”I sold those to you. How you're gonna use them is up to you.”
”That's the part I need to consult Lecan-sama about.”
”Where.”
”Purchasing them would mean we have to agree to a price, then I have to pay the agreed price in exchange for the goods.”
”Yeah well, that's how it is.”
”It's not like our company cannot afford the amount of money needed to buy up all those materials. However, it won't be the most optimum prices for those goods, and it won't be a deal that could extend business arms of Chaney Company.”
”And.”
”I would like to penetrate Vantaroy market using those goods.”
”Haven't you formed business connections at Vantaroy already.”
”Yes. And it's thanks to Lecan-sama. With the items you acquired in Dungeon Golbul, Chaney Company managed to find new trade partners, and garnered considerable trust. We opened a branch office at Vantaroy just the other day, with Orst assuming branch manager position.”
Orst is a clerk of Chaney Company. Lecan's group escorted him once.
”Those materials are not beyond the skill of the artisans here at Vouka. However, the expert craftsmen at Vantaroy are capable of producing items one or two ranks higher out of them.”
”Hou.”
”I plan to join forces with a certain merchant at Vantaroy and get skilled craftsmen to craft the best products, mainly light armor, there are, and for that, I plan to present it to Vantaroy's town lord.”
”Is the lord here fine with that.”
”We will gift some to the lord here as well. Naturally. And if the town lord there permits, I'd like to put up new goods on the market and sell materials to new trade partners.”
”Then do so. I've got no reason to refuse.”
”We cannot put a price on the goods right away if we proceed with this plan. And the payment will have to be deferred for quite a long time.”
”I don't mind. I'm staying in this town for the remainder of the year. No need to hurry.”
”Thank you very much! I shall take up the challenge now that Lecan-sama has given his consent. This will help forming connections with new business partners and craftsmen, opening a path for goods one, two rank higher. Please accept this.”
Chaney put a luxurious small bag on a tray and presented it to Lecan.
”This small deposit is the least we could muster right now.”
Lecan took up the bag.
He guessed there were two white gold coins inside from the feels.
Lecan put the bag back on the tray and pushed it to Chaney.
”You're gonna need some liquidity. Save the money for when it's all done.”
Chaney bowed his head almost down to the ground.
”Thank you, so very much.”
”Well then, can we talk about our light armor orders now.”
”Yes. We've called a workman for the measurement. Please consult to the person himself for any requests you have in mind. As it will be made at Vantaroy, we're truly sorry but it will take a month to finish.”
”Ah, Chaney-san.”
”Yes. How may I help you, Arios-sama.”
”I'd like to sell this.”
”And this <Box> is?”
”There's a venom sac of Dungeon Ninae boss, Octocular Great Spider Queen inside. ”
”Eh?”
Chaney was frozen solid on the spot like he got hit by the Queen's freezing attack.
Lecan spoke to Chaney.
”I want you to use the highest quality parts from the materials we gave you for our armor.”
”Y-yes. Naturally.”
”Also, use this for the armored parts.”
Lecan stood up and took a huge mass out of his chest <Storage>.
With a diameter of around a step and a half, a beautiful blue shell-like something.
There's a lone hole on a section.
If you look closer, you'd notice scratches on the lower part.
With a single glance, Chaney realized that it was a mat from a mighty magic beast he never witnessed before in his life.
”That's... That's... It can't be.”
”Shell part of the Queen's abdomen.”
Dungeon Ninae boss is structurally unique, boasting an extremely tough abdomen.
To the point that a full power blow of Lecan's Perforation skill was unable to open a hole in one hit.
”Eda. You haven't got your share in the Queen's extermination, have you.”
”Eh?”
”The best part of this shell is yours.”
”Eh!”
”Chaney.”
”Y-yes.”
”Make Eda's light armor out of this shell's best part. Use the rest for me and Arios's armor.”
”W-we shall have it done.”
”You can buy the leftover scraps.”
