I succeeded ~ I have done it ~ ♪”
At the time when the moon showed its shape clearly in the sky.
I had taken some luggage I had at the inn, put it in a box and now brought it to the merchant guild.
Written test, successfully ~ ♪
The exam, for those of me who have taken compulsory education* in Japan, is very easy *.
There is a section where you have to memorize, but I easily memorize it at the time the exam is prepared.
There is a section that gives you problems that can hardly be called mathematics, a section where they ask about management, and a memorizing section where they give you questions about licensing.
But the calculation part is definitely the highest priority, as it takes most exams while the memorizing part is the lowest. This is a test that was really made for me.
If you are a member of a Merchant Union, the items you can handle are numerous and there are only a few things that are restricted. That terrific.
Fortunately, the rote section where I skimmed was on the exam. I can finish it half of the time provided.
They seem to be in a pretty sloppy accounting stage because I can easily get everything done, it's a child-DEATH game *.
I already know the unit of conversion between gold to copper as well.
The examiner trembled as he examined the paper and with wide eyes he said, "You passed". The face he had was priceless.
That this level of examination usually takes several years to study, must be because there is no such thing as a 'school' in this world. If there are, then they should be in a fairly special categorization.
Since it was an outstanding perfect score, they did not deduct the cost of the exam, but allowed me to pay in installments. I planned to pay for everything at once so it didn't affect me at all. I am glad there are other privileges.
They told me that I could do the inventory exam as soon as I wanted and that I would be given the task of getting the item within the allotted time. If I can complete the task, I will pass the exam.
When I heard that I can take it anytime, I told them that “I'll do this for 'some more time' (this part is not clear to me who is from a different world). Seeing the task, I immediately returned to the inn and from the materials I obtained at the border, I randomly packed them into the box I had shared before and brought them with me.
I brought a box the size of an orange container and inside there were a number of medium to small sized materials. This is a wooden box, so it's a little heavier than a cardboard box, but since I have haipa bodeh ~ *, this way is more convenient for me.
“Total there are 4 ingredients, or I can also bring materials whose value is higher than those listed here?”
4 Listed material, honestly, I have never heard of it before.
But there's a tester there. He told me that I had bad luck.
He said that the procurement exam also depended on luck, I had to issue a ballot with a number written on it and depending on that number I had to get the article.
From within that, it seems like I have taken out a super difficult one that requires expensive materials, moreover, I have to bring four of them.
Hahuahua, I already knew I was unlucky!
That's what I thought until…
"If you don't have a connection with adventurers who are at least level 50, this task can't be completed."
The examiner said this.
For a merchant to go out and get it, it is almost impossible. There is a need to have an adventurer who has quite a lot of levels, and of course it will cost a lot to hire him. And that's why he must have thought it was impossible.
However, he said that it was fine to bring something that had a higher value. It's written here too.
Then if the mamono on the border were impossible to fight by level 50, I would be fine. I also brought a lot of material.
For the minimum level to enter the border to be level 95, what kind of hunting ground was that high-class netting game?
This really tells me how careless Toa-san and the others are ~. Being at the base where you barely reached the level, I can understand why they practically gambled with their lives when they went hunting.
Anyhow.
My lucky! I got my graduation grade the same day!
“I have arrived ~ ved !!” (Macoto)
I said 'suddenly' in Japanese that no one should have been able to understand by accident.
The lights are still on and I can feel the presence of people as well. Very close!
[Hello, this is Raidou.].
“Ara? Raidou-san, I thought you were in the middle of the procurement exam? ”
[Yes, I've already finished it so please confirm?]
“... Ha ?!”
This was the second time that Onee-san shouted with a loud voice that echoed throughout the guild.
[As I said, I get 4 materials whose value is higher than the one assigned. So, please confirm?]
“Wa, yes! Please wait a minute! Examiner! ~ Testers! ”
It seems like Onee-san is noisily stopping Oji-san* who is walking on the other side of the corridor.
Oh, that guy is. That said "perfect value", as if he was squeezing his words.
Otto, it looks like they're both back. Will they confirm it at the reception?
I thought we were going to the exam room again.
“Raidou-kun? You, it hasn't been long since you were given the assignment. Please do not do irresponsible.. ”.
[Yes, please confirm]
I took off the cover. There are about 8 materials that I pack in it. I packed some small items as well, just in case.
“N? Missnn ?! ”
[How is that? I think those are things that are more valuable than those of duty]
“You, where did you get this from?!”
[A few days ago, I received it from the adventurers I had accompanied from the border.]
"All this?! Who exactly is that guy ?! ”
[The party that has a shadow thief named Toa-san. I heard that they had sold their materials a few days ago?]
The examiner stared intently at Onee-san.
Onee-san nimbly took out a thick account book-looking file and started reading it, she immediately found the place she was looking for.
"definitely. Earlier today, they went to the trading area, also known as the center of the material trade, and sold a large amount of important materials. One part of the material is brought to the complex and the other to the area of perpetual funds. "
So that's it!
Oji-san holds his head. It seems like he is secretly embarrassed by the fact that I will be able to easily complete this task.
[Yes.]
“... You said your name is Raidou-kun, right?”
[Yes.]
[Yay, I'm so happy!]
“... You do not look happy to me. You are the first person to take the merchant exam and pass the same day. Really am. What an outrageous thing "
There's no way I'm unhappy. But, since I wrote that it was easier than I thought, he must have thought I was unhappy.
[Thank you very much.]
“I will have it for the guild to give you your guild card tomorrow afternoon. Matters relating to the function of the card and the rules of the game, will be notified at the time you receive it. Are you okay with tomorrow? ”
[No problem.]
“Understanding. Then ... Son, I'm asking you to take care of the preparations. "
After asking Onee-san to handle it, tester Oji-san walked unsteadily, she even looks like she is sleeping while walking.
Maybe I did something important? Well, I want to get it quickly so I don't mind.
I was also interested in the adventurous card function, but I wanted to get this one as quickly as possible.
I don't want to just say 'uh huh' to study the exam. Because it will relive the bitter memories of my previous world.
"I'm surprised! You are on the high class side! To think you're going to pass "
I got ranked in the eyes of Onee-san! Umu, that's how one gets promoted on the ladder of humanity.
[Well, I was just lucky. I can graduate with the knowledge I already have]
“Fufufu, you are quite humble. This is a registration form. What do you want to do with the deposit money and first year membership fees? ”
'Are you going to pay a small sum now?', Is what he should try to say.
[I'll pay for everything now. The deposit money is 10 gold and the union fee is 1 gold, right?]
This money is something that must be earned after getting a higher achievement or so it seems. That is, it is impossible for traders in the early stages to pay for it.
Yes, they can pay in installments, so they are not that cruel. They might want to ask about the current state of affairs when they came to the guild to pay and report their progress.
“Secalgus, huh? Yes of course. Seriously, who are you, Raidou-san? ”
What he said.
It must be because I stood out, she seemed to be attracted to me. This is the obvious thing.
[Even if you ask me, "what am I?" I don't think I'm too amazing. Besides the fact that I speak like this.].
While he pointed to my mask, I continued to fill out the registration form.
“After all there are not many people who wear masks ~... May I ask you?”
His curiosity is so clear. But for a beauty who is interested in me, it honestly makes me happy. This kind of emotion, as expected, was still the same as in my previous world.
[It was something that happened when I was a kid, so I don't really remember it. It seems I'm the target of a curse. So the mask negates the curse, but now I can't take it off, that's what this mask means.]
"AA curses, you say?"
[Yes, thanks to that, I can't speak a common language and was forced to speak with this type of writing. It is a blessing that I can use magic.]
“I-That's very unfortunate. Hope you can remove your mask immediately. "
As usual, once I talk about curses, the person backs off. There are dangerous things like cursed diseases. They must be afraid of a curse they don't know about.
[Thank you. I can speak in other languages that are not common languages, I can speak with demi-humans and people who can use magic.]
The ancient language used in magic and spirits used in pacts, fairies and dwarves, was probably because they were treated as mamono in the past but, I can speak their language as well.
It's really just a hyuman I can't talk to! That goddamn goddess, one day I will change your fucked-up system!
“Heh ~. This may be something that can be of great help to you while running a business. You might be able to handle items that don't circulate much in human territory. "
[Yes, I look forward to the future of this business. Okay, it's all just forms I have to fill out, right?]
"Ah yes! Uh ~ try to see, okay, no problem. It was beautifully written in the same language! Uhm, and. ”.
[Then it's late at night. I'll come here again tomorrow.]
I forcibly cut off the girl who was still about to continue her question, and left the guild.
I was able to pass the guild exam on the same day. I hope this can be the first step to living as a trader.
Grumbling ~ *. As expected, I was hungry.
I was eating some snacks on the way, but I haven't eaten a decent meal.
Without caring that it was dinner, I entered a place that did not have many customers, and in one of the back seats, I ordered fruit juice. I was so hungry that I wanted to have at least something in my stomach for a while.
N ~. The call from Toa-san and the others has not yet come.
I had told them my address, so if they were going to visit me, I would have to take a call. Looks like it's still okay for now.
Well, I had some business with them so, not sure if I would get a call from people who wanted Mio and Tomoe's address though.
Fumu, it's yellow. Orange fruit flavor type.
It's an unexpected banana flavor. I have made sure that I don't really like banana juice. Uh?
"Did you hear? Forest as soon as you enter the border ... "
“Yes, it looks like people are not coming back from there. Request has been made! ”
“No, not that one. Which after that. I heard that the people who went to investigate have not returned. The demand level is soaring! "
Wa's?
I focused my ears on the gossip I heard. The forest that came right after you entered the border? Is that the direction where I was attacked by the Rubee-eyes and the Size Ants?
Sounds dangerous. People disappeared one after another around the city.
Well, since they say that his rank is rising means I have nothing to do with it. I'm a D-level. If I wasn't a C rank at least, I wouldn't even be allowed in. For adventurers to meet the rank and level requirements was definitely troublesome. That's why there are idiots who try to enter without permission.
Thinking about that, putting aside the rankings, the adventurers who had not thought of the levels and decided to enter the desert thought that they would spend a good time there; as humans, they had loose screws. They are just big idiots who don't know the value of life. Rank and level existed so that adventurers did not die meaninglessly.
From the gossip I heard, they said something about 'request' so, there must be something there that the person who entered legally cannot handle. To the extent that you would recommend people debuting in the desert not to get close to it. Who cares about who enters illegally?
There might be powerful mammonos that appeared in the deepest forest and made nests there.
There are indeed many mamono that have a distinctive atmosphere around it. For forever alone I who never found anything in that place, it was actually a happy event. There were some men who were not close because of Mio and Tomoe so, it felt like being in a safari park and it was fun. However, if Toa-san and the others met them, they might struggle hard, or they might even be annihilated. They were existences that surpassed the guild stamp in Tsige. No wonder people are dying one after the other.
Now, what should I do from now on? I am someone who does not like to waste food, so I spend on juices that I do not like. If I get used to it, it might be good unexpectedly.
In the present condition there is nothing more I can do about Rembrandt-san's curse disease. The person who did it is no longer here, I want to find the real culprit and make him regret the fact that he was born, he said, but it is the tail that even large and professional corporate connection networks cannot find. It is somewhat impossible for me who cannot understand the land well. If I had the hero attribute, I would find an event about this, but it would not go as desired. It's just that, if that person were to constantly observe Rembrandt's movements, the culprit must have known of my whereabouts and there was a chance that he would have tried to do something to me. I was 'a little' on guard and invited the enemy to do something, so there should be no problem.
By the time I got involved, I might not be Tomoe, but maybe I should use the matchless Shogun-sama mode? Kukukuku.
There is no doubt that I will add stress but ... I should look at Asora's situation for a moment.
I did this early in the morning, but I left Mio there all day so I was kind of worried she had some sort of big mistake.
