The Novice Alchemist’s Store

027 Commercial War (4)

"Phew."

When we went out of the cave, the sun had already fallen completely.

For the first time in a day I breathed heavily into the beautiful air and took a deep breath.

"I almost paralyzed my sense of smell, but I knew it was tight"

"Yes. So let's make sure it deodorizes"

Sprinkle the deodorant that you had brought properly all over your body with Pushpush, and firmly on Mr. Iris and Mr. Andre as well.

"Speaking of which, this was also recently placed at the entrance to the dining room. Did Cinzini put it down, after all?

"Yes. Talk to Mr. Dillall. I knew I was in trouble, and he understood me in two replies."

When I went to show him what I had made, he immediately said, 'Anyone who doesn't use this will be banned from going in and out!' So I decided to install it.

At first, he told me that he would buy it, but sometimes I was involved in the cause, and he lent it free of charge, and for every single use, the collector put the royalties in the tollbox.

"That's helping us, too. But is that, like, original?

"Uh, it's a deficit, for sure"

The usage fee is three rarities at a time.

Mr. Dilal said, 'I'll keep an eye on you!' So no one would not pay for it, but tonnes if it was lightly used.

Because the smell is tight and if used in large quantities, the complete deficit.

It is a service for collectors and for Mr. Dilal.

In a village like this, neighborhood is very important.

"Well, shall we go home now? Mr. Andre and the others, would you like to take some of this fruit home?

"... right. Try it."

"Right. Inn can handle it even if it sucks."

"I know it's okay, but if you're in a really bad state, come to us. Alchemist Potion, I will provide it. For a fee."

"Well, you're all right, 'cause our bellies are sturdy."

With that said, Mr. Andre and his men took the fruit out of the leather bag on my back, one by one or two, and transferred it to the leather bag I had.

"I'll keep it in our freezer for a while, so let me know how to dispose of it - if we decide whether to sell it or eat it ourselves"

"Ooh, thanks.... Oops, I did. Is it okay to divide the fruits and distribute them among the people? I'm sorry Cinzini only had to take it home and save it."

"Yeah, I don't mind. Thank you for your help, Andre."

The magic you need to carry it in the freezer isn't a big deal from me, and the freezer's empty.

"Is it good? We're not very helpful..."

"There's, well, a thank you for letting the nasty Gil hang out with you."

"I don't deny anything nasty."

Mr. Gill points to himself in Mr. Andre's words, leaking a slightly obsessive and dissatisfied word.

"Heh, well, I'll thank you for that."

"Helpful. I'm a little interested, and I don't have to eat to pay off my debts."

To the care of Andre and the others, Kate smiled and nodded.

"Well, thank you for today. Thanks again tomorrow."

"" "Ooh (yes)!

◇ ◇ ◇

From the next day, the gatherers, to whom Mr. Andre and his men spoke, also joined us.

Tons of ice tooth bats we hunted on the first day and ice tooth bats we hunt from day one onwards.

They took those bodies out of the cave, dug and buried the holes, and asked for them.

I was anxious to leave the amount alone to the purifying action of the forest, and this time of year, it would rot quickly and would definitely annoy me.

And ask them, at the end of the day, to go and sell the ice tooth bat fangs to the merchant.

Daily allowances to the extent of normal earnings and salaries paid to the gatherers by 10% of the selling price at this time.

In case they get away with the fangs I gave them, it's just the people Andre's been collecting there, and there's nothing particularly wrong with them, like a week.

The massive build-up of fangs and the visible decrease in the number of ice tooth bats in the cave separated Cinzini's activity there.

"So, Mr. Kate, how's the merchant?

It is difficult to go for sale in masked condition, so it is difficult to see how things are going directly.

So I'm going to ask Kate, who seems to be more trustworthy than Iris, about her modest judgment around there.

"I see a rush, I feel... what do you think?

"I heard you say, 'Unexpectedly sticky' or something?

Another piece of information was provided by Iris to Kate, who leaned over her neck in what was difficult to say after a few thoughts.

"'Sticky' is about me here, isn't it? Do you think I'm gonna cry because I can't get my ice tooth bat fangs anymore? From me, they're the ones who stick to it unexpectedly."

To be honest, the money that is gathering at my disposal for the sale of my fangs is so much that my cheeks unwittingly loose.

Once I showed it to Lorea, I pampered her mouth, waved both hands. Wow.

Then he blued his face and nearly fell.

I won't tell you the exact amount, but the level at which Alchemy Daiichi is priced and can buy as many sets as you want.

If you're not quite a merchant, I don't think it's that easy to collect cash so far... it sticks really well.

"Mr. Store Manager, I think you're probably moving your fangs to another town to dispose of them, right? Whatever it is, I don't think I was bringing that much money."

"That's what I thought, too. I've seen him go back and forth on horses several times."

"Ice tooth bat fangs sell high for small. Huuuuuuuuuu..."

"What's wrong, Mr. Store Manager? Laugh suspiciously."

"No, you're right, I thought."

Laughter spills unexpectedly on my supposed movements.

"What do you mean?

"Mr. Iris, where are the fangs I got in this village, if I were to sell them?

"Normally, it would be South Strag. Because it's closest. There are other small villages and towns, but they are inefficient to swallow goods."

"Right. And where does that sell to?

"... the average person doesn't buy it. You're an alchemist."

"Yep. And the South Strag alchemist. One of them is someone I know."

He stares at my face like Mr. Kate hassled.

"Maybe I contacted you beforehand?

"Yes, when I decided to confront you. I asked you to buy it down to the critical."

I entrusted Mr. Darna with a letter confirming the circumstances and having it delivered to Mr. Leonora.

Mr. Leonora gets cheap ice tooth bat fangs and I can restrict the merchant's sources of funding.

If you beat her too hard to buy, I tell her I'll provide it, so she doesn't have to worry about the lack of ice tooth bat fangs.

It could be brought to the bad alchemist, but that's when.

It's pointless to think about if a merchant and a bad alchemist are connected, and even if they're not, the amount of money an alchemist has in such a business is expensive.

It only increases the supply until it turns up the sound.

"That's right, it's all around the preparation... So small."

"Small is extra! We're going to grow!

To me, who insisted strongly, it was the raw and warm gaze directed at me by Mr. Iris and his men.

"Isn't that... impossible?

"What is it!

"No, because, Lord Store Manager, you're an adult, aren't you? Even in such a way."

"Such a shape!?"

"It's mostly up to adults, isn't it? Some kids grow up after that... but they're a minority."

"... I'm a minority, so what do you think?

Such a hope of mine, Mr. Iris shook his head with a bitter smile and denied it.

"Unfortunately, there are a lot of little kids who grew up in orphanages. Because I eat very little as a child."

"Ugh..."

I feel it, I do.

It wasn't enough to starve, but I could eat my stomach full, nothing happened.

I didn't work much, so I was a little reluctant...

"It's okay. Because the manager is cute enough."

"Yes, yes. You don't have to worry about it, to that extent. There are so many other good places in the store manager."

"I'm not comforted! We're both splendid, so you can say that! Yes! Yes!

Attack a little bit on the two pods.

Damn. You don't feel the same weight as me.

"... If you two fail to repay your debts, will you take this into the form of debt"

Distancing himself from me, as Mr. Iris and his men panicked, to the words I groaned bossly, sheltering his own breasts with both arms.

"Don't be scared!

"That's right. First of all, there's no point in taking it into shape!?... there's no point, is there? If you're an alchemist, you can do something about it!?"

"Yeah, I can't... I can't say, it's just plain worrying"

"Stop! Such a scary thing to worry about!

I shrugged my shoulders and laughed because they said that on a pretty serious face.

"It's a joke. In fact, if you're curious about that, you can do something with the smelting drug Potion. Tall height, proportions."

Hearing the words, Mr. Iris exhales, as he was also a little relieved.

You wouldn't do anything as bad as that, would you?

"That's the alchemist. Not half."

"Then, in time, will the manager really grow taller?

"No, I'm not going to use it"

Sometimes I still can't make it on my level, but this body of mine is the only thing my parents left me.

I'm not going to change that unnaturally.

That's why I hope it grows naturally... hopeless.

After all, it's a shame.

"... the manager cares about his parents."

"Yep. I don't have many memories, but I think they were respectable parents, because I was a child when I broke up with them, and my parents often left the house empty."

"... the manager is amazing. Because I care about my parents, and I work hard to be an orphan and not rot, and I am a solid alchemist."

"Right. It's not that easy to be an alchemist, though it's an orphan's dream."

My face gets unwittingly hot with words they both say stingy.

"Hey, what's up, suddenly? If I can be praised..."

I made an effort, but that's also because of the help of all sorts of people.

Master, orphanage teacher, other kids.

So if you get much praise, it's embarrassing.

"... Cohon. In the meantime, I still have ice tooth bat fangs. Operation continues."

"Pfft. Copy that. Leave it to me. 'Cause I'll keep my money rolled up tight."

"Oh. They buy it for a high price, because it's a good golden crawl"

"Yes, good luck with that"
