"Hah ... hah ..."
Lizrina is taking a deep breath with tears in her eyes.
"Mr. Liz Lina, are you okay?"
"Mmm, I can't. I'm tired ... I'm ..."
It 's dangerous! I may have decided a terrible fine.
"You have decided a terrible fine."
When I looked at Mr. Guell, my face was drawn for some reason.
"I will never say it. I don't like that."
Murina tells me with a disgusting face.
"I won't say that either."
Keith says with a more disgusting face than Murina.
"Poo! ... Oh, me too. Kuku !?"
Only Aid looks at Lizrina's face and laughs and says.
Mr. Aid. That's a little terrible.
"That's what I wrote ... I'm sorry everyone. I didn't think this would happen."
The Duke of Baldeck begins to bow his head towards everyone.
"That's not the fault of the Duke of Baldeck."
Keith. Don't say that. I feel guilty.
"There is something wrong with us who accepted the penalties decided by Mr. Elleina."
"Um, um ... I see. I understand."
She says to Keith with a stern look.
"... I'm sorry. It's because I decided such a fine without thinking."
I should have thought a little more and made another penalty.
"Don't worry, Elleina. Nobody just expected this to happen."
"Mr. Lamure ..."
I'm sorry to think that Mr. Lamure is a cold-blooded person.
"However, I found that this fine can be used, so I will use it in the future."
I take it back! This person is a terrible person! !! I can't say anything about people either! !!
"Ellina for the time being"
"Yes, what is it?"
"I've brought the reward for the last orc subjugation, so I'll receive it."
Lamure says that he will give him three gold coins and eight silver coins and he will receive them.
"Thank you"
"And the oak you defeated turned out to be a special individual."
"Special individual?"
Does it mean a special individual, that is, an individual born by chance, or a new species?
"But it's not an unidentified individual. That type of oak is he calls black oak."
"Black oak?"
"Yes, it's several times stronger than a normal orc, but it's an orc with a probability of 1 in 500 being born from a normal individual. But ..."
"But??"
"There are a lot of five bodies in the stone. Maybe there was a new dungeon around that area, and that orc came out of it. You should investigate that grassland. And Aid."
Lamure shifts his gaze from me to Aid instructor.
"Yes!"
"Who received the quest to transport luggage to the weapons store, tool store, and company?"
"It's published by the commercial and adventure departments, but no one tries to take the quest."
"······Just as I thought"
After hearing the story of Instructor Aid, Lamure unfortunately drops his shoulders.
Do you want to ask me a little here?
"Mr. Lamure, what happened when you dropped your shoulders?"
"Hmm? Oh, actually. I got my luggage here from the continent of Barbles, but no one gets the quest to give it to the recipient."
There are luggage transportation quests in the adventure department and the commercial department, and the amount varies greatly depending on the distance, the type of item, and the degree of danger along the way.
"Is it because only high-ranked people can receive it?"
No one receives the quest. It seems that this is often the case.
"No, the risk is low because it is delivered in the royal capital even if it is E rank."
It can be received even at E rank, and the destination is nearby. In that case, it would be great for the adventure department to earn points, but why doesn't anyone receive it?
"That's the cause. Black oak and reports and zombie hordes in the grasslands flooded the commercial department with escort requests, which caused escort fees to swell three to five times as much as usual. It has been done.
Along with that, most adventurers are going to get escort requests for gold. "
I see, do commercial people hire good adventurers, or gather a lot of people to go through the meadows? The two methods are probably trying to safely pass through the grasslands around the royal capital, which may still be dangerous.
If you spend a little more money than other merchants to protect your own safety, will you accept the request? I wonder if this happened if we were talking about securing human resources in the form of
"Oh, was that the reason why the escort mission around the royal capital was more expensive than usual?"
"That's right. Chairman Baldeck."
Upon hearing that, Duke Baldeck makes a wrinkle between his eyebrows and puts his hand on his head and begins to worry.
"It can't be helped. There is no choice but to deliver it by the staff. Let someone prepare a carriage ..."
"Chairman Baldeck"
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
"All the rental carriages in the guild have been paid out and cannot be prepared."
What! ?? Are all the rental carriages paid out? Of the ten rental carriages that were in Gozes, are all the ones that can only be rented about two?
"······Just as I thought"
"After all, did you expect the carriage to be out?"
If the Duke of Baldeck says so, is there a clause that comes to mind?
"Oh, that's right, Elleina. This also includes the escort request I mentioned earlier."
"Really?"
Rental carriages and escort missions, hmm ... I can't connect anything.
When I think so, Mr. Lamure talks.
"I sent three rental carriages to the grassland to dispose of the zombie corpses. I left the remaining twelve in the guild ... Did the commercial department use them?"
"Yes, Lamure Guild Chief. I rented all the remaining rental carriages for the commercial departments to carry the magic stones that can be taken from the zombies and to use them for escort adventures, and the carriages remain. not here"
"It takes time to bring it by the staff. No, I can't get the personnel to deliver the luggage from the general guild before that. Hmm ... It's a blockade in all directions."
"That's true ... I'm worried because the client has told me that these three cases have been done by today."
The Duke of Baldeck looks up, rubbing his beard, Lamure drops his shoulders with his arms folded, and Aid instructor picks his temples and begins to worry.
"Duke, can we not deliver the baggage?"
Upon hearing Guell's suggestion, Duke Baldeck shook his head and Instructor Aid began to explain why.
"Captain Guell, I want you to do that in the mountains, but that could upset the discipline of the general guild, so I'll just accept Captain Guell's feelings."
"Well ... I'm sorry I couldn't help."
While Guell and Aid are having a conversation, Keith raises his hand lightly and speaks to Aid instructor.
"Oh, I have one suggestion, can you ask me?"
"Suggestion? Keith, talk."
"Yes, I have to get confirmation first. Mr. Elleina."
"Eh? Ah, yes"
What the hell does Keith ask me?
"What will you do after this?"
"Eh !? Um ... The promotion exam has been postponed for the time being, so I'm thinking of taking a quest that can be done around the royal capital ..."
"Yeah, I see ... Lamure. Aid. Let's leave her the transport quest."
Nanu! ?? Leave it to me! !!
"Oh, I see! El-chan has a lot of item boxes, so you can do a transportation quest!"
Oops! ?? Liz Lina, who had been resurrected before I knew it, came in to talk! !!
"I see. But the amount is so large that it may not fit in the item box, right?"
"Are you sure? Please show me the document."
"Hmm, see"
When Lamure replies, she gives Keith the documents she has.
"... I see, do you just go around three shops? If you complete the quests one by one, it will end at noon."
"Oh, that's right! El-chan's item box is full, so you can put it on it!"
"Mr. Lizrina. What was that?"
"Look! I got on when I came to the royal capital. An early iron carriage!"
Ah, is Lizrina talking about Humvee?
"I can certainly carry my luggage, but ... hmm."
If you run with Humvee in the city, strange people may come to me and try to take it, so I don't want to use it in the city as much as possible.
"She should ask her to read the contents of her paperwork before making a decision. Yes, Elleina."
"Oh, yes"
Keith will give you the documents, so I will pick them up and start reading.
Um. A total of three quests: a quest to deliver 50 kg of tea leaves to a tool shop, a quest to deliver 50 kg of iron ore to a weapon shop, and finally a quest to deliver six magic tools and four ordinary furniture, a total of ten items to the company. It's a job to go around the eaves.
It's going to be a transportation quest that would force a lot of hard work if an ordinary person receives it, but it's quite so for me.
"Yeah, that's pretty much it."
"What? Is that true !?"
Lamure says with her eyes wide open.
"Yes, I can do it, so I will take these three quests."
"... I understand. Let's go through the procedure here for the time being."
Lamure says that he puts three contracts on his desk and brings a quill and a bottle of ink in front of me.
"I will check the contents for the time being"
"I do not care"
I read the contract and check it just in case.
・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ Yeah, there seems to be no flaws.
After confirmation, hold the quill in your hand and write your name on the three contracts.
"Yes, I was able to write."
When I handed the documents to Mr. Lamure while saying so, Mr. Lamure who received it turned to me when he confirmed my signature.
"Okay, I'll show you to the place where the requested item is placed, so please follow me."
"Yes, I understand"
"wait a moment!"
For some reason, the Duke of Baldeck stops the place where he stood up.
"Hmm?"
While saying that, when I looked at the face of Duke Baldeck, I was staring at me with a serious look.
"What is it?"
"Elraina. Thanks to you, the royal capital was saved."
"... yes"
"Thank you on behalf of those who are here. Thank you Elleina."
Thank you ... I was thankful! ?? Moreover, on behalf of everyone in this place ...
"Wow ... Wow Wow Wow Wow Wow Wow Wow Wow!"
"Now, Elleina. Don't be shy, go to the quest (bang !?) ... Huh?"
"Kyuuuuuuu ~~~~~~ !?"
She fell into place, turning her eyes and making her face bright red.
"D, El-chan? Firmly El-chan !? Wake up yeah yeah yeah yeah !!"
Liz Lina tries to shake Elleina's body in a hurry, but she doesn't seem to wake up at all with her eyes turned.
"... Chairman Baldeck. That's an overstatement."
"······e?"
The Duke of Baldeck turned his face to Aid and stared at him.
"If you just say thank you, it shouldn't have happened."
"Uh !? That might be true. But ..."
"However?"
"Really Elleina is shy."
"That's true. What can I do?"
"Hmm ... Why is it so severe in the first place?"
"That's right. I think it's because of the environment in which I grew up ..."
"Both of you are good at that, so please help me wake up El-chan !!"
When they hear Lizrina's words, they stop thinking.
"That's right. Isn't it better to put Elleina on the sofa first?"
"That's exactly what Aid says. She lifts it up with Aid and Guell and puts it on the sofa."
"I understand"
"I understand the chairman"
"Huh, I'll help you too."
While the Duke of Baldeck are in the mood for Elleina, one person who sees everyone in front of the door says:
"... I can use this too. Let's remember."
Those who heard Lamure's words now thought in their hearts.
Isn't this person a devil? When.
