Trading Permit

Trading Permit (商業通行手形) is the twenty-fifth chapter of the Reprise of the Spear Hero spin-off manga adaptation.

Synopsis
Naofumi continues to levels up. However, he is starting to become a person of interest to different countries. He must tread carefully in order to avoid starting any political conflicts.

Summary
After buying Keel, Naofumi takes him to the Old Man's shop to gear him up with armor and weapons. The Old man is worried that Naofumi is corrupted but still gets Keel some equipment. After buying the equipment, Motoyasu takes the Old Man to the back room and dumps all of the high-level drops he got from farming in Siltvelt. He asks the Old Man to sell them to Naofumi cheap in order to avoid suspicion which the Old Man agrees to.

After a couple of days, the two heroes meet up again and catch up on progress. Sakura has grown into her regular filolial form while Naofumi and Keel have leveled up a few levels. During their time separate, a Siltvelt emissary met Naofumi and asked him to go to Siltvelt. As planned, Naofumi politely declined and then planned another meeting with them and Motoyasu. As they are talking about the Siltvelt delegates, a delegate from Shieldfreeden pleads Naofumi to go to Shieldfreeden. Due to Shieldfreeden's connection to Takt, he immediately declines.

The next day, the two heroes meet with the Siltvelt emissary. Naofumi declines to go to Siltvelt again but then the emissary offers to get him a trading permit so that he can start his trading business. After they promise to get the permit, Naofumi and Motoyasu agree to go to Siltvelt secretly to avoid conflict.

Later on, Naofumi and Motoyasu discuss what kind of potential products they can sell.
