"Wow, this is a store?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

A store, as I recall, is where you buy things, as my grandmother used to say.

In a big village, you have to spend money, right?

It's strange, isn't it?

　The first store was opened in this village.

　It was a small store with a space of about two rooms made of wood. The space near the entrance is used as the store, and the back room is used to store items for sale at the general store.

　This was the first time for me to actually see a store, so it was a strange experience for me. The exterior of the shop is the same as that of a house, partly because it is made of the same wooden materials used to build houses. The only distinctive feature is the horizontal opening door, above which is written only 'General Store.

　He said they did it that way because this village has not yet been given a name.

　It has been some time since they settled in this land. Mr. Lan said that they will decide on a proper name for this place soon. When they decide on a name, they will change the sign.

　The general store has a lock on it. It was locked with a chain, and the key was apparently brought by Mr. Sadda. I heard that there are metal keys like this in the city. It is a wonder.

　I was told that if you put this small key in the lock and turn it, the door will open. I will try to turn the key next time I am allowed to do so.

　In the village where I was born and raised, in the village of the beastmen, and in this village - there is no such key. At best, I would leave my luggage in front of the door before going to bed, or something like that. This was the first time I saw a proper key.

　Everyone came to see the general store because the appearance of the store was ready.

　The reason why this general store was built so quickly was because it was decided that it would be better to build this kind of facility for the village as soon as possible.

　I was amazed at how quickly it was completed, day after day, little by little.

　Mr. Sadda said that he would like to put some things for sale here, not meats and medicinal herbs that would go bad in time, but dishes, spoons, handkerchiefs, and other daily usable items.

　He said that since there is no money made in this village at this time, they will be bartering for a while.

　He said that at first, everyone in the village is willing to donate free of charge. I am also planning to offer something if I make something.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At first, Mr. Sadda said, "Free of charge is not good, so I will collect the money by myself," but he is clumsy and cannot make things well even if he can do business, and there are dangers outside the forest and he has no permission to go there. So, we settled on this form.

　He said that the people who donated their goods would receive something afterwards. I would have liked to collect them even if I didn't get them, but I thought it would be better to do it properly.

　So I decided to make things with the griffons.

　Rion and Yuin, the brothers of the griffons, were having fun making baskets. I decided to join them and do it.

"Gururururuuuuuuuuu (I'll let everyone use it)."

　He dexterously weaved with his paws as he said these words.

　As we worked hard weaving together, my heart was somewhat excited. It is fun to make something with your own hands.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's fun. What else do you think we should make?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Clothes?

Gurururururu.

He said he'd hold off on the food stuff for now. He said he would think about it after he had collected some things first and opened the general store.

　We are asking the villagers what kind of things we should sell, but what kind of things would be good?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I still don't know what a store is, so I should ask Mr. Lan what kind of things I should sell after I ask him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I think the only people who actually know what a store is would be Mr. Ran, Ms. Sadda, and Mr. Sadnid.

　But when a store like this is established, which had never existed in this village before, it makes me realize that this village is changing.

　I am sure Nilsi and the others who are out exploring will be surprised when they return. I hope everyone is doing well. I feel lonely because I have never been so far away from everyone who went out to explore.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I wonder how Nilsi and the others are doing.

Gururururuuu (I'm fine)."

　When I asked them how they were, both of them must have sensed my concern, because they snuggled up to me saying so.

　When I was sandwiched between the warmth of the griffons' bodies, I suddenly felt sleepy, even though I had been making baskets.

'Sleepy......'

Gururururuu (Sleepy?)"

Gurururururuu (If you want to sleep, come with me)."

　I closed my eyes at the words of these two dogs.

　Then I slept soundly until Mr. Lan came looking for me.
