So, using the name Raidou, I once again enrolled in the guild.
The level I look forward to is, as expected, still 1. Is there really a reason for that?
If it's because I'm not from this world, then are those two heroes at level 1 as well?
Well, they are heroes so, if I slowly gather information about them, I should be able to ascertain their level.
Famous people have absolutely no privacy, I sympathize with you, hero-sama.
That is why I have to do my best as a trader. No, no, this is not cynicism.
Therefore, in order to improve the connection I have as a trader, I have to make Rembrandt Company remember my face.
I had to explain to Toa-san and the others that Tomoe was late so I asked Mio to bring her back and that was why the registration would be postponed.
By the way, it looks like they have made this place their base and will be operating in this city for a while.
Moreover, to my surprise, the four of them decided to form PT *.
Being a guinea pig for human trials may have created a similar feeling among themselves.
In the carriage I felt they were unaware of each other, but I did not know the real situation about this.
In this suburb there was no request that these 4 people could not take, so they would gather some requests and accept them, or something like that. Wun, I don't understand the standard of strength.
Requests can be collected and received yes. How much can someone collect?
However, with this I understand that it is impossible for them to accept the request of the S class.
Because they told me they had reached the maximum amount they could receive.
… I can see their lack of planning and how they end up in debt, these guys.
“I'll be back at night”, that's what I told them and they left in high spirits.
A number of their equipment has changed. Did they shop not long ago? The so-called adventurers acted quite quickly, I had to learn that part of them. Maybe I think too much about this.
[Uhm, I want to accept the request]
“Ara, Raidou-sama. Have you found a request you might be able to make? ”
It seems that there are many beginners who decide to sign up here, so the support they provide to beginners is very appropriate.
If I tell them that I have the real thing, there should be no problem with acceptance, that's what I think but this makes me nervous.
[Yes, this one]
Saying that, I gave him an S rank request about Rubee's eye eyes.
For a second, a frown appeared in the middle of Nee-san's eyebrows. Oh ~ it has intensity.
"Raidou-sama, this is an S rank request so at the moment you cannot accept it"
Please bring D or E's request, that's what he told me.
[No, actually.].
“Eh?”
I casually took out most of the red from my pocket and placed it on the table.
[Rubee-eye Eyes. It's just that I already have it. Even with this I can't accept it? I don't think this will damage the guild's reliability]
Rank and such, they should be things created to protect their reliability. So if I explain to them that it is a sure thing, they should be able to accept it.
That's what I think.
In spite of.
Can it pass?
“?! Is that legal ?! ”
[Of course. I am the one who has been together with the Toa-san group that you saw not too long ago. It was the individual they defeated on the way here]
Naturally, I did not tell them that I was the one who defeated him and that they gave it to me.
“So, if it is like that, please wait a minute”
Onee-san left from the back door. That must be 'only personnel allowed'. Did someone important come here?
Anyway, I was surprised.
Separated from the request board I saw the other day, there was another board installed there.
It was a board that specialized on desert-related requests. Across the board, there are level and rank restrictions that are clearly posted there. How should I say it? Is the supply insufficient? Perhaps the talk of taking transportation as a suggested livelihood of Toa-san is not a lie.
“Raidou-san, right? Can you please show me those eyes? "
N? Onee-san's back? But, this voice was a male voice. Could it be, a trap woman ?!
As I checked, I noticed that beside Onee-san was an old man. It pisses me off but, he is a handsome middle-aged man. No, I have to be grateful that the 'last weapon' has not yet appeared.
That this is a dangerous place that will be bad for my face was found to have disappeared from my worries so, I will be fine taking off my mask but ...
Thinking if I took off my mask, that they would look at me with pity eyes, it made me reconsider.
[Yes, please]
The main reason is to check if it is the real deal or not. For them to check it out was actually an amazing situation for me.
If I have the authorization of the adventurer guild, I should not have any complaints.
“This, there is no doubt about it. Real deal. Moreover, there was not a single scratch in it. They were supposed to defeat him by inflicting fatal wounds on the stomach. How commendable ”
The old man sighed. He's sweating cold.
“Then, is it okay for Raidou-sama to accept that request?”
“Yes, there should be no problem with this. Have the S rank change to a special rank and let him take it ”
I'm seeing. If they do that, I should be able to accept it without breaking any rules.
“Understanding, then Raidou-sama. Map that will guide you to where Rembrandt Company is located and documents that confirm your acceptance. When we receive an article for a request and you sign it, submit it here. With this, the request will be completed. Since it is a special rank, Raidou-sama will now be a D rank of ”
“Raidou-san, I heard you received this material from Toa-dono and the others?”
[Yes it's true]
“They sell a lot of material in this city. They must have enough skills but, why is the most valuable item among them in your hands? ”
[Who knows? Why yes. Maybe it was because I was the one who provided the carriage? I don't understand the details]
“Umu..”.
[In that case, I'll go]
Oh, Rembrandt's guild is suddenly close. Just by passing a few roads that have a lot of foot traffic. I have some fears, but with this I should not worry about being attacked halfway.
I went while checking the map.
That day was at its peak.
The unforgiving sunlight still felt hot. 'The other side' should be in the middle of a bitter winter.
Then let's go.
—-
"Please wait here. I'll go bring mister here "
As expected, Rembrandt-san is the representative of the company.
The map location was a large shop and when I brought the discussion to the people there, I was taken to the second floor and received by what looked like a butler.
It was a statue butler that looked as if he was from a work of art. High stature, hair combed back and whiskers. I can't see it as anything other than a butler.
The things lined up in the shop were weapons, armor, and others; crossing the driveway, you could also find daily articles that were being discounted.
It's like a big discount store.
It seems to be a big company so, if they put me in, I would be very happy.
I feel the person who runs this place has a special personality type, because this is a rich friend .
Like, really the stingy or dark type who doesn't care about his methods, or maybe the rich kid who inherits them all?
It would be better if it was a normal person. The chances are very low.
That's right, I have to take out my adventurer guild card as proof of my identity when I do.
After all, this was the only thing I had that could prove my identity.
Also, it's something that was issued today so. *Sweat*
I just have to ask the guild to confirm, if they think it's fake.
“I'm sorry for keeping you waiting, even though I was the one who made the request.”
Two people come in.
One of them is butler-san from before. He went on standby without saying a word.
Someone else is the one who called me. He's probably a Rembrandt guy.
As a merchant, he was a large-bodied man who looked tough, his muscles were quite firm. He had long dark green hair and also had a majestic mustache. I'm used to fantasy-style colored hair.
I even had an unpleasant feeling about being treated in a gentle way.
After standing up in reaction to the opening of the door, I responded to the hand he extended and we shook hands.
I did have the courtesy of my previous world but, doing this kind of thing while sitting down was a bit. If I'm wrong, I have to apologize. I do things that I consider rude.
By the way, as I responded to the handshake, I also thought about her impression of me. Because I would feel bad if I ignored the outstretched hand in front of me.
If the person I admire had someone standing behind him, he would not hesitate to attack, but for me
I can't imitate him.
[It's nice to meet you, my name is Raidou-san]
“I Rembrandt. Raidou-dono yes. Sorry for the roughness but it's a name I've never heard before. When did you get here? ” (Rembrandt)
As expected, the reason why he made me wait was definitely to ask for my social status. He must have been looking for it but since the information about me was so scarce, there was definitely no one to come out.
[Yesterday, I crossed 3 bases from the desert border to reach here]
Simple 'Oh ~' word out of butler and Rembrandt.
“So that's it, I memorized most of the S rank adventurers, since I don't remember you in any of them, I was a bit wary. I'm sorry for that "(Rembrandt)
[Please don't mind that. It's just that, in regards to this request, it has changed from an S rank to a special rank so please admit that]
“Hoh ~ to be special rating yes. No, I don't mind at all. And, Raidou-dono. In terms of fixed dates, how long do you think it will take? ”
Rembrandt-san's eyes became sharp. Although he easily lowered his head, he was the one who made you feel his thrust, his pressure. As someone who runs a company, he must have gone through a lot of hardships.
However, the date remains. Once it is, this kind of request, it is only natural that someone simply says 'I will take this one' and until it is finished it is a 'work' yes.
If the date stays too long then the cost of expenses will be higher, is that so?
Or maybe there were some who took the expenses and ran away, was he looking after such people? Or maybe he was in a hurry? Maybe both too.
[Fixed date is after that. You said earlier that in terms of transition you wouldn't mind, but regarding that, I have one more thing I'd like you to agree to]
"... Let's hear it" (Rembrandt)
By leaving a fixed date for later and taking out a different topic, it seemed like he was starting to suspect me at once. But from the beginning, cheating games were never my style. I have to explain the things I can say about myself.
[I'm an E rank. In addition, I signed up today and this is my first request. I'd like you to understand this]
Saying that, I showed him my guild card.
As I thought, Rembrandt-san looked at me with wide eyes. And then he returned my guild card.
“I'm sorry but, it seems like there's nothing more we need to talk about. But before checking out about Rubee-eye, you should look for easier prey." (Rembrandt)
In a second he treated me like a fraud. There are no surprises. But, Rembrandt's man is .. a fine man.
She was slender and tall, her behavior was gentle and she was not a naive person. He didn't give me the impression of a rich kid who had inherited his parents' land. It shouldn't be a problem to think of him as a person with appropriate abilities.
Having him in my debt will allow me to make connections with him who supports me. After all, he was the right person.
Getting rid of the card, I stopped the person trying to get up with my hand.
"What's that?" (Rembrandt)
The wide eyes. Umu, if he's not at this level, I don't want him to be a supporter nor do I want him as my trading partner. This is really nice. To the extent that I wanted to learn the core of the business from him.
[I have registered as an adventurer but, I was actually thinking of enrolling myself in the merchant guild as well. I was thinking of slowly making a company and living as a trader]
“You are wrong about everything. First of all, if you want to join a Merchant Union, you must study and prepare well for the exam. Also, if you want to become a merchant in this city, you should make sure not to be on my bad side. Finally, it would be better for you not to have a superficial way of thinking by selling the items you get from being an Adventurer as a merchant. Business is not as gentle as you think. " (Rembrandt)
Exam ?!
Is there a test you need to learn for the merchant guild to accept you ?! I didn't hear about this ?!
No way! What should I do with today's schedule and schedule from now on? Should I take it even if I know it won't work?
You just threw me a bomb, Rembrandt-shi. However, now I have to concentrate on that request. Fu ~ to think I will hear the word test in this world. Society does not work easily.
[Please listen to me until the end. As a person who aspires to live as a trader I think having a good relationship with Rembrandt-dono will be beneficial. Doesn't mean I came here to give you a bad time. Also, do you think the adventurer guild would hand over the request to someone who did not have the ability to do so? I made sure that there would be no mistake with the girl who accepted it]
“…”
[The reason I'm telling you about my own rank is because if you learn it at a later time, you might have a complicated feeling about it]
"Studying it now still leaves me with complex feelings" (Rembrandt)
[No. Explaining it to you like this, I think after completing the request, it will make a good relationship]
“Did you tell me that you were going to defeat Rubee-eye and bring her here? Of course, if you fulfill that request, I'll have a good impression of you that will reveal your own social status. Even if you have low combat ability, if you have a connection with someone who has the ability to beat the eyes of Rubee, I'd like to hang out with you when you finish your affiliation with the guild "(Rembrandt)
I'm thrilled. Somehow it resolved itself.
But being unable to correct my tone of voice in the part I wanted to sound strong and the part I wanted sounded low, as expected, was uncomfortable.
Writing comes with its benefits and disadvantages.
“Raidou-sama, then, how are your plans to meet the demands of the master?”
Butler-san looked straight at me with skinny eyes while asking me. This guy, is he an ex-adventurer? His movements have no gaps. And his eyes have power in them. Maybe he's stronger than Toa and the others.
[I'll show you now]
"demonstrating? What do you mean by…?!"
Nonchalantly I left it on the table, a red ball the size of a children's fist.
[There will be no exact date. Because I already have it. Please confirm yourself]
The two hurriedly put on thin gloves and slowly checked his eyes. Eh? Is it bad to touch her with your bare hands? If that's the case, I don't think. Next time I have to wear gloves when handling things. It was because the adventurers who were with me were all using their bare hands on material gathering.
Of course they check for authenticity, but do they also check for quality? There should be no problem, the adventurer guild gave me permission.
"I'm surprised. It's the real deal, let alone the solidity is weak. It means only a few days since it was acquired. " (Rembrandt)
Rembrandt-san seemed to be able to judge the item himself. As expected of the owner of a large company.
[Is there a problem not too long ago?]
"No. The fact that it was recently made it even more valuable. This will make the process easier "(Rembrandt)
Rembrandt carefully gave it to the butler. The butler took out a special glossy cloth to wrap it up and left it on the table.
"… I'm sorry. It was an important article and it was something that even made us nervous while handling it. To answer with sincerity and doubt, I ask you to forgive us for that. " (Rembrandt)
Both bow their heads. And then they slowly raised their heads.
[It's okay, it's a natural reaction. Please don't mind that. Then, can you tell me why you need eyes? It's purely out of curiosity but, from what I heard from a friend, it can be used as an ingredient for potions]
This may not be a natural reaction. No matter how valuable an article is, I think that doubt is too much for someone who has brought proper evidence from the guild. However it is demand that makes huge amounts of money. Perhaps they had never encountered a scam until now, or they had never suffered any damage before. I don't know about it and it's not something I should take for granted.
“For the person who supplies it, of course want to know how to use it. I don't know if this could serve as an apology for my previous rudeness, but, I'll tell you "(Rembrandt)
He sat down again.
“We collect Rubee eyes to make certain herbs for special medical treatment. This may be a method that doesn't fit the cost, but as a specific herb for a particular disease, we need the eyes of the Rubee as the main ingredient no matter what "
That's what butler-san explained to me.
So the herb for medical treatment. Can be given a tool and can even be an ingredient for alchemy, can even be used for the treatment of a disease. In addition, it rarely circulates.
Its use is plentiful and its supply cannot compensate for it, I can understand why they treat it as a valuable article and trade it for a large sum of money.
[This eye will be the ingredient for a certain herb? This is the first time I have heard it]
“... It's one of the almighty panacea that can be used on any normal disease” (Rembrandt)
Rembrandt-san again spoke politely and responded to me with a serious face.
N? It works on normal diseases too?
How does it work? Moreover, it is one of the almighty elixirs, but the cost is not suitable.
[Is there an abnormal disease? I came from a faraway place and my general knowledge was low.].
“Don't worry, if you live a normal life, it should be something you don't have to deal with. The reason I need this is because I have people I want to save. It is being attacked by a unique disease called the damned disease ”(Rembrandt)
[Dangerous disease?]
“Yes, it refers to a disease that infects a person through a ceremony performed by a magic specialist. To cure a cursed infection, you need to use some kind of elixir, or have the shaman himself release it. There were types of cursed diseases that the shaman could not cure himself even after his death, and there were some that could not be cured at all. " (Rembrandt)
How troublesome they are.
Somehow I can understand why elixir is not cheap. Witches definitely had a number of things like materials and catalysts but, the one suffering the most was no joke.
“Even in that curse, the one that Madam had infected was a level 8 cursed disease. We suppress the symptoms for a while with high-priced elixirs but, it is necessary to get Ambrosia elixir no matter what "
Butler-san muttered with a bitter expression.
Madam yes. So, a relative of Rembrandt has been infected with a cursed disease. This may be the work of a business rival.
“We have captured the witch itself and have confirmed that it is level 8. So we made a request at the guild to see. We made that request 3 months ago but we just got it to date, what's more, we've come across a lot of scams. We are completely out of sense ”(Rembrandt)
[And the witch now?]
“We want to make him talk about how to reduce symptoms but, he says that his own curse formula is perfect. And 'until the end' he didn't tell us anything other than the level of the curse ”(Rembrandt)
Until the end yes. It means that he is no longer in this world. It's in serious condition.
[So You use a panacea to suppress the symptoms as you collect the eyes. Why are you a target for witches?]
I thought it would be a reasonable question but Rembrandt-san shook his head horizontally. From the way they said it, level 8 must be quite high. For someone managing a large company there are many opportunities to provoke bad intentions, as expected, is that a grudge?
“... Since his company's reach is wide, there is no way to avoid ill intentions. No matter how well you handle something. Business rivals who want to 'partner' with me total fifty thousand, that's a number we will never be able to show ”(Rembrandt)
“But Danna-sama! For someone who is after Oku-sama and Ojo-sama, there is a limit to one's cowardice! ”
“After seeing the strong protection of my bodyguard, he must have reached the conclusion that he could not do anything to me. So he had no other choice but to target my wife and daughter, my levity creating this situation "(Rembrandt)
In business too, when the tasks you have to do get bigger, you will enter the world of politics, or something that comes close to that.
More precisely, his wife and children were targeted. I can't imagine the pain of someone who had to see his family suffer for 3 months. Moreover, even though his opponent was there, he did not have the confidence to control it.
This guy named Rembrandt, his outer expression, at least, looks calm and I think he is an impressive person who can think things through.
A heavy atmosphere with silence began to rule the room.
This is not a topic that can be discussed. Just because someone out there wants Rembrandt to suffer.
There is no such request 'if you want them cured ..', it is a sudden deadly disease. So mean.
“Today, my wife and 2 daughters started saying that they wanted to die. I was completely in despair, but with this we could somehow step forward. ” (Rembrandt)
Rembrandt raised his head and looked at me with a smile. That look showed me that he was actually walking through a long, dark path.
Maybe because he looked soulless but, even his Kaiser Moustache looked more lively.
Wishing to die. If my sister and parents are in that situation! Not good, not possible! Stop thinking!
[With one step forward you mean?]
“To make a potion for one person it takes 2 eyes. I have collected enough other materials for 3 people, so with this I can save one ”(Rembrandt)
So he had already collected the other materials huh. The last thing he needed was an extremely rare ingredient, and the damned ones showed no signs of healing.
For sure, this could be said to be one step ahead. At least to prolong the life of the body.
[I'm happy for that. Is the Ambrosia elixir method safe?]
"Yes. There are a number of high-level adventurers in Tsige. If we had already prepared the formula and the ingredients, it would be fine to find an alchemist around level 80. " (Rembrandt)
Oh, even though it was an important herb, surprisingly, it could be made by ordinary people.
[Getting the formula and collecting the ingredients must be very troublesome]
"That's fine. In that case, since we had the formula and ingredients ready for the manufacture of Ambrosia, the conditions were so good that we could even charge the alchemist for it. With how the situation is, we plan to make it as a normal request "
If I take what the butler-san said with his words, it means that the manufacturing method for exilir must have a lot of value on its own. Obviously, if a specialist does it once, they will be able to remember how it was done.
Surely many people want to know the process of making one of the exilir that is considered almighty. The ingredients seem hard to come by but, there is no doubt you can sell them at a high price.
N? If that's the case, I should try talking to the right young man when I get back. Or maybe to Mio or one of the Arkes? No, let's go with the right young man. Mio is an unknown variable and may cause problems. The Arkes tribe still could not disguise themselves as humans.
With the current condition, it is impossible for me to say that I will bring the potion back so please tell me the recipe. I shouldn't force myself, if the right young man can do it, there's no problem.
While I do, I also want to attend. If I just watch it, I can have Tomoe record it later. My memories, in a sense, have lost their privacy. Fufufu.
[By the way, if it doesn't matter to you, can I also look at the elixir creations? I have a bit of knowledge in magic so I shouldn't get in the way. This is a kind of curse so we don't know what will happen until the potion is taken]
"Fumu .. that ..." (Rembrandt)
Perhaps he didn't want to show his weary relatives or his manufacturing methods scattered unnecessarily, Rembrandt seemed to be thinking about it.
But, this already has an answer. Because I still have 2 cards that I have not issued.
[I plan to return tonight but, I have a friend of the level 114 alchemy meister. Wouldn't that save you from trouble if I told him to produce it?]
"OH!"
If it was an alchemy meister then there would practically be no worries!
With this we do not need to go to the guild and wait for them to receive it!
What is leaking from them in a pretty good sense. A decent young man would not face any danger, and he would not refuse a decent job.
[Also.].
Saying that, I took a number of red blobs from my bag and left them on the table. They already had one but, since the acquisition ratio was so low, they had to stop there. Well, I'll finish them off like this.
The reception room was quiet. Both of their eyes became dots, while I had a satisfied smile on my face. How good, I really want to grin. It's hard to hold back.
[Regarding the eyes, I have gotten the right amount. With this request completed, right?]
In a flash.
The two adult men hugged each other tightly and started crying out loud.
With no surprise that employees rushed to the reception room without prior notice, but the people who understood the situation, fell to their feet and started crying and hugging the people closest to them.
It was a sight that really convinced me that Rembrandt employees really liked it.
Waiting for a place to settle down, I received a mark of recognition.
'Tomorrow I will bring the alchemist here', that's what I said and after finishing the meeting arrangements I left the shop. Back then, I received a majestic farewell from Rembrandt-san and the rest of the employees.
Of course it stands out, A LOT.
I was somehow able to turn around and head towards my next destination, the merchant union.
The sky began to turn red.
It's soon night, but my day still goes on.
