Consulting the Village Chief

“Please lend us money”

What ca

“Gozoh, well, that’s…”

“Nn? Not to ht So for the village’s expenses then? What would it be used for?”

It seemed to be

The shopkeeper grinned

“Well, here’s the short of it Food durin’ winterti a route that’d ensure that, Koo-san’ll build coe at a discount”

“… Hey, didn’t you have soinally to return to for winterti troubleso

As for et any DP, it’s not like I really needed it either It isn’t that bad slowly entering the hot spring without nuisances too Then pair that with dozing off in the e chair

… Hm? Everyone, your expressions froze like crazy You’ve been quiet for a while now

Then, the shopkeeper was the one to break the silence

“No way, those iron golereat quality, there’s no way I’d do somethin’ that’d be like throwin’ away production durin’ wintertiht our livelihoods here after all Right, Koo-san?”

“Yeah! I’ll follow Keh to fill the gap, then Koo-san instantlyanything really

“Well it’s fine But wouldn’t it be a waste of money?”

“Pavuera and Sia’re always runnin’ short on iron, so it’ll definitely be worth it ‘Sides, soon there’ll even be a huge de the winter too”

“A huge de a lot of iron, it’d be for weapons and armor… doesn’t that imply war?”

I think I heard so, the shopkeeper had a surprised face

Ah, looks like I was spot on

“W-well, there’s some reasons I don’t want to stop operatin’ here for that time”

“So you mean it’ll be more like an investment than a loan?”

“Yah yah! Aaah as expected Kehma-han’s the best, the conversation’s already done! Ya definitely won’t lose out, how much can ya take out?” [1]

While the shopkeeper struck the table with a loud bang, he grinned broadly

Hmm, wouldn’t the amount depend on the ood chance to use the gold coins that I’ve just been hoarding aithout turning into DP?

I piled up gold coins on the table after taking them out of my [Safe]

Ten, twenty… eeh, troublesome, this should be around a hundred coins One old enough?”

“A-a hundred—!? Ah, y-yah, t-that’s enough Yah, this’ll double by spring, wait, that h, I’ll return around a hundred fifty!”

“You sees concerning the village’s operating expenses,the books, so don’t eht you’d do somethin’ like take out a hundred and plop it down… I’ll do it, ot!”

His shop is the Dyne Company huh It’s the first time I’ve heard that

By the way, froold see it now that I’ve taken it out, it’s better than having too little I took the chance to leave the funds stuff to him He looks motivated, so it’s ‘kay

“So much money… but, isn’t it too much? Aren’t you suspicious that he may swindle you or run aith it?”

Receptionist-san spoke

“Well, I trust hiuild receptionist, are also present here, aren’t you? … Besides, if a merchant ran aith just this much money it ht?”

“Hey, don’t look down on me! I’ll do whatever ya want if I eza, seppuku, anythin’!”

Not just dogeza, but even seppuku? Ah, if you do that be here so you turn into DP alright?

“That’s unexpected… Suddenly pressed into being the village chief, yet already able to take such prompt decisions”

“Fufufu, this is the first ti the Dyne-san this riled up”

I received a rare praise from Receptionist-san And next to her, that dandy- with so

Next is your turn

“Then, while we’re at it I’ll leave the village chief stuff to the bar , so as such, please do your best as the village sub-chief”
