53 Episode 53: Another world business has a smooth sailing scent..txt




 After that, business was relatively steady.

 I had expected some harassment from competitors, but since the fabrics I dealt in were all nice to the touch but thin, they didn't seem to match the clientele who wanted durable fabrics, and I think I was able to differentiate myself from my competitors (stores that sold regular fabrics, often with thicker fabrics).

 Its use seems to have been well-received, with its use as a lining and tailoring to nightclothes and underwear. However, it doesn't have explosive sales (which, in a way, was the plan), and the daily sales are from 1,500 L at best to less than 1,000 L at worst, keeping it at "not-so-popular store in the market". After all, most of the customers are women, so as long as it stays at this level of popularity, it will be able to continue its business peacefully.
 It's a great business, though, considering the fact that it's a street market.

''Anyway, as far as the size of a single store is concerned, I guess this is the upper limit ....... If you want to make more money, it's still more advantageous to spread the risk by having multiple stores ....... In that case, you can either carry the same product or offer a different one ......, and there are plenty of products themselves ....... But since I started with a fabric store, I'd rather specialize in fabrics for a while ....... But, I'm not sure. ......, although it's good to increase the number of shops, it's not good to hire people. ...... It's also going to be hard to manage .......

What's up, Jiro? You're mumbling to yourself.

 As I was thinking about the future development of my business, apparently it was leaking out of my mouth, and Rebecca, who is coming to help me, asked me about it.
 Well, Rebecca-san knows the secrets of the mirror and is the most trustworthy person to ask for advice. Let's talk to her for a minute, I'll do that.

'So, it's called ----. For me, I don't want my business to be any more prominent than it needs to be. If it's just about products, I'd probably be the best merchant in Elishe, but if I go that route, I'd have to hire a lot of people, and I think I'd be too busy, so ......... ... Ideally, I'd like to work half a day and play half a day and make a modest income.

 I am a piece of shit, even if I am.
 But it's a shame that we're in a different world and all we have to do is work endlessly!

 Otherwise, the fact is that I'm the only one who can do the purchasing, so we have to be very careful about expanding the business, and we have to be stiff and careful. In addition to stocking, I'm doing all the shopkeeping and nettles (Deanna and Marina aren't going to be available for more than help. I've figured it out over the past few days).
 If I can, ...... No, I guess I'll have to hire one or two usable (...) people eventually.

 I'm sure you'll be able to help out in your spare time, Rebecca-san, but the frequency of monsters is increasing due to the proximity of the Hitotsutsuzuki, and I don't see how you can leave your house so easily.
 Rebecca would be the best human resource, though.


'I see. What do we do then? I can introduce you to some of the noblemen I know, if you like. Most of the nobles are rich, and if you have something you like, you can make a lot of money, right? I'll have to go to the Imperial Capital, so I'll have to wait until after Hitotsutsuzuki is over before I can introduce you to him.

'Ugh, Rebecca, you have an aristocratic acquaintance!

'Well, it's an old acquaintance of mine! I don't have a high knighthood, but I do have money! You know, like the kind of hobbyist who would pay out 100 gold coins to a rare magical beast that he'd tamed.

 100 gold coins are 100 pieces of 150,000 yen, or 15 million yen. A house will be built.

What are you going to do?

 However.

'Well, ......, I'd like to be introduced to you eventually, but for now I'm still going to work from a steady foothold in Elishe, so could the nobleman please wait a bit longer?'

 It's not even at the stage of going to the imperial capital to have a business meeting with a nobleman yet.
 I don't even know how far away the imperial capital is from Elishe: .......

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more. Then I think we'll just have to hire someone. I think there are a lot of people who want to work at Elishe, but ....... If I'm going to leave it all to you, I'd better use the guild's mediation.

'Oh, by the way, I heard that the guild does that kind of mediation as well: ......

''Yeah. I've got a lot of kids with spirit contracts and a lot of vocation related to business... I don't think that's a bad thing.

Child? Aren't you mainly a jobless old man?

Some people are like that, but ......, the main thing is that they're mediating a newly blessed child as an apprentice.

 Apprentice placement! I remember learning in world history class that there used to be an apprenticeship system like that.

But isn't a child who has just been blessed ...... at age 10 or so?

The age to receive the blessing is around 10 years old, but the guild's mediation is fixed at 12 years old. Also, if you are from a wealthy family, you will have to wait until you are out of school, so you might be a little older.

 I see. But .......

"Apprentice means you're an ...... apprentice, right? That means I'm going to be the master, right? ...... To be honest, I'm not sure I'm going to be a master at ....... I'm still working on it myself.

 When I said the word "apprentice" with trepidation, Rebecca sighed with a huff.

''What can I say, Jirou is very serious, isn't he? You don't have to take your apprenticeship so seriously! That's enough to make me feel like I'm going to use it (・・・・・).

But you have someone else's child in your care.

"Once you've been blessed, the Great Spirit will guide you through the rest."

 It seems that in this world, once you've been blessed, you're almost an adult, and the default practice is to send your children to the places that match their vocation. Each guild does its own mediation, and of course the chamber of commerce (merchant guild) introduces masters to children who have a vocation that is related to business.
 Normally, they say, children leave primary school up to the age of 12 and then go out into the world, and only a few rich kids go to higher schools.

 It's a world where there's a vocation, and there's less need for them to go to school than they need to. From the beginning, the Great Spirit has determined the path you should take. It's a very inconvenient world, depending on how you look at it.

 Well, if that's the case, I think I'll just show up at the guild next time and ask them.

 Orica's guidance to "learn another language" goes without saying, but I'm going to make them learn "Japanese".
 But it's not easy to teach them Japanese when my language sounds like Japanese to me, and my Japanese is automatically translated into theirs, so I was wondering what to do... --.

This is an apple. "This is an apple. Apple. "Apple. Oh, oh~

 When I deliberately tried to speak in Japanese, I was able to speak in normal Japanese.
 If you're not aware of it, everything is automatically translated into other world languages, but it seems you could have done it if you were aware of it.
 Well, I never really thought about speaking in Japanese over here, but ....... As a result, I am lucky to be bilingual. It was an unexpected blind spot.

 I gave Orica a couple of notebooks as a present, and I bought some picture books (and manga) from my parents' warehouse and a second-hand bookstore to use as Japanese textbooks.

 Orica was surprised by not only the books and manga, but also the notebooks and mechanical pencils, but I told her that they were from my hometown.
 Well, Orika is just a child of a rural village. I think she was satisfied with just "I didn't know there was such a thing!

 The problem is how to teach them, but I can't do anything about it, because I'm a high school graduate who hates studying.

 I have to write down various words and short sentences in both Japanese and local languages in a notebook and ask Orica to decipher them for me. ...... I guess I have to ask Orica to decipher them by herself.
 Also, it might be good to always talk to Orica in Japanese. The main purpose of the study abroad program in front of the station is to have a good conversation with Gaijin-san.

 I don't know if it's a vocation to learn a new language, but I think it's a good way to improve your writing skills or learn shorthand. At any rate, the learning efficiency is 5 times higher.

 Anyway, we have to take it easy at first.

This is a pen.
My name is Jiro.
Tomorrow it will be raining.
I like riding horses.
I'm hungry.
'Do you want a bath? Or is it rice?
I think we should call it a night.
Today is my evening.

 Okay, ...... let's leave it at that for today: .......

  -----------------------

 Only the apron and chainmail sold for more than I expected.
 I hope the apron will be about 10,000 yen. I'm surprised it was only expected to be about the same. I wonder if there is a race of people who are like apron collectors.
 The chainmail is not so-called "chain" but "chainmail" attached to a thick cloth, which has 7-part sleeves and leather woven around the edges.

 On the other hand, the buckler was made of leather and I thought it had a cool pattern on it, but it didn't stretch so much. I should have used the model.

 It's a great way to get a good bidding in.
 In addition to these items, I'm also selling cot sheets and antique linens this time, so the total price came to about 200,000 yen.
 I can stock up on a lot more if I have this much.

 As for the message board, I've gotten a little bored lately, so I haven't looked at it much.
 Basically, the fairy board is underpopulated, so if I, as the first person on the board, don't go there, the thread won't progress much. I've heard that a summary site has been created and the number of new residents is increasing.
 Well, it's a summary site, but it's just as good as a thread archive. If anything, it's just a log warehouse.

 However, I did upload a picture of my horse and Orica the other day. The thread was a little different from the usual, since there were new people here.

 The 6th picture of my mirror connected to another world.

    I'm surprised you've got a website to put it all together.

    Are the horses CG or real after all?
    Doesn't anyone know much about the analysis?

  291 :nameless fairy
    I've got three horses that look so expensive.
    If it was a picture taken in Japan, it would be easy to identify.
    You look like you live overseas, so that makes it difficult.

  292 :The Nameless Fairy
    The quality of the picture is so bad that it looks like a photo.
    It looks like a CG...the one is a bad one.

  293 :nameless fairy
    I'd like to see more pictures of the elves posted.

    You're an electronic fairy, so there's no gender or anything.

  301 :The Nameless Fairy
    Anyway, I've uploaded the images to a collection of sites.

  302 :The Nameless Fairy
    Dark Elf, you're a dirty eater.

  303 :The nameless fairy
    Stupid, that's the moe point.
    Maybe.

  304 :The Nameless Fairy
    No matter how much of a Black Elf you are.
    I'd be disillusioned if I ate it while it was making all those chattering noises.

  305 :The Nameless Fairy
    About the fact that the dishes are the same as the ones we have at home.
    I got this one from a 100 dollar store: ・・・・
    Doesn't the first one live abroad?

  306 :The Nameless Fairy
    It's not just a resemblance.

  307 :nameless fairy
    Even if I used it for a CG model, I don't think I'd bother to use a hundred of them.
    And if you're a model, what's the point of a high-end one?

  308 :nameless fairy
    You don't have the idea of using the one you had on hand as a model, do you?

  309 :The nameless fairy

    You can even get it from your phone these days, for God's sake.
    I've been waiting for you, Chichiyure.

  314 :nameless fairy
    Am I the only one who's most envious of a sober horse?

  315 :The Nameless Fairy
    Just you, just you, just you.
    I'm cool, I'm a heretic.

  316 :The Nameless Fairy
    You needn't be so obtrusive.
    Horses are the envy of me too, in Japan you have to have a lot of money.
    And there's no way I'm going to keep her.

  317 :nameless fairy
    Yes, yes, yes, yes, you're playing yourself.

  318 :1 ◆Xc544iUoWE
    I hope you enjoyed it.
    I haven't been able to do much here lately because I've been busy.
    I'll bring you a new picture next time.
    I'm not.

  -----------------------


 I think more people are taking it seriously than before.
 The original inhabitants are used to this kind of thread, so they are skeptical from the beginning, or they don't trust it easily, but people who come from the outside are more likely to believe in anything with impunity.
 Well, if someone really believes in another world, it's completely over the airwaves.

 Well, the inhabitants seem to be hungry for elves, so maybe I'll put up a picture of Lovely My Angel Priestess next time.
