<h4>Chapter 127: Gold Medal</h4>


    Arge lodge waspleted in Luganda just prior to the Four-Town Mobile Force Tournament.


    It’s a three-story building with 50 rooms.


    With a maximum capacity of 200 people, it’s thergest building in Luganda.


    Well~~ I’m d we were able to make it in time for the tournament.


    There are a lot of tourists who would only be here for a day, but it seems that some of them stay overnight.


    We are nning to have the tournament participants and spectators sleep here.


    The lodge is already booked and is expected to be fully upied on the day of the tournament.


    We n to use the lodge even after the tournament is over.


    We are nning to rent rooms to adventurers in the area.


    There’s a rumor going around that Luganda Dungeon is a good source of ie, and nearby farmers and various other people areing to work there for winter.


    On average, they spend about 20 days here, but most of them live in temporary huts in the forest.


    Those temporary huts aren’t very good ces to live in.


    They are simply patchwork houses made of long branches that have fallen around the area, tied together with hemp rope and vines, and topped with pine and other trees’ leaves to serve as a roof.


    The cold season is just beginning.


    Living in a temporary hut in the extreme cold of Luganda would be difficult.


    For such adventurers, we are nning to keep the fees low.


    Luganda’s main iees from amodation fees, dungeon entrance fees, and elevator usage fees, so we want as many adventurers toe to Luganda.


    For this reason, this kind of infrastructure development is indispensable.


    However, the increase in the number of visitors has caused some problems.


    The crime rate has increased.


    Since Michelle and the others had been keeping them in check with their res, there have been heinous crimes, but some drunken idiots often start fights and other incidents.


    Some men try to mess with the girls, and there are also some troublesome female adventurers who tried to abduct the handsome boys.


    It’s difficult to control such people.


    Fortunately, many of the residents are skilled fighters, so thanks to everyone’s cooperation, peace in Luganda is maintained.


    Today too, Garm and his group caught three ruffians.


    They were mugging people in broad daylight.


    I’m d they were caught before the residents were harmed.


    [Yahagi-san, I put those three idiots in jail for drawing their swords in the za.]


    [Thanks, Garm. Are you or the others hurt?]


    [Nah, dealing with their bunch is easy for us.]


    Garm and the others have certainly be more robust.


    Their opponents may be weaker than them, but they still managed to subdue adventurers who had drawn their swords.


    [It may not be much, but take this.]


    In addition to reward money, I also gave them a product from my store.


    Product: Gold Medal Choco


    Description: Chocte in the shape of a gold medal with a red ribbon. Wearing it around the neck lifts up one’s spirits, and when eaten, it increases physical strength, speed and magic power by a small amount each.


    Price: 150 rims


    It’s very useful because it raises three kinds of abilities by itself, but few people buy it because of its high price.


    It’s probably because eating three kinds of snacks that could give them the same effect would be cheaper.


    My stock of these gold medal choco is full, so it was just right to give to Garm and the others as a reward.


    [Ohh, this looks cool!]


    [Hehe, this might be the first time I’ve ever beenplimented…… This feels kinda embarrassing, but I like it.]


    [Let’s go show it off to the others!]


    Team Garm happily wore the chocte on their necks.


    Thete teens of this world still hadn’t been worn down by the world, making them innocent in this aspect.


    It’s an amusing sight seeing strong-looking guys with dagashis dangling from their necks.


    I guess this is also gap moe?


    [Ah, wait. I have a favor to ask you and your group, Garm.]


    [What is it, Yahagi-san? If there’s anything we can do, let us know.]


    [There’s a Mobile Force Tournamenting up, right? I’d like Team Garm to act as security guards for it, if possible. Well, I won’t force you, Garm, since you’re also one of our representative yers.]


    [What does a security guard do?]


    [All kinds of things. They help guide spectators, protect lost children, break up fights, and arrest criminals. Of course, I will pay you well.]


    They are all strong but good-natured people.


    Because they dive into the dungeon together, they work well together.


    I think they’d make the perfect security force.


    [In other words, it’s like guards?]


    [That’s right.]


    [It’s for Yahagi-san, who has always been taking care of us. You guys wanna give it a shot?]


    [Ou!]


    [Thanks. This will make the tournament run smoothly. I’ll get you the security guard manuals and uniforms.]


    [Uniforms?]


    [Yeah, you’ll have to wear it so it’s easy to recognize your status. We’ll make sure it’s got a good design.]


    When I told them about the uniforms, Garm and the others looked delighted.


    Are they at the age when they like such things?


    The cold weather in Luganda is getting severe.


    It’s finally the season for the magic heater to be put to use.


    I told Michelle, who was refilling the heater in the living room with magic crystals, about Garm and the others.


    [I’ve asked Team Garm to take care of the security. I’m sure they’ll do a great job on this.]


    [I’m d to hear that. I’ll also be on the lookout on the day of the event, so don’t worry. I will catch all the bad guys and punish them.]


    [No, no, Michelle has a very important job yourself, remember?]


    [Eh?]


    [As the territory lord’s fiancée, you have to wee our guests.]


    [Ah……]


    [Michelle!?]


    She just copsed with steaming out of her head!


    [Pull yourself together, Michelle!]


    [I’m sorry. I was so happy that I lost consciousness…… Eh, I wonder if I should do some smile training? Also, maybe I should get myself a more mboyant dress.]


    [You’re already charming as you are, Michelle. If you want to get some dresses though, we can have that arranged.]


    The tournament is only a month away.


    I want to increase my sales here and level up.


    We’ve got everything ready to go.


    [By the way, how are the energy packsing along?]


    [The materials are almost ready. We’re still short on quantity, but don’t worry, we’re gathering them little by little from the dungeon.]


    [Don’t push yourself too hard, okay?]


    [I’ll be fine. The dungeon elevator is making our search a lot easier.]


    Saying this, Michelle confidently puffed out her chest.


    I’d like to boost sales at the tournament and get myself much-needed level-ups.


    At this rate, it won’t be long before we can get the Zord moving.


    But before that, it seemed like the dungeon elevator had caused a bit of a ruckus……
