The Other World Con Artist's Management Techniques

It's been a few days since the information paper came into circulation.

Since it contains information about the 42 wards, I hear that the latest issue sold a good number of copies even in the 42 wards.

A single piece of paper was the center of the conversation, with many excited and absorbed.

The influence of such an information paper -- frankly, it was subtle.

"There aren't as many customers as I thought."

a loretta peeping into the highway

As it said, Yodamari-tei was open as usual.

The number of customers... well, it's just a slight increase.

The peak of noon was over, and time was flowing through the store.

"... Jillo,"

As I gaze at the empty store in my usual seat, Magda approaches me with a heavy heart.

"...because of Magda?"

I guess you're referring to the illustrations in the information paper.

I'm afraid customers won't come because there are no clerks as illustrated.

But that's not true.

"That's not the case,"

put one's hand on an oddly depressed Magda's head

I rubbed my ears at the base and hummed a little, resisting, "...huh."

"The 'BU' guys are pretty sloppy."

When I think back, no one rushed to Natalia in her carriage, even during the stormy Natalia fever.

When I left, no one followed me.

They make a fuss when the hot topic gets into their territory. We are not the type to jump into the whirlpool of our own accord.

It also appeared at Marul's job interview.

The server candidates were making use of their information, "only." That's why they looked exactly the same as each other.

No one took a step out of it and pursued the idea of "interview."

But it's like a bunch of lazy people who think they've only traced the headlines that appear on the front page of the Internet news.

Too much information limits the resources available to each person. So they only trace the surface, and as it becomes a habit, they gradually neglect to pick up information and simply accept the information given to them.

Still, if you feel that you have a lot of information, you'll block your ears when it hurts, and you'll only listen to the information you want to hear.

The interview is troublesome. I wish they would let me work in a stable workplace.

Those thoughts were oozing from the whole body of the candidates at that time.

So there are a lot of people like that in BU.

"So, if Yodamari-tei leads the store to BU, there will be a long line, but there are not many people who come here from over there."

In the first place, the idea of paying a lot of money to go to other wards in a carriage to eat has not taken root in the people of this town.

Basically, there are a lot of poor people.

"But there are more newcomers in Cantaltica. Paula was bragging about it."

"Well, there will be a certain number of meaher and squalid drinkers in every ward."

In fact, there were some gebe bastards who seemed to have come to catch a glimpse of the explosive milk magda.

I went home disappointed, though.

"I don't think he'll go to the last 42 wards unless he's a very active man."

The only people who like to come to the 42nd leg are those who are honest with themselves and their tastes, such as Marl and Tracy.

Lucia, who is too active, often gets perverted.

"So don't worry too much,"

"... well,"

To be honest, Magda might have attracted a little more customers if it had been on the news paper as it was.

Like a repeat customer who frequently visits Paula today.

...Paula seems to have that kind of customer. Well, I don't care.

But even if you come to the store for magda, it's a little different.

Umaro is looking for magda, but he appreciates the food served at the Yodamari-tei restaurant.

I'm sure Jeanette would have mixed feelings if the restaurant was filled with people like Yodamari-tei for Magda.

Look, that's it.

Even in Japan, there were people who wanted to get a bonus and threw away a lot of main sweets.

You don't have to increase the number of new customers to be treated like that.

I hope the people who like the taste of Yangdaljeong and like the space of Yangdaljeong will come.

Genet would probably think so.

"So I don't care at all,"

"... but I have a rather thick blood vessel, brother,"

Oh, yes.

"If this wasn't enough to attract customers at Kantaltica, it would have been a ""no effect"" story, but that's a reasonable increase, isn't it, new customers!"

Why!?

Even if you don't have as much chest as the illustration, even Magda is cute!

How cute!

"What are the men who can judge only by the size of their breasts!"

"I'm surprised! How could you ever say such a thing out of your mouth?"

Yes, it's frustrating.

I'm annoyed that I'm losing something.

I didn't lose!

"Guys, why don't you take a break on a doughnut?"

Jeanette smiles out of the kitchen.

with a plate of colorful doughnuts

"You like chocolate doughnuts, don't you?"

"... well,"

"Mr. Loretta is peanut butter."

"Yes, I like it!"

"Yasilo, how about whipped cream?"

"No, I'll take the plane,"

"The plane is mine,"

"Well, hey,"

Didn't you have a choice?

"Well, half-way,"

Cut the plain and whipped cream doughnuts in half.

I don't half agree.

"Well, I'll take advantage of it."

"I'm riding on this wave!"

Then Magda and Loretta joined in, and the doughnuts were all quartered.

What a bite size!

"It's a great deal to enjoy a variety of flavors when we all eat together."

"I'm sure I can eat any taste at any time."

"One bite at a time is a luxury."

Magda corrects Jeanette's remark when she thinks it's not like Bertina's daughter.

with a doughnut in one's mouth

"...'It's all together,'" he said. "Luxury... Amam."

"That's right! Magdachy said good things! But I'm happy to be able to eat different kinds of food, so I'm happy to be able to eat different kinds of food together!""Loretta. Long."

"Ah!? ...it's hard."

Jeanette giggles as she watches such a conversation.

Then she combs Magda's hair with her fingers in a natural way.

I see.

This is the way of encouraging Jeanette.

There's nothing wrong with Magda.

You don't have to compete and jostle.

Well, if the manager says so, that's all right. for the sake of a sunny place

So the rest...

"Well, I'm going out for a second,"

"Yasilo, where are you going?"

"I've got something to do with the Twenty-ninth Ward,"

......yes, all you have to do is act to bring about a satisfactory end.

"I just want to see Gerracy's face... ...smile."

"Oh, you, Mr. Jiro? Your face is amazingly...!"

"Well, don't be gone!"

"Yasilo!? Yasilo!?"

Shaking off the sound of Jeanette's chase, he headed for New Road.

Basically, I don't like to lose.

Even if it's a little pushy, I can forgive it for my own sake ★

☆☆☆☆☆

"Dad, I'm going to close the shop.

I talk to my father, who is calculating today's earnings across the counter.

I was busy all day today.

There were no more drinkers coming in at dusk, just me and my father.

The store and the main street are quiet, and today's fatigue is pouring in.

I like this sense of fulfillment.

Wipe the table and think I have to prepare for tomorrow...

It came suddenly.

"Hey, the clerk!"

A rush of guests came in, raising their voices.

a new customer

My regular customers call me Paula-chan, but this person is definitely a clerk's ne-chan.

Since the publication of the information paper, the number of people who come to see it has increased, and I think it's one of them.

If you are a regular customer, I think you can give him some flexibility...

"Oh, I'm sorry. The last order has already been finished. So tomorrow...

`That's not the point!'

The customer was dressed like a drunkard, but his face was very serious and he had swallowed his spit many times, perhaps in a hurry.

The atmosphere is kind of extraordinary... What's this person?

"Come on, dear! Do you have any idea of a little cunning man with bad eyes?"

The first thing that struck me when I was told was Jiro.

Jiro is usually very bad-looking, and he's a little sloppy. Well, his eyes are a little gentle when he looks at us... and he's sloppy, I think, isn't that bad for Jiro?"It's a place that makes me feel like... ...heheh.

"Do you have one or not? Which one!"

"What? Oh, yes. Yes!"

But if people don't know him well, I think he'll be rated as a man with a bad eye and a little cunning.

So I answer that I know.

But what is that?

"Well... calm down and listen,"

I get even more nervous when people say, "Listen calmly."

As he waited breathlessly for the next word, the man began to say something outrageous.

"The man was captured by soldiers of the Twenty-ninth Ward,"

"What!"

"You're suspected of fraud... of resisting, but the soldiers are inflexible, aren't they? So... they're taken away."

Jiro... Fraud?

So I was caught by soldiers and taken away...

"But why? Twenty-nine wards, because not so long ago... what!?"

"Calm down! Calm down!"

I can't keep my composure.

Jiro is always doing a lot of dangerous things.

I was always worried that it would bounce back at me one day, even though it was very dangerous to beat my opponent by attacking the gray zone in the last minute.

This time, this time, this time, this day, this time, this time, this day, this time, this day, this

"Yasilo, what did you do!? Did you do something rude to the lord again!? Tell me!"

"Wait a minute! Anyway, calm down!"

Excitedly, I was grabbing at the customer's pocket.

It's frustrating, painful, and rushing to the customer.

"I am suspected of fraud, but it has not been determined to be so."

"Of course! Jiro doesn't deceive people! ... Well, sometimes I think he's a little sloppy... but!"

"So! You want to help me, right? I want to help you, right?

"Of course!"

It's wrong of you to get caught for a crime without any reason.

...there may be some reason for it may not be without reason.

But if it's what Jiro does, there must be a reason. Jiro is not the man to do evil. That's absolutely true!

"Oh, before that."

We're anxious to get information, but our customers -- I don't think they're really customers -- have a hard time getting ahead.I want to bite my nose.

"What is his name, just in case?"

"Name? Why?"

"Privacy is something, isn't it? If you were a different person, you would tell a secret you don't want to know."

"Privacy...?" Well, that's important, isn't it?"

"Why, it's a simple confirmation. If you tell me your name, you'll know if it's you or not, afterwards."

feel kind of fuzzy

I don't feel like this person is talking about himself at all.

Can I trust you?

"I don't have time," If the sentence is confirmed, it will be irrevocable."

"Punishment...?!?"

What is the punishment imposed by the lord?

A lord as gentle as Estella could expect extenuating circumstances, but... the lord of the Twenty-ninth Ward... might have a grudge against Jillo, right?

"If you don't trust me, I'll tell you my initials first." Isn't the initial of the guy you think of 'Y'?"

My heart shrank rapidly.

"Y" ... Jiro's "Y" ... is it Jiro's "Y" ... after all?

"It seems to be a hit,"

「…………」

I don't know what to do, but I look at my father's face.

Father nodded slowly, with a mysterious look on his face. I think you're telling me to.

"...Oba, Jillo,"

Immediately after I mentioned the name, the customer covered his face with his hands and let out a heavy sigh.

Then, after a brief murmur, "...I see," he began to speak in a hushed voice.

"I don't know much about this ward, and I don't know much about it with Jiro. But when I think of him who was caught by a soldier... I'll help him... I think so."

I knew... Jiro was caught...

What are you doing now, Jiro... all the time worrying about it...

"Will you help me?"

"Power?"

"There's a bail," In short, money solves the crime."

I'll pay for the crime...

I've heard of a man accused of bread-making being forgiven for making a large donation to the church.

Solve a crime with money...I don't quite understand what the aristocrats think… But...

"That bail... but what would happen to Jillo without it?"

"...I don't know,"

shake one's head with a bitter look

And let out a sigh again...

"I know that... there was a guy whose arm was cut off."

"Arms..."

"In bad times, beheaded..."

A shiver came from the back of my body.

Well... by misunderstanding... by arms... by decapitation...

"Well, how much do you need?"

"A reasonable sum will be necessary. ...about 10 million Rb."

"Oh, never!? I can't do that!"

"You don't have to bear anything alone. We can get some money from people who think Jiro is important."

Well, yes.

If Estella and Norma and Delia all work together... if it's not enough, we can ask Medra and Imelda's father.

"But I don't have time," Hurry up, or the sentence will be finalized. I'll never be in time after that!'

"But he said so suddenly,"

"It's all right, there's a way!"

As if to rush me further, the customer asks me to roll up.

"I'm going to pay my deposit for now. I'll put the money that's missing at a later date, and show you that I'm willing to pay it anyway."

"Will that save Jiro?"

"But release the suspect, not the bare money." It must be at least 100,000Rb."

"Ju…………"

100,000Rb is a lot of money.

But...

In the past, Jiro has changed the city, and with the influence of events such as food courts and festivals, we have made some savings.

I can't say I've gotten rich, but...

"That's about it... to help Jiro... I can do it." Is it your father?"

When I saw my father, he nodded silently.

Everyone is grateful to Jiro.

If I can repay you, this much...

"All right, then I'll give it to you when there's a soldier here."

"Yes, the soldier... is coming?"

"They don't know much about the Forty-second Ward, either. for he wouldn't talk stubbornly about his companions

Jiro... Don't bother us. Don't be quiet. You're stupid. I wish you'd put me to the trouble. I'd rather you put it on.

"So they're looking around for an acquaintance of Obajillo." I was looking ahead for an acquaintance of Jiro."

"To let me know?"

"Oh, anyone would panic if a soldier suddenly approaches them. Sometimes I misjudge what is really important."

This person... a good person, maybe.

"Soldiers try to intimidate us into listening. So don't be frightened. Say this, then. 'I'll pay you exactly. Take only your deposit home now.'If I hadn't heard this story, I wouldn't know what a deposit was.

If the soldier had suddenly told me to pay ten million Rb, I would have given up saying that I couldn't... I might have left Jiro alone."

"Thank you. You came to talk to me."

"Oh, my God. I just wanted to see him smile."

I can't do it.

I couldn't doubt such a nice person for a second...

"Let the soldiers have the money, anyway." That way, they won't be able to interfere. However, it is a disgrace to soldiers that they should be silenced by money. You know what I mean?"

Shame... Is that so?

Yeah, maybe that's the case somehow.

"So I'm not going to tell anyone about this," And no matter who comes in, they act as if nothing had happened."

"What? Estella... to my friends?"

"If you're talking about Campa, don't worry. Soldiers are going to go to Yatsu's house in the city anyway. Even if you don't move, the money will naturally gather."

"Well... I see. Right?"

"You don't make such a fuss, you pretend nothing happened until the matter is settled. for if you offend the soldier... beheaded... ...you can't say without it."

"...."

My throat rang with a squeak.

In order not to stimulate the soldiers, we can do it as if nothing had happened... I wonder if we can do it.

"Well, I'll go somewhere else," Oh, that's right. Do you have any idea of a man who will pay you?"

"Then Estella would be good." He's a lord."

"Oh...!? No, the lord of the manor is not good enough... but it gets too big." Is there a quieter and more likely to have money?"

Just plain money...?

"Regina doesn't seem to have any hobbies like spending money... she'll have minimal social expenses... Norma's going to have a lot of money saved up for her marriage..."

"That's Norma for Regina," Where can I see you?"

"Regina is on the east side of this street. Norma is a street in the west. But they both go to bed early at night, so they may already be asleep."

"Oh, I see," You've saved me a lot. Then do it right."

"Oh, yes! Thank you, sir!"

"That's all right.

With his back curled up, the guests veered away into the darkness of the night.

They must be hiding themselves out of sight of the soldiers. in an effort to save Jillo

"Oh, yeah! Dad, can you get some money?"

When I asked my father, he seemed to have already prepared a large bag of cloth on the counter.

100,000Rb......a hell of a load. There's not much chance of seeing such a large sum of money together, is there?

But this is also for Jiro...

"Is there anyone in the shop?"

After a while, as the customer said, two soldiers came to the store.

with a very scary look and a loud rant

The two soldiers wore slightly more luxurious armour than Estella's guards, and looked strange.

I'm sure he's a soldier in the twenty-ninth leg.

"Don't you remember a man named Obajillo?"

Here it is...

This soldier knows about Jiro, too.

That's the full name...

As expected, Jiro is caught, isn't he?

"If you have any idea, as a witness..."

"Well!"

There's no time for hesitation.

"This is a deposit..."

"... oh,"

"Now, please... Jillo..."

My voice trembles with fear.

The words don't come out well.

But the soldier seemed to understand it????

"If that's the case, I'll take it." I hope we'll see each other soon."

He said so and left the shop.

just as one passes the entrance

"Don't say anything else,"

I nailed him home.

My heart hurts.

I feel like I've done something outrageous.

Because I lost a lot of money?

Because the soldiers in the 29th district were scared?

...because Jiro is not here?

"... Jillo... ...come back soon..."

Cross your fingers and pray to the spirit.

Spirit, please... let me see Jiro soon.

If that comes true, what am I...

"Oh, Paula," Can you spare me some time now.

Have you received a prayer for the Spirit????

"...what?"

"No, the truth is," Jeanette said she had seen a strange man before."

Much earlier than I expected????

"... ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya?"

"Huh? Ah, it's me."I met Jiro.

"...yeah,"Yes, yes, yes!?

"What?! What's wrong with you?"

Why?

Why did you do that?

Oh, you're released already? It's too early!?

My heart makes a bad beating.

It hurts so much that I'm crushed.

No... Well, I, by any chance...

Never mind kicking the floor and bumping into a table beside me, I run out of the shop at full speed.

a main street dimly lit by shining bricks

The brick light added to the darkness of the sky.

There were no two soldiers in front, no right, no left... or that drunken customer.

I... ...are you fooled?

"...what shall I do?"

As I muttered, tears welled up and fell silently.

I have palpitations. I feel nauseous.

100,000Rb... It was a hell of a lot of money. It's the first time I've ever seen... if I were more calm... ...that's the money I saved with my dad... ...because of me...

I was so dizzy that I couldn't stand up.

"Oops!"

Jiro accepted me as my knees weakened and I was sucked to the ground.

Surprisingly, my strong and strong arms hold me tightly to my waist.

bend oneself to the bosom of a palmro

It's so calming... the smell of palm trees... and yet I can't stop feeling nauseous.

I tremble all over, and my head... and I... and I...

"Paula".

His face, soaked with tears, turns to Jiro's tears.

You must have looked terrible. For a moment, Jiro looked surprised.

And he says to me with a very serious expression.

`Show me the conversation record,'

Conversation records are a treasure trove of privacy.

To show it to your lover makes you hesitate. That's the secret I'd like to keep.

But... if it's Jillo...

"Yasilo......Help me..."

I can be spoiled.

I'm sorry, but...

The large hands of the palmro swaddle the top of the head.

But don't ever touch me... You're nice. You know exactly what is delicate about our race of beasts."

The body temperature of Jiro is slowly transmitted.

"...leave it to me,"

Oh... how many times will this be?

It's hard to get help from Jiro.

When the shop was about to collapse, when insects got in the way, it was difficult... ...more, more, more, more...

Jiro doesn't usually listen to people's wishes.

They're asking for a reward, they're looking bad, they're not willing to bother us... and they're helping us.

Everybody knows it.

It's a bit troublesome, but it's Jiro.

But when you're in real trouble -- "Leave it to me."

This is very rare and precious... and that makes me cry.

"Magda, Loretta,"

"...I know,"

"I'll call them all!"

Magda and Loretta came out of the shop as Jiro spoke to them.

Were you with me?

Magda and Loretta tied their lips tightly when they met.

"...the crime of making Paula cry is grave."

"I'm sure! I'll make it all right!"

At a great stride Magda and Loretta run down the main street of the night.

Magda to the east, Loretta to the west.

And Jiro is here...

"Paula is so popular."

That kind of joke makes me laugh.

...what, then. Now...

Ah! Those two...

I've made a fuss about the information paper saying, "It's a game." You're really nice.

"Yasilo... I beg your pardon... No, thank you."

"After you've finished,"

"...yes,"

Within minutes, Kantaltica was crowded with people.

despite the fact that it's

Everyone was angry.

Ah, this is the 42nd leg, isn't it?

Our city was created by Jiro and Estella desperately.

It's important that we should all protect...the forty‐two wards

"I'm sorry to have called you out of the blue." I have something to tell you."

Jiro said in a low voice, and the 42nd leg meeting began in the middle of the night.
