The Man Picked Up By the Gods

Ask the two remaining people.

"The two of you who stayed, are you okay with the slime? Everyone else has left."

Two people nodding quietly at my words.

"Now, may I ask your two names? And then if there is hope in the terms of employment, etc., be sure. Then I'd like to ask from your man."

Speak to the middle-aged man on the right first. Women, too, but these people are pretty concerned. First of all, these were the first two people I cared about when I came in because my outfit was so different from the people I see in the city, dressed like a Chinese in a kung fu movie. Plus the cane that a man has and the hair decoration of a woman...

As I observe the two, a man opens his mouth.

"I say Faye. This is my daughter, Leelyn, and I'm glad you hired us, sir."

That sounded like it! Plus it was another woman and a parent and a child...

"Were you two parents and children?"

"My daughter is like a mother, not like me, sir. And I have to tell you one thing."

That's what Mr. Faye has been showing me his right leg. Its right foot is secured with a scaffold.

"I, sir, am a merchant from a country called Zilmar. I've escaped because the country's in danger in the war, yo. But when I came to this country, they took most of my money. Just the rest of the baggage and my daughter.

I didn't have any money at first, and I worked in a mine to make a little money, sir. But the fall broke my right leg, yo. I don't have the money to ask a recovery wizard, so it takes time to treat me. You can even hire me on this leg, Arka?

A fracture... but you could have healed it with a few intermediate healing magic high heels or one advanced mega heel. Neither can I use it, but if I leave it to the heel slime, it will heal. Even if it doesn't heal, Mr. Faye won't have a problem if he specializes in reception until it heals.

"If you can work as a receptionist until you're cured, there's nothing particularly wrong with your feet."

"Real ca?

"Yes, reception is a fine job too. If the customer can handle it well, no problem. Do you have any hopes about your salary?

"No yo. If you get as much money as you can to live, enough, sir."

"Really, then your daughter...... was Mr. Leelyn? Is there any hope?

"I'm just like my father. The money you can live and the fact that you can hire me with my father. If I could, I'd be happy to introduce you to a lodging or a cheap lodging or a house, yo. My current place of residence is the Guild's temporary lodging, I have to leave when I find a job"

"I can't hire you on my feet. Many say. Now my daughter does guild chores and gets them to feed her critically. Actually, I don't have much money anymore, sir. I wouldn't complain if I could stay cheap."

If you live in, there's a spare employee quarters built with momentum, and that's nothing. And then he says his salary is cheap and good, and the wages he was planning would be enough. Even foreign origin is able to communicate.

Besides, these people, they seem to be hiding it, but they're pretty strong. You don't have as many gaps as the Jeffs, or you can fight better than the bandits you've fought before or the adventurers you've had before. If you hire them, I think I can take care of the store stick.

"Then we have a room for employees, so you can live there."

"Really!? What I'm gonna say, sir!

Everyone else has gone home, and I don't think my abilities are a problem. Just one...

"I want to ask you one last thing...... before you do that Alliance Master"

"What?

"I'm sorry, can't you get out of this room for once? There's a little bit about the store."

I said it in a mild tone, but seriously now I want you to leave.

These people, they're probably not the ones who had the mattomo job.

It's not uncommon in this world to kill people in self-defense, I've killed another 30 bandits, too. But in the case of these people, that's not the number. I've never felt like this before. You're telling me it stinks of death? This is the first time I have come to Japan.

... In case I'm alone, it's hard to fight while protecting the Alliance Master anyway.

I seem to have conveyed what I want you to leave seriously...

"Why are you kicking out Atashi? If you need anything, don't tell me."

On the contrary, he was seriously asked why.

"It's about the store's secrets."

Still communicate your willingness to leave, paying attention to the two of you.

Then there was movement towards Mr. Faye.

"Guildmaster, good enough yo. The owner's gonna find out about us, sir."

It feels like the tension in me was eating something wrong with that one word. What's this all about?

"Store owner, who are you, sir? We're ex-killers, but we don't want to be hostile to the owner. Nor to the Alliance Master, sir."

I certainly don't feel the will to fight...

"Guildmaster, did you know?

When I said that, the Alliance Master sighed and said:

"It's obvious. I don't know about the others, but Atashi always makes sure that whoever introduces him to work in the guild, especially if he comes from another country, is sure with this eye. You can't introduce me if you're in the middle of something. This parent and child have really fled the country. But you've noticed, haven't you?

"I was going to turn it into ordinary people well, sir..."

"All I've ever found out is Guildmaster and you. The owner of the store who noticed our secret, sir. Very concerned yo"

Mr. Leelyn, who looks depressed, is asked with a frightened, thin grin.

"I don't have the eyesight like an Alliance Master, but I've been learning martial arts for a long time, so I kind of know if they're strong or weak. And..."

"And?"

"I was wondering because you two were hiding weapons."

"Faye! Leelyn! Did you guys bring that in?

"Aiya...... that was also found out, sir"

"When it comes to dark devices, they used to knock me out of it. The scariest creature in the world is a human being, who uses his head, tricks people, alerts them and targets them. That the object that stuck it for murder was a dark vessel. And to protect yourself from the attacks, they say it's about learning and knowing..."

I'm talking about my real father, but now that I think about it, I miss him...

"I used to be targeted in my everyday life when I was in the wrong house..."

"What kind of life did you live in..."

"The same kind of people we are... not, sir. Different signs, yo."

"Close to us, but different, sir. It feels weird like I just learned the moves."

You can see that by the signs, these people are amazing...

"I did learn the moves from my master. I actually started using it three years ago, only a few times against bandits."

"Difference in the season, sir. We worked in the country to punish bandits and traitors who broke the law. We have a lot of fighting and insecurity in our country. If you don't kill people like us around, you can't keep them safe, sir. I'm not lying about the merchant I just said, yo, I was usually a proper merchant yo."

"We served. The Lord lost the battle, and there was no country, no job, no point. So I came to this country. I didn't have a job to be proud of. Will you hire me even if you know us like that?

"If it's someone the Alliance Master recognized, it's fine. No problem if you work for me normally."

If there's no harm in this place and you work properly, I'm not going to pursue anything from the past. Anyone alive would have a secret.

"Really? We couldn't hire you if we found out, sir."

"I was ready to run, yo."

"No, no, he said he'd be in trouble if he got away. We don't have enough hands right now. Everyone else is gone... and all that matters is now, work for us because the past is fine. And in the unlikely event of an extra job, can I ask for a caution stick?

If the Alliance Master knew what was going on but left it, there would be no problem. The Alliance Master has more eyesight than I do.

Sometimes, but you feel like you can tell I'm actually over 40... I want it to be your fault.

"I'll work hard yo"

"I've got the baton."

"Now we decide to officially hire you two. Best regards,"

And we bow our heads to each other. That's where the Alliance Master came in.

"Have we talked about this? Then go. I have a carriage on the table."

"Thank you, Alliance Master"

"Don't worry about this. Faye, Leelyn, work hard. This kid's shop is a promising one. And in the future, don't bring me a dark vessel or something!

"" Dark vessel, I can't calm down without it, yo ""

"Until what time do you feel like an assassin! You guys are merchants now!... these two, but not the bad ones, and I'm not guilty for once. Nice to meet you."

"Understood."

"Take this with you. These guys' resumes. My previous position is based on military service experience. Let me see the two of you from Serge."

"Ok...... so isn't this the first thing they give you...?

"Hihihihi, I don't want to see how much eyesight you have. I thought I'd see how good he'd choose without the information before. I'm surprised most of the guys left all of a sudden, but these two are a hit, because I can do my job. Besides, your eyesight isn't that bad. I doubt if you're a merchant. Good luck with that."

"Thank you"

I took Mr. Faye and Mr. Leelyn out of the guild and boarded the carriage prepared by the guild master back to the store.

When I returned to the store, I was greeted by a large number of guests, not around noon, and two people who seemed busy.

"" Welcome home, Store Manager!

"Awesome man sir..."

"This is the store owner, Ka? It's thriving, sir."

"I'm going for a minute. Mr. Callum, Mr. Carla, I'll help you. Respond to the customer first."

"Store owner, I work too yo. I can carry loads, sir."

"Me too, I can carry laundry"

"It helps! Don't push it, it's as good as you can."

You offered to help yourself, so don't hesitate to help. Mr. Faye was supposed to be a receptionist, but he seems to be able to move somewhat.

This was how I managed to get past the evening customer rush and get my closing hours safely.

Place a closing bill and close the door.

"Phew...... good job everyone!

"" "" Good luck "" "

"Master Lyoma, you're the rookie they hired in today, right?

"Yes, the man is Mr. Faye and the woman is Mr. Leelyn"

"I say Faye. Best regards,"

"It's Leelyn, thank you."

"My name is Callum Norrad"

"My name is Carla Norrad. Nice to meet you."

"The truth is, we were both supposed to start work tomorrow, but it started today."

"Let me live and work. Naturally, yo."

"When you're busy, it's natural to help, sir. Better to hear one than that, Ka?

"What is it? Mr. Faye."

"We carried laundry today. But what time did you do the laundry? Laundry received from customers, put across the wall, just received from slime"

"Speaking of which, you didn't explain the exact method of laundry."

With a cleaner slime and goblin waistcoat, they both convinced me to give familiar explanations. Furthermore, he saw how busy he was today and understood the term Guildmaster's Futuristic Store with his own eyes. I was very surprised to learn that today was the first day of opening.

What brings so many people here on the first day of opening... pussy shop even in previous life? Anyway, it seems very rare in this world to thrive from day one. As far as brief interviews were conducted by visiting customers, rumors seemed to have spread from adventurers.

From adventurers who took part in the Goblin crusade to adventurers of acquaintances, or families and the general public. Rumors were also spreading among the housewives because they said hello to the Pollines, and some said they had heard stories in various places.

"There were a lot of people in the morning who wanted to give it a try because it was cheap"

"You've heard more people say this afternoon from those who tried it. This will likely continue for at least a few more days."

Were you licking the effects of the word of mouth because it's a world with no cell phones or twinkling arrows? Or was it bad publicity for the allowance or gradually...... no, it's a plus for the store.

Well, it's a good thing it's over, but I've got one paragraph of work to do, and do you want to cure Mr. Faye's leg?

"Mr. Carla, Mr. Callum, can I ask you to do something later?

"" Yes, sir. ""

"Thank you, then you two can follow me"

I led Mr. Faye and Mr. Leelyn to the back lounge. Have them sit and wait and bring back 2 heel slimes.

I was surprised again when I told them that I could use the healing magic high heel, but they accepted my two treatments if they would be appreciated.

As a result, Mr. Faye's legs are fully healed by the hard work of the heel slime. Depending on the extent of the fracture, it appears that one was completely healed with three high heels each, for a total of six times.

"Helpful yo. Thank you so much, sir."

"It takes a lot of money to ask a recovery wizard, yo, are you sure it's free and good?

"It's my job as a store owner to make it easier for employees to work. It won't cost me any money if I or Slime can do it, and I can do it for free."

There are healing wizards in the city who use intermediate healing magic to treat them, but one at a time is quite a forehead due to skill and magic. Since the full healing of the fractures that have to be done more than once would be even more expensive, Mr. Faye has not been able to ask for treatment until now and apparently intends to take the time to heal them while doing chores in the guild.

"I could have magically cured you as soon as I could at least take some more money out of the country, sir. When I fled the country, I used it as a bribe to cross the border."

So you didn't have any money?

"Keeper of our country's borders, greed, sir. If you pay for it, you miss it as a matter of course, whether it's a crime or a flight abroad, but the guys who catch you without money and get a prize by sticking it out to the country yo. I couldn't spare you, sir. If I spared you so badly, if the prize money was higher, we wouldn't have been caught or had a hard time escaping."

"We work in the country because it was our job... prizes for people like that, and when they find out, they get higher than normal people yo. Conversely, there are some people who get ordinary people with that suspicion, so those who flee our country, they put almost all their wealth out there, sir. You can't spare your life, yo."

Mr. Faye and Mr. Leelyn talk quietly.

Zilmar sounds like a shitty country... he said there's a lot of fighting, and it's rough?

After a few conversations, two people, Faye and Leelyn, are assigned a room for employees to organize their luggage in their respective rooms.

Then I went back to the store and was surprised to hear from Carla about today's sales.

"Today's sales totaled 7918 suites of 791 medium copper coins and 8 small copper coins"

When I asked two professionals how much profit this was, they replied that the daily profits of a medium-sized chamber of commerce were about 4000 suits in a chamber of commerce that did not have aristocratic customers. Even after deducting expenses from today's sales, it is surprising that the amount was passed on the first day of opening the store.

"This profit is amazing!

"For this minute, you can make a comparable profit to one of the Grand Chamber stores that doesn't have noble customers right away!

"How much profit does that make a day?

"That's about 20000 suits. I can't say more than that at a glance. With aristocratic customers, income jumps. It's expensive, but if you can sell luxury goods, you can make a lot of money."

"There are also a large number of people who invest money in excessive luxury"

"I see. Well, it doesn't matter if you're a nobleman in our case, but if you earn about 2.5 times what you earn today, it's certainly possible that you could make a profit outside the Grand Chamber."

"This is today, so I was wondering if we could reach it within a month. We haven't had a minute from the Adventurer Alliance yet, so we'll have more customers, including that."

"Maybe the day will come when the day's sales will be medium gold coins"

"Ha ha, it won't be in boulders"

When I say medium gold coins, it's 50,000 suits. That won't be in the boulder.

"It's possible."

Oh, really?

"This city is a city of mines. There are a large number of miners and iron mill employees. We hear that there are fewer people than there were a few years ago when the big mines were abandoned, but we're still talking about 10,000 of them, right?

"Plus we don't necessarily have a single bag of luggage for customers to ask for at a time. I find it difficult to earn more than gold coins all the time, but I wonder if it's possible, for example, after a big request in the Adventurer's Guild."

"I see..."

Could there be about one time?

"And if Lyoma were to be branched out to another city, it wouldn't be hard to make a day's income into medium gold coins."

"Are we talking about a branch now? I'm quick."

"Maybe so, but it doesn't hurt to think about it"

"As long as we have people we can trust, we should also take into account increasing the number of branches"

Sure, because you made quite a bit of money just today on your first day. Let's keep it in the corner of my head. I think we should see how things go for the time being though.

"Oh, I forgot, these are the two resumes I hired today."

"I'll take a look."

The two of them start reading the resume I gave them.

"They both say it's good for the cheapest salary they can live on, but I've decided to ask for a caution stick, so pay 150 suits a day"

"Were you both experienced in military service, this is comforting"

"Yes, sir."

I then greeted the four of them and went back to the inn.

When I returned to the inn, I was surprised to report my first day of sales to Mr. Reinhardt and the others.
