My job is to investigate other worlds!　~ A dull ex-salesman, but easily liked by girls of different

House of the Mayor

The turtle became lunch, but then. The window flower's mood deteriorated rapidly.

Us first. We used a Type 06 rifle and a 14.5mm armor-piercing grenade, which were unexpectedly used. He was annoyed that we had wasted each one.

These are valuable items that can only be replenished by Goddess-sama supply. But since it was an emergency situation, the window flower can't be blamed explicitly either.

As a result, there is a distant tingle, tingle. Sighs, lamentations, grief. We're slowly being sapped of our mental strength.

But He is most irritated about the village's rewards, so we're done.

* Window flower assesses the reward.

The reward explained by the village and the quality of the quality expected by the window flowers. The fact that the quality of the reward was very different from the one the village expected was the beginning of this tragedy.......

The assessment of window flowers is so severe that I suspect it's already an eight-way street. Crystals are also relentlessly examined for quality and rejected repeatedly.

The situation is getting worse and worse, and it's hard to watch. Window flowers are [not rewarded enough! And blame the village chief. Next, [I'll have a replacement ready immediately! and make the children go to the riverbank to collect shells.

To repay the favor, the children work hard to collect the beautiful seashells. Then, as they bring them in, the window flower takes them up and throws them into the kiln to reduce the shells to ashes. The children cry when they see this, and are ordered to go back to get the shells.

In case you're wondering, the ashes of the shells were collected, so it seems like a necessary thing to do. The shell ashes are used to make an alkaline solution. But the local kids don't understand, do they?

At least explain your purpose.

Then praise them.

Finally, it's starting to look like the kids are stacking stones on the rolls. And the window flowers look like the stacked stone towers and the demons playing the role of the crumbling demons....

I can't take this anymore!

This is borderline abuse!

I'm scared, but I'm warning you!

''Hey window flower, just in case the quality of the promised crystal is a little different than expected, it's not the villagers' fault, right?　And I know I need the shell ashes. But you need to thank the kids and explain to them that they needed the ashes. Look at all those kids crying as they head to the riverbank?　Are the window flowers okay?

But even more than that, Window Flower's annoyance was so bad that she fought back.

''That's not at all what the story is about, the quality is too bad!　This is nothing less than a scam!　I don't know how badly I've been craving a practical, locally produced fuse, but now it's a fuse type, mostly for fixed targets. It would be practical if we could convert locally produced rifle ammunition into crystal impact fuses!

But I don't think the villagers would know the difference in crystal quality, would they?

I managed to defend myself, but it didn't reach the window flower's ears at all.

''The mechanical fuses that can be produced are heavy and bulky and lack the amount of explosives. And after all, crystal is the salt of industry... Ryouta-sama?　You don't think it's possible for you to be involved in electronics and not understand the importance of crystals, do you?

Hee!　It's spreading over here!

Do they have a crystal in the company?

I don't remember seeing it, okay?

Well, well, it's important, but you've got to admit, even if you're lying, at least a little bit, the villagers don't know how important the crystal is. Besides, a few words from the kids and they'll stop crying, right?

Not only that, but the quality of the coal is terrible too!　It is true that anthracite does not take out much phenol. But even with that, there are too many impurities!　It's so much more than anthracite, it's more aptly called hypersmoke coal!

Oh, my God!

He could have gone to his death.

Midea, this is Ryota!

We need backup firepower ASAP!

But Midea turned her eyes away.

So, right - Yes, this was my mistake for jumping into the dead ground myself.

''Ah!　What's that?　I heard you can get lead and zinc and stuff like that too?

'That one, that was better than I expected. We've also melted down the brass casings and reclaimed them, but they don't have a 100% yield... We've gotten the copper out of the armor, and I think we can recover some zinc. And a lot of unregulated bismuth, that's going to work.

Hmm?　Do you think it's a little less deadly?　Could it be that the flow will change?　I know zinc and copper are brass materials, but is bismuth a metal?　I think the fishing weight was a bismuth. Please let it be a good one!

"Lead is restricted for use by the Goddess, but not by Bismuth. It's not as good as lead, but it has a much higher specific gravity than iron, making it a better material for bullets, and 7.62mm bullets also save lead for sniper rifles only.

Oh?

Is it a heavy metal with a specific gravity similar to lead?

If there are no restrictions, then the toxicity must be low.

"Ares is very similar to Earth's West, but the distribution of underground resources may be different from Earth's. I'd love to see if there are any areas where lead is being smelted. If there is a place where lead is being refined, I would like to see if it is included in the waste from refining (slag). Unfortunately, we cannot process tungsten even if it is present.

It's finally over.

We're finally getting out of the village.

You can't force yourself to narrow down what you don't have, it's a waste of effort. It's a waste of time and effort. I was able to convince him to look elsewhere. I think I did a great job...

I'll tell the baron what he's doing when we reach the city. The turtle can do what he wants with his meat and I'll share the other ingredients with him. So no more bandits, okay?

I felt sorry for the kids with the shells... so I gave them a chocolate bar with a thank you note to the kids.

The shells were divided in a way that didn't diminish in value, and they provided me with a total of 8 pieces of shells, divided into 4 top and bottom. They must have done their best to divide it with the lent thread saw. It was tied to the roof of the armored car and packed up.

The main gun's swivel is limited, but it's not likely to work anyway, so it's not a problem. I finished loading the scraps of carapace that might be valuable.

Exterminator-sama. You've done a great job. For your protection against this terrible entity we are all in tears of gratitude!　This ring is the treasure of the village where the guardian spirit is said to reside, so please take it. All the people in the village told me that you, who are possessed by a horrible spirit, are the one who needs it.

A human who isn't a fairy species has given an opinion to a spirit window flower.......

As a result, the villagers treated me like I was obsessed. The ring doesn't look particularly expensive, and I decided to take it, thinking it was better to receive it gratefully than to refuse it.

However, I squeezed as much as I could, so the genie is completely considered a scary thing. The only one to see them off was the village chief, the rest of the villagers were quite far away...

...for now, let's get back on the streets!　Let's go!
