The Support Manages the Adventurer Parties!! Volume 1 Chapter 2

“Well, how are you?”, I said to myself while on the first floor of an inn, gnawing at cold bread while stroking my unshaven chin.

I am Kenji an adventurer that retired before 30. This has caused me to lose my means of providing for myself.

When I was in j.a.pan, I was a consultant.

At first, I thought of making a living through consulting, but the guild was already firmly established in that market with little room for anyone else, combined with the fact that I had no start-up capital, so I gave up on it.

“Hey, what are you doing?”, called out Sarah the Archer.

This redheaded woman joined our party two years ago.

I think she is past 20, but it is difficult to determine due to her being part foreigner.

Even if I ask her she only says that it is a secret.

She seems quite worried about her age.

How should I say it, is it the difference between our cultures or is she being sophisticated? I think that we have the same words but different meaning (TN: Need to redo this one.)

“You shouldn’t buy that arrowhead it is expensive.”

“Could you not be so nosy about how I spend my money?”

Adventurers are quite careless when it comes to money.

Because all they know is how to fight they are unfamiliar with the concepts of economics

Therefore, they tend to get ripped off.

Take Sarah as an example. She had a terrible sense of money and as  a result was always penniless. Being unable to just stand by and watch them waste their money I taught them that buying in bulk could save them money.

If you buy the arrowheads, shaft and feathers separate you can build them yourselves.

Even if an archer were to buy an arrow they would end up adjusting it themselves to suit their preference.

As a result, the difference in labour between buying an arrow and making one yourselves is minimal.

How many people are buying arrows as they use them?

What percentage can be reused?

What is the market price and how much can you save by buying in bulk?

Using my knowledge from when I was a consultant, I was able to reduce our arrow expenses to 1/6th of what it normally was.

They treated me to a drink as thanks.

They understood that such expenditures were no good.

Adventurers tend to be the poor people who run off with no education.

Money is a necessity for beginners for them to arrange equipment but, they squander their money without saving any.

This results in them struggling to raise their rank.

This is a downward spiral that keeps repeating itself.

I was transported here in my mid-twenties. I was able to do well because of my good money sense.

I helped my party by managing their finances

Well, it seems they weren’t able to understand much, except for Sarah, because they were idiots but…

Is it helping those like Sarah.

I do not care much for consulting other adventure parties.

But it cannot be help in order to earn money.

With that in mind, I decided to start ‘Adventure part management consultation’.
