Two days have passed since the battle. In a city where mercenaries and soldiers have successfully defeated herds of beasts, the night has been ridiculous and engulfed in uplifting air.
The background music was different from that before and during the battle, and one of the people sitting on the sofa stood in the reception room of the Ritte Shokai with two people sitting on the sofa.
"Well? Did you fly on your own and came back on your own?"
"I just thought you were controlling it."
Marrieda and Nicole open their mouths one after another.
"I didn't do anything. This guy moved on his own."
While staring at the red sword in her hand, Aldis expressed a non-floating expression.
"Hey, red-eyed woman ... Did you see Nicole?"
"It was so beautiful!"
"Yeah, it's pretty good information, that's it."
Marrieda smiles and smiles at Nicole, standing behind her and explaining happily.
"Do you really know this sword?"
"I tell you a lot, but I already told Aldis what I knew about it, because I don't know much more than that."
Marrieda's mouth is far from what Ardis wants.
Although he did not manipulate it, he moved himself and calmed down a monster that seemed to be immortal. Flying somewhere on his own and returning to Aldis's hand after a while. In addition, there is an illusion similar to Nere.
Originally, it was an unknown sword, but it became more and more suspicious.
"I don't accept returns."
"I don't think you bought it separately."
Aldis responds with a frown to Marida's light-hearted jokes.
To be honest, Aldis was starting to think that this might be a human thing. Hesitate Even if Marida asks you to return, you will be given a high pass. In some cases, it may be better to throw it somewhere out of the way. Aldis thought so.
The only salvation is that it doesn't have the mood like before. In the last few days, it turns out that the red variant has disappeared from the sword. Perhaps the curse was solved.
"Daughter. Why don't you get into the main subject? You're going to get your numbness cut off and say," If you don't do anything, go back. "
Nicole, gazing at Aldis's complexion, tells her heart.
"Yes. Aldis, I can't always connect."
"Your story is too long in the foreword. And why did you call me?
Byakuya Now, the members of Ted's "Mystery" should be in a famous bar when they serve delicious food in Leiting.
On the first day when Raitin was attacked by a herd of beasts, the Ardis and their guards repelled the beasts in the West Gate defense. At that time, Ted had promised that the senior captain, who led the guard, would treat him to a delicious meal instead of rewarding him. The post-war chaos has calmed down a bit, and we have finally taken a break, so today the captain was to guide you to a special bar.
Marrieda's call as if she were going sideways. Why did he call me at annoying times every time, there were enough reasons for Aldis to be unfavorable.
Aldis is not dissatisfied with eating free sake or free food. I just don't like being swayed by the gray-haired merchant sitting in front of me, and I just want to dive into the bed because she's purely drowsy.
"That's the main subject. Aldis, you seemed to have defeated mecha in this battle."
"It's too much to say messy. I hunted a good number."
"No, no, you said that" it's like that ", and if there were no other mercenaries, including me, would stand up."
Nicole immediately enters Tsukkomi.
The number of demons that Aldis defeated in this battle was 87. Although it was not possible to use up all of the hundred tags, it would easily exceed one hundred if monsters that were defeated with attack magic from above the walls were included.
Of course, individuals defeated by attack magic could not receive a tag, so they could not receive their defeat reward. However, even if you look at it, you can get 861 gold coins only for 87 defeat rewards.
In addition, some monsters are traded at high prices for their parts. The degenerate wing-like parts on the back of Whips, the furs of Hounds and Trons, are very expensive.
"Well, the demons that Aldis hunted. Would you like me to buy them at home? I'll study at a friend's price."
"No, why do I have to study to sell this? Or maybe the opposite. When did you and I become friends first?"
Tomo: "I heard a little bit, Nicole !? This unassuming attitude! This way to overcome the hardships together!"
"Daughter. Did you hear that guy's line? First, I said that I didn't look like that, but I think it was like that from the beginning."
Nicole turned coldly at Marida, who turned around and asked for his opinion.
"Is that so too?"
The short-haired girl recovers easily and proceeds as if nothing had happened.
"Okay, so I'll get it at the market price."
"So why are you so dressed up, are you?"
Marrieda with a tone of condescension, just to buy it at the market price. It is Nicole who puts his mouth to Aldis who does not want to hide his disgust.
"That's true, how are you going to recover that number? Not only the recovery but also the human resources to dismantle it? I have no one to hire even though I have money. ''
Most of the defeated herds are beasts, not demons. If left alone, it will rot and cause plague, so it must be burned and buried immediately, before anyone would want to recover valuable material. Even if the value is lower than that of a monster, it can be sold at high prices such as fur and fangs. And the amount is not.
Soldiers and militia do not have tags like mercenaries. Naturally, no one knows the ownership of a beast that falls outside the city. It would be more accurate to say first come, first served. As a result, people are all crushing the beast and trying to get the material. Some even took the pre-adult children and collected them in the whole family.
Damage from the herd of beasts and the loss of distribution are significant, but the benefits of demons and beast materials will likely make up for them. Having gained a mountain of materials that would not normally be conceivable, Ratingin is booming like never before.
"Some people try to collect the material themselves, and some have been hired by the mercenaries as recovery workers. Do you think there's no one looking for a job in Ratingin right now? Even soldiers are off duty He seems to go out to earn money. ''
Skull soldiers are tasked by the state with burning and burying beasts. But a soldier is a child of man. On holidays, it is unavoidable to go outside with a knife for dismantling to warm your pockets.
"Our company has a lot of temporary employees."
Marrieda smiles for business as soon as she says.
"Isn't the tagging effect going on forever? Sure, you're strong. If you're capable of defeating monsters, you're good."
But Nicole points out that the story will be different if it is broken up.
Sure, Aldis doesn't bother fighting demons. But if it comes to dismantling or collecting, the story is different. Aldis has the basic skills, but his speed and accuracy are not as good as other mercenaries.
Still, that's not a reason to panic over Aldis. If you freeze it and submerge it in the ground like you did in Tria, you can work slowly over time.
"Dismantling can be anything"
"Well, what do you buy? Where do you intend to sell the recovered materials?"
"A separate company isn't just here."
"That's not the case. There isn't much of a firm that can buy a large amount of material that Aldis sells."
An unexpected answer comes from Marida's mouth.
"What? What? There may be other firms in Ratingin."
"Well, there are many small firms."
It was Nicole who spoke to Aldis.
"Originally, there were four large firms in Leiting, one of which was the obvious Litte firm, and one of which was the Lovell firm--"
"Circle?"
"Yes, that's right. Lovell's business failed a while ago, and it's just getting somehow recently with a loan from Litte. It's natural that there's room to buy it on a large scale. Absent"
"There are two more fours?"
"Oh, that's another problem. Of the four, the one that has gained most momentum in recent years is the Zimbaril firm. Haven't you heard the name?"
"Is it a firm that raised a lot of stock in this case?"
"That's it, and this firm broke up."
"... what?"
Aldis, who didn't know what Nicol was saying for a moment, whispered silly.
"Splintered"
Nicol's words repeated there.
"... What does it mean to stray?"
Suddenly, "That's right. It looks like a guy named Julis, the chairman of the Commerce, has disappeared. In the middle of the battle, he witnessed on the wall at the end, and he seems to be missing."
Initiative "It seems that it was gone when the fight was over. It seems that the people including Julis have disappeared all over the place, so it seems that the confusion is already a good place. It looks like it's about to turn, but I hope Julis will take most of the working capital out of it.
While shrugging, Marrieda reveals information that is only known to fellow merchants.
"Of course you can't afford to buy a lot of material?"
"That's it."
"Oh, the last big shop, the Loatian firm. This is perfect and perfect. This is a policy that has recently been based on a partnership with Zimbaril. I'm going to get angry because of the stupidity, because they've been tied up with Gatchiri to make them think they're under the umbrella of Zimbaril Shokai. The chairman over there will probably be blue now. "
It was Nicole who just said that it did not have good feelings with the Roatian firm.
"That's why. Other firms are too small to buy a lot of monster materials because they are small, and first of all, I think that I have already dumped my money with the purchase so far. It's only my firm that can buy Aldis's material at Ratingin. "
"I'm saying something, are you worried about this lady, you?"
Marrieda said that the villain actor, the villain, was still better, but was immediately panicked by the side of Nicol.
"Foo !? Cho! What are you talking about Nicole?"
"As I said earlier, the only thing that can buy a lot of material at Ratingin is Litte Shokai, but are you still waiting for a lot of material to be collected outside the city walls? There is no doubt that the material will eventually dub. ''
"Hey Nicole!"
Marrieda makes a protest.
"What happens then? More people want to sell, but no one can buy. As a result, the end point is lower material value, which means they want to buy cheaper."
"You don't have to say anything extra"
Marrieda reaches out to close Nicol's mouth, but she is a skilled mercenary with three dispares. The stretched hand is also dodged. The appearance resembles a kitten jumping at a cat.
Symptom "It seems that it is still out now. It seems that grass wolf's fur has fallen by more than 20% from seven days ago. It won't be completely unaffected, just do it with the gentleness of a young lady, who wants to buy it at the right price before it goes down. "
Marrieda finally realized that the resistance was useless, and turned to the point where X was evilly standing behind Nicole. Its ears are stained red, the same as the face of a drunk Orfelia.
On the clumsy side of Marrieda, which I have never seen before, Aldis has lost her irritability. Aldis was supposed to blow out, but when he barely avoided it, he answered with a bitter smile.
"I understand. I'll talk with my friends."
Eventually, Aldis asks Litte Shokai to dismantle the hunted monsters and purchase materials. There was no other choice, but Norris was also pointed to the star by saying, "In short, Aldis just didn't like the chairman named Marrieda?" Without thinking of his feelings for Marida, he reconsidered that it was certainly not a bad story.
After that, Aldis and Ted and others, "Midnight of the White Night", will stay in Leiting for a while for post-processing. After receiving the rewards and selling the materials, the Ardiss left Leiting for the royal city Gran, about ten days after their defeat.
