I came to the guild because Mr. Gilmouth called me, but I was apologized for the moment I entered the room.
Probably about the payment.
āGive me that face. Iā¦ā
What can I say?
Arenāt you in trouble?
Or are you okay?
āUh, letās just talkā
I heard Ivy was angry.
āWhat? From whom?
āTo the Masterā
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
Somehow I stare at Mr. Gilmouth silently.
And they sighed at the same time.
Already, Master!
āGood. I knew I was late, so I thought I was really mad.ā
āNo, Iām not angry at all. Because I knew you were busy.ā
āRight. But itās true that Iāve been sweetened by it. If you were another adventurer, youād already be complaining.ā
I think many times, Mr. Gilmouth is really tough.
Too much work to do.
With that said, the other Mr. Gilmouth had someone to assist him⦠but heās not here?
āUm, isnāt there anyone who can assist Mr. Gilmouth? I saw it somewhere else.ā
āIām here, but I had a baby about two months ago. Iām on vacation because Iām raising a child right now.ā
āYouāve overlapped a lot.ā
āhaha, wellā
āGood luckā
āIvyās a really good kid.ā
They kind of squeaked at me.
Looks like youāre getting pretty tired.\n
Will you be all right?
āOh, yeah. This is it.ā
Mr. Gilmouth offers me a few pieces of paper.
Iāll take that and read it.
The first is about helping Mr. Druid and Cielās crusade for Gulbalās gratuity.
⦠eh? This amount is wrong, isnāt it?
Rub your eyes and check the amount column again.
ā6 Gold Coinsā
They also include a thank you for finding Lucky Incense for this gold coin gratuity.
Thereās something about preventing a catastrophe, but I donāt know what it is.
In the meantime, Iām going to read another piece of paper to calm down.
This is presented with the valuation and purchase price of guilds such as medicine fruit that has been harvested in the back of the woods and is already sold.
Sold?
Well, okay.
Looking at the ratings, everything seemed fine.
Iām happy with this.
Nevertheless, the medicine is very expensive!
Plus a few things, an amount I never thought Iād have.
āBad, defective drug fruit and other tradesā
āWhat?ā
āI actually get confirmation from Ivy about the price and then sell it, but when I realized it didnāt seem to tell the story well, it was sold out. My carelessness, Iām so sorry.ā
With that said, I bow my head deeply, Mr. Gilmouth.
āItās okay. Because it has a higher price than I thought.ā
Really, I was surprised to see the purchase price.
I canāt believe itās so expensiveā¦ā¦
I ate quite a few by the time I got to this town, didnāt I?
Switching that for moneyā¦ā¦ letās stop thinking.
āThatās really bad. Iāve never interacted with a commercial guild before.ā
āSomeone on vacation, were you? \nāAlmost every negotiation. Iāve been a settlor and a confirmer and a bunch of adventurers.ā
Thatās tough.
āIs there no one else?
āI am sometimes there. But the adventurersā educational aids were my main job, so I donāt feel comfortable negotiating.ā
Sounds like this is really overlapping and out of hand.
āSlowly and surely it feels like one at a time.ā
āHmm? Hahaha, right. Better than making a hasty mistake.ā
Ah, did you make any mistakes already?
Are you sure youāre okay?
Is that it?
I think I had something to say to Mr. Gilmouth. What is it?
ā⦠what is it?
āIvy, whatās up?
āNo, I had to tell Mr. Gilmouth⦠Ah!
I remember, Solaās potion and Flemās demon stone.
Uh, if you say so, now is the time, right?
āUh, I need to talk to you for a secondā
āHey, what is it? Iām scared when people say that.ā
āUm⦠can you keep the story from leaking outside?
Both the master and Druid said to use magic items when talking.
āOh, okay.ā
Mr. Gilmouth brings you a magic item to activate it.
Now itās okay.
āIām talking about the potion and demon stone that your master had on that assignment.ā
Thatās my thing.
That I am taming two slimes besides Ciel.
And talk about that slime reviving potions and demon stones.
I donāt know if itās the right way to say I brought him back to life, but I couldnāt figure out what to explain.
\nāItās the cost of using potions and demon stones.ā
Probably the scariest thing to confirm this.
Iām going to look through the paperwork.
The number of people who used the potion and the number of people who helped.
Demon Stone Usage and Results.
And the amountā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ 3 gold plates.
Kimban?
Bang?
Could it be a board?
My head turns a little white.
āIs there a problem? Iād like to get some more out of here, but Iām sorry I canāt afford this town.ā
āItās okay. Itās perfectly fine. More than that. So at all.ā
To Mr. Gilmouthās words, words go out of his mouth on their own before thinking.
āIvy, letās just calm downā
ā⦠Yes. Heh, look at the amount. Iām confused.ā
āRight. Iām glad to see Ivyās age.ā
My heart settles softly on Mr. Gilmouthās words.
āThatās an amazing amount of moneyā
I get zero honest thoughts out of my mouth.
āThatās the amount of potion. He treated the adventurersā injuries with no sequelae. I really appreciate it. Honestly, I was hoping weād survive this mission.ā
Huh?
I didnāt know that.
āCause both your master and Gilmouth have no problem when you go to the woods, even the other adventurersā¦ā¦
I knew it was amazing, the adventurerās readiness to protect the town.
āIf Ivy hadnāt been here on this assignment, there would have been more damage. Thanks.ā
āNo, I didnāt do anything. Because the Siers worked hard for me.ā
āThatās not true. Because Ivy admitted to us, and Ciel must have helped us. Two slimes, because Ivy cares about us, and all kinds of resurrection? Theyāre gonna let me.ā
Am I?
Iād be happy if everyone worked so hard for what Iāve done.
