Kajiya de Hajimeru Isekai Slow Life

Once I see the outer walls of the town, I know we’re not that far away.

Even though I say it’s an “outer” wall, it is just the “outer wall when the town was first built”, now there are only fences around it. This time, that is the place I aim to do my first sale.Read at yumeneijiworks.wordpress.com

Although it is called a town, there is a marketplace outside the wall which merchants come regularly. Those who can do it, live and set-up their store inside. Since this new town happened to focus on stores, we can go in and out without worrying about tolls.

If you don’t live or have a shop inside, the cost is minimal. On the contrary, those who do not pay the tax cannot receive all of the lord’s asylum.

However, the security is bad and the same goes even for those who pay taxes. If there is a crime, the guards will enforce everyone. But they will persist to protect those who paid taxes. If there is a problem in interacting with people in the city, it is quite possible that the one who haven’t paid tax will be unilaterally banned.

As we approach the entrance of the new town, I saw a guard watching the highway near the entrance. Normally, anyone can get in but apparently, they are still watching for people who have a problem in this city or any other city.

“Can I get a moment?”

The guard calls out to us as we try to enter the city. He’s a young man. He wore leather armor but I can see the traces that it was already used. Although it looks dull, one still needs to be careful of the short spear he holds. Regardless of his age, he looks quite manly.

“Yes, what is it?”

I replied cheerfully as much as possible. At the edge of my sight I can see Samia holding her laughter. You… better not forget this!

“You look unfamiliar. I haven’t seen your face here recently, tell me your purpose of coming to this town.”

“I will sell my sickles, axe and knives in the flea market. Ah- and hoe too.”

“Aside from that?”Read at yumeneijiworks.wordpress.com

“That’s all for today. Do you want to check?”

“Ok, this will make it quick. You saved me time.”

I know it will be troublesome if I try to bring in banned items. Even in my previous world, at a time like this, I behave only in a cooperative manner. Well, maybe because of how I look, they didn’t find me suspicious even once or twice.

“Alright, you’re cleared.”

The guard, who was checking our luggage says so. He was a little keen when he looked at the knife me and Samia had but I didn’t say anything. Maybe he thought it was the same as the one for sale.

“I’ll say it again, don’t cause any problems.”

“Of course”

Now we can enter the public town. I’m a little excited.

My aim is to head to the flea market where many people visits or walk by. This flea market is a place where you can sell your things once you pay a fixed amount of money, and conversely, you cannot sell things other than here.

In this world, I want to live leisurely by making things so I would like to proactively follow the rules.Read at yumeneijiworks.wordpress.com

Shortly after entering the city, me and Samia arrived at the flea market. After I paid a silver coin at the entrance, I received the sales stand and a wooden plaque noting my sales permission, we then proceed to look for an empty space.

The best places are taken by the merchants who arrive earlier than us and the people in the local workshop, so I could only search for something that seems to be a bit better and get by.

After we take up a place, I lined up the knives and sickles for sale on the stand, while I leaned the hoe and axe at the side. Now, I am ready to sell.

“Well then, I’m counting on you today.”

I call out to Samia, my main bodyguard for today.

“Ok, I think I’ll only stand here and watch anyway.”

Samia shrugs and says so, well, we don’t know what may happen. About two hours passed without any incident. It’s good that there’s nothing bad happening but my items don’t sell too!Read at yumeneijiworks.wordpress.com

Even if I call out to the people passing by, no one stop to buy. These products are highly durable, so they would certainly not buy any replacement for it but…

Though I say that, I can’t make another item that can be sold easily. I might have to wait patiently until it sells, but if that happens, I’ll run out of money first…

Then gradually, as I grow impatient, my face became grim. This made Samia a little flustered, while waiting for the customers, I stood a distance away from the customer traffic. A familiar face appeared, he is the guard we met when we entered the city.

“Hey, is it going well?”

“No, not at all…”

“Eh? Is that so?”

“Yes”Translated by Yume Neiji

“Then, nice timing, can you sell me a knife?”

“Eh?”

“When I checked you guys, I thought those were such a sharp knives. I have one but I couldn’t sharpen or fix it anymore so I want to buy a new one. If it got sold out before my changed of shift, it will leave me dejected.”

“You have my thanks. I’ll greatly appreciate it.”

Saying that, I give him one of the knives lined up.

“Here you go. You can try pulling it out.”

“Oh, is that alright?”

The guard pulls out a knife in high spirit.

“As I thought, this is a good knife. How much is it?”

“5 silver coins”

I decided on this price after I consulted with Samia before coming here. The people here can afford it if it’s just this much.

“This price is so cheap, is it alright?”

“Of course”

Those are mass produced and not that important to me…

“Then I’ll buy this.”Translated by YumeNeiji

“Yeah, sure. Thank you.”

I received 5 silver coins from the guard. This is the money I made after making something by myself. I’m deeply moved by this.

“If it’s sharp enough, I will recommend it to my guard colleagues.”

“Is it okay? Thank you very much!”

I said to the guard with a happy smile. The guard lightly shook his hand and left.

As a result, today I only sold that one item. It will be good if I can continue like this. While were talking about this, Samia and me head home.
