"So Ryomi? How much do we get on this anyway?"
"It's about 50 coppers per weed, so 30 bronze coins in all... Plus if we sell the others outside of the request to the guild I'm sure they'll gladly give us more, maybe about 60-180 bronze coins..."
"I see... We have 100 high quality ones after all..."
"I don't know the market price but..."
As we arrived at the Explorers Guild, the receptionist was dumbfounded, she looked at every weed with a surprised expression...
"This are all high quality! It should sell about 1 bronze each!"
"What!?"
We were surprised by the sudden information that was laid upon us... We have a surplus amount of 100 weed in our hands, we can actually get 1 silver in a day if we were to gather these herbs... Shim was shivering as she counted how much she could earn in one day, as she was counting she couldn't help but smile and look forward to another day...
"Ah! Shizuoka! Saying unnecessary stuff again!"
The man yelled loudly as the receptionist said that we should sell it to the guild, since it's a high quality goods and are also needed in making medicines and potions...
"Robert! If it's of low or normal quality it would be okay to sell them to you in that price but with this being high quality goods, I can't help but think you're swindling children..."
"Kuu..."
The man the receptionist yelled at was "Robert the Meek" though with him actually arguing with the receptionist, I wouldn't call him meek though... He wore a long sleeved shirt, a baggy pants, and a pair of slippers... He looked tired as he was yawning and hunching his back as he walked towards us....
"So you two found some good high class herbs..."
"Yeah! We're gonna make a killing off of it!"
Shim declared so as she finally stopped counting and knew how much she could get from a hundred weeds.
"Then I'll buy this things for 5 bronze... All of it..."
""Eh!?""
Not only both of me and shim but also Shizuoka, the receptionist, was dumbfounded, a minute after hearing that Shim fell to the ground with her hands still trying to count... Ah! Her head overheated!
"Oi! Shim!
"Ehehe... F-five... F-five... B-bronze coins... Geh..."
"SHIIIIM!!!
She lost consciousness while happily smiling...
--
After 30 minutes, Shim came through and woke up... There Robert was quietly waiting for our reply...
"Why do you want to buy the weeds for 5 bronze coins each?"
"Isn't that obvious for my research... I'm still trying to find new ways of using those herbs... Also, since it was used for potions, I'm still looking for a way to increase the percent of which can be extracted from the [Sevun Weed]. I'm not just competing with the guild, they are selling those things at 10 bronze when you sell it to them, they are more cheaper than I am... Also you can't see anyone who will buy something like a normal grade and cheap grade [Sevun Weed] only the high class ones are bought and the others are thrown away, but I still use them for research purposes, nothing is wasted on me..."
Is this the so-called Meek in this world? He doesn't stutter and gets right to the point, has the meaning of the word "Meek" changed the moment I set foot in this world?

"I see... Then... You will be buying high quality herbs for 5 bronze, it's quantity is about a hundred then..."
"Here!"
A bag of coins plop down the table as he threw it towards our position.
Hurriedly, Shim counted the coins and looked towards me pressing for answers of how much we could get...
"About 10 silvers, right?"
"That's right..."
"Shim, how much is in there..."
"5-500 bronze coins!"
"Now that you've counted your money, can I have my goods..."
"A-Ah! Yes! Of course!"
Shim hurriedly got up and went to get the weeds, and hurriedly went back in a flash carrying to baskets of it...
"Also, you took my request as well..."
He passed us down another but this one is rather light... This must be the real payment...
"Thank you very much!"
"T-thank you very much!"
"Don't sweat it... Come by at the shop if you want to buy some medicine or potions, or if you want to learn how to make them"
He said so and left... While carrying two baskets in each of his hands...
"R-ryomi! 5-500 bronze coins!"
"Yeah!"
"We got 10 silvers in one go!"
I smiled as Shim jumped joyously in circles as we got or pay... Then suddenly she stops and...
"Oh yeah! Here your cut!"
She takes the other bag from my hand which had 30 bronze coins in and adds a sum of number inside it...
"Here!"
She hands it out towards me, as I received it, it certainly much heavier than before... As I counted it, it had 265 coins within it... This girl...
She already divided it for the both of us... I looked at her happily hugging the bag of coins in her hands...
"Guess, I'll have to treat you!"
"Nah! It's my treat this time, since I just started today... and also you've got something you're saving up for right?"
"Theeeeeen... I'll take you up on your offer then...
"Let's go?"
"Un!"
She nodded vigorously and took my hand, I suddenly remembered that she had sudden loss of vision for sometime now, I think my expression gave me off as she said, "Don't worry, my vision's okay... I just want to hold your hand, is it not okay?" With upturned eyes she pressed forth...
I, being a man once, couldn't help but be charmed by her cuteness and thus squeezed her hand tightly as if not wanting to let it go...
"T-then off we go..."
"Ehehe... Ryomi is embarrassed!"
"S-shut up I'm not!"
After buying some cake-like things, we went towards our hangout spot and ate as we talked about her sickness but was then cut off as she changed the topic all of a sudden, until the sun came down as we talked and laughed, and so our day ends with our first mission together completed without a hitch and got some extra too...
