Chapter 70
“Please, my husband”
“Ah”
Contract magic was prepared by Marc. I was familiar with the unusually designed ink fountain containing contract paper and special ink used for contract magic on the table.
Benno puts a pen on the inkwell and writes the contract details. I remember that the ink is blue instead of black. Look at the letters written in the contract.
《Rutz has the right to sell what was made in the Main workshop.
If you have an agent, you must obtain the approval of Mine, Lutz, and Benno and report it to the commercial guild.
“What is this sentence?”
When I pointed to the contract, Benno lightly raised his eyebrows.
“Insurance. Some people are thinking about threatening and destroying a child-only contract with violence or kidnapping. Engage me with a guild to prevent any fraud. When you make such a contract Engage third parties who are likely to be your ally as much as you can. ”
“… Thank you”
Not only did he propose such troublesome contract magic, but he didn’t think he would be involved on his own.
I receive the pen from Marc and sign it. Next, Lutz writes Benno’s name at the end and pushes his blood.
“Lutz, please”
When I closed my eyes and put my hand out, Lutz cut my fingertips with a knife. Press the red blood that oozes gently onto your signature.
The moment the blood is sucked, the blue ink turns black as before. Then, as with the previous contract magic, after all the signatures are completed, the ink part shines, a hole is opened from the ink part so as to burn, and the contract paper itself disappears.
Benno exhales slowly, watching the sparkle disappear until it burns out.
“For now, Lutz and Mine will be able to meet each other with the name of the need to sell goods even if Mine is brought to the nobility town.” Mine learns to self-defense “
“I will do my best”
I showed my fist, but I was swayed by Benno, Rutz, and Marc with a very anxious face.
“However, this is only valid for those who find value in the products that Mine makes.”
“Huh?”
“If you only need magical power, you would say that you didn’t know about buying or selling goods …. Luckily, this is a noble in this town and you have the opportunity to get a lot of money if you leave it alone. I don’t think there are very few aristocrats that are so wealthy to ignore, and as I said before, this covenant magic is only effective in this city. Be careful. ”
“Yes”
After that, we signed a contract with the same content on ordinary parchment. This seems to report to the guild and not a big check on the aristocrat, but to show that they are already contracted when something happens in another city.
“Let’s go through the procedure today. I’m heading to the commercial guild. Register Mine Kobo as a workshop and make Mine the chief of the workshop. It will be possible to negotiate a little bullishly by showing that there are alternatives and ways to make money other than the temple. “
“Yes”
The commercial guild is on the way home, so you can rest assured if you can stop and finish the procedure.
As soon as Benno rushes quickly, Rutz rushes to the storeroom to change clothes.
I looked up at Benno and asked.
“How can the negotiations be favored?”
“That’s right … First of all, I think of the best results for me. First, what are the concessions I have to draw from my opponent, what can I get out of here, and what my opponent wants? I can see if they are there. “
Listening to Benno’s words, I think of what I want.
What I want is permission to enter and view the library. To that end, I want to enter the temple from a position that is not an apprentice gray priestess. From here you can get magic and money. What the other party wants is magic and money if Benno’s information is correct.
Is it possible to negotiate somehow?
“… Oh, that said, the temple chief told me that in principle, I wouldn’t belong to another guild to enter the temple. The temple chief told me to negotiate with the guild chief. What happened, can I register? ”
Benno chops up to me, remembering the words of the temple chief.
“Hey, Mine. Don’t throw yourself around. Don’t get stuck and secure your profits. You won’t know what ridiculous conditions you can put on.”
“That’s right. The holy grail was a magical tool and I didn’t think it could extend my life, so I felt like it would have been about half a year. I admit it was throwing.” [19459002 ]
It seems that I can extend my life, the library has been found, and my motivation is rising.
“Use your head to keep the motivation from spinning around”
“I will do my best”
Lutz ran down the stairs. It seems like it ’s quite rushing because I ’m talking at all. I am impressed by looking up at the high level on the 7th floor. If I run up and run down like this, I’m sure it will fall down.
“Let’s go!”
Benno put his hand aside and picked me up as usual.
Otto told me that my walking speed is too fast for an adult male, so I have been quietly hugging these days. If you resist, you just get tired and give up.
“If a person entering the temple should not belong to another guild, only the Mine can interact with the commercial guild in the temple. If you are already registered and can’t push through, You can flicker money, so let’s admit the studio activity. “
On the way to the commercial guild, Benno will continue to talk about how to deal and negotiate so that he can spare a little time. I want to take notes, but I can’t. While watching Benno, he mobilizes his ears and brain miso to get as much information as possible.
“As I said earlier, the number of blue priests has declined, and orphans may have no work, and donations may have been reduced. “ I want the living environment to be arranged, and to arrange the appropriate clean things in this way, let the workshop recognize the right. The temple side knows that it needs money to do anything. ”
“Yes”
“By the way, you can also work on them, or you can’t act without the guys to manage your physical condition, or say that you can inflate the truth of 1 by 10 or 20, and secure your labor force. Is already in the store, so you can’t use it half a week. “
“I see.”
‘I ’m going to sort out my head as I repeatedly ask for specific and easy-to-understand measures. Arrange beautiful things, win the rights of the workshop, and exaggerate frailty to secure the labor force. Certainly, even if there is a workshop, I cannot move alone.
“If you know that even orphans can work seriously in the workshop, there may be places where other workshops will accept them. If you create new products and orphans make them, Your eyes may change slightly, depending on your skills. “
“I understand. I’ll try my best”
When Benno was impressed that he thought about not only me but also the orphan, Benno sighed and shook his head.
“Huh … You are easy to get on, too? Don’t try to bring anything in. Set priorities in advance”
“Huh?”
When I was blinking with an opinion that turned my palm back, Benno shook my eyebrows as if in trouble. Apparently, something was being tried.
“Until you decide your position in the temple, give yourself the top priority over the orphans. Rather, consider using them with your orphans. I don’t want to say this, There are more people who are worried and saddened than something in an orphan. “
“… I understand”
I arrived at the commercial guild when I asked. While passing through the door that Lutz opened, Benno gets a bit of an eyebrows and becomes a grumpy face.
“If you want to make a new product, have trouble, or have something you need, come to the consultation. Of course, I will take the money, but I will do my best to make it as convenient as possible.”
“Thank you. Thank you, Benno-san”
As the dusk was approaching, we quickly passed through the second floor of the commercial guild where there were fewer people and headed for the counter on the third floor.
Return the temporary guild card, submit the documents prepared by Benno before the baptismal ceremony, and register it officially. The document clearly stated that Benno was designated as the dealer and Lutz as the negotiator.
“Oh, Mine. Did you come?”
I wonder if I was in the Guild Nagamuro, Frida came down the stairs while shaking the pale cherry-colored twin tails, and found me catching the bookshelf in the waiting space, and rushed.
“When I finished the baptismal ceremony, I thought I would come to register, but I couldn’t hear it at all. I was worried that I might have fallen at the baptismal ceremony.”
“Fu, you’re looking forward. I really fell down. I finally recovered.”
It was a little interesting that Frida was expecting, and when I blew out small, Frida lightly rubbed Lutz, who was spreading the map.
“Lutz was attached, but Mine fell down”
“This time there is nothing wrong with Lutz. Rather, I am bad.”
全面 I’m totally bad because the cause of the collapse was abdominal muscle collapse and the excitement of finding the library. I have to apologize at the prostrate level for worries.
“Hey, Mine. I’m called”
It seems that a new guild card was created while talking to Frida. Frida returned to work behind the counter and I headed to the counter for explanation.
The new card carries over the previous information, but it is said that a blood sample is necessary and takes a breath.
“Mine, give up”
When you poke your finger with the handed hand and press the blood that begins to breathe, the card will shine and registration will be completed. Registration is easy but painful.
After paying 5 small silver coins for the registration fee, I received an explanation about the difference between the temporary registration and the card as the studio manager.
“Well, Mine Kobo? Wasn’t Benno’s shop a merchant apprentice?”
“I gave up because I could not work physically”
“Well, would you like to have your home made by Mine Kobo?”
Immediately looked at Frida, who became a merchant’s face with a brilliant look.
“Oh, I’m sorry. Rutz is supposed to sell Benno-san’s items at the Mine workshop”
“… you’re Lutz again”
friar sharpens his lips, unsatisfactory, but there is no help for what has been decided. Frida sold Cattlekar’s exclusive rights, so I want you to give it up.
“Have you handed over Kathalkar to Frida? How about it? Will it be for sale?”
“Yeah, Irze is doing a lot of research on taste. I’d like to hear Mine’s opinion before selling. Please come to taste. How about tomorrow?”
I want to eat. I think sweets are nice when you get tired. Until the negotiations with the temple are over, I can’t afford to go to taste sweets.
“Thank you for the invitation, but the schedule is packed until the day after tomorrow.”
“Then, what about the next day? If you like, take Mine’s sister with you. If you have an older sister, you should not come to Lutz?”
Frieda urged Lutz by flirting with the presence of Turi, and Rutz is fond of Frida with a face that seems to bite. Speaking of that, last time I put Turi on a carriage and left Lutz.
“Fridda, don’t say that mean, is it better to eat together? Isn’t there some thing that Irze is doing research on taste?”
“That’s right …”
In the direction of pursuing the point of product tasting, Frida thinks that Frida’s thinking will be switched from emotional to merchant thinking in the direction of tasting the product.
“In order to predict the perfection and sales of a product, it’s better to get as many people as possible to get their opinions. Children and adults have different tastes and men and women
“… A lot of people? How do you eat? Even if you have a tea party, it’s difficult to invite a lot of people.”
Frida’s eyes have become merchants’ eyes. However, it seems that the idea has changed to a tea party that invites many people because Lut’s participation. I want to approve of Lutz’s participation, and I try to get some words.
“Isn’t it okay to have a tea party? Prepare a cuttle-sized cuttle curl and ask them which one was the most delicious and why they thought it was delicious. I’m going to do, Lutz … “
“I’ll get that idea!”
Frieda struck her hand and shined her eyes before I said to the end. He looks excited and completely lifted. He had a very happy and happy face, but it looked like he was no longer in sight.
“Eh? Frida?”
“I’ll let you know when the date of the tasting party is decided. Of course, my sister and Lutz. Ah, I’ll be busy. Well, Mine, Lutz. Good morning.”
As soon as he wants to shape what he has come up with, Frida turns back and goes up the stairs. Perhaps I went to the guild chief for consultation. I don’t really know what to come up with, and how to run away, but Frieda was happy to invite Lutz, so the result would have been good.
After the negotiations were over, Lutz sighed lightly as he looked back at Frida’s smile, saying that it would be nice to enjoy a variety of sweets.
“What? Is Frida and Mine similar?”
Benno laughed and affirmed Lutz’s words.
After completing the procedure and leaving the commercial guild, it was time to live even on a long summer day. The central square, which was crowded when entering the commercial guild, feels like people coming and going have become sparse.
When I was walking while looking at the long shadow puppeteer, I felt that my hands connected to Lutz had a little bit of power.
“What happened?”
When I stopped my feet and looked up at Lutz, Lutz looked down at me, distorting her face with a complex expression that seemed to be angry. Lutz’s words fall into the shadow.
“… Does Mine really enter the temple?”
“Yeah, maybe. If Benno-san’s story is all true, I think the temple will keep me apart. Benno-san predicts that?”
Lutz stared at me with anxiety once he had closed his lips.
“Can you negotiate?”
Descending sunset darkens the shadows, making it look more anxious and crying. I found that my hands were gradually getting more power.
I want to get rid of Lutz’s anxiety as much as possible.
“I don’t know what will happen because I’ve never negotiated with a nobleman. But if the Holy Grail is really magical and can keep you from eating, you’d better go to the temple and want to enter to read the book But I can’t think of a gray shrine maiden, so it’s up to the negotiations. I’ll try my best to make my environment a little better. “
“Oh …”
Lutz, whose face was distorted for a moment, started walking with his eyes closed.
Walking with two people, staying silent for a while. Pretending to look at Lutz’s face pretending to be worried about the sound of the wagon passing by, he looked like he was saying something, but he looked up. As I move forward silently, I become more concerned.
“Hey, Lutz. If you have something to say, what should I say? Listen?”
Lutz, who stopped his foot, opened his mouth a little, tied it, thought a little, and then turned his eyes away.
“… I don’t want to say it because it’s so cool”
“Yes, I understand”
Regardless of how much you care, you should respect the man’s heart that you want to wear. I nodded and started walking again.
Silence continues again. Just like cobblestones, the footsteps of people rushing home are heard, and the noise of the evening can be heard through these windows, but only around us is thin and quiet and heavy air.
Whether the sun has fallen, the long shadows of the buildings overlap, and the shadows are darkening, the feet are gradually darkening.
“… I wanted to say that I made paper together, made a book and sold it. Mine’s liar”
ル Lutz’s whisper that was confused by the sound of a wagon passing by and rattled, but I could hear it clearly. As the situation changed, the words of Lutz, which I wanted to say but could not say, pierced my chest.
“I’m sorry, Lutz”
“Mine isn’t apologizing. I know I can’t do anything. My husband has said that right, so I don’t want Mine to see anything dangerous. I want to cooperate. ”
Lutz cut his word there and bite his back teeth once.
“… But I’m sorry. Mine told me to do a bookstore with me …”
“That’s right, but I wanted to read because I wanted to read a book, so I wouldn’t stop making books even if I went to the temple? Rather, I’ll do my best because my life has been extended?” Will I achieve my ambition without increasing books? ”
Lutz raised his face. Lutz praises her shoulder with a distorted smile that seems to cry.
“Ambition to read and live with books?”
“Yes. Do you want Lutz to be a merchant? Do you want to be a merchant and go to various places? I have dreams too.”
When I said, “Let’s do our best for each dream,” Lutz became a crying face. The tears that seemed to overflow were clearly visible even in the dark.
“Mine’s dream, I want to support you … but I was able to do my best because Mine was together. I wanted to do my best at Husband’s store. I want to do more with Mine.”
While saying so, Lutz hugged me and buried my face in my shoulder. A small phlegm that is trying to hold down desperately falls on the shoulder.
“It’s okay. You can even enter the temple. I’ll definitely make a book.”
“No. No, I didn’t sell books I made with someone else, I wanted to make it with Mine.”
RUZZ ’s dissatisfaction spilled as if he had cut the weir, probably in the reservoir. Lutz who shakes his head to knead, my heart hurts and tears spill. I embraced Lutz with all the dissatisfaction and tapped the pompom and back.
“What I decided before will not change? Rutz will make what I thought?” When you make something, you consult with Lutz before Benno and before anyone else, I ask for your cooperation “
“I can’t do anything?”
Lutz raised his face as if he was surprised. I laughed a little while wiping her tears on her cheeks.
“What will I do if Lutz can’t do anything? Is there anything I can do? Well, there are people who can go with what I want to make without knowing what to do and what to do.” It ’s only Lutz. It ’s me that I ’m in trouble without Lutz. ”
“… No, I already know what Mine makes is worth it, so everyone can help.”
Lutz sharply sharpens his lips and hurries to wipe away his tears in a shameful manner. Lutz moves his shoulders and arms steadily, whether he wants to say something, he feels a little refreshed or wants to shake his shame.
“Well, even if I make it with someone, it doesn’t work out well, but I can only think of a future where I can call Lutz and get in the middle, but can you really help me?”
Lutz finally laughed when I gave up my shoulder. Grab your hand and start walking with a bright smile on the road that gets darker.
“It’s okay. I’ll make it.”
