The Other World Con Artist's Management Techniques

With a smile on his face, a clerk at Yodamari-tei approaches me.

...that smile adds to my fear.

If he says a word, "The Spirit's Judgment," I'll be turned into a frog.

Then they are stripped of their human rights and forced to join the eerie crowd in those dim wetlands......no. Are you going to run away?

"Mr. Customer,"

"What!?"

I couldn't help but feel my voice hoarse.

I wonder if it's so uncomfortable to have someone else hold on to my life...

The clerk at Yodamari-tei walked right in front of me and held out his hand.

It's coming!

He's going to point his finger at it and say, "Judgment of the Spirit."

I'm going to declare the end of my life!

I closed my eyelids tightly and was stretching myself when suddenly something soft touched my hand.

As I opened my eyes narrowly and watched, a clerk at Yodamari-tei was holding my hand.

A flag of surprise!? Is that a guy who looks like a reverse nang guy?

"I've been looking for it since this morning,"

Smiling, the clerk at the Yodamari-tei makes me hold my wallet.

It was the wallet that I left in the Yangtari-tei as a trap.

...to give it back?

"Mr. Customer, I was worried because I forgot this and went somewhere. I waited until dawn, but there was no atmosphere to come back, so I came to look for it at sunrise."

I can't find words.

What is he talking about?

"I'm sorry I'm late," Weren't you in any trouble without this?"

I didn't know what to do, but I left everything on purpose.

There is nothing to be apologized for or worried about.

"But I'm glad I found it." Don't forget it anymore. What a careless fellow you are!"giggle merrily, then bow out.

Then the clerk at Yodamari-tei turned his back on me and started walking.

... Hey, come on! I forgot to charge you.

Aren't you too careless as you look?

What about him?

Aren't you aware that you've been eaten and run?

Have you been waiting all night for me who won't come back?

Have you been looking for me since dawn?

To deliver the lost article?

He was worried that I might be in trouble, so as soon as he found me, he looked so relieved... and forgot to accept the payment... are you stupid?

He is walking proudly, without hesitation, in the back of his back.

Stupid... there's a real idiot over there.

It's not a matter of business.

He's not even cut out for a peaceful life.

be sure to see someone's eyes

He was severely deceived, pushed to the point where he couldn't get it back, made a mess of his life with stupid things, and... gave up and died.

"There's nothing I can do about it," he said, "I'm sorry."

Looking at the small back walking along the main street, I suddenly remembered the stable master and the landlady.

He's a good-natured fellow, and yet he never doubted others no matter how many times I'd hurt him, and he's always so stubborn that he can't even live his life well."

Such a figure could be seen double on the little back that was moving away.

Then, as soon as the staff at the Yodamari-tei was out of sight, anger erupted from the bottom of his heart.

Don't be silly.

Do you think you did it to me?

I'm kidding!

I can live much smarter than you!"

Don't let anyone fool you, don't let your life get stuck and complain!

If you're on the side of exploitation, I'm on the side of exploitation!

You're definitely in a different position!

I'm clever, and you're stupid!

That's right! People who are fooled are stupid! It's not kindness to be taken advantage of and laughed at even if they're exploited! It's stupidity!Do you think Ama-chan, who doesn't even realize that, gave me alms?

I can't help but be unaware that I ate and ran away.

There's no way I'll forget to get my payment!

In a word, "Judgment of the Spirit," I was in such a superior position that I could end my life, but I gave it up.

Don't lick me!

I'm not such a weak person as you can sympathize with me!

He's not the sort of immature person who can't live without the help of a guy like you!

Don't pretend to be a victim to me!

"...Wait a minute, my dear!"

I started running, driven by anger that I didn't know where it came from.

What are you mad at, me?

Is it because I felt sympathy or because I felt she looked down on me?

Or is it because he looks like his stable masters?

Are you feeling restless thinking about the past?

Are you angry that you couldn't do anything after all?

What are you mad at, me?

Who are you mad at, me?

I don't know.

I don't know, but I can't do without this anger!

The clerk at Yodamari-tei walked into a narrow side street in the middle of the main street. There's a long way to go. You're going back to the store, aren't you?

Then I'll catch him on the way and slap him with the rice!

"I don't have any sympathy for Temae."

"You're not inflicting it on others, though you're so poor."

"He is neither great nor strong enough to shave himself and be kind to others!"

It's stupid and stupid like you. ... It's ten years early to help someone!

Don't be arrogant!

Screw your wallet into your blazer pocket and squeeze the 3,000Rb you got in the bar.

Silver coins clink.There are thirty coins, which means one hundred Rb of this silver coin.

Stir-fried crap vegetables cost 20Rb...well, that's fine. I'll give you some fishing!

I grabbed 100Rb of silver, and the clerk at Yodamari-tei tried to turn the side street... then.

"What!"

I couldn't help but stop.

There was a large bulletin board at the turn, with a picture of the 42 wards and something like a guild solicitation memo.

Among them was a very familiar face. It's me.

A leaflet with my portrait on it was posted right in the middle of the bulletin board.

a very bad man who sells stolen goods If you find one, let them know to the guild.

A reward of 100,000 Rb for the capture.　

whether alive or dead

Characteristics: frivolous tone

dead fish-like eyes

Height: around 170 centimeters

medium build

black hair and dark eyes

He is dressed in high-class clothes.'

Pinch!

I'm in big trouble!

Are you wanted!?

I was going to tear up the arrangement, but...

He gave up because he had carefully written a warning saying, "If you strip off a notice without permission, you will be cursed by the spirit god."

d*mn it! What's this!?

When did it start?

"Life or death"? Don't be silly! What kind of western movie is it?I didn't hear anything like this at the bar.

Should I think it's only been a while since the notice was posted? Is there any other place where this notice is posted?

Anyway, if we don't take immediate action...

What stands out the most...?

I don't sell hair dye... ...clothes. Right! Let's change our clothes!

Norbert, the Wishart's purveyor, seemed to have judged me to be an aristocrat, and... that might attract the attention of high-class clothes.

Then I have to get a set of clothes in those stores right away.

I went back to the main street and jumped into a nearby clothing store.

I took off my blazer, held it under my arm, and opened the buttons of my cutter shirt to make it look as shabby as possible...

"Come on in,"

There was a large-bellied sheep in the store. He seems to be the owner of this store. The calm atmosphere tells us that we are in charge.

Wool shop? No, I don't think so.

"I'd like a dress!"

"But there's nothing better than your clothes for us..."

"It doesn't have to be a good one! A shabby one is more convenient! But it doesn't smell good!"

When I made a fuss, the sheep shopkeeper frowned.

It's not good... If you say something so funny, you might be suspicious.

"Well, in fact, these clothes are being targeted by the horrible people."

Guilds and things like that are super scary. Okay, I didn't lie.

"And I dare to dress shabbily in order to conceal my identity."

"Oh, I see,"

Perhaps convinced by the explanation, the owner of the sheep shop nodded politely.

"It's not very safe in this neighborhood, is it said. It's true that if you walk around in such nice clothes, you'll be targeted by a lot of people. Yeah. I know what you mean, yes."He managed to convince me.

I wonder if my clothes are so luxurious that you can see them.

I'm glad I didn't get attacked.

I've been doing pretty dangerous things like wandering around in the middle of the night and going in and out of bars.

"If that's the case, I'd rather wear clothes around here." The inhabitants of the Forty-two wards are mostly dressed like this."

In a corner recommended by the sheep shopkeeper, there was a pile of cheap clothes that clearly seemed to be old clothes.

In this kind of world... the aristocracy made their own clothes, the upper classes wore their hand-me-downs, and the general public wore secondhand clothes that had been sold out.

I don't know how many people have worn their sleeves.

I'm not very good at old clothes, but... I can't be selfish.

I bought a pile of clothes that looked clean and well-sewinged.

I also bought a shoulder bag for the blazer I took off, a wallet for this world, and a hat to cover my eyes.

"And there's no ink.

"Is it ink...? I can share what I use in our shop..."

"Then give me that, too," If it's ready, it's a set with a used brush."

And when I checked out all the items...it was just 3,000Rb.

What a coincidence...

It was a very well developed development for the RPG tutorial.

I can only assume that God is making a practical joke. ...don't be silly, seriously?

I rent a fitting room in the store and change clothes.

The blazer packed his bag, put his empty purse in his pocket, and put his hat over his eyes.

From what we've talked about, that arrangement doesn't seem to be well known yet. ... all right.

As soon as I left the shop, I went to the bulletin board and added my beard to the portrait with a brush filled with ink. In addition, I'll add wrinkles and lines on my forehead.

OK. That's all right.

It says, 'Don't break it,' but it doesn't say, 'Don't scribble.'Now I won't be able to see it.

While shopping, I've heard that these arrangements can only be posted on this bulletin board.

They say it's a good idea to go around guilds, but there are too many guilds to distribute to everyone.

Hoya guild, blacksmith guild, food guild, pharmacist guild, etc.

There are guilds for each occupation, which are divided into 42 categories.

In this world without copiers, it would be impossible to distribute arrangements to all of them.

This arrangement is also handwritten.

And if you give it to a part of it, it seems that it causes trouble, asking, "Why don't we have it?" and "Do you favor only the guild?!?"

That's why these communications are posted either on the main street or on the main square of the city.

... Lucky!

This will mislead you for a while.

Sometimes it's good that civilization is low.

This would not have happened in Japan. It's spread on the Internet right away, and it's the end in an instant.

Long live the uncivilized land!

"However, if the civilization level is high, there will be no ""life or death"" arrangement."

That's why I was on the way and it was quite late.

When I left the clothing store, the sheep shopkeeper said, "There's a slum on the northern cliff. Stay away from me." ... not only to the wetlands, but also to the slums. It's too dangerous, isn't it, 42 wards?"

head off the main street down a narrow alley

The streets are getting crumpled and the houses that stand are getting shabby.

The hustle and bustle is going away and the streets are becoming sparse.

I feel like I'm leaving the village one by one.

The sun begins to set, and the burrowing roads add to the gloom and creepiness.

... well, I haven't had a decent meal today either. I just drank grapefruit juice.

Every time I walk, my stomach snarls.

Then, as the sky turned red, I reached the front of this restaurant again.

a sunny place

The old restaurant is marked by a knife and fork shaped signboard.There's another nice smell coming out of the shop.

"...I'm here, but...."

What should I do?

Anger had completely vanished in one of the arrangements.

I'll beat you up for the meal, but I don't have any money left because I bought clothes.

...what did I come here for?

"Well... Are you going home?"

Come to think of it carefully, it's wrong of you to get angry.

In the first place, I ate and ran away, and whether I knew it or not, the clerk here didn't say anything.

If we leave the Forty-two wards, the matter will be forgotten forever.

You don't have to go out of your way to steam it up."

Yeah. That's right.

Something went wrong with me.

Maybe I was feeling sentimental thinking of my stable masters.

You know, I've got free food.

It has always been said that nothing is more precious than free.

Good! Let's turn back!

I'll take it with thanks for your kindness.

I turn around and say thank you in front of the door.

I'll never see that clerk again.

Looking back on my feelings, what I saw was...

It was a dark, dark sky.

「…………」

The distant sky is tinged with deep blue.

The narrow road leading to the main street is dark and blurry, creating an atmosphere of an entrance to the underworld.

The darkness that would have engulfed us if we were off our guard... was just around the corner.

"...huh."

Well, I've been in this city for more than a whole day, so I'm not going to be a naive kitten forever.

I experienced the darkness of the night once yesterday.That's why...

"Welcome, welcome to Yodamari-tei! ... Oh, sir?"

"...he's here."

I think I'll give up the bullshit and indulge you with the kindness you.

Please! Let me stay!

Well, you're the only one in the world that I'm likely to dominate.

I'm sure you'll never be scratched in the neck, no matter how careless you are!

"I'm glad. You're here again, aren't you?"

a clerk who says such a thing with an innocent face and jumps up and down. 　

Every time I jump, I'm shaking. I dare not say what it is. Well, to put it bluntly... dreams and romances are shaking.

Oh, I don't know.

I was on the point of embarking on a dreamy journey, gazing at a dreamlike scene.

If you don't get it right... I hope you'll forgive me for being thrown out in the middle of the night.

I can't stay up all night in the dark anymore.

Anyway, it's a negotiation.

"First of all," I'll pay for the meal yesterday! But I don't have any money now."

confess the status quo once and for all

The clerk listened to me with a surprised expression on his face.

"And you sold those expensive clothes?"

Hmm?

Oh, I see. I'm wearing shabby clothes now.

I see. Do you look like you've sold out your clothes for want of money? Well, let's not correct it."And I was thinking about how I could pay for the rice..."

"Any time will do. I trust you."

No, I don't think I should trust a guy like you the most.

What are you talking about with confidence?

"Because the customer told me about himself." I think he is a man of integrity."

Wow... She's a little... She's not just a leek, she's got the duck pot ingredients and other vegetables on her back.

You've lived up to now, haven't you?

"I'm glad you believe me. But there is no prospect of money."

"I'll wait patiently."

"No, thank you for doing so, but I don't think it's right to make them wait forever."

"I don't care,"

"I care,"

What's that?

Do you hate money?

Why aren't you obsessed with money?

If you had money, you could do business in a better place than in such a shabby place."

You can get good ingredients, and the interior decorations are also very particular.

Ask for more money!

How kind of a human being, you can't even make a yen!?

"And how do you convince your guests?"

The clerk leaned his head slightly and asked me.

I don't have money, but I don't want to keep you waiting.

If you say so, it'll be a natural question.

And beyond that is another well-deserved answer.

"Will you let me work here?"

"What...?"

"Of course, I don't mind a small salary. You don't have to... It's not good, but... Well, it's good!I bow deeply and say loudly.

"Please provide us with a room and food! That's right!"

I have nowhere to go.

I can't afford to stay at an inn.

I can't even eat at all.

It's probably possible to make money in your own way.

But to do so, you have to be familiar with this city.

It's too risky to do business here without any information.

The slurping of Norbert's spices has in the end led to a quiet drag and restriction on my behavior.

Even in the case of the Spirit's Judgment, it just happened that I was lucky, and one wrong step might have been turned into a frog.

But if I had been caught by a guild in another ward...

I've been on the edge of the line, but... the end of my life was always just around the corner.

We need to know a little more about this city.

To do this, it's best to be around people who are easily deceived, amiable, and manageable.

In other words, it is best for me now to live here as a resident.

But there are concerns.

First of all, this clerk seems to be the only one here. Would you put a stranger in such a house?

And I'm eating and running away once. I wonder if he'll shake his head...

If not, I'd like you to provide me with a bed tonight, even under the eaves.

That's why it's an appeal of "Let me pay for my meal."

My aim is to compensate for the rice that I've broken down, and I don't want to get close to a beautiful girl with big breasts.

I hope you'll be tricked well...

"I'm glad!"

"...what?"

When I looked up, the clerk, with two clenched fists in hand, was writhing in agony.

His eyes sparkled and his cheeks flushed.

......what?

"I've been running this restaurant all by myself, but I've been wondering if there's anyone who can help me!""Yes, sir..."

The clerk grabbed my hand with both hands and approached me snuffily.

"This may be fate!"

"No, that's a little exaggerated..."

"No! It must be the guidance of the Spirit Alvi! Ah, I'm glad you've been serving me every day... You've seen us!"

Well... I don't think God is that free.

"Please do! We have some rooms available, so you can use them wherever you like. I've been cleaning a lot, so I should be able to use it right away."

While explaining this, I grab my bag and walk back.

"Let me know if you need anything." I can't get most of them because I don't have money, but if I can make it myself, I'll prepare it."

We're talking, and we're going deep.

Leave me alone.

"Oh? What's the matter?"

The clerk finds out that I'm not moving in front of the counter and runs back.

"Is that all right?"

"What?"

"You're going to hire me,"

`Yes!'

"... you live here alone, don't you?"

"Yes. ... I lived with my grandfather a few years ago."

Oops! I don't want to hear such a gloomy story.

In short, you're sure to live alone, aren't you?

"...are you okay? Putting a man up in such a nice house.""What? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . can't you?"

Is this for real?

Don't you really have a sense of crisis?

Are you a b*tc*!? Are you playing around so much regardless of how you look!?

Or are they like fairies or spirits? Are they too ignorant of impurities?

"Well... I love big breasts!"

"What!"

With a serious face.........what am I talking about?

No, it's not.

This guy is so vulnerable... that I think if you don't feel a little nervous, my reason... well, keeping a good distance is the most important thing to make our lives go smoothly. ... if you're too defenseless, you'll end up doing something cool... and you'll be in trouble later.

"Well, let me see... I am a man who serves God, and I am strictly forbidden to do so with people of the opposite s*x... therefore..."

"Oh, wait a minutely.

I was a little relieved to see the clerk in a great hurry.

There seems to be a sense of crisis here, too. It's just that it'sincere.

"I don't mean to do anything about you," Believe me there."

"Yes, I believe it."

That's why it's so fast to trust...

"But with that in mind, I'll ask you again."

I asked the clerk with a serious look on my face.

"Will you employ me?"

"Yes, welcome."

He's......

He's a real idiot.Well, I'm glad there's an idiot.

This will make it easier to solidify the ground in this world.

In the meantime, I've got to teach him a little bit about the harshness of the world.

"All right. I'll try not to betray your trust."

"Yes, thank you very much."

When I held out my hand, the clerk held it without hesitation. Wrap it up with both hands. ... Don't do that, you know, I'm nervous.

Anyway, we shook hands. Shaking hands is a sign of a contract.k.a. sign of a contract.

"I am Oba Jiro. It may be difficult to understand because of cultural differences, but Oba is my family name and Yashiro is my first name."

introduce oneself to one's employer

Since I've never been abroad, I'm reluctant to reverse my first name and family name. I'm Ova Yashiro, not Yashiro Yaba. Regardless of the one-time relationship, I wanted to officially name anyone who would be helpful to me for a while.

"All right. Now, I'll call you 'Mr. Jiro.'"

Call your name out of nowhere!?

I said that my family name was Oba to have her call me "Oba-san." ... Isn't she a popular girl in gokon? ... Oh, I wanted to go out with this kind of girl...

He didn't pretend to realize how sad I was, and the shopkeeper smiled at me, shaking my hands.

Oh! Brilliant! Is it kind of bustling?

"Oh, I'm sorry,"

Perhaps because I was staring at him, the shopkeeper stopped bustling and let go.

"Yasilo's hands are so big... I don't know."

Oh, this is a lively combo from the rumored "Wow, Jiro-kun's hand is big!"?Is he a popular girl at gokon?

It's natural. Is that so?

"Oh, well, I'm sorry." It looked like an old man's hand..."

"Whose hands are wrinkled?"

"No, no! That's not the case... anyway." I'm sorry for making you feel uncomfortable."

I can't believe it's offensive!

I just got a little excited when I said, "This girl's palm is so soft."

...really, I wanted to have a go-kon with this girl... specifically, a king's game...

"Do you know the king's game?"

"What? Is he a king?"

"Oh, no. Nothing."

That reaction... I guess it's not in this world...

"Oh, again,"

I cleared my throat and the shopkeeper bowed deeply after straightening his posture.

"My name is Jeanette. Please call me Jeanette."

"...yes. I'll call you Jeanette. No other information has been disclosed."

"Oh, I'm sorry," This is Jeanette Tinar. It may be difficult to understand because of the cultural differences, but Jeanette is the name..."

"Oh, no, no! I know."

Well, that's me, isn't it?

If you don't understand it, I'm going to go out of my way to annotate it....isn't he a fool after all?

As I frowned on my eyebrows, Jeanette still smiles like the sun.

I understood very well that they were welcomed. But I'm getting a little worried because I'm too vulnerable.

Is this that? Is it something you want to protect?

Fish...

Anyway, now we have our immediate base.

I'm going to look into this city, and I'm going to look for a seed for making money... If that's the case, I might as well take over this store. You know... Jeanette won't realize her stupidity unless she burns it so hard. It might not be bad to get this store for tuition.

When I turned my gaze, I met Jeanette.

At that moment Jeanette made a small guts pose and happily said:

"Let's continue to do our best with Piot's Kai Day!"

"Whoooh!"

"What? Oh, customer! What's wrong with you? Customer!"

Jeanette gently caresses my crouching back......

No, it may be quite dangerous to be with him......mainly not in my spirit.

What is he saying with a smile?

...well, it's 100% my fault......

Thus I became a live-in employee at the old restaurant "Yodamari-tei" in the 42 wards.

My job is mainly... to a stupid shopkeeper.
