Comer City Adventurer’s Guild’s war

Comer City Adventurer’s Guild’s warehouse. This was the place where the materials, that adventurers gathered from monsters, were stored and managed. There were even jewelry, precious herbs and unique decorations.

Within the large warehouse, a receptionist was hurriedly moving. She was packing some things and judging from the way she worked, she hadn’t stayed there for a long time.

“Why do I have to do this thing… huhuhu, alone, in this quiet place.”
“Rebecca, please stop whining!”

At the warehouse, Edda was supervising Rebecca work. Even a few years woudn’t be enough to finish all the work alone. Furthermore, due to dealings with expensive items, not anyone could enter this place. Hence entering the warehouse was a sign of their position within the guild. Most of the people that could enter this place were tied up by a contract magic. The slave collar they wore, acted as a contract. For the guild officials, it wasn’t as strong as the slave collar but it still didn’t have any loophole.

Mofisu was also there. He was examining the things that were brought back by the adventurers such as monster materials and jewelry.

“Uncle? Why are you here?”
“Edda, can you show me the things that Yu brought back?”

By Mofisu’s order, Edda took out some things and arranged it on top of the desk. Branches of a ⌈Sacred Tree⌋, Yurutesu grass, ⌈Treant⌋’s sap, roots of 「Dorubora」, and even monsters’ materials of rank 4 and 5.

Although most of them were expensive loot, one of the most important one was the ⌈Treant⌋’s sap and roots of 「Dorubora」. Because the two were used to create medicine and no other place around Comer city provided the materials.

Although Edda noticed some magic stones, however they were after all common loot. The Merchant guild and Alchemy guild could get magic stones easily, unlike the other two items.

“Yu-chan really brought back these precious things. I wonder when will he reach B rank.” (Edda)
“Really, calling his nickname like that, don’t you think that it’s not suitable for your age?” (Mofisu)
“Your joke is funny.” (Edda)

She said that without any emotion but just a few moments later, some of the only few hairs on Mofisu’s head fell out.

“Guhaha, that was a joke. Why go so far as to harm my hair? Indeed, these goods aren’t available in the market so Yu’s name may be spreading even until the Capital.”

“Oh, but I don’t think he wants that to happen.”

“Do you think adventurers don’t want to be famous?”

“We better start to move the goods. Some nobles even came to Comer city to purchase the goods. Some even came from outside Houdon kingdom.”

“Well, once a product becomes a rare commodity, many buyers don’t want to miss the chance to acquire it.”

Mofisu was also an adventurer in his younger days so he understood how things worked. The guild so far had bought everything that Yu brought back. Although not all of them were profitable but still some items he brought back were rare. Mofisu on the other hand had to buy even the useless things he brought back. That’s why some of the way to make money were to sell the rare loot even if it drew in buyers from another kingdom.

“By the way guild master, what is that bottle that is hanging on your neck?”

Edda was curious when she saw a small bottle hanging around Mofisu’s neck. It was strange enough to make him exaggerate the importance of the item.

“This? This is the plants’ concentrate that Yu made. This is the real deal!”

Edda’s eyes narrowed as she was disappointed with his answer. As a woman, Edda knew no woman would find Mofisu appealing even if his hair grew back.

“So, is that really effective?”

“Of course… look at my hair.”

“So, is that from Yu?”

Mofisu’s face was sweating like a waterfall because of Edda’s question.

“This is the real deal, made from concentrated plants’ essence.”

“Oh, so that’s from Yu-chan? I just thought that if somehow, by any chance, even if it’s unlikely, an adventurer came and presented it like some kind of…bribe?”
