Chapter 137: The Mystery of the Jewel (2/2)
“Would it be a bad idea to use it as an accessory?” [Ryouma]
“No need to worry about that . If you announce it and go around, showing it off, it might be a problem, but all you’re doing is greeting the duke’s family, right? Then in that case, it won’t be a problem .
But if some strange noble does notice it, it’s unlikely that he’ll cause problems immediately . If anything, he’ll first ask you to sell it . At that time, you can just sell it . You said it belongs to your grandmother, but it’s not like you feel much attachment to it, right?” [Grisiera]
“You can tell?” [Ryouma]
“I can tell that much . ” [Grisiera]
The guild master grinned .
I won’t pursue it, but this part of her is so suspicious… Whatever . I won’t say anything unnecessary .
“Well, if you’re really worried about it, then just sell it off quickly and you won’t have a problem . ” [Grisiera]
In other words, it will be too late to worry about it when I take it with me . Then in that case, I’ll use one as an ornament .
As for the rest, I think I’ll crush them and have the slimes eat them . I could also give them to the duke’s family .
“Excuse me . The payment and the materials have been prepared . ” [Staff]
Oh, the person from before came back . The guild master pushed the diamond to me . She seemed to be telling me to put it away already .
“Enter . ” [Grisiera]
After confirming that I’d put the jewel away, the guild master gave permission for the staff to enter . Three staff members entered the room . One brought with him a heavy-looking leather bag, while the other two were carrying bags of various sizes . They lined up the bags on the table, then they handed a paper to the guild master and left .
The guild master looked over that paper, then she nodded and turned the paper to me .
“Confirm the payment and the ingredients . ” [Grisiera]
…I checked the list just as she told me to . When I got to the payment portion, it was written there that the medicines I brought sold for 3,000 suits per vial .
“Isn’t this too much?” [Ryouma]
“Demand for good antidote won’t run out anytime soon, and the customers are all rich nobles . Besides, I have to make sure to have enough stock that the people who actually need them will be able to get some . For that, I need the manufacturers working hard . Your antidote is of high quality, so considering the season, the price is just right .
But when the season ends, the price will go back to normal, so you should quickly turn those ingredients into medicine . ” [Grisiera]
“I understand . ” [Ryouma]
I don’t have plans to go on a trip for a while, so I should quickly concoct them .
“By the way, Ryouma . I hear you received permission from Wogan to accept bandit subjugation jobs . ” [Grisiera]
“Where did you hear that?” [Ryouma]

“From the person himself . He mentioned it while we were talking about something else . …So, are you planning to take on bandit jobs?” [Grisiera]
“Yes . I specialize in combat, after all . I don’t have any problems with fighting other people too . ” [Ryouma]
“I know . That’s why that kid gave you permission . But if that’s the case, then do drop by the guild frequently . The movement of the bandits affect our work, so our guild’s information should prove invaluable to you . ” [Grisiera]
“That’s true… Thank you very much . ” [Ryouma]
“A merchant is someone who uses whatever can be used . If you can use that information to hunt bandits, then that too will result in our profit . ” [Grisiera]
…That’s true too .
So, the guild master’s advice also considered her profit .
“I’ll leave it to you then . ” [Ryouma]
“Anytime…” [Clerk]
I thanked the clerk from yesterday and after handing him my diamond, I left the store .
Unlike me, he knew the value of the plume diamond .
He’s probably privy to jewels due to the nature of his work . The moment I showed him the diamond and said that I wanted to use it, he immediately knew that it was a good diamond . Moreover, after he examined the diamond, his attitude toward me changed . He was polite from the start, but after examining the diamond, he became even more polite .

I paid him a bit more to keep him quiet, but considering I used the diamond I made myself for the decoration of the suit, I didn’t really lose out . I also got to learn the important points of making a jewel, so when you look as it as a learning fee as well, it’s actually inexpensive .
Alright . Next on my schedule is… Ah, yes . The monster affinity diagnosis that I learned from Roche-san .
I walked leisurely to the tamers guild . Or at least, I was planning to, but I reached it almost immediately . The tamer guild was a lot closer to the store than expected .
“Good day . I heard I could take the monster affinity diagnosis here . Can I take it today?” [Ryomua]
“Welcome to the tamer guild . The affinity diagnosis? Yes you can take it . Please show me your guild card . ” [Receptionist]
It’s been a while since I showed my face to the receptionist, so I showed my card as instructed .
“Oh my? Have you never taken it once?” [Receptionist]
“Yes . I’ve always had a monster since I registered, so I felt no need for it . ” [Ryouma]
“Really? The affinity diagnosis is free for first timers . Please take this to the eastern gate of Gimuru . ” [Receptionist]
She came back with my guild card and a document . It seemed to be some kind of admission ticket .
“The eastern gate, right?” [Ryouma]
“Yes . The affinity diagnosis will have the tamer form a monster contract with various monsters . Which monsters you’re compatible with will be based on the common points and trend of the result . Because of the number of monsters, a plot of land needed to be provided .

At the eastern gate of Gimuru is our lodging facility for large-type monsters . The monster affinity diagnosis is also managed there .
So that’s why she’s sending me to the eastern gate .
“Thank you very much . I understand now . I’ll be going then . ” [Ryouma]
“You’re welcome . I pray for your good fortune . ” [Receptionist]
Like that I ended up heading toward the eastern gate .
…Come to think of it, this isn’t my first time going to the eastern gate, is it?
