13-24 Secret of the Red RopeSatou's here I can't follow forced events in RPG gaames When I've beco it like that is easier though

◇

After having a dinner together with everyone and Zena squad, I went to Echigoya Firm in Kuro form

The dinner by the former royal chef was splendid

The flavor itself didn't differ much from mine or Lulu's, but the stea small joy, and there were balanced sour and bitter set tired with the taste, it was a refreshi+ng meal

These kind of little attentions to details and scheht come from the chef's experience as a royal chef that surpass the limit of skill

It was truly a good experience--

”Kuro-saood happen?”

The ood mood

Tifaliza who's turning the docu an undisturbed composed face like usual

”It's nothing ive me the report for the second day of the auction”

”Yes, certainly”

The things exhibited in the second day of the auction were ic medicines

”The exhibited iterowth forrade staic power o medicine, 20 bottles of stiff shoulder medicine, 144 bottles of headache medicine, in total there were 952 articles”

The popular hair growth formula's share is one unit per month so there was only a few of them exhibited The vitality medicine's share is in dozens unit so they're exhibited <tln: not=”” really=”” sure=”” what=”” satou=”” is=”” talking=”” about=”” here=””>

”Did we exhibit luo and stiff shoulder medicines too?”

”Yes, we got quite good feedback when I tried giving four of theh pressure all years, so I had them exhibited”

I hadall of them to the civil officials is no problem

All of the ingredient for the otten plentifully in the upper layer of the labyrinth andthem isn't a hard work anyway, maybe I should make them more if they have frequent customers

I was troubled with stiff shoulders when I was in the former world, so I know their hardshi+p after all

”The total aold coins”

Fuh~n, that's that huh

Around 10 of ic swords--no wait

Soe

It's no wonder when it's ic swords that can only be ic redients and the recipes you see?

”That's higher than the anticipated Did anything happen?”

”Yes, we had expected that there would be scrarowth formula and vitality medicines, however--”

If you had expected them, you could have just told ht

”During the opening, the proxies of Duke Bishtal and Marquis Llyoid were having a fierce bidding war for it, so the other people were lured and bid for it too Moreover, both of them are popular item that need reservation more than one month in advance after all”

I see

Still, even though neither Duke Bishtal nor Marquis Lloyd is bald, what are they going to use hair growth formula for?

Wonder if their relatives need it?

”The staoing to war, but the a 33 Wands”

”--It appears that the market has evaluated that the ic power medicine”

Tifaliza suppleer's report

Upper grade eneral, so I understand how it had become a competition

After all, no one will agree to athering the ingredients for it is annoying

Above all, in order to get [Blood Bead], you'll need to go into the [Labyrinth of Dead] the den of undead, and defeat some vampires

Moreover, on top of vah enemies, the [Blood Bead] is a rare drop

It's really hard to get thei match

”The nutrients were selling as expected, there is nothing special to o, stiff shoulders, and headaches ht by the family of the prime minister”

”--A letter regarding that matter has arrived from Prime Minister-sama”

I confirave me

There's a sealing wax politely placed

I break the seal with the paper knife the er handed to me

”What has the prime minister written?”

”It's a request froularly”

It doesn't see theician to heal theularly

It seems my doubt was transmitted, Tifaliza's ice blue eyes jolt and then she adds

”The effect of Kuro-sammade stiff shoulders and headache , it's better than low-grade ic, but if soician for such a trivial thing, they will surely lose their job”

Perhaps, Tifaliza suffers from headaches too?

I should mass produce them since I have the diluted recipe anyway

”Give a positive answer to the priive the recipes for the three of theh and check whether they can produce so equal”

If there are a lot of demand for it, then I can just increase the supply

I want to welcooya Firm that can keep their balance in black with more commodity without me

◇

Items made in the doorkshop were exhibited in the second auction hall but since they were sold at nornored them

It's fine as along as they're in the black unrelated to me

After finishi+ng the paperwork, I drink the tea made by the new slave maid to quench my thirst

I put some Mont Blanc cake as the tea cake for the executives

I got it from Lulu with some nice chestnuts

”Kuro-sama, I am sorry for the impudent request beforehand, but do you know the current position of a person called Toril?”

The er unusually asked that

The name doesn't sound familiar

I searched the territory that's under direct control of the king on the e, one in a junction town, and one in the mountains of the royal capital's outskirt It seems they're the only three with the name

”It's not that I don't know, but what is it for?”

”Knowing the location of that person is a requirement to secure the cooperation of a potent collaborator”

--I see, he's the link needed to create a collaborator for Echigoya Firm

There is no need to hesitate if the er appraises them as a [Potent Collaborator]

”I don't mind, but how old is this Toril?”

”Yes, he's a 11 year old boy”

”That one is in the cave in the mountains north-northwest of the Royal Capital Do you need a map?”

”Y-yes, if it's possible”

I draw it on the paper that Tifaliza's handed

Drawing the contour line would be better, but then it wouldn't be like a fantasy world's map, so I stopped myself

I take another piece and draw the map for the inside of the cave

”I don't knohat you'll use it for, but there are lethal traps on this point, so tell it to the other party”

”Yes, I understand”

I obviously overdid it, but since I can erase Kuro's position anytime, there's no problem--

If I get involved in soht with a demon lord

Of course, I'll perform as the demon lord that defeats Kuro myself

--I thought of soe how iven to the other party

She knows that I hate troublesos, so I'm sure she will do it well

When I was hesitating whether to ask for another refill, my ears heard an auditory hallucination

--Pipiru, piru

”Kuro-sama, is that bird Kuro-sama's pet?”

The er puts her hands on her cheeks and asks

There's a jade colored bird resting on the overcoat rack before her field of vision

”--Kuro-sama, please be careful”

”What's wrong? Tifaliza?”

”That bird invaded Kuro-sama's office which has the s and the door shut”
