Vol 10 Chapter 163 (2/2)
“… So I’ve been recognized by the Guild, you say?”
“Rather than that, they had no choice but to recognize you That sort of thing Zayin and Lorphys, and Selva It see around The one we’ve heard ht, was it? A named adventurer… a number of people come here to raise their names To avoid any unnecessary trouble, the need has arisen for us to prepare private rooms to deal with them”
From the Jewel, the Third sounded satisfied with that explanation
『I see At the first floor’s desk, there’s a chance someone will eavesdrop It’s a countermeasure for that』
Making a bit of a worn-out expression, Tanya-san spoke to me
“But a majority of adventurers will never set foot in here Even if they’re competent, most parties will still take on requests on the first floor”
That one made the Fourth satisfied
『Meaning it’s a measure to keep watch of the ones that stand out People that require special attention Isn’t that nice, Lyle?』
(It’s not nice at all!)
Tanya-san sat across from me, and took out some documents She had a number of requests prepared
Looking at them, their monetary sums were different from what I’d seen up to now
“I get the feeling these are different from the ones I often see on the first floor,”
I turned my eyes from the documents back to Tanya-san She smiled, and tilted her head a bit
“Because we’d like co their competence The monetary rewards are only set to match that”
Meaning they were of high difficulty, and most adventurers would be hard pressed to finish theh their contents, there were even soation
What’s more, it wasn’t just around Beim
“You can dispatch further than the countries around Beim?”
“That’s how it is The guilds servicing the area often find themselves unable to cope when unexpected uilds But It’s not as if there are always enough skilled adventurers on hand Beim had its fair share of those adventurers, so they send those requests to us”
I put my hand to my chin, and looked over the forold, to several hundreds
“Even if we coation requests…”
“Will still circulate to you preferentially But it’s less dangerous than passing through a difficult Labyrinth, sothese”
If it was several hundred gold, it’s true that choosing this route providedwhat sort of Labyrinth it was, and what enemies you could find in an unknown Labyrinth
Rather than challenging soht were clearer,it safer to prepare for
But the heads of history showed disapproval
The Fourth
『That one, with the travel distance, and the ti in the far north? The travel will take teeks by boat one way? It’ll be a week before you return Even if they give you eight hundred gold for it…』
The third held the same opinion
『And considering the equipment you’ll need, the profits are less than half that, aren’t they? It doesn’t reallybut these to earn h』
Dragon slaying The opponent was a dragon, a subspecies, at least
A nostalgic opponent I e foreliht in the First’s room of memories
If it was a dragon capable of flight, the reould probably go up in the thousands range
Tanya-san looked at me
“Land Dragon subjugation, I see Interested? It’s taken a stay in the forests, and it is an individual that has repelled the knight brigades sent after it If you beat it, you’ll be able to raise your name”
Looking at the papers…
“It does interest ht once before”
There, Tanya-san made a curious expression
“Would that be before you becaon, and by no ht countless adventurers and knights who carave”
I looked over the document, and smile
“Our ancestors took one down alone Well, it’s a nostalgic foe, so I was only curious I aht in need of money”
When I complained, Tanya-san spoke to me
“Money, is it… it’s possible you could solve that problem at once Of course, only if you complete that request, that is”
I was curious, so I looked at Tanya-san
“What do you mean?”
She…
“It seeotten What this city has been named While this is the city of adventurers, it is also the city of merchants, Lyle-kun”
Hearing that, the Fourth…
『Hmhmm… you say they’ll support an adventurer? There are times the feudal lords of Bahnseiuards or specialists According to this receptionist, it sounds as if they’ll provide a considerable sum』
There, the Fifth spoke, as if just recalling
『We’re next to the sea, and if there are plenty of merchants with shi+ps, there should be a considerable ae enterprises If there’s no feudal lord, they’re deciding the tax ast themselves Well, it’s a different place from Bahnseim』
The Seventh spoke delightedly
『Now then, I’m sure they’ve piled some up For the sake of continental peace, how about we put a bit of their funds to good use?』
The Third got everyone’s opinions together
『Yes, let’s go get a prior investht… if we haven’t got any money, we need only take it from someone who does!』
I thought
(What’s this feeling? I get the feeling these people are even darker than usual)
Tanya-san looked at my troubled face in wonder
“What’s wrong, Lyle-kun?”
“Eh, uo into that in a bit more detail?”

… Shannon looked at the blueprints in Monica had brought out
To be ave off a bit of a strange reaction The ink had been injected with just a bit of Mana, so Shannon could see its lines as well
And what those lines shoere auous to her
Looking at the sheet over the table Besides Shannon, Clara and May were there as well
It was a strange grouping, but the others had gone out shopping, and they wouldn’t be back for a while
Monica ignored the three of the the room
Clara gripped her glasses steady as she looked at the prints
“Why is it wo, then arolems like the ones Professor Damien uses would be best”
May spoke uninterestedly
“Hus Isn’t this just one of them? Or maybe it’s Damien’s or Lyle’s fetish?”
Munching on the sweets in her hand, May looked at the blueprints She dropping crumbs around, and Monica approached to clean the area around her
“Please don’t spill And don’t dirty the blueprints… well, I’ve copied theuess there isn’t a problem”
Hearing about copying, Clara twitched in response But she returned her eyes to the prints
Shannon spoke to Monica
“Hey, why is it shaped like a woman?”
There, Monica spoke as if it were natural
“It will use the cores of my sisters Of course it will take on a woant, but it’s supposed to look like a dress There’s no helping if it costs some money”
Clara spoke levelly
“Eh? Wouldn’t it be fine if you cut down those costs?”
There…
“Women cost money That much can be left to the Chicken dickwad’s hard work Well, to explain a bit more, the dress-type ar the ht, a woman has to dress her best! Let’s just leave it at that”
Shannon put her thoughts to mouth
“How strange And how many sisters do you have, anyways?”
“’Many’, is the only way I can answer that If you want to speak in production numbers… probably a few hundred thousand? If you want to narron to my production line, then a few thousand?These are all the cores I have on hand, though”
Monica held up a cube on the palm of her hand That sether
Shannon spoke
(It’s soe And scary)
Shannon wasn’t able to understand it, but shaking her head, she turned back to the glowing lines on the blueprints…
