When they had finished their report, the man who had returned with them was called to come closer and was to be interviewed. Ataru and Caro left the room, saying that they had finished with the man who was struggling to explain to Flaria even though he was stiff with tension.
They then went to the reception desk to report the completion of the request with Teal, who was waiting for them to finish their conversation. The woman at the reception desk was the same as last time, so they knew immediately that it was about the golem request.
"Okay, so let me check the cores that Ataru-san and Caro-san have collected."
The woman at the reception desk urged him to take the golem cores out of the item bag(magic bag) and place them on the counter.
"Oh, my God!"
The quality of the items was so good that she could tell at a glance that they had all been taken out of the golem without a scratch. Normally, the cores of monsters are often damaged for various reasons, and it is not uncommon for them to be polished or otherwise processed.
"Not a scratch on it, it's beautiful. ...... Magnificent."
She hadn't seen anything this good quality since she started working as a receptionist for the guild. She gazed at the monster's core, entranced as she stared at them.
"Wow, this should make my old man happy!"
Teal was equally surprised and sincerely pleased to see it on the table as he looked at the items.
"This is all we have for now. There's still time for requests, so I thought I'd just report a few for now."
Not seeming to pay any attention to the reactions of Teal and the receptionist, Ataru quickly put them away in his bag after making sure that the receptionist had finished counting them.
"Whoa! Forget it, who could bring in more than you guys?"
Teal, in a panic, tries to stop him, but Ataru still ignores him and puts everything away.
"I'd love to, but we still have a deadline to meet. There might be people who buy up stuff from the market and bring it to you, you know?"[1]
Ataru told him that he wanted to be sure, and Teal, who hadn't thought of that possibility, couldn't help but close his eyes.
"Well, that's true. I don't think there is any other party that can prepare such quality and quantity, but it's still possible, and we've set a deadline this time."
"So, tell your dad to wait a little while. ...... We need to get ready for that. Caro, let's go."
After confirming that Teal nodded his head as if pushed by the momentum, Ataru left the guild with Caro in a bit of a hurry.
Once outside, he moved quickly, talking to Caro next to him.
"Caro, I'm going to go buy some recovery potion or something similar. That golem is probably going to be a massive request, so if you're not around, I may not be able to heal you."
Caro nodded several times, sensing the meaning in his words, and ran next to him, hoping not to be left behind by Ataru, who wanted to get a good deal before the other adventurers came to buy.
As soon as he entered the alchemist's store that dealt in magic potions, Ataru immediately began to rummage through the shelves. Caro was also curious to see the many unfamiliar items on display.
"Three of each should be enough. ...... Excuse me, I'd like these."
When Ataru placed a total of six recovery potions on the counter from the product shelf, the store owner, grandmother responded. The shopkeeper then looked at what he had brought, and her eyes widened slightly in surprise.
"Hmm, out of all of them, why did you bring these?"
Ataru had not brought the items on display from one end to the other but had brought vials of healing potions in a toothless* fashion, as if he had picked them out of the display.[2]
"The other ones showed some deterioration. The effect of recovery also seems to be a little lower than the six I brought with me. That's why."
The shopkeeper was surprised by Ataru's point, which was right on the money after a bit of silence. But the shopkeeper didn't feel any displeasure at all, in fact he was smiling.
"You ...... seem to have a good eye. Certainly, the shelves there are lined with both good and not-so-good items. It's okay, though, because the less effective ones are, as you say, only slightly less effective, and we explain that there is a slight difference in the amount of recovery."
The look on her face when she said that was not an evil one. Perhaps she was playing a little prank because there were no customers who would look that closely at the product.
(Please read original at https: //sites . google . com /view/shadowgardentl/home just remove the spaces!)
"I see. Well, we won't tell anyone, so don't worry."
"Yes, yes. I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to give you this as a bonus."
Without seeming to be particularly concerned, Ataru placed the amount for the healing potion written on the shelf on the tray, and in exchange, the shopkeeper quickly placed two small bottles of a different color on the counter.
"This is a ...... mid-rank recovery potion."
Just as Ataru had said when he stared at it, the shopkeeper had placed a recovery potion that was one rank higher than the ones Ataru had bought.
"You know what you're talking about. You have a good eye, but the less people know about it, the better. But you shouldn't let too many people know about it, because you never know who might try to take advantage of it."[3]
The shopkeeper gave him advice like an old woman. The shopkeeper was pleased to see Ataru, since few customers had made a careful selection of the potions on the shelves since she opened her store here. She was also rather pleased with Ataru's clear speech.
"I'll take that as a thank you. If there's anything else I need, I'll let you know. ...... Also, there may be a rush of customers looking for recovery medicine in a while. I recommend that you keep a little extra in your inventory."
Ataru thanked the shopkeeper for the restorative medicine and left some advice for the upcoming shortage of healing potions that might occur.
"Thanks! If there's anything else you need in medicine, I'm here to help!"
The shopkeeper called out to Ataru, who was about to leave the store immediately, in a rather loud voice. After that, the shopkeeper seemed to have taken Ataru's advice and began to prepare healing potions.
"Now, is there anything else we need?"
After a short distance from the store, Caro, who had been asked to speak, pondered for a moment.
"...... I think we're good for now. Ataru-sama won't need to take care of his weapon, and I've already fought a golem, but my weapons are still in good condition, so there's no problem."
Ataru nodded his head in satisfaction at Caro's answer.
"Well, then, I guess we'll just have to get some more food. I don't think we'll be getting any requests anytime soon, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to take a walk around the city, which we couldn't do the first time."[4]
"Yes!"
Caro nodded cheerfully, she rarely went out to distant cities before, so when she first came to this city, she was secretly eager to take a look around. However, the fact that she was going to be able to do so made her look up at Ataru with a squishy smile on her face, showing that she was truly happy.[5]
The time of day was mid-afternoon, so Ataru and Caro strolled around the city at their leisure, buying and eating their lunch as they went. Compared to the previous city, this city seemed to have a lot of merchants.
"It's interesting how each city has its own unique characteristics."
"That's right. I've seen a few Beastmen in this town, and there doesn't seem to be much discrimination or distinction based on race."
As she said, there were many races, not just humans, passing through the city. Wherever you looked, you could see everyone, regardless of race, talking happily and smiling, giving the city a cheerful atmosphere.
When he had heard that the management of the territory was not going well, he had been worried, but he could tell from the appearance of the city that Gaiszer was still doing his best.
"A city like this isn't so bad......."
Caro nodded with a smile as Ataru said with a faint smile while looking at the city.
When the two of them reached the adventurer's guild after such a leisurely exchange, they saw that there were some people gathering and making a lot of noise.
"You're moving faster than I thought."
"Yes......."
They immediately sensed that it was about the battle against the golems that awaited them, and their expressions turned serious.
