She saw the man wore a mask that startling everyone.
'He is the prey...... ah no I mean, the customer who came to my shop today.'

'He must have immediately tried the effectiveness of his armor in the dungeon.'
'His armor becomes a little bit dirty.'

'In addition, he wears that seemingly cursed mask.'
'It is terrifying to know that scary thing.'

'And this branch manager, who didn't change her tone even after seeing him wore that unique mask, was as expected.'
Even so, her experience was difference compare to Akane.

'Well, what kind of material does he bring back from the dungeon?'
Akane was interested.

'If I know this, I can correctly measure his ability and his wallet's content.'
'In addition, I can forcibly sell the items that seem appropriate for him.'

While hiding near the wall, she measured the condition of the raw material purchased by the shop.

A large quant.i.ty of horns was taken out from the couple's bags.
'That surely Killer Rabbits'.......'

Killer Rabbit's offensive power is so-so, but it is an intellectual creature that takes actions such as avoidance and feint that could not be seen in the previous floors.

Battle skill is necessary to beat it down, so it is absolutely difficult for beginners to subjugate it.

Perhaps even a fast-growing adventurer would take a month to subjugate Killer Rabbit starting from scratch.

The materials they brought were more than 100 horns.
Since female Killer Rabbit didn't have horns, that mean they defeated more than 100 male Rabbits.
They were predicted to defeat 200 rabbits if the combined ratio of males and females was 1: 1.

If it was collected in just a month, he should not be a talented person who stopped at the bronze cla.s.s only.
That was because if he delivered 100 horns every day, he would earn 2 million yen - the minimum standard income of silver cla.s.s - in just 10 days.

'As expected, that man is at least a silver cla.s.s.'
'Even if he is unskilled, he seems to at least have abilities of gold cla.s.s.'

"Thank you very much for today. The purchase price of 101 Killer Rabbits' horns will be 202,000 yen. Are you okay with this a.s.sessment?"
"Yes!"
"......well, are you going to use the team distribution function?"
"Eh? What is that?"

'Is he always solo until now?'
'It seems like he doesn't know the team distribution function.'

The IC card managed incomes and expenditures at the same time.
Even if you decided to distribute later, when the leader secured income for the team, the card would calculate it as individual income.

Of course it was possible to deduct the distribution of the team directly from the IC card, but it couldn't be handled as expenses because it would be caught by tax evasion's counter measures.
Therefore, it is unusual for only leaders that paid taxes.

The team distribution was used to compensate it.

It was possible to charge the team members one by one by inputting the amount of money obtained from materials sold on the register side in advance.

Distribution could correspond from direct input of numerical value to percentage method.

In the case of an amount that could not be divided nicely, it was also possible for shops to cover single digits. That was a service from the store.
Of course, this store also has that kind of services.

"Well then, please distribute it."
"Tha, that is not good! I haven't done anything after all."
"No, didn't you carry the horns?"
"I'm just carrying it; I have not helped the battle."

'Was she perhaps a supporter?'
Both of the customers started to argue.

Such scene was rare.
Nonetheless, usually supporter would demand money.......

"Then, let's make it half as much as Karen carried. The income for that part will be zero if Karen doesn't carry the horns, so this is thanks to Karen, isn't it?"
"But......."

The man brought his mouth near to Karen's ear as she tried to rebut.
When he whispered something, Karen easily compromised to that man's idea.

'But.......'
While seeing both of them, Akane felt her body become numb.

Clearly Akane was convinced that Killer Rabbits defeated by both of them.

However, the fact was different.
It was him, who wore a strange mask, that terribly collect Killer Rabbits' horns!

The average of monsters subjugated for a day was at most 50 monsters.
Even for the so-called "Let's be" rankers, who seriously hunt in a party, at most could only hunted 100 monsters.

However, he defeated twice of that numbers.......

Of course, Akane had considered the possibility of those horns was collected in a few days.
However, if so, he wouldn't say "the income for that part will be zero".

That mean it was just in one day.......

Akane's eyes were s.h.i.+ned suspiciously.

'If he became more skillful, my shop income will increase even more.'
*Slurp* Akane licked her lips.

"I am very sorry. I can't distribute only 48 of the a.s.sessed horns."
"Wait a minute!"

Akane, who couldn't endure it anymore, cut off the branch manger's words.

(Hey, what's wrong with you?)
(Why you don't recalculate it?)
(Even if you re-appraise the carry-in amount, you still settle it overtime.)
(Ha!?)
(Don't you know our overtime is very strict? I don't want to be scolded later.)
(You are a fool. You really are a fool, right!?)

Akane jerkingly shook the branch manager's nape.
'They are without a doubt high-cla.s.s customers.'
'What will happen to us if we can't meet their demand?!'

'If we refuse to re-a.s.sess it, they will go to other veteran shop like Kawas.h.i.+ma or Harima.'
'The 101 horns that supposed to be secured will become nothing!'
'In addition, we will send salt to our rivals!!' (TLN: In j.a.panese, "Sending Salt to Your Enemy" means showing humanity even to one's enemy.)

"I am very sorry, could you spare a little time?"
"Oh, well...... yes, it's okay."

Surprised by the appearance of Akane, the man's eyes are widened and he awkwardly nodded.

'If we give him a benefit here, he will go to our shop even more.'
'That kind of chance is hanging in front of us.'
'Wasting it is something impossible!'

Akane immediately revised the 48 horns from the beginning.

She transferred 53 pieces and 50% of 48 pieces to the male side and deposited the remaining amount to the girl's IC card.

"Thank you very much~."

Seeing the adventurers that leave the store after the distribution was finished, Akane waved her hand while smiling.
Next to her, the branch manager trembled.

"You....... What you are doing as you please in my shop!"
"If you don't understand that kind of thing, you will never able to increase you profit."

The manager conduct was as per manual.
In addition, revision also took a lot of time.
If compared to the cost, the income earned was too few.

Moreover, it was scary to be scolded by area manager from headquarter if she work overtime.

So in the short term, it was more appropriate and easier to induce changes in distribution method.

That was in the end our circ.u.mstances.
For adventurers, as customers those things were not their concern.

'It was useless to capture an immediate benefit, but miss a big fish.' (TLN: "miss a big fish" means miss a big opportunity.)
'By acc.u.mulating such friendly service, large bouquet of money...... ah, that's wrong; flowers would bloom in the future.'

'Even now, I belief one day it will return to if I beat my superior, therefore, steady action must be done.'

"I will report your action today to headquarter."
"That's okay. Someday, you will weep out that you can secure good customers thanks to me. At that time, it would be too late to apologize."
"Good grief, I can't said anything."

Of course, the future when that branch manager is weeping because of Akane would not come.
That is because the large flower would always bloom for Akane.

That future when Akane send the bouquet is close by.

But she who brought the bouquet was the messenger of misfortune......
