I've successfully completed my certification, but the purpose of coming here originally was not to get certified.
　The purpose of my visit here was not to get certified, but to receive requests.

　The time I've earned through magic and spells has been consumed to some extent by the capacity of the item box, but it's still early afternoon.
　It would be best if I could go to Decibatore today and sleep there.

Are there any escort requests today?

There's a request board over there, but since the capacity of the maple is limited, the guild is talking about forming an escort party for the maple with fast and strong people.

　What, you're going to escort me?
　I'm not sure what to make of this.

It's a great way to make sure you're getting the most out of your time and money.

I didn't ...... escort the package, but putting it in the item box is kind of the ultimate escort, so I guess it counts.

Okay, when do we leave, how long will it take and what are the rewards?

"I can't tell you exactly, because we have to gather the members, but we'll probably have five B-rank members with 15 hours or so by tomorrow or the next day, and they'll be able to concentrate on escorting us without carrying any luggage, so I think it'll be faster.

"Is five B ranks profitable ......?

　The escort fee alone is going to be a terrible price.

"Kaede, do you know how much a kilo of dried meat that you can buy here for 300 Tel will cost in Desibatore?

About 500 Tel?

　If you carry one kilo, that's 200 Tel, if you carry 20 kilos, that's 4,000 Tel, that's about 40,000 Yen, that's a reasonable day's wage for an adventurer.

You're wrong. That's about 2,300 Tel.

　I don't know what you're talking about.
　20,000 Tel for a 10 kilo haul is enough to live on for a month in a normal town.
　Don't they need food over there?

We're fighting demons in Desi Battleye, aren't we?　Can't we just eat them?

　If you don't have dried meat, why don't you eat grilled meat?

I'm sure you'll be able to find something that works for you.

　What kind of cave is this where you can't even dry meat?

I'm not sure if I'll be able to carry a thousand pounds in my item box if it's that expensive.　It's going to ruin the economy. ......

It's a good thing that the adventurers in Decibatore don't pay much for transportation. There is a stockpile of food, but if we were to release it, we would have to force the relatively weakest to return to Photoren, which is a last resort.

　Are you suggesting that we go out there and actively disrupt distribution?
　If you're not careful, you could make a fortune, or start a full-fledged Kaede Group. It's a great way to make a fortune.
　...... It's not going to be that much of a fortune, probably.

And by the way, how much of the 2,000 tell difference will be my share?

I'm thinking of subtracting 200,000 Tel per adventurer other than Kaede from the total, for a total of 1,000,000 Tel, and then the guild will get 10% of the remaining amount as an intermediary fee, in exchange for which the guild will procure all the goods to be carried.

　In other words, the 500 kilos would be the escort fee, and the rest would be my share.

Are you going to carry all that dried meat?

No, dried meat is less than a tenth of what I've given you as an example, buckwheat flour and wheat flour are the main ones.

　Buckwheat flour ...... is ......
　I think I ate something that looked like buckwheat noodles on the way here. I haven't seen noodles or soy sauce.
　I'm not going to hold my breath.
　...... Well, I'll just eat crab and tuna. If the symptoms are magic overload, you might get more MP if you eat meat from Decibatore. Just like in the coal mine.

Yes, sir. How much are we supposed to carry?

We'll take as much as we can carry, no less than ten tons.

　Let's see. ...... At 2 million per ton, that's close to 19 million. Subtracting the guild's share, that's 17.1 million, enough to start a small company.
　I've already started one magic store with a perfect naming sense.

"Okay, by the way, do you usually transport and sell these items privately rather than through the guild?

Yes, the guild doesn't want to make any money off of Decibatore's transportation, and it's best if Decibatore is well supplied.

　Oh, the guild seems to be on the side of justice!
　It's an ally of justice, protecting citizens from the hands of demons without seeking profit!

It's more profitable to increase the supply of magic stones than to make money from them. 10% tax is applied to every stone sold, and 20% of that goes into the guild's pocket.

　I was wrong!　I was just looking for money!　I was more money-hungry than ever!
　Even in Japan, where they impose a consumption tax on ordinary food, they don't double up on consumption taxes!
　I did not rage ....... It never occurred to me that I would have to get rid of the Guild of Evil and Tyranny.
　There's money to be made, I get it, the guild gets it. That's enough. The buyer buys because he judges that it is more beneficial to buy at that price.
　If you can't buy a magic stone, you can use a wisp core.
　If you can't buy a magic stone, you can use a wisp core. ...... Oops, I'm about to be executed, so I'll leave it at that.

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.

　It's for my benefit and that of the guild!

I'm sure you'll be able to make more money if you bring back some demon corpses on your way home, since you can't carry anything but demon stones and particularly expensive parts, so you might as well throw them away.

　Throwing them away is outrageous!
　It's a waste of resources!　Think about the environment!
　I'll just have to carry them around.


　I think I'll pay a little bit of money because I think I might get in trouble if I get ...... for free. It's a win-win situation.
　It's easy to make the biggest profit temporarily, but it's more profitable to make it sustainable in the end.

"I'll give that a try, maybe I'll even consider opening a store.

"If you have that item box, that might be a good idea. Are we done negotiating for now?

Yes, that's fine.

Okay, what's the reward?　Decibatore cards?

What's a Decibatore card?

It's inefficient to carry bulky and heavy coins to Decibatore, so we use a card that records the amount, like a guild card. You can withdraw cash from the guild and charge it back. It's a good idea to keep some money in your account, because you can't use cash in Decibatore, and even if you could, the price would be way below your means.

It's a good idea to have some money in your account.　How much should I put in?

It's free if you're a licensed transporter. ...... You should consider buying things at a price of nearly 2000 Tel per kilo, and lodging is about 1000 Tel per night. As long as the guild doesn't die, I don't see a problem.

　Hmm, that's convenient. But the prices are so high. Ten times as much, if not more.

"Then, I'd like to be paid in full with a Decibate card.

　Well, I can get by with that.
　I can't imagine a situation where I'd be in need of money, and if you're broke, eat crab. It's a luxury food.

All right, you'll get your reward at the guild over there.

All right.

　And so the plan for a large scale transport of six adventurers was put together.
　On second thought, it would have been faster if I had flown over the ocean by myself, but I didn't want to get lost, so I did as the guild said.

　--Two days later, I was in the guild's room with five other adventurers, with over eleven tons of stuff in my item box.
　It's time for introductions and a strategy meeting.

As you can see, I'm a two-handed swordsman with a B rating in annihilation, and I'll be in the vanguard. Nice to meet you.
　This guy looks like a shabby warrior. He carries a large sword on his back.

"Doss, Annihilation B, two-handed swordsman. Right wing, please.
　He's another ugly warrior-looking guy. A large sword on his back.

"Tressl, Annihilation B Two-Handed Swordsman. I'll take care of you.
　...... He's just like him.

I'm Quaton, a shield swordsman in the vanguard.
　I'm a shield swordsman in the vanguard.

My name is Sink, I'm a bowman with a B annihilation rating.
　He's also a disgusting man. I can't take it anymore. . .
　It's rare to find a bowman, but if you're going to be a bowman, make it an elf or something.

I'm Kaede, I'm a magic swordsman with C annihilation power, I'll leave the strategy to you.

　I'll say hello too.
　Unon answers.

"We're all fast this time, and have plenty of annihilation power. Unless they are bombed from the sky, they won't even be an obstacle. We're going to break through in a straight line, running in a huddle, no problem?

"Yes, sir.

　Well, you seem to be good at it, so I'll leave it to you.
　It's a brainy strategy, but if you have enough strength, it's easier to break through head-on without any tricks.
