Capítulo 54: Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken Chapter 53

Freedom Association

We proceeded into Brumund's Royal Capital.

The city appears old but sturdy.

The pedestrians appeared bright and cheerful with no gloominess in sight.

Probably due to the fact that there is no visible damage from powerful monsters or other threats.

And as you'd expect from such a remote country, there were many people geared up.

Based on my appraisal ability, most armors and weapons used are of inferior quality. Similarly, they also seemed rather weak.

However, smelling the air of a downtown area after so long was pretty exciting.

Buying some roasted meat on a stick, we continued onward.

I have no idea what meat this is, but it's strangely delicious.

Actually, I can analyze the meat to find out where it came from, but I won't do that. I have something else that needs to be analyzed.

The sauce. This sauce could come in handy for research. Though it is unfair to the chef, eating something lets me learn its recipe.

So I made a mental note of the required ingredients for this meal.

I am advancing further in, guided by the trio, with a specific store in mind.

Magic Tool Store.

Normal tool stores and magic tool stores are very different than what people from my world would imagine.

When adventurers, for example, refer to "tool stores" they typically mean magic ones.

And it is one of these magic tool stores – I'll simply call it tool store from now on – that was our destination.

To learn current market prices.

I am planning to sell medium grade medicine today. However, even if I want to sell it at 15 silvers a piece, I need to first know the price of low grade medicine.

I also want to know if there is any product made from Illusion Flowers, or something related to them.

If we turn them in to the guild, we can make ten silvers per bouquet.

Though you'd think you could make a lot of money this way, but going into the forest to search for this elusive flower often proves pointless, so most people abstain.

So if you're planning on becoming a permanent harvesting adventurer, you shouldn't expect to become rich quick.

Thus, usually people find them while adventuring somewhere and come to sell them; the buyer then collects them and turns them over to whoever requests.

Which would mean that harvesting requests tend to stick around for years. It's a lengthy process.

And since I have lots of such medical plants and flowers, I'd want to know their current prices.

So, we entered the store.

A peculiar smell filled the room and the store itself gave off a queer aura.

A store you'd expect to be run by some elderly witch.

Actually, the owner looks just like that.

I looked around, quickly evaluating the goods. Sadly, I didn't see any rare items.

Low grade potions are in stock, and at a higher price.

Why? Simple: the neighboring Farmas Kingdom has stopped allowing goods to come from the Dwarf Kingdom.

Though I guess I over exaggerated; they are merely preventing any goods that could be used by the military to reach here.

And since high quality potions no longer arrive from the Dwarf Kingdom, they have no choice but to sell the inferior stuff made by the local pharmacists.

Besides, since they are making things by boiling medical herbs found in forests and caves, the medicine they produce is naturally inferior.

Hmm? Do I smell an opportunity…?

At the moment, low grade potion [Quality: Normal, Effect: 20%] is sold for 2 silver coin.

In comparison, abysmal potion [Quality: Low, Effect 15%] is sold for 1 silver coin.

So even a small change in effect can lead to such a drastic change in price. I guess considering that it could save your life, people are rarely stingy with medicine.

And with such shortage of material, adventurers who come across medical herbs will quickly find a buyer even if their guild doesn't accept it.

It's always in demand, it seems.

Next, Illusion Flowers.

From this flower you can make Hallucinogens and Bewitching Perfume.

The effects of these items are,

Hallucinogens: Used to amplify〈Hypnotism-type Magic〉. Taking it normally will induce hallucinations. Leads to addiction.

Bewitching Perfume: Amplifies the effects of〈Hypnotism-type Magic〉by up to 30%. Increases resistance to〈Hypnotism-type Magic〉by up to 30%.

That would be for quality item, of course; normal one would increase the effects by only 20%.

What is amplified? The success rate of the skill, the extent of control, and the duration. It is an item coveted by most practitioners of this type of magic.

However, addiction is bad. It's probably similar to our world's hallucinogens. Though I doubt they sell it to just anybody.

By the way, while I was analyzing the poison, I happened to have acquired some resistance to it. At this rate, I might get a new skill soon.

If I harvest and analyze some more poisonous plants, of course. Eating the plant would be a bad idea, but I wouldn't get poisoned if I absorbed it into my stomach.

So, I can't die from poison. And since I wouldn't get food poisoning either, I taste tested most dishes during the trip.

But I digress.

The effects of these items is easy to dispel, but surely they cost a lot?

「Haah? Hallucinogens and Bewitching Perfume? You can't get such amazing items here.

Rather than in a small country like ours, you should be looking elsewhere!」

The store's granny told me.

Did she think that I was ridiculing her?

Chances are the fact that she has even heard of such medicines is impressive.

In fact, the medicine sold here is made by her. She's pretty learned, it seems.

「Ah, my bad. The thing is, I happen to have gotten my hands on some of those, but aren't sure if it's actually the real deal.

I even borrowed a gold coin to buy it, so I'm curious!」

I said, trying to deceive her.

「What did you say? Show me. I'll check if for you.

I won't charge you, so rest easy!」

The granny replied.

Since she asked, I had no choice but to take out a small bag with a hallucinogen I made prior.

I have quite a few more bags like this. The hallucinogen is fine like sugar, but red in color.

The granny took it from my hands and used〈Identification Magic〉on it.

「Oh my! It's real! Aren't you lucky.

With this much, you can easily make 2 golds coins.

But production and sales of this item is forbidden to amateurs.

It can only be sold by magicians with a special license, so beware!

If you want to pawn it, however, I'd be happy to buy it from you for two gold coins!」

She said, surprised.

Turning a bouquet in to the guild would earn you 10 silvers. Whereas processing it would yield you 2 gold coins. That's 20 times higher.

Moreover, you can also make some Bewitching Perfume from it. All you need is to dilute the extract with water.

So this is another product that will sell well; I'm glad we picked it.

I mean, I knew magic items were expensive, but for them to be so expensive! Well, it's my profit, so I don't complain.

But now that she had evaluated it for me, I can't just leave without buying anything.

Doesn't she have any good items…?

Seeing a complete lack of rare items, I started searching for anything I might need.

And then I found it, 『Dummy's Guide! Easy to understand 〈Elemental Magic〉theories!』– a magic book titled thus.

Seems like its a part of a popular publication, but to think that it is even sold out here?

Well, I can read some, and even simply reading letters is practice. So let's buy the book.

「Aha. So, little girl, you're aspiring to be a magician?

That's a beginner's book.

Kids who want to enroll in an academy study from this book.

But you know, you can't become a magician just from reading this book, are you sure you want to buy it?」

A magic academy! How wonderful. I want to go check it out someday.

Someday, I'll use『Great Sage』to get all the magic in the world…

「Yeah, no problem. How much is it?」

「Child, your face is pretty but you've got the tongue of a middle-aged man…

Ah, well. Unfortunately, it isn't cheap. Magic is a rich-man's hobby.

The masses, without connections or something, can never learn magic.

Just this book costs a single gold coin; too much, right?」

I wonder… since I'm wearing the mask, is the granny guessing by my voice?

I don't really care, either way. Maybe I should change my voice to seem older…?

Well, it's too late now. And since it's a pain, I'll leave it as is for now.

Since I'm around 150 cm tall right now, should I claim to be a young boy?

It's been a year since I was born, but my soul is at least 38 years old; in other words, it's hard to figure out my age. In any case, I'm a child at heart.

So if I look young, that isn't a problem.

An enigmatic boy wearing a mask. Don't fret, there's plenty of delusional idiots calling themselves heroes and demon lords, so I'd fit right in.

So let's introduce myself thus from now on.

Magic is for the rich, huh. There's probably plenty among them that are incapable of learning magic, too.

A single gold coin is about a hundred thousand yen.

Though they do seem to have a printing press, I wonder why there's so few printed books?

「No problem. I'll buy the book for 1 gold. However, I wonder why it's so expensive?」

「Ah, that's simple. Magic books, you see, can only be written down by hand.

Though the Ghost Researchers have the copying machine, it rejects magic manuscripts.

So, any magic book on the market has been written by hand.

By the way, this book I wrote myself when I was younger, so please take care of it!」

「I see. I didn't know, so thank you. I'll treat it with care.」

I said, handing over a single gold coin. Transaction complete.

「Doesn't look it, but she's rich, huh… but still a child, right?

What are parents doing handing their kids this much money…」

She grumbled to herself, while handing over the book.

Magic books are handwritten, so I should expect them to be expensive.

From now on, whether I stop by the magic academy or another royal capital, I will buy every magic book in sight! So I decided.

The trio have also purchased whatever they came for. Well, so I say, but they only came to restock on potions and other herbs, so they've been waiting for me.

After thanking the owner, I left the store. It was a time well spent.

After leaving the store, I stop the trio.

「You guys… you understand, right?」

「「「...….」」」

The trio each handed me 10 Illusion Flower bouquets.

And to each I handed a gold coin. Thus I have 16 gold coins left; so lots more to spend.

I'd much rather process the Illusion Flowers myself. It would be wasteful to hand them over to the guild.

During my conversation with the trio, they looked as if they wanted to ask something.

「Wait a minute! Rimuru-san, when had you processed the Illusion Flowers?

Actually, it's considered really difficult to do!

There have been people who died from the poisonous gasses that the plants let out!」

I see. So it really was such a dangerous plant. I guess the price is fitting.

「Fufufu. Processing such a weed is simple for someone like I!」

「No fair! I can't even do it…」

「As expected of danna. I wouldn't be surprised at anything now.」

「Me too. Danna is someone who can do anything.」

Three jealous idiots.

But other then Ellen, the other two have already accepted the facts.

And, considering that we have researched the cost as desired, we headed for the Freedom Association.

We reached Brumund's Freedom Association Branch.

The guild was at the end of road leading out of the commercial district where the magic store was.

It's a stately building made of stone.

The Dwarf Kingdom often dug down into the stone, so most buildings were at most 3 floors tall.

The Lizardmen would make use of windows designated with magic to light their houses, but this is different. It depends on natural light.

So I was under the impression that people didn't build high-rise houses in this world. Well, whether you can consider 5 stories "high-rise" is a different story.

When we entered, I noticed that they are somehow regulating the temperature; it was pleasant inside.

While I actually can't feel the change in temperature due to my resistances, I could tell the difference using heat detection ability.

I guess they are keeping the temperature constant with magic. Surprisingly advanced, I must say.

I had thought that the world travelers kept the world relatively primitive, but I guess they've been trying to develop it in a direction different than ours.

Maybe if there were no monsters or demon lords, this world would be a true magic society.

However, it can also be said that all the current knowledge has been researched to counter monsters.

Since the demon lords exercised restraint, the humans bought them off by handing over fertile land; so when power shifts in favor of humans, an invasion into their realms is a legitimate possibility.

That thought has been preached by the Western Saints Church, I heard.

True, monsters are stronger right now; but no one knows what the future will hold. I guess I need to implement some real foreign policy to protect the rights of my city.

I'm glad I came here.

By seeing a human city, by learning something about humans, I can better prepare against possible future threats.

Thus, I decided to see more and more things.

Now then, I shouldn't stand in the doorway.

I was guided further in by the trio. The inside reminded me of a municipal building's reception room.

There's a desk like one you'd see at an airport–where you surrender your baggage, with a plate that reads: Sales Counter.

All in all, there are three counters separated from each other.

The Sales Counter I just mentioned.

Counter for visitors and other general users.

Counter specific for adventurers.

The room is separated into these three sectors.

The sales counter is exactly what it sounds like; items that you found or went to obtain on request are brought over here.

The general counter is used by beginners and Freedom Association members who live in the city. That's where you go to register or retire from the guild.

The adventurer's counter can only be used by authorized adventurers.

An adventurer is a Freedom Association member who either goes foraging, subjugating, or hunting on request. Some take on different types of tasks, but most people still refer to them by the generic term–adventurer.

Furthermore, an adventurer is someone who has to have some basic combat ability.

For example, there's a specialized division called the Magicians Guild. To be affiliated with them, you need to be able to use some kind of magic; however, affiliation with them does not guarantee usefulness to the Freedom Association.

It's no good if all you can do is use some magic. Only after you have lived by foraging, subjugating, or hunting are you recognized as an adventurer.

So, what are the merits to becoming an adventurer?

While every Freedom Association Branch is affiliated with a specific country, its members are able to change countries easily.

Leaving the city or even crossing the border is far easier for an adventurer. Of course, this may not apply during wartime, but this allows for greater mobility.

In other words, compared to people with clear allegiances, Guild Members are able to freely select a country where they want to live. Well, not like there's a big difference other than the tax you'd have to pay.

The origin of the name "Freedom Association" comes from adventurers who wanted to be able to freely move between countries.

Well, even so, there's not that many people who constantly switch countries.

This was explained to me by the three idiots on our way to the counters.

After receiving this explanation, we proceeded to the back.

「Hey, we're leading our guest to the backrooms, so let us pass.」

「Ah, Cabal-san. You have returned. Who might this be?」

「Yeah, Guild Master's guest. Treat him with respect, please.」

After that exchange, we were let through.

And in the background,

「Cabal-san is so cool~!」

「Ellen-san is so gorgeous… Always so beautiful!」

「Fools! To not understand Gido-san's greatness…」

「「「But, who is that kid? Why treat her with respect?」」」

I heard the people in the background say this, but couldn't really understand them.

Why are the three idiots idolized here? Even in the first village we stopped by they were famous.

We stopped in front of a room in the back. The room was guarded by two soldiers, who opened the door on Cabal's signal.

In the middle of the room is a magic circle.

Similar to the one that Bester drew. One that allows travel both ways.

I was guided to the magic circle, and used it to teleport.

It can be used to travel up to the fourth floor; the fifth floor is accessible via a different circle.

To prevent infiltration from spies and such. How prudent.

Now that I think about it, there are no windows passed the fourth floor. Probably to prevent break-in.

The magic circle to the fifth floor lies directly beyond the guild master's room.

We entered the room.

「Welcome, "One who commands monsters"!

I am this Branch's Guild Master Fuze.」

A short man with a vigilant face extended his greetings.

I see, he definitely fits the description of a Guild Master.

He's plenty strong and seems rather capable. But if anything, it's the aura about him.

He seems to be a rather gutsy individual.

「I am Rimuru Tempest. Ruler of the new Monster Country "Tempest" of the Jura Forest. Pleased to make your acquaintance.」

After finishing our introductions, we started our questioning.

Since our meeting lasted long into the night, I decided to stay in one of the Freedom Association's rooms.

P.S. Sadly, although I had plenty of money left and finally arrived at a human city, I couldn't venture into a new "frontier" for now.


Capítulo 55: Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken Chapter 54

Business ~ The Start of a Trade

The meeting continued until late last night.

It can't be helped since I arrived late.

Well, we were suppose to meet today, but apparently the noble wanted to meet me no matter what.

We exchanged information briefly during yesterday's meeting.

Mainly, I heard about the towns and countries of humans.

I also learned about the Free Association, they even said they would introduce me to their leader Yuki Kagurazaka at their headquarters.

However, something felt amiss.

I heard the freedom association's headquarters is located in the royal capital, but there're a lot of royal capitals.

There's the large neighboring Farmas Kingdom, and the terrifyingly strong neighboring kingdom of the Sorcery Dynasty of Sarion.

Even a small kingdom such as Brumund has a royal capital. In fact, we're in it right now.

So in which country is the Freedom Association Headquarters located in?

The clusters of countries around the Great Jura forest joined together and formed the council.

Therefore, the gathering of councilors must be in an easily accessible location, and its headquarters is now set in the Ingracia Kingdom.

In terms of strength, the one boasting the strongest power amongst those that joined the council is the Farmas Kingdom. But due to the developed transportation system in the ingracia Kingdom, it became the heart of all the kingdoms instead.

That's the most likely reason why the Farmas Kingdom and the Ingracia Kingdom are on bad terms.

However, there's also another reason why the Ingracia Kingdom was selected.

The Ingracia Kingdom is the only kingdom not directly next to the Great Jura forest. Therefore, it's less susceptible to monster attacks, granting it the blessing of being safe.

The Freedom Association's headquarters will be located in the country which is blessed with safety and has advanced transportation networks.

That much is obvious.

That means, when they said the royal Capital they were referring to the royal Capital of the Ingracia Kingdom.

Another feature of the countries within the council is that fact they're all countries that follow the Church.

In other words, the kingdoms surrounding the Great Jura Forest are within the Sphere of influence of the church.

Commerce and religion are the two main pillars that support the bonds between kingdoms.

Each country votes for a councilor, and all of the councilors embody equality due to their religion. I heard there's a system where important decisions are discussed and decided in the council.

Surprisingly, this system is quite similar to the United Nations from my previous life.

Councilor election methods differ from country to country, but the majority of the councilors elected are from the royal family.

By the way, the Sorcery Dynasty of Sarion doesn't have a national religion.

The king claims to be a descendant of god, and forbids all other religions. Thus, they were rejected from being a part of the council, making them a isolated superpower.

But I heard that they do have commercial relations with the other kingdom, most likely because it is a superpower.

Anyway.

I heard that the Freedom Association's headquarters is located in the center of the Ingracia Kingdom.

So if I want to meet Yuuki Kagurazaka I'll have to visit the Ingracia Kingdom.

Apparently, they were willing to write a letter, introducing me to him. But in exchange, I was told to meet Baron Beruyado, a noble of this nation.

Of course I agreed to the terms, and am currently riding towards my destination on a horse carriage with my current partner.

I parted with the three (idiots) last night.

「Please, let's keep in touch! 」

「As I thought, let's adventure together forever...」

「It sure will get lonely without you. Lets play together again in Tempest! 」

Saying these words, they departed unwillingly.

But, that's their own problem.

I, for one, don't feel anything at the moment.

Strangely, I don't feel lonely at all.

While I was thinking of such things, the carriage came to a halt.

It appears we have arrived.

.

It is a district lined with beautiful structures.

Feeling composed, Fuse guided me towards a building, slightly smaller compared to the others.

「By the way, is it fine that I don't know anything about the honorific etiquette and manners of nobility? 」

「Hm? Ah…. That's right, that's going to be troublesome...」

Is everything going to be alright?

About Fuse's old man, I heard he's going to be quite the handful.

Yesterday, Fuse asked about the current situation of the Great Jura Forest.

After that, he asked about Shizu's and whether do I know about Veldora.

When it came to Veldora, I played the fool and feigned ignorance.

As for the situation in the Great Jura Forest, I said our town was doing well in its own way while being as vague as possible.

Naturally, I was asked to explain my subjugation of the local monsters, in detail.

I understood that even they wanted to know the reason as to why there was so little damage caused by the monsters.

As for Shizu San's story, it was kind of hard to talk about it, much less explain it.

In the end, I stopped explaining when it reached a certain promise with Shizu san.

Fuze,

「I see... I'm counting on you」

After muttering that, nothing more was spoken.

Shizu San, renowned as the "Explosive Monarch, seemed to have been an A rank adventure that belonged to the headquarters.

At the headquarters, she worked hard as an instructor, but she probably realized that her death drew near. Refusing to be confined in the headquarters, she suddenly disappeared.

And that's how the story goes, but, thanks to her, I was able to make many new friends.

I trusted Fuze and came all this way, but is it really alright?

With all these etiquette and formality, this is going to be one troublesome talk.

While worrying about such things, I then entered the building.

After entering the building, an old man who introduced himself as the butler guided us.

Anyway, there are also maids here, which is always nice.

I remember going to maid cafes in my previous life.

Just sitting down cost thousands of Yen, it's a complete rip-off. This factor makes qualifying this as a good memory a problem.

However, this is a different world. A guy like me can see the difference in quality when compared to the genuine thing.

There are only fake old maids in real life!

Guided by the butler, we entered a room.

There're even more doors in the room.

The Butler knocked on one of the doors.

There was a reply,

「Enter! 」

Honestly, these kinds of exchanges are just annoying.

Going straight through a magic circle, the interior is completely different.

Once inside, a tall slim man who looked like he was very hardworking with a parsimonious beard and silted eyes, greeted me.

「You have arrived. My name is Baron Beloard, I am one of Brumund's ministers, pleased to be your acquaintance. 」

The other party has greeted me before I managed to give my greetings.

「Nice to meet you. My name is Rimuru Tempest.

I am a monster, but I wish to form amicable relations with humans.

I may be ignorant when it comes to manners and etiquette, but I hope you can overlook that. 」

I returned the greeting and shook hands with him.

This place's practices are quite similar to my previous life.

「Do be at ease. I am but a landless baron.

It's fine even without the formality.

Now then, the time we have isn't infinite. Let's talk briefly.

I'll get straight to the point. About your town, Tempest, I would like to form a cooperative relation with there.

We propose to cooperate to support adventurers on their adventure and assist them when they're having problems facing powerful monsters.

I only ask these 2 points of you. 」

Well well.

To summarize what he said, since Brumund is a small country without much national power, their counter-measures against monsters are insufficient.

They somehow cooperated with the Freedom Association, but the freedom association can't be their only means of defense against monsters.

Fortunately, there aren't any major damage caused by monsters to date, but in preparation for the future, they wished to form bilateral relations with Tempest.

Assistance for adventurers, that's a topic that Fuse touched upon yesterday.

He's probably thinking that in order for the adventurers to succeed, and to reduce the threat the forest poses, I'll need to provide necessities such as beds and supplies for those working in the forest.

However, his partner is a country of monsters, I wonder why did he approach and trusted us so easily?

That's something to worry about.

「Indeed…What benefits will I gain if I accept this? Rather than a collaborative relationship, don't you think this is only one-sided?"

Of course, we'll also try to guarantee certain benefits to there. We'll legitimize your identity as a nation.

In other words, you, and your country "Tempest", we promise to recognize it as a legitimate nation of monsters.

We have even obtained permission from the King of Brumund.

If your side cooperates with us, we'll recognize you guys as a nation, and promise decent correspondence. 」

In other words, we'll mutually stay vigilant about monsters and help each other in times of emergencies.

Either way, we're supposed to be on guard, but with this, we would not have to worry about Brumund.

We will notify and help each other when faced with assaults by powerful monsters.

I don't think there'll any problems.

If we accept this offer, we'll be recognized as a legitimate country, this doesn't seem like a bad deal.

Well, I'll admit it though, the council that was previously mentioned may not necessarily acknowledge this, as Brumund is the only country in the council that does.

Still, getting the approval of two countries, after the Dwarven kingdom is a major achievement.

「Very well, I will accept this offer. 」

After I said this, the atmosphere felt significantly less tense than before. I will probably have been cornered if it were to continue anyway.

「I see, that's great. Now then, this is the certificate of approval from the king of Brumund.

And this is proof that it is a legitimate document. 」

While saying this, he took out a stamp from his pocket.

The stamp emitted light in response to the spirit pledge magic, this shows that it is indeed a legitimate document from the king.

My skill 「Analyze」 also show the same results.

Unexpectedly, contractual relationship frauds can't be performed in this world. Compared to my previous life, such procedures are much more simplified.

This really helped me since I don't have to take my time to meet the king directly.

Besides, they probably aren't going to allow the king to meet a monster.

It also simplified the process in that aspect as well.

And with my signature on the treaty, the treaty between Brumund and Tempest has been established.

During this event, a third party bears witness that the transaction is carried out justly.

After that, we made a few arrangements, and conducted another meeting in going into details of the treaty.

And for the first time, I remembered about the flaws of the contracts in this world.

「So, in the event where we have to move a force through the forest, we'll be counting on your cooperation. 」

That's what he said.

A force. This isn't something related to monsters. Because we were to cooperate during emergencies, that also includes when the nation is being attacked.

For example, the eastern empire.

I were deceived! How dare you deceive me!

GUO————–!!! I wanted to faint in agony. Idiot Idiot Idiot Idiot Idiot. Stupid me!

I remembered that sweet talk.

If you think about it from Brumund's side, they now have a reason to get me to cooperate even without my consent.

Look at the trio (idiots), I can't even chase away adventurers.

If we were to get the country's approval, there's no need for that.

But there's a reason he daringly says that.

Brumund was really afraid that the eastern empire will invade through the forest.

In preparation for when that happens, they probably wanted me to become the buffer state.

Certainly, he didn't lie. If we're having problems, he'll also come help. After all, it's our turn next.

Even if the empire does ignore us, we're going to have to send in reinforcements from Brumund.

Anyway, we have been successfully deceived.

「You noticed? You are certainly quick. However, you have already signed the treaty, so when the time comes, we're counting on you! 」

With a grin, I was laughed at with a beaming smile.

Baron Beloard.

A man who handles work very well.

That sly old dog of a noble, tricking people like me is probably like taking candy from a baby.

Tsk. It can't be helped, I'll let it slip for now…

Strangely, I don't feel angry even after I've been deceived.

Apart from the shallow feeling of regret, I feel like praising the adversary. Ah~ I've been had! Kind of moment.

Well, this is also a form of experience. I'll think about it when the empire does move.

And again, you can't let your guard down around humans.

Monsters are unexpectedly straightforward.

I made a vow in my heart that from now own, when negotiating with humans, I'll have to think more deeply before making any decisions.

.

It's not fun to be deceived.

Even after all the trouble, I still benefited from the experience.

I took out a medium healing potion, and placed it on the table.

「This is? 」

Baron Beloard questioned,

「It's a recovery potion made in my town. I wanted to sell it in the local markets. 」

I answered.

Fuse and Beloard held the potion in their hand and examined at it.

Fuse can definitely perform analytical magic.

「What is this! T-this isn't some cheap stuff sold in the town. U—mu, this is a high class goods similar to those sold in the royal Capital. The Pharmas Kingdom taxes it when they distribute it, but it doesn't come into these markets… just how many do you have? 」

I told them that I currently have 500.

If they're willing to buy on a regular basis, I can probably supply them 2000~3000 monthly if I take it out of the storage.

In this country, adventures are at the front lines, and there's a demand for the potions.

There's a branch of the Freedom Association at the Pharmas kingdom, but adventurers that affiliated with them are few.

There are several reasons, the biggest reason being that there's a trend of looking down upon adventurers.

However, it's also a fact that adventurers tend to be generous with their money. And, they also help thin the number of demons.

Due to this reason, there have been recent desperate attempts of trying to attract adventurers, but there aren't any results to show.

That's why, goods like high quality recovery potions are vital, luring adventurers while imposing high taxes on dwarf-made weapons? I've thought about it this much.

If it's armor, a bit of adjustment is all it needs.

We might even be able to sell off the gear of monsters.

If that's the case, people will be eager to buy it.

At the very least, if I sell a product I will be able to attain some profit.

Hopefully, I will be able to make up for my previous blunder.

We were introduced to the merchant Garde-Myourmiles.

I left the office of Baron Beloard, and proceeded to visit the merchant Garde-Myourmiles.

At the corner of the shopping street, there was a large store called the Miles Firm.

The chairman of the shopping street seems to be the owner of the store.

He has joined the Freedom Association Merchant Guild, but is a formal Brumund merchant with the country's permission.

It's quite rare for a person to have the license of both the country and the Freedom Association.

I was told that Garde-Myourmiles was one of the rare individuals.

「Weeeeelco…?! Ahem, Welcome, please come here Danna, what kind of order do you have today? 」

I came with Fuse today, and I replied with a humble bow.

When you think about it, this old man Fuse is also an authoritative figure in this kingdom.

「Today I came to introduce this person. Show Respect! I must return since I still have some errands, please excuse my rudeness. 」

「This person, what kind of person is it? 」

「In short, a state guest. I'm leaving it to you! 」

Saying these parting words, fuse left.

I've been left behind after being referred to as a state guest. How should I act if I got lost?

Well, it's fine I guess.

「My name is Rimuru, please take care of me! I came to make a business transaction, and my product is this. 」

Thus we started negotiating.

As expected of the merchant Myourmiles. He quickly appraised the good to ascertain its value.

Negotiations began.

...…

...

At the end, I decided to sell them here, it was decided that the price will be 22 sliver coins each.

And the retail price set here was 25 silver coins.

After telling him the location of our town, he plans to go stock up.

If Myourmiles is going to buy more, then the selling price at tempest is 20 silver coins.

In addition, due to the matter of assisting adventurers, it was decided that the selling price to adventurers at tempest will also be 22 silver coins.

In this fashion, we shook hands with each other, and signed the contract.

This time without any fine prints, we were able to form a satisfactory agreement with each other.

「But Danna, I can't use a horse-drawn carriage to arrive at Danna's town. If it's restocking on recovery potions, I can manage it somehow, but it's going to be rather inconvenient…」

Of course that's something we must discuss.

It would have been nice if I established a highway.

「I understand. Then I'll build a highway that connects Tempest to Burmund. 」

「Eh? NANI?! 」

「You'll be able to use a carriage if I made a road right?

I think it'll take two months for a horse carriage to finish the journey. If we cut down some trees we'll be able to make a direct path.

Although, I think it's going to take six months to finish. Is that fine? 」

「Of course! I also want to see the 500 you're selling too!」

Myourmiles answered while smiling Ear-to-ear whilst rubbing his hands together.

The highway towards the dwarf kingdom is complete. Now, we'll move on and establish a highway that connects towards Brumund.

This way, trade between Tempest and Brumund has supposedly started.

When the highway that connects Tempest and Brumund is competed, the merchants of Brumund will have no need to go through the Farmas Kingdom to reach the Dwarf Kingdom.

And thus, tempest is becoming the new center of trade routes.
