My First Trip was to Another World

The task entrusted to me by the King was successfully completed.If Gilbert and the others don't make it along the way, the mission will be completed.I don't think they're going to make such a mess, so it's as good as done.

Well, I don't think the Counts will have the strength to escape.

The final reward from the King will bring this mission to an end.Then you can claim the necessary expenses, so it will be quite a deposit.

And then there's the huge amount of Milgian gold left on hand...

In the meantime, what should I do with this?

At the usual table, I asked everyone.Then Luna returns the question.

"You didn't buy anything?"

Normally, I'm just buying some kind of deal.Salt is the easiest thing to understand, and other materials such as leather, which are only available in Milgia, can also be sold at a high price. But...

"I don't know where and how that city can be scammed.I can't go shopping lightly. "

That city is rife with fraud, botcrackers, and bad business laws.I think it takes a lot of experience to do decent shopping.

Donkey might be trustworthy, but I don't know what he's dealing with.I didn't know much about the deal with Alencia, so I wouldn't be able to do it without knowing it myself.

"That's right...."

Let's exchange it for Alencia gold coins.

Claire's proposal was rejected immediately.

"I hate it because I'm losing a lot."

If you exchange Milgian gold for Alessian gold, a huge fee will be charged.Therefore, the exchange is bad. Use Milgian gold coins as-is in Alencia, declined for similar reasons.It is a transaction at an expected amount of fees.

Well, why don't you go shopping in a safe city in Milgia?

"That's all, but I don't have any business going to Milgia right now, so it's been salted for a while."

Salted, in short, left unattended. Because I'm not in trouble with money, it's more efficient to acquire product knowledge and then go shopping.Look for products that seem to have a high profit margin for a while.You're acting like a merchant...

Anyway, for now, let's focus on gathering information.

We put the use of Milgian gold on hold and decided to claim the reward for this request.Heading to the usual room in the royal castle.

Turning to the usual room, the king was on a large sofa.

"Hello."

and raised his right hand to greet him, and the king greeted him in a calm manner.

"Mm-hmm. I've been waiting. Looks like you got him."

You're used to a sudden visit.

"Oh, I'm sure Gilbert told me the details, but I've done my job.Any questions? "

"I don't know what the problem is... why was he so worn out?Why did you resist so hard? "

It appears that the Counts were handed over to the royal castle in a state of imminent death.Well, it's not impossible to be torn apart if you've been pulled along the way.Why did Gilbert and the others do that?

"... is it because of Captain Glad?"

"Hmm... if that's the case, it's fine."

I don't know what is fine, but if you are satisfied, there is no problem.

"Well, thank you for your reward. It's a lot of expense, so I'm going to charge you for it."

It seems that there is no culture of receipts in this world, so expenses are left to self-declaration.Probably won't find out some lies.But I don't feel good about being found out, so I'll be honest with you.I gave the King a piece of paper with a note of my expenses.

Then the king will have his face clouded.

"... isn't it too expensive?"

That's the city of Bottacli. It's a stupider expense than normal.I declare it honestly, but the King seems to suspect me.

"That's the way it is.If you're thinking about staying in a decent place, it'll be that much. "

It was the king who ordered me to take the inn and wait.I won't complain. Pay the full amount.

"If it is... then there is no choice."

The king was reluctantly convinced and summoned his close associates to hand over my notes.Expenses seem to have been approved.

We still have a little time before the expense is paid.I will gather information about the product in the meantime.The king is at the top of the country, so he should be sensitive to the scarcity of supplies.

"Hey, aren't you missing something in Alencia?"

Not enough?

The king sounds suspicious.

"I want to run out of my Milgian gold coins.If there's anything missing in Alencia, I'll buy it in Milgia. "

"I see... food is richer in our country, and steel making technology is better in our country.I went out of my way to buy it from Millgia... salt or liquor. "

"Alcohol? You make Alencia, don't you?"

"Mm-hmm. Basically, it's enough in my country.However, there are alcoholic beverages that cannot be made in Japan.The liquor seems to be popular in Ichii. "

We all didn't drink, so the point of view was completely out.When it comes to alcohol, it is divided into a huge number of different types of ingredients and manufacturing methods.It is impossible to make alcohol in Alencia because it has a national character.

"What kind of liquor?"

"The alcohol is strong, but it is less rusty, and it is delicious whether it is broken with water or fruit juice.It seems that it can only be made in arid zones, and the main region is eastern Milgia.Alcohol and whiskey are dominant in Alencia, but they both taste different. "

That's a lot of rap... Well, isn't that what you want to drink?

Well, the profit margin doesn't look bad.Nevertheless, I don't know anything about alcohol at all.It's a little hard.

"If I bought it, where would I sell it?Unfortunately, the liquor store doesn't have any luck.I don't know where the deal is. "

"No problem, I'll buy it all at the royal castle"

The king says in a strong tone.I definitely just want to drink it.

"Okay, I'll check it out.By the way, how much will you buy me? "

"I promise you at least 86 gold pieces per barrel."

I asked, but I don't know the price at all.Even if I buy alcohol, I think I need to study a little.It would be best to go to the place of origin.I wonder if I'm going to go to Milgia again...

While we were talking, the king's close associate came with the money.Pay your usual reward and only receive expenses.

Incidentally, receivables for the royal castle are to be received over several years.It feels like I could deposit it in a bank.Taxes are also deducted on their own, so it's easy for me.

The next move is decided.I bought alcohol in Milgia.However, it seems that the king only heard rumors, and he did not know the appearance or the name.I don't know anything specific.At times like this, I just ask the guy I think I know.

"Hey, Irvin, do you know anything about alcohol?"

At the end of dinner, I asked Irving.

"What? Suddenly, you're not old enough to drink yet?"

"No, I thought you might have had one."

Irvin is a reincarnated former Apostle, and he once went through adulthood.Well, there's no age limit for drinking in this world, so it doesn't matter how old you are.

"Well, yes... I guess I don't like it very much.My throat is going to burn and I don't feel sick the next day.I don't have a very good impression. "

Looks like you've done something in the past and become a little traumatized.If you don't like it, you won't be able to expect more information.

"Oh, I've heard rumors that Milgian liquor is expensive to sell, but I thought you might know something.If you're not familiar with it, it's fine. "

"Ah, is that so? Then the collar next to my parents' house is made.Maybe that's what this is about. "

Irvin answered with a pretense that reminded him.

"Hmm? Is there no other kind?"

"Yes, but it's like making alcohol in any country.If you can only make it in Milgia, I think it means that it's a dragon tongue. "

Dragontongue...? That's a pretty exaggerated name.

According to Irvin, the mainstream in Milgia is also like a Yale.The tequila is expensive due to low production and is not so widely available in Milgia.

"There are other alcoholic beverages going around the public tavern... but I don't think that's what this is about."

"How can you say that?"

"Because it is a suspicious alcohol of unknown ingredients.The mystery of where and how they are made.But it's so cheap that I can't drink it because I'm scared. "

Scary! What are you selling?A mysterious liquid that gets drunk when you drink... something like alcohol.I'm not necessarily drunk with alcohol.

"I see. All right, I need you to show me around this time."

"Eh...? Again?"

Irving blurred his face in disgust.

"Neighborhood, please."

"I'm sorry, but I can't this time. That collar was a powerful place for the church.Somewhat better, but I don't think there will be any problems. "

I took Irvin because he was being chased by the church.It may be awkward to bring Irving closer to the church.

"I see... I can't help it. I'll find it myself."

Let's see what happens to the church.I've heard rumors that the church is rattling, but I haven't checked the facts.

I can go alone, but it seems like it would take a little trouble.Should I look for it in Mankai Tactics?Let's find someone to hope for.

"People who want to go!"

Yes!

Leeds raised his hand first.Then Luna opens her mouth with an apology.

"I'm sorry... I'm in a bit of a hurry..."

"Me, too. We're working with Luna, so we can't leave."

Luna and Lily seem busy.I wonder what about Leeds, who is making magic equipment with his team.Aren't you busy?

"Is Leeds okay?"

"Ah, the Magic Academy asked me to create some materials.It's my job and Luna's to understand the magic temple. "

It seems that Luna and Lily have received a request from the Magic Institute, the ancient nest.Something like that has been happening to me lately.

"Are we negotiating compensation properly?"

"Naturally, you're getting a bigger reward than you used to get when you worked at the Magic Institute.I should have quit sooner. "

Lily says very well.It's higher than the monthly salary. Maybe they have skills.That's right, people with jobs in their hands are strong.

"I don't always have a job. Just now."

Luna tells her to embarrass Lily.I'm sure you're right.Even the Magic Academy won't keep asking for much higher rewards.If I could just go around the Magic Institute, I would have less work to do with Mr. Lunatori.

"Luna and Lily aren't going.What about Claire? "

"I'm going too. My uncles have been looking for this liquor for a long time."

Uncle Raymond.Looks like he likes alcohol. But he must have been a high-ranking adventurer.

"I thought you were looking for it yourself."

"Milgia is a city restricted by people, right?That's why they often don't let me in because they look so suspicious. "

For the adventurers of Alencia, milgia is quite a disadvantage.Some cities require bribes, while others refuse foreigners.In the meantime, it seems that there is a city that refuses just by appearance.

... Raymond's appearance is obviously suspicious, so I can't blame the doorman for paying in advance.I do my duty faithfully.

"Ok, let's buy a lot and sell it at a high price."

"Fufufu, I think my uncle would buy it for a price.Please soften your hands. "

It is a majestic Botakli declaration.Well, I'm not going to give you an obvious price for botrytis.This time the product cannot be consumed by ourselves, so if we have the inventory, we will lose the whole thing.I would be very grateful if you could increase the number of potential sellers in one place.

That's why we're traveling with Leeds and Claire.The only worry is that we all know nothing about alcohol.I don't know whether the taste is good or bad.

I wish I had one drink that I could trust.I can even think of asking Bonanza, but it would be troublesome to say "Take me with you"...Well, can I just buy a little this time and see how it goes?Let the king decide.
