72 CHAPTER VI MANAGE THE MASTER'S STORE ④




 
'Master Leo, Master Leo! Wake up! It's morning.
 Mmm ...... I can hear the bell. ...... Is it morning already? .......

Mmm ...... it's still early.

'What are you talking about? I thought Leo-sama told you to wake me up at this time!

'Did I say so ......? Unun......
 It's still early. ...... I'd rather be in bed. .......

'What are you sleepin' on! Aren't you going to help your master in his shop today?

'Oh, yeah, that's right: ...... I have to get up. ......
 He got up, rubbing his eyelids.

"Master Leo continues to have a weak morning.

'Yeah ...... I went to bed early yesterday. ......
 I'm sure I didn't stay up late today because I'm having a hard day ...... sleepy .
 With that in mind, I walked out of my room .

Good morning. It seems that there are already a lot of people in the shop.
 When I walked out of the room, Eric was waiting for me and gave me the status of the store.

I knew it was ...... then we had to hurry.
 But I'm sleepy: .......

 I hurriedly ate my breakfast, fighting sleepiness.
 About 30 minutes later, I finished packing.

Okay, I'll be going.
 Having said that, I moved to Master's shop.

''Master! They're here!
 Master came out of the workroom as I greeted him.

Oh, there you are. It's not safe out there.

I guess so.

 A look outside: ......
Hey! Not yet!
I've been waiting for this since yesterday. Make it quick!
 And he was banging on the door more and more.

'He's going to destroy the store if we don't hurry.

Well, yeah. Shall we open earlier?

Yeah, okay. All right.

You want me to open it?
 You don't want to go out there, do you?

Yeah. You're supposed to be stronger than me. I asked.

'Okay. ...... Oh, yes! Shall I make you a numbered ticket?
 I got an idea!

A numbered ticket?

"Yes. You give them a numbered tag, and they can choose their items in that order.
 Maybe then we can limit the number of people in the room.

That's a great idea. I'll look after you, then.

I understand.
 Then I created a basket with a numbered tag inside.

"Your magic is as useful as ever.

Okay. Okay, I'll just go pass these out.

Oh, you're on it.

Oh, it's open!

'Wait a minute! I'll explain it to you now!
 When I stepped outside, my vision was filled with people.
 It looked like they were going to enter the building when it opened, but I managed to hold them back.

Excuse me. Our store is small and we don't have enough product for this number of people, so I'm limiting the number of people who can shop there to a hundred. Also, I'm going to hand out these tags to the people in front of me first, so please accept them.
 Then I handed the bill to the nearest one.

"What's this?

The idea is that you can shop in the order they're written. One to a hundred.

Oh, I get it. That's how you regulate entry, isn't it?

'Well, yes. If we start like this, people at the back of the line won't be able to buy anything. We don't want to waste your precious time, so we'll regulate your entrance in this way.



Okay. So, if I get it, can I come in?
 Just relax. How badly do you want it.

Well, wait. It's pretty small in there, so no more than five people can go in first. I'll guide you in when I've finished handing these out, please.

Yeah, okay.
I guess that means we're almost in.

 Then I finished handing out a hundred cards, and I apologized to those who hadn't received a bill and sent them home.
 I spent about 30 minutes doing this alone.
Okay, we're open. First of all, let me remind you that the featured sword is limited to five swords a day, so please be careful with that.

What? You've been waiting all this time to get one? That's not gonna happen~

Well, well, our store isn't just selling swords. It's only available to 100 people a day.

''Yeah, well, I guess I can't do the ...... sword, but I'll just take a look at the ...... other products.''
 People are weak on the word "limited.

Thank you for your understanding. Okay, one to five! Please come into the store with your tags!

No~ I'm glad I've been standing in line since yesterday. Well, let's take a look at the main attraction~
I can barely get in.
I think I've managed to get the sword to my master.
I can't wait to see what kind of sword it is.
The sword.

 They walked happily into the store.
"Welcome. This is what you're looking for, right?
 Master showed the five men who entered the room five swords.
 Their features were different, but they looked the same as the swords my uncle used.

''Wow~''
 They looked at the sword and marveled in unison.

''Then that's five gold pieces a piece.

It's expensive, but it's cheaper than I thought it would be ......
With that kind of performance, I'd be willing to pay more.
 While saying that, the five of them paid immediately without even thinking about it .

''I thought I set it high . ......
 Because in a previous life, it would have been about a million dollars.
 Let's raise the price a little: .......

'Every time! Now let me explain the sword. This sword consumes more magic than ordinary magic tools. So if you use it in battle or anything else, take more magic stones with you.

One question.
 One of the five men raised his hand.

"What?

What are the properties of the magic stones you use?

You can use whatever you want.

Like it? So does that mean everything's okay?

Yeah, but the effect will vary depending on the attribute of the magic stone you use.

What do you mean?

It's simple. A flame is a flame, an ice is an ice, and so on, and that changes the magic you can use.

I see. ...... That's interesting. ...... Let's try some things.

Okay, we'll see what happens next. Try it out on the outside.

 He took five men out of the store and quickly brought the next customer into the room.
"Yes, five at a time, please. We can only have two items per person.

'Finally, ...... Now let's see what kind of magic tools we have on hand~'
You're up to two... ...... We need to think this through.

 Slowly and steadily, people are entering the store again.

Oh, this is a stick that can wear lightning magic. This'll make a good weapon for self-defense.
'Whoa! Jesus Christ! I've never seen a surprise box like this. I think I'm gonna have to buy one of these and give it to that guy. Kukuku. ......
What is this ball? What, can you relax just by looking at it? Do you have trouble sleeping? Oh, you can even make something like that! I'll have to buy this one by all means.

 I'm glad to see that people are surprised by the magic tools here.
 I'm glad to see that they also buy other magic tools besides swords.



"Yes, sir. Thirteen pieces of silver in total.

Yes.

Always!

You're next!

 Two hours later

"Thank you.
 The last guest is gone.

I'm tired. Can't we do this every day? And tomorrow, I'll have to do it alone, Master.
 You can make a lot of money, but this is tough.

Sure, ...... but that's beside the point. Well, that was quick, so let's just have a party.

Oh, yes. Let's do it!

Then I'll take you to my favorite place.

Are you sure? Thank you.

Oh, you can have all the food you want.

'Great work, Master! Fatty!
 Yes!
