Chapter 238: No doubt about it….

Immediately answering to surprised Yasutoki, he continued.

"Actually... earlier at Virgo port, saw departure arrival display board, but afternoon six o’clock departing Virgo, Corvus bound cargo passenger ship’s departure schedule loaded."

When walking inside Virgo port after getting off Gadalbaroha, talked to by Uraka who saw the departure arrival display board, he.

"Pegasus bound flight there right? If case unable to ride Gadalbaroha on return, fine riding that."

Pegasus the big city east of Aquila. Not labyrinth city, but quite big city.

"Between Virgo and Pegasus, regular flights operating. Stopping at various autonomous cities including Aquila in between, so if riding Pegasus bound ship, can return to Aquila."

While explained by Uraka, the departure arrival display board seen displayed the departure time of Pegasus bound passenger ship. Then, right below Pegasus bound, the departure time of Corvus bound cargo passenger ship displayed.

Incidentally saw Corvus bound flight with Pegasus bound flight, so he knowing Corvus bound cargo passenger ship departing at afternoon six o’clock.

"Reason to delay departure first, something?"

Asked by him, Yasutoki shook head side to side.

"No work from tomorrow, really... nothing."

In somewhat self-mocking tone, Yasutoki added.

"No opponent to go say farewell greeting."

"Is that..."

"Ah, but have to go get luggage."

"Go get, where living?"

"About this half month, at place called Heze Training Camp, tent living."

"Eh? You also living there?"

"You also, him too?"

"Before coming here, just put up tent."

"Is that so."

"Then immediately, go to Heze Training Camp."

At his words, Yasutoki nodded. Toward the entrance exit gate of Dungeon Gate Park, he and Yasutoki began walking.

"However, as Yuri said."

Hearing Yasutoki’s mutter, he asked.

"What?"

"Eyes and mouth bad, but him type that helps when seeing troubled people, good guy."

(That guy, said to others than me?)

He inwardly felt embarrassed and itchy.

"Speaking of Yuri, that guy how? Not together?"

"Yuri in Aquila. This time urgent business in Virgo, so me alone hurried came."

"Urgent business?"

Asked, Yasutoki rephrased.

"Ah, no... if thing cannot talk, fine not saying."

"Came to cooperate in searching for the criminal who used Hell Gate. Me since had life saved by Iron Maiden people, with intention of repaying favor."

"Ah, participating in that Black Roller operation?"

"That."

He showed Yasutoki the Black Ring fitted on left hand’s middle finger.

"...By the way, if living in Heze Training Camp, teach tips for living there or things better careful."

"If that, maybe some things can teach."

Yasutoki considered a little then began talking one of the tips.

"Shower numbers few, so mostly crowded and many times unusable, but if preparing swimsuit and sandals and towel..."

While variously talking about life at Heze Training Camp, the two continued walking Gateway Park. Then, passing under the brick-built gate, stepped into Buyer Street and walked toward the tram stop.

Buyer Street dyed by the setting sun showing quite liveliness. Many adventurers bringing goods obtained in dungeon to buyer shops to cash, or purchasing for replenishing damaged equipment in work.

Of course, many adventurers and ordinary people enjoying meals and shopping. Buyer Street many shops for adventurers, but more shops for general people.

From such Buyer Street, a little entering side road back street, one building standing. Four-story concrete-made building, "Escoda Trading" sign raised.

Building’s first floor part the shop buying items and magic stones from adventurers, second floor part the shop selling items and such. Shop of back street building, but popular shop not losing to front street shops.

Third floor and fourth floor ordinary customers cannot enter and exit, having offices and work rooms and such, and one corner of fourth floor having chairman’s room. Desk and chairs for work and reception set, cabinets containing various things, all good taste and high-class feel.

On walls swords and gauntlets and such weapons decorated like artworks. The chairman of Escoda Trading operating shop for adventurers originally active as swordsman, so decorating weapons beloved in adventurer era.

The chairman the room’s master sitting on the chair of the work desk, while glowing eyes staring at metal medal. Glowing eyes because activating appraisal type skill.

The chairman retired as adventurer already over ten years passed, now mid-fifties, but still continuing training to degree not dulling body. That was why maintaining body not losing to active adventurers, to degree not looking like businessman.

Tall height reaching two meters, muscular and sturdy body build. Such body matching stern face.

Sharp eye color same silver as short hair. Skin color like sunburned, flax linen slacks and white short sleeve open collar shirt suiting.

"No mistake, unused Silver Medallion... moreover five."

The medal the chairman holding... Silver Medallion one, but on the desk other same medals four placed. Near the medals, several magic stones also placed.

"Current market... if guild or other shops purchase price, one five million Deil, total twenty-five million Deil or so, but here can put out twenty-seven million."

After saying so, the chairman looked up right upper and asked.

"Totaling with magic stones, twenty-eight million or so, what do?"

What the chairman asked the woman in white short sleeve shirt and black slacks boldly sitting on the desk... Makia.

"Right..."

Makia considered a little then answered the chairman.

"Receive only one hundred thousand, and put the rest to compensation."

"Understood, immediately prepare."

The chairman took out one paper from the drawer. Taking fountain pen from the pen stand on the desk, wrote the content of items and magic stones and purchase amount, amount to hand over and such, the chairman.

The chairman held out the paper... document and pen to Makia.

"Sign this."

Makia provisionally confirmed the document’s text then placed on the desk and signed the document. The contract document selling items and magic stones to the buyer Escoda Trading, and for Makia frequently coming to sell, only familiar work.

Meanwhile, the chairman chanted spell and activated magic, released the theft prevention magic applied to the desk’s drawer. Continuing chanted spell, this time released the same kind magic applied to the safe inside the drawer.

Taking out one hundred thousand Deil portion bills from inside the safe, the chairman chanted spell and applied theft prevention magic again to the safe and drawer.

"Diego... for swordsman, good at magic right."

Makia while looking at the chairman... Diego Escoda using magic, put frank impressions in mouth.

"After retiring as adventurer, trained and remembered. Magic variously useful in business."

As understood from chanting spell and using magic, Diego adventurer with orb on left hand’s back. Currently retired from active, so in meaning of occupation for obtaining living, already not adventurer but businessman.

"One hundred thousand Deil, confirm."

Makia confirmed the received bills one hundred thousand Deil portion then casually thrust into the back pocket of slacks.

"With this remaining compensation, how much became? About three hundred million more?"

"Roughly saying, that degree."

"If about three hundred million, until payment ends, not even one month?"

From recent dungeon’s average earning pace and remaining compensation amount, Makia roughly calculated.

"Due to accidentally erasing your outside wall warehouse, this stay became longer than planned, but seeming able to return to hometown without seeing autumn."

Outside wall warehouse the warehouse outside Virgo’s city walls. Some buyers having warehouses outside Virgo’s city walls.

Among various items discovered inside dungeon, some hard to handle and dangerous things existing. Such items regulated for storage inside Virgo’s city walls.

There, buyers handling such items making warehouses outside the city walls and storing. Of course, while applying thorough defense with super powerful defensive barrier fields, not exerting danger to surroundings, and arranging crime prevention system.

Escoda Trading also having outside wall warehouse for storing dangerous goods. But that outside wall warehouse three months ago completely erased without trace.

Since unmanned, no victims, but including warehouse cost tens of billions Deil large damage occurred to Escoda Trading. Not only Escoda Trading, autonomous police and guild and such investigated the cause.

But since everything erased, no evidence existing at all, so even investigating cause not known. In the end, becoming that the cause of destruction probably attack by Brigadier rank monster that passed near Virgo, and investigation factually discontinued.

The destroyed outside wall warehouse protected by powerful defense means. Exactly, if not attack of Brigadier rank or higher monsters, state unable to destroy.

Using precious defense magic items, such level defense realized. That was why could only think destroyed by passing Brigadier rank or higher monster.

But several days after investigation discontinued, in front of Diego the chairman of Escoda Trading holding head at large damage, one woman... Makia appeared. Makia said out that the one who destroyed the outside wall warehouse was self.
