The Magician Kunon sees everything - Chapter 69

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

 

“This is Philea.”

 

“This is Jirni.”

 

It was afternoon when the prototype of the grimoire was completed.

 

Kunon and Suleya had a lively discussion about improvements and ideas, but there was no change in the schedule.

 

Of course, they had written down the improvements and ideas and would discuss them again later.

In the afternoon, it was time to go to the sales pitch.

For the saint, this is the beginning of the real work.

 

She was to be accompanied by two maidens who would also serve as her escorts.

 

They were Philea and Jirni.

 

Philea is a woman over thirty years old. She is a skilled magician.

She is probably a wind magician, as there seem to be several round water spheres floating around her. If that is magic, it is water, but if it is not – something non-living, surely.

 

Jirni is a well-trained woman around 20 years old.

She must not be a sorceress, because she has a tack-like thorn growing out of her right shoulder, through her chambermaid’s uniform – part of something is surfacing.

 

“It is a pleasure to meet you, my name is Kunon. Please allow me to introduce myself as a good friend of Mistress Reyes. Well, Mistress Reyes is lucky to have two such lovely maidens. I envy her. By the way, have you had lunch yet? If I can take three charming ladies to lunch, I’d be the luckiest man in the world today. Will you make me the luckiest man in the world?”

 

It was quite a greeting from the start.

However, the maidens did not react well, and they all said, “Please take good care of her,” in chorus.

 

The saint had already told them about Kunon’s character.

 

-She had told them that they should accept or let go of anything Kunon said, rather than repel him.

 

The maidens were surprised.

 

The saint, who has a few emotional ups and downs, is a passive participant in her attitude, language, and arguments.

Her attitude, language, and arguments were all based on what she was told to do, not on her own thoughts.

She is a by-the-book, measured person.

 

This saintly woman, with such a thin sense of humanity, talked about how to deal with certain people.

She talked about how to be flexible and keep relationships smooth.

 

It was about a boy named Kunon.

 

What is normal for some people is different for the saint.

I can’t judge whether it was good or bad, but this was, without a doubt, her personal growth.

 

-Aside from Kunon’s greeting, the four of us decided to head to the place where the sale was to take place.

 

Lunch was to be served after the talk.

 

The saint, whose food budget has become tight these days, and Philea and Jirni, whose salaries are a little overdue, were willing to accept anything as long as they were treated to a meal.

 

They were going to eat all kinds of delicious and expensive food.

They also wanted to drink something.

 

“I’m not going to get into Reyes’ policies. But I’d like to hear why you’re interested in selling here.”

 

The first place he came to was the Adventurers’ Guild.

 

The guilds that Kunon was considering selling to were the herb guild, the alchemy guild, and the commerce guild.

He expected that these three guilds would be able to accurately recognize the value of the prototype.

As long as the value was conveyed, negotiations would go well.

 

And yet, the saint brought me to the Adventurers’ Guild.

 

The Adventurers’ Guild.

Well, as a magician, it’s hard to say that this is a place I have no connection to.

 

But I didn’t expect to come here first.

I had thought that a magic guild might be nice, but this place was completely unexpected.

 

“Jirni, please explain.”

 

“Okay.”

 

Kunon’s questions seemed to be answered by Jirni.

 

“If the new magical tool is a wound healing medicine, I thought the most likely place to find demand for it would be in the Adventurers’ Guild.”

 

That is to be expected, since the spirit plant Shi Shirura is a well-known ingredient in wound medicines.

 

“As a former adventurer myself, I know how much people appreciate fast-acting wound medicines. Besides, I have a little more influence here, so I think it will be easier for me to negotiate.”

 

Incidentally, if it were not for the wound medicine, he was planning to take it to the medicine guild or the alchemy guild.

 

“To be honest, if you go through the herb guild, alchemy guild, or commercial guild, there are middlemen and intermediary fees…… As a former adventurer, when it comes to life-saving medicines, there is nothing better than getting them cheap. I am a former adventurer and I would like to get the medicine that will save my life. That’s why I want individuals to deal directly with the Adventurers’ Guild.”

 

“I see. You have a beautiful voice.”

Kunon was convinced.

 

Certainly, it would be easier for the Adventurers’ Guild to trade directly with the guilds than through the guilds.

It is what is called direct delivery from the place of origin.

 

“Is that all right with you, Miss Reyes? We might be able to make more money by going through other guilds.”

 

“That’s the registration fee for each guild, the commissions, the taxes on the transaction value. When you take those into account, even if you sell at a high price, there is a lot that is taken away later.

Then, you might make more money by trading privately. And if you are dealing with the Adventurers’ Guild, they probably won’t overstep their bounds.”

 

“I see. If you’ve thought it through and made your choice, there’s nothing more from me. Anyway, you have a beautiful voice.”

 

The four of them stepped into the Adventurers’ Guild.

 

The magical city of Dilashick is a city full of sorcerers.

 

Despite being surrounded by the powerful nations of the Empire, the Holy Church, and the New Kingdom, the city has refused invasion wars and absorption and merger negotiations, and still maintains its independence – a city that is still independent.

 

No, perhaps it can already be called a country.

Although it does not have the appearance of a country, it has its own autonomy and rules.

 

That is why it is now in contact with the three surrounding powerful countries.

 

Well, putting that aside, this is a town full of magicians.

 

” So this is the Adventurers Guild, huh? I’ve never been here before. Where is Miss Reyes?”

 

“Me neither.”

 

The eyes of the adventurers who had been spending time in the guild glittered at the children who had come to an unusual place.

 

-Even a child is a magician.

 

There are no fearless adventurers in this town who would try to get involved with a sorcerer.

 

More to the point, he could become a client or a fellow adventurer in the future.

There is no need to charm them, but we don’t want to leave a bad impression.

 

It is a city full of magicians, not just any magicians.

It is the home of the world’s most famous magician, Gray Lewa.

 

It would be very difficult to live if the magicians disliked him.

He had already spoken to them.

The receptionist led Kunon and the others to the back of the house as soon as she saw them arrive.

 

They waited for a while in the room they were led to.

 

“Thank you for waiting.”

 

Before Kunon could begin to woo the ladies, a tall, skinny man arrived.

 

“I am Asando Smith, head of the accounting department of the Adventurers’ Guild, Dilashick Branch. The guild master is out of town, so …… I will speak with you.”

 

The saint, Kunon and the others also introduced themselves, and the business negotiations began immediately.

 

“I see.”

 

Asando nodded deeply as he observed the prototype pills in detail.

 

I knew that since Jirni brought this story to us, there would be no hassles. It’s exactly what I expected.

 

For the time being, it seems to be in the category of what Asando wants.

 

Seeing his reaction, the saintly woman delivers her sales pitch.

 

“The medicine can be made from 10 to 11 pieces from a single bottle of the sacred herb Shi Shirura. The price of one bottle of Shi Shirura ranges from 500,000 to 1 million Nekka plus shipping costs, which is about 1,200,000 yen.

When you add in the processing costs-“

 

“If you add up all the pills, it’s about 1,500,000 to 200,000.”

 

Here it comes.

Here it comes!

It’s here!

 

The saint’s expression did not change, but a light shone in her heart.

 

Finally, finally.

At last, the time had come to put an end to their financial problems!

 

“May I have a word?”

 

“Yes?”

 

Kunon, who had been standing next to the saint all this time watching her, said something like this.

 

“The medicine is still a prototype. It has just been developed. It can be used for three to six months, but that’s only in theory, and we haven’t tested it yet. In fact, it may not last that long.”

 

He continued, “……Oh, well, that changes the whole premise…”

 

Yes, it does.

 

The wound medicine made from the spirit plant Shi Shirura has the effect of recovery magic tension.

It is fast-acting and heals even life-threatening injuries.

 

It is an essential item for adventurers who are always suffering from injuries.

 

However, the problem with Shi Shirura is that it does not last long once it is made into a medicine.

 

Because it is a wound medicine that solves that problem, Asando found value in the pills brought by the saint.

If not, then the value is diminished.

 

“Then there would be no reason for us to take it back.”

 

Or rather, it will no longer be something we want right now.

After a few days anyway, it will lose its value as it nears its expiration date.

 

“……Kunon ……?”

The saint’s call, which once again casts a dark cloud over the money issue, is met with a gentle laugh and a nod from Kunon.

 

“It’s all right,” she said.

 

“I think the important thing here is the right to make a deal.”

 

“…… the right?”

 

“Yes. If Mr. Asando doesn’t agree to the deal, we’ll go to the next one with a prototype of what might be a long-lasting wound medicine.”

 

In short, there is no need to sell it to another adventurer’s guild.

 

It may be defective, it may not be.

 

But-

 

“-That’s right. The value here is not in the pills that might have problems, but in the pills that might solve the problems, and whether they will sell them to the Adventurer’s Guild.

In other words, you’re talking about whether or not we should secure the right to buy them here and now.”

 

From Asando’s point of view, this is a gamble.

 

But it is a big bet if he wins.

 

Even if the pills were defective, it would be a small price to pay to be associated with, or more specifically, to owe a debt to, the saintly woman, Reyes, whose name is Sainte-Claude of the Holy Land.

And, by the way, to Jirni, who rang in as an adventurer.

And to Kunon, who is next to the saint.

 

Asando has heard rumors that he is a disciple of that Zeonly..

I still don’t know if it’s a good thing or not.

 

“I understand.”

Asando made his decision.

 

“I would like to purchase a subscription of at least one bottle of Shi Shirura once a month. The contract is for three months. Beyond that, I will decide whether or not to renew each time.

For each bottle of Shi Shirura, I will pay you 2 million Nekka.”

 

Two million.

A three-month contract means that for the next three months, they would receive two million Nekka per month.

 

And if additional purchase requests come in, add another two million each……!

 

The saint unknowingly balled her fist.

 

She would get her money.

The problem that had plagued her for more than a month would be solved.

Tomorrow’s meal will be splendid.

 

How could she not be sweating?

 

“Miss Reyes, is that all right?”

 

“Yes, of course. Let’s get the contract signed, quickly.”

The saint was excited, although it was not obvious to the casual observer.

 

“Oh, by the way, Mr. Asando.”

 

“Yes?”

 

After successfully signing the paperwork and shaking hands, it was time to go home.

 

Kunon said, “The prototype will dissolve in hot water. But we can lower the melting temperature.”

 

“…… Yes?”

What are you talking about?

Everyone in the room looked at Kunon with puzzlement as he suddenly broached the subject in a way they could not understand.

 

“In other words, we process the medicine like thin paper. We paste the papery medicine on the injury. Then-“

 

“…!”

Asando’s eyes widened and he kicked his chair and stood up.

 

“No way, it dissolves in blood! You can use the medicine without the hassle of dissolving it in hot water!”

 

Groundbreaking.

The extended life of Shi Shirura’s wound medicine is a fortuitous thing to hope for.

 

However, this newly brought idea…

 

It’s the possibility of being able to treat people with ease, even in a battle.

 

The chances of surviving a fatal injury would increase.

In fact, it may even allow you to continue fighting.

 

– It’s a frightening idea that could even change the value of the spirit plant, Shi Shirura.

 

“It will be difficult to preserve, but theoretically it is not impossible. It’s rather easy.”

 

“Mr. Kunon! The idea! That prototype! I’ll buy it for three million….. or five million! Bring it to the Adventurers’ Guild first!”

 

“Oh, I see. Then, let’s make a contract……. Oh, you go ahead, Miss Reyes and the others. I’ll go after. Oh, and you should decide where you want to go for lunch.”

 

“…………”

 

The saintly woman thought to herself, ” As expected of Kunon.”

 

“…………”

 

He wasn’t just a weird kid.

The maids of honor had changed their perception of Kunon. Read the most updated version of this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at Novel Multiverse – “NovelMultiverse dot com”
