I arrived in Fariere, the border city, the end of my journey.
When we entered the city, it seemed we had already been contacted by the fort, and with Fell we could get in without so much problems.
It wasn't as much as an immigration tax, but it kinda hurts that it cost me taxes again to get into the city (two silver coins for me and one silver coin for Fell).
Going around the gate, a messenger of Uncle Lindell's Borderline was waiting there, Mr. Werner said.
"Master Mukoda, right? My name is Edmond, and I'm using Mr. Lindell Borderline. Kind regards, As a matter of fact, Mr. Lindell Neighborhood would like to meet with Mr. Mukoda."
Uh, here you are, solicitation of enclosure.
But I don't want to see you.
This country isn't going to be around that long either.
Let's politely say no here.
"No, it's horrible that a traveler like me should meet Uncle Lindell Borderline."
"No, I'm sure Uncle Lindell will."
"No. No."
"Welcome, no. No, no, no, no, no. Come with me."
When me and Mr. Edmond were questioning each other, Fell stopped by there.
"Hey, you. Can't you see the Lord says he won't see you?
"This is, Fe, Master Fenrir. Fe, Master Fenrir must be with you."
That's what Mr. Edmond said when he gave Fell, who suddenly appeared, a frivolous but pulled smile.
"Humph, clever. I'm not going to see Uncle Borderline either. Anyway, my power is what this is all about, right? There have been fools like that in the past. '
"Yes, no, no, no, I don't mean to..."
'Don't lie to me. Do you want to know what happened to those stupid people who tried to use my powers? Hmm?'
"Hi, hi, no, no, no."
Mr. Edmond, fearful of Fell, who stripped his teeth out, screamed and ran away.
"Fell, too much"
"Oh, I'll punish those fools if I don't do it."
Heck, is that right?
"Lindell, are you all right imitating Uncle Borderline's messenger like that? Noble people take care of Fuko, so maybe they'll do something about it."
Mr. Werner's worries are good.
I didn't think Fell would go that far, either.
'Don't worry. If you're gonna do something, I'm gonna take it. "
Oh, I'm counting on you, Mr. Fell.
"Well, Master Fell is here, and are you okay there"
When Mr Werner said that, the other members of Iron Will nodded yeah too.
"I don't think you can fight Master Fell with noble private soldiers alone." (Franca)
"Franca's right. I think so too." (Rita)
"In other words, being Fell's opponent is about the ancient dragon." (Vincent)
"You can say that." (Ramon.)
The fantasy world is full of dragons.
I don't miss you at all, though.
"Mm, ancient dragon? Surely he's the only one who can cross with me equally."
"Huh? Master Fell, have you ever fought an ancient dragon?
Vincent eats in excitement.
About 400 years ago. I drew then, but I can't lose next '
"Wow, that's amazing! I wanted to see the battle between legendary warcraft."
"I wanted to see you too."
Vincent and Rita are thriving on something, but Franca and Mr. Ramon are laughing bitterly when they see it.
"Whoa, you guys calm down. I'll go and report to the Adventurer Alliance once Mr. Mukoda signs me off on the mission."
Mr Werner asked me to sign the report on completion of the mandate.
And when I tried to return the red bore meat I had kept, they asked me to replace the Rockbird material with the one that wasn't enough in the end, but to have it.
"At the end of the day, I even had red bore meat, and thank you all so much for your help. Thank you."
I couldn't have gotten this far without Iron Will's face.
"No, no, we had a good experience, and we had a delicious meal, so it was a good request with no complaints."
I'd appreciate it if you could say that.
"Thank you so much. Good day, everyone."
"Mr. Mukoda."
Iron Will's members walked away waving.
All right, the original purpose was achieved, but what do we do now?
I'm not going to stay in this country very long, but do I just keep registering for the guild here for now?
Mr. Werner said you should also sign up for the Adventurer Alliance, but this is my number one hope, the Merchant Alliance, first.
"Hey, Fell. We're going to the Merchant Alliance."
"Mm, are you going to be the Lord Merchant?
"Hope for once. But I'm also going to sign up for the Adventurer Guild. I want Fell to keep getting his meat, but I can't dismantle it or anything. Besides, selling the demonic material Fell gets will add to the cost of living. Demonic material, you can sell it, right?
'It doesn't matter because it's something I don't need. More than that, only rice wants something delicious'
"Yes, yes, I know."
Damn it, he's not a legendary warcraft, he's just a cannibal character, isn't he?
◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇
Me and Fell were coming to the Merchant Alliance.
When I brought Fell in, everyone was surprised and made a little noise, but I desperately explained that I was an obedient demon and managed to put the spot away.
So now I'm being briefed by the Merchant Guild at the desk.
The one who's in charge of me is Michaela, a blonde, beautifully eyed beauty.
Here's what Michaela explained to me.
-The Merchant Guild is a trans-national organization.
-The Merchant Guild has five ranks.
Iron Rank Pedestrians, Streets (People Doing Business Without Stores)
Bronze Rank - Personal Shops (Personal Shops such as City Butchers and 800 Shops)
Silverrank - Small Chamber of Commerce (the big Chamber there in the city)
Gold Rank - Medium Size Chamber of Commerce (Chamber of Commerce with several branches)
Mithrill Rank - Large Chamber of Commerce (Chamber of Commerce with numerous branches)
· Registration fees, annual membership fees and taxes vary according to rank.
Iron Rank - 5 Registered Silver Coins - 1 Annual Dues Coin - 2 Tax Coins
Bronze Rank - 1 Registered Gold Coin - 2 Annual Dues Gold Coins - 4 Tax Gold Coins
Silver Rank - 2 Registered Gold Coins - 5 Annual Dues Gold Coins - 10 Tax Gold Coins

-Annual dues and taxes shall be paid within one year of the date of accession.
· Membership is renewed every year using the date of first registration as the reference date. It is not renewed if the annual dues and taxes are outstanding.
· The taxes collected are paid by the Merchant Guild to each country under its responsibility.
-If you lose your guild card for each rank, the fee for reissuing will vary by rank.
-If you engage in illegal business transactions, you may be removed from the Merchant Alliance.
At first, it is possible to register at the iron rank and gradually increase the rank.
· Please contact us whenever you have any problems with stores, equipment investment, product purchases, etc.
That's the Merchant Alliance.
He gave me a cordial and polite explanation of what I wanted to know.
"So, what form of business does Master Mukoda think of?
I mean, there's Fell, and I want to look around this world, so I don't have a store at the moment.
I guess that would be the iron rank.
"I also have a submissive demon, and I don't plan to have a store at the moment, so I think the Iron Rank is pretty good, so I'd like to register for Iron Rank"
"Thank you. You will now receive five registered silver coins, are you sure you want to proceed with the registration process?
The nostalgia is tough, but if there are five pieces of silver, there is nothing you can't pay, so I ask you to keep the process going.
"Now this will be Master Mukoda's Ironrank Alliance Card. As explained earlier, there will be a fee for reissue if it is lost. Eight silver coins for iron rank, so watch out for loss."
Eight silver coins, or don't be so cool. We have to be careful not to lose it.
Oh, I just wanted to ask you something.
"Um, I'd like to ask you, are you buying here? Actually, I got a few things on my journey..."
"Is it a purchase? Depends, but we do."
By something, or that's a merchant's guild. I guess I have eyes for it.
Salt and pepper are the ones I want you to buy.
This probably won't be a problem.
"Then I'll come back tomorrow with what I want to buy"
"I'll be waiting for you. Thank you for registering today"
I remember trying to get behind the Merchant Guild feeling good about polite handling.
At the Inn today, I forgot to ask where my squire could stay with me.
I hurried back to the desk and asked Mr. Michaela.
The best place to stay with the devil was at the Jumping Horse Pavilion.
He also politely told me where it was so I quickly headed to the "Jumping Horse Pavilion" with Fell.
