(Thank you for reading at bayabuscotranslation.com)

I realized my screw-up, and I felt like I was going to collapse. My head was spinning. Ever since I started entering dungeons, I had been thinking lately that my mind was sharp, and yet…

I was appalled at the fact that I had messed up properly. Even though I had information that such items could appear, I never imagined I’d get the chance to obtain one myself.

When I stepped out of the appraisal room in a gloomy mood, the Onee-san was standing there.

“You’re out! Wait, are you okay? Your face is completely pale?” (Suzuki)

“Eh, …um, I’m fine.” (Kouta)

Apparently, she had been waiting for me.

“Shouldn’t you rest a little?” (Suzuki)

“Really, I’m fine.” (Kouta)

I just wanted to hurry home and sleep. That so-called sulking sleep.

When you’re completely dejected, nothing beats it.

“Okay? Then, I’ll just tell you what’s necessary.” (Suzuki)

I wonder if something happened.

“Rare items or new information from inside dungeons are subject to purchase. This is something guild staff only tell to people who seem to have such information.” (Suzuki)

For some reason, Onee-san said it proudly.

It’s a relatively well-known thing, and in public, people sometimes bash it, saying the info fee is too high. But on the explorer side, people say it’s too cheap to bother offering anything, so it’s a hard issue to settle.

“The price settings in Japan are 100,000, 300,000, 500,000, and 1,000,000 yen! If Kouta-kun is willing to talk, I’ll call the information officer. What do you say?” (Suzuki)

“Can the information officer come out immediately?” (Kouta)

“No, there are only a few in Japan, so you’ll contact them and set a date to meet. Looks like they’re planning to revise the fees soon too, so they’re busy now sharing info to avoid inconsistencies between government settings and between the officers themselves.” (Suzuki)

When I realized the info I had could be turned into money, my condition started improving.

I really am simple.

“Ah, Japan is planning to raise the info fees, following other countries, right?” (Kouta)

“Yeah, and they’re planning to remove the fixed brackets and change it to something like 100,000 to 5,000,000 yen. Even then, it’ll still only be about half of what the US or UK pays though.” (Suzuki)

“Then, I’d profit more selling to other countries.” (Kouta)

“Hey, wait, wait, wait! It’s info about Japan’s dungeons! If it’s monster info or item info, then… yeah, you could probably sell it.” (Suzuki)

Come on, Onee-san, try a little harder to stop me. Why are you agreeing? Now that I knew it could be turned into money, and I don’t have any hobby of teasing Onee-san who’s always helped me…

“For now, I’ll think about it after the fees go up.” (Kouta)

“Yeah, that’s best. But don’t let others find out and end up missing the chance to sell. You’d lose out.” (Suzuki)

“You’re right! I’ll take it to heart.” (Kouta)

“Good!” (Suzuki)

Thanks to Onee-san, I headed home with light steps.

Next time, maybe I should bring her something as a gift?
