The Man Picked up by the Gods

Anyway, we need to do something about Mr. Serge...

"Sorry, I have a bad habit of talking so I can screw up on my own from time to time... sorry if I offended you"

"No, no! Absolutely not! I was a little surprised. Master Lyoma must have been 11 years old, but one means after another came out that seemed to work."

That way!?... No, I was an 11-year-old now. Don't be surprised if your child thinks of a business management strategy, even if it's simple... If you're a baby, you're a rabid parent who just stood up, and no one wants the same thing from a baby as an adult. Is that the level at which you're getting a higher rating?

I thought about it - or I just interpreted modern propaganda and arranged it on my own...... simple calculations would fill the hole. I mean, no discount or anything?

"Um, no discount or anything?

"We have discounts, but we don't hear about constant discounts… it would be basic to do so in anticipation of the future to someone who wants to make themselves feel a little better, or to sell things that they want to sell quickly. Discount to darkness and all your losses will swell up.

To get other troublesome customers home soon. … if it's a bad store, there are merchants who offer an extrajudicial price first, then discount it, make it look like they sold it cheaply, and sell it for a higher price than the market. "

Sounds like you're serious...?

"When this happens, Mr. Lyoma is encouraged to register for a commercial guild."

"Commercial guild, is it?

"Yes, there are branches in this city as well, so you can register immediately. Commercial guilds vary from country to country, ranging from merchants, dewstores, and stalls because they divide all the commerce in that country. Business must always pass the guild."

Huh!? Then...

"So what I was trying to do was illegal?

"No, the guild is partitioning national commerce, but it's not really controlling everything. Between the peripheral villages, we buy and sell each other's village stuff on our own, and we are also allowed to sell herbs and other things we collect ourselves to pharmacists and others on our journey.

Likewise, children and adventurers receive some chores without going through the guild to earn a dime, and there is no problem in getting paid. It's not as expensive a reward, there's no illegal activity, and if there's an agreement between the two, it won't be a problem first.

But if you do your job as it was in Master Lyoma's story today, there's a chance that a lot of money could roll in that can't be called pocket money. You might get caught in the eye of your guild as a new gold pulse. "

"It was dangerous...... thank you, Mr. Serge"

"No, it seems I was still insulting Master Lyoma, too. I didn't think you'd come this far to think about management in depth. I thought I'd earn some free time in the adventurer business, so I skipped talking about registering."

No, it's just what you thought. I'm not thinking deeply at all...... let's just get on with it.

"Then you need to register for the guild if you're going to do laundry, you're already in the Adventurer and Tamer guilds, okay?

"Don't worry, I will recommend Lyoma when registering, so registration is possible without any problems. Hanging with other guilds is more welcome as it makes it easier to get more information. Why don't you go make a registration tomorrow, if you don't mind? I'll follow you."

"Tomorrow...... I still have a request as an adventurer, so it's going to be the same time frame as today"

"It's okay. Commercial guilds are always packed with several officials and all procedures can be performed at any time. For a merchant, information is life. We need to deliver the information before it drops in freshness."

Open 24 hours......?

"Well, if you don't mind, Mr. Serge,"

"Of course!

Whoa!?

"Master Lyoma's devised launderer, this is great stuff! No merchant has yet laid eyes on it and could make a huge profit, a business that throws a stone in the way this world does business! I, Serge Morgan, am a minor force, but I can help!

I started exaggerating! I can't believe it's going to be so important...... will I make a dime? It was about...

"Oh, thank you. It's comforting."

"It's a word without a body. When this happens, you have to think about the land that opens the shop."

Store!? I'm not willing to do that on such a massive scale!

"Hmm... to see that face, Master Lyoma wasn't going to spread his hands that wide, was he?

"Yes. I was hoping I could earn an accurate minimum cost of living. So you can go around the street corner like a dewstore, or you can go around each home yourself. You can't do adventurers' side jobs when you're in a store."

"I see. But when it comes to management, there is no problem. I'll lend you a few people from my shop."

No, that won't work.

"Even if I have a store, I leave everything to people..."

Saying so, Mr. Serge laughed bitterly and said:

"Hmm... I think you know a little bit what the Dukes are saying.... Dear Lyoma, there's nothing strange about leaving management to people, is there?

Huh?

"Sure, first-time shopkeepers usually cut up their own stores, but by the time I'm around, they'll have a lot of branches. Then I can't reach all the stores by myself and run them. I choose my trusted subordinates, raise them, and let them run their branches. Do you think that's strange?

When they say that, it's true... Japanese chain stores and other storekeepers are hired and not owners...

"Sure, that's not weird."

"That's right. Besides, there are people in the world who are not suitable for managers. It's better to hire the right people and let them run the business than the wrong people can."

"I know that, too."

"Dear Lyoma...... at the moment I have no judgment. I can say that where you already have the idea and the means to make it happen and the management policy is suitable as a manager, but I don't think you're very good at belly searching or anything like that. Because my heart is in my expression."

Are you out that clearly?!?

"Given Lyoma's age, I think he can hide it better than normal, but it doesn't work for a thousand merchants in Kaiyama."

"Really..."

I think I was pretty confident in poker face in my last life... was it my fault?

"Besides, I'm not saying I lend people with total goodwill either. When Reinhardt introduced us, we talked about one thing that Lyoma asked us to talk about, and the prospect of Lyoma's future."

"Futurity, is it?

"Yes, I pay attention to Lyoma, who at that age produced waterproof cloths, yarns, and that iron ingot and numerous products, even without the introduction of Mr. Reinhardt. In addition, today's story was something we can very much expect to make in the future. You can't be a merchant to ignore this. I can also just wholesale bags to Mr. Lyoma's shop, so I want to give it a bite to ride. If necessary, invest in start-up funds."

... if that's all you have to say, okay? But...

"What will you do if you invest the funds and fail?

"If you are a merchant with a store that is not possible or somewhat large if you are afraid of failure, you are already taking more or less risks.

Above all, it is my belief that Lyoma's shop has a large budget where it can make money. Furthermore, if you fail, then you just need to make a large amount of iron ingots, waterproof cloths and yarns to Master Lyoma using the amount of the loss as compensation. If we were to leave the laundry to slime, we would also be able to keep the cost of the operation under control, and I was wondering if we could make up enough of the loss.

There is a good chance that we will succeed and we will be able to recover our losses. I don't think you're setting a trap that's a delicious story, and you can't call a merchant a merchant who doesn't talk here. "

I see, surely if we make iron ingots we can make money............

"Okay. Please help us."

"Did you care about that?

"Yes. But I will still refrain from investing in money. Fortunately, money used to have a lot of prizes for crusading bandits."

"Then you need manpower?

"Please. Also, I will buy groceries for use in stores starting with bags here. Apart from this story, Ingot should bring it in if you can. I was originally tasked with the management of abandoned pits before I planned to make them."

"Thank you. Looks like we're going to have a good deal with each other."

Thus the conversation gathered, and then I bought the bag from Serge, who was in a good mood, and left the store.

When I walked back to the inn on a darkened road, the lady who blew out an aura of anger was waiting.

"Lady...?

"Mr. Lyoma, what have you been up to all this time? I was worried..."

The lady put away an aura of anger and cried out as she did. Apparently, Goblinking just came out yesterday and it worried me a lot.

I'm sorry.

I will take the young lady's crying reprimand in silence because I thought so. Then eventually the lady, who was crying and angry and tired, said she was going to bed already, and I dropped off the lady who the maids were taking me to.

"Sorry to bother you"

"Enough, it looks like the area's scolded me enough."

"It's true I was worried, though."

"Don't be careful next time."

"Yes, I remember the liver"

"So? Lyoma, where have you been all this time?

The carriage broke down and explained that I stopped by Mr. Serge's shop where I passed by.

"Were you at Serge's? Besides, I didn't know you were thinking about a new job."

"I think I'll be home a little late tomorrow, sorry I just got mad today..."

"You should have contacted me in advance, nothing. So there's something tomorrow?

"I'm going to register with Mr. Serge for a commercial guild. While we were talking, we talked a lot, and in order to do the laundry, we needed to register for the guild."

"What? Wasn't it a chore to be done with a reward to the extent of adding to the cost of living?

"That's what I thought at first, too, but I stuffed it up until I could set up a shop while I was talking to Serge."

"With the store? Is that all we're talking about?"

"Mr. Serge said," I think I see a flourishing future. "A few people like the store number can get you out of Mr. Serge's shop."

"Serge said that much, so what time is the opening?

I've asked Naturally for Open Day!? I thought you'd be surprised.

"There's still a lot going on about the store, so it's still to be decided... Aren't you all surprised? I don't care if an 11-year-old opens a shop like this."

"There's no age limit. Sometimes a kid like you opens up in an outdoor shop, and sometimes it's a regular store or a store number."

"I don't have an 11-year-old who opens a decent store in Boulder, but not you."

"Lyoma, you seem like a different kid. If Serge pushed me to my heartbeat, I'd be fine. But if anything happens to you, you rely on me? Don't forget to contact me regularly, okay?

Is that all right with you?

"Okay."

Then I went back to my room somewhat moistened and made a deal with the split slime I left yesterday.

This is what happens to the number of slimes right now.

Sticky Slime x 907

Poison Slime x 666

Acid Slime x 666

22 x Cleaner Slime

Scavenger Slime x 3033

2 x Heel Slime

1 x Metal Slime

1 x Slime

Over 900 sticky slimes, almost 1000.

Poison Slime and Acid Slime were aligned with Zorro Eye + the same number. But what is 666? Unfortunate...

Glad the cleaner slime has doubled. And because of yesterday's goblin fight? The slime was getting stronger. Physical attack resistance I was getting in big or fuseslime condition is good. But I didn't think Slime would learn how to barge and do body surgery.

I thought about it a lot and taught it, but I didn't think Slime would get these skills. Do you want to keep telling me...
