My sister and I moved around the world until I unified the continent to protect my sister.

35 Preparation for opening and procurement of goods

The next day. I will inform Mr. Listella, who has come again, that I will ask him to ask for the manager, and I will ask him to get ready.

Mr. Listella's salary is AST 250,000 per month for the time being. The management in general is at the disposal of Mr. Listella, who will be asked to sell the products provided here.

Receive half of the sales as a purchase and our share, and run the store on the other half. Once management is on track, we plan to take everything from expenses and taxes to Listella's salary in the future. It's very good without the hassle. When they get more employees, they'll also lend them manpower if they need it.

By the way, for whatever reason, they've even decided on a candidate for the store, and they can start using it next month as long as they get my permission.

It seems to be a small store along the main street, with five metres between the entrances, so taxes amount to 1 million astr, contracts to 500,000 astr, and rent to 350,000 astr a month. That's a great step, it's like I decided to hire Mr. Listella from the beginning... I guess it was decided.

He asked me if I would go and see the property, but I decided to leave it all to you, and I would give him 2 million for the money and taxes I would pay to the guild, 1.2 million for the contract fee and rent for two months, and 1.3 million for other expenses for Mr. Listella's salary for two months, for a total of 5 million Astres. There will be no more suspicion of fraud.

Mr. Listella seems surprised by the goodness of my money payments and says' I will do my best to meet your expectations' with a smile that people like.... I'm going to fall in love when I get distracted.

"We'll be ready to open in a month, but how about a product?

I left Lena and Ceres to Lynne, but I think she's probably joined me... so I'll make plans with that in mind.

The next time Lynne comes back is at the end of this month, then on the 20th round trip and in the production period as we go to purchase......

"I think it will be about two months before I can really put the product in, so will you wait until then?

"I understand. I'll move on with that plan."

"Yeah, nice to meet you"

At the conclusion of the conversation, Mr. Listella returns motivated. I'm supposed to be a student for one drink this month, but I guess I'll be fine...

Less than two weeks after I decided to open the Chamber of Commerce. Now that it is finally the day for Lynne to arrive, set up a journey schedule and take Roba to the woods.

By the way, I walked around the city every day for this period looking for my buddy candidate elves, but I couldn't find one.

Elves are often used behind the ground for chores, and there is still an overwhelming majority of elves from the ranch. Hard to find without prior information.

I ended up just getting the rating from Rhina: 'A kind brother who takes his sister out for a walk every day and also accompanies her shopping' and I'm a little happy.

I also went to redeem the franc flowers I received the last time I saw Lynne, and I was able to get 33012,000 Astres. It's an overwhelming financial power that can create about six chambers of commerce.

But Fran's flowers are over at times, and I haven't been able to find any winter picks at all, so my income will be interrupted for over six months as it is. We still have to manage to get business on track.

For that reason, I ask Rhina to send me to the entrance to the forest as usual, and say goodbye by asking me to 'keep your face on the guild once a day because I will put in contact with the guild when I get back although due'.

As soon as he enters the woods, Lynne shows up from the shade, avoiding the eyes and talking a little further.

"How was the village? Did Mr. Lena or Mr. Ceres join us?

"Yes. Please accept to be residents of both villages. Now they're making clothes, bedding, houses, etc. in case there's more of them."

Good, I don't have to go crazy to plan on sourcing the product.

"Sorry, I haven't found my new buddy yet..."

"No, never mind. What are your plans for this one?

"Yeah. I'd like you to take us to the forest base, but before you do, do you want to procure something in the human city?

"Is it a tool of the people? Uh... I don't think so."

That's an elf, perfect independence.

"What about preserved food?

"You can pick them in the woods on the road."

"What kind of material?

"You can pick everything you need in the woods."

"Something sweet or something?

"I can pick it in the woods."

Forest versatile.

"Shall we head to the forest stronghold then? Nice to meet you."

"Yes, leave it to me"

That's how the three of us embarked on our second trip to Lynne's hometown...

Ten days after the trip, we continued walking in the cold woods with thin snow, and we reached Lynne's hometown.

The year has changed, and today is October 5th of the Continental Calendar year 419. It seems that October is like a festival period with five days when the year has changed. This world has a flat 30 days a month, so it seems to adjust the number of days here.

It was unrelated to us that we were traveling, but the elves are also going to have a festival this time of year to welcome the mountain gods, and they did it this year with Lena and Serres.

A festival just for the two of us, sounds lonely. I'm three residents even if I put Lynne in it now. Let's do our best to make sure we're getting more people next year.

The festival itself said God would return at noon on the fifth day, and the clean-up had already taken place on the evening we arrived.

"Ah, Yoichi Kaori, welcome home!

Lena, who found us, comes running over happy. The fact that you said 'Welcome Back' instead of 'Welcome Back' gave me some warmth in my heart.

I guess Lynne remembered that she said she was planning to base this place on it, and she told them both.

I want to be able to pull here quickly and live safely.

The villages guided had fewer abandoned houses than when they had come before, with some new houses instead.

In the centre of the village there is also a temple (here) that welcomes the mountain gods during the festivities. I guess Mr. Ceres has done it for me over the past month.

Little by little, the reconstruction of the village seems to be progressing and makes me happy. Good luck finding residents.

Lena said Ceres had made yarn spinning machines and looms, and they were also making clothes and bedding for residents who planned to increase.

I felt the smell of money and showed it to me, but the clothes that I made from fiber I took from the forest grass were somewhat dull white and didn't look like they were going to sell for very high prices.

Let my sister tell me it's softer and better quality than the cloth she sells in the human city and it's tense, but it feels like a complete utility. I'll ask Lena.

"Is this typical of elf clothing?

"Yes, it is durable, easy to move, durable, combined with heat retention and breathability, and is made of excellent material that dries quickly even when wet"

Lena with the Doya face. I see, it seems very good as a practical product. But how about selling it as a luxury item in the city? I don't think ordinary people who buy actual supplies have much money......

"... What's that?

Unexpectedly raises his voice when he sees that Mr. Ceres, who was cleaning up the temple (dust), took out the white cloth.

"That's the cloth that was laid in the temple (here) to welcome the mountain gods. I actually use a red and white cloth, but I didn't get the dye to dye red..."

Could that be about Fran's flowers? I'm sorry. I sold it all. It was good to be a lot of money......

Anyway, the cloth Mr. Ceres has is shiny and looks very upscale.

"Mr. Ceres, let me see that cloth for a second!

Shouting out loud, Mr. Ceres came over here and gave me the cloth. The cloth received is very light, in addition to a meticulous and smooth touch, shiny enough to reflect light.

When my sister looked at it, it felt close to the silk of the original world, and it seemed like an excellent rating for making a dress.

"How do you make this cloth?

"I'll make it out of yarn taken from a bug cocoon (mayu) called Salkworm in the woods... but, you know, this cloth just looks and feels good, it's not practical because it's not breathable, it's not absorbent, and it's weak in strength."

The way it's made seems to be close to silk, but is it different in nature? I don't know much about that neighborhood, but don't you want the dress to look like ten percent, other than practicality or something?

"I want you to give this cloth away, okay?

"It's something you'll burn after the festival, so be my guest."

"What, with a ritual or a code (aside)?

"No, simply because I have no use for it. It is not suitable for clothing, it is difficult to use in bags because it slips, it is not suitable for bedding or rugs because it has no strength, nor can it be made into strings (strings). Even if you think about the use of it, it's about a thin rip and a ribbon. So I only use it when I welcome God at the basic festival, and it makes new things every year, so I burn old things."

Ribbon... Speaking of which, the elves don't seem very fashionable.

Ms. Lena wears clothes she makes herself, but she's a decorative, practical piece of work, and the colors are plain. I don't even wear ornaments. Because she's cute ex, but she still looks so attractive that it's too much.

"Hey Kaori, can you use this cloth?

"Yeah! I think I can do a really good dress with this. My arms are ringing..."

Seems unusual and tense.

"Lena, can't you focus on making this cloth for a while to come?

"At this time of year, there is as much material left after feathering if you go to the woods, and it is possible because it is easier to take yarn than other fibers..."

"Then please!

"Ha..."

Forcefully ask Lena that she can't understand it, and ask Lynne to add a salkworm cocoon (mayu) to her collection in the woods. Apparently it's really as much, and in less than an hour, Koyama was completed in the room.

It's a big cocoon (mayu) with about one softball. Let's not imagine what a bug looks like...

Ask Lena to produce yarn and cloth, and also meet and talk with Serres.

In anticipation of increasing population in the future, please also create tools and save lumber and firewood (maki), mainly for the construction of houses and various types of equipment.

The elves don't cut down trees, they drop branches and use them, but there are countless giant trees around here that the house is likely to dig inside, and they extend vertically and horizontally through thick branches that I can't reach half way around even if I hug them, so there won't be a shortage of material for the time being.

Since the means of transport are limited even if the woodwork is made, I ask Mr Ceres to concentrate on making the objects to be used in the village.

Concurrent progress in securing financial resources and improving the base. Yeah, sounds good.

We were supposed to stay in the village for a while until the cloth that Lena would make accumulated.
