"Huh? Have you finished dismantling Harpy?"

　The day after the demise of monsters with the help of perpetual power. That's what he said when he told Fluorocarbons and Blaso, who had visited the inn, that the Harpy had already been dismantled.

"Oh, as you all know, I made a request for the dismantling of the monster yesterday, and the dismantling of the harpy."
"...no, that's...oh, I didn't specify which monster to dismantle, so that's all right."

　Whether Fluorocarbons bent their heads somewhat, they probably eventually remembered Ray's request. nod convincingly

"Well, that's why we were dismantling monsters outside until very late yesterday. It was getting dark early, so I was pretty busy at the end."

　a sighing ray
　After all, the sun was already setting when yesterday's request was completed. The outside of the city at night would naturally be a world of monsters rampaging around, and especially the perpetual powers that repaired most of their weapons and armor were frantically dismantling monsters as the sun went down.

"You're quite... in a way, that's Ray."

　Fluorocarbons muttered dumbfoundedly, but he regained his mind and called out to Ray.

"Then, as for the material of Harpy, as promised,"
"Yes, two magical stones to Ray. You sold everything else in the guild and asked for more magical stones than the others."
"That's all right with me. Shall we go now?"

　Rey's words nodded, and the party tried to head to the guild at once.

"It looks suspicious,"

　Ray muttered, looking up at the sky.
　The sky is covered with thick clouds, ready to rain at any time.

"Well, it didn't rain when I was dismantling it yesterday."
"Well, at times like this, it's best to relax in a bar. I was so tired yesterday that I couldn't drink slowly."
"Don't lie, lie. You've been sitting in the bar for a long time."Ray had already made his way to the stables to pick up Sett, leaving the two of them as usual.





"Yes, Seto," I'm going to eat this."

　A five-year-old boy holds a sandwich in his hand to Seto.

"Grull".

　Looking at the familiar sight, Ray smacks his tongue at the skewers he bought at the stall.

"Ray, how about this, too?" Kelpy skewer-yaki (roasted skewer)
"Is it Kelpy?"

　The owner of the skewer restaurant called out to Ray, who was watching Seto playing with his children, and it was not Ray but Brasso who responded.

"Kelpy is a Rank C monster, isn't it? You got it very well."

　Next to such a blasso, Fluorocarbons, who were looking at Seto again, exclaim in surprise.

"It was a little expensive, though." You see, there's a trading party led by Mr. Vetman in the town of Gillum right now, and the goods they had started to circulate."
"... oh,"

　The words of the skewer restaurant remind me of a friendly merchant I met at the Wheat House at dusk.

(Come to think of it, I wonder what happened to the adventurers that they had secured? I think the Azot business has already settled down and been released. ... well, it's self-made in a way that the restraints have been a little prolonged. Don't I have to worry about it?）

　Ray muttered, but in fact, the adventurers that the Vetman's had already captured were brought to the inn by the knights who had come to the inn yesterday, and now they are in the inn... to be exact, on the charge of assaulting the stable in the inn. However, Galajato, now the president of the Azot Chamber of Commerce, is steadily increasing his strength by paying bail, saying that all of those crimes were directed by Bornter.
　Azot merchants export monster materials that are unique to remote towns, villages, and cities, and weapons made from these materials. But the bad reputation in the past was not so easy to deal with; it needed the strength to act as a bodyguard.
　Even Dusker, the lord of the town of Gilm, released adventurers with bail to reduce tax revenues paid when Azot's sales fell.
　However, I should have said that the next time I committed a crime, I would be punished accordingly.

"But to put Kelpey, a Rank C monster, on the market... it's a very talented business force."

　This is also a brasso muttering satisfactorily while carrying Kelpy skewers into your mouth.
　flesh tender enough to bite without much force on the chin But when you chew it, it tastes like meat, and the gravy and salt sauce used for seasoning create an exquisite taste in your mouth. And in the next moment, only the taste is left in the mouth, and the meat itself is gone like a haze.`Oh, it's delicious,' Owner, two more bottles... No, give me five bottles."
"Oh, I'm sorry," No matter how many kelpees you may have, there's not much kelpees. I'm sorry, but please put up with it one by one."
`... well, I see. If this happens, we should soon be sent to subdue Kelpy."

　Brasso muttered like that without thinking of the word "one by one," but in the next moment his fists were waved down to his back of his head.

"Slip!"
"Don't be so foolish. I don't mean to receive such a dangerous request just for your sake."
"...can't you help it? Fluorocarbons, let's eat it, too."
"Don't make me say the same thing over and over again, absolutely. Look, let's get on with Ray and Seto, too. Do you sell harpy materials in guilds?"

　Fluorocarbons, tugging at the brasso. Watching the situation, Ray and Sett also turn down to the people around themselves.
　...after I bought some skewers and sandwiches, of course.





"Oh? You sold so many materials and magical stones yesterday, but are you still looking for a guild today? Oh, by any chance.

　Lenora calls out to the Reyes who come into the guild.
　After all, the amount of material and pomegranate obtained from yesterday's demolition was enormous, and it was assessed by a handful of guild officials.
　Of course, the members of the power of Culotte and Scholas had no way of associating with it, and as soon as they received the reward, they left, so they were alone in Ray.

"There's no easy and profitable job,"

　Culotte's tired words curiously impressed Ray.

"No, today is another sale of the material."
"...what!? No, because yesterday..."Lenora looks dumbfounded at Ray's words. Next to it, even Ray's favorite Kenny looks astonished.
　Ray smiles bitterly at their familiar appearance.

"What I brought in today is the material for harpy. Here's a request I made with these two."

　Say so, and look at Fluorocarbons and Blaso behind you.
　The two of them are looking at Ray, wondering how much material he brought in.
　As for Watermonkey's eyeballs, which differed between Schola and Ray, it turned out that Schola's book was more correct. To be exact, until nearly a decade ago, the water monkey's eyeballs were certainly purchased as materials, but now they are more effective than those of similar characteristics, and the discovery of inexpensive catalysts meant that they were no longer used by alchemists. Or some may have used it in the countryside--not the frontier--but at least it was no longer used in the streets of Gillum, and there was no contractor for transportation, which resulted in a near total loss of eyeballs and the cost of preserving it.
　Ray's book was so old that the situation was like that, but he had no one to blame for this, so he had to give up breathing. Even so, the guild bought me a lot of materials, so I didn't have to worry about that amount of money in the end.

"So don't worry. The material itself is not that much."

　muttering, from Mistilling, the right ear which is the proof of Harpy's extermination, the toenails of the stripped material, and the tail feathers. Then he takes out the magical stones.
　Of course, as promised beforehand, the two magical stones have already been removed as part of the Ray's share.

"There certainly isn't that much," I'll be able to judge it right away, so please wait for me.

　Lenora says so, and immediately picks up the right ear of the testimonial site.

"Kenny, please send me the proof of defeat."
"All right. I have to do my best for Ray."
"...that's why I can't trust you to appraise the material." I'll judge him sweetly even yesterday."
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah The overall condition of the material wasn't so bad, was it?"

　With a somewhat misleading smile, Lenora breathes out before returning to appraising the material.

"Is this... Ah, did you ask the people of the eternal power of yesterday? The characteristics of how the material is peeled off are consistent.""Oh, but I got this harpy material at the request of the Brassos. You can't pretend to cash in on your own accord, can you?
"Well, I sometimes hear that they sell materials to guilds and shops without worrying about it, and later they get into trouble because of it. Sometimes parties break up because of it. ... well, as was the case yesterday, you're peeling off the material in a pretty good condition. the tail feathers of a harpy in particular If you use it for arrow feathers, you'll get a fairly high‐performance arrow. Of course, arrowheads and other parts must have suitable materials."

　Lenora nods admiringly and carefully wraps Harpy's tail feathers. And the next thing I took out was my toenails.

"...I heard that the toenails are also used as materials. How are they used by alchemists?"
"There is also a way to attach it to the surface of the armor. in a sort of aggressive armour, such as hitting one's body or being caught by the enemy You can also bury it at the tip of a club. It's a pretty easy-to-use material."

　Lenora, who graciously tells her, was the last one left in her hand.

"There are no chippings or scratches here, either. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . of good quality."

　When it comes to magical stones, you just have to check their appearance lightly, and once you take the material and retreat to the back of the counter.

"Wait a moment, please. What about you, Kenny?"
"I'm ready now," Here it is. It's a proof of subjugation."

　They must have already prepared it. There were several silver coins inside the counter.
　When Lenora confirms this, she nods softly and leaves the Ray's partner to Kenny to proceed.
　Of course, Kenny doesn't have to complain because it's a chance to talk to Ray... or rather, he talks to Ray with a smile.

"Now that you mention it, have you heard of Azot?"Kenny's talk is, in a way, the most high-profile in the city of Gillum.

"Oh, for the most part. Have you changed the chair?"

　As long as I'm paid hush money, I can't talk about it in detail, so I'm going to talk about it in a misguided way.

"Yes, everything was said by a guild-registered merchant, and it seems that the arms trade is much better understood."
"... a merchant registered in the guild?"

　Ray nods at the words that Kenny utters.
　Kenny nods with a smile on the face of Ray, even though he cheers in his heart.

"Didn't you know that some merchants beat monsters themselves and collect materials to make weapons?" And they use the weapons themselves and put them up for sale."
"I see,"

(Certainly, you can get your own materials, make weapons and protective gear, and save money on buying materials for adventurers if you want to sell them.) ...but if you think the other way around, it would mean that he was acting as an adventurer, a blacksmith, and an arms dealer by himself. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

　Kenny continues with a smile while Ray thinks so in private.

"I don't know exactly what happened, but it's good for the city of Gilm. Oh, yeah! Would you like to come to the merchant's shop together after work today? I think Ray will learn a lot. -- Ouch!"

　Kenny's hand reaches out from behind Ray's enticing cat's ear.
　The man who carried it out was Lenora, of course, it was Kenny's partner.

"Oh, as soon as I take my eyes off it, it's this. Take care of yourself a little. --no, in this case I suppose I ought to tell him to mock himself."

　They probably understood what was said by words that were pronounced the same but had different meanings. Kenny protests with a puff of cheeks.

"Isn't that too much!"
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." This is the purchase price for this time."Lenora passes through such a Kenny and hands over the purchase fee.
　As usual, Ray laughed bitterly, but received the fee.





　"By the way, I immediately returned to the inn that day and tried to absorb Harpy's magical stones into a set and cut them in a death-size way, but since there was no skill absorption, two magical stones were wasted."
