　Sarah in the slum. MARCO. Successful scouting for Kikka?　While shopping, I talk to Marie at the general store about materials.

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

"So, Mr. Yuta. What is it that you want to talk about?"

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

But first, may I ask how much you know about me?"

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

"You mean Yuta-san?　He's a spiritualist, he's in trouble with Guilmouth, and he's called a fraud."

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

　That's pretty well known. Well, of course they do, as soon as they get to the Adventurers' Guild. It's better to know and be able to negotiate with them than to have them find out later.

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

"Is it all right for you to listen to me, a so called con man?　Also, I'm in trouble with the Adventurers' Guild, so you might get in trouble."

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

Don't worry, we have the proof why they call us frauds. The power of the Adventurers' Guild in the labyrinth city is so great that we may have to decline your offer, depending on what you have to say."

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

　I'd appreciate it if you'd clarify. Considering the possibility of a deterioration of relations with the Adventurers' Guild, it would be difficult to negotiate unless we can offer benefits that outweigh the risks.

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

"I see. Also, since it is related to the labyrinth, there is a possibility that the type of business we are in may not be compatible with the general store. Do you have any contacts in that area?"

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

"Our company, Pollius Trading Company, is not only a general store. My father handles the materials for the labyrinth, so I am sure we can answer your request.

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

　That's a helpful development. You look so smug, though.

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

"Okay. We can certainly offer you something big in terms of profit, but our relationship with the Adventurers' Guild may be damaged. Do you hear me?"

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

"A sure-fire way to make money? Mr. Yuta. I feel as if I'm listening to a scam artist.

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

　Indeed it is. There's nothing more suspicious than a story of guaranteed profit. Japan and other worlds are no different in that respect.

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

"It's a bit suspicious when you put it that way. Well, if you listen to what I have to say, I'm sure you'll understand. It's a big profit."

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

"Hmm. You are very confident, aren't you? I have very high hopes for you.

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

　Oh. Marie-san smiled suspiciously, and an aura of money started to blow out from behind her. Hallucination?

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

"Yes. "Yes. It's definitely a big profit."

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

　I smile suspiciously, too. For some reason, we both laugh suspiciously, and an atmosphere like that of an evil representative and a merchant covers the reception room.

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

"Well then, please continue with your story.

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

　After a few moments of suspicious laughter, Marie-san seemed satisfied and moved on with her story.

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

I understand. Well, to put it simply, I've broken through the 50th layer, and I want to get the materials out of the way so that the Adventurers' Guild doesn't get involved.

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

"Huh?"

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

　I don't know what ...... said, but I know you're surprised. It feels kind of good.

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

"Well... Can you repeat that?"

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

"We've crossed the 50th layer, and we'd like to get the materials out of the way so that the Adventurers' Guild doesn't get involved."

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

"You're not joking ......, are you?　What happened to the fire dragon?"

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

I beat him.

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

　Sylphie.

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

"At ......, can you also provide us with Fire Dragon materials wholesale?"

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

We've got a whole bunch of them in our magic bag, so we can sell them to you, except for the ones we're going to use.

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

　Even if we wholesale everything, if we need it, we can take Sara or Marco or Kikka with us and the boss will come out. I'm sure Sylphy will take down the boss again, but I don't want to rely on Sylphy too often because I think it's dangerous to make money from him.

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

"I don't believe it at all, but if it's true, I'd really like it if you could do it for me.

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

　Marie's eyes are glinting. I wouldn't be surprised if her motto was "a miser" or something like that. As a merchant, I'm worried about him.

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

I'll show you the actual product later, don't worry. But there is a condition for the wholesale of materials. The Adventurers' Guild will try to find out about me, but please keep it as secret as possible. I know you don't want to cause any friction, so you can tell them after you've waited until the last minute.

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

"Yuta-san. Do you hate the Adventurers' Guild that much?"

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

I'm an adventurer myself, and I don't dislike adventurers. I just don't like the Adventurers' Guild and the adventurers in Labyrinth City.

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

　Huh?　Marie. Are you backing away a little?　But it was the Adventurers' Guild that started the fight, so it can't be helped. I may have been wrong a little bit, but they were the ones who started it, so there's no problem.

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

"...... understands. I will fulfill the conditions. I will prepare a contract for you.

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

　After thinking for a moment, Marie nodded her head. Well, the Adventurers' Guild might not like it a bit, but it's not a bad deal in general.

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

"No, sir. You don't need a contract or anything. As long as you keep to our terms, we'll come here to wholesale the materials, so don't worry about it. And if things with the Adventurers' Guild really go bad, you can cut me off."

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

　I don't want to come all the way to another world and be tied down by paperwork. Besides, Marie is obsessed with money, and she would not be so foolish as to be caught up in the immediate money and then be careless about the profit afterwards.

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

　Well, it's an arrogant act that he can do because he doesn't mind being betrayed.

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

"...... understands. Then, what kind of materials can you supply wholesale this time?

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

"Yes, that's right. Oh, by the way, do you need materials for peppercorns, assault dragons and wyverns?　I think you can get these at the Adventurers' Guild."

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

"By all means, please. We do have a few in circulation, but they don't meet the demand at all, so they would be a nice enough feature."

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

　The material is said to be of high value because it is from the front line of the labyrinth. After seeing the fire dragon, it is not so impressive, but it is an A-rank dragon. No wonder it is valuable.

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

"Okay, I'll sell you peppercorns, assault dragons, and wyverns. Fire dragons will be no problem as long as you send us all the materials. The rest is just these herbs.

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

　Magic grass. We will give you about one-fifth of the number of all-purpose plants we have collected. This is quite a lot, since we collected a lot of it.

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

This is .......

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

　Marie is looking at the medicinal herbs as if she were devouring them. Marie is drooling ....... They must be making a lot of money. She must be making a lot of money. It's a pity she's a pretty girl, too. I wonder if it's a bad luck that she came to the other world, or she encounters unique people more often than not.

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

"I'm sure you'll make a lot of money... Do you like it?"

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

Yes, yes, of course. I wouldn't be a merchant if I couldn't make a profit from this.

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

　He seemed satisfied.

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

"That's good. The demon is big, where do you want to put it?"

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

"Oh, yes. ...... would be very helpful if you could visit us at the warehouse, would you?"

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

Yes, no problem. But I would like the Adventurers' Guild to have a hard time reaching me, so could you please make arrangements so that we can proceed as quietly as possible?

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

"Awe! I'll go ahead and get rid of the people. Also, Yuta-san's breaking through the 50th level will attract interest not only from the Adventurers' Guild but also from the nobility and other merchant associations, what do you think about that?"

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

　That's true. It's a bit complicated because we had a falling out with the Adventurers' Guild, which was going to protect us by showing its ability.

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

"It depends on the other party. If they try to mess with us before we improve our relationship with the Adventurers' Guild, we may ask for protection from a place that will let us do things freely.

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

　After seeing Sylphy's power, I don't think I need to ask for protection, and it doesn't matter who is messing with me, so I don't have to think too hard.

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

In that case, I'm sure the Pollius Chamber of Commerce will be able to help you.

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

"Thank you very much. I may ask you for a favor when the time comes.

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

　In the meantime, I bow to you. It is good to have choices, and it is better to have contacts than to have none. After we have settled on a plan, I leave the reception room and go to pick up Sarah and the others.

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

"Hey, guys. Did you choose what you need?

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

"I've chosen one, are you sure?　A lot of them, you know?"

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

　I approached Sara and the others who were anxiously waiting for me, and Marco asked me worriedly. There was a considerable amount of merchandise on the counter. The quantity seemed to have made them uneasy.

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

"It's no problem. It would be better if you don't have what you need.

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

　I reassure them by making my voice as gentle as possible. ...... They don't sound reassured at all. Well, let them get used to it. I pay and put away the goods.

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

"Yuta-san. This way please."

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

　Marie leads me out of the store.

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

"Master. Where are you going?"

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

　......It's the first time I've been casually called "master. I'm pretty happy about that.

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

"I'm going to get the demons I killed in the labyrinth.

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

"Did your master defeat a demon? ......"

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

"I'm an adventurer."

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

　He urges Marco, who is pondering something, to start walking. Marco and Kikka's eyes are glued to a food stall on the way, so I refuse Marie's offer and buy a skewer of roughbirds for the three of them.

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

　I'm worried about the first meat since I'm skinny, but I'm not a sick person, so I guess I'll be okay. I thought about asking Mr. Toruku to make some kind of soup for my stomach, but I guess I don't need it.

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

"This way, sir."

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

　Marie took me inside, and we found a fairly large space with various tools and materials for demons. It looks like a warehouse for demolition.

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

"Can I put them out here as they are?"　

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

We will dismantle the fire dragon soon, so please put it out here. Please put the rest in the back.

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

　Marie's exclamation and the children's screams echoed as she took out the head and body of the Fire Dragon as instructed by ...... Marie. ......The Fire Dragon was too much of a stimulant for them. This lack of consideration may be the reason why they are not popular.

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

"Sarah. Marco. Kikka. I'm not afraid of you. I'm already dead, I'll be fine."

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

　The three of them are at a loss for words, and I try to calm them down and soothe them. The way they look at me as if they can't believe what they see makes me a little sad. He tells them once again that everything will be all right, and they are not sure what is okay with them, but he makes the best of the situation.

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

　I managed to calm down and turned around to talk to Marie, and there she was, approaching ...... the fire dragon, checking the materials. I guess I'll have to calm her down next time.

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

"This is the Fire Dragon. It surely looks just like what I have seen in the materials. Is it decapitated by a single blow?　The material is clean and new. This is amazing. It's amazing. The money and the fame will be great. ......

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

　I transferred the wholesale materials to a magic bag I found in the labyrinth, and it's still new?　Come to think of it, thanks to Sylphy, they are coming back much faster, so maybe the materials are newer too. It's hard to know what to expect, because it comes out in the places we don't think about. Let's calm Marie down for now. Goofing off is not a woman's thing to do.

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

"Marie-san. There are still some demons... please give me some instructions.

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

"Oh, yes. I'm sorry. Uh, this way, please."

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

　Assault dragons and wyverns are sent out to the locations indicated by Marie.

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

"This one is in good condition. It's great. And Yuta's magic bag is also in excellent condition. If you ever decide to part with them, please do so with me.

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

　My eyes dart back and forth between the assault dragon, the wyvern, and the magic bag. Their eyes are glowing and scary. Let's change the subject. Sara and the others are frozen and not reacting, maybe too much stimulus.

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

"Marie. I have a firebird and a magma fish.　Firebirds have destroyed the nests, and a lot of them. We eat the magma fish ourselves, so we only need two fish. I would be happy to learn how to cook them.

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

　Firebirds galore!　Magma fish!　Marie's tension is soaring even higher. It's going to take some time to settle down.
