A New Method Of Working
The adventurers who saw us moving instantly from the sky to the ground in front of the guild’s building were making noise. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Many adventurers are paying attention to me - who stands here calmly -, as if they know that it was not the trio in front of them who created this situation.
Now is the chance to promote my new business.
「As you can see before, my magic allows me to move and travel a long distance in an instant」
「What’s that magic that allows you to travel for a long distance in an instant? I’ve never heard about it」
「But, wouldn’t it be hard to explain the situation before it I don’t have such magic?」
The adventurers are making dubious questions, guess it’s because they have never seen such magic before.
The guild’s staff also said that they never heard of such magic, but as expected, Space magic is quite rare and there is a high possibility that I am the only person who can use it. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Now, I have a suggestion for everyone. Would everyone allow me to support you in your movement? If you pay me, I will get you to your destination to the best of my ability」
Right, my new business is to earn money by sending adventurers to their destinations.
Being able to move from place to place in an instant is a huge attraction. As long as I use Teleport, there’s no need to go out and complete requests. I can earn enough money just dropping off and picking adventurers up.
I have no fixation or the guts to be an adventurer who risks their life and willpower to subjugate monsters, so something like this suits me more.
「Suppose you could do that, what would you and us gain from that?」
Hearing my suggestion, a brave female adventurer asked.
I can see those who appear to be her friends gathered around her.
This was a party that seemed to be very interested in what I told them.
「The adventurers who use my service will be able to save time and trouble going to faraway places, while I can earn money just by sending adventurers and picking them up later」
「But, do you have to pay each time you send and pick adventurers? How much is it going to cost?」
「The price will change depending on the distance but as an opening service, it will be two silver coins for a one-way trip per party」
「Two silver coins……」
Hearing ‘two silver coins’, the red-haired adventurer frowns.
Normally, one can travel by sharing a carriage together with others for two copper coins per person.
In other words, 4 people can travel to another place via carriage for 8 copper coins. You can’t help but think that this is expensive.
However, that’s because they don’t understand the advantages of traveling using Teleport.
Honestly, considering the convenience of this ability I could raise the price even more.
But if I set such a price - from the perspective of the adventurers who don’t understand its value -, I doubt anyone would pay attention.
「It’s certainly expensive but once you try to use Teleport magic, you can travel to a place that will take days via carriage in an instant. If you complete a high-paying request that you avoided due to the distance but collect materials that can only be obtained on the spot and sell them, as long as you use my service you will be able to earn enough profit as a party」
I receive money each time I use Teleport, but they subjugate monsters in every place they go and collect materials that can only be found in that area, and sell them. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
They may earn more money than before if they can complete multiple high-paying requests in a day like I did by delivering things by using Teleport.
「……then we 『Thunder Sword』will ask for your service」
While everyone is looking at me as if looking at a suspicious merchant, the first person to ask for my service is a man wearing glasses standing next to the red-haired adventurer.
It looks like that person may be the brain of the party.
「Thank you very much!」
「Reid, are you serious!? Don’t you think there’s something fishy about this?」
「If the business this man is trying to do is true then it may be our chance to make a big leap forward」
「And the reason is…?」
「I can’t say it now. If I say it here then the surrounding people will also notice it」
Apparently, the glasses man notices the advantage of traveling by Teleport.
「I’m going to beat you to a pulp if you try to do anything funny!」
「……I think it’s going to be a good thing if Reid said so」
Their big and brawny friend said something dangerous while a girl with sleepy eyes said that it didn’t matter.
「Well, since everyone said so let’s try it」
「Thank you very much」
Thus, I got my first customers for my new business using Teleport.
◆
「I will introduce myself once more, my name is Kureto」
I introduce myself to the adventurers who have requested my service. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「『Thunder Sword』’s leader, Rox ロックス」
The first one to give his name is a man with a lion-like hairstyle and a big and brawny build.
With metallic armor on his body and carrying something huge like a war hammer on his back.
Looking closely like this, his height is more than 180 cm and gives a considerable sense of oppression.
「My name is Helena ヘレナ」
Next is a girl with short red hair.
She has a strong-willed feature, a beautiful woman in a way that makes you think of a handsome woman in men’s clothing.
She has the impression that she is part of Takarazuka, but she’s probably going to be angry if I tell her something like that.
She’s wearing leather and metal parts for her armor, with a fine short sword hanging on her waist.
「I am Reid」
A man with silver hair wearing glasses introduced himself with a calm tone.
He’s holding a staff and wearing something like a robe, so he must be a magician.
「……I’m Arna アルナ」
A girl with pink hair who looks as sleepy as ever.
She’s a girl with a small build around 150 cm tall, but she’s holding a cane even longer than that.
Same as Reid, she’s wearing a robe but maybe she’s the healer of the party.
It’s quite common for an adventurer’s party to have a healer. But from the perspective of someone who doesn’t participate in a battle, whether you’re a healer or not doesn’t matter to me.
「So Reid. What do you mean by, our chance to make a big leap forward?」
She’s probably been wondering about it the whole time. Helena asks looking impatient.
「……that’s simple. If Kureto-san can send us to our destination then we can handle a lot of requests cheaply」
「Oi oi, even if you say ‘cheaply’, it’s 2 silver coins, y’know?」
「Even if we consider using a shared carriage as usual, our daily meals, the cost of consumable tools, it almost cost us around 2 silver coins, you know」
「Mu? Was it like that?」
「No way」
「Haa......you guys please take note of our daily expenses a bit more. I’m the only one in charge of it」
When Reid voiced such a complaint, Helena and Rocks exchanged awkward glances and averted their eyes. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
As for Arna, she’s keeping quiet.
Apparently, Reid is the one who manages all the party’s funds and operations. Hearing his tired complaint makes me can’t help but sympathize with him.
「When you think about it like that, 2 silver coins to send us over in an instant is quite cheap. And just as he said we will be able to save time and we will be able to complete the requests we had been putting off because of the distance. Above all, we can challenge the monsters in a condition where we are not tired」
「……it’s good to be able to do it without trouble. It’s wonderful」
Hearing Reid’s last remark, Arna strongly reacted to it.
So it seems like this girl tends to find things troublesome.
「But, why don’t other people also ask for this service if it is this good?」
「There are few among the adventurer’s party who manage their party funds so there would be few adventurers who have realized this face. Even if they’ve realized this fact it will still take a lot of courage to try it」
Reid resolutely answers Helena’s question.
The former is probably around 60% while the latter is 40%. It felt like what he said when I looked around at the reaction from the curious adventurers around.
「And so we must not miss this chance and let’s make a killing. If we do this then A-rank adventurers which seemed like a wall to us won’t be a dream anymore」
「I see, an adventurer must go on an adventure!」
「Then, let’s immediately receive some requests! Kureto, to what places can you send us?」
「I can go to most places except out of the country. It’s impossible to send you to the middle of dangerous places though」
I went around completing delivery requests all over the place so I’m proud to say that the range of my Teleport location has spread out.
「Okay. Well then, we’ll bring you the requests we will take so look at the one you can take us to」
「Understood」
And thus, this is how I began my first job using Teleport. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
