[Well, I’ll be going off for a bit, please wait on the Nimbus Cloud again.] (Varius)
[Ahh] (Caucasus)
[Yeah, yeah] (Beelzebub)
I had both of them standby in the airspace above…and entered the guild.
The adventurers started making a ruckus the moment entered…well, I guess it’s something I’ll get used to after a while. Without minding it too much, I lined up at the [Requests/Achievement Reports/Materials Purchasing] counter.
My turn came a few minutes later.
[I came to give a report regarding the [Gathering Luna Metal] request.] (Varius)
I handed my guild card over to the receptionist lady.
After I did so… The receptionist lady alternated her gaze between my guild card and my face, and broke into a smile.
[Varius-san! You’re alive!] (Receptionist)
……Oh yeah.
The round trip to the moon and back did take up quite some time.
She probably thought that I got hit by the arrow and died.
[How many days has it been since I took the request again?] (Varius)
I asked as I have lost my sense of time.
[It’s been 9 days! It seems like the other adventurers were worried as well you know? Saying things like “That Sage, did he get hit by the arrow and die?”] (Receptionist)
……So that’s it.
The reason the adventurers were making a ruckus was likely not because of my hair colour, but due to my safe return.
[Well then, you came to give a report on the Luna Metal gathering request? How much did you manage to gather?] (Receptionist)
The receptionist was all smiles as she asked me.
Now then, how should I reply?
Taking all 4 tonnes out is out of the question, but even if I bring out a small amount, I wouldn’t know how much they would allow me to sell…… Guess It’s best if I just ask.
[Rather than that, could you tell me what’s the sales limit?] (Varius)
The receptionist had a surprised look on her face in response to the question.
[Eh…We haven’t even thought of a limit for it. Well anyway, I don’t think the limit will be reached anyway, why not bring them out first?]
In the end, I didn’t manage to get an exact limit.
Oh well.
For now, it should be fine if I just pile the materials on the counter and observe what happens next.
Thinking so, I pulled out around 50kg worth of Luna Metal using Storage Magic.
When I did that, the receptionist who was forcing a smile despite her bewilderment, finally lost even that business smile.
[….H,huh? I feel like I’m seeing an unbelievable amount of Luna Metal….] Receptionist
The receptionist repeatedly rubbed both her eyes looking at the pile of Luna Metal…It’s my first time seeing someone doing so.
[Since I was seriously focused on gathering the Luna Metal for 9 days, it ended up being this much] (Varius)
The receptionist sighed.
…..No good, no good.
If this continues, I will be thought of only possessing this amount of Luna Metal.
[Umm…..Actually, the Luna Metal I have is close to 80 times of this…] (Varius)
[….Eh? What did you say?] (Receptionist)
[80 times. Even so, has this amount still not hit the purchasing limit?] (Varius)
After I said that to her…the receptionist got up and ran further inside the building.
After a while, the receptionist returned with a middle-aged man.
[That is…are you saying those are the Luna Metals brought in by the Sage in question?] (Man)
The man’s eyes went wide looking at the pile of Luna Metal.
[Yes. Furthermore, from what Varius-san said, it seems that he has “Around 80 times this amount” ….] (Receptionist)
[H-m, well it’s true that with that amount, the Guild’s funds will hit rock bottom.] (Man)
The man tapped his forehead while agonizing over it after speaking with the receptionist.
As he was doing so, the receptionist shot me a question.
[Um…exactly where did you obtain this amount of Lunametal?] (Receptionist)
For a moment, I was at a loss on how to answer her.
Even if I said “I went to the moon”, the discussion would just conclude with me saying something along the lines of “It’s up to you whether you believe it or not”…
On the other hand, if I lie, it would be bad if that lie spreads to the other adventurers.
After some deliberation, I decided to tell the truth while blurring out the important parts.
[Speaking of gathering the Luna Metal, wasn’t there mention of an arrow flying out of nowhere when one attempts to gather it?] Varius
[That’s right.] (Receptionist)
[I had identified the person who shot it. It seems that the person lost the means of returning home…and as a reward for bringing that person home, I received the Luna Metal. ] (Varius)
I did not lie.
It’s just that I did not reveal that the “home” was in fact in outer space.
[T…..That’s amazing…] (Receptionist)
The receptionist was at a loss for words.
It seems that I properly dodged the question, that’s one thing settled.
A short while after that discussion…the man came to a decision.
[Varius-kun, for now, we would like to purchase twice the amount that you have placed here. Would that be fine?] (Man)
[Understood] (Varius)
With that, I took the additional Luna Metal out from my storage magic and ended up selling 120kg worth of it.
I thought it was about 100kg…but it looks like they were heavier than I thought.
After determining that no other ores were mixed in and following by some standard procedures, I received a payment of 24 million Zol.
Before leaving, I casually asked the receptionist a question.
[In the end, what would Luna Metal be used for?] (Varius)
[Let’s see. This is only hearsay but…there’s a rumour saying that a certain noble has used it as the material for his sword. Well, it seems to be purely ornamental though.] (Receptionist)
[I see.] (Varius)
That wasn’t much of a reference.
Let’s see…while I’m at it, I might as well ask Artemis.
