. So I'm pretty sure...

The wrapped guild master uses the magic of appraisal after seeing it lick the gem. Immediately afterwards he sighs like a frightened sigh.

"Is it a fake?

"It's real. How dare you have such a large Plum Jewel? It's boulder transparency. Diamonds and beautiful colorless colours... although the cut is somewhat unfortunate, it's quite a dish."

To hear more, “prum” is one of the jargon terms that represents the grade of a gem, and it seems to mean “special” in some old word.

"I mean, this is the finest"

"It's not fancy.“ Special. "Okay? Gems are more or less filled with grains of sand, fine scratches, cavities, and all that extra stuff. Normally."

Ah...

I was told and remembered. It is true that natural gemstones can contain contents and cavities in the process of the ingredients becoming gemstones. By contrast, gems created by alchemy don't have it...

"... you don't know what Ploom is, but do you know anything about it?"

"I just remembered"

"You're weirdly biased in your knowledge. Well, if you know, we're talking fast. This gem doesn't have any of that. That is also the condition of a gem named Ploom. But those jewels are not produced in modern times."

"In modern times?

"I don't know if it's that kind of gem from the beginning, or if it just scraped off the beauty of normal gems, but long before Baba like Atashi and the others were born. Sounds like it happened a long time ago.

You think it was discovered from some ruins or used for ancient national treasures? I've heard stories about how nobles tried to get into the market. Most of the things that exist will be treated like family heirlooms. "

In the past, that means there were people who made gems out of alchemy in the past.

Same metastasizer as me... was that the “Alchemist" Guys told me about before? Find out if you get a chance.

"Would it be bad if I turned it into a ornament?

"You don't have to worry about that much. I'm sure it's not about hustling around from myself, but the Duke's is the only one who goes to say hello, isn't it? Then you won't be bothered.

If, hypothetically, some weird aristocrat blinded me, it's unlikely that it will suddenly become a rough thing. You'll be talking about selling it to me first, so you can sell it then. You're not obsessed with artifacts, are you?

"Do you understand?"

"That's about it."

Guildmaster laughing niggardly.

I don't pursue it, but you mean suspicious there too... not to mention the extra.

"Ma, if you're really worried about it, it's better to sell it off early than hide it."

I mean, he said it was too late to care at the time he had it. Then let's reopen it and use it for decorations.

Shall we crush the rest and feed it to the slime? Or to the Duke's house,

"Excuse me. Rewards and materials are ready."

Whoa, looks like the guy just came back. The Alliance Master pushes the diamond. Let it go, I guess.

"Come in."

The Alliance Master, who has confirmed that he has cleared the gems, gives permission. And there were three officials who came in, one carrying leather bags that looked heavy and the other two holding various bags, large and small. They line up those items on the table and finally hand a piece of paper to the Alliance Master to exit.

The Alliance Master dropped his gaze on that paper for a while, nodded as he was convinced, and now pointed that paper at me.

"Check the rewards and materials."

... Confirming as I was told, I noticed the amount of the reward.

It says 3,000 suits per bottle of medicine I brought in.

"I feel too rewarded"

"The demand for good antidotes won't run out for a while, and customers are just nobles and rich, so hey. Because producers have to work hard to make sure that the medicine doesn't get into the hands of the people who really need it. The quality was high, and given the timing, it's reasonable.

But when the time comes, the value will be restored, so bring the material I gave you earlier. "

"Yes, sir."

I'm not planning on going away for a while, and I'll make it early.

"Lyoma, by the way. You said Wargan gave you permission to crusade the bandits."

"Where did you get that?

"I heard it from the person who gave me permission. We talked about something else. Later.... is that job motivating you?

"Combat is my specialty. There's no problem with dealing with people."

"I know. I guess that's why he gave permission, too. If that's the case, show your face to the commercial guild. Bandit moves also affect Atashi's work. An information network of informants should help."

"Sure...... thank you"

"I'm a merchant to use anything I can use. If you can hunt bandits with that information, you'll end up making money."

That's true, too.

The advice of the Alliance Master was also considered profitable.

"Regards"

"Yes, sir..."

I thank the clerk yesterday and leave the store with the diamonds.

Apparently, he knew the value of Plum Diamond, unlike me.

I guess I'm familiar with work patterns, jewelry, too. The moment I said I wanted you to use this and show it to me, it seemed like I knew it was a good thing. After holding it in my hand further and checking it, my attitude had changed. The polite treatment from the source feels even more polite.

I was allowed to pay a little more as a stopping fee, but the cost of the jewellery used for the decorations floated, so I guess it's called a ton. I've figured out what to look for when making jewelry, and it's cheap as a study fee.

Now my next appointment is... the aptitude test for the submissive that Mr. Roche taught me.

I meant to walk relaxed, but I got there right away. Apparently that store and Tamer Guild were as close as I thought.

"Hi, I heard you can do an aptitude test for your submissive here, can you take it today?

"Welcome to Tamer Guild. An aptitude test, right? You can take it. Present your guild card please."

At the reception of the Alliance, which I haven't visited in a long time, I presented my card as I was told.

"Oh? You don't seem to have received one yet."

"Yes, because I've had an obedient demon for a long time before I registered here"

"Was I? The aptitude diagnosis is free for the first time, please bring this to the east gate of Gimru"

One piece of paperwork came back with the guild card. Looks like an exam slip.

"East Gate, is it?

"Yes, the aptitude diagnosis will give you an actual try on the contract with the multiple types of Warcraft we have prepared in our guild, and we will look at the commonalities and trends from the results to determine what Warcraft you are compatible with. That's why we really need land to manage a large number of Warcraft.

And in the east gate of Gimru, we have a large Warcraft lodging facility, and the Warcraft for aptitude diagnosis is managed together there. "

So to the East Gate, so?

"Thank you. I understand very well. I'll try to get there quickly."

"You're welcome. I wish you good luck"

Thus we were to head to the East Gate.

... Speaking of which, isn't this the first time you've been to the East Gate?
