Chapter 341: Troubleso Hoi Hoi 3
『... then, you don’t use “Kachikomi (Yakuza’s office assaults)”?』(Mile)
『I will not do it!』(Pauline)
Pauline shouts with a blue vein on her forehead with Mile’s simple question.
Apparently, she seems to be quite angry about this.
『If the other side started the fire with their abilities, we had to return with our abilities as well.
And we will return it with dozens or hundreds of tis in legitimate defense...』(Pauline)
『Eh, but that is beyond the fra of legitimate defense ...』(Mile)
『Silent (Urusaidesu yo~)!』(Pauline)
『Ye... Yes, I’m so sorry!』(Mile)
Mile apologizes instantly.
Pauline was in predator mode.
You should never go against Pauline in such a case.
Mile’s trio has learned it a long ti ago.
『If the other side cos with fraud, we should return it with fraud as well.
They say “When you look into the abyss, the abyss is also looking at you”, you know?』(Pauline)
『Ah, so that was the aning ...』(Mile)
『As I said, don’t believe it so easily ...』(Rena)
**********************
『What is it?! A big scale?!』(Shop keeper)
This is a storefront of a certain dium-sized firm.
A young woman party with four people visiting the store,
They said that there was sothing they wanted to price-check.
The clerk is soone who seems to be about 20 years old, he is surprised by the words spoken by the representatives of won (Maevis).
It is a big blunder for a rchant to talk loudly about rchandise transactions at a storefront where there are other custors.
However, it was not surprising that the inexperienced hand was excited by what the woman said.
Big scale.
The usual thing to ask and think first is
“What kind of scale?”
However, that is “if usual”
Now, here in the royal capital, there is a hot topic among rchants.
It’s a rumor that “the Ancient Dragon scale seems to be auctioned.”
No, it’s officially announced, “Rumors” is a wrong word.
Because it is a fact.
It is said that the B rank party who received the investigation request found traces of the Ancient Dragons appearing to be rampaging, and several scales falling there.
It looks like it’s pretty broken, scorched pieces, but it’s still worth a lot.
And then, the young won’s parties say,
“When we were hunting and gathering, there was a rough place where sowhat big monsters have been rampaged, and sothing like scales fell there.
We don’t know what it is, but we thought it might sell and picked it up.”
Did the girls pass by before the hunters ca there to investigate?
Or did the Ancient Dragons rage elsewhere?
The clerk doesn’t know but what if these girls brought the Ancient Dragon Scale?
And these inexperienced girls also don’t know what it is.
『Well, here you go!』(Maevis)
He can’t judge even when the girls show him the actual thing.
Not just the Ancient Dragon’s scale, he can’t even judge the scales of the Earth dragon or the Wyvern, so it can’t be helped.
Anyway, the most important thing now is that he must not let these custors escape.
* * *
『Thank you for waiting ...』(rchant)
Passed to a small room for business negotiations in the back,
“Red Oath” was told to wait while getting served tea by another clerk,
The clerk ran to sowhere and ca back with two elderly n.
『I’m rcht, the owner of this firm, and this is Howl, the chief guard.』(rcht)
The rchant, who seed to be excited, said so and bowed down.
Normally, he won’t do such a thing to a young party as he is the owner of a store.
And apparently, the 2 clerks don’t introduce themselves or work with Red Oath.
But these two probably will get a reward (bonus) later.
It would be a reward or sothing for securing a good custor, judging that it was too much for themselves and passing it over properly to the boss.
『Did you say you brought an unusual thing?
Are you sure you want to price-check it?』(rcht)
『Of course. Mile-chan, bring it out』(Pauline)
The negotiator is, of course, Pauline.
Then as Pauline told, Mile took it out of her storage and put it on the table.
One scale that is completely beautiful, with no scratches or burns.
『Here you go, Please check.』(Pauline)
『This... this is......』(rcht)
Even his head is overflowed with joy, rcht still tries to keep the cool face.
『Well, it’s a large monster scale or sothing.
I also see it for the first ti, but it’s not going along with fangs, horns, or fur, it’s just one scale...
However, for all your trouble coming, visiting, and choosing our company.
I will pay 6 small gold coins ...
No, I will pay a little extra, 7 small gold coins』(rcht)
Normally, he should be amazed at Mile’s storage magic first.
But he keeps a quiet attitude to go through it and just says “It’s a big deal.”
Mile and Maevis would be deceived, but unfortunately, deceiving Pauline isn’t so easy.
Not to ntion the storage magic sowhat distracting him, he must also keep the expression that suits the custor like a rchant, he doesn’t realize that he was desperately disguised as a calm.
And above all, Pauline knew what distracting him the most.
Yes, it’s one of only a few “Almost Perfect, Ancient Dragon Scales”.
『Oh, if we have 7 small gold coins, we can stay at the inn for 3-4 days and eat as much as we like!』(Mile)
The rchants smiled at Mile who is happily saying so, but...
『See, as I said, wasn’t it okay to pick up both?』(Maevis)
Pishi~! (SFX)
Following after Mile, Maevis also adds another push.
『2 of them, you say...?』
『Oh, there were two beautiful scales among them, so we used all of our storage capacity to bring them both back.
There was an opinion that only picking one, but I pushed it with leader authority』(Maevis)
rcht shuts down with Maevis’ explanation.
Apparently, he thinks with all his head, considering a way to buy both.
『In order to free up storage space for them, it was worth taking out our luggage and carrying on our own, throwing out extra water』(Rena)
And Rena adds explanatory lines to reinforce Maevis’ words.
The reason that only two pieces of scales were brought back, or that only one piece was brought now, was that Mile had a small storage capacity.
And the rchants heard it naturally thought:
By chance, these girls had passed the scene before the B-rank party ca there and brought back the two best scales without knowing its value.
He had heard that all of the Ancient Dragon scales, that were brought back to the auction by the B-ranking party, are severely damaged, cut into “shards” and many are severely scorched.
On the other hand, how much value is this scale, which is almost perfect and can be processed into armor?
Moreover, two of them!
He can donate one to the King and the other to the auctions of senior nobles for honors, rewards, and huge profits.
If he did well, he could even get dignity like a noble.
『『............』』
Although the rchants still seed to barely be able to keep his calm, Pauline’s sentint was clear.
That is easy.
Pauline just had to think about what she would be if she were in that position.
(FUNA’s note)
“Let’s Beco a Novelist” now has a typo reporting feature!
This is useful for text correction!
For existing works, the default is “Do not accept reports”,
The author would “accept” it by all ans. (^^) /
In order to use this function, the person who reports the typo needs to report using this 『typo reporting function』, not the comnt column or ssage.
It is very easy to point out typographical errors, as it is possible to display the corresponding line with one click without copying and pasting.
Thank you! (^^) /
