12 Episode Twelve: I've Sold Salt and Pepper

This morning, Fell said he wanted the same steak as yesterday from morning, so he became the feather to make a ton of steaks in the morning.

That's carnivorous. Not half the meat we consume.

Good thing I still had the red bore meat this morning, but I ran out of that at Fell's breakfast too.

This has to come soon, but let Fell get his prey.

In that case, I'll have to sign up for the Adventurer Alliance.

If you go to the Merchant Guild and they buy salt and pepper, why don't you go to the Adventurer Guild?

You're going to be busy today.

By the way, my breakfast is a simple ham and cheese sandwich and onion soup.

That's right, the steak's been barbed in the morning.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

I'm coming to the Merchant Guild as planned.

Fell is with me because I'm going to go sign up for the Adventurer Guild after this.

At the desk was Mr. Michaela, who was in charge yesterday.

"Good morning, Michaela"

"Good morning, Master Mukoda"

"I came to ask you to buy what you said yesterday. I'd like to ask you for this."

That's what I said. I got a hemp bag with salt and a vessel with pepper out of the item box.

"I'll take a look. This is... excuse me for a moment"

Mr. Michaela took a seat looking at the pepper.

Was that pepper bad after all?

The earth used to trade in gold and pepper of the same weight, so 100 grams could have been a lot.

When Mr. Michaela returned a little bit, he said he would guide him to another room, so Fell asked him to wait and followed Mr. Michaela.

There was an old man in the room who was about fifties wide.

"Please sit here. My name is Robert and I am the guild master of our guild. Go ahead and get to know him."

Oh, is the Alliance Master here?

I wonder if it was pepper muzzle after all.

When another official leaves with my salt and pepper, the Alliance Master says, "I'll see you" and starts the test.

That's who became the guild master of the Merchant Alliance, confirming the flavors and aromas with a sharp eye.

"I've been involved in commerce for years too, but I've never seen salt and pepper of such good quality. Bright white clutter-free salt without cloudiness with vibrant aromas and flavors of pepper. All I'm saying is it's great."

Really? But when I bought that in an online supermarket, the salt was about 5 kilos and 5 copper coins, and the pepper was about the same price for 100 grams.

"We definitely want to buy it, but where did you get this?

Yes, it's an online supermarket. We guarantee quality because it is salt and pepper from different worlds.

Can you say that?

"Hey on the journey..."

Clouding the words, the Alliance Master said, "I was wild, wasn't I? You can't let a merchant leak a supplier," he laughed.

"So, for the amount, what about four pieces of salt and ten pieces of pepper?

"... Huh?

Ugh, you're lying, right? Even though the two principal values combined are about one silver coin, the salt is four gold coins? Ten gold peppers?

Uh, uh, uh, I knew salt and pepper were expensive in this world, but are they going to be that high?

"Is it still too low...... So how about 15 gold coins for two combined?

Whoa, the purchase price is up.

They thought you were reluctant to keep your mouth shut?

No, I'm just surprised.

"Ku... then it's seventeen gold coins in two. You can't raise it any more."

I don't know what the Alliance Master got wrong, but the purchase price went up again.

"Ha, ha. Well, that's fine."

Seventeen gold coins...

One dollar silver coin, that's 17 gold coins.

You're making a lot of money.

I asked you to bring it in so it wouldn't work again and again.

You'd be just as suspicious if you'd brought it in many times, so it would be the limit once per guild branch.

Still, it is gratifying to have the means to obtain a certain amount of money.

When I got 17 gold coins, I decided to pay the Iron Rank annual dues and taxes that were unpaid.

You should pay for this when you can.

I can't believe I haven't had any money since the deadline was near.

"One Iron Rank Annual Dues Gold and two Tax Gold Coins, we will certainly keep them"

Phew, this will be fine for a year.

Fourteen gold coins are in my pocket even if I pay my annual dues and taxes.

Twenty gold coins and five silver coins, a few copper coins and iron coins at a time when paired with the remaining handheld.

You're going to figure it out.

Well, I have an idea when it's not enough.

I hear that when you have a Merchant Alliance guild card, it's easy to trust when you wholesale it to another store.

I have an online supermarket, and I have a lot of wholesale products.

It's good to be in the Merchant Alliance.

Now, do you want to go sign up for the Adventurer Guild next?

I followed the Merchant Alliance where my nostalgia warmed with salt and pepper sales.
