The Man Picked up by the Gods

Next day

~ Side Dragon Horse ~

After yesterday's gathering, you can even start opening tomorrow! I came to the store early in the morning because Carla and Callum decided to open the store today, pushed by the momentum.

It's currently 5: 00 in the morning.

"Was it just a little too soon..."

I shouldn't have accidentally joined the office by previous life standards. Two will not come for the time being.

But I don't, so I play with slime and kill time.

"" Good morning, Store Manager ""

"Good morning, Mr. Callum, Mr. Carla. Thank you from today."

I made a brief confirmation after the two of them arrived and was ready to open the store. Even so, I put the cleaner slime in the waiting room, or I just got some change and a bag.

The bag also brought me what the two of us ordered this morning, and it's helping me just now.

"Well... well, I'll be there"

"" You're not going ""

I don't know if I can count on people from the first day, but I couldn't advertise through flyers or advertising, so I decided to advertise when I got a job at the guild. Mr. Serge really got me some people who can handle everything and... blah, blah, blah. Don't you need me? Well, that's why I hire people.

I'll stop by before I go to the guild, thinking about that. I have to tell Mr. Polyne that the store is open.

"Excuse me - is anyone there?

The store seems to be open, but no one was in the store, so when I spoke, Mr. Polyne came out from the back.

"Yes, yes, alas! Lyoma, isn't it? Are you still here today to buy seeds?

"No, laundry agent/Bamboo Forest has been the opening carrier since today, so I'm trying to tell you"

"Oh, my God, are we open yet? It's early."

"Yes, thanks to all of you. Before this, one bag I gave you is free, so please use it again. Tell that to Mary and Chiara, too. Because the two clerks can talk through it."

"You hired someone?

"With an introduction to an acquaintance. When you're working on an adventurer, you're going to leave it entirely to the two of you. And until management gets on track, you have to pay for the adventurer business."

If you can finally get me to work, I don't need a salary!! I even said that because I'm sorry about the boulder... I honestly don't know why I want to work there. I think maybe Mr. Serge's place would be better equipped to take advantage of his abilities than ours, and he pays more... what if there's a connection?

I have nothing to complain about because it helps.

"Given the size of the store, is it necessary? Good luck with that. I will support Atashi, and I will use it as soon as possible today."

"Thank you. Okay, I'm going to work."

Say hello and leave the store. And when I went to the guild, I was immediately called out.

"Lyoma, you said the launderer was about to open?

"Since when?

"I hope it opens soon."

From the Battle of the Abandoned Pit Warcraft, there has been a slight increase in chatting with adventurers I know on board carriages. Looks like they're waiting for the launderer to open up too.

"Laundry agent/Bamboo Forest, we're opening today."

"Really!?

"Yes, adventurers also have a full body cleaning service, including protective equipment and weapons, so use it"

"Say it! I'm definitely going home today!

In this way I communicated the opening and location of the store with an attitude and a loud voice for publicity, and then today I received a request to collect herbs. Let's clean it up as we look around the abandoned pit.

Hours later

Though I said I would leave the store to it, I was curious and tried to get around quickly and go back.

Then... people are gathering even though it's the first day of opening.

... there are over 20 people out there!?

When I rushed into the store, Mr. Carla greeted me.

"Welcome... Store Manager!

"Mr. Carla, what is this situation?

"It's a delightful scream!

"Store manager! The neighbor's wife came to ask me to do laundry!

Mr. Callum, who was carrying laundry from the back, also came out and said so. Anyway, we have to get this number!

"I'll be there to help, because I'll take care of both of you, and I'll take care of everything!

After I gave that instruction, I kept carrying (even) customer service and laundry.

Though we will continue to do so, people will come in the meantime as well. What's going on!?

It was after 3 o'clock in the day that people's waves ended up interrupting. I can't say that the number is still high, but I have to explain this store to each person, so it takes time.

Apparently the pricing for this store is really cheap, do you really undertake laundry at this price? Why don't you charge me a lot of money separately later? They ask...... it was hard for some people to be convinced. There were a lot of people gathering for a while, and the guards from the city on guard came to see what was going on.

But I was blessed with unexpected luck here. The captain of the guard, who had visited the store, asked for the guard's laundry, signed up for a course for 35 people and bought two bags.

Everything seems to have hired people for the laundry of the guard until last year, but they were unable to hire people because of the expense cuts ordered by their predecessors in the bureau. I zeroed a little stupidity into the bureau while I said it was just better that I didn't get paid less, and then for now I've said I'd ask for an extra one if I could just ask for it once. Would that be a quick big contract?

But... it's open since 8: 00 in the morning... so you spent an average of about 3 minutes per customer, right? I don't know what time the guests have been here, but Mr. Callum and Mr. Carla, you've been working the whole seven hours without even eating lunch and resting?

... Isn't this bad? I'd love to, but my two bodies... this store will go black corporate as it is! I want to avoid that at all costs!! To my last life!

"Good day, Mr. Callum, Mr. Carla"

"Good luck, Store Manager"

"You were amazing."

"Yeah, really... all of a sudden, should we get more people?

"Right. I was wondering if it would be better to increase it early. You will need about 4 to 6 people to take a break on a shift. Today the focus was on explaining to the customer, but as far as the reaction of today's customers is concerned, it seems that we will soon be running out of people even if we work only"

Mr. Carla will promptly answer the number of personnel required.

"Customers seem to be very happy with the speed and finish of laundry, so there will be more customers starting tomorrow. If you recruit in the Alliance, you'll be able to introduce people you can hire right away."

"Really...... if you hire people, how much do you get paid?

"Some 120-150 suits a day will suffice. With that, you can save even if you live normally. With the initial salary, this is a breaking condition, so people will get together soon."

"If it weren't as urgent as this one, it would have been possible to spend a little more time looking for people who could be hired at a lower wage, but it seems that hiring someone who can work right now is a prerequisite."

"Okay, I'm just going to the guild. Because it would be better if it were sooner."

"" Please ""

Believing in the opinions of the two people who come out without precipitation, I leave the store in a hurry. Problem solving is better as soon as possible.

But when I left the store, I ran into four neighboring families with big bags.

"Oh, Mr. Lyoma."

"Mr. Polyne, Leni, Rick, and Mr. Sieg are all here. What about that package?

"I thought I'd ask you to do laundry at your store. We're butchers, so we have a lot of bloodstained clothes."

It was Mr Sieg who answered me. He is Mr. Polyne's husband, and the workplace is the butcher next door to the florist. All the meat I used to cook the complete celebration was prepared in Mr. Sieg's shop.

I have an image of a big man with muscular bones when it comes to the butcher's master in cartoons and stuff, but this guy is the opposite. My back is quite long, but thin. Very thin. If the wind blows, he's going to fly, an unhealthy looking man.

"Lyoma, I heard from an adventurer that if I put it in your shop, it would clean the blood stains, too."

"I decided to try to get some clothes out that I was going to buy again."

"Thank you. I don't know, do you hire an employee?

"Ten, including me."

"If that's the case, there's a course that can be applied for at least 7 people, so use it. One bag of clothes for 14 people will be one medium copper coin and eight small copper coins, which will be cheaper"

"Is that true? That's what you get."

"Let's ask for it"

When we're having sales talks, Rick interrupts.

"What's Lyoma doing? Are you skipping work?

"Ha, you can't help but look like that. But not savory. We're going to a commercial guild."

"Really?

That's what Leni's been asking me.

"It's going to flourish more than I expected, and if we stay like this, we're going to run out of people."

"Shh!? First day of business, right?

"I've been doing a lot of publicity, but I didn't expect people to come this far. I'm going to hire people quickly."

"Surprised, so many people are here?

"Yeah, the two of you who worked for me in the morning didn't have seven hours off."

We break up with the four of us after we talk like that and visit the commercial guild. Then one of them was put through to the reception room, and the Alliance Master came.

"Nice to see you. But you're supposed to be opening today, right? Was there a problem?

"It's a bigger boom than I expected, thanks to which I've been running out of manpower since my first day"

"Big first day? I couldn't even predict that... replenishing manpower today. All right, I'll get you guys ready to work tomorrow. It's up to you."

Say no or the Alliance Master will leave the room and I will be waiting in the reception room.

And I was contacted that people had been gathered, and the meeting room was where I was guided.

There are already about 30 young and old men and women waiting to be torn apart by gender and race.

Hmm?

……

There is a strange pair...... they glanced at this one for a moment but quickly turned forward. You got a price on it, just like I did? There are a lot of other people who turn their gaze to me for a moment and take their gaze off like they've lost interest...

"Now, these people are all fixing basic arithmetic. You can use it in the store any time soon."

"Okay. Nice to meet you all, my name is Lyoma Takebayashi and I run a shop called Laundry Agency and Bamboo Forest. Thank you for coming together today."

Blinking occurs around the word. According to the blurry voice, I was thought to be full of it or something, not my employer.

Wasn't that worth it earlier? Well, because he's an 11-year-old...

Immediately after my greeting, I ignore the obviously tense people and ask questions.

"Well, first of all, if you're here, is there anything different about working in my shop?

The question raises a voice that differs from the potpout. Mostly the young ones.

When I say I'm understaffed, I don't need people who are unwilling or reluctant to work just because I'm an 11-year-old looking shopkeeper. At this point, it looks like we should finish the payroll story. I have trouble getting swarmed because it's a high salary. Numerous, and let's reduce them while we're about to reduce them.

I am not compelled by people who don't want to work in my shop because they are unhappy, so I ask them to leave the room.

One, two, three...... that?

I can't stop the flow of people leaving. Are you leaving this light? More like this, even if I feel a little... here during the interview, won't I just get the interview to the end? I said it's good to leave...

What a five-sixths of the whole thing has left. There were only five left. Well, I don't know about the grievances of the people who left... but let's thank those who stayed.

"The five of you who remain will speak as willing to work in my shop. Before that, I would like to thank the five of you who said that it is okay to work in a shop run by a young man like this."

I say that, I bow my head, and then I talk.

"Now let me get to the point. My store, Bamboo Forest, is currently looking for people who can serve customers and carry loads. Even when it comes to carrying loads, even women have no problems because the things they carry are clothes. However, as a precaution, I am an obedient magician and there is a slime in the store that is an obedient demon. I also use slime as a manpower."

The five remaining in that word surprise me. He'd normally heard about being an obedient magician, but he didn't think he was manning Slime.

"Therefore, if you fear or hate slime, working in our store will be a difficult thing to do. How about over there?

When I say that, one woman raises her hand.

"What is it?

"Do you use that slime because you don't have the manpower? Or do you use it even if you have manpower?

"I will use it even if I have manpower. Some of you may be reluctant to say this, but I want you to treat Slime as your colleague."

When I said that, she and two other men and women said slime but working with the Warcraft said no...... and left. Now only two middle-aged men and a young woman remained in the room.

Is this what an interview is all about? No, I'm not doing it my way?

I'm surprised at the boulders, even if it wasn't just people who originally wanted to work in my shop who simply gathered people who could work right away... it's easy to tell when yes and no are clear and easy to understand... how about the other two?
