　I visited Marie's general store to run some errands before I get too busy with the Gulli father-son relationship. After I promised to collect alcohol for her, Marie's outburst started as usual when I brought out the treasure that was sleeping in my magic bag.

"Marie, calm down! Yuta-sama, we will have a hard time handling a gem of this size out of the blue. Do you have anything a little smaller?　It will bring Marie back to reality."

　Well, in the case of the earth, it was expected to be in the class of the great discoveries of the century. However, in a world where labyrinths exist, I had considered the possibility that they might be a little common, but even here they have a bad value. I still have a gem the size of a soccer ball in my magic bag.

　I'm so itchy. Just take it out ......1 a little bit, pretend you made a mistake and store it right away, and you'll be fine. Maybe it will open a new door for Marie. Curiosity got the better of me and I gently reached for the magic bag.

"Sonia?"

"Yuta-sama, you looked so evil, what on earth were you going to take out?"

　Sonia says very rude things. How did she know?　I don't remember getting close enough to Ms. Sonia to read her actions by her facial expressions, do you?

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

"Yuta, you surely had a face with a bad idea in it. I could tell."

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

　Well, thank you, Sylphy. I was so curious that I let my curiosity get the better of me, and all my inner thoughts were showing on my face. I was careless. I can't give out an oversized gemstone by mistake. I'll just give you a small gem.

"Ms. Sonia, I'm not sure, but I think you misunderstood me. I was just trying to get the jewel out as usual. Please take your hands off me."

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

Are you sure?

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

"It's true."

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

　I answer Ms. Sonia's doubts with my best, sharpest face I can muster right now.

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

""Pfft!""

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

　I was so hurt. I never thought that not only Sonia-san but also Sylphy-san would laugh at me. I think I'm not handsome, but I'm a little above average looking, so why would they laugh at me?

"I understand. Sonia trusts Yuta-sama. I'll say it again. Sonia believes in Yuta-sama.

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

　That's a surprisingly unconvincing "believe. But if he betrays me after all these assurances, I have a feeling he'll make a fuss about it as if he's the devil's head.

"Don't worry. I'll get it out."

　She takes out a marble-sized jewel on the table prepared by Ms. Sonia, followed by a baseball-sized jewel including the one in Marie's hand.

"This is ...... wonderful."

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

"Yes, I'm not an expert on gems of this class ......, but considering that it's from the labyrinth, I'm sure it's quite an item. How much do you have?"

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

"If you include those smaller than this size, there are too many to count."

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

"I see. ...... Mr. Yuta, is there any circumstance under which these gems must be redeemed immediately?"

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

　Marie, perhaps having stowed away a baseball-sized gemstone, has nonchalantly come to her senses and proceeded with her story. She still has a good spirit, doesn't she?

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

"No, I'm just giving it to you as a thank you for the trouble you've caused me with alcohol. You have plenty of money to spare."

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

"Thank you for your concern. In that case, I will open a new jewelry and liquor department in the Pollius Trading Company, if you give me some time.

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

　Apparently, the Marie Trading Company has stopped. Would they have gone independent if I'd shown them my soccer-ball sized gems?

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

"I'm always open to you. But I've only shown you the gems alone.　What about jeweled accessories and precious metal treasures?"

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

"May I check ......?　Um, preferably something less irritating, please."

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

　By "less irritating," you mean no large gemstones or metals such as orichalcons or the like, right?

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

"That doesn't sound like you, Marie. I thought you would want the big gems.

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

"Ha-ha-ha, we'd love to, but the Polurius Chamber of Commerce is an amateur in this field. We can't handle gems that would cause such a commotion in such a state. When we get used to the department, if you still want to distribute, please do so.

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

　He refused flatly.

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

"I don't mind if I give it to you first, do you?"

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

"Yes, it is a valuable gem to have, but it costs a lot of money. The rising Porrius Chamber of Commerce chooses to put the money to work for development, rather than laying it down."

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

　In short, they need a lot of money to invest and make a lot of money. There will be a backlash from the jewelry and liquor business associations, so let's hope they don't try to overstretch their reach and end up making a mistake.

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

I understand. Then, I'll distribute it after you set up the division.

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

Yes. Yes. I will quickly establish a jewelry and precious metals division and a liquor division.

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

　Marie declares with a snort. I knew it was coming, but I've just created the perfect amount of work.

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

"Now, let's gather the executives of the Pollius Trading Company for a meeting. Yuta-san, excuse me."

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

Wait a minute. We haven't received the materials yet, and we haven't received the discarded materials yet. Also, tell me about the giant deerskin rugs!

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

　I don't want you to go on an errand when you're not even halfway done.

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

"Oh, right. I'm sorry."

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

　I resume business with Marie, who takes her seat once again. But you're dangerously absorbed in the business, forgetting about the labyrinth materials, which can be quite lucrative.

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

　However, I don't think I can get back at Ms. Sonia in such a hurry. Well, I was able to make her impatient a bit, so I'll be satisfied this time.

"We've got this warehouse and the one next to it full!"

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

　After discussing with Marie and completing the giant diyer and other formalities, we were taken to the warehouse where they were collecting materials and trash to be disposed of.

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

　And there in front of us were two large warehouses and Marie with her arms outstretched and a smug look on her face ......, two large warehouses that could probably hold at least four assault dragons, If it's full, that's a lot.

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

　And some of the collected trash smells like an athletic club room, as if it is soaked with sweat. At any rate, I'm sure I'll cover my nose and mouth with a towel. It would be great if they could work their cleaning magic on all the garbage, but I doubt they would use it on anything they throw away, so it's hard to say.

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

"Well, thank you very much. I'll get to it right away."

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

"Yes. Well, this time we called out to many different places to collect, so I don't know if we'll be able to collect this much next time."

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

　Aside from food scraps, we only collect waste materials that will last for a certain period of time and that don't smell, so the amount of waste materials will be reduced next time, too.

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

　I open the big door of the warehouse and look inside. A large amount of garbage is piled up to the ceiling in a mess. Yes, it's trash, so it doesn't matter if it's broken.

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

　I'm happy and the labyrinth core will be happy too, but it's a bit troublesome to store such a large amount of trash. It would be safer to climb up and store them from the top, since an avalanche might occur if they are stored badly.

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

　Fortunately, there are plenty of footholds due to the large amount of trash piled up on top of each other, and we can climb up without any problem with our improved physical strength. Choose a route that is as gentle as possible and conquer the pile of trash.

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

　There is almost no metal in the trash, as if it is melted down and reused. The most noticeable items are worn-out and tattered leather armor and other protective gear. This garbage is probably due to the fact that this is a labyrinth city and there are many adventurers here. And perhaps because the labyrinth yields a lot of resources, even items that could be of some use are being collected as trash.

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

　In old Japan, they used cloths until they were worn out, so it seems that the labyrinth city is richer than old Japan in terms of supplies. Well, here we are at the top. All we have to do now is to store them all. Be careful not to store large waste materials and garbage, since they may cause an avalanche.

"Yuta-san, thank you for your hard work."

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

"Ha-ha-ha, I'm really tired. I'm glad we didn't have any food scraps, but it would have been hell if we had been greedy and collected food scraps as well.

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

　Even so, the smell of sweat and other things soaked into my armor was damaging, and I felt like I was playing an endless balancing game, which was also tiring on my nerves. I got used to it in the latter half of the game, and next time it will be a little easier to collect them, but I would like to think of an easier way to collect them.

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

"Hmm, if you want to collect garbage, you couldn't use this warehouse, could you?

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

　I see, even though the warehouses are clustered together, they are not allowed to collect food scraps. Huh?　You don't have to go to the trouble of collecting garbage in a warehouse, do you?

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

"Marie, next time you will collect your waste materials and garbage in this. Please stop collecting them when you can't fit any more."

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

"Heh?　Is this a magic bag?　What?　Are you going to collect trash with a magic bag?"

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

Yes, the magic bag has a large capacity, enough for one warehouse. The amount of garbage will be reduced next time, and it will probably be just right.

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

　It's too bad there were no time-related effects, but it's a pretty powerful magic bag. Now, from now on, it will be easy to receive the magic bag and complete the collection. Ease is a wonderful thing.

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

"No, no, no, Mr. Yuta, wait a minute. A magic bag that can hold that much is quite rare. Merchants want them so badly they can't wait to get their hands on them. Please don't go collecting garbage with such a bag!"

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

　Marie is lightly teary-eyed. It was quite a shocking proposal.

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

"But I'm an adventurer who has conquered the labyrinth at the top of my game, so I have plenty of room in my magic bag. Don't you have one at the Polurius Trading Company?"

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

"I own a few, but nothing as effective as this. A high performance magic bag is not something you can just pay for."

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

　In the latter half of the labyrinth, there were quite a few magic bags in the treasure chests, and there were already enough magic bags left over to distribute to all the disciples.

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

"Then, shall I give you one of the magic bags?　I don't have enough space for that warehouse, but I do have an extra magic bag that can hold about three normal houses and slow down the flow of time slightly."

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

"Oh, you don't mind?　No, as I said before, it's valuable.　Especially one that slows down the flow of time is quite rare. We cannot ask you to give them away so easily.

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

　Marie glanced at me while saying that. I had lost my senses because magic bags are usually found in treasure chests, but this is a sight that reminds me how valuable they are.

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

"It's just that the water cools down a little slower. It won't make much difference. Besides, the magic bag will help me too if the business of the Pollius Chamber of Commerce goes well.

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

"Is that so?"

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

"Yes, sir."

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

　Let's quickly round them up, get the materials wholesale, and go home. We also need to buy some furniture for the tea hall on Ukishima. Gulli and his son are keeping me busy.
