I talked to Marie about the Adventurers' Guild. She seems impatient, but doesn't seem to have noticed me yet. Next, let's talk about money.
The total cost of the materials is 1,856,200,000 elts. The breakdown is: Fire Dragon, 1.4 billion elts. Assault dragons, 40 million elts. Wyvern,30 million elts. Firebird,160 million elts in total. Three kinds of medicinal herbs, 220 million ELT in all. Magma fish, 220,000,000 ults. Pepper, 4 million elts. I can deposit the money on your guild card, but you asked me to keep it as private as possible, so I have some cash on hand.
..................That's a lot of money to ask again. I feel like I don't care about the Adventurers Guild anymore. I'm going to buy everything from necessities to luxuries, develop the land of the dead, and when I miss people, I'll go out to play in the city. Wouldn't that be nice?
But is fourteen billion a lot for a dragon? It seems like it could be a lot more than that. ...... but it's also amazing that medicinal herbs cost over 200 million, and I'm not sure what the market price is. Well, I don't think Marie would come up with a price that would be immediately recognizable as a rip-off.
It's a lot of money for me, but I don't think it's enough for an adventurer to make a fortune. I need to think about what I want to do in the future. ......I want to have a good time, but I know it's not the time.
"Cash, please."
If I withdraw money from the Adventurer's Guild, I'll be exposed and I just found out that I can deposit money to my guild card. I told Eltina that I knew most of what I needed to know, but I guess there are a lot of things I don't know.
It might be a good idea to go to another town at least once and listen to what they have to say. I have a feeling we're going to get in trouble again for being necromancers.
"Okay. Please wait a moment. Sonia."
Marie said a word, and Sonia bowed and walked out of the room. She went to get the money, right? I don't understand the relationship between Marie and Sonia.
"Uh-huh. Yuta-san. I'm very grateful to you for supplying us with so many valuable materials. It's nice to be strong."
No. This is not happening. What about crossing your legs and putting your index finger to your lips? Is this the standard for seduction in this world? Please, I want to believe that this is Marie's original method. If that's the case, Marie is ten times more attractive in her own lustful way.
Thank you.
No. My voice came out flat.
"Oh, um, Yuta-san. About the seasonings you taught me last time, I have made some good ones by mixing powders. However, it lacks decisiveness, and even within our research team, there are different tastes. Could you please check?"
Marie, perhaps noticing my blankness, hurriedly changed the subject.
"Well, I've come a long way, so if I set the standard, there's a possibility that there will be a discrepancy between my taste and what you like. I think it would be a good idea to hold a tasting event to get the opinions of many people, as it would be a good way to advertise your products. Then, you could ask food stalls to use several kinds of products and sell the best-selling ones."
Of course you've heard the opinions of professional chefs, and I'm sorry if my half-baked advice doesn't sell.
"I see, a food stall at the tasting. It might be a good idea to check the customers' opinions directly. However, in that case, it would be better to do a little more research before you start to make a decision.
Marie puts her hand on her chin in serious contemplation. It would be better to take advantage as much as possible, since it would be easy to be copied. But Marie-san is so dignified and beautiful when she talks about business. If she keeps it up, I'm sure she'll roll me over like a roller coaster.
"You tried it, didn't you, Marie? How did it feel?"
"Me? I prefer the ones with a lot of herbs. I was surprised that it was quite tasty just by sprinkling it on and grilling it. I remember that garlic powder is not a favorite of mine. I'm not a big fan of it, but some of my employees are crazy about it, so it's difficult.
It is true that garlic powder is not a favorite of mine. I love it a lot, and I used to get anxious when I went to work because I used it too much. When I make instant ramen, I tend to put in too much. I'm the type of person who gets anxious when I run out of garlic powder and chili pepper.
"It's all up to each person's taste, so I think you can cut out the products that didn't sell, and as long as you don't put out a really bad product, I think you can sell some of it. It makes cooking easier."
I'm sorry to give you this answer after I received 500,000 elts. But if it's quick to make and somewhat tasty, it will sell well, right?
"Yes, that's right. I'm feeling good about it, so I'll try it out at my friend's stall when I have the right products."
Ha-ha-ha. I'm not helping. It's a shame, I could have bought some klezies salts to show you how it's done.
I guess she realized how unreliable I was, so she stopped asking me about the products, and we had a light chat, and then Sonia came back.
......? The other clerks came in with me. Several large wooden boxes are brought in together.
"They will be used to make platinum coins and fire dragons. Please take a look."
After the clerks had gone, two leather bags were placed in front of me with a heavy thud. Over one thousand eight hundred white gold coins. ...... I can't really feel it, but I'm a millionaire.
I forgot all about the dragon material other than meat,......I can't show it now, but I have to bring it back home. Oh, I also found some mithril, which I'll bring back next time I sell herbs.
More than 1.8 billion dollars and materials for dragons......I had plenty of things I wanted to buy when I was in Japan, but I can't imagine what it would be like in this world. Would you buy a house in a labyrinth city? ...... is not a comfortable city and I don't need a house.
Let's think of a fun way to spend the money. Let's spend it on something that will make the land of the dead comfortable.
"Sure. Then I'd better be going."
I put all the money and materials in the magic bag and leave the store, passing through Marie's hot glare at the magic bag. I wonder if Marie-san is a merchant who shows her desires so openly.
**
"Hey, Sonia. What do you mean? Yuta gave me the coldest stare. What does it mean that I invited him to have dinner with me? You said that Yuta-san was attracted to me, didn't you?"
"That's funny. I thought you went to the trouble of wholesaling labyrinthine materials in this store and came here to show off your skills to Marie. ...... What in the world did you have to show off?"
"How do you mean, like this?"
".................. hmmm, a bit of a mockery? Maybe Yuta-san doesn't like to be explicit. But you can't give up. You saw the fire dragon. He lost his head with a single blow, don't let him get away!"
"I know, but wasn't Yuta kind of wary of us?"
"I wouldn't say I was wary, but sometimes you looked at Marie ruefully. What's wrong with that? I think Marie is a beautiful woman in my opinion. ...... Could it be that she's a man-cub? Or because I had a slum kid as an apprentice. ......"
"Masculinities, children......, come to think of it, you were unresponsive to my special customer service techniques. But then I wouldn't have been able to do it. You want me to have a beautiful waitress entertain you? And no kids."
"Hmm. Maybe I should try it once. How about we have two clerks, one pretty and one muscular, show her around and see how she does? That way you can narrow down your preferences to a certain degree."
"Yes. But at the very least, it has to be someone who is loyal to the Pollius Chamber of Commerce. If Yuta-san takes a liking to him and he starts his own business, we won't be able to count on him. Do you have any idea who would be okay?"
"...... Eric?"
"Sonia. I can't sacrifice my brother. He's the heir to the Polurius Trading Company."
"But if we can entangle Mr. Yuta, we can get a steady supply of materials for the labyrinth that we can't get anywhere else. As it is now, if Yuta changes his mind, he won't come to this store anymore, so we have to think of some way."
"...... Let's have my brother cry. No, it's not safe to assume that he's a man-crazy man out of the blue. We should be subtle and find out what he likes. Sonia, approach him in a way that makes him feel comfortable."
"Hmm. I don't think so. I don't know, I just feel like he was more cautious than Marie."
"Really? Did you do something?"
"I don't think I did, but something doesn't feel right. I think it's dangerous to be too hasty, so let's start by carefully exploring your preferences.
**
"Yes, yes. Yuta is a man-crazy, loli shorty?"
My stomach hurts. I'm so sick to my stomach. Why is it that just because I look at Marie with a disappointed eye, I'm a man-crazy, loli shorty? Maybe you're too sure of yourself. Also, Marie and Sonia are very good friends.
(Sylphy. I like mature women.)
"Don't make me look like I'm about to spit blood. I know. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I know you're happy when Deanne hugs you, so I didn't misunderstand you."
...... Does that mean Deanne saved my life? That makes me sick to my stomach, so let's not even think about it.
(I hope you know what I mean.)
However, gathering information is important, but don't eavesdrop on people's conversations unnecessarily. You will learn things you don't need to know.
From now on, I'll ask Sylphy to probe conversations only when it seems to be of some importance. Otherwise, I'm going to distrust people.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
