Transition to Another World, Landmines Included

226 Requests and the international situation (1)

"We've been waiting for you! Gentlemen."

It was Mr. Diola, smiling more than usual, who greeted us that day after a long visit to the Alliance.

It would also be helpless for Hulka to have a slightly surprising look at how Mr. Diola looked.

"Yeah, hello.... you didn't make any promises, did you? Can I help you?

"Yes, some. First of all, that's a milk bottle. It's in that room over there, so when you get home, please collect it."

"I get it. Why don't you pack it in and grab it?

"Yes, I'll let you know now that we have the appraisal results for the previously requested tin canes and jewels"

Having said that and taken off her seat slightly, Mr. Diola brought the sceptres and jewels she had previously kept and arranged them on the counter.

"First, this scepter. This is what is classified as a 'charismatic scepter'. It's a magic trick that when we talk about it, it subtly increases charisma."

"... subtly?

"Yes, subtly. By analogy, there's a difference between people in common clothes talking and people in cleric clothes talking."

It's a hard analogy to understand, but I know what you're trying to say.

A young man who says, "Here, seriously, it's safe. Because it's as safe and icky as it sucks! Saying," is completely different than saying that a gentleman dressed in a suit with Bisilli says, "This is a scientifically safe drug that has undergone proper clinical trials".

Neither of them even if they show any basis.

"By the way, you're a demonic prop in demand in the temple. I have a very special theory, because it looks like it is."

"Even if you're actually bad?

"Even if it's bad. It's not that dramatic."

It is a very real and dreamless demonic prop around the lack of "everyone obeys" effect.

No, I actually have trouble getting a demon prop that works like that, even if I get a wheelchair.

"... what do we do? We don't seem to have much use for it."

"Well, shouldn't you have it instead of savings? I can't help but have all the cash."

"Right. We don't have much trouble with cash, but on the contrary, we don't have to be cash."

In the case of adventurers travelling everywhere, it would seem that they would save by changing from portability to jewellery, etc., but in this case, if they did not do well, a diminution would occur in the interchange of jewellery with cash.

In our case, we have a magic bag, so we can carry large quantities of gold coins without difficulty, but conversely, we can carry the same amount of tight items, so we don't have to convert them into cash.

Like this time a scepter.

"I understand. If so, we'll keep taking it home. Another jewel, this one is called" The Gift of Benefit "."

The effect of the "Gift of Grace" jewel ", described as such, was a particularly strange object, even compared to the demonic props and the like obtained so far.

Hold this jewel in your hand and gain some favor "Gift" by using magic. That's the effect of this jewel.

The gift can be the ability to handle some kind of weapon, a technique such as cooking or blacksmithing, or an object with appearance changes, such as height or muscle strength.

Extremely, they even had jewels that changed their gender.

Something that we truly deserve to call a Grace "Gift", like the skills we have been given by God.

In this realistic world, the magic props that we know to date are a wonder that draws a line.

"So, what's the benefit of this?

"I'm sorry. We can't look that far."

"Huh?"

If you ask me in detail, it seems to me that the appraisal at Adventurer's Guild ensures that you look it up until the basic part, and when it comes to detailed descriptions, etc., it feels like 'lucky if you can look it up'.

Exactly. If you multiply that much by the appraisal fee for one gold coin, you can't even do it as a guild, I guess.

By the way, it seems that you can also request a detailed appraisal if you pay an extra fee, but the period and cost required will increase significantly, and if you do poorly, you will need a fee that doesn't make much profit selling it? True, it looks like a tool shop with a bottacular feel.

That said, I don't really seem to be boggling around because even as a guild I would rely on outside experts to look into it.

"Only high priests can find out what favors can be gained if they are the jewels of Grace Gifts. If you ask, you can find out..."

"Do you need some clothing?"

"Yes, that's quite expensive too. Would you like me to introduce you?

"No, just take it back and I'll get a feel for it."

"I understand. However, as an advice, I suggest you refrain from using it without looking into it. Because not all of the gifts are necessarily appreciated by everyone."

"I guess so."

As for the fear of mine skills, we know them well too - no, should I say that we are the ones (...) who know them well.

I know there's a side to it, because we said whatever we wanted, because Master Advastris showed us a lot of pretty vicious landmine skills.

Well, naturally it wouldn't be a busy thing if people who call themselves' Evil Gods' gave them convenient powers because of their beginnings.

If a suspicious voice invites you to seek strength, the last thing that ruin awaits is Temple.

I don't know if the existence that made this jewel is God, but given that only clerics can examine the effects, it seems unlikely that it will ever be.

Now we can't even get around with [help], so he won't be among us gambling like that.

Exactly, I don't think there's any [skill robbery], but even [attractive appearance], because if I or Hulka get it, it's gonna be a hassle.

"Well, next I'd like to ask you two or so things, one of which is a request to collect Red Strike Ox milk."

"Request to collect… Speaking of which, we haven't received many Alliance requests."

There's nothing in particular to be said about Lafan not having a request that matches our rank, because Mr. Diola knows it, but the only way to use our guild is to have him buy what he's been hunting for freely.

After about a year, the number of requests that have actually matured can only be counted.

There is little reason why we should not cooperate when we can.

"I get it. Just in stock."

"Oh, no. It's a little high. This is a bottle I'm going to give you, with a little over 100 bottles."

"Hiku!? That's... hard to collect, but are you okay with buying it out?

The size of the bottle I got made is close to the size of the bottle I made, so if it were 100 bottles, as many as 40 squeezes would be enough to collect. It seems a little difficult, but it's not impossible in itself.

The problem is the buyout amount.

Ordinary Strike Ox milk, about 10 gold coins per bottle. When it comes to red, it's "10 times stronger than that," so if you deliver 100 copies, you actually have 10,000 gold coins.

There are so many of our houses, 10,000 of them will be built.

The price of 10 gold coins in the first place is cheap in itself, given the quality of the milk we deliver, so it would be more than that at the right price.

"I have no problem paying. We've decided where to buy it, because they're noble."

When I asked, did you think it was Viscount Nenas who bought it and gave it as a gift to Baron Diaz next door?

That's nobility. The forehead of the celebration is different digits.

Celebrations worth 100 million yen... would nobility do that?

No, I guess I will.

Although I can only say the difference in values from the common people.

"But not a hundred copies of anything, no matter how much? Even if a couple drinks one cup each day, it seems like about two years worth of it?

"Mr. Hulka, it can't be the mentioning of nobility to only give a critical amount at a time like this. Except if we drink it ourselves, but if we give it to people, we have enough to waste. Look, Mr. Hulka, 'cause when you call someone's house, if there's only one bottle of wine on the table, it's gonna be hard to drink, right?

"... I don't drink wine, but you'll figure it out somehow. Even sweets are hard to reach when they're few."

I see. Even if you do reach for the potatoes that are served in large quantities, if you have less left, you'll be somewhat reluctant.

Even the last one of the fried chicken tends to stay.

Regardless of Mr. Diola's analogy, it may also be necessary to show that, given the nobility's looks and power relations, there is more than enough power to prepare.

"But didn't Viscount Nenas have any money?

"Even without it, it's noble to let it out if you have to. Even if you owe me money. It may be difficult for the common people to understand."

To my doubt, Mr. Diola shakes his head as he sighs.

Would you be in the mood to look for a cheap store for even one yen? Even though time is obviously more wasted.

... No, you don't.

Uh-huh, like lining up Japan's defense costs with neighborhood road repairs?

If you have money to buy a ship that costs hundreds of billions of yen, fix the road in front of the house, and be targeted.

Well, that's nonsense. It's not worth comparing.

Move large amounts of gold if necessary, while saving wherever possible.

I guess that's still quite capable, Viscount Naenas.

"I don't have much time, can you take it on?

"Yep. I'm looking out for Mr. Diola. But even the nobles give each other food, right? I was wary of poisoning you, and I thought you'd avoid that."

"Haha, noblemen in this country are not so slaughtered ~. Some magic tools detect poison, and if you do that in the first place, you'll find out who did it, won't you?"

Mr. Diola waves patterned with laughter.

Exactly.

But if you find out or kill me, okay, assuming you don't mind a dispute with that, you can't say it's impossible.

If that is not the case, then I guess the nobles of this country are not so vicious friends with each other.

"But if there's no certainty between the nobles, I'd appreciate it. As a commoner living in this country."

"You don't want to get into a dispute. Peace is best."

It feels like if it's not about us, you like it, but if the ruler does something crazy, there's no way it won't affect the common people.

This used to be Viscount Nenas territory, because it has an impact in the form of unreasonable control over the general public.

"Well, unfortunately, you're not saying there's no dispute, are you? Not much around here, because there are occasional minor disputes"

"What about war with foreign countries?

"There are no countries in war or clear enemies, but there are virtual enemies. I'm not that nervous."

That's Mr. Advastris.

They picked a safe area as well as a country to fly to.

He is a god who can work plain.

What a good chance we'd normally have died if we'd been flown to a war-torn country in that state.

To explain a little bit about the geographic relationship of this country, first of all, this country of ours is called the 'Kingdom of the Rainium', a relatively large country around here.

It is a country where the political situation is stable, where there is little extreme poverty or discrimination based on race, and where it is relatively easy to live.

To the east of the Kingdom of the Rainium is the 'Duchy of Austianim', which is quite strongly linked because this country is in alliance with the Kingdom of the Rainium and also has a marital relationship.

The situation in the country is also similar to that of the Kingdom of Lainium, but compared to the Kingdom of Lainium, it seems that religious relations are only a little more powerful.

That said, it's not a religious state, so even if we went to this country, it wouldn't feel cramped enough.

It seems that some temples are quite splendid, so if we're going on a sightseeing trip, this country will be our first candidate.

The slightly larger country, which runs from south to southwest, is the 'Empire of Yupikris'.

This country is the virtual enemy of the Kingdom of Rainium.

We also trade, and we're not directly staring at each other by force, but we can't be cautious with each other.

In the event of any conflict, we do not suddenly run into the use of force at first, but we are about to have a little discussion at first.

However, since there seems to be discrimination against subpeople in this country, I don't really want to get involved as an elf person.

Suddenly they get caught and enslaved, nothing like that, but it doesn't seem like a country where you can have fun and sightseeing.

In the southeast is the 'Kingdom of Feglei' and the political situation is somewhat unstable.

The relationship is closer, once friendly with the Kingdom of the Lainium, but just not contested in one way or another.

Although this country has not reached civil war, the inner circle is terrible and disputes between nobles are a daily tea meal.

Being involved poorly is only a hassle, so as a Reinium kingdom, you say that you are confined to the degree of sending messengers together in a liturgical manner? They barely trade either.

Normally, a country like this, invaded by another country, is likely to perish, but happiness or unhappiness is unattractive to the land, and its national nature is troublesome, so the cost benefits of invading are not matched, and it is abandoned.

People in this country, from other countries, have groundless electorate ideas, they discriminate terribly against subnationals and others, they also have class ideas among their own people, and it's hard to handle them anyway.

It seems that the Yupicrisian Empire once attacked and tried to put some area under occupation, throw down capital and proceed with development, but only capital has been consumed and failed greatly due to the low degree of privacy of the inhabitants, leading to the abandonment and lifting of the land.

Says: 'The best use of slavery in the kingdom of Fegley is to expel. It has negative effects just because it exists and has no use at all. If there is food to give to slaves, we should sell it off and hire even a tenth of the number of imperials'.

Since it is such a country, the standard of living of the people is also low and, in a different sense from the Yupikris Empire, not suitable for tourism.

So, the rest. It hangs from the west to the north of the Kingdom of the Rainium, but this area is called a blank zone.

There is no such thing as a country to establish national traffic.

It's possible to reach some country if you keep exploring, but it's no easier and more costly than demons exist.

There are many places in the country to develop before doing so, so there is no reason to do so.

The town of Raffan, where we are based, exists on the northwestern edge of such a Reinium kingdom, facing a blank zone.

By the way, I only knew the name of the Reinium Kingdom, but everything else is the first thing I've ever known since I asked Mr. Diola.

It's not that I'm not interested, but it's not that easy to find out, you know.

The common people don't have a chance to learn, so if they do poorly, they don't even know the name of their country.

In fact, the names of the other countries, as well as those of the Reinium kingdom, were so vague.

Around being able to explain it well, that's the Deputy Branch Manager of the Adventurer Guild.
