Volume 1 - Ch 108
Year 7443, Month 8, Day 21
Today is Wednesday so it's the day we have off. Normally I'd take Zulu along as escort while practicing magic on the 1st floor or earning some experience points but it seems my plans for today are going to change a bit. After eating breakfast and just as I was about to head out to my usual stuff fully equipped at Boil Manor. There was a knock on the door and after looking outside the apprentice of Boil Manor informs me of a visitor.
I don't have any ideas as to who it is but it might be another person who wants to join my party that's increased in number recently. Nevertheless, it might be a member of the first knight group who needs some urgent maintenance to their armor as well. I wonder if the latex in sister's repair kit has run out?
Last month brother and the others brought me quite a bit of it when they came for deliveries so I have quite a bit of surplus, it might be good to quickly do some repairs and earn some small change, thinking that I went to the front and there was a middle-aged dwarf I don't remember seeing before accompanied by a young Laios man who is probably a servant waiting for me. Judging from his appearance and physique I doubt he's related to the knight group or an adventurer that wants to join my part. I wonder if he's a person related to the finances of the knight group? Even then he doesn't seem like he's related to the army.
"I'm Greed but.."
I called out to him like to catch his attention.
The man turned around to face me and politely lowered his head to greet me.
"It's nice to meet you, my name is Yohen Logflat. I run a certain store in the capital. I would like to talk with you for a bit but is it convenient for you right now?"
and said that confirming my situation.
Is this man, that I guess? Did he come to directly negotiate with me in regards to the matter of a headquarters for Greed Company? I tried Identifying him and he's the head of Sub-Baron Logflat family. His level is 10 which is decently high but he's already 45 years old. I guess he misunderstood I was looking at the Laios man next to him when I glanced to his side to check the identify window but Sub-Baron Logflat opened his mouth again.
"Ah, this person is my guard and slave. Please don't mind them."
I see, so he's bringing around a combat slave as a guard? I thought the capital and it's surroundings were safe but since I've never seen the head of a noble family walking around in the middle of town so I wonder if this is normal? or at least I decided to think that and not worry about it. But, as expected it's hard to think that the head of a noble family would come all the way here from the capital without an escort, so I guess it's only obvious.
"Yes. There's no problem with time but what is the reason for your business?"
If he has a building in a good location that he'll offer to me I definitely want to jump at that but I don't want him to hike up the price either. Well if it's some plus-alpha that remains within common sense then it's fine so I don't mind if he hikes it up a but this Sub-Baron Logflat has a refined smile on his face and I can't read his intentions. Among the many one-track minded people of Orth you could say he has quite the good business sense.
"Dealing with the Greed Company"
In the next moment, a voice called out from above the stairs.
"Isn't that Sub-Baron Logflat!? Why are you in a place like this?"
It was Zenom. It seems he's an acquaintance of this Sub-Baron Logflat. He quickly descended the stairs and opened his mouth again.
