I Was Transported to Another World, but I Negotiated and Persuaded Both the Goddess and the Demon King. C88

Chapter 88: The Appraiser's Dilemma!

"By the way, Shikibu, is it okay for us to go to the Lord's place?"

"Oh, yes! There are just too many problems, and I've lost track of priorities..."

In the midst of Al's conversation, the idea of going to the Lord's place about the Goblin Lord issue was beginning to be forgotten. Perhaps it was because the Demon Lord posed a greater threat than the Goblin Lord...

Shikibu went to prepare in the back room. Ilia and Toguru went downstairs. Laura immediately returned to her room, looking excited as she started working on a report. In the room, it was just me, Murasaki, and Kanna.

"Tact-san, I'm sorry."

Kanna bowed her head.

"It's fine. We'll understand eventually."

"But..."

"You did the right thing as an appraiser, so don't worry!"

"Yes..."

Kanna seemed downcast. Well, that's understandable. After all, her words had led to such a serious situation.

"Kanna, do you think it would have been better if you hadn't said anything at that time?"

"I don't know."

"I thought so. Regardless, wouldn't it be easier on your conscience to be honest now, rather than deceiving everyone who was there if you hadn't said anything? Think about it. In terms of numbers and positions, it's only natural for you to choose Shikibu and Murasaki."

"But..."

"As an appraiser, you'll likely encounter such situations many times in the future, and if you keep apologizing each time, there will be no end to it!"

"Yes..."

"Have confidence in your actions. You're a proud appraiser."

"Yes, you're right. Thank you."

"You're talking big, but you're unemployed!"

"Shut up!"

Murasaki's retort brought a smile back to Kanna's gloomy face. It seems that the challenges of work and human relationships are the same in any world. I haven't been to other towns yet, but did Eline choose this town first because she thought it would be suitable for me in her own way?

Shikibu emerged from the back room, now dressed in what appeared to be formal attire.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. Tact, can you change into something else too?"

"...I don't have anything else to change into!"

"Huh? Just that outfit?"

"Yeah, it's just this villager's clothing."

Shikibu stumbled and leaned on the table.

"Why do you only have villager's clothing when you're not even short on money?"

"I didn't really need anything else..."

"You've only just realized that it's subpar compared to adventurer's initial equipment, and yet you still go beyond that."

"Well, I guess I lack common sense!"

"There's no helping it. We don't have time to make new clothes now, so let's go with that outfit."

"Can't you buy clothes at a store?"

"What nonsense are you talking? Clothes have to be custom-made because everyone's body shape is different."

"Is that so? I didn't know that."

"Tact, you really are exceptional and unconventional..."

"Hahaha..."
