The Novice Alchemist's Store

"Copy that. So let's all start retrieving the fangs."

"Yes, please"

We decide where to place the processed corpse and repeat the task of folding the fangs and loading the corpse.

It was only at first that we had a chat, but eventually there was nothing to talk about, and we continued to work silently, even silently.

Eventually, as Mr. Kate stood up and stretched her body all the way, she looked around and sighed.

"... I can't see ahead, is that what this is about?

"haha...... that's a bit high number"

Even after a few hours, I still haven't even finished processing the bodies that are piling up around me, so I can also better understand that Mr. Kate leaks a raunchy voice.

Others continue to work as they unravel their bodies from time to time, and outside, it's time for the sun to go down.

Finally, the last one was thrown on the mountain.

"Done -!!"

It was Mr. Iris who shouted at the same time.

Though the others don't scream either, they breathe a ho and leak a smile.

"Good luck, Kate"

"Mr. Store Manager - Oh, and Cinzini, too"

"Ha ha, it's good because there won't be anyone at this time just right"

"That was more than I could have imagined. How many of them were there?

Both me and Kate tilt their little necks at that question of Mr. Andre.

"Come on...... because I just stopped counting on the way in"

"Me too. Because it seemed like it was going to be a pain in the ass."

Looking at the others, no one seems to have counted the number of people they have processed.

"There are thousands of them... Cinzini, how many people should I call tomorrow?

"Right......"

A total of dozen times seems to require carriage, but limiting it in half may also be a source of discord.

For once, I'm going to pay you more than I normally do.

"Everyone who Mr. Andre trusts and wants to do it. Me, for once, dressed like this to hide who I am, but if I find out,"

To my words when I said so, Mr. Andre and his men looked at each other and sighed.

"Well, there's no such thing as ancient ginseng."

"If you look where we're fighting, that's one shot. I'm not in this village."

"... find out?

Nodded by clams and everyone.

"I was ready..."

"Of course, I think it makes sense not to hide your face at the entrance or call your name?

"Yes, yes. If you're a recent collector, you don't know."

Oh, so you know all the collectors of ancient ginseng.

All the ancient ginseng people there, I said, 'Uhm. You were laughing inside when you heard him say' let's go in 'or something.

"- Well, good. Because of this, this route will continue. So, are the rewards good this time around in mountain splits?

"No, if we get that much, we'll be jealous of the rest of them."

"Yes, yes. Enough to color the forehead we usually earn, huh?

"Oh, the only reason I can kill you safely is because of Cinzini's magic."

"Really? But if you could say that, it would help. After tomorrow, we'll have to pay the people who carry the bodies."

Even if you pay to color your regular earnings a little, you won't be stupid if you have a lot of people.

Besides, I also want them to help me sell my fangs to the merchants, so I'll need a commission at that time.

There's nothing suspicious about bringing in massive amounts of fangs with just the mask on.

"What will Mr. Iris and the others do?

"Ugh. On this occasion, you can't possibly tell me to divide it into mountains."

"Yep. Just like Mr. Andre and the others."

"I understand. So, depending on your working hours, you pay everyone about three days of your regular earnings."

"Enough. But for today, this corpse, can we stay like this? Exactly in this condition, carrying heavy baggage and walking for a few hours is..."

"Yeah, I don't mind."

Tomorrow, we'll have plenty of manpower.

"And then there's that pile of fruit...... who wants to collect it, anyone?

Everyone's gaze gathers on the pile of fruit that caused this Fang Recovery Death March, which I pointed out, and then turns to Mr. Gill.

I got everyone's gaze, and he laughed a little troubled, one hand up.

"Uh, now you're okay with putting your hands on it, right?

"Yes, now. Tomorrow, there should be another ice tooth bat around here, so no."

Since the deepest part has become a blank zone, young ice tooth bats of previous age, located close to the entrance, will enter deeper.

If you get your hands on it in that state, today's tragedy (?) Again, is.

"… whether to eat or not, shall we collect it? You can sell it high, can't you?

"If you have a seller? It's just that it's hard to transport, because if it melts, it's not worth it."

To that word, Andre and the others said, 'Huh?' And turn your gaze to me.

"Isn't that impossible for a normal gatherer?

"- Our store is selling a handy smelter called the freezer, Artifact."

Conversely, in the case of people who cannot use magic, it is difficult to recover without this.

"Is that such a price that you can take the ex?

I answer Mr André's confirmation with a few thoughts.

"... if you have a seller?

"I knew it!

It's certainly a difficult product to handle, isn't it?

You have to keep it cool all the time, and only a few people can buy it.

That is why it will not be money if the great merchants and nobles do not have the handover "Once Upon a Time".

"By the way, Cinzini can take it home, right?

"Yes, it's possible. Saving is possible for a while now."

"Oh, the freezer I made because of it, it's almost carapo. Just in time!

"... yeah, that's right"

I respond with a slightly bitter look to Mr Iris, who says with a good smile.

The dining relationship is almost entirely up to Lorea, but whatever the refrigerator is, the freezer doesn't really use it. As much as I make ice.

Lorea said, 'I don't know what to use it for'...

Well, I can understand that feeling.

If I hadn't seen you use it at your master's, too, I'd have said, 'Maybe you don't really need it?' I thought it was just a candle.

"Normal people don't have the edge of a freezer."

"Right. It's useful for storing meat..."

"Cinzini, ordinary villagers can't buy enough meat to save."

"Right. I know."

To the words of Mr. Kate and Mr. Andre, I can only snort.

This previous Hell Flame Grizzly is a special case, and there is usually not enough prey for Mr. Jasper to freeze and store it.

If you distribute it to people in the village, a lot, about two meals.

I don't have time to rot.

It is a complete luxury because normal life consists of no refrigerator.

"I'd appreciate it if water with ice came out in the summer, but it's not like I can buy it personally."

"Mr. Andre, you can buy the fruit here, to save it, right?

"If you don't have a seller, you can't take the ex, can you?

"Yes."

To me, who answered honestly, Mr. Andre shrugs his shoulders and laughs bitterly.

"You can't buy that. You think a normal gatherer like us has a connection to nobility? How are the Iris ladies?

"... me too, that's hard"

Asked by Mr. Andre, Mr. Iris shakes his head with a slight silence and a difficult face.

"Right. Then we'll have fun on our own or..."

"You have the courage to look at this situation and try to eat it, Mr. Andre."

"No, I have something to hesitate about, too, you know?

"But it's delicious, isn't it? I'm interested."

"Something you rarely eat," they say.

That's the veteran gatherer.

Strong mental.

I can't believe I'm trying to get my hands on something in such a guzzled, rotten fruit...

"Well, shall we collect it first? It's a waste of time to argue here."

"Right. Hey, Gil, Gray, let's do this."

Copy that.

That's what I said, the three of them starting to crumble a pile of rotten fruit.

As it stands, even though my nose is quite paralyzed, the sweet smell that started to drift when I started working on it gets on my nose.

And I tried to collapse the mountain and found out that only the surface part is really rotten.

The fruit on the inside still remains frozen and, at first glance, looks decent.

"... Isn't this something you should do?

"Oh, you're going to eat something."

With that said, Andre and the others pick up the beautiful fruit they look and pack it in a leather bag.

The quantity is going to be more than I thought... but is that good enough?

"I'll leave the good and bad decisions to you, but just the inside, okay? - Oh, no. I don't mind if you eat something suspicious, break your stomach, and buy our smelting potion."

It's bought and sold, so it's probably okay...... the first person to eat it is brave, isn't it?

"I'll do that when I get back. If I break my stomach here, it won't be stylish."

"If this all stinks, even if your shit mixes up here, don't you know? Buhaha.................. sorry"

Our woman's sharp gaze pierced Mr. Gill, who said nasty things, and he immediately apologized.

Sure, it's loaded with bat shit, but it's a little different than that, isn't it?

"Sorry I didn't grow up well."

"It's not about growing up, it's about Gil's personality, right? That's not hot for a woman, is it?

To Grey, who apologizes for his loss, Iris says something rather harsh.

"Iris, you're tight!

"If that's what you think, then Gil should be able to stop being weird and light-hearted and focus on women, too"

"Ugh!"

"Totally. How come gatherers have so many nasty guys like this?

Andre smiles bitterly at Mr. Iris, who exhales in disaffection with his arms.

"There are very few women. So if you have beauties like Iris' ladies, there are a lot of guys who speak up."

"Really?

"Perhaps one in three of the newcomers spoke up?

Asking Mr. Andre, he returned more numbers than he could have imagined.

"Really?

Now to Mr. Iris.

"... unfortunately, that's about it. It's a pain in the ass.

"That's very popular, isn't it?

"I'm not happy. Yikes. Cinzini doesn't like it when people come to the store and nag you every time, right?

"I don't like it. - I don't have any experience."

Not one!

Shit, I don't have a cool guy or anything, so it's nothing good!

I don't regret anything, but hey!

"No, you don't have a collector who numbs an alchemist,"

"Ah. In the elite and us, we're in too different positions. In that regard, Iris and the others are the same collectors. I guess it's easy to call."

"I see, is there such a side to it?"

Is that good or bad?

Seems annoying to Iris and to me... yeah, I'll think about that in the future.

Even the master doesn't seem married, does he?

"Well, I recovered what looked good, but how to sell it later, right? It's no use eating them all ourselves..."

"I thought I'd jump in and bring it to the big merchant."

"You can't carry it in the first place, you said it was us."

"... If that's a good idea, why don't I ask you in my handover?

"Hmm? Did Cinzini say something about an orphan?

I saw the troubled Mr. Andre and when I suggested he looked back at me a little strangely.

You're an orphan, but you have such a legend, I guess...

"Ah! Right, master! If you are indeed a master class alchemist..."

"Yes, I can't, but the master's handler might be able to."

Maybe if I contact my senior at school, I'll be able to do the same, but I'd like to avoid bothering you because I'm in training.

In that regard, a master can send letters and in kind in a transfer formation, and all kinds of conveniences are convenient.

"Uh, I mean, is Cinzini's master a master class alchemist?

"Yes. So I thought you had quite a handout... They might say no."

It's not surprising at all that only that master said 'cause it's troublesome' and said no.

Even at the request of the nobles, because it is the master who refuses if it is a hassle.

"If it's still possible, I'd like to ask for it."

"Oops, even if this is delicious, it's better if it's normal than something that's hard to handle from us."

"You don't have to be that expensive, but you should be able to drink a lot."

"I understand. We'll negotiate in that direction."

Do you want to drink alcohol in the dining room or buy it at Mr. Darna's place in this village?

If you ask your master, he'll also get you alcohol like you're not selling in this village?
