Chapter 81: A Merchant Stops Thinking
The merchant Marches has lost one of his few connections and biggest business partner by betrayal.
Even though he has a large amount of merchandise, he has no ability to sell it. That’s the situation he’s in.
With the money he borrowed from Tauro, he was able to pay the rest to the landowner, but if he doesn’t sell the goods that are still loaded in the carriage, he won’t have any money in the end and since he didn’t have any business partner, he won’t be able to do business in the future.
So, again, Tauro suggested to Marches that he go to the city with him this time.
The city of Dareder, the territorial capital of Count Dareder, who was also the ruler of the village of Dansas where Tauro and his friends lived.
The Damaski Chamber of Commerce which tricked Marches also does business here.
It’s not a big business, but it’s a good one in the city of Dareder.
It was quite a good network for a simple merchant.

Thanks to this, the smaller merchant associations that might be willing to deal with a merchant would not be willing to deal with Marches for fear of pressure from the Damaski Chamber of Commerce.
So, he would have to have connections with other big merchant associations.
Tauro decided to use his own connections here.
“Garfish Chamber of Commerce?”
“Yes, the Garfish Chamber of Commerce.”
“Tauro-kun, even if it’s to counter the pressure of the Damaski Chamber of Commerce, the Garfish chamber of commerce won’t take kindly to a mere merchant…”
Marchese let out a weak cry.
“Let’s just go for now. It’s not good to give up without doing anything.”
“You’re right. let’s go with gusto!”
Marches made up his mind and decided to head to the Dareder branch of the Garfish chamber of commerce.
“Well, well, well, Tauro-kun, are you on an errand for Master Giro Sugar today?”

When we arrived at the Garfish chamber of commerce, an employee noticed Tauro and hurriedly came out of the store.
“There’s that, but today I’ve brought a person and a product that I’d like to introduce to the branch manager.”
Tauro was known as the apprentice of Giro Sugar, the craftsman who produced the special one-of-a-kind Reversi discs favored by the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce in the royal capital and he had come to this branch once to deliver the special discs.
“Okay, I understand. Please come to the back.”
The employee immediately invited them to the back.
Marches expected to be turned down at the front, so he said in disbelief,
“Eh?”
Marches’ thoughts were completely stopped.
From the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce, Tauro, a disciple of Giro Sugar was strictly treated with respect in all the branches due to the instruction given by the headquarters.
After all, the Garfish Chamber of Commerce is the only one that deals in special edition boards.
Ad
The value of the special discs is tremendous to the Garfish chamber of commerce, not only because of the high prices they command but also because of the connections they make with noblemen who want them.
The branch managers were made to understand this when they were called to the headquarters.
Dareder Branch Manager, Ed was also greatly praised when he delivered the Giro Sugar work directly to the capital.
It seems that the Chamber of Commerce had not been able to get a proper hold of the whereabouts of this Giro Sugar person.
So, when he reported it, they even offered him a special reward.
In addition, it was a privilege to be able to see his work.
After all, the world calls it the work of the phantom, Giro Sugar.
It was a miracle just to see it.
He had already seen one of the works and was taken aback by its detailed carving and innovative design.
The head of the branch in the next town was already envious of him.
It seemed that Tauro, his apprentice had brought in another piece.
Could the person who came with him be Giro Sugar himself?
Ed, the head of the Dareder branch, welcomed them into the guest room with a sense of excitement.
“So, what can I do for you today?”
Ed was the first to start the conversation.
As a greeting, Tauro took one of the special one-of-a-kind discs from his magic storage and presented it to Ed.
“First of all, I’m here to deliver my new creation.”
“This is wonderful…!”
Ed was impressed by the new piece.
“Is it possible that the board is made of metal?”
“Yes, the master said he tried to be a little elaborate…”
“The idea is amazing!”
Ed was all smiles, knowing that he had something to brag about to his fellow chapter leaders in the neighboring towns.
“Now that we have that out of the way, I have something else to tell you.”
“Oh, what is it? Is it related to this man?”
Ed could tell from the vibe of Tauro’s companion that it wasn’t Giro Sugar himself.
“Would you be interested in doing business with the village of Dansas?”
“Hoho…I’ve heard rumors, but I believe the Damaski chamber of commerce handles the goods there?”
At once, Branch Manager Ed’s face turned into a merchant’s face.
“The merchant who distributes the products is Marches-san.”

“Let’s talk in detail.”
Sensing a business opportunity, Ed shifted his weight forward.
