Because I secured the top position in the quarterly ranking today, I plan to post three episodes tomorrow.
I was hyped up, but they quickly switched to receptionist mode.
"Then, Shota-san, I will appraise the items."
"Ah, yeah."
Aki and Maki started checking the number of magic stones. Since 'Tiny Magic Stones' are the most popular item in this 'Beginner Dungeon,' there is a dedicated device for counting them, into which they were pouring the stones with a jingle.
"Let's start with the magic stones. 'Tiny Magic Stones' are 200 yen each, totaling 151,000 yen. 'Medium Magic Stones' are 10,000 yen each, totaling 70,000 yen. 'Large Magic Stones' are 50,000 yen each, totaling 200,000 yen. In total, that's 421,000 yen."
"Compared to the last super-large batch, the total price has dropped, but even so, only Shota-kun can earn this much from magic stones."
If you pick up every single one, it will take all day... and it's a lot of work.
Aira, who does all of this, is really a hard worker.
As I was thinking this, Aki and Maki were quickly counting the 'Iron Knives' and tossing them into a dedicated box. Apparently, items other than magic stones are generally checked manually, which seems like a lot of work.
Well, normally, no one brings back this many.
I heard from the two of them before that, as receptionists, they are expected to be efficient. When they first started, they would level up among the adventurers and use 'SP' to actively increase their 'Dexterity.'
Now, my 'Dexterity' is probably higher, but their movements are the result of daily practice and are not easy to imitate.
"Sorry for the wait. Next, the 'Iron Knives.' At 1,500 yen each, there are 754 of them... that's 1,131,000 yen. Since the number is so high, I will arrange for them to be sent directly to the workshop that is affiliated with the 'Beginner Dungeon.' Iron from the dungeon is a good resource, so they might give it a special treatment if you send a large amount. Aila-san, can you help with the delivery later?"
"Sure, I'll take care of it."
"Even if you can make 10,000 yen from 'Iron Knives,' it's considered good. Over 100 times that... that's amazing."
Maki has a far-off look in her eyes. It seems that counting the 'Iron Knives' was quite a task.
Still, ever since returning from the Heart Dungeon, the 'Iron Knives' have been dropping 100% of the time. They were already dropping reasonably well from the start, and with 'Luck' at 10, it was probably around 2%. At 500, it's 100%. Most adventurers are probably below 10, so that's about right.
"Next, the 'Steel Greatsword.' At 180,000 yen each, that's 1,260,000 yen. There is demand for this, so I will send it to headquarters."
"By the way, the greatsword Shota-kun brought back last time is on sale in our shop."
"Really? It's quite popular, huh?"
"It's strong and durable, so it's a safe choice. By the way, the price is 200,000 yen."
"Hmm, a perfect price."
Considering that 'Iron Longswords' cost 50,000 yen, a wider sword of a higher rank... yeah, it's just right.
"Next, 'Super Strength'... what would you like to do with it?"
"You can put it on the 'Request' list. It wouldn't be right to force it into an auction now."
"Understood. I will do that. The revenue from this will be the same as the retail price listed in the app. In return, the guilds will be more flexible. If you accumulate enough requests, they might even consider unreasonable ones."
"For example, can you make it so that the side paths on the first floor are unusable for half a day?"
"Yes, it's possible. I already confirmed with the branch manager, thinking you might ask for this, Shota-san."
"Wow!"
That's a big deal. Being able to test whether 'General Goblins' spawn on the first floor and confirm the enhanced bodies, as well as check for duplicate trophies, is a big help.
"That's great. It was possible to use the family's influence, but it would create a debt to your mother."
"Ah, Ayane said she could do it too. With Aila's situation, it's better not to owe anyone."
"However, it can't be done immediately tomorrow, so I will let you know when it's possible."
"Sure, thanks."
"Then, lastly... 'Super Strength II.' What would you like to do with it?"
"Ah, that. I want to know what happens if someone who doesn't have 'Super Strength' uses it. Since Aila already has it, I was thinking of giving it to Aki, Maki, or Ayane..."
The three of them exchanged glances.
"I would like to help with Shota-san's experiment, but among us, I have the least opportunities to use skills, so I will decline."
Maki said this with a hint of disappointment.
"I also go into the dungeon occasionally, but it's mainly for stress relief, so it's fine. Ayane, you should take it."
"Is that okay? I will be ahead of the seniors in other skills as well..."
"It's fine if it helps Shota-san."
"That's right. Take it."
"Yes, I will definitely be of use!"
Ayane took the skill orb and obtained it.
"I have removed the interference. Please check, sir and seniors!"
Ayane said this proudly, apparently wanting Aki and Maki to see as well.
Skills: Appraisal Lv3, Appraisal Interference Lv3, Super Strength II, Leadership, Fire Magic Lv3, Wind Magic Lv2, Healing Magic Lv2, Wisdom of Magic

It seems she was able to skip 'Super Strength' and directly obtain 'Super Strength II.'
"I see."
"Sir, was it helpful?"
"Yes, it was a big help."
"I'm glad!"
Then, next, in Aila's case, who already has 'Super Strength,' will it overwrite to 'Super Strength II' or become 'Super Strength II (1/3)'... I'm looking forward to seeing what happens.
