The Teleporter Kureto
「Really nowー, we still have enough money even after subtracting our profit of the 6 silver coins from Kureto-san! Thank you!」
「The result was more than expected」
After paying me 2 silver coins for returning to the royal capital, the 『Thunder Sword 』 members were excited with the result.
They probably got a good price from selling the materials and the reward for completing those two requests.
「I’m glad I could be of help」
Helena and the others can earn enough money efficiently while I don’t have to expose myself to danger, we can earn money easily so this is a win-win situation for us.
「If you’d like, would you like to join our party?」
「……it’s okay if it’s Kureto」
Rox and Arna invited me like so.
My rank is E. Normally, I wouldn’t be able to have anything to do with a B-rank party.
I guess this is proof of them recognizing my worth.
「……I’m happy about the invitation, but please forgive me for refusing. I don’t have any plan to continue with being an adventurer as my occupation」
I’m very grateful for the invitation, but I have no plan of making a living by being an adventurer.
I plan on rising in this world to a role close to that of a merchant using Space magic.
And besides, if you become part of a party, your range of activities will expand. It’s easier to be asked for Teleport when necessary and also more profitable like a freelancer.
「Is that so? That’s unfortunate」
「Kureto will be going to be able to earn a lot using your power that way」
Maybe it’s because I already told them I wanted to work as a merchant before since Reid and Arna obediently backed off.
「This time is a period of service for my opening of a business but everyone from 『Thunder Sword』 is my first customer so I will keep the price low for a while」
「Ooh! That’s great then!」
「Kureto-san, can we ask for your service tomorrow as well?」
「Yes, of course」
『Thunder Sword』is important customers who used my service first after all. A little bit of service is fine.
「Hey, you. Is it true that your magic can send you to faraway locations?」
「Everyone from 『Thunder Sword』 completed 2 requests just now, right? And besides those 2 locations are opposite to each other」
It looks like he is an adventurer who was studying 『Thunder Sword』action before.
He was interested in my service, but I guess he was watching first whether my offer was suspicious or not.
And it seems like that kind of people have finally decided to give it a try.
「Yes, I will be able to send you to the requested location instantly with my magic. Today is the opening of my business and as a service, a one-way trip will be 2 silver coins」
「Can I try it now?」
「I would also like to use your service as well」
「Sure」
Apparently, these people are from different parties.
I received 2 requests from 2 parties at once.
It’s around afternoon already, but if you use Teleport you will be able to arrive in an instant so what takes a long time is actually the subjugating time. You may be able to return by night.
Looking around the place, there seem to be some people who are watching the development still and the number of customers will continue to increase later on.
I will probably be able to earn more money that way.
「It looks like some people noticed the value in Kureto-san’s service after seeing us」
「……I’m glad we made early reservations. I don’t want to go around carrying heavy luggage anymore」
「Oi oi, it’ll be a problem if you don’t want to go on an adventure if there is no Kureto y’know」
「But, it’s natural to think like that after you experienced such ease, right」
◆
After starting the service of sending adventurers to their requested locations, the number of customers has been increasing steadily since then.
I’m bringing back the 『Thunder Sword』 from Kokria コクリア village to the royal capital.
「Thanks, Kureto!」
「I think we can complete one more request at this time!」
「Kureto-san, can I request for another Teleport?」
Even though they had finished the third request for the day, the 『Thunder Sword』are still greedy for a request.
「It’s already the fourth one, will it be okay?」
「……I’m tired」
When I throw out words of concern, Arna - who tends to find things bothersome - honestly speaks out.
「You idiot! We might be promoted to A-rank at this pace! It will be a loss for us if we don’t ask while Kureto is here!」
Was that what made 『Thunder Sword 』full of motivation these days?
A-rank adventurers are only a handful in the kingdom.
If they can reach that, their future from now on will be much more secure.
「That’s why, please. Kureto!」
「Sure. I don’t mind but……」
Even though Arna said she’s tired, is it okay to bring her there?
It will be a problem if they get injured due to accumulated fatigue.
「We actually have reserved a famous restaurant for commendation parties….」
「……I’ll do my best」
After Reid whispered such sweet words, Arna’s eyes lit up and became sharp.
It looks like Reid is also good at managing the party members.
「Well then, please accept the request」
「Yeah, wait a bit」
After saying that, 『Thunder Sword』 reported the completion of their request and ran to the bulletin board.
「……ummー, now I will send everyone from 『Thunder Sword』 to the request location, and then pick up 『Three Beast Princess』 from Libera リベラル in an hour」
「Teleporter (転送屋). Can I also request you to send our party as well?」
As I was opening my notebook to check on my schedule, a B-rank party that consisted solely of elf『Fairy Archers』called out to me.
Incidentally, that ‘teleporter’ is me. I was given that name when I was sending the adventurers by Teleport.
Well apparently, having an alias means that I became famous so I have no problem with that.
「Where would you like to know?」
「Aubu forestアウブの森だ」
「It will cost 8 silver coins for a one-way trip to such a distance, would that be okay with you?」
When it’s Aubu forest, it will take a week and a half by carriage from here.
It would be strange if the price is the same whether it’s near or far so I try to differentiate the price.
After repeated Teleport, I realized that apparently, fatigue actually accumulated the farther I Teleport.
Still, there seems to be a difference in fatigue when you’re Teleporting around comfortably by yourself and bringing people with you over a long distance.
「It doesn’t matter. It is much better than being stuffed in a dirty box, called a shared carriage」
The elves seem to be as prideful as always.
Oh well, they were often being hit on by the men since they are good-looking so I guess it’s a cheap price to be saved from such stress. It’s also far from here.
「Understood. I will call on you after sending people from 『Thunder Sword』」
「Yes, we will wait at the bar」
After saying that, the members of 『Fairy Archers』 walked to the bar.
Although it’s a forwarding business that deals with adventurers, it’s not something all adventurers can use.
People in F or E-rank who earn less won’t be able to pay in silver coins for a one-way trip.
However, it became a piece of cake when you become C, B, or A-rank adventurers with both ability and financial stability.
If anything, you will be able to pass the restriction that is time, and able to earn more by completing more requests than usual.
「Hiiiii, Kureto-san. Please reduce the pace of sending the adventurers! We’re so busy we’re gonna die!」
As I was waiting for 『Thunder Sword』, Kusha came to me with mountain of documents in her hands while crying.
「Eh? But the guild master was in a good mood after being commended for the increase in the request completion rate though?」
Apparently, the guild here has the highest completion rate thanks to me and was awarded for that.
One day an old man calling himself the guild master came to me and asked me to increase the completion even more.
And then Kusha howled when I explained that to her.
「That person only shows up in the guild once in a while, he has no right to ask for such a thing!」
「S, so it was like that. I’ve been making some money recently, so I guess I will slow down the pace for a bit」
As expected, I don’t want to receive the guild staff’s resentment so I should be more careful.
「Really, please do so!」
Kusha’s expression looked so desperate, like a desperate corporate slave at the end of their rope.
