The next morning after returning from the labyrinth to the pavilion, Dine and the others, who had been drinking up their liquor, are sent back, and Bell and the others are summoned for breakfast.
"Berne, I've killed the ghost!" "Coo-coo-coo!" "Rain has killed the ghost!
Holding their bread high in the air, Belle and Raine report their successes. I see that Belle and Rain have defeated the wraiths and ghosts. I don't think animals can beat wraiths and ghosts, so it was right to have them escort us.
"Fluffy Fluffy made a safe house...coo...tamamo made plants grow around you..."
...... Apparently Tulu and Tamamo were improving Mohammed Kingdom. I couldn't get close to the animals because they would be afraid of me. It would be nice if you could help me with the missing pieces.
"Well, Belle, Rain, Tulu, Tamamo, thank you."
In the middle of breakfast, I pet all the belles who have gathered around to give me compliments. I should probably scold them for making noise in the middle of the meal in front of Sarah and the others. I should warn them.
"Don't make too much noise when you're eating. When you move, you should do so after you finish eating.
Yes... cue... yes... coo...
The belles understand and return to their original location to resume their breakfast. They are good listeners, so I guess they will be fine next time. We finish breakfast slowly, listening to Bell and Sarah.
While we were relaxing a little after breakfast, Sebas-san came to tell us that Marie-san was waiting to see us. I remember he told me last night that he might come in the morning. She really came.
It seems strange to say that he came, since it's another house of Marie's, but ...... it's okay. Sebas leads me to the room where Marie is waiting for me.
Yuta-san, I'm sorry for coming so early in the morning. I'm sure you must be tired after just returning from the labyrinth, but I have some material things to take care of ......."
He bowed his head. He was probably just trying to be considerate. If Marie's self-control hadn't kicked in, she would have flown in last night at midnight. She still feels full of energy and full of vitality.
"No, I'm fine. We're going to wholesale materials, aren't we?
Sarah and Belle stay at home, and I take Sylphy and Marie to the warehouse by carriage.
"Yuta-san, did you get any materials other than fire dragons?"
Let's see, wholesaling ...... demon materials alone would be worth a lot of money, so let's leave the treasures out of it. The fire dragon alone is over a billion dollars. It would be a problem to have too much cash.
"We're going to sell assault dragons, fire dragons, sea serpents, sea serpent variants, lots of swordfish, and great swordfish," he said. I also picked up some divine power plants. We can also get magic grass and all-purpose grass wholesale.
"Sea Serpent subspecies? Great Swordfish? Divine power grass? ...... hehehe."
Oh, you look like a slacker, your soul having flown away with the profits. That's a problem for a young lady of your age.
"Yuta, she's amazing. I've seen many people clouded by greed, but I've never seen one so pure.
Sylphy looks at Marie in an amused way. Is that a compliment? Somehow I don't think this is a good idea.
"Marie, Marie, please come back!"
I grabbed Marie by both shoulders and shook her.
"Oh, Yuta-san? Yes, yes, I'm sorry."
Marie, her eyes lit up and she came to her senses, wipes her mouth and apologizes. Perhaps she was on the verge of drooling?
"It's OK, but I have to ask you something, so please don't skip a beat."
Yes, I'm fine now. What is it you want to ask me?
"Can you eat sea serpents? Or rather, is it delicious?"
That's what's important to me right now. To be honest, there's a lot of great-looking stuff here, so I'm good.
I've never had sea serpent, and I've heard that it has the feel of a resilient chicken. I've heard it tastes better than regular snake meat, but it seems to have a strong flavor.
Snake meat......If you ask me, sea serpent is a snake. ......I'll eat snake meat if it tastes good, but I'm not sure I'll eat it if it's a strong snake meat. But I'll take some of it just in case.
"I see...well, please share a little of the sea serpent and its subspecies. I'll take half of the Swordfish that contains Orihalcon, and the other half of the tongue and meat of the Assault Dragon and Fire Dragon, please.
At first I was going to take all the meat, but with such a huge body, half would have been enough. If the meat didn't make it to the market, there would be a lot of questions.
"That's a lot of meat, are you sure you can handle it?"
"Yes, I have enough to consume, don't worry.
We'll just sleep in our magic bags and eat ourselves a little at a time.
"Well, I'm glad to hear that."
Marie, you say you're glad, but your face says you wanted more meat.
We arrive at the warehouse, and in the spacious warehouse, I put out the meat where Marie tells me to put it. Marie's strange voice echoes every time I take one out, but I'll let that go.
"So many swordfish ......"
At first, three hundred swordfish were taken out. But I can only get about a sesame seed of orichalcone from one swordfish. Three hundred sesame seeds...... is hard to imagine, but that's a lot to grab with one hand. I wonder how many Swordfish it would take to make a piece of orichalcone armor?
"That's the last of the demons, and the rest are the divine power grasses, but do you want to serve the magical and universal grasses as well?"
"By all means! Please do."
"Yes, sir."
We will put out the same amount of kamikaze grass as magic grass and almighty grass. There is a large amount of Jinryokusa because it used to grow in clusters at the bottom of the sea.
"This is Jinryo grass. How divine!"
Marie is gazing at a four-leaf clover, entranced. A five-leaf clover, which is said to bring good luck, is more suitable for Marie than a four-leaf clover.
"That's all of them. Is the amount of demons too much for you?
I brought in a lot of marsh material. The staff of the Polurius Chamber of Commerce was complaining about it, and now they're going to hate me for bringing in so much more material.
"No problem. We've replenished our staff and we can handle the situation with a little time to spare.
Marie nodded confidently. She had taken the proper steps.
"Oh, by the way, Yuta. If you got the Jinryokusa, it means you went to the sea, didn't you? I'm sorry to say that I just thought of this, but do you have any seafood available?"
"Well, it's not impossible to get one, but why?"
Marie's face lit up when I answered. It was a little strange that she didn't seem to be muddled by the profit she had made, unlike usual.
"The ocean is far from the labyrinth city, so it's hard to get seafood. It doesn't fetch as much as materials for demons, but there are many people who would be happy to receive seafood wholesale. I know it will take time to escape from the labyrinth, but can't you manage it, Mr. Yuta? Of course, it's not an imposition, but it would be nice if you feel like it while you're at it."
...... come to think of it, I don't remember eating fish in the labyrinth city. In the land of the dead, I didn't care because I basically filled my stomach with seafood, but there were fish in the sea of the labyrinth, too. Flying will be exposed when the wings of the labyrinth and Muscle Star return, so there is no problem with the fish rotting.
I'm just curious about what Marie said about what I would do. She must not know that she can fly, so she must have noticed that the magic bag has a time-related function. I don't think she would have noticed the time stop, but she would have at least guessed the function of slowing down the flow of time from the materials I wholesale.
I don't mind if they are not stupid enough to make an enemy of me by spreading the word about it. But getting the fish is easy enough with Rain and Dine, but the rest of the process is a hassle. I don't want to gut a bunch of fish. The taste will probably be bad, but if we can freeze the fish quickly and transport them, it won't be a problem, will it?
"Um, Yuta-san, it's really just an idea, so if you can't make it, it's no problem at all."
Marie spoke to me apologetically. I guess I made her feel uncomfortable because I was thinking about it. But fish......... would it improve the reputation of a genie magician if I brought back a lot of fish?
But if it's hard-to-find seafood, the bigwigs will buy it all up, and the public's reputation will suffer. The rich people can get whatever they want with materials from the 50th layer onward. I'll think of something so that it can be distributed to the general public at a reasonable price.
"I've come up with a method for now, so I'll try it next time.
"Well, thank you very much."
Marie, you look happy, do you like seafood?
"Well, I'd better get back. What about you, Marie?
"What? Yes, I will continue to lead the demolition. If Mr. Yuta returns, please feel free to use the carriage out front. And I will pay for these later, as I did last time, is that all right?"
Yes, that's fine. Yes, that's fine. I'll leave you to it.
We still have plenty of funds to spare, so there's no need to rush. I mean, this time we're going to pay more than last time, even though there's not much meat. I don't think we'll be able to use it all.
*****
"I'm thinking of showing up at Mr. Torque's inn or Mel's. Which do you guys want to go first?"
I returned to the pavilion after stocking the warehouse with materials. It was still morning, and the Adventurers' Guild was escorting us. If the Adventurers' Guild has taken care of all the troublesome recruiters, we should be able to walk around as usual as long as we take the minimum precautions.
"Which way?"
Belle tilts her head cockily. Was it hard to explain?
"Hey, can I buy a new meal at Mr. Toruku's inn? You can meet Mel and Meral at Mel's. Well, you end up going to both, so it's up to you which one you want to go to first."
When Sylphy asked me to come and take a look at the place, I heard that it was thriving with the new menu, but you should be able to order if you can afford it. Well, if it's busy, you'll have to wait until the next morning. I'll let you know the possibility of waiting, just in case.
"Okay. Belle, I want to eat something delicious!" "Coo-coo!" "Shinmeyu!" "Coo-coo!"
Apparently, the Bells want a nice meal.
"Which one do you want, Sarah and the others?"
"Master, I want to see the new dishes." "I don't mind either way." "Kikka wants to play with Meru."
Well, the innkeepers have the upper hand. Kikka wants to play with Mel.
"Well, let's go to the inn first, take care of some business, and then go to Mel's. "Then let's go to the inn first, do our business, and then go to Mel's. I think we can have more time to play with Mel that way. Is that OK with you?
"Yes! We'll play a lot."
Sounds good. I'm concerned about the fact that Kikka and Mel are already confirmed to play together, but I'll ask Mel to do her best. Let's go to the inn first. We tell Sebas that we are going out and leave with Belle, Sarah and the others.
I'm going to take Belle, Sarah, and the others with me.
It's still morning, so there doesn't seem to be a line of customers in front of the inn. It's hard to talk to people when it's busy, so thank goodness. Martha called out to us as soon as we entered the inn.
"Welcome, I was worried about you. I heard about the Adventurers' Guild! You must have been great. Why didn't you come stay at this inn? Where are you staying now? Oh, by the way, that menu you told me about is very popular. It was so popular with the guys that some of them came to my restaurant who had never been here before! Ha-ha-ha-ha!"
As soon as we met, we were bombarded with machine gun talk. He was talking as usual. There was no time to get into the conversation.
"I'm sorry for worrying you. It was a bit noisy around here, so I hid. I've calmed down and I'll be here for you the next time you come to the labyrinth city.
"Well, my husband will be happy if you come and stay the night. So you're not staying here today, is there something you want?
"Yes, I was wondering what happened to the recipe I gave you the other day, and I have a few requests for Martha and Torque.
"Are you going to teach me another recipe? I appreciate it, but my husband will be up all night again."
Mr. Torque, I'm trying to catch up on my sleep. Hmmm....can you bring magma fish and dragon meat to a place where you are so busy you are losing sleep? And while I'm at it, I was thinking of asking Sara to teach me how to cook, but I think Mr. Torque is going to die of exhaustion.
"It's not a new recipe, but I have a request that might send Mr. Torque over the edge a bit, and one that requires a lot of work. If Mr. Torque is busy, should I not do it?"
"Well, if he's out of control, you can kick his ass, so just talk to him. Well, I'm sure he's busy, so he might not be able to help you."
Mr. Torque, you're going to get your ass kicked. But if Mr. Martha is taking care of himself, that's a relief. If she refuses, we'll just have to find another way, or at least talk to her about it.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
The next morning after returning from the labyrinth to the pavilion, Dine and the others, who had been drinking up their liquor, are sent back, and Bell and the others are summoned for breakfast.
"Berne, I've killed the ghost!" "Coo-coo-coo!" "Rain has killed the ghost!

But I'll take some of it just in case."I see...well, please share a little of the sea serpent and its subspecies. I'll take half of the Swordfish that contains Orihalcon, and the other half of the tongue and meat of the Assault Dragon and Fire Dragon, please.At first I was going to take all the meat, but with such a huge body, half would have been enough. If the meat didn't make it to the market, there would be a lot of questions."That's a lot of meat, are you sure you can handle it?""Yes, I have enough to consume, don't worry.We'll just sleep in our magic bags and eat ourselves a little at a time."Well, I'm glad to hear that."Marie, you say you're glad, but your face says you wanted more meat.We arrive at the warehouse, and in the spacious warehouse, I put out the meat where Marie tells me to put it. Marie's strange voice echoes every time I take one out, but I'll let that go."So many swordfish ......"At first, three hundred swordfish were taken out. But I can only get about a sesame seed of orichalcone from one swordfish. Three hundred sesame seeds...... is hard to imagine, but that's a lot to grab with one hand. I wonder how many Swordfish it would take to make a piece of orichalcone armor?"That's the last of the demons, and the rest are the divine power grasses, but do you want to serve the magical and universal grasses as well?""By all means!Please do.""Yes, sir."We will put out the same amount of kamikaze grass as magic grass and almighty grass. There is a large amount of Jinryokusa because it used to grow in clusters at the bottom of the sea."This is Jinryo grass. How divine!"Marie is gazing at a four-leaf clover, entranced. A five-leaf clover, which is said to bring good luck, is more suitable for Marie than a four-leaf clover."That's all of them. Is the amount of demons too much for you?I brought in a lot of marsh material. The staff of the Polurius Chamber of Commerce was complaining about it, and now they're going to hate me for bringing in so much more material."No problem. We've replenished our staff and we can handle the situation with a little time to spare.Marie nodded confidently. She had taken the proper steps."Oh, by the way, Yuta. If you got the Jinryokusa, it means you went to the sea, didn't you?I'm sorry to say that I just thought of this, but do you have any seafood available?""Well, it's not impossible to get one, but why?"Marie's face lit up when I answered. It was a little strange that she didn't seem to be muddled by the profit she had made, unlike usual."The ocean is far from the labyrinth city, so it's hard to get seafood. It doesn't fetch as much as materials for demons, but there are many people who would be happy to receive seafood wholesale. I know it will take time to escape from the labyrinth, but can't you manage it, Mr. Yuta?Of course, it's not an imposition, but it would be nice if you feel like it while you're at it."...... come to think of it, I don't remember eating fish in the labyrinth city. In the land of the dead, I didn't care because I basically filled my stomach with seafood, but there were fish in the sea of the labyrinth, too. Flying will be exposed when the wings of the labyrinth and Muscle Star return, so there is no problem with the fish rotting.I'm just curious about what Marie said about what I would do. She must not know that she can fly, so she must have noticed that the magic bag has a time-related function. I don't think she would have noticed the time stop, but she would have at least guessed the function of slowing down the flow of time from the materials I wholesale.I don't mind if they are not stupid enough to make an enemy of me by spreading the word about it. But getting the fish is easy enough with Rain and Dine, but the rest of the process is a hassle. I don't want to gut a bunch of fish. The taste will probably be bad, but if we can freeze the fish quickly and transport them, it won't be a problem, will it?"Um, Yuta-san, it's really just an idea, so if you can't make it, it's no problem at all."Marie spoke to me apologetically. I guess I made her feel uncomfortable because I was thinking about it. But fish......... would it improve the reputation of a genie magician if I brought back a lot of fish?But if it's hard-to-find seafood, the bigwigs will buy it all up, and the public's reputation will suffer. The rich people can get whatever they want with materials from the 50th layer onward. I'll think of something so that it can be distributed to the general public at a reasonable price."I've come up with a method for now, so I'll try it next time."Well, thank you very much."Marie, you look happy, do you like seafood?"Well, I'd better get back. What about you, Marie?"What?Yes, I will continue to lead the demolition. If Mr. Yuta returns, please feel free to use the carriage out front. And I will pay for these later, as I did last time, is that all right?"Yes, that's fine. Yes, that's fine. I'll leave you to it.We still have plenty of funds to spare, so there's no need to rush. I mean, this time we're going to pay more than last time, even though there's not much meat. I don't think we'll be able to use it all.*****"I'm thinking of showing up at Mr. Torque's inn or Mel's. Which do you guys want to go first?"I returned to the pavilion after stocking the warehouse with materials. It was still morning, and the Adventurers' Guild was escorting us. If the Adventurers' Guild has taken care of all the troublesome recruiters, we should be able to walk around as usual as long as we take the minimum precautions."Which way?"Belle tilts her head cockily. Was it hard to explain?"Hey, can I buy a new meal at Mr. Toruku's inn?You can meet Mel and Meral at Mel's. Well, you end up going to both, so it's up to you which one you want to go to first."When Sylphy asked me to come and take a look at the place, I heard that it was thriving with the new menu, but you should be able to order if you can afford it. Well, if it's busy, you'll have to wait until the next morning. I'll let you know the possibility of waiting, just in case."Okay. Belle, I want to eat something delicious!" "Coo-coo!" "Shinmeyu!" "Coo-coo!"Apparently, the Bells want a nice meal."Which one do you want, Sarah and the others?""Master, I want to see the new dishes." "I don't mind either way." "Kikka wants to play with Meru."Well, the innkeepers have the upper hand. Kikka wants to play with Mel."Well, let's go to the inn first, take care of some business, and then go to Mel's. "Then let's go to the inn first, do our business, and then go to Mel's. I think we can have more time to play with Mel that way. Is that OK with you?"Yes!We'll play a lot."Sounds good. I'm concerned about the fact that Kikka and Mel are already confirmed to play together, but I'll ask Mel to do her best. Let's go to the inn first. We tell Sebas that we are going out and leave with Belle, Sarah and the others.I'm going to take Belle, Sarah, and the others with me.It's still morning, so there doesn't seem to be a line of customers in front of the inn. It's hard to talk to people when it's busy, so thank goodness. Martha called out to us as soon as we entered the inn."Welcome, I was worried about you. I heard about the Adventurers' Guild!You must have been great. Why didn't you come stay at this inn?Where are you staying now?Oh, by the way, that menu you told me about is very popular. It was so popular with the guys that some of them came to my restaurant who had never been here before!Ha-ha-ha-ha!"As soon as we met, we were bombarded with machine gun talk. He was talking as usual. There was no time to get into the conversation."I'm sorry for worrying you. It was a bit noisy around here, so I hid. I've calmed down and I'll be here for you the next time you come to the labyrinth city."Well, my husband will be happy if you come and stay the night. So you're not staying here today, is there something you want?"Yes, I was wondering what happened to the recipe I gave you the other day, and I have a few requests for Martha and Torque."Are you going to teach me another recipe?I appreciate it, but my husband will be up all night again."Mr. Torque, I'm trying to catch up on my sleep. Hmmm....can you bring magma fish and dragon meat to a place where you are so busy you are losing sleep?And while I'm at it, I was thinking of asking Sara to teach me how to cook, but I think Mr. Torque is going to die of exhaustion."It's not a new recipe, but I have a request that might send Mr. Torque over the edge a bit, and one that requires a lot of work. If Mr. Torque is busy, should I not do it?""Well, if he's out of control, you can kick his ass, so just talk to him. Well, I'm sure he's busy, so he might not be able to help you."Mr. Torque, you're going to get your ass kicked. But if Mr. Martha is taking care of himself, that's a relief. If she refuses, we'll just have to find another way, or at least talk to her about it.
