The day before leaving the Republic of Mar.

On this night, I decided to schedule a short time with Mr. Serene to log in to TB.

I have already completed my routine sword, an assignment from Mr. Masamune.

Tonight's purpose is mining, and he's back in a cave by the sea with an introduction to the Japanese-style guild.

The results were excellent and some minerals not found in Sarah could be obtained.

"Something still feels like my arms and hips are heavy. There's no specification for tiredness in the game, is there?

The topic now concerns instruction from Mr. Masamune until yesterday.

Mr. Serene seemed interested in making a knife, but as he asked how it was going, he muttered, "I'm glad I didn't go..." so he still didn't call me right.

"None... I bet. That's how hard Mr. Masamune taught you."

"After all, is it just because of your mind? It felt heavy."

"... shall we massage?

"I appreciate it, but I won't hesitate"

It's usually embarrassing... Mr. Serene is aggressive here and has trouble dealing with it.

To change the subject, I suggested we go around Notos' shop together.

Items and ingredients sold by NPC vary in type and price depending on location.

I couldn't get my hands off of it because I hung up on the event, so of course it wasn't well checked.

"Yeah, let's go. I was worried about the tool store too."

"I won't brace you, Mr. Serene."

"That's what you say, Hynd. What do you want?

"Are they sewing tools, regional yarns and fabrics, and seafood based ingredients? It won't rot in the inventory, so I thought I'd buy and store the ingredients in the current one."

"Well, Hynd, can't you tell me about people, too?

If you ask me, it doesn't seem much different than usual.

On the contrary, I have come to feel very different from the items I look around in real life shopping.

It's a corner, so I guess I'll buy some expensive blacksmith tools too...

Until now, I've only used a basic set.

Around some shops, after a while.

"Ah! Dear Hynd, Dear Serene!

It was when we were looking for sewing fabrics in the store.

This clear street good voice - and Mr. Serene hides sassy on my back before confirming the Lord of Voices.

Quick! And who is it?

It was an unimaginable figure who came out "from behind the store" waving his hand.

"Mr. Clarice!? How did you get to Marl?

"I heard a big demon show up and visitors are gathered for a crusade...... I can't believe this is how I see you! It's a happy coincidence!

Known person, so Mr. Serene slowly comes out of my back.

A soft smile on chestnut hair, definitely a merchant, Mr. Clarice.

An escort-like desert female warrior follows her slightly behind.

"Hello"

"Hello, Serene.... Oh, would I have disturbed you?

"Yes, no! Oh, that's not true...... right?

You and I were having such a conversation, and you flirted with me.

I wonder what this unscrupulous air is... I don't think it's caused solely by Mr. Serene's familiarity with the public.

Anyway, let's change the course of the field with a simple question first.

"What did Mr. Clarice do to Marr? Are we still in business?

"Half correct...... is it? Because it's the roots of the Chamber of Commerce."

That's what Mr. Clarice winked at me.

... Oh well! Did you talk to your grandmother?

So, he decided to start opening stores everywhere instead of going about business... that's probably what it is.

Sure, you instigated (or did) me do that before.

I'm not sure what the game time measure is, but the fact that it's moving toward opening stores this way seems that's all Clarice Chamber of Commerce is growing well.

"We focus our sales on Sarah's fabric, especially the rare Eisica Cross and Hynd-like mirrors. It doesn't feel bad, but I don't think I'm getting enough of another push..."

"I see."

That's where Mr. Serene grabs my clothes sleeve.

I seem to have something to say, so I turn my back on Mr. Clarice and take a little distance.

"What?

"Mr. Hynd, isn't this your chance to earn a liking?

"Oh... no, there was something like that"

"... you're not making money consciously? She seems to have a pretty good impression of you already."

"I'm not trying to confuse you, but it's not much different than talking to an actual human being. The systemic stuff is completely out of consciousness. After all, it's not how you feel about normal game characters."

"Maybe that part of you works better. It's been discussed on the bulletin board that attempts to blatantly target an increase in favorability will fail."

Really?

Even the actual human opponent, the one who sees the intention, put it on his nose.

It is also possible to sense that if the AI of TB...... is it?

Deep down, I'm going to be on the move side too, so let's keep it on track.

Mr. Serene's story continues.

"And one more thing besides favoritism. Maybe we can get an active distribution of things in the game via her? I think."

"Looks like mirrors have spread to the average home in Sarah?

"Yes, yes. There seems to be a lot of Japanese paper circulating to NPC merchants here in Marr."

"I was surprised when it came to Japanese paper."

The standard recording form that is popular in the TB world is parchment.

But once again, it's hard to write, expensive and smelly, and the advantage is that it's sturdy.

Reid events avoided less durable Japanese paper because of its use at sea, but right......

"Then would you like Mr. Clarice to provide and disseminate it even in western paper?

"That's what I was thinking, too. I often think I want regular paper when I pull my blacksmith drawings."

"So why don't you propose to Mr. Clarice first? I didn't know it was okay because I said before that I would handle anything of any kind, regardless of the genre, if it was a good product."

"What is a" cow ”? It's very interesting."

You couldn't wait, Nico and Mr. Clarice interrupt the conversation.

I wasn't talking so loud, but I didn't know I would react accurately to western paper......

Just fine, so explain the nature of the western paper as it is.

It's a hypothetical story about getting bored and maybe being able to make it.

"Well, cheaper than parchment in bulk? Thin and clean? Besides, can you say goodbye from that beast smell? How wonderful......!

"Oh, I get it. Even if the smell is thin when the treatment is polite, it comes quite a bit when it's cluttered."

"I think it won't be until we get back to Sarah to make western paper - right, Mr. Hynd?

"Right. However, the challenge will be to secure the timber at Sarah… we will follow suit and think of something."

"Thank you, please! Call my chamber of commerce whenever you need manpower!

Clarice, who undertook the distribution of western paper in two replies, told us about her schedule for some time to come.

They will also have more opportunities to go to other countries in the future due to store opening work, but I think I will take a sample of western paper somehow for my convenience.

"Master Hynd is really like a god of business to me......! Thank you, Serene!

"Wouldn't you like to overdo it? Maybe we'll say goodbye to each other like Eisica Cross again."

Mr. Clarice thanked us for shaking hands again and again, leaving with the escort woman warrior.

Waving goodbye, Mr. Serene pulls the sleeve of my clothes again.

What is it? A jito-eye is a rare look that doesn't seem like it.

"Good for you, Mr. Hynd. Even God."

"... what is it, that muddy face? You mean stick your cheek in it?

"Pussy...... chi, no! Enough!... and if you're going to make western paper, you're going to need wood rotting bacteria to break down lignin."

When I let go of Mr. Serene's cheek-pressed index finger, I turn my thoughts around.

A lignin is a molecule of a tree that must be removed when making paper pulp from wood.

And wood rotting fungus refers to the only fungus that can degrade this lignin.

Some mushrooms should be classified as this.

It should have been OK if the white rotting fungus in this was used in particular.

I need to get confirmation later because I am unsure of my memory….

"Sure, Liz had a ton of Sugihilatake, so let's look to cooperation. Which way, you will need to formulate drugs for decomposition. Ultimately, I want to use a safe mushroom, but it's not available at the moment."

"You're lucky. But Liz, how can you have something like that? It's a poison mushroom, right?

"Come on? Why not?

I don't know why, but Liz is obsessed with collecting poisons.

Some poisons dramatically increase the potion's healing action depending on the combination, so it is not insulting.
