Weed Reincarnation ~ Carefully Raised in the Elf Village ~

Chapter 65-: Business Talk (laughs)

(TL By GUST)

When we broke up with the fighters, we went to a company on the main street of Bifröst, led by Elder Gordo.

　The name of the company seems to be "Risant Shokai", and you can see that it is usually prosperous with a somewhat large storefront.

　Perhaps it is still prosperous due to special demand during the war, but I got the impression that the number of general customers is decreasing, and the inside of the store is somewhat quiet.

"Oh! This is Gordo! Welcome!"

　As soon as I entered, the clerk went down to the back and brought me a man with a fat body.

　Like the soldiers who were shields in the building where the transfer team was, the race with scales and tails-later I heard that it was a sand lizard-approached with a big smile while rubbing. ..

　Perhaps the dwarves were a good trading partner for him, he was enthusiastically welcomed.

　The physique is like a riche merchant, but the clothes and accessories he wears seem to be of good quality, but he has a simple appearance, and the smiling face does not feel like a person.

　I don't know if he's a good person, but at least he didn't seem to be an incompetent person as a merchant.

"It's been a long time, Pron"

" I've been waiting for Chiaki's thoughts every day when I can come here!"

"I say it well"

　After exchanging words so lightly, the eyes of a merchant called Pron turned to me.

"No, I've never had this much time before. I'm guessing, are these people the reason?"

"Well, that's not the case. That's why I'm living together in the village now."

"What! It seems that it was difficult to live with the elves ..."

　While saying that, Pron stopped looking at me for some reason.

　Maybe I think that's the reason.

"Now, I'm talking about standing. I'll show you to the back."

　However, maybe we didn't even hear it here, we were quickly guided to the back of the store.

　● ○ ●

　We were taken to a luxurious drawing room to the extent that we didn't like it, and we settled down on sofas and chairs.

　Then, some kind of fruit juice-like juice is served for each person.

　Maybe it was just in case, but I couldn't drink it, so I gave it to Sefie with a greedy face, and briefly explained about myself and how the elves decided to live in the dwarven village. Then, a person who seemed to be a subordinate of Pron appeared with a piece of paper.

　From behind, two more people bring a total of six magic bags.

　In fact, by the time I came to this room, I had handed over the magic bag and the trade items I brought for sale.

　If you put them all together, it will be a considerable amount, and you can't put them all in the drawing room.

　Therefore, all the items were taken out to the warehouse first, and the subordinates made a list of them and brought them.

　By the way, the six people who carried the magic bag so far were Elder Gordo, two dwarves, Walnut, Laurel, and Maple.

　Even if you carry it on your back, it is not heavy and it does not hinder your movement, but Brynhildr and others are escorts, so they are light.

　anyway.

　We received the empty magic bag, and when Pron, who received the inventory, nodded, his men bowed down.

"Then, please check."

　With that said, Pron hands the inventory to Elder Gordo.

　It seems that he wants you to confirm that the type and number of items for sale listed are correct.

"Umu"

　Nodded, Old Gordo put it in front of me without glancing at the paper.

　Apparently, check with me. why.

　While thinking that, I'm serious by nature, so I confirm it firmly.

"It's okay, no doubt"

"Thank you"

　When he answered, Pron recovered the inventory with a smile and a bow.

　Well, I was wondering if price negotiations would start from here, but it was a continuation of the conversation.

"But it's the first time I've seen my spirits with my own eyes. And I'm scared of my luck, such as meeting the three pillars of spirits at once."

"Well, right?"

　Well, I don't feel bad if you are so happy.

　I've become great too.

"And I guess that lady is a high elf, isn't she?"

"Yeah, that's right"

　And, it also finds out that Sephi is a high elf.

Maybe you have "magical power sensing" or analysis skills.

"Oh! That's right! It's noble from the first glance-it seems that it wasn't my fault that I felt the sacred atmosphere."

"Hmm!"

　Perhaps he found out that he was praised, Sephi was sick.

"This pron will be a lifelong honour, as it will come true to the forest gods and spirits."

"No, not so much"

"Muh! It's coming!"

　I'm shy, I'm shy.

　I don't understand, I wish I had Pron-chan.

　Pron nodded and started business talks.

"This time, I visited the four great people, so I studied as much as I could, and the purchase price was all 40% of the normal price-no, how about 50% more?"

"Huh? 50%? seriously? good?"

"Yes, I would like to have a good relationship with Morigami-sama and the spirits, rather than making a profit from business this time. I would like to buy it at a higher price. I hope you can think of it as sincerity. "

　I feel sorry for the sudden purchase at a price that is 50% higher.

　But well, I can't refuse if I'm so respected.

　I'm grateful and decided to buy it at that price.

　No, Old Gordo is completely on the sidelines, so I have to deal with it.

"Something is wrong. But if you can tell me that much, I wonder if I can accept your words. "

"No, it's natural."

　Pron nodded very humbly.

　After that, he was told that the amount would be increased by 50%, and within that amount, he would buy salt, seasonings, sake requested by dwarves, cloth, and other items that were difficult to procure in Hidden Village.

　That said, it seems that the amount is still small compared to the previous time because there is no grocery that is usually purchased in large quantities.

　I handed over the bag again to have the purchased items packed in a magic bag, but it was enough to fit in two magic bags.

　Naturally, the purchase price is less than the sale price, and you will bring back a fair amount of money.

　The conversation with Pron continues while the product is packed in a magic bag.

"But if you didn't buy food this time, did you mean that you had a good idea of ​​how to procure food?"

　You might have expected it after looking at the list of items for sale, and the question sounded similar to confirmation.

　By the way, in addition to the metal weapons and armour made by the dwarves and several types of ingods refined and processed from ore, we also brought them for sale.

　The huge amount of six magic bags is due to the fact that it contains a large amount of processed Wyvern materials (weapons, armour, or tanned leather itself). ..

"Um. That's pretty good about food. I think I'll buy less from the Lord in the future, but I'm sorry."

"No! No! I'm ashamed to say that there is still a shortage of groceries and we don't have enough stock to sell. I am relieved to hear that I have a good idea. There are few items that can be sold now, but I welcome purchases at any time, so please do not hesitate to visit us. "

"Umu"

"Yes, so--"

　Then, Pron's line of sight turns to the magic bag placed beside the sofa.

　Perhaps because of my mind, I felt that my gaze became a sharp gaze like a hunter for a moment.

"Is that magic bag a product of the religion?"

"No, this is a monjayaki made by us."

"Oh! What! That's great!"

　Pron's eyes shine with joy.

　Well, if you know the features of a magic bag, it's no wonder that every merchant wants it.

　However, Elder Gordo, on the other hand, makes a difficult face in anticipation of Pron's words that follow.

"I tell you, this guy consumes a lot of magic stones, unlike the ones in the religion. It's a deteriorated product, so to speak."

　It can't be helped because it doesn't use the demon absorption technique, but its performance is inferior to that of the religious nation. I've said that I don't like that as a craftsman, so I'm afraid I'm reluctant to sell such items.

　However, even if I hear that, Pron's expression does not change.

"Although it consumes a lot of magic stones, it doesn't seem to be inferior in performance other than that. Even if it is a little inferior, it is different from what we merchants want to get out of their throats. No. How about, Mr Gordo. Could you sell me a magic bag? "

"......... Hmm, no, it was a story that the front line was approaching."

After a brief silence, Elder Gordo opened his mouth.

　Surprisingly, it doesn't seem like a refusal atmosphere.

"Isn't this useful?"

"Yes, that's it. There is no doubt that it will be of great help in maintaining the front line."

　Pron's expression was serious and sincere.

Does the phrase "to maintain the front line" mean that the national interest is prioritized over the interests of oneself?

　If so, considering the size of the company, Pron may be in a position like a political entrepreneur.

　Or, as a merchant in Bifröst, it could be an investment to prevent the city from being engulfed in war and suffering damage to the company.

　However, looking at Pron's expression, it seems that the profit and loss account as a cold merchant is not the only reason for action.

"I'm indebted to the Lord, well, yeah. I'll bring the newly made one as soon as possible."

"Oh ... !! Thank you, Mr Gordo!"

　Pron took the old Gordo's hand with excitement and bowed deeply.

　● ○ ●

　After finishing the business talk with Pron, we decided to take a walk in Bifröst city.

　However, many shops were already closed, probably because the front line was approaching, and most of the people who went out were mercenaries, soldiers, and other people who dressed like mercenaries.

　Still, I chilled out one of the few open shops, enjoyed a meal in the desert city at a restaurant, or strolled along the shores of an oasis in the heart of Bifröst.

　However, the only place like a tourist attraction is an oasis, and the truth is that I got tired of it soon.

　It's still a long day, but we decided to go home early and started walking to the building with the relocation team.

　On the way

"No, even so, Pron is hungry to buy it for 50% more. Is it such a profit? "

　Maybe it's limited to this time, but it sold well so it feels good.

　Oh, by the way, I sold all the magic bags except the two I'm currently using.

　Let's just say that the amount was ... naturally insanely expensive.

"That's it ..."

　Laurel reacts to my words with a thoughtful face.

"What happened?"

"No, in the first place, the price of this city should be rising because it is in the war and the front is near, right?"

　Laurel stopped speaking there, but realized what he was trying to say.

"……Ah. ...... No, no, but even if you say it's getting higher, it's about 30%. "

　As a result of chilling some stores, the selling price is now about 30% higher than normal, the old Gordes dwarves said.

　Then, of course, the price when selling something should be about the same. Especially when it comes to the weapons and armour used in war.

"Well ... 20% is profitable ..."

　Even if the current sale price is 30% higher than the regular price, they bought it at 50% higher, so you should definitely get 20%.

　By the way, when I confirmed with Elder Gordo, the sale price this time was not as tight as it is now-that is, it is about 50% more than normal, so there is no worry that even that is being deceived.

　If it is said that this is "sincerity" with an increase of 30%, it may be rushing to the company to say even one of the complaints, but it is hard to complain that 20% is profitable.

　This subtle feeling that we would be very grateful if we didn't notice it, but that it wasn't the reason to complain when we noticed it, was the merchant himself trying to get a return over the amount he paid.

　It's hard to tell whether he's a sincere merchant or a raccoon dog.

"Well, it's not something I care about."

　Laurel said with a bitter smile.

　We return to the building with the transition team, creating a subtle atmosphere.

　At the doorway of the building, the same soldier man as when he came was still standing.

　While greeting him for his return, he went inside and went down the stairs to the small room.

　Then, when you get on the transfer team, the same pattern of light as last time appears on the surface of the device, and the screen and sentences appear in the air.

　There

　Himinbjörg to the first floor.

　Was only written.

　Apparently, you can only go to the second floor where monsters appear, via a cave with a hidden village.

　Well, it's natural because that cave is one level.

　We select only one transfer destination and wait for a five second countdown.

"--Hmm?"

"what happened?"

　During the countdown, I felt like I was called by Sefie and turned around, and Sefie tilted her head with a mysterious face.

　Apparently, he didn't call it.

"No, it was my fault."

　Immediately after saying that, the transfer team was activated and we returned to the Hidden Village.
