The Other World Con Artist's Management Techniques

the evening

An hour after the last bell rang, Jeanette and Milly returned to the Yodamari-tei.

"I'm back now,"

"Ah.........."

Within a few hours of meeting, Milly's shyness seems to have completely recovered, and she only looks at me through Jeanette.

"Thank you very much, sir," Are you here?"

"Astella just brought me the papers... ...and he took them home."

What's wrong with him?

"Documents?" ... Oh, yes. It was about time to renew my age."

After all, it feels like renewing my license.

I can't see any particular emotion.

"How old are you?"

"Sixteen,"

"...I think he said sixteen when I heard it before?"

"Yes. So you answered, 'I'm turning sixteen this year,'"

It's confusing...

Answer me how old you are.

If the concept of birthday is sparse, it seems that as soon as the new year arrives, everyone thinks, 'Don't turn XX this year.' If so, we can update them all together in the new year...

"Then you're as old as me, are you?"

"Yes, they are the same."

Actually, I'm about twenty years older than you.

"How old is Milly?"

"Ah………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………"

It's long!

It's so long!

On the way, I was like, "Didn't you want to hear that?" and my heart was pounding!

"Fourteen. You're older than Magda."

"Well, Milly looks like this, and she's an adult woman."

"Hahaha, that's not it,"

`Ah.........Hidy,'

Milly hangs her head.

Well, it's presumptuous of you to be shocked by that's Milly. Understand your appearance objectively.

Besides, if you're an adult, Regina or Imelda will be Obasan.

"Millie is a genius at picking flowers."

Jeanette is desperately trying to follow.

I guess it's meant to appeal to women as adults because they can work.

"Now that you mention it, where are the flowers?"

"It's in the cart outside,"

"Oh, may I have a look?"

"Ah.........huhhhuh."

nodding, Milly goes out.

I was surprised to go outside after that.

"This is another......."

It was laden with flowers overflowing with gigantic carts. It's in full bloom. It's so glamorous that it makes you think one of the shops is newly opened.

"A lot,"

"Yes, Mr. Millie, you're very fast at work. Most of the flowers here have been picked by Milly."

"I hope you'll show me your work this time,"

"Huh!?……………………………………………………………………"

Milly freezes with a troubled look.

It's as stiff as an oiled tin toy.

"Well.........it's embarrassing.........."

"You don't mind Jeanette?"

"Ah......Mr. Jinetto is.........friends.........so...."

"Well, I hope you'll get along better with me,"

He says so and pops what he takes out of his pocket into Milly's hand.

"Oh......………………………… Wow!"

For a moment, he was frightened and stiff, but at the sight of what was on his hand he broke his expression.

"... a ladybug,"

That's the hair tie I made in the daytime.

Millie's small hand grasps a large hair tie carefully.

"Wow, this is cute."

Over Millie's shoulder, Jeanette also looks at the hair tie.

His eyes sparkled and he looked deeply envious.

... "That's good, that's good." I want one, too," it appears on his face.

Is this the right gift for Genet?

I don't know what to do with the motif...

"Oh.........thank you!"

Milly says thank you to me with all her might.

I could clearly tell from my eyes that my feelings of fear and anxiety were fading.

"Shall I turn it on?"

"Ah......yes!"

Open your mouth half circle and smile childishly.

She has a different cuteness to Loretta's sisters.

I feel like I'm in a very delicate line just before I graduate from my child and become an older sister.

Childhood and the feeling of having to hang out with your sister alternate in my face to face.

the height of puberty Well... I'm old enough to be bullied.

So I tied a big hair tie to my forelock.

"Nah!? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "

I'm handing it over to you know.

I'm in a state of great confusion.

I'd like to take this home.

"Yasilo, I feel sorry for bullying you".

Jeanette puffs up her cheeks.I'm sorry. It was kind of funny.

I'll take off the hairpin and put it in place this time.

Place it on the right side of the head, slightly above the upper eye.

The ladybug sits tight on Milly's little head and shakes.

I'm afraid this is a pretty pretty piece of work. The good points are shown by putting them on Milly's head.

"Wow...."

I can't believe I can see it, but Milly desperately turns her gaze towards the hair.

"You look great, Mr. Milly," It's very cute."

"Ah...huh."

Praised by Jeanette, Milly blushes her cheeks and smiles happily.

The catfish swings gently as they nod.

"Oh... Thank you." Mr. Ottoman!'

Milly thanked me again. But......you're the ladybug.

"Mr. Ottoman...... a kind person."

No, that's why. The ladybugs...

"Do you want to go pick flowers with me next time?"

The effect of hair-dressing on the lady's head seemed to be enormous, and I was invited to pick flowers that I had just turned down because I was embarrassed.

That's how much we've shrunknown.

"Well, I think I'll take you there,"

"Ugh!"

If you overcome your shyness, you'll find yourself an honest, cheerful, and cute girl.

I'd love to get along with you.

And... I'd like you to offer flowers to Yodamari-tei cheaply in the future.

"Good job, Mr. Milly," Get along with me."

"Yes. ... Mr. Tentoumushi, we're good friends."

No, so... ...that's enough.

I don't mind if it's a ladybug. Call me whatever you like.

"Mr. Jinet, I'll give you this."

Saying so, Milly handed Jeanette a load of flowers from the cart.

"Oh, this is so good?"

"Thank you for your help."

in high spirits Obviously it seems over-service, but you just have to get what you can give it away.

"Well, I'll put it in the vase Mr. Jiro gave me right away.

"Hmm... oh, oh, oh. I don't think it's okay. I don't think so."

Is there... 'Mr. Jiro gave it to you?'

It was kind of tickling...

"I'll be back again.

"Yes, please come again."

"Goodbye,"

"Be careful,"

Milly pulls a huge cart with a small body. It's amazing how this works. The Beasts... They're the Insects... What's really going on with their arms?

"Good-bye!"

Even if I go far, I often look back and wave my hand.

Every time, Jeanette and I look back and say goodbye.

"Good-bye!"

...I was there when I was a kid, "Bye-bye" never ends.

Milly is a child, after all.

"You were cute".

"Is it always like that?"

"He?"

"You mean Milly?"

"Oh, yes. Milly is always like today, and she's very cute."

Jeanette is probably a favorite, too. Milly's expression is very relaxed when he talks about Milly.

"But what I said was a hair tie,"

"That's enough? It's a guy made out of a few minutes."

"Did you make it after we left?"

"Oh, I've got time and ingredients.

"But Mr. Yashiro must have been making a prototype of a new menu?"

...Ugh!

No, look. Well, what are you doing?

Sweet by yourself... It's kind of different, isn't it?

So this is part of my project... ...don't stare at me so hard.

Hey, Jeanette. What are you waiting for?

Do you want any answer?

You can't say much, can you?

......I can't help it.

"Because I asked you to take care of me..."

"I mean?"

...don't attack me, Conoyaro.

"... if you're a good friend of mine, I'd better get along with you too... well, I think it's all right."

"Yes, that's right. I would be glad if you could do so."

Jeanette grinned, perhaps satisfied with my answer.

with a content look

Then I'll open the dining room door for Jeanette, whose hands are blocked.

It looked like a lot when Milly had it, but Jeanette had it and it looked just right.

How small are you?

"Look, Mr. Yashiro."

Jeanette puts the flowers in the vase and brings them to me.

"It's very nice. That's just what I thought."say so and smile with great happiness

Wow......what's this? Shame on you!

Oh, I see.

That's it.

Is this the real purpose of a man who sends a bouquet to a woman?

You're giving me a bouquet of flowers while getting goosebumps at your behavior, just to see this expression.

What, I thought he was just a poor narcissist, but... the truth is, the guys were writhing inside. I see. That's the way it is.

Then I... I don't know, either. I don't mind if I give you a bouquet or something like that. I don't I?

"Thanks to you, Mr. Jiro said. Thank you very much."

Let's give it to them!

Let's give it to them, boys!

Rather, the time to give presents is just around the corner!?

Feel the times!

This is probably the time when we will actively send bouquets of flowers!

You ought to do some research if that's the case.

How often do men in this world present bouquets?

What kind of flowers do you like?

On the other hand, what kind of flower should be avoided, which makes you think, "Wow, there's no such flower!"

Because I don't know about flowers! I want to know! I'm worried!

So I'm going to make a casual search.

"Well, the flower guild is... relatively profitable?"

"Well...Recently, few people seem to get married, so they said it's rather hard."

"Marriage?"

"Yes, many men give me bouquets when they propose."

It's that heavy, a bunch of flowers.

"...don't you give them more casually?"

"Of course, there are people like that, but I don't think there's any chance. In the end, most people give gifts only at such a juncture as marriage or retirement."

I see...

Come to think of it, did you say you get Imelda all the time?

The reason... ...the custom of sending flowers, you know...

"Then Milly must be pretty tough,"

"I see," But he said he liked flowers, so he didn't mind it at all."

"It's not like your cooking."

"Well, maybe we're alike."

Is it worth more than money?

But you'll be happy if your sales go up.

The more popular you become, the better you can feel.

If we do well, can we aim for synergies?

"Genet, do you like flowers?"

"Yes, I love the flower Soleil."

"Soleil? I've never heard of this flower."

"Well, it's a rare flower to see in the 42nd leg.

Soleil...if this is a translation by Forced Translation Magic, the meaning is The Sun. Indeed, Jeanette seems to like the name. It's possible that they happen to have the same name.

"By the way, isn't it among them?"

Pointing to Jeanette's vase, Jeanette immediately shakes her head.

"Not here," Soleil is a conspicuous flower with a warmer color."

"Well..."

That's Soleil, isn't it?

Yeah. I got some good information.

When I asked if I liked flowers, I was able to know them casually.

Well, as far as Jeanette is concerned, women in this city would be happy to receive flowers.

However, it may be difficult to give a gift hurriedly because the bouquet bears a slightly heavy impression. If a strange misunderstanding occurs, it could cause trouble.

We need a reasonable excuse to suppress that misunderstanding.

That's a good excuse.

It works effectively for both the present and the present.

I have no other intentions.

This is just my feeling. I can communicate with you lightly.

But maybe he's... nervous. There must be a production like that.

Fire up, young people! And blow it up! Just blow it up, Lia Mitsuru!

... Huh!? No, no!　

I'm no longer in that position, but I'm in a position to recommend bouquets. If there's a party to send a bouquet of flowers, I'll run for president.

In other words, you just have to establish a habit of communicating with flowers without worrying about them.

It's all right to express gratitude. present a bouquet of flowers to a loved one

Yes, for example -- on my birthday.

Let's talk about a lot of things next time we see Milly.

And for now... I'll secretly tell you what kind of flower Soleil is.

The motif. I guess it's decided.

After that, as usual, the Yodamari-tei was closed for dinner, especially among the carpenters in Tolbeck.

Putting things away quickly and taking a bath is the end of the day.

"Oh, yes, Jeanette."

"Yes,"

Call Jeanette back to her room and tell her about tomorrow.

"I'm not going out tomorrow morning,"

"Where are you going?""Well... up to forty wards,"

"The sewage work is about to be completed, isn't it?"

"Oh, I see,"

"All right. Please leave the matter to me. But be careful along the way."

"Oh, I'm sorry,"

"No. Then I'll rest first."

"Oh, good night."

"Good night, Mr. Jiro."

I'm afraid you misunderstood me so well.

We cannot call it a cake inspection at this stage. Until the cake is ready.

"Oh, yes," I'll have it ready by tomorrow."

Loretta is home and Magda is already back in the room.

Jeanette will probably go to bed soon.

I slipped out of the dining room and came to the garden where I had parked my stalling.

I was going to make Estella's hair tie.

But it's definitely discouraging to have a good time in the cafeteria. decide to work outside

Huh?

Isn't it dark?

Aren't you scared?

......hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe.

I was afraid of the dark, but I'm no longer there.

In front of the Yodamari-tei, there are lots of shiny bricks!

It's so bright!

What do you think, ghost!

If you can come out, come out and tell me to come out!

Uh-uh-uh-huh-hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

at that time

"...Mr. Jiro,"

Suddenly a black figure appeared from behind me and crawled his fingers around my neck.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

"Be quiet,"

My screaming mouth is covered with a thin, soft fingers.

Oh... something sweet about it.

"It's me, Mr. Jiro."

I looked behind me and saw... Natalia in black maid clothes.

......it's you.

As soon as I lose strength, I sink into the spot.

"Yasilo!? ...Are you all right?"

"... oh... my heart hurts a little..."

"I can't believe the rumor... I can feel your feelings."

"You don't think so, sir,"

Who's the loser?

"I suppose you were a little surprised that you would sneak up from behind and try to strangle me.

"If you're a little bit surprised, you're going to have to wear off your neck."

Don't be noisy.

That's all right, just make it a little!

"But I didn't strangle him,"

"Then what was that, then?"

When I asked Natalia, with a touch of irritation, she looked at me with her usual calm expression and asked me this question.

"Didn't you make any appointments with your daughter to-day?"

"Huh? Ah. I'm going with you to the 40th leg tomorrow."

"Of course..."

"What?"

"From this afternoon she had turned into a sad little girl beyond her control."

The maid will tell you this... how much you've been so excited, Estella! Estella.

"Like a rumor, it's 'date' or 'date'."

"'Dating!'"

Ah... well, meeting up and eating cake is, in plain words, a date.

"And I thought it would be inconvenient for you in the evening, but I just came in just in case."

"Just in case? Is there anything you want to check?"

"Yes, but I have checked,"

Smile a smile and pull out a knife about 10 centimeters across from its pocket.

The blade reflects the moonlight.

"If your carotid artery is thick, this knife will do."

"What did you come to see?"

"Just in case." If you don't kill me with one blow, you'll run away?"

"What are you trying to kill me!"

"Nothing will happen unless you are driven by bad feelings."

"Nothing has happened!"

I'm just going to eat cake!

Oh, isn't this maid a little too protective?

"First of all, I'm glad I could talk to you." When I looked at you, I could see that it was your daughter's selfish runaway."

"Are you running wild... I'm afraid of you, tomorrow?"

"I was wondering what to do when I pulled out my full-length pants miniskirt from the closet..."

"...what's the matter with such a stupid miniskirt?"

"The Lord's hobby is actually..."

"Oh, that's great! I don't want to hear that information!"The future of the 42 wards may be bleak.

The lords, their families, and even their maids all have a little bit of a disappointment. . . . . . . . . . . . Are you all right?

"I hope you will take good care of your daughter to-morrow,"

"If you're so worried, why don't you come?"

"No. Your daughter was trying to leave me on a plain lie."

"It's obvious..."

I mean, you're not lying. If you antagonize Natalia, she'll be turned into a frog at once.

"So I'll take care of myself, and I'll keep following you secretly."

"Keep it together..."

I'm worried about the future of this ward."

After seeing Natalia off, I made Estella's hair tie, considering the noise.

I used all my talent and sense to make this hair tie as cute as possible, with a very subtle design that makes a small shiitake mushroom cuddling together with a big shiitake mushroom.

...you're doing it pretty well, me. You look a little cute, shiitake mushrooms.

That's how the night went... I've decided to go to bed for tomorrow, too.
