“Excuse me, Tauro-kun… I have another favor to ask…”

Marches came to my house in the morning, looking apologetic.

“? What’s the matter? Please come in, don’t stand outside.”

Tauro invited Marches into his home.

“…Actually, I’m about to get another job.”

Marches told Tauro, sounding uncomfortable.

“Something other than the O’circus one?”

“…Yes.”

“That’s good, isn’t it?”

Tauro was happy as usual.

But he didn’t understand why Marches was looking so apologetic.

“Yes, but then I wouldn’t be able to leave the village of Dansas for two weeks…”

“…Ah, does that mean you won’t be going to O’circus?”

“No! I was wondering if you could go on my behalf, Tauro-kun!”

Marches made a bold suggestion.

Although Tauro was the developer of the refrigerator, he had entrusted the sale of the product to the Marches Trading Company, so it would be unfair to ask him to do so.

It was a bitter pill for Marches to swallow.

“Marches-san, you have employees, right?”

“Yes, I do, what about it?.”

“Then appoint one as your agent.”

“What? We’ve just hired a bunch of new people! It’s not something I can really entrust to them!”

“I’ll handle the negotiations, but I’m just a kid, I don’t think it’s a good idea for me to represent you.
Shin and Rumeya are not good at that kind of thing, so they can’t do it.”

“Hmm….
I understand.
Then, would you prefer one of our… skilled merchants…? I have an employee named Leada, so I’ll tell her to get ready!”

Marches said to Tauro as he pictured the employee he wanted to be his agent.

“So, we’ll mainly be escorting your agent, transporting goods and negotiating on their behalf, right?”

Tauro confirmed the job description.

“Yes! That’s what we’ll do this time! Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to tell the agent to make sure everything is ready.”

Marches bowed his head and thanked him several times before returning to the company.

“Are you alright? It’s almost like you’re carrying all the burden though?”

Aeris, who had heard the whole thing from the next room, said as she came out.

“Hmmm… It’s tough, but Marches-san is in a critical situation and as a developer, I need to make sure the product sells.
I guess I have no choice this time.”

“If it’s okay with you, then alright.
We’ll still be doing the same thing, just an escort quest.”

Aeris was convinced and began to prepare.

A few days later, The branch office informed them of a long term quest for Team “Black Golden Wings” to escort a merchant to O’Circus and back, which would take a week one way and two weeks round trip, with departure in a few days.

Of course, Tauro and his team accepted the quest.

At the business meeting, Marches introduced Leada to Tauro.

“I’m Tauro, the leader of the “ Black Golden Wings”, and I’ve been assigned to escort you and transport your goods.”

I greeted Leada, whom I had never met before.

She was a stylish woman with long red hair in a ponytail and dark eyes, dressed in a relaxed merchant-like outfit.

She wore glasses which was impressive, but looked unsure of herself.

She seemed to be a potential right-hand man for Marches.
Marches told Tauro that it would be great if Leada could gain confidence by going to O’Circus.

I see, it seems that Marches is dispatching her for training as well.

Tauro felt like his workload had increased again, but he decided not to talk about it because it was up to the agent.

“I’ll leave the negotiations to you, Tauro-kun, but I’m certain you can use  Leada’s knowledge as well, so if you have any questions, please ask her.”

Marches told Tauro.

“I understand.
I’ll talk to her as we go and see what she has to say.”

Tauro nodded, greeted Leada again, shook her hand and the meeting was over.

A few days later, after completing their preparations, Leada and Tauro boarded a carriage prepared by the Marches Trading Company and set off for the city of O’Circus, the second largest city in the country.
