Currently, I am picked up by Benno and heading to the commercial guild.
At first I walked properly, but Benno, who was frustrated by my walking speed, yelled, “Slow!
And if you preach on the importance of time, you can’t resist.
“That’s right, Benno-san. What is a commercial guild?”
It’s best to ask in detail if you don’t know what the difference is from what you know.
“What do you know?”
“I have never been there. Do you know Lutz?”
“Where are the guys who are going to go?”
Talked to Lutz that everyone in the city knew it, but I was able to understand that I returned.
Benno gives an explanation with a light sigh.
“… Well, that’s right. The main job is to give you the permits you need to open a store in this city and to punish those who are doing bad business. You can’t open a store without permission, you can’t open a stall in the market, and everyone involved in the business needs to register, and if you don’t register, you will be severely penalized. “
Listening to Benno’s story, is it like a government office related to business? I guess. If you don’t get permission, you won’t be able to open the store and register apprentices.
“It looks like a powerful organization”
“That’s right. It’s powerful and clinging to money. If you have an apprentice, it’s a registration fee.
It may be the same in any world that it costs money to do anything. It is a disgusting world for the poor.
“In any case, if you finish the baptism and become a merchant apprentice, you will be registered. All the people who work in the store will be in a position to buy and sell. In your case, you will be temporarily registered until the baptism. But if you don’t register, you won’t be able to buy or sell items like paper and hair ornaments. “
“Do you mean that Mr. Benno needs to register to buy paper today?”
“Yes”
I see. Benno’s rush to register seems to buy a prototype.
When I was convinced by myself, Benno’s eyebrows were sharply drawn.
“It’s all right if the registration is over, but it’s that damn old. Anyway, it’s decided to come back again.”
“The difficulty?”
Somewhat calm words came out. I thought Benno was a great commercial guild, but is it different? Or is it like a factional struggle?
“It’s my store that’s gaining momentum and expanding more and more. There’s no way the guild leader wants to rip off even a little?” Don’t say anything extra
“Yes”
Lutz and the two responded with the same voice. There is no intention of imitating a beak between a spear and a spear that will be developed by traders.
“Yes, Mine, it’s a hair ornament you brought in.”
“Is this it?”
When I opened the tote bag a little and showed a hair ornament, Benno looked at me with sharp reddish-brown eyes after a small whisper.
“How much can I make this?”
“If you have all the ingredients and Lutz made a piece of wood, then I’m in good health … Somehow … “
Depends on the amount of florets, but my speed is a day job. If you are a good mother, you can make two bells.
“How about Lutz?”
“Since you only cut and polish the wood, you can make it if you have enough time for one bell?”
“Fum, good”
Benno says that with a good voice, but only the eyes shine with a sharp light.
“What do you like?”
“I’m looking forward to this”
There was a commercial guild building in front of Benno, smiling like a targeted carnivorous beast.
The commercial guild was a large building on the corner facing the central square. Although it turns out that it is an organization that has quite a lot of money, it seems that it is a guild building that is not lent to anyone from top to bottom.
“Do you get angry when you think the money I earned is poured here?”
“That’s right, but don’t you need it?”
“Yes, it’s even more annoying”
A guardian with a weapon stands in front of the door, and after looking at us from the top to the bottom, he asks for his requirements.
“What are the requirements?”
“Tentative registration for these guys”
“Please”
When I got the door open and went inside, I suddenly got into the stairs. The stairs are rather wide, but the first floor is missing.
“Benno-san, what’s going on the first floor?”
“Oh, the first floor is a place for travel merchants to place carriages and carts. It’s annoying if you stagger on the main street. You should see the carriages on the back.”
On the second floor, there was a large hall.
A lot of people come and go in it. With so much noise, I was so amazed that there were so many people in this city.
“There is no use here. Going up to the third floor from the back stairs”
It was safe because I headed to the back stairs while Benno was holding it, but Lutz walking behind Benno was messed up.
“Lutz, are you okay?”
“I’m fine, but it’s like a festival”
“Because you are applying for a market stall or getting a permit to travel here in the city, this is what happens when the city approaches. Once the city is over, it will be quiet for a while.”
“Hey”
A solid metal fence was attached to the back stairs, and a guard was standing in front of it.
“Please give me a registration card”
“Three people go up”
“I’m gone”
Benno took out something like a metal card and handed it over to something.
When you think white light ran through the fence, it disappears as the fence melts.
“Wow! What is this?”
“A magic tool. Lutz, don’t take my hand off.
“Ooooo”
Benno holds me with one hand, pulls Lutz’s hand with the other, and begins to climb the stairs.
“Isn’t magic only available to aristocrats?”
“The upper layers of these organizations are generally connected to nobility. Many aristocrats are willing to give magical tools if they think it is profitable.”
“I saw it for the first time”
I thought at the time of contract magic, but I seem to be in a more fantasy world than I expected.
When I went up the stairs, Benno released Lutz and took me down.
A white wall continues for a while after going up the stairs, and a counter-like place can be seen in the back. The second floor is a place where you work for market stalls, and the third floor is a place that corresponds to the owner who owns the store.
The second floor was a dirty place with wood on the floor and dust on the edge, but the third floor was carpeted and cleaned. The atmosphere is like spending money on both furniture and maintenance. A disparity society at a glance.
“Beyond this wall is the conference room. You are unlikely to use it.”
Pointing at the white wall, Benno starts walking toward the counter while explaining. I’ll follow Lutz with my hands. It’s a bit of a luxury that you don’t see in everyday life.
After passing the meeting room, there is a counter from wall to wall, and apprentice children who come in and out of the commercial guild read the wooden bills in the back, and calculate using the calculator There was a figure.
“Lutz, I have to learn letters and calculations during the winter”
“… That’s right”
On the other side of the counter across the corridor, there is something like a sofa, so it is more like a reception room than a waiting room.
Looking around, there was a shelf with wooden bills and parchment on the wall.
“Is that a book shelf?”
Benno looked mysteriously at me when the tension increased and leaned my head.
“Oh, that’s a book shelf with rules for opening a store, a simple map of the area, and an aristocratic yearbook …. Are you interested?”
“There is!”
Immediately I want to rush towards the bookshelf, but I can’t let go of my hands with Lutz.
Benno laughed at me when I saw the frustration.
“You can see it when you finish the application. The waiting time is long anyway.”
“Is it true !? I did it!”
“Mine, calm down, I’m too excited”
Can I find something that I can read and not get excited? No, I can’t. Even if you hear Lutz’s restraint, this exciting feeling cannot be stopped.
I thought so, but with Lutz, I was forced to be quiet.
“If you’re too excited, you’ll fall down before you read”
…… That is a problem!
Listening to Benno, who was watching our exchanges in an interesting way, called out to come.
When I walked to the counter, a staff member who seemed to know Benno was smiling.
“Oh, Benno-sama, what are you doing today?”
“Temporary registration of the two. Ask Mine and Lutz for two.”
“Temporary registration? Not a child, right?”
“No, but I need to register. Just go ahead”
Temporary registration seems to be a loophole in the law that merchants have devised to help the family work before children who should not be able to register or work.
It is not possible to hire a child before baptism, and it is not normal for such a child to be involved in buying and selling that requires registration without a parent. Absent.
Employees narrowed their eyes suspiciously, asked questions to me and Lutz, and began to write something beyond the counter.
What I heard was only normal items if I thought it was a government office job. Your name, father’s occupation and name, where you live, age, etc.
“Is the daughter of a soldier temporarily registered as a carpenter’s son?”
The staff who finished the question looked more suspicious and looked at me and Lutz alternately. Even though he is not a merchant’s child, he seems to be exploring the meaning of tentative registration and is not very comfortable.
“Yes. Once you have finished listening, please end registration. This is not too much time.”
“Yes, now. Please wait for a while”
The staff pointed to the relaxing space by hand, so I looked up at Benno, holding down what I wanted to start.
“Can I look at the bookshelf while waiting?”
“Ah. I’ll tell you if I have something to know. Bring it. Lutz, don’t take your eyes off Mine”
“I understand”
Going to the bookshelf with Lutz who can’t let go. Try to spread the parchment lined up, take out the wooden bill, and check what kind of things are lined up, maps, pictorial books, aristocratic yearbook, commercial law, surrounding information It was just a practical one, such as a tile-like one.
“Wow, this is a map!”
It’s a pretty rough map, but I’ve never seen it before.
With a map that I don’t even know where I am, I head to the sofa where Benno is sitting.
Ordinarily sitting on the couch, it was a beautiful upholstery, but there was only a board under the cloth, and there was no elasticity as expected, and I hit my hips.
“It was …”
“Because I’m so excited, I sit so fast, Abu”
Seen by Benno with amazed eyes.
A strange place was deceived because of a luxurious sofa. I didn’t sit down like this on a bench with a wood grain.
Spreading the map on a chaise longue with a cloth on the board, making excuses only in my heart.
“Benno, what is this city?”
“Here. Ehrenfest. The lord’s house name is the name of the town.”
First time I knew the name of the city. I also learned the name of the lord.
If you don’t need to go outside, you don’t need to know the name of the city, and the lord was all that was needed.
Looking at the map, the village and forest spread to the south of Ehrenfest.
west has a big river, it is relatively close to the town of the neighboring territory, and the lords are close friends.
Since there is an aristocratic town with lords in the north, there was a large gap.
There is a highway in the east, and there are many travelers.
“Well, it’s probably not going to come out of this map even if you go out for purchases.”
After getting the names of some nearby cities, return the map and read the bookcase from one side. At the bottom, there was also a book for apprentices to learn letters and numbers. Take a quick look to study with Lutz.
In addition to the letters I remember, there are many words related to business. I want to remember this.
“Mr. Benno wants a stone and a calculator to study Lutz …”
“Oh, let’s subtract the money from the money we pay today. Study hard.”
“Please tell me, how much can you read and write with the merchant children’s apprenticeship?”
After the baptismal ceremony, the apprentices work with merchant children. By then, I want to be able to do to some extent what other children can do.
“It’s simple reading, writing, and calculating. Because the name of the reading is the main, it depends on what is handled and the size of the house. You can usually calculate from copper to silver.”
Bad.
I am not sure of the currency. I know that there are big and small copper coins and small silver coins, but I don’t know the exchange or the market price.
Because it’s basically only copper coins used at home.
seldom sees any currency other than copper. And at the gate, I have never seen Otto actually spend money just by calculating numbers.
“I think what you lack most is dealing with customers, because other kids look at their parents’ work every day and know their skin.”
“That is …”
It is impossible for us.
From a long time ago, I have never been to the service provider and the service provider. Lutz probably doesn’t know what the merchants know.
What should I do?
The voice of the staff echoed from the counter before getting into the maze of thought.
“Benno-sama, the guild leader wants to see you.”
“… that damn old, as expected”
¡Benno whispered like a small, low-pitched voice that can only be heard by us.
It turns out that Benno is in the fighting posture as a whole, such as glaring eyes, fists firmly held on both sides.
“Let’s go, both of us”
“Yes”
When Benno headed to the counter, the counter board on the farthest edge fell off, allowing him to pass deeper.
There was a staircase in the back, and when I went up the stairs, the door opened automatically. You can see a cozy room that is not very large.
A warm carpet was laid in front of the fireplace, which was already burned red, and there was a desk for work on the carpet.
Sitting there was a gentle man in his fifties who was a little wide. I was imagining a grandmother because the guild chief is in a position, but it seems that the work is still a little past.
“Hey, welcome. I want to hear a little talk”
The guild chief stood up laughing.
“Now, Benno. I want you to tell me right away. What does it mean to have a child who is not a blood clan, register this child temporarily?” Isn’t it different from saying that you want to make it? ”
Benno says that he wants to register without waiting for the baptism ceremony, which is the same as Guild said that Lutz holds a product that is worth registering. Said with a smile.
“… Unless you have a clear purpose, you can’t allow registration. This Ehrenfest has no precedent, including temporary registration for non-blooded children.”
Look at me and Lutz with a smile that doesn’t read what the guild leader is thinking.
た Although it looked gentle at first glance with a smile and atmosphere, it is not kind at all. I’m threatening to register if I don’t answer the question exactly.
Listening to Benno, I was worried about the state of the guild chief saying that I wanted to say.
However, Benno stares at the guild head with a black smile that is convinced of victory and grinning.
“Do you want to know what these children brought in?”
“Well, yes. Depending on the thing, you may want to handle it in another store. You’re a little too open.”
If you’re going to make money, you mean you want to intercept it. Isn’t the truth really hidden?
“These children said they wanted to sell them in their homes. They would sell them in their homes. Well, Mine?
Ben and Lutz struck me with a threat, saying “Don’t say anything extra”. Benno, who seems to be good at it, smiles and looks down at me.
“Mine, show me the hair ornaments you will sell to the guild head”
“… I understand”
Apparently, he’s still going to keep secret about selling paper.
Because I don’t know what Benno is doing, I put my hand into the tote bag with my mouth swallowed as much as possible so as not to say anything extra.
取 り 出 し Take out Turi’s hair ornament and present it so that it looks like a guild length.
The moment the guild head suddenly changed her complexion.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

And if you preach on the importance of time, you can't resist. That's right, Benno-san. What is a commercial guild? It's best to ask in detail if you don't know what the difference is from what you know. What do you know? I have never been there. Do you know Lutz? Where are the guys who are going to go? Talked to Lutz that everyone in the city knew it, but I was able to understand that I returned. Benno gives an explanation with a light sigh. Well, that's right. The main job is to give you the permits you need to open a store in this city and to punish those who are doing bad business. You can't open a store without permission, you can't open a stall in the market, and everyone involved in the business needs to register, and if you don't register, you will be severely penalized. Listening to Benno's story, is it like a government office related to business? I guess. If you don't get permission, you won't be able to open the store and register apprentices. It looks like a powerful organization That's right. It's powerful and clinging to money. If you have an apprentice, it's a registration fee.It may be the same in any world that it costs money to do anything. It is a disgusting world for the poor. In any case, if you finish the baptism and become a merchant apprentice, you will be registered. All the people who work in the store will be in a position to buy and sell. In your case, you will be temporarily registered until the baptism. But if you don't register, you won't be able to buy or sell items like paper and hair ornaments. Do you mean that Mr. Benno needs to register to buy paper today? Yes I see. Benno's rush to register seems to buy a prototype. When I was convinced by myself, Benno's eyebrows were sharply drawn. It's all right if the registration is over, but it's that damn old. Anyway, it's decided to come back again. The difficulty? Somewhat calm words came out. I thought Benno was a great commercial guild, but is it different? Or is it like a factional struggle? It's my store that's gaining momentum and expanding more and more. There's no way the guild leader wants to rip off even a little? Don't say anything extra Yes Lutz and the two responded with the same voice. There is no intention of imitating a beak between a spear and a spear that will be developed by traders. Yes, Mine, it's a hair ornament you brought in. Is this it? When I opened the tote bag a little and showed a hair ornament, Benno looked at me with sharp reddish-brown eyes after a small whisper. How much can I make this? If you have all the ingredients and Lutz made a piece of wood, then I'm in good health Somehow Depends on the amount of florets, but my speed is a day job. If you are a good mother, you can make two bells. How about Lutz? Since you only cut and polish the wood, you can make it if you have enough time for one bell? Fum, good Benno says that with a good voice, but only the eyes shine with a sharp light. What do you like? I'm looking forward to this There was a commercial guild building in front of Benno, smiling like a targeted carnivorous beast. The commercial guild was a large building on the corner facing the central square. Although it turns out that it is an organization that has quite a lot of money, it seems that it is a guild building that is not lent to anyone from top to bottom. Do you get angry when you think the money I earned is poured here? That's right, but don't you need it? Yes, it's even more annoying A guardian with a weapon stands in front of the door, and after looking at us from the top to the bottom, he asks for his requirements. What are the requirements? Tentative registration for these guys Please When I got the door open and went inside, I suddenly got into the stairs. The stairs are rather wide, but the first floor is missing. Benno-san, what's going on the first floor? Oh, the first floor is a place for travel merchants to place carriages and carts. It's annoying if you stagger on the main street. You should see the carriages on the back.On the second floor, there was a large hall. A lot of people come and go in it. With so much noise, I was so amazed that there were so many people in this city. There is no use here. Going up to the third floor from the back stairs It was safe because I headed to the back stairs while Benno was holding it, but Lutz walking behind Benno was messed up. Lutz, are you okay? I'm fine, but it's like a festival Because you are applying for a market stall or getting a permit to travel here in the city, this is what happens when the city approaches. Once the city is over, it will be quiet for a while. Hey A solid metal fence was attached to the back stairs, and a guard was standing in front of it. Please give me a registration card Three people go up I'm gone Benno took out something like a metal card and handed it over to something. When you think white light ran through the fence, it disappears as the fence melts. Wow! What is this? A magic tool. Lutz, don't take my hand off.Ooooo Benno holds me with one hand, pulls Lutz's hand with the other, and begins to climb the stairs. Isn't magic only available to aristocrats? The upper layers of these organizations are generally connected to nobility. Many aristocrats are willing to give magical tools if they think it is profitable. I saw it for the first time I thought at the time of contract magic, but I seem to be in a more fantasy world than I expected. When I went up the stairs, Benno released Lutz and took me down. A white wall continues for a while after going up the stairs, and a counter-like place can be seen in the back. The second floor is a place where you work for market stalls, and the third floor is a place that corresponds to the owner who owns the store. The second floor was a dirty place with wood on the floor and dust on the edge, but the third floor was carpeted and cleaned. The atmosphere is like spending money on both furniture and maintenance. A disparity society at a glance. Beyond this wall is the conference room. You are unlikely to use it. Pointing at the white wall, Benno starts walking toward the counter while explaining. I'll follow Lutz with my hands. It's a bit of a luxury that you don't see in everyday life. After passing the meeting room, there is a counter from wall to wall, and apprentice children who come in and out of the commercial guild read the wooden bills in the back, and calculate using the calculator There was a figure. Lutz, I have to learn letters and calculations during the winter That's right On the other side of the counter across the corridor, there is something like a sofa, so it is more like a reception room than a waiting room. Looking around, there was a shelf with wooden bills and parchment on the wall. Is that a book shelf? Benno looked mysteriously at me when the tension increased and leaned my head. Oh, that's a book shelf with rules for opening a store, a simple map of the area, and an aristocratic yearbook . Are you interested? There is! Immediately I want to rush towards the bookshelf, but I can't let go of my hands with Lutz. Benno laughed at me when I saw the frustration. You can see it when you finish the application. The waiting time is long anyway. Is it true !? I did it! Mine, calm down, I'm too excited Can I find something that I can read and not get excited? No, I can't. Even if you hear Lutz's restraint, this exciting feeling cannot be stopped. I thought so, but with Lutz, I was forced to be quiet. If you're too excited, you'll fall down before you read That is a problem! Listening to Benno, who was watching our exchanges in an interesting way, called out to come. When I walked to the counter, a staff member who seemed to know Benno was smiling. Oh, Benno-sama, what are you doing today? Temporary registration of the two. Ask Mine and Lutz for two. Temporary registration? Not a child, right? No, but I need to register. Just go ahead Temporary registration seems to be a loophole in the law that merchants have devised to help the family work before children who should not be able to register or work. It is not possible to hire a child before baptism, and it is not normal for such a child to be involved in buying and selling that requires registration without a parent. Absent. Employees narrowed their eyes suspiciously, asked questions to me and Lutz, and began to write something beyond the counter. What I heard was only normal items if I thought it was a government office job. Your name, father's occupation and name, where you live, age, etc. Is the daughter of a soldier temporarily registered as a carpenter's son? The staff who finished the question looked more suspicious and looked at me and Lutz alternately. Even though he is not a merchant's child, he seems to be exploring the meaning of tentative registration and is not very comfortable. Yes. Once you have finished listening, please end registration. This is not too much time. Yes, now. Please wait for a while The staff pointed to the relaxing space by hand, so I looked up at Benno, holding down what I wanted to start. Can I look at the bookshelf while waiting? Ah. I'll tell you if I have something to know. Bring it. Lutz, don't take your eyes off Mine I understand Going to the bookshelf with Lutz who can't let go. Try to spread the parchment lined up, take out the wooden bill, and check what kind of things are lined up, maps, pictorial books, aristocratic yearbook, commercial law, surrounding information It was just a practical one, such as a tile-like one. Wow, this is a map! It's a pretty rough map, but I've never seen it before. With a map that I don't even know where I am, I head to the sofa where Benno is sitting. Ordinarily sitting on the couch, it was a beautiful upholstery, but there was only a board under the cloth, and there was no elasticity as expected, and I hit my hips. It was Because I'm so excited, I sit so fast, Abu Seen by Benno with amazed eyes. A strange place was deceived because of a luxurious sofa. I didn't sit down like this on a bench with a wood grain. Spreading the map on a chaise longue with a cloth on the board, making excuses only in my heart. Benno, what is this city? Here. Ehrenfest. The lord's house name is the name of the town. First time I knew the name of the city. I also learned the name of the lord. If you don't need to go outside, you don't need to know the name of the city, and the lord was all that was needed. Looking at the map, the village and forest spread to the south of Ehrenfest. west has a big river, it is relatively close to the town of the neighboring territory, and the lords are close friends. Since there is an aristocratic town with lords in the north, there was a large gap. There is a highway in the east, and there are many travelers. Well, it's probably not going to come out of this map even if you go out for purchases. After getting the names of some nearby cities, return the map and read the bookcase from one side. At the bottom, there was also a book for apprentices to learn letters and numbers. Take a quick look to study with Lutz. In addition to the letters I remember, there are many words related to business. I want to remember this. Mr. Benno wants a stone and a calculator to study Lutz Oh, let's subtract the money from the money we pay today. Study hard. Please tell me, how much can you read and write with the merchant children's apprenticeship? After the baptismal ceremony, the apprentices work with merchant children. By then, I want to be able to do to some extent what other children can do. It's simple reading, writing, and calculating. Because the name of the reading is the main, it depends on what is handled and the size of the house. You can usually calculate from copper to silver. Bad. I am not sure of the currency. I know that there are big and small copper coins and small silver coins, but I don't know the exchange or the market price. Because it's basically only copper coins used at home. seldom sees any currency other than copper. And at the gate, I have never seen Otto actually spend money just by calculating numbers. I think what you lack most is dealing with customers, because other kids look at their parents' work every day and know their skin. That is It is impossible for us. From a long time ago, I have never been to the service provider and the service provider. Lutz probably doesn't know what the merchants know. What should I do? The voice of the staff echoed from the counter before getting into the maze of thought. Benno-sama, the guild leader wants to see you. that damn old, as expected Benno whispered like a small, low-pitched voice that can only be heard by us. It turns out that Benno is in the fighting posture as a whole, such as glaring eyes, fists firmly held on both sides. Let's go, both of us Yes When Benno headed to the counter, the counter board on the farthest edge fell off, allowing him to pass deeper. There was a staircase in the back, and when I went up the stairs, the door opened automatically. You can see a cozy room that is not very large. A warm carpet was laid in front of the fireplace, which was already burned red, and there was a desk for work on the carpet. Sitting there was a gentle man in his fifties who was a little wide. I was imagining a grandmother because the guild chief is in a position, but it seems that the work is still a little past. Hey, welcome. I want to hear a little talk The guild chief stood up laughing. Now, Benno. I want you to tell me right away. What does it mean to have a child who is not a blood clan, register this child temporarily? Isn't it different from saying that you want to make it? Benno says that he wants to register without waiting for the baptism ceremony, which is the same as Guild said that Lutz holds a product that is worth registering. Said with a smile. Unless you have a clear purpose, you can't allow registration. This Ehrenfest has no precedent, including temporary registration for non-blooded children.Look at me and Lutz with a smile that doesn't read what the guild leader is thinking. Although it looked gentle at first glance with a smile and atmosphere, it is not kind at all. I'm threatening to register if I don't answer the question exactly. Listening to Benno, I was worried about the state of the guild chief saying that I wanted to say. However, Benno stares at the guild head with a black smile that is convinced of victory and grinning. Do you want to know what these children brought in? Well, yes. Depending on the thing, you may want to handle it in another store. You're a little too open. If you're going to make money, you mean you want to intercept it. Isn't the truth really hidden? These children said they wanted to sell them in their homes. They would sell them in their homes. Well, Mine?Ben and Lutz struck me with a threat, saying Don't say anything extra. Benno, who seems to be good at it, smiles and looks down at me. Mine, show me the hair ornaments you will sell to the guild head I understand Apparently, he's still going to keep secret about selling paper. Because I don't know what Benno is doing, I put my hand into the tote bag with my mouth swallowed as much as possible so as not to say anything extra. Take out Turi's hair ornament and present it so that it looks like a guild length. The moment the guild head suddenly changed her complexion.
