It had been three hours since he met Mr. Zanuck. After being rocked and shaken, the carriage eventually arrived at the town of Rivlet.
　A soldier who looked like the town's gatekeeper greeted me and asked me some light questions, and allowed me to enter the town early. From the attitude of the soldiers, it seems that Mr. Zanuck is quite famous.
　The rattling of the carriages and the carriage goes through the town. The box-shaped bodies of the carriages swayed as they made their way over the ancient cobblestones. The carriage stops in front of a shop as it enters a busy main street lined with shops.

Now get out of the carriage. I'll get you some clothes here.

　I did as Mr. Zanuck told me and got out of the carriage. The shop had a sign with the thread and needle logo, but when I saw the words underneath it, I realized it was a little bad.

'Can't read...'

　I can't read the words on the sign. This is pretty bad, isn't it? You can talk, but you can't read the letters.... Well, I can talk, so I suppose I can get someone to teach me.... I'll have to learn.
　When we were taken into the restaurant by Mr. Zanuck, we were greeted by several staff members.

Welcome home, owner.

　I'm a little surprised at what the staff says.

"The owner?
This is my shop. Anyway, come on, change your clothes. Hey, someone find him some clothes that fit him!

　Mr. Zanuck hurriedly pushed me into the fitting room (a real small room, not a curtained off room). Then he brings me some clothes. To change, I take off my blazer jacket, remove my tie, and take off my shirt. Underneath, he was wearing a black t-shirt, and at the sight of it, Mr. Zanuck's eyes changed again.

''!　Ki, boy, could you sell me the clothes under there too!

Stripping.



　In the end, I had to sell my entire body to Mr. Zanuck. Everything from socks to shoes. When he asked me to sell my trunks as well, I was honestly disappointed. I don't know how I felt, but I want you to understand how I felt....
　The clothes and shoes they provided me with instead looked comfortable and sturdy, and I had no complaints about them, in my opinion. It's not flashy or chic, which is pretty good. It wouldn't be noticeable in these.

I'd like to know how much you'd be willing to pay for your clothes. Of course, I'll spare no expense, but do you have a price you're willing to pay?
That being said.... I don't know the market, so it's hard to say. The higher the price, the better, but...to tell you the truth, I'm broke.
Well, I'm sorry to hear that. Well, how about 10 gold coins?

　As I have no idea how much ten gold coins are worth, I can only nod my head.

''So, then,''
'I don't think so!　Now here.

　Ten gold coins are handed to me in a whisper. The size of the coin was about five hundred yen, and something like a lion was carved in relief. So this is all my wealth. I will use it carefully.

By the way, is there a place like an inn in this town? I would like to have a place to sleep before nightfall.
There's an inn on the right-hand side of the road in front of you. You'll see a sign that says 'Ginsuki'.

　I can't read the signs even if they are there.... Well, you'll know if you ask people and proceed. The language is understandable.

I understand. Well then, I'll be going now.
Yeah. If you ever get another rare piece of clothing, bring it to me.

　I said goodbye to Mr. Zanuck and went outside. The sun was still high. I took my phone out of my inside pocket and turned it on, it was just before two in the afternoon.

'I was thinking in the carriage... is this the right time...?'

　Well, I don't think it's that far off, given the position of the sun.
　Suddenly, I decided to launch the map app. Then the map of the town was displayed, and even the name of the current location and shops were displayed. If this is the case, there is no need to get lost. The inn 'Ginsuki' is also displayed properly. But still.....
　I look back at Mr. Zanuck's shop.

'This signboard...'Fashion King Zanuck'...was written on it...'

　Feeling a little disappointed with Mr. Zanuck's sense of naming, I started walking to the inn.
