The day after Carmilla came to visit.

I transferred to Howlin Village and visited the village chief, Leroy's house.

I understand you have something you'd like to discuss with me?

“Yes, there are two things I would like to discuss. First, I would like to ask Emilio if he can open a shop for the Harvest Festival."

"Is it the Emilio Chamber of Commerce? That's fine, but do you bother to do it for a harvest festival in the countryside like ours?"

The Emilio Chamber of Commerce is a portrait of the Chamber of Commerce representing the capital of the kingdom.

It comes to the countryside to do business. Normally, it is impossible, so it is not surprising that Leroy wonders.

I'll use my magic to get around.

I see!

Leroy nodded convincingly as he revealed the seeds.

If it is transferred by spatial magic, it will not cost you any money to move or spend any number of days.

As a chamber of commerce, you won't run a deficit, and you must be able to make a good impression on the villagers in Howlin Village who are looking after you.

“When the Emilio Chamber of Commerce comes and handles a variety of goods, the villagers will be very happy. I hope you can do it.”

“Okay, I'll tell Emilio that.”

All right, if I get permission from the Chamber of Commerce to open, it's like my big errands are over.

That said, the second one seems to be important to the Chamber of Commerce, so I don't have to be careful to explain it.

"Next is the second consultation." It's about the Borscht mushroom in Howlin. ”

"Bolshevik mushrooms!? No way, did Creto find them?"

Leroy rose from the chair and shouted.

"That's right."

"What! Do you have it now!?" If you have it, I would definitely like you to give it to me! "

"Please calm down, Mr. Leroy. My face is very close.”

Leroy was roughing out his voice and stepping out.

I wonder if he noticed that he was excited, but when he returned to me, he sat back in his chair.

"... excuse me." The borscht mushroom is my favorite.... "

No, no, no.

Even the Stella had that reaction. I didn't have to be too surprised, because I was expecting Leroy to be like that somehow.

For the time being, I'll show you the actual thing.

Place the pre-prepared box on the table and open the lid.

Can I touch it?

"Yes, that's right."

With a nod, Leroy lifts the borscht mushroom with the touch of a snort.

When I looked closely, I sniffed it close to my nose.

"Ohh... this rich and mellow scent is just like the Borscht mushroom!"

Leroy murmured with a trance expression.

It was like sniffing like you were tasting the scent carefully.

For my part, I wanted to move on right away, but Leroy was so excited that I decided to wait for a while.

After a few minutes, Leroy put the borscht mushroom back in the box.

“Where did you find this?”

It's deep in the forest where the Evila Monkey comes out.

"Deep in the woods... he didn't tell me where to collect it even though it was reasonable and stubborn."

"Is he an old man who can collect borscht mushrooms long ago..."

Yeah, because he was a former high-ranking adventurer.

I knew it, didn't I?

It was impossible to enter the depths of the forest where such monsters lived without certain strength.

The decision that the villagers did not teach them not to enter indiscreetly was also scolding.

"So this Borscht mushroom, Emilio is very interested, he wants the Chamber of Commerce to wholesale it."

Mm!

Explaining the Chamber's request, a deep wrinkle stood between Leroy's eyebrows.

Obviously, he has a strident expression that he cannot ignore the request.

It's a rare face for Leroy, who is usually warm and rarely grumpy.

Not only does he like it, but the villagers love the Borscht mushrooms.

Of course, not everything, but just a small amount is fine.

I see.

Instead of asking for it at random, I explained that I wanted it to be separated after taking proper care of the villagers, and the wrinkles came out from Leroy's eyebrows.

"As for Emilio, it seems that he thinks he can work with the villagers to cultivate it somehow, and he would like to discuss it with you during the Harvest Festival......"

“I see, it's certainly a very interesting story for us. Please include that matter."

Got it.

"So, Mr. Crete?" This Borscht mushroom..... "

After the conversation settled down, Leroy spoke to me in a rash.

It goes without saying what he wants.

I'll give it to you.

“Really!? Thank you!”

Leroy happily hugged the crate containing the Borscht mushroom.

I've been looking after Leroy for a long time, and depending on Emilio's movements, he'll be more closely connected to the Chamber of Commerce.

I feel like I've explained it to you somehow.

It would have been nice to hear from Emilio at the Harvest Festival, but considering the emotions of Leroy and the villagers, it seems that throwing it at halfway places would make the mentality of the Chamber worse, so I can't help it.



When I left home after talking to Leroy, I was suddenly slapped on the shoulder.

Looking back at what was happening, there was a grebe with a grumpy face.

“I don't want you to come and pick up the goods.”

Ah! A pig fur mat!

When I heard the words, I realized what Grievous was talking about.

Speaking of which, two weeks ago, I asked for the pig's fur to be processed, and that was it.

Emilio asked me to do a lot of work, discovered borscht mushrooms, and worked for the Harvest Festival, so I completely lost my mind.

“I'm sorry, I've been busy here lately.”

"Well, it's fine if you can even get the money properly." Could you come to the workshop once? "

"Ahh... can I travel by magic?"

If I have time, I can walk there, but I want to avoid wasting as much time as possible as Emilio reports after this.

Yes?

As she suggested so, Grieve gave a confused expression.

Many villagers know that I can travel by magic, but I don't think Greeve knows how it works. It seems that they often work in the workshop, so they may be distracted by such information. He didn't seem to know about me until Andre introduced him.

It's faster for me to experience it than to explain it, so I transferred to his workshop with Grieve.

When she came to the workshop, Grieve struck her with a surprise.

"N-no!?"

"This is how I can move around in an instant."

"... what an insane magic."

I think so, too.

I was surprised by the spatial magic of the grebe, but for the time being, I wondered if it swallowed the situation.

"The fur mat is this way. Please check it."

As I moved into the workroom with the greaves, I found fine fur on the workbench.

"Wow, it's a pig."

Well, I'm using pig fur.

Grive calmly slams into my voice of surprise.

No, I know that, but I was surprised because it still looked more like a pig than I had ever imagined.

Even though it was just fur, the figure stretched out in large letters was very powerful.

"I cut off my head, but did you stick it on me?"

"The only thing that doesn't have a head is that it doesn't look good, so I sewed it on. It won't break gently, but be careful with it.”

I gave it to my head as a material, but it seems that the grebe handled it well and sewed it on. Thanks to that, it looks like a very wild animal mat.

Can I touch it?

Here you go.

When I get permission to touch it, the fur is fluffy and feels very good.

When I disassembled it, it was more rough, so I was surprised at the difference in the feel.

When I turn it over, I see a grayish shade. There is no fur here naturally because it is the back of the skin.

There are traces of sewing around the neck, but I will not worry about it because only the fur is matted and used.

How is it working out satisfactorily?

"Yes, it worked better than I imagined." I'll pay the rest of the reward money. "

Receive the fur mat and hand over the money you took from your pocket.

It's a lot, isn't it?

"Thank you for sewing my head on."

Speaking of which, Grieve was honest and nostalgic, saying, "I'll take what I can get."

Nevertheless, I got something good. Also, when you hunt an animal, I'll ask Grieve to process it.



When I received Matt from the Greaves, I came to Emilio's office on a transfer.

Leroy gave me permission to open the Harvest Festival

"Thank you. I was hoping you could give me permission, so I'm getting ready." Is there anything else you'd like to take with you? ”

"I wonder if women are particularly happy with clothes and miscellaneous goods such as yarn and cloth?" Also, I think you'll be pleased with the cooking tools that you can't make in the village. ”

I was particularly interested in this area when I took Nina to the capital, and I also heard from Stella.

Maybe the women in Howlin want the goods around here.

"What about men?"

”Hmm... is it a man?”

The man in Howlin village is not that greedy. I don't see many people saying they want that.

If you have a strong obsession.....

"Like fishing rods?"

"Fishing rod?"

I'll tell Emilio with a strange face about the summer creek fishing.

"Ahahahaha, after hearing just one word, fifteen fishermen gathered?" That's funny! All right, I'll put the fishing rods on the list. ”

Emilio then laughed and put the fishing rod on the list.

Not all men were happy, but there were such enthusiastic fishermen. At least some people must be pleased.

Later, he mentioned the agricultural tools and sharp knives that the villagers used to mutter on a daily basis.

"Yeah, we can get it ready right away, so there's no problem." So, what about the borscht mushrooms? "

"After all, Leroy seemed to love that mushroom, and it was difficult to wholesale everything to the Chamber of Commerce." But maybe a little bit of it will make you feel okay? After that, Emilio said that he was quite interested in cultivation and would definitely like to talk to you about it. "

"Huh? You've done a lot for me even though you said you wouldn't negotiate?"

Emilio pushes in with a slightly unpleasant smile.

"I thought if I told you halfway, it would make me feel worse."

Yeah, yeah, I was hoping that Creto could sort of summarize it for me.

Emilio nodded in satisfaction as he told him to confess.

Looks like Emilio knew this was going to happen at the time I took the story.

Somehow it seemed like it was rolling in his palm, and I regretted it asexually.
