They were all fired up, but they immediately switch to receptionist mode.
“Well then Shouta, let’s appraise your items.”
“Ah, yes.”
I say to Maki, and she starts checking the magic stones with Aki. Minuscule magic stones are the most popular items in beginner dungeons, so there’s a device to count them.
“Let’s start with the magic stones. Each is worth two hundred yen, making it a one hundred fifty-one thousand yen. Each medium magic stone is worth ten thousand yen, so it’s seventy thousand. Each large magic stone is worth fifty thousand yen, so it’s two hundred thousand. That brings it to a total of four hundred twenty-one thousand yen.”
“It’s less compared to that extra large one, but still, only Shouta can bring in this much money in magic stones.”
If I picked them up one by one, it would get dark right away… Not to mention how hard that would be. Aira is a real worker for picking them all.
As I think that, Aki and Maki quickly count the iron knives, and put them in a special box. It’s a bit of trouble too, because items other than magic stones are typically counted manually.
That’s because most people wouldn’t bring so many.
I’ve heard from them that this sort of efficiency is something the association looks for in receptionists. When they first join, they’re paired with adventurers to level up and use their SP to raise their Dexterity.
My Dexterity is higher now, but I don’t have the day-to-day experience with this kind of work, so I don’t think I can keep up with them.
“Thank you for waiting. Now for the iron knives. Each is worth fifteen hundred yen, and there are seven hundred fifty-four of them, so… It’s one million one hundred thirty-one thousand yen. They’re too many, so I will arrange for them to be sent directly to a workshop partnered with the association. Iron from dungeons is a good resource, so they might sweeten the deal if we send a lot.
Aira, can you help us carry this later?”
“Leave it to me.”
“People say you’re lucky to get ten thousand from iron knives… And you got a hundred times that…”
Maki says while looking into the distance. Counting them really is hard work.
Also, I think it was after returning from the Heart Dungeon that the drop rate for iron knives became a hundred percent. At first they dropped a lot of the time, so I think ten Luck gets me a two percent drop rate, and five hundred a one hundred percent drop rate.
Most adventurers are under ten Luck, so that’s why it’s like that.
“Next, steel great swords. Each is worth one hundred eighty thousand, so it’s one million two hundred sixty thousand yen. These are in demand, so we will send them to the main office.”
“By the way, the one you got before is up for sale in our store.”
“Really? They must be pretty popular.”
“It’s because they’re safe, strong, and sturdy. By the way, it costs two hundred thousand yen.”
“Hm, that’s a nice price.”
If iron long swords cost fifty thousand, a broader sword that’s a rank higher… Yes, it sounds about right.
“Next, Super Strength… What should we do?”
“You can send them to that ‘request’. I don’t want to squeeze them into the auction at this point.”
“Very well. The price will be the same shown on the application, but in return, various branches of the association will be accommodating. If you ask something, they might listen to you even if it’s not simple.”
“For example… If I asked for some side paths on the first floor to be off-limits for half a day. Is that doable?”
“Yes, it is. I thought you would ask something like that, so I checked with the branch manager beforehand.”
“Ooh!”
This is big. I can check if General Goblins can spawn on the first floor, and the powered up ones. And if I can get multiple trophies.
“That’s nice. I could exercise my family’s power, but then I would owe my mother something.”
“Ah, so you could do it too, Ayane. But you shouldn’t create debts, especially considering Aira’s issue.”
“That said, we can’t make that happen tomorrow. I’ll tell you when it can be done.”
“Yes, thank you.”
“Lastly… Super Strength II. What should we do about this?”
“Ah, about that. I wanted to know what would happen if someone who doesn’t have Super Strength used it. Aira already has it, so I was thinking about either Aki, Maki, or Ayane using it…”
The three girls look at each other.
“I do want to help with your experiments, but I’m the one who would make use of it the least, so I pass.”
Says Maki with a regretful tone.
“I go to dungeons from time to time, but it’s just to relieve stress, so I don’t really need it. You should take it, Ayane.”
“Are you sure? I already received Command, so getting another skill before you two…”
“If it helps Shouta, I don’t mind.”
“Exactly. Take it.”
“All right. I will definitely help him!”
Ayane takes the skill orb.
“I’m removing the barriers everyone, so check it.”
Ayane says with her chest puffed out. Apparently she wants Aki and Maki to check too.

It looks like she skipped Super Strength right into Super Strength II.
“I see.”
“Was that helpful, darling?”
“Yes, it was.”
“That’s great!”
Next, I want to see what would happen if Aira got it. Will it be rewritten by Super Strength II, or will it show as Super Strength II (1/3)? I can’t wait to see.
