Chapter 46
Today I'm preparing various pre-made materials at the 『Shut-in Lamia』 as I plan to break through dungeon's 5F soon . I made Sefi-san to take her work as a shopkeeper seriously . She looked like she was sulking a bit though . . .
Right at then .
"Hello there, Sefirot-kun . Sorry for intruding in . "
Hm? That voice sounded familiar somehow . The voice of an invited guest .
I peek at the storefront from the back, and saw a man nearing old age leading his henchmen . He looks like an elderly gentleman outwardly, but I know I cannot judge a book by its cover in this case just by looking at the sharp glint in his eyes . This guy is Jamito . The manager of the most prosperous alchemy store in this city .
"Oh my, Jamito-san . What brings you here today?"
"Huhu, oh it's nothing much, I'm just here to inspect how a store that's among the most popular in Alchemy Guild is doing . "
"Oh no, you're giving us too much credit~ . We're the same always . "
"No no, aren't your new products getting pretty popular . They're highly regarded among the adventurers who use them . "
"My, we're honored to receive such praise from this city's best alchemy shop's manager . "
Then suddenly, Jamito's eyes turned sharper than ever . Here comes the real thing .
"As a matter of fact, I'd like to discuss that with you, would you like to mass produce those for my store? If we work together, monopolizing the entire market in the dukedom won't merely be a dream . "
Look, here it is . But really, this guy doesn't even bother to hide his ambition . And yet, he's raring to use Sefi-san . It's pretty obvious he's going to dump her once he's done with her .
"I'm truly sorry, but my answer has not changed~ . The only one who can mass produce those is our only partner . I cannot do it . "
"That's unfortunate . Then I guess I'll go and appeal to that partner of yours . I'll be expecting positive answers . It's that adventurer boy who's been coming here a lot isn't it? Someone of that age should be easy to tempt with either money, liquor, or women . "
Sefi-san must have glared at Jamito-san after hearing that . Yet Jamito didn't flinch at all . Not even a trace of it .
Well, since it doesn't seem like he's going to bow out here, I should make my entrance .
"Sefi-san, it's pretty noisy here, is there something wrong?"
"Nobu-chan . . . "
"Hou, so you're the rumored developer . Nice to meet you, my name's Jamito . I manage the alchemy store 『Giant of Gryphios』 in this city . "
"Oh, I've heard, quite a lot, things about you . The name's Nobusada . I am but a humble adventurer . "
"Fumu, no need to beat around the bush then . How about it, interested in working at our store? I'll prepare anything you want, be it women, money or anything . "
"I decline . I don't think you can provide the things I want . "
"Haahaahaa, prompt answer huh . I see that you're quite infatuated with Sefirot-kun . . . Well, I'd advise you to change your mind quick . And I recommend you do so while we're still acting in modesty . "
He came here in haste to either recruit or remove us because we launched new products huh . I decreased the effectiveness to avoid all this, but I guess this guy didn't get the memo . Now that they're threatening us, I've got no choice but to prepare some measures to defend ourselves .
"I'm the only one who can make that, so there's a limit to how many you can produce, it's not possible to manufacture . I'd prefer if you give it up . "
In actuality, it is possible in times . But there's no way I'm telling this guy .
"I have no idea what kind of method you're using, but that doesn't mean it's impossible . I hate the words 'give up', you see . I will be excusing myself today . Let us meet again somewhere . "
Jamito left after saying that .
I don't want to see you again though . He had six people guarding him . Averaging at level 23 huh . Looks like I need immediate improvements on my level and techniques . I need to obtain either power or techniques to easily neutralize those guys at least . I'm extremely lacking experience in group battle after all .
Looking at Sefi-san, she's biting her lips like she's enduring something .
