　This new religion, which was founded around the Barka Church in New Barka Street, seems to have been accepted more than I had expected.

"......The most common problem is money, right?　But you know what? I'd run out of money if I had to give money to each and every one of them. Ah, what a pain in the ass. Do you turn away people who say joking things?

　I know that, but then how can we deal with it?

　Most of them seem to come from the Orient, a city-state, but there are also people from some villages who have come to us with their problems.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If we try to deal with them as much as possible, the Barka mercenaries will not be able to do enough.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even now, the mercenary company has only about 500 members in total.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is obvious that they are going bankrupt.

"There are two ways to deal with this problem. Do you hear me, Mr. Alphonse?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, come on, ay. I think you have an idea. Let's hear it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, first of all. First of all, you have to ask for money for your request.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Money?　You mean you're asking for money from people who come to you for help."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes. This story was originally initiated by Mr. Alphonse. And as far as I have been able to ascertain, there is no mention in the scriptures of the Church helping those in need. Therefore, I think that a slight change in the conditions is not a problem. Let us assume that a reasonable amount of money will be charged for asking for help from the Barka Church. This will at least reduce the number of requests.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I see.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's right.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I guess it's easier to say something when it's free.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But it would be a different story if it costs money.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If you don't live in this town, you have to walk all the way here to make a request.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If they have to pay for the problem, they may not come to consult with us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"But what about the price and so on?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Set an amount appropriate to your request. We will set an appropriate amount of money based on statistics and taking into account the market environment.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And it seems that Ai will decide the fee.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That would be really helpful.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm sure Ai won't charge so crazy a fee.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"So?　Didn't you say earlier that you had two ideas?　What's your other idea, asking for money for a commission?"

"Let's create jobs in our churches."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... create jobs?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes. Why don't you take a cue from the adventurers' guild that Master Ars created and create jobs?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wonder what this means, so I ask Ai to elaborate.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is a story about a land that Brother Ars once found on an airship that ventured further west from the Kingdom of the Sky.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was a land that had never been explored by mankind, a place of jungles and other natural wonders.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After a fierce battle with a sky dragon, he arrived there and founded the Adventurers' Guild.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Adventurers' Guild gives jobs to those who are called adventurers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The adventurers are asked to gather plants and animals that can be sold at a high price, or materials for demons that can be obtained from the jungle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Each adventurer chooses the job that suits him or her best, and receives a reward for a successful job.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Basically, the Adventurers' Guild operates as such an organization.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, I see. Is that what you mean?　They get people to pay them for their help and take their requests. So, you're saying that you're going to have someone else who has free time to do all the other stuff that the Barka mercenaries have to do as an organization, right?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You could say it's something like that. It could be called an intermediary business, or a mediation business. This could create jobs for people who say they don't have jobs.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Ai's second idea.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was that Barka Church would receive money and accept the request.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And, why don't we let the people who came here saying that they don't have a job do the request?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Of course, it would be necessary to send people according to the request.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We cannot entrust a matter that requires military force to solve to some unknown person.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But if it works out well, the Church of Barca may be able to make a system where it can receive money just by having someone else do what is requested of it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wonder if such a thing is possible.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... may not be impossible.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It would be difficult in a normal situation, but with Ai, it might be possible.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As I looked at Ai's interesting idea and the request form that was piling up, I began to seriously consider whether or not it would be possible to realize it.
