115 - - 113.House Acquisition Quest

I am producing in the store all morning .

I'm glad I left the facilities for kneading and compounding on the third floor. And I don't need a futon anymore. ...... I've gotten used to living in an inn.

The first thing to do is to make sure that you have a good idea of what you're getting into.　I don't know about Cal, but Leno seems to be able to do it. I can't imagine Partin cooking at all.

Two pieces of toast with your choice of butter or jam.

One piece of toast with bacon and eggs.

Roasted potatoes with mustard and salad,

Fried white fish, corn potage.

Orange and cinnamon latte.

They both like corn pottage and tartar sauce, too. They are two adults who seem to be sure that I should serve dishes that are suitable for children in general.

I had to make extra toast and add jam.

Are you sure about these two?

I think I'm going to put a lot on the bread, and maybe some rice for the two of them.

"Homura, just butter?"

"No, I sometimes put jam on top if I feel like it."

Looking at their sticky jam-covered toast, my sweet-tooth tolerance for the day was already finished, even though I hadn't eaten any. I was ready to put on the glossy jam when I served it to them.

Why don't I pay attention to these two?

Because I've already had breakfast twice today. After having it once at the inn.

Producing E! (bara) decreases. ....... I was rather mooching while producing!　If you're consuming,......, if you're consuming,......?

Trinh's store is on the main street between the Commercial Guild and the Temple, but it is smaller than one might expect.

I contacted him yesterday and asked if I could come early in the morning, which I did. It seems that players' stores and a few others are very busy with requests for guild houses.

There are surprisingly few players walking on the main street, as the plaza and the southwest area where the players' stores are concentrated are enough for everyone to use this street for horse-drawn carriages. The only people walking along the street are residents. This road from the square to the temple is the main street and is lined with large stores, including clothing stores, shoe stores, jewelry stores, etc., although these stores are not related to defenses or additional abilities.

Cal and Reno are going for a light dive in the labyrinth. Cal is not sick, but has just recovered from an injury, so he said he was going to test how well his body works in shallow places. Reno is his companion, a very sociable dragonut.

Cal was also very conscientious to ask me if he could use the money I had given him before the store opened for the transfer, when he could have made up for it right away by going into the labyrinth.

Ah, maybe we'll be closed on the day of light, not Sunday. Cal will probably go to the labyrinth to get and to return to Ekaterina. It would be hard to leave after dinner and come back at noon the next day to stay up all night as a bouncer, and even if he only works short hours in the afternoon, he would not be able to move freely if he has to stay up all night.

Ekaterina didn't seem to be worried at all about the strategy, so I guess it will be all right. < is.

Oh, I forgot to ask about the proximity to other people.

Trin stopped the employee who was about to answer the door and came out.

"Good morning."

"Good morning."

They greet each other and shake hands.

"This way, please."

He told me that the main store is located in Saa. The fast restaurant is said to have more customers by far, but they have no intention of moving the main restaurant there.

We pass by the counter and are shown into a room used for serving customers. It is a nice and calm restaurant with good taste.

It is not a room with a display cabinet, but an efficient room surrounded by shelves of documents. However, unlike in the real world, the files are also heavy, leather-covered and pinned, making it look like a study or a library at first glance.

"I'll give you the key before I forget it."

After receiving the spare key to the back door of the liquor store, several files are piled up in front of me.

I had emailed them earlier, so they were ready for me. Incidentally, when I send an e-mail to a resident here, a sealed envelope appears in front of me for the first time when I choose to send it, and then it disappears. It seems that the letter is sent by magic.

Trinh's store is a well-established and powerful store that has both an architect and a carpenter, and Trinh himself has both skills.

The file contains a floor plan of the house, the type and number of < required for the floor plan, and how many < are needed for the interior. There is one file with general floor plans, and one file with the floor plans of a lord's mansion.　One file of gorgeous floor plans. Separate files for flooring, walls, columns, ceilings, and various other interior decorations. Files for roofs, exterior walls, exteriors, etc.

> 5,000,000 shillings each, <> 1,000,000 shillings each. Each ball is for a room or an interior, the contents are charged separately. <> can only be filled with a certain type of wood, so it will look like a temporary hut. <, and change the walls and so on to your liking with . Also, doors, windows, stairs, etc. can be added with <>.

I guess you can imagine that you can put a box together with < and arrange it as a house with <.　<<>.

After listening to the explanation, I am convinced that the reason why many general floor plans have few corridors is because each corridor costs 5,000,000 shill <>. It seems that the floor plans differ from those of normally constructed buildings due to the budget.

I heard that the corridors are originally treated as a luxury or even a symbol of power and wealth because of the limited land within the city walls of fasts.

How about bragging about long corridors? Maybe they have a race to hang a rag on it.

"Some people build one or two rooms, and when they have saved up enough money, they add on to the house as they like, but it will become inconvenient later on in terms of living, so it's better to decide on a floor plan first and add on to the house systematically.

"I'll do that, it's just too much money to spend all at once."

"The reason why <><> is so expensive is because the materials are hard to get. You can also ask a skilled adventurer to gather materials for you, but this time the request fee is high.

And there's actually a problem.

"What?"

There is a major renovation of the castle underway in King's Landing. The Marquis of Lobster has sent word to all building officials throughout the land and we here at Fast have been asked to contribute men and supplies. Unless one of you can make arrangements, we will not be allowed to open for business. Thanks to the hard work of the head of the Mos Guild and other members of the commercial guilds, we can only accept requests through the commercial guilds. ......"

Trinh says with a wry smile.

I didn't expect to hear the name I heard from the gondola boatman in Juana at a place like this.

He told me that if I accepted the request, I might be in trouble, and that the commercial guilds would not be able to help me except in their stores. Lobster, I want to turn you into a lobster roll.

"If we send people out, the business itself will be delayed, and we are currently collecting supplies, but the building officials from all over the country are collecting, it's hard to ......."

What do you mean by supplies?

"At the moment we are short of < from the dungeon in Pfina and from the labyrinth. The other materials are generally available, so I managed to secure them."

<. I remember that Ochazuke said he needed it to make his room in the clan house. I also heard that it is used for interior decoration, but I wonder if it is for castle interior decoration or not.

"Shall I go get it?"

"Thanks, but it's not that easy, is it?"

"If <><><>> is right, I already have some of those, okay?"

"Really!　Then I would like you to give it to me. I've already sent out requests to other adventurers, and I'd like three of each if possible. If you give us that much, when the officials come, we will be able to tell them that we are trading for supplies.

You get a leaflet that gives you an idea of the price to build a house, ask for the location of a dungeon with <>, and leave the store. To my delight, once I have delivered the stone, they will accept the second request, so there seems to be no need to deliver the stone again at the clan house.

I also asked him where I can get the materials for <><>.

<<> in Faina, <> near Lakonos Island in Fagat, <> in the Narn Mountains on the Isle side, and <> in the Paltine Mountains on the Baron side.

It seems that you can take these with you by combining them with alchemy to make <>. To make them into <<>, you need the skills of an architect and a carpenter respectively. Will players be able to make them soon?　I don't have any friends who are woodworkers, so I don't have any information.

<, and red and blue <<<>, and the ranks that can be put in them are different. The red one must be made from <>.

If you bring <>, they are half price, and if you bring <><>, you only have to pay 500,000, plus the price of what you put in.

Fishing is a problem, I'll ask Leo.

The water polyp eggs are in storage, not knowing what to do with them, but let's go get some more before it gets too crowded. Better if we all go together anyway, we'll hold off till the night.

Well, what shall we do? The used bookstore is probably not open yet, and I wonder how Julius and Ruba are doing, but Julius seems to be urging me to show up.

I should go to the apothecary's guild and give Master Pieg the possession wards, then the secondhand bookstore will be open.

Decide on a course of action and start walking. As we start walking, Peter calls for help.

Peter: Homura, are you free?

Homura: Oh. If it's until dusk this time, we'll drop in for dinner afterwards.

Peter: I need your help.

Homura: Roger that. Where are you?

Peter: The Blue Dragon of Narn. I'll pick you up at Sir.

Today's schedule is set.
