Emilio Company
It’s been three months since then. As Emilio asked me, I teleported to various places.
I purchase specialty products unique to the region such as the local foods, handicrafts, fabrics, medicines, and monster’s materials cheaply and sell them at a high price at a distant place where they are needed. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
That was just the basics of doing business, but that’s not all as Emilio could obtain information and respond flexibly.
When he heard that a city somewhere was trying to expand its castle walls, I teleported to a mine, bought up stones, and sold them right away. When he heard that a gourmet noble wanted to eat a delicacy, I would teleport someplace to buy the delicacy and sell it in the same manner.
At any rate, the ability to gather information and its accuracy was amazing, and his action was quick.
He knows where the local specialties are and where he can sell them at the highest price.
And besides he was able to become intimate with his customers due to his natural appearance and outstanding communication skills.
Thereby his connections grow and he can acquire more information, making him able to act advantageously.
He easily completed the goal of paying me more than 50 gold coins in a single day, just as he declared when we first met in the royal capital.
My earnings are even more than that now as my daily wages have now become more than 100 gold coins a day.
That’s more than a million yen in a single day. It’s a ridiculous amount of money when you think about how much it will accumulate if you calculate it in a month.
However, behind such earnings, I actually worked hard like a maid as a Space magician.
I had been made to use Teleport, again and again, many times.
I was being overworked to the point where tasks such as requests for delivering things or adventurers from the adventurer guild seemed mild in comparison.
That guy called Emilio is greedy in business and wouldn’t compromise on that.
Oh well, I was also paid a lot anyway so I was also satisfied with it.
Generating such profits, Emilio Company has grown in size and has now become able to open an impressive store in a prime location in the royal capital. There are also more employees and the shelves have now filled to the brim with various products.
It’s a world difference from the temporary store I saw back on the outskirts of the royal capital in the beginning.
It has now become called ‘the elusive Emilio Company’, and it has even been said that there are no items that Emilio Company can not provide.
Well, that’s because of my Teleport magic, but that was a fact only known to a very small number of employees, including Emilio and the young Rodney.
Once it has grown to this point, Emilio Company has become able to obtain goods without relying on my Teleport. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
It was a rapidly expanding company so it is still unstable, but it will probably stabilize and become rock solid in a few years.
My current role is often just to procure items that cannot be purchased without teleportation, rare items, or when an influential person needs them quickly.
Even now I am coming to a place to purchase items that will be difficult to obtain without my magic.
I am now in Valerio town, a town where blacksmiths are mining and processing types of ores that can only be gathered from Valerio volcano.
It is also a place where a lot of craftsmen gather, a place where many come to train themselves.
As you walk down the street of Valerio, you can see many weapon armor shops lined up the street, you can also hear the sound of iron being hammered from everywhere.
Maybe because it’s the leading blacksmith town in Aldeus kingdom, various races gather here seeking it.
Most of them are probably knights, adventurers, or mercenaries.
Each of them is wandering from place to place in order to obtain good-quality weapons or armor.
It’s a lively town in a different manner from the royal capital.
Then I enter a familiar workshop after walking along the path where people come and go.
「Zarm-san (ザルムさん), I’m here to purchase the usualー」
Entering the workshop, I saw a dwarf wearing a monocle appraising various types of ores in the reception desk.
He gently placed the ore he appraised when he noticed me coming.
「……you again, Emilio’s errand boy」
「Eeh, it’s Kureto from Emilio Company. Do you have leftover ores mined from Valerio volcano?」
That’s right, while Zarm is a blacksmith, he is also a powerful person who mined ores and precious metals in the Valerio volcano for his own materials. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Zarm is very good at mining and continues to dig out good-quality items, so we often handle the purchase of ores from this workshop.
「I thought it was about time you guys gonna come so I mined quite a lot. I put them at the storage room at the back. Choose what you want and call me」
「Thank you very much as always! Then, please excuse me!」
Let’s enter the storage room and choose without reservation since he has ores in the inventory and I received Zarm’s permission.
There were a lot of boxes containing precious metals and gems.
From brightly colored crystals and gems I’ve never seen before to pitch-black ores. It’s full of all sorts of types. It would be like a treasure trove for those who see it.
This could only be obtained in Valerio volcano - which has rich ore veins buried - and also Zarm’s mining skill.
「It’s just that, coming all the way to this place is so draining」
The place is at a high altitude so on top of the fact that it’s a hassle to go here, I have to cross over several mountains.
You have to go through several dangerous zones to arrive here so merchants who want to go here must hire skilled adventurers for a long period of time.
Nevertheless, that’s not a guarantee to finally reach here safely so it’s not a place where the current Emilio company could go.
But, it’s different with me and my Teleport. That’s why I’m the one being send if they want to procure items from here.
「Ummー, if I remember correctly, Emilio wants Platinum Dite and Elekium. Also, was it mythril……」
I check and confirm the ores inside the room with my eyes while also checking the memo I made for the various items Emilio asked me to get. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Un, they’re all here」
After confirming that they were all exactly here, I returned to Zarm and told him what I wanted.
「……the total will be 120 gold coins」
「Yes, that’s fine」
It’s the same amount of money as Emilio’s had predicted. It’s because he can make such detailed estimates that I am amazed at our company president.
When I handed the amount of money I took out from my leather bag, Zarm started to carefully count them.
「……all right. Handle them as you wish」
「Understood. Thank you very much!」
I enter the storage room and store the items I purchased in bulk in my subspace. As expected, when it comes ores it’s impossible for a single person to carry them.
「Well then, I have taken them, now please excuse me」
「……really, you’re empty-handed again today. Just how did you bring them all by yourself every single time」
「It’s trade secret」
Zarm send an inquisitive look at me as he said that when I left the workshop.
Then, I enter a random, inconspicuous alley, and teleport to Emilio's company.
Immediately after, the scenery changed, from the gloomy alley to an elegant room with high-class carpet spread out.
This place is the office of Emilio company.
A place where a restricted number of people - including me and Rodney - can enter.
There, the head of the company - Emilio - is sitting there doing paperwork.
「Emilio. I got the items you requested from Zarm-san」
「Thank you. Leave it in the storage room in the back」
「Okay」
Emilio didn’t look particularly surprised with my appearance - since he was already used to my teleportation inside the room - and continued to look at the documents in his hands without looking at me as he said that. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
After I entered the storage room at the back of the office, I took out the items from my subspace and placed them there.
「I put them all there. Is this the end of today’s work?」
「Yeah, that’s enough for today. I leave your reward over there, you can take it with you」
On the office table is what appears to be a leather bag filled with a lot of gold coins.
The reward is more than the amount of money I used to buy all the ores before. I guess he can sell all those ores at a higher price and earn a profit.
「But, our company has grown big hasn’t it」
Throwing the leather bag containing the reward into the subspace, I gaze at the scenery outside from the office’s window.
This place is located in a prime location on the royal capital’s main street and also with a great view.
I could clearly see the people walking outside and entering the shop down there as if being drawn inside.
「Right. But, we are still relying on Kureto. Yes, and we will end up restricting Kureto if we don’t do something quick」
「Is that why Emilio has been so busy lately? I certainly said that I prefer freedom more but I didn’t feel like it’s that much of a burden for me, y’know?」
Emilio and the people in the company have been treating me well. Indeed, I don’t like being tied down to one place at the start, but now I don’t feel too distressed about it. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Sure, Emilio worked me hard at first but then he gave me more freedom and wages.
「Really? Then, will you work here for the rest of your life?」
「This and that is a different story. I’m not prepared for that」
「What a pity. Feel free to let me know if you’d like to devote the rest of your life to my company, alright?」
「Please phrase it a little better」
’Devote the rest of your life’ he said, isn’t it like I’m a workaholic or something?
「That said, Kureto has enough money to live, right? So from now on, it’s not about earning money anymore, but how to enjoy your life thoroughly. Have you decided on that?」
「Certainly, I haven’t decided on that yet……」
Four months have passed since I came to this world. I managed to make quite an amount of money at a quicker speed than I had originally expected.
What should I do next once my life has stabilized? I feel like I haven’t thought about that matter thoroughly.
「Well, the one who decides it will be Kureto yourself. As for me, my ambition is to make this company to be the best in the world so I will be happy if you help me with that」
Amidst such a solemn atmosphere, Emilio spoke in a remarkably relaxed manner. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
