After lunch, we head to the Commercial Guild.
When the Gate of Trials event ends, we will return. But before that, we need to find a place to set up the bear gate. I thought about going outside the city, however, it would be too much trouble to find a place to set it up, so I decided against it.
I don’t want to leave it there and have people find out about it without my knowledge and cause a scene. That’s why I’m planning to go to the Commercial Guild normally and buy a house. A bear house would make me stand out, so I’m going to buy a normal house.
[Fina, Ruimin. You could have waited for me back at the inn.] Yuna
When I told them I was going to the Commercial Guild, they said they would come with me.
[Ano. We’re going to look for a house to place that bear gate. I want to see what kind of house Yuna-san will buy, but Yuna-san, are you okay with your money? Buying a house is very expensive, isn’t it? It’s definitely not something I can afford with the money I have.] Ruimin
Ruimin asks worriedly. Well, her money to buy pots and pans can’t buy a house, that’s for sure.
Well, I’m not worried about money. After all, I have the money I saved from my former world and the money I’ve earned since I came to this world.
Also, Fina doesn’t know about this, but I am also receiving a cut from the tolls of the bear tunnel and such. If I want to buy a house as the one Noa lives in, it will cost a lot of money, but a small house won’t cost as much.
We went out to the main street and looked around. According to what we heard from the innkeeper, there should be a commercial guild around here.
[Yuna-oneesan, isn’t it over there?] Fina
To the direction where Fina pointed, there’s a sign for the commercial guild ahead. This seemed to be the right place. I took Fina and Ruimin and entered the building. There were fewer people inside than I expected. As far as I’m concerned, the fewer people, the better.
I looked at the receptionist and saw a normal woman sitting there. She doesn’t seem to be a dwarf.
When I went to the reception desk, the receptionist was surprised to see my outfit.
[......Bear?] Receptionist
It’s the usual, so I went ahead and told them what I needed.
[Etto, I’m looking to buy a house.] Yuna
[For all of you girls?] Receptionist
She looked at me and then at Fina and Ruimin behind me You wouldn’t normally think that this group of people would buy a house, would you?
[Don’t worry, I have the money.] Yuna
When I said this, the receptionist looked at us suspiciously.
[Etto, just to confirm, your parents are here with you, right?] Receptionist
[They’re not with us. Do you need them for something? If it’s the money you’re asking, I’ll pay it properly.] Yuna
[No, that’s not the case...] Receptionist
The receptionist looked at me, then Fina, and Ruimin, and then looked back at me again. After thinking for a moment, she asked us for our citizen’s cards.
[Guild cards are fine, right?] Yuna
[Yes. As long as you can prove your identity, you’re good to go.] Receptionist
I hand her my guild card. When the receptionist received my guild card and checked it, her expression immediately changed.
[Name: Yuna, Adventurer Rank: C, Commercial Guild Rank: E.......] Receptionist
I don’t know what she’s being surprised with. I still think it’s the adventurer rank.
[Occupation: Bear? What’s that?] Receptionist
She was surprised by that, after all.
[As you can see.] Yuna
It’s a pain to explain, so I’ll answer with that.
[......Okay. So, do you have a specific location for the house you’re buying or a maximum purchase price?] Receptionist
[I don’t really have a limit on how much money I can spend. If possible, I’d like to live somewhere away from the city center. Somewhere I can come and go without being noticed by the people. Also, preferably a small house.] Yuna
When I mentioned the conditions for the house so I can install a bear gate, the receptionist looked at us even more suspiciously and said something outrageous.
[Out of sight and out of mind. You guys ran away, didn’t you?......] Receptionist
[No, we did not. As you can tell from my outfit. I just don’t want to make too much commotion.] Yuna
[Is that true?] Receptionist
When I came to Crimonia, at first I only had to rent a plot of land, afterwards, I bought a plot of land. In the Royal Capital, I had the support of Gran-san and Eleanora-san. In Mereera, I was able to build a bear house because I defeated the Krakken, so I got permission from Atora-san. In Lalooz town, I got a house from Letobert-san. In the Elven village, I was offered a place to stay as thanks for killing the monsters. In the desert city of Dezerto, I had a letter of introduction from Balima-san.
When I think about it, I’ve had a lot of help from a lot of people in the past when building or buying a house.
I guess they get suspicious when no one is there to back me up.
This time I have no referral and there’s no one I know. But I do have something similar.
As I was reminiscing about the past, Fina called out to me.
[Yuna-oneesan. You can show her the knife that Eleanora-sama gave you.] Fina
I thought so too. It’s definitely an effective item. But the question is whether the name of the Foshuroze family is known to this remote town.
But it’s a knife that’s been given to me. So I’m somewhat going to make use of it.
From the bear box, I presented the guild receptionist with a mithril knife with a crest on it, which was given to me by Eleanora-san.
[Is this a crest of the...... nobility?] Receptionist
