I Shall Survive Using Potions!

In the conference room, I explained the situation once again to the guildmaster, who suddenly became unaware of the attack of the merchant.

The members in the meeting room are me, the "Scorching Battle Maiden", the merchant, the commercial guild Gilmouth and Deputy Gilmouth, the appraiser, and the receptionist.

The receptionist seemed to give us a brief explanation when she brought Gilmouth and the others, but of course it was only a few things. The receptionist doesn't know the true value of the jewel, and she doesn't know what I'm going to use the money for.

From the perspective of the situation alone, I can also see that I am making a claim to sell scrap jewelry at a high price, so I would not have been able to explain it with strange speculation, and I would not have had time to do so.

"... That's why I don't want to be bought for 10% of the price, so I stopped selling here. It's obvious, isn't it?

Well, I'm not going to complain because it's my job to buy cheap and sell expensively. It's just that the commercial guild does that kind of thing...

Therefore, when selling in other towns, "that's how the commercial guilds in that town do it. Everyone, please be careful."

"Damn it!... hey, what the hell is going on here, Deal!"

An appraiser named Diehl, who is bewildered by the guildmaster.

"No, no, that's..." I didn't mean to..... "

"Indeed, after the appraisal, I was told 'nine gold coins and six small gold coins'." If it was an unusually cheap price, it could be that Mr. Deal tried to trick him or that he didn't have the ability to properly appraise the gems.

... and I'm not sure if Deal was going to bring that profit to the guild, or if he was going to pay for it and make the gems his own... "

Oh, the receptionist lady, instead of sheltering the appraiser (herself), she slashed him!

"Oh, what...? No, no, no! It's never like that!!"

"Then what do you mean?" Let me explain it to you properly.

Commercial guilds are not common stores. It's an organization with a public role that holds each store and customer together, rather than cheating merchants and customers into making a profit. Buy and sell, but it's just a service for everyone's convenience, not for making big money.

The centrepiece of the commercial guild's operating expenses is membership fees from merchants. That's how I was taught on my first day of onboarding!

If you knowingly try to buy at a low price that is out of common sense, it's against the guild's staff policy. Moreover, I tried to take the purified property for the relief of orphans...

The act of defaming the name and credibility of the commercial guild and avenging the goddess Cheng. "Don't think it's going to be a light disposal..."

... so, is it intentional or is it an appraisal mistake? "

"Of course, it's an appraisal mistake!" The value of those three gems is 92 gold coins at a fair price.... "

"Ahh, I did it..."

"That's obviously a trap..." "You can't see..."

There, the Guildmaster glanced at the merchant.

"Huh? Why did you make such an accurate assessment without a re-evaluation?"

Diehl-san appraised the gemstone and gave him nine gold coins and six small coins, didn't he? How did you get the amount without checking the actual amount again? Based only on the information you got when you did the appraisal? "

"Ugh..."

Look, the merchant just pushed me in. "With the Guildmaster's gaze and instructions..."

"By the way, my appraisal is around 93 gold coins." Considering that Deal's buy-in price for the guild is slightly lower than that of the general store, I'd say it's almost accurate..... "

…………

The appraiser and guildmaster silenced by the merchant's unwanted words.

And......

What's up, Deal?

Yes, yes! It's an appraisal mistake!

"I see... I can't blame you for deliberately making a low price assessment without any evidence..."

So I guess I'll just have to take Deal's own point..... "

The appraiser was relieved by the words of the guildmaster.

Ahh, it's over, this appraiser... "

"So, Deal is fired."

"Yeah, yeah!"

"Here..."

"Why, why..."

I asserted that it was just a mistake, and I thought I was absolved because it was admitted, but I was sentenced to dismissal.

It's not surprising, but right now, all I'm surprised about in this room is the words of the Guildmaster is the appraiser.

"No, there's no way I can hire a professional appraiser who mistakes a simple jewelry appraisal at a glance by a merchant whose appraisal is not his main job, or a commercial guild whose trust is more important than anything else..."

If the demon wanted to increase the income of the guild even a little, instead of making personal pockets of money, there was a way to do so with appropriate punishment...

If your ability as an appraiser is significantly inferior and the appraisal results are not at all accurate, you will not be able to hire one. "

"Ah....."

Yes, the Guildmaster of course knew all about it.

Knowing that the appraiser was telling a lie, he said, "If I hadn't told a lie and told you the truth, I wouldn't have been fired. Nooooooo!" I'm just teasing you. "

Of course, even if you say "for the benefit of the guild", I would have announced the dismissal for another reason at that time.

Everyone knows he tried to mislead me into putting it in his pocket.

Whatever the answer, whoever defiles the pride of the Commercial Guild and leaves its credibility in the ground has no other route than that of the Bad End.

However, it is a small play that I just did to make the person continue to regret that "there was a way to save me, but I accidentally ruined my choice".

... personality, evil!

But, well, although I work for a guild, not a store, this is a commercial (...) guild. Therefore, the merchant's values and sense of merchant ethics will be applied here.

And for decent merchants, trust is more important than money. No guild official would look sweet on anyone who discredited the entire commercial guild of this entire commercial guild branch, or indeed all the commercial guilds across the country, just by themselves.... of course, the Guildmasters of each branch...

Do what you can to impress other staff.

... of course.

"The appraiser, Deal, will be dismissed with immediate effect." You need to get out of the guild building straightaway. You will no longer be allowed to enter the staff-only compartment.

Have personal items in your work desk or locker delivered to your home later. I won't let you touch my desk or my locker anymore.

... let's go!

Ah, of course, if it turns out that you are borrowing something from our guild branch (...) (...), you will have to return it immediately (...) (...), so be prepared. "

…………

Well, with that familiar look, it's not the first time.

You must have bought from strangers in the world and those who were afraid of being beaten by the commercial guilds, many times before.

The actual product would have been sold out long ago, and I wouldn't have left evidence of that at work, but, well, I might have overconfessed that I would never find out and messed with my pocket, or made a crypto note of the amount. If the odds aren't zero, then I'll look into it, under no circumstances...

Then the appraiser dropped his shoulder and left the conference room.

Don't do anything strange, Deputy Gilmouth accompanied me... "

And, well, this settles one thing.

"Well then, let's do this..."

"Ah, no, please wait!"

That's a tribute to me, Guildmaster.

Ah, but I'm not a guild official, so if someone on the shop side talks to a customer, isn't that odd...?

"I'm so sorry!" I apologize, but I will have other people appraise the jewelry I'm selling and buy it at 3% of the appraised amount. ”

"Eh......"

"I don't know what to do..."

I heard the amount assessed by the merchant and the corrected amount assessed by the appraiser, so I don't think you will be presented with an amount that is significantly different from that here.

And because the amount is large, it's not stupid to say three percent.

So, this is...

No, thank you.

"Eh......"

"And, merchant, would you like to buy these three gems for 90 gold coins?"

Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Rather than the surcharge price offered by the guildmaster, the amount that the general store will purchase, and the amount that the merchant has appraised and offered earlier, such as asking for a purchase at a lower price, would be incomprehensible to the merchant. "But..."

"I asked the merchant to help me." Rather than selling it to an organization you can't trust, I feel that the money will be used for the benefit of the world if you buy it from a merchant to make a profit..... "

That's right. If you're going to give the money to people, it's better to give it to good people than to villains.

Even if it's in the form of 'business profits' rather than giving it away directly...
