I wrapped the crystal in a towel before putting it inside the bag and left the temple.
In the end, there didn’t seem to be any way to search for the priestess-chan so I will just give up on it.
It is essential for humans to give up. The change of feelings quickly will also make a difference in work. Granny have also said it before.
Well then, since priestess-chan is not around, the only person whom I can count on to gather more information are Toby-shi from the Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the oyaji from the weapon shop……
Toby-shi was told that I am Rebecca-san’s nephew previously. Although I think he has already found out that it was a lie……
But anyway I do have something that I need to know from Toby-shi so I made my way towards the Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
After arriving at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry I finally realized it. I have the guild card already so I didn’t need to specifically ask for Toby-shi. I could also ask for the other normal staff (preferably woman) since it wouldn’t be a problem.
I’m actually glad. Speaking to a guy with penetrating glance like him alone will only shorten my lifespan.
And so I went to the guild reception, presented my guild card and told them that I would like to begin my trading so I require consultation before I begin.
When I explained it, the lady receptionist (Semi long hair, good natured woman with a homely face. Estimated age about 26 years old) gave me the advice on it. I was guided to a seat at a different place that seemed to be a consultation area and begin our conversation there.
“………So to begin, I have actually been attached by robbers on my way to this city and part of my memories were lost. So there are a lot of things that I’m not sure about. There are some basic parts that I might have heard of already but I’ll be counting on you.” [Ayase]
“Well,….sounds like you had a hard time. If there are any questions that you would like to know then I will do my best to answer if it is within my knowledge.” [receptionist]
It seems like I have gotten accustomed to using this memory loss as a setting. The lie came out so easily now so I would like to think that it was not due to my nature but this was the fault of the vocation; Swindler instead.
I am actually a good and obedient child. There were few people previously who were also employees in the same black company that I entered but almost all of them couldn’t go through their conscience and quit almost immediately one after another. In the end the only ones who lasted for one year apart from me were two other guys but it was harmless.
“First of all, in this city or in the outskirt area, where should I go to if I want to inquire information on houses? It’s good to start up my business in this city but I don’t have a base here and I don’t want to keep staying in an inn too.” [Ayase]
“House is it? If it is within the city, you can look for the ones owned by the guild since there are some of them who are looking for tenants for those private properties. The houses built in the suburbs are quite hard since many of the land ownerships are vague. There is some truth in the saying ‘First come, first served’. At the same time, living in the village in the suburbs is not advisable. You will end up being tied to the village rule. To be more concise, it will be a hindrance to your merchant’s duty.” [receptionist]
“I see……For example, what if the place is outside the village, in an abandoned house where no one lives?” [Ayase]
“Are you talking about an abandoned house? It depends on the location but if the house was deserted for a long time now, I think it should be fine staying there. I think it might need a lot of repair though…. Do you have interest in any particular residence already?” [receptionist]
“Yeah, kinda…… So if I decide to stay there, will I be able to get any kind of document as proof from the guild to assure that the house belongs to me? Even though it is a deserted house, I am still anxious to stay there and above all the repair cost is really high. I am quite troubled if I can think of it as my house yet whenever I return.” [Ayase]
As I have expected she didn’t have much knowledge in that area too so she tried asking her superior about it. To be frank, that house is my main concern. I have a feeling that if I didn’t make that house as my own first, I wouldn’t be able to sleep well.
