I Noticed That It Was an Academy After 10 Years

257.Business Is Not Done With Words (5)

“There are three guys competing for the top stock position?”

[Huh. They say the force is divided between that Adam or something, an executive named Gross, and an executive named Bedin.]

Is it three people? I understand why Adam tried to attract me by offering valuable items to me. My prosthetic hand sales business was not that big in terms of scale, but since it is a monopolized industry, the location itself is not small.

Since my name has value, he must have thought that he could gain an advantageous position in the succession plan if he brought me to his side.

“What does this guy named Gross do?”

[He is in charge of fund management at the top of Deern!]

Money management… Approval. This one is quite a big deal.

Since ancient times, positions that manage funds have been quite powerful. It was obvious that the executive named Gross was also quite powerful. There is a high probability that he is exploiting the weaknesses of other executives.

“Rue. Have you heard what kind of personality he has?”

[Hmm…I have an irritating personality!]

Isn’t it rare to have a boss who doesn’t get annoyed? Anyway, at least this guy named Gross doesn’t seem to be a very good boss. Of course, there may be a twist, but since I said I have an irritating personality, that will be rare.

I would like to contact you if possible, but that would be difficult.

Still, I have no intention of quitting this job at all.

It’s not bad to take what you get and leave, but it was too uncomfortable to just ignore it. It wasn’t a good thing for me to see the leader of the Dern merchants fall from power like this.

First of all, since we had been seeing each other for several months, it wasn’t like we were completely indifferent. In most cases, it won’t cause any harm to me, but… It’s something that happens to people, even if you know it, you don’t know.

“Rue. Who is the executive named Bedin?”

[The original member of Dern Sangsang! The saltiest at the top of Dern? They say approval is the highest. The soldiers said he was a good person!]

It’s not a joke, it’s a joke. Anyway, does that mean he is a good person? It would be nice if we could meet in person, but it would be difficult for me to contact executives directly. Is it a priority to acquire information through Sif?

“Is there any other information?”

[Hmm…I guess the kid I brainwashed is leaning towards Adam! And um… You were talking about ‘business’?]

“Business?”

[Huh. Some executives were trying to start a big business, but the owner of the business was opposed.]

Big business?

What kind of business are you doing that makes you call it a big business?

It feels like questions are only increasing rather than being resolved clearly. In the first place, what information would you get by stealing the body of a low-ranking guard?

“Rue. Did you erase the traces well?”

[No one will know? You might think it’s a little strange, but…]

In the first place, only foreign media can use brainwashing magic, so there is no need to worry about being caught.

I just lay down on the bed and closed my eyes.

I’m going to be busy again for a while.

If you just check the top stocks, you’ll either have to let go.

And…

———————

“Are you asking me to come in as a pinch hitter today?”

“Okay. I think there was a problem at the top of the transaction. I think we need to resolve that issue.”

“Working two days in a row is a bit tough…”

“I’ll buy you a decent drink as an apology.”

“Then there’s nothing I can do.”

Leni nodded her head willingly when she said she would buy her a drink instead. Is alcohol that good? I’m not sure. If you think about it, mercenaries tend to drink a lot, so it could be said that Lenny was also influenced by that.

“Thank you.”

“Please resolve it as quickly as possible.”

“I will try my best.”

It doesn’t seem like it will end that easily, but I also planned to get it sorted out as quickly as possible.

“Then will you please leave? “I have to change my clothes.”

“Good luck.”

“Ugh.”

I left the room, leaving Lenny behind, who had picked up the knight’s livery. The chilly air still surrounds me. Since there was no heating in the hallway, the air in the hallway was cool.

[Contractor, go right away?]

“No. The top goes in the afternoon.”

Since I didn’t have anything to do in the morning, and since I couldn’t blatantly wander around inside the upper deck, I planned to make a good excuse and go in the afternoon.

I won’t be accepting orders for prosthetic hands for a while, and considering the messy atmosphere at the top, a lot of attention will be on me.

There was no need to do anything noticeable.

It would have been better to collect information little by little while making an excuse to talk about work with Sif.

[Then what do you do in the morning?]

“I’m going to the hospital.”

Let’s first check if what Adam said is true.

I took steps towards my destination.

—————————-

How many hospitals are there in this vast city of Calon?

There were only three hospitals in this huge city. There are four if you take into account the ones inside the academy, but those are only for academy students… There are three places I need to visit.

I rented a carriage and quickly arrived at the first hospital.

The hospital I entered after opening the door was deserted. It seems that hospitals in this world are mainly used by wealthy people. I walked straight to the counter and asked the staff.

“Welcome…Uh, by any chance…Lord Quartz?”

“That’s right.”

“It’s an honor to meet you!”

The employee sitting at the counter seemed so happy to see me that he held my hand and shook it up and down. It was a rather strong reaction to meeting someone I admired, so I had no choice but to ask.

“You look very happy.”

“My brother was saved thanks to Lord Quartz! Thank you so much!”

“Lord Quartz?”

“Who is he?”

“I heard he’s a handsome guy with a cheerful look…”

“No, that’s a rumor? I told you it had a scary-looking face like an orc. Look, it’s a face that looks like it could easily rip a devil to pieces. “Am I right?”

…How on earth are rumors spreading about me?

“So, Lord Quartz, what brought you here?”

“I want to know if Dern, the owner of Dern Sangboang, is hospitalized here.”

“There has never been a Dern merchant hospitalized in our hospital!”

“Thank you.”

I immediately turned around and tried to leave the hospital. However, the employee called me over in an urgent voice, as if there was still business left.

“Lord Quartz! “Can you please sign it?”

“It’s a sign…”

That’s about it. I took the paper and pen politely offered by the staff member and wrote down my name in the language of this world.

Even though it was just a name and not an autograph, the employee was so happy to see me holding the piece of paper with my name written in large letters.

“Thank you! “I’ll make it a heirloom!”

“What is my cause of death?”

“They say the autograph left by the hero who defeated the great evil Harpas was worth it!”

Is that so?

I don’t know if that one sign makes that much of a difference.

“Then I will go.”

“Oh, are you planning on going to another hospital?”

“Yes.”

“Then I recommend that you look for Thomas at Gallamere Hospital. I’m very picky about things like rumors around me. Please find Nino at Mustiola Hospital. “If you tell her that Lottie introduced you, she will answer anything.”

“Thank you.”

“At this rate, I haven’t been able to repay even half of the favor. Then take a look!”

You were lucky. This is how you get information. I headed straight to Galamere Hospital. This was closer in terms of distance, and you had to pass by it anyway to get to Mustiola Hospital.

I immediately opened the door to Galamere Hospital and looked for Thomas. Fortunately, Thomas was sitting in front of the counter, looking at the documents.

“What brings you here… Are you Lord Quartz?”

“…That’s right. “I guess my face is pretty well known.”

“Because you have such a unique appearance.”

“…I’m not sure.”

“In the first place, you don’t know your own personality, right?”

“Can we just move on to the main topic?”

“Ah yes. “Why are you looking for me?”

“Lottie said that if she wants to ask anything, she should find you.”

“Ah yes. “What did you come to ask?”

“Is Dern Sanjang-ju hospitalized here by any chance?”

“No. Dern Sangsangju has never been here.”

“I get it. Then I have to go to Mustiola Hospital.”

“There probably won’t be any Sangsangju even if you go there.”

“What?”

I looked back at Thomas at the story he brought up. He continued his explanation in a calm voice, unlike Lottie who made a fuss.

“The staff at the three hospitals share some information for cooperation, so if a big name like that was hospitalized, they would have heard rumors.”

“Hmm. Then let me ask you just one question. Is there a place where the big man can hide and receive treatment? ?”

In response to my question, he glanced around and quietly whispered in my ear.

“…There are hospitals even in the black market.”

“I see.”

So, did you get all the information you could?

“Thanks. Then, good luck.”

Is Sif next?

I hope you get meaningful information, and I am on my way to the top.
