After the training, as originally planned, we are going organize the warehouse with the other adventurers who are staying at the inn. After completing the registration at the guild, we all head to the warehouse district by the river.
By the way, Sue is not wearing a magician hat.
Well, it seems that Sue has some opinions about it.
「「「Good morning. 」」」
“Good morning. Oh, there is a new recruit huh.”
“My name is Sue. Nice to meet you.”
“Well, that’s a very polite greeting.”
We greeted the dandy warehouse owner, who seemed to notice Sue as well. Sue greeted him in return, and the warehouse owner nodded in satisfaction.
He then led us to the warehouse.
“This is the warehouse that you’ll be working on today. I am handling tea business you see.”
“How should we clean it?”
“It’s basically the same as any other warehouse, like cleaning the floors and discarding decaying crates. It would be helpful if you could also clean the still usable crates.”
“Understood. We’ll do our best.”
The work is basically the same, so we start working right away. We have to clean a large warehouse, but as everyone has gotten used to it, we have become more efficient.
By the way, Sue mainly uses a broom to sweep.
Shiro, who is strong enough, is nimbly carrying the crates that is no longer usable and placed them outside. About four hours after the start of the work, the cleaning of the warehouse has been completed.
“Good job. As expected, it’s completely cleaned up.”
“Well, we’re gradually getting the hang of it.”
The warehouse owner nodded in satisfaction when he saw the clean warehouse.
Then at that moment, a new shipment arrived. The person who works at this warehouse immediately began to check its contents.
“This is black tea from Assam. It was ordered by the Margrave for his reception.”
“Heh~, is that so?”
The items in the crates seemed to be a luxury items, and the order was apparently placed by the lord.
Somehow, the name of the tea production area is similar to my previous life. I only know the brand that was written on the tea in the vending machine though.
Oh?
Suddenly, the person inspecting the delivered goods doesn’t look very good. Sue seems to have noticed something, too.
“Uhm, excuse me. I may have guessed wrong, but isn’t this the cheap tea from Ceylon?”
“Oh, you have a good nose, Miss. I was thinking the same thing.”
Sue’s thoughts coincide with the thoughts of the person who was inspecting the product.
Sue knows a lot about tea huh.
Then the warehouse owner also began to inspect the goods, but his expression immediately darkened.
“Did that company made a mistake with the shipment again or did they do it on purpose!?”
“E-either way, this is bad.”
“That’s right. There is a merchant in the Royal Capital that is solely in charge of the tea trade, but he is connected to a nobleman who has some pretty bad reputation….”
The warehouse owner also seemed to be quite upset about this, apparently not expecting this situation at all.
“I’m going to go to the Margrave for a moment. I need to report this in detail.”
“Sigh. Of all things, why with the goods that the Lord has ordered?”
“How many times have this happened now? The Margrave is a good man, but he is strict when it comes to deception.”
With that, the warehouse owner hurriedly changed his clothes and headed for the residence of the Margrave.
Uhm, what are we going to do?
