Dungeon Master Makeup Money

The next day, William goes out to find out why he's on the market more than he needs groceries.

Other members of the Alcaine Chamber of Commerce are acting alone to rent a building that can be used as a store.

The squire's job is business, but William's job is to learn know-how in legend.

I would have liked to learn a lot from the side with the help of a commercial union, but I can't do that anymore.

"Are you sure it was just us?

"Bringing more escorts than you need just makes it harder to move around the city. If we're just gonna protect one person, a couple of them will be enough."

Melissa and I are the only ones on William's escort.

You can't let Melissa, the wizard, fight flashy, so if it turns out like she's actually going to get attacked, I'll have to fight.

Enter a dry goods store close to the inn.

It was also sold there for a price that was lower than the market.

"The reason we're having a price collapse is simple."

I want to sell it because I have more inventory than demand.

But people don't want that much either, so if they sell it on the market, they can't sell it.

So I try to sell it cheaper than the market.

That keeps getting cheaper because of what's going on.

"Uh-huh. Wouldn't that be a good story if we didn't have inventory?

Hold your head as you hear an explanation from William.

Inventory that won't be gone forever. They sell it until it's cheaper, so it should be okay to consume the stock at all times.

"There's a vicious circle going on there for a reason. That's why we have to find out."

There are more things to look into than that.

Regarding the goods handled in the Regulus commercial country.

That's what I'm visiting to find out.

Take the flour solid-cooked sweets to the counter. I had watched tourists buy it from earlier, but it was familiar as a souvenir with treats made in the kitchen nearby.

This was also the price of one piece of copper coin for one piece that was laborious to process. It was only a matter of time before it became one copper coin in multiple pieces if it continued like this.

"I'll take this."

Ten sweets.

Remove ten pieces of copper coin.

"Hey, it's one silver coin at a time"

"... that's crazy"

One silver coin = 100 copper coins.

For some reason, the price had multiplied tenfold.

"Are you crazy? That's the right price."

"That can't be right!

Don, and slap the counter.

Nevertheless, the shopkeeper's words are not wrong either.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not wrong. We've got the ingredients to taste, and we're making them over time. I'll pay you as much as this."

"That was before the price collapsed."

There is no reason why raw materials can be sold at the same price as usual in a situation where they are causing price collapse.

The people who bought sweets while they were currently looking at the product bought them with one piece of copper coin.

It's not right for us to sell it at the usual price. If you do that, you will lose credibility if the price is set by the customer.

"I'm sorry, but I have it in the back, so if you're not going to buy it, will you please leave?"

"Knock..."

I leave the store biting my lips into a licked attitude.

After that we will go around a few houses, but every store tries to sell to William only at the same price as usual.

And the seventh...

"How can you not sell me!?

"That's why I'm saying we only sell for the price we offer!

William hung up on me for selling special tea leaves flowing from Estore Shrine only at the usual price.

"I'm sorry, but we have a situation here, so why don't you go home?"

"... you were the worst merchants to change prices depending on your customers"

"... yes, I am"

Store owner affirming William's words.

But as far as the regrettable look goes, the store owner also seems to have some kind of situation.

But William, angry and bloody on his head, doesn't even notice the owner's attitude.

"I'm persistent!

A woman with a bucket of water comes out of the back of the store.

The mouth of the bucket is directed towards William.

- Bashar!

The water is released towards William.

The dirt wall that emerges from the ground most before it hits William plays the water. You have to do this as an escort.

"Hey......!

The owner is in a panic.

Bounced water is descending on the product.

"We chose our guests, and we tried to get rid of them by watering them down, so the punishment went down."

Eliminate dirt walls without deteriorating.

In fact, the product would not have gotten wet if it hadn't come over with water.

Unfortunately, the product was tea leaves. I can't possibly sell the tea leaves that got wet, so I just have to dispose of them. I guess the fact that they were experiencing the most price depreciation means that tea leaves also have a lot of stock in the back of the store.

There is no significant damage to the store where the product that caused the price collapse has been damaged.

Let's go, William.

"... right"

Take William out of the store.

After that, continue shopping with adulthood.

But every store only sells it for the usual price.

There is no reason to complain out loud because it is a fair price.

Melissa and I didn't really care, but I went into the store, a tired look that seemed to me to have enjoyed William's continued legitimate business as a merchant.

"There you are."

The store is the first one that came in yesterday.

"You."

The woman at the store came looking at me with her eyes narrowed.

Its eyes were filled with feelings similar to those of hostility, but at the same time with feelings like seeing pathetic objects.

"I'm sorry. I don't suppose there was anything else in the store that would sell me to see how tired I was."

"Yep..."

"Because I care about myself, including the eagle."

A woman came to serve tea.

It's a calm, scented tea unlike anything I usually drink.

"Can I have it?

"The only thing the eagles are saying is," Sell at the usual price. "I was never told to treat you in a bad way."

I'll try the tea I got.

The warmth of the tea and at the same time the care of the woman seems to stain the body.

I've learned something from this conversation.

"It's someone's order not to sell me at a crumbling price," he said.

"Ah..."

A woman is hacked into William's allegations.

"Moreover, many shops as well as one are ordered to adopt such an attitude. If every store in the neighborhood imitates a price for a particular customer, it won't be the only situation where someone complains. I can only think of one person who can do that."

I know what I'm doing.

It was the commercial union that gave the order.

I remember being explained that shops in Legends would be able to do business by registering with a commercial union.

If you do business without registering, you will be punished for illegal shopping. I will not subscribe unless I am a merchant who intends to do business based in Legends because registration will require a registration fee.

Just because you joined doesn't mean you have disadvantages.

I said I need to register for smooth business only.

The woman in the fruit shop in front of her was also explained that way.

In practice, however, we must listen to orders from the Union. If you ignore the order, you will be driven to a situation as close to persecution as William is currently subjected to as a heavy penalty.

Then there's no way you can do business or anything like that.

I would like to leave if I knew it was in that state, but when I leave, I am asked to pay a large sum of money, and even after I leave, there are rumors that I am not a merchant. That makes it impossible to do business, at least in the vicinity of the Regulus commercial country.

Do you know that much?

"You can't disobey them in a commercial union."

As a merchant you will die the moment you disobey.

"Apparently, I couldn't really forgive you for not paying my payment."

"I see. You refused."

William drinks up his tea.

Even this act of serving tea should be difficult for the people in the commercial union to forgive.

"It was delicious. I'd like to brag a little bit about the city before I think about the future."

"Right."

I can't even buy things anymore.

I don't have a problem with my life for a while because I have a toolbox, but I'm no longer in a situation where I can study.

"... hmm?

I hear dozens of carriages running as I walk silently to those with gates.
