★ Today's no-no.

'Ryota-sama!　I'm too busy working these days!　Wasn't it just a cheap idea to save bullets or something?

　Window flower is currently preaching.
　Me and Midea are sitting on the floor.

　We used the flaming pot too much without thinking, and the forest was about to burn down. We didn't get much orc back-oil from the burning, etc.

　Oak back oil is a strategic material needed for locally manufactured explosives and biodiesel. And it fetches good prices locally as fuel and industrial oil as well.

　The fire was apparently prevented by using localized torrential rains with a window flower freakout. Was the rain at that time forced by the window flowers...?



　He sold out our friends!
　I'm going to be the next one on the bike!
　And you said it!

　In general, if you're under this level of pressure, if you're in a pressure interview, you're going to get dropped.　Oh, I get it. I'm sitting on my hands and knees and I'm about to hit my limit. You know, for a woman of her stature, Midea has big feet.

'Miss Midia?　The flaming pot was your idea, wasn't it?　Orcs burn well,

　Midea stood up once, but quickly returned to her seat.

　You can't even read the difference in strength between you and your opponent.... Negotiations between corporations are much tougher. The situation. Position. Competence. Was there a chance of victory this time?

　At times like this, even if it's unreasonable and persistent. We just have to apologize and wait for the storm to pass!　A poor excuse will only prolong the process.

'Even though it's generally cheaper, olive oil is expensive for cooking oil too. It won't do you any good if you spend most of your last reward. Jars are expensive too. There are no hundred shops in this world!

"Yes, I'm sorry, sir. I'll never do anything frivolous again.

　Eventually. Half of the olive oil had been set aside by Window Flowers. Instead, the tallow was processed and padded with tallow, and the damage was only half done. He thought he'd thrown it away after dismantling the hunt's prey, but the mog had collected it.

　The food waste is food for the slime. The tallow also smelled bad but was useful, he said, so he didn't throw away more than the amount of food he was feeding on, but stored it.

　The window flowers also broke off a little. We were told to use the long rolls sparingly because they are dangerous, and we were allowed to use the 9mm para while saving money.


　Sata went down and window flowers found a place near the river where they could get clay, so they told us to go get it. On foot.....

　We also made our own jars. We also tried to make a jar mold, but it was difficult and failed.

　The drying of the jars. I tried to change the name of the main computer from "Window flower" to "Bureau-sama" to play a little prank on it, but I found that I no longer had administrator privileges on my ID.


★ I've gotten some tasty work done for now.

So we are going to the new Kingdom of Ares?

　I think I've grown a lot as an exterminator, both in terms of skill and money earned.

　I completely forgot that exterminators are state certified. When you get attached to a big city, you have to submit 10% of your sales to the chapter, along with a copy of your contract.

　It doesn't help that the royalty is 10% of the compensation.
　The alps also need it to maintain a support structure.
　They're still going to raise it but....

　I need credibility as an exterminator, and I want a guarantee in case of emergency. Arps also cost money to maintain the organization. Managing a large number of mercenaries also costs an administrative fee. In addition, there's an additional fee for sending money, which is actually 10-20%.

　But I don't like the part about ten percent of the compensation. I'd like to see them make a profit if possible, even if it means increasing the percentage. Otherwise, if we continue to lose money, we'll go bankrupt.

　Of course, we know that the consumption tax system is superior. We can collect the consumption tax from companies that are good at saving taxes and from wealthy people who have no apparent income to spend on their savings. Even those with high pensions who escaped the bubble will naturally pay higher taxes if they live a graceful life.

　But isn't it still too early for this world in an ancient setting?

Ryota-sama, we will be at the checkpoint before nightfall. There are shops in town. So let's decide on a salary for you, Midea-sama. There is a weekly wage around here.

　Why would I do that?　I mean, he's a full-time employee and the company is going to pay him, right?　However, Japanese paper money is not available in this world.

　Even if you can use them, there is no ATM to withdraw them. It's ridiculous to put useless Japanese yen into the precious supply line. And the money that I paid in advance will be returned when I return to Japan.

　Go ahead, I was worried that you were black.

But I'm embarrassed... "Do you know the wage rates around here, Windowflower?

　I don't have a clue about the wage rates in this world, so it's best to throw difficult things like this to the window flowers.

''I don't know for sure either... but Midea-sama is provided with a place to sleep, food, quaint items, weapons and armor. She sleeps in a car, and after subtracting the cost of rent, fuel, food, administration, and miscellaneous expenses, wouldn't it be fine to give her a tenth of her compensation?

　I understand the interpretation.
　But what is it?
　I can't explain it.

　I've been told I don't need window flowers and mogs because my magic is a substitute for my paycheck. There are only two people in the exterminator business, Midia and I. It's heartbreaking to be treated as an employee. I'm more of a partner, right?

　Then I had a discussion with the window flower and the compensation was reduced to one-sixth.

　They said it was very lenient, but I think it's good now. At Windowflower's suggestion, we only made a promise to review it when the number of employees increased, for the time being.
