After completing the registration of the adventurer guild of my two followers, I went elsewhere to inquire about the preparations I had to make to open the shop.
I was thinking of asking a lot of good things in place I would make my 'name card.
But it seems that the former will succeed, but the latter will not seem to succeed.
About the land, it seems like they can immediately prepare it and can provide information on the available places. Well, I can't make rash decisions because problems may arise.
But for business cards, the paper is so valuable that the cost will be very high if made in large quantities.
Actually, the price of one was quite high, so I rejected the idea. For me who can freely enter Asora, a place that has a money-making tree, it's a cost I don't want to do. <。>
I don't know how they make people remember their names in this world, so I indirectly ask them but, it seems like they just frankly show their faces. It seemed like they could show the guild cards to each other and exchange their company information.
I was taught that there was also a method of giving gifts at the end of each year. I certainly feel that giving gifts is an effective way.
That is, to be able to live as a trader must have a good memory. If you can't remember your face and name it's out.
I want to make business cards and make them remember my face like that. I had a hard time thinking about it so I wanted to use it. In addition, a merchant union card can only be used if both parties are traders. Is there anything I can use for my customers? I have to think about it.
About the logo, it seems to be able to be used as soon as you are ready. If you can design and make it.
But, more importantly!
The most urgent matter was the shop premises! This is the main problem!
In cases where you aim to set up shop in Tsige.
Our Kuzunoha company will be a member of the Aion kingdom, or so they say. This is the first time I have heard the name of this country. So this place is called Aion. And that's monarchy.
And, apart from opening a shop within the kingdom, when you are going to open it in a foreign country there seems to be a lot of restrictions applied.
It seems that opening a shop and acting as a spy is something very normal in this world, more precisely, when you go abroad to open a shop, it is very important to know that, it's normal for the country itself to ask you 'want to be a spy. ? '.
That I was still fine even with the stupidity of Tomoe and Mio, because there was a fixed rank in the merchant union that allowed the company to open stores abroad.
That is, as my name as a merchant became more and more famous and my ranking grew higher, when I wanted to open a shop in another country, I would be summoned to the castle. Well, that's how it is.
As an exception, if you are a Caravan merchant, you will be called at a fairly early stage. Because as they move, they can take in a lot of information.
B-How stupid.
Why would a merchant who wanted to do business in another country have to work as a spy at the same time? I totally refuse. A spy dealer? Don't joke with me.
Just because I am in Aion kingdom doesn't mean I have patriotic feelings. Do not underestimate the modern.
However, it seems that if I refuse it will affect my future business within the kingdom so it is not recommended, or so they tell me. Onee-san's reception, with a sad face, told me not to do it. For the sake of doing business more freely, please fight firmly for your right of guild-san merchant.
Don'tdon't. A joke. Around!
Doesn't that mean if they call me, I won't be able to resist ?!
This practice was especially stronger in the Aion kingdom which put more emphasis on information gathering. Right, this looks like a troubled country with a high spy vector. Everyone, this is an important matter so I said it twice.
In short, I found the land I was looking for, to have it, I immediately made a request to create a store, and it was flowing in a bad direction.
The area that I eventually came to eventually became one of the most passionate in spying activity. What kind of test is this?
For now, I have a method to run my business regardless of the propriety of my store.
Borrowing an area inside the store of another company, I will be able to operate without any care. It's like selling takoyaki in a super market.
From what I heard it was impossible, but there seemed to be a way to do business without petitioning the guild.
With this method I will be able to do legal business, or so they say.
So when I asked, in which country can I open my first store without any connection and malicious intent was added to it ...
“Raidou-sama really has a different way of thinking. Ask in which country you should be doing business. Taking into account the essence of the merchant guild, this was the ideal way of thinking. Not under any country, or rather, those cities were all affiliated with their country. If you're going to open a store there, it's probably "
Come to think of it, there is no international community in the world, so obviously opening a global business is reckless.
It has branches in every country and has businesses that provide products at low prices that can treat their illnesses or injuries. That's the goal I have.
Your mum.
Get along well with each other, a medieval fantasy world!
The receptionist-san who dealt with my wild thoughts, told me that she did not know the possibility.
Well, thinking about the capital to open and inventory the article, in the end, he made the conclusion that it would be difficult.
Even so, a place where there was an opportunity for it, in other words, a place where I could push, just knowing about such a place was a good harvest.
"Fumu, Academy City yes" (Makoto)
“Oya, Waka, what happened?” (Tomos)
“N” (Makoto)
I returned to the inn and while thinking about the details of the conversation, I muttered the place that was told to me. The one who reacted was Tomoe.
“Well, I'm thinking about where we're going to open our store. Because we have to be affiliated with Aion if we open here "(Makoto)
"Yes. Although this place has a lot of autonomy, it is still the territory of the kingdom of Aion ”(Tomoe)
He said that this land was the kingdom of Aion as if it was obvious. Tomoe-san, please tell me that geographical information faster.
"As expected. Then in front we will do business under the roof of another company, and while we do we wait for the opportunity and go to this Academy City ”(Makoto)
“So you didn't know it was Tomoe. It is most likely a new city. I was told that it was one of the few neutral cities. Therefore, if we open a business there, there is a possibility we can do business in other countries ”(Makoto)
The Aion Kingdom was one of the four major pillars of strength.
This means that this kingdom has long been a nation that holds secret information. How desperate. Tsige is in a remote area, I don't feel such a place.
… I don't want to think that they are at a level where they gather every information spontaneously. The walls have ears and the sliding doors have eyes. Having such thoughts is not fun.
“Wa wa ~, when I'm not watching, the world has changed quite a lot. I heard that the region of the world has changed a lot "(Tomoe)
It was most likely due to the advancement of the demon race.
Right, world map. In this world, maps were definitely quite expensive, but still worth buying. I have seen bare hills, abandoned lands and volcanoes. Ever since I came to this world, I have never encountered pristine seas, mountains, and beautiful natural landscapes.
In a world filled with fantasy elements, these points should be important. I want to experience it! The arid ground was light brown and Asora gave me more of a nostalgic feeling. I even found a radish not long ago.
"Then Waka, about tomorrow ..." (Tomos)
“Ah, tomorrow go to the merchant union and check the prospects. It doesn't matter for you to choose the one that you think is appropriate. Only, I will go back to what we last said, because there is talk about affiliation, we will not build a store ”(Makoto)
“Is it okay to buy land only?” (Tomos)
“I want to have a store in Tsige in the future, so. About the matter now I will go to the Rembrandt Company tomorrow and decide depending on the result, but ... "(Macoto)
“Do you have any worries?” (Tomos)
Tomoe is completely in business mode and follows the conversation without messing around. Seeing that Tomoe can do a gear shift, makes me wonder if she is really fit for the trade.
In terms of looks, Mio seemed to be more suited to it.
"Yes, the type of industry we will list. It's tough" (Makoto)
"If that's the case, didn't you decide not too long ago?" (Tomos)
"Well that's it. In times of distress, the ideal type appears but. "(Makoto).
“Only with medicine, it's a bit difficult to move so, it's okay?” (Tomos)
“You know.. 'Do Anything Store'. I feel malevolent with this name "(Makoto)
The shop does everything. As the name suggests, whatever it is, we will do it. But the advantage you will receive from the guild compared to the specialized ones will be lower. For example drugs, commodities, raw materials, in exchange for 10 percent more expensive, we can sell all that.
For weapon equipment, armor, and bodyguards, it falls into the same category.
It seems that this is the type of store that companies with a long history take when they improve their product range. The proof, only large shops have this type. It has a completely different image than the 'shops do just about anything' of the modern era.
When I suddenly told receptionist Onee-san that I was going to apply as a 'Do Anything Store', she warned me that it was not profitable. He definitely remembered our conversation about trade routes, the first thing he recommended to me was to become a caravan merchant.
The reason was simple, handling an area that large from the start was almost impossible. Because you will lose to people who only specialize in one thing.
Even I think it's true.
"No one can oppose our specialization, and I feel that thinking too deeply is not good" (Tomoe)
“A 'Do Anything Store' Yes. I think it's fine. And, Mio? ” (Makoto)
“As Waka said, I have two Arkes heads to the flower location. Ambrosia right? They'll be back in a few days "(Mio)
"I saw. Then, Tomoe would inspect the ground and while she was there she would make a random request. That's right, finish them off together with Toa-san and the others, for about a week "(Makoto)
“Request? With those people? " (Tomoe)
Tomoe did 'why?' faces. Well, that's a normal reaction. If he wanted to raise his own rank, he didn't need Toa-san and the others to accompany him, he must have thought that it was better for him to perform various rank quests or special rankings to increase his rank.
“I want you to learn the basic way an adventurer should act. And while you are there, it would be nice to learn some methods to collect raw materials "(Makoto)
“Raw material, so. If I remember correctly, Mio said that she could already do that. Then Waka, is it okay to buy some books on raw materials while I do it? " (Tomoe)
"of course. Learning is important. You're the one who brought our money. It's okay to buy whatever you think you need. I still have to arrange the itinerary before we go to Academy Town and make a request to Rembrandt Company. There are many things I have to do "(Makoto)
"I understand. In that case, it doesn't matter if I direct my report to Asora right? ” (Tomoe)
“Alright, let's see. I made a barrier so that no one could enter that inn room. I will rest in Asora at night. It's okay to make your report at that point. Oh, I almost forgot something. I don't mind if it's expensive, I want a world map. And also a map with details about the Aion kingdom. If there is not enough money, tell me "(Makoto)
I think the details will be a little dangerous. In the Sengoku Era, strategic maps were extremely important, it could even be considered as classified information. Maybe we should investigate it secretly and make it ourselves. At least that way we won't be suspected by this country. After all, it would be bad to go around looking for a detailed map.
“No, wait a minute. I don't need a detailed map. It's okay with a normally circulated map, a map that wouldn't be strange even if the merchant had one "(Makoto)
“Waka really worried. I've understood. Then, I will move in a way that does not arouse suspicion "(Tomoe)
Tomoe, a very useful girl. Someone who can detect the intricacies of my words is very important. That even though he understood it and he did something completely different was impossible.
“I'm asking you. Please do well "(Makoto)
"Then, at night I will report at that place" (Tomoe)
Well, Ema-san also asked me to go to her place at least twice a day if I could ~.
They told me that if I could stay with them for a whole day each week, everyone would be happy.
I haven't used a bow for a while so (leave the actual battle).
“Now, let's go to sleep. It will be the last night in this room, good night ~ "(Makoto)
"As your wish. Good night "(Tomoe)
While looking forward to the busy days of tomorrow, I fell asleep.
