Chapter 53 The smell of smooth business in the other world

After that, business went relatively smoothly

I had expected harassment from rival stores, but while the fabrics I stocked were nicely textured, they were all thin and unsuitable for the type customers that wanted more durable fabric This allowed ular fabric stores usually sold thicker fabric) As for what people used thear said, sales were not boos landed on an average, 1500 el on a good day and under 1000 el on a bad day (a moderately popular store for thatas the current level of popularity was maintained, I would be able to continue this business in peace

Considering it was a stall, the earnings were actually quite great

”Anyway, this le store… I could have multiple stores if I wanted toable to disperse the risk…In that scenario, should I have the sa different…? I have plenty of products…But I went through the trouble of opening a fabric store, I ain…It's fine to increase store nue it all…”

”What's wrong, Jirou? Muttering to yourself like that”

It seehts about my business plan out loud, as Rebecca-san heard me She had come to help out at the store

Well, since Rebecca-san knew the secret about the h to confide in Yes, I should talk about it with her

”–And that's how it is Personally, I don't want to do any business that draws unnecessary attention In terh it's my dream to become the best merchant in Erishe If I continued down that path, I'd have to hire tons of people and I'd probably become too busy… If possible, I'd like to work half days while stilla decent amount of income—that would be most ideal”

I admit it I'm a trash

But since I'm in another world and all, it'd be a waste to spend all day working!

Even if that weren't the case, as long as I was the only one capable of stocking products, I had to be extre with any business expansions Stocking aside, all of the storefront duties and net auctions were done by me too (It didn't seeured that out pretty quickly)

If only…no, ultiuess I would have to hire 1 or 2 people that I could take advantage of

Rebecca-san said she'd help out whenever she was free, but since the spawn rate of monsters had increased due to the rumoured ”Monster Wave”, I couldn't call her out of her house all the time

It was too bad, as Rebecca would have been perfect for the job

”I see So what are you going to do? If you want, I can introduce you to some nobles I know There are lots of rich nobles that you could profit off if you have interesting iteo all the way to the ih, so I can't introduce you until after the ”Monster Wave” is over”

”Wow, Rebecca-san knows nobles?!”

”Yes, sohly ranked, but they have a lot of old coins on rare taic beasts”

100 gold coins, or 100 times 150,000 yen That was 15,000,000 yen A whole house

”So ill you do?”

But even so

”Err… I'd like you to introduce me eventually, but for now, I'd like to sloork my way up in Erishe Could you introduce your noble to me later?”

I wasn't at a stage where I could go to the imperial capital and discuss business with nobles yet I didn't even kno far the imperial capital was from Erishe…

”I see… Then you'll have to hire someone after all There are lots of people ant to work in Erishe… But if you want to leave it all to souild office”

”Ah, coency work like that…”

”Yup There're many kids with vocations related to trade, and they bind spirit contracts too I don't think it's a bad idea”

”Kids? You ?”

”There are people like that… but they encies for kids who just received their blessing”

Apprentice agencies! Come to think of it, the apprentice systeinal world's history classes

”But kids who just received their blessing… wouldn't they be around 10 years old?”

”They receive their blessing at 10 years old, but the guild's agency is for 12-year-olds Also, children from moderately wealthy families ait until they leave school, so they can be a little older”

I see But…

”An apprentice is… like a disciple, right? That means I'd be their master …To be honest, I don't have any confidence in that… I' my oay around”

Rebecca sighed when I said the word 'apprentice' with trepidation

”Jirou, you are too serious They are pupils, you don't need to think about it too deeply You only need to think aboutthem work for you”

”But it's not like I can take care of someone else's kid”

”'Once you receive the blessing, the Great Spirit will give you guidance'”

Apparently, in this world, if you have received the blessing you are considered an adult and are pushed out to fulfil your calling by default Each guild mediates for them Of course, the Chauild) introduces kids whose calling is related to trade to their new e 12 and enter society Only a select feho are wealthy can go on to a higher education It's a world with callings, there isn't uess Your path is already decided by the great spirit It's a constraining world when you think about it

Well, if that was the case, I'll just show uild and find out what I could A 12-year-old probably wouldn't scrutinize the stock, I think

It goes without saying that Aurica's guidance (acquire another language) would be to learn japanese But, the language spoken here is heard as japanese to my ears while the japanese that I speak is automatically translated (like a Translation Konjac(1)) So, I was having trouble teaching the language and I ondering what I should do when —

”Kore wa ringo desu (This is an apple) Ringo (Apple) Oooh!” (2)

—I realized that I could actually speak japanese normally if I focussed all my attention on it

Once I lost my focus, all my words would autoe, but I could do it as long as I kept my mind on it

Well, now that I think of it, I had never tried to apply myself and speak japanese this way… Ultiual It was an unforeseen blind spot

And just like that, the biggest issue was resolved I gave Aurica several notebooks, old picture books from home, and some used books and comics I purchased Aurica was surprised not only at the books and comics but even at the notebooks and mechanical pencils However, I just told her that they were 'items from my homeland', and made her take them

Aurica was just a kid from the countryside She would say, 'Wow, I didn't know about these things' and be satisfied

The issue was, how a to be hard for a high school graduate NEET

I guess what I could do was to write all kinds of words and sentences in japanese, and the local language in the notebook, and have Aurica decipher it by herself…

Or, it would also be a good idea to speak with Aurica in japanese all the tiners at the train station were supposed to be about fun, or so they say (3)

It was uncertain whether vocational corrections for secretaries applied to learning new languages (nor and faster shorthand), but it'd be a huge advantage if it did Since their learning efficiency would be five times as much

Well, at any rate, it would be slow and steady at the start

'Kore wa pen desu' [This is a pen]

'Watashi+ no namae wa Jirou desu' [My name is Jirou]

'Ashi+ta wa aa furu deshou' [It will probably rain tomorrow]

'Watashi+ wa u horses]

'Onaka ga sukiry]

'Ofuro ni shi+ohan?' [Would you like to take a bath first? Or dinner?]

'Kyou wa mou nemashou' [Let's sleep now]

'Kyou atashi+ no ban desu' [It's my turn today]

Okay… let's leave it at that for today…

The items I put up for auction were successfully sold

Their bids didn't reach too high, but e

For example…
