"Crete! Let's go to the secret base!"
Nina came to the house after finishing breakfast and getting dressed.
She seemed so excited that she knew she wanted to go see Yukiro and Yukinko right away.
“I'm sorry, Nina. I have to go to work today.”
Ugh!
I also want to play Yukiro and Yukinko at the secret base, but I'm called to work because of my hatred.
I can't refuse because I undertook it yesterday.
Emilio again?
Yeah, it's Emilio.
Nina's face was as if she was confused.
For older people who are not that close, it's basically Nina who mentors them, but it seems to be different for Emilio.
Is it because I'm leaving the village and can't go to play?
"When will Crete's work be finished?"
"I don't know the details. It could end in a day, or it could take a week or so like before."
Nina's face was clouded by my vague words.
It was all up to Emilio. It depends on how much work he does to me.
"I have the same desire to see Yukiro and Yukinko." I'll be back as soon as I can, so please wait until then. "
"... yes..."
As she bent over and gazed at her, Nina nodded unfortunately.
That area is dangerous because there have been pigs out there before.
Especially in this season, animals and monsters that move in search of bait can't read movement, so it's even more dangerous.
You can't go there unless you have strong adults like André and I can use the transfer.
Nina's parents have often commented on this.
She won't be able to go into the woods alone if she knows what she wants.
Well then, I'll go.
"Welcome back! Come back soon!"
Nina laughed gently as she dressed up and said.
Reassured by her switching her mind, I transferred. [M]
The view changes from your living room to Emilio's office as your vision bends sharply.
"Hey, Crete, I've been waiting for you."
Emilio stood up from the chair and approached immediately.
"... yeah? I feel like I'm suddenly very frustrated after some kind of encounter." Did I do something? "
A cute Nina saw me off, and she was waiting for a man with a black smile on his face.
There is too much difference between the smile of the person who will see me off and the smile of the person who will greet me.
This smile is too dark.
"Huh? Do you live with that girl when you say goodbye in the morning?"
"That's not true." You've only come to see me in the morning. I decided to refuse because of my work..... "
I was able to get rid of Emilio's sinister words.
The distance between the inhabitants is different in the countryside and in the capital of the king.
Going up to each other's houses is a frequent occurrence.
Emilio, who knows my life in Howlin 'Village, can't be mistaken. Obviously, I'm kidding.
"You've done a terrible thing to your daughter. If you take Crete again, you'll get angry."
You had that argument when we met at the Harvest Festival. I want you both to get along.
"So what do you want to do?"
"I want you to carry supplies by magic, just like you did at the Harvest Festival."
Is it this season?
"It's the season when snow is stopping logistics!" We can't afford to run out of supplies anywhere! There, my Emilio Chamber of Commerce rushes to sell supplies to the villagers in need. It's a very good deed, isn't it? "
However, it's higher than usual, isn't it?
"It's a transport that pushes through the snow." The journey is terrible and strenuous, and even the employees are burdened. It can't be helped that it costs more than usual. ”
I think that's what happens to my body because I keep secrets about magic.
I am truly sorry, but when I look closely, my mouth is loose.
It can be said that there is no transportation cost because of the transfer. Even though it doesn't take much effort, I can catch the price of selling things, so it's delicious as a merchant.
In addition, in a harsh environment, you can also sell the favor of coming here to sell supplies.
"You're a bad businessman."
"Go where there's not enough left." I'm just faithful to the basics of commerce. ”
I don't know how to do that.
That said, it's quite natural to be able to think of a way to generate big profits.
Will you do it?
There is no reason to turn down a business that we know is so profitable.
You came all the way to Howlin 'Village to celebrate the Harvest Festival.
"I'll do it. You're already ready, aren't you?"
Of course.
Looking at the back of Emilio's point, the carriage had already stopped, and the cadres who had come to Howlin Village were all there. It moves as fast as ever.
"All we have to do is ask Crete to store the replenishments and join us in doing business all over the place." Here's the list of places I want you to go. "
Looking at the list given to Emilio, it contained many cities, villages and settlements.
If you think about actually doing business there, you won't be able to go around in a day or two.
Looks like it'll take longer than expected.
Let's do our best to get back as soon as possible for Nina.
●
After transferring the wagons by spatial magic, I came to the side of Donkel Village.
When it lands, the carriage is buried in the snow.
Just like the capital city and Howlin Village, this one has a snowy landscape.
"...... I can't proceed because of the snow"
The ruler, Rodney, muttered, looking the same as usual.
In a big city like the King's City, snow is removed by wizards so that carriages can pass through, but this is not the case in such a countryside. It's because there aren't many people coming from outside.
Let's melt the snow with magic tools.
Emilio walked forward wearing a ring with a red magic stone on it.
It was probably a magic tool filled with fire magic.
No, my magic will make you leave right away.
"The magic of Crete is big?" All right, please. "
Emilio was puzzled by what I said, but he decided to leave it to me, so he stepped back.
"Sub-empty storage"
I activate space magic to make subspace appear.
Snow is being sucked into the subspace.
The snow around the carriage quickly disappeared, allowing the wheels to move without any problems.
Emilio, Rodney, and other employees roar.
"I see! You recognized and removed the snow as a storage item!" Please keep it up! "
"All right."
The excited Emilio asked me to swallow the snow in my direction.
Continuing along the carriage, he reached the entrance to the village of Donkel.
This was the first village I came to when I worked with Emilio.
There is only one village that was bound together in the early days, and there is a close interaction with the Emilio Chamber of Commerce.
Emilio-san! What kind of requirements do you need in this kind of snow?
The village chief of Donkel rushed in to see us from afar.
The unbelievable expression on his face is a testament to the fact that no one bothers to come to the outlying villages in the snow.
"It's been a tough season, so I thought everyone in Donkel Village might be in trouble, so I went all the way to trade."
"Oh no... you've come all the way for us...!"
"What are you talking about?" Aren't you close to the Chamber of Commerce and the village of Donkel? "
Emilio gently placed his hand on his shoulder at the village chief, who had a grateful expression on his face.
"What kindness. Thank you so much!”
The village chief looks like a saint who came all the way for the village of Donkel in the grim snow.
“I'm sorry, but the price is higher than usual because it's a tough journey.”
"It's only natural that you're carrying valuable supplies in the severe cold." This year, the fall harvest was delayed, and the winter stockpile was unacceptable. I'll buy it, even if it's a little expensive. ”
“I hope you understand.”
I didn't have any trouble because I came with the transfer, but I can't say anything, so I have no choice but to watch this farce. It's a little complicated.
Nevertheless, business is like this.
It's true that from the village of Donkel, where supplies are scarce, it would be really helpful to make a deal.
I refrained from thinking any further, and encouraged commerce.
