The Novice Alchemist’s Store

"Then I should thank that person. I owe it to you to hire me. - What's a master class?

"The" Master Class ”is the peak of the Alchemist. A high alchemist who can only count in this country. Knowledge if you're interested in alchemy."

"Oh really... I didn't know"

"In this village, there won't be anything to talk about. In the first place, there wasn't an alchemist in this village until the manager arrived, was there? Then there's no choice."

Ma, whoever the master class is, it doesn't really matter to the average person.

I found out about my master myself after coming in part-time...

Tell me that, too.

If you hadn't gotten along with the seniors, if you did poorly, it's possible you didn't even know it now.

"As for someone named Ofelia Millis... Mr. Store Manager, what about that as an apprentice?

"Eh, I don't know much about the master's public assessment either... quite famous among alchemists?

"Bakah! Lord Store Manager, bakah!

Yeah!? Suddenly Mr. Iris cursed me!?

"Master Ophelia is“ quite famous ”or something, not in that dimension! That one, that one!!"

"Yes, yes, let Iris calm down, shall we? I'm sorry, Mr. Store Manager. But Iris's reaction is extreme, but besides the alchemist, he's pretty famous, he's a level guy."

"What is it"

"What is it?"

Me, I normally applied for a part-time job and treated myself as an apprentice in the middle flow......

Actually, great luck?

No, sure, I was very flattered by the seniors.

"As it were, well, take measures to talk about the master. Then they come up against each other and raise the buyout price even more, or give up."

"If you give up, it's over, right? Problem Solving"

"Right. Problem is, if you've been up against it."

"We'll increase the supply of ice tooth bat fangs then. Gatsuri and"

"How?

"I dive into the cave day after day and keep hunting. Until their funds are short."

If I am serious about working hunting and can also borrow Mr. Iris or Mr. Kate's hand, hundreds of them are tough a day. Even more so if Andre and the others are involved.

Ice Tooth Bat Tooth, Take Two Per Car, Minimum Buy Price for a Five Year Old Approximately 1,000 Rare.

As we get older, so does the price, and the opponent buys more than 30% more, so if we work hard, we should be able to absorb millions of rare a day.

If you hadn't brought in quite a lot of cash, you'd be lightly short.

"Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

- Yeah, that's a big nuisance to collectors.

If you do this, it might suck if you don't make some kind of reduction sale.

"That's the manager! Relentless!?"

"As far as I'm concerned, I just want to go peacefully. Well, it's over there that I've been selling fights first."

I'd like to talk to Iris for a little over an hour about what's 'just right' and how he perceives me, but I'm off the record, so let's take action now.

"Mr. Sarasa, after all, what's wrong with the way that merchant does it? Your father was also buying materials..."

"Mr. Darna, long before I came, so. But there's a little bit of a problem when you get side-paper ripped in a village that has a proper alchemist, right? Especially if you're a new alchemist, because you can't afford it."

If a merchant purchases material in these small villages, it is assumed manners to talk to the alchemist there first.

Because alchemists in the area are also required to play a role in balancing the materials that can be picked around them.

For example, materials where demand is high and profitable, and materials where demand is low but sometimes necessary.

If the alchemist only deals with the former, he'll have trouble when he's "what if”.

Or because it sells well, and what if I totally run out of it?

To accommodate this, it is also the role of alchemists in the area to adjust buying prices, impose buying restrictions, etc.

If a merchant comes there and ignores the rules...?

Especially in villages like this, where the market is small, the impact is very great.

As far as ice tooth bats are concerned, they're relatively habitable animals, and I don't have to worry about them in terms of getting rid of them, but, after all, you can't break the rules, can you?

"Well, it's not a legal problem, so I'm free to do it myself."

"Really? Alchemist, would you be in trouble if they hit you?

"Because I don't do decent merchants. It's more risky to turn the Alchemist against the enemy."

If you're dealing with alchemy-related materials, the main customer is an alchemist.

If you break the rules, the alchemists in the area will turn you around and make it difficult to do business.

That's why I don't know what he's doing.

"So, the manager. Which way do you want it? Left alone or confronted."

"Uh-huh, which is better?

Leave the hassle free.

Profits are less, but not as troublesome.

The problem is that I can be licked - no, I'm doing this, so I guess I've already been licked, but whatever the extent of the ice tooth bat's fangs, I still have trouble doing whatever I want in the future.

If you think only of profit, the confrontation.

The difficulty is that I have to work hard.

Oh, that's not what I'm talking about, like, not wanting to work?

If you're hunting in a cave, you're running out of time for alchemy.

"... yeah, let's make it a majority vote. First of all, a good confrontation!

Three hands rise.

It was decided suddenly.

"I can't allow you to stand in the way of the manager!

"Right. If we're going to do business, we need to think not only about ourselves, but about the people involved."

"Lorea, too?

"Yes, with your father... you know, Gretz, I used to take care of your brother"

Lorea, 'I didn't realize' and all sorts of tight words, but for once, did you have feelings?

Speaking of which, Mr. Gretz said 'we were playing together' or something, right?

- Actually, Lorea, the lights are hidden...?

With that in mind, I glance at Lorea's expression, but I just lean my little neck with a strange look.

Don't you have a crush on your older brother? Yeah.

He said "prodigal son" or something.

"I understand. Then let's go in that direction. Mr. Iris, Mr. Kate, will you cooperate?

"Oh, leave it to me!

"Ask Andre and the others to keep the information flowing!

"Yes, please"

For some reason, our operation had begun, confused and confused by Mr. Iris, who looked more alive than me.

◇ ◇ ◇

After rumors spread that I would buy them off at the same level as the merchants, the gatherers of ancient ginseng, rooted by Mr. Andre and his men, were all beginning to bring ice tooth bat fangs to me.

You'd be grateful to me, or you'd have an in-laws with Mr. Andre, but I guess the best reason is because I'd buy them out for the same amount.

And when more people bring it to me, even the newcomer collectors, so that they can be caught by it -.

"Lord Store Manager! We've been up against it and up the price!

"Ooh, ooh. Outside, you didn't seem to have the power to look ahead. Huuuuuuuuuu..."

I laugh low with my elbow on the counter, a little mastermind, to Mr. Iris, who jumped into the store.

Me now, cool.

"... Mr. Store Manager, you don't look good, do you?

"Is that right? Then I'll stop."

Wasn't there enough piercing for me yet?

"So, to what extent have you raised it?

When asked to stop elbowing, Mr. Iris answers with a few thoughts.

"You're saying 50% more. But in fact, it feels like 10% more than the previous price. It's my feeling, I don't know exactly."

"Even at that price, I think it's pretty tight...... do I need to collect that much?

If I'm going to give you that much money, I feel like I'm still going to get it cheaper if I bring it from other towns.

Or is inventory paying off in the surrounding cities or something?

"No, that's what we talked about, Lord Store Manager, and said, 'Has it finally gotten bitter? Almost there,' he said?

"Hard or painful?

About what?

"Mr. Store Manager, I'm sure the merchant thinks the store manager is having trouble purchasing ice tooth bat fangs?

"We've been selling to merchants lately, too. You never thought you could pick it up yourself if you needed it."

Hmmm...... Actually, I'm the target?

After all, I don't remember buying a grudge.

- Oh, but rebellion could be possible.

For example, South Strag's Bad Alchemist.

I'm sure we won't be able to get the material we were buying from the collectors in this village by now, and I'm in trouble - okay?

Well, that means my alert worked well.

The chances of him and this merchant being connected aren't zero, but for just retaliation, I think it's risky......

The act of turning other alchemists than me against the enemy.

- Here we go.

No problem.

Operation continues.

"Now, Mr. Iris, Mr. Kate, I'm going to start the example operation tomorrow, so please help me,"

Copy that.

"Yep. Why don't we ask Mr. Andre and the others, too?

"Well, it depends on how many people you're going to need, but let's ask the three Andres first"

Luggage transport personnel and fang recovery personnel.

After that... only the number of corpses, do you need your processing personnel?

Let's actually do it around there before we think about it.

"I'll leave Lorea alone with the store number for a while, please."

"Yes. It's okay. If something you don't know is brought in, you just have to say no, right?

"Yeah. Except for the regular guy."

Recently, there has been a credit transaction with regard to the materials brought in by regular customers.

Specifically, how Lorea keeps the material when I'm away and I assess it and pay for it the next time I visit the store.

Of course, it does not cover seemingly Mr. or newcomer collectors.

As far as Lorea can tell, she's issuing a redemption note that says the type and condition, but 'I gave it to her in better condition' or something, because it would be a hassle if she could put it on.

"Well, good luck tomorrow!

"" "Yes!
