Chapter 25
We went back to the town.
This time, I usedTeleportationto the back alley with no people instead of the fountain square. Since we know thatAristocracy Union Knight Leaderis aiming at us, we must keep a low profile.
We have decided to have lunch in the dining room along the main street.
The dish came out, it has a simple flavor. Because Im accustomed to strong flavored meal in Japan, it feels rather bland. Perhaps it lacksZinc?
While eating, we should talk about what are we going to do from now on. From now on? I think, we should stay at an inn today then head back to Japan tomorrow morning. Eh!- I want to do a little more sightseeing~
You understand that theAristocracy Union Knight Leaderis aiming at us, right? Oh, is that so, Im being targeted? Is he aiming at onii-chan or Elena-san? Perhaps, both. I think, hes aim is to kill me and recapture Elena. I see, that adventurer was going to take Elena-san too.
For that reason, I think its better not to stay long in this town. But, with onii-chans currentTeleportation, we can only come to this town, right? Thats the problem, what to dolets think about it later. After this, lets go see theMerchants guildat once and make a little money then after securing an inn, well go the the church.
Merchants guild?Isnt it like, were going to go toAdventurers guildand then well encounter a strange guy, that kind of template? Its a real world not template.
***
We left the dining room and went to theMerchants guild.
Oh, its Seiji-sama, welcome.
A boss-like ossan called out to us while rubbing his hands together.
Uhhhave we met? My apologies for the late introduction. My name isGilde, the vice-guild master. Im pleased to make your acquaintance. Thanks.
The other day, you sold to us a very valuable thing, it was very helpful. So, what kind of business we have today? Again, I was thinking of selling something. I see, I see, I see, then, please come this way.
We arent brought to the counter but to the private room in the back instead.
Ill get to the point Seiji-sama, if you still have the salt you sold to us the other day, I would like to purchase it at 3 times the previous price. How about it?
3 times!?
Hmmmm its just a salt, why did it gain such a price? Its somewhat suspicious.
Certainly the previous transaction is about 10000 Aurum per 100 g. 1 Aurum should be about 100 yen1 million yen!? Now its 3 times therefore it should be about 3 million yen
As expected, I should see whats behind this. Lets not jump right off the bat, I need to get more information before making a deal.
I dont have anymore of those salt, Im sorry. Is that so, its regrettable.
In fact, we came to the merchant guild because there is something I would like to ask. You want to ask? I want to ask aboutElixir. Elixir!?
As soon as I mentionedElixir, Gildes face turned pale. Whats wrong exactly?
Is something wrong? Seiji-sama, it may not be beneficial to you. Well, what do you mean?
You winAll I know is this certain gentleman wants a stock of that salt so much, naturally because thatSaltis one of the ingredients ofElixir.
What did you say!?Saltis one of the ingredients ofElixir!? I tried my best to hide my astonishment.
R-really now. Its the truth.
Did you mean,Aristocracy Union Knight Leaderbought theSaltlast time and used it to make anElixirto heal his wrist?
Did you mean, the client isAristocracy Union Knight Leader?
!!?H-how did you know that muchplease forgive me for asking a confidential matter. Oh, I understand now.
Hmmmm if it goes to that guy, all the more reason I shouldnt sellSaltanymore.
Then, should I show you the goods I have this time? Oh, this is it! We would like to buy this.
I take out a vinyl with white powder inside in a manner of taking it under the table.
It looks likeSaltbut its different? This is calledSugar. Sugar?I had many dealing in this country, I thought I know all the goodsit seems Ive been conceited.
Apparently,Sugardoesnt really exists in this country.
Then, can I have aBlack tea? Im sorry, its a little delicacy of mine. Yes, I understand.
Chirinchirin
The vice-guild master rang the bell and had a person to bring me aBlack tea.
Then, excuse me. You just need to put a necessary amount ofSugarin the black tea. Is this something you put in aBlack tea? Well, there are also other applications. Please, go ahead and taste it.
The vice-guild master tastes theBlack tea.
Tsu!!?Ah, sweet!!However, this sweetness is good, on the contrary it brought out the flavor of the tea. Now, please have this together with it. This is? This is aCookiewithSugar. N!?This is tasty!
How is it? Is thisSugarmade fromHoney? No, it was made from another ingredients.
ApparentlyHoneyseems to exist.
For the time being, Ill buy it at the same price asHoneythis time. I know cooks from various areas so Ill ask them to use it and see, depending on their reaction will decide its price next time. Will that be alright? Yes, please.
Finally, theSugarwas sold for 1000 Aurum per kg. It was cheaper compared to theSaltlast time, so I can have dealings withSugarat ease.
Oh-, there are also goods like this.
I displayedLighter,Ball-point penandWriting paperbefore the vice-guild master.
This is I havent seen anything like this.
This is a magic tool calledLighter, it can be used to ignite something.
Shubo~tsu
I showed the ignited lighter.
!!!?Its so small, is this really an ignition magic tool !!?
And this is a 100 sheet of writing paper. This paper is so thin and beautifully made.
And lastly this is aBall-point pen, this is aPencommonly used for writing letters. ThisPenhas a strange shape. N?The pen point is also strange. Is it okay for me to try writing with it? Yes, please.
Then, Ill have them bring anInk. Oh, please wait. Inkisnt necessary when using this type ofPen.
You saidInkisnt necessary!?What do you mean? Then, Ill try writing with it.
UsingBall-point pen, I wrote a letter on theWriting paper.
You were able to write a letter withoutInk!! Furthermore, the line is so thin!
In the end, theLighterwas sold for 1000 Aurum apiece, Writing paperwas sold for 200 Aurum per book, Ball-point penwas sold for 200 Aurum apiece, I sold 10 of each respectively.
Combined with theSugar, a total of 15000 Aurum was the purchase.
