On the morning of the fourth day, after I was welcomed in Howling village, I used teleport to move to my mansion back in the royal capital after having my breakfast. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
The scenery changes from Howling village to my room in the capital’s mansion.
Just then, the head maid Elza - who was probably cleaning the room - was also inside wiping the window.
「I’m back」
「Hyaa!?」
When I called out to her right away after arriving, Elza let out a strange shriek as she jolted in surprise.
That was Elza’s scream just now, right?
When I tried looking around the room, there were no other maids inside. It’s just me and Elza.
In other words, that just now was unmistakably the scream coming from Elza who was in front of me.
It was hard to believe that such a scream would escape from the usually calm and collected Elza.
「Sorry, I was just trying to call out gently to not startle you」
「……please forgive me for showing you such an embarrassing side of me. I should have kept that in mind since today is the day when Kureto-sama is due to return」
While her cheeks turned red due to her embarrassment, she returned to her usual cool Elza in no time. I felt a little mischievous and wanted to tease her for her earlier action, but I sensed a strong aura telling me not to bring it up any further so I decided to stop myself. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
I often teleported back to my room to ensure this kind of thing from happening.
This time it just so happened that I ran into Elza who was cleaning the room.
It wasn’t a matter of who was at fault.
I move on to the main topic I’m here as if to shake off the indescribable atmosphere.
「Did anything unusual happen while I was away?」
「There was nothing in particular. There are also no messages from Emilio-sama」
「I see」
Normally, I would have work coming for me every three days or so, but perhaps it’s because he knows I’m starting my new life in Howling village that Emilio might be refraining from assigning work for me.
Well, now that I have found something I want to do, I’m really grateful for his consideration.
「What is your plan for today, Kureto-sama?」
「I have some business with Emilio today so I’m going to show myself at the company for a bit」
「Understood」
「Sorry for being busy」
「No, it is our duty to support Kureto-sama’s lifestyle」
After seeing Elza bowing respectfully, I immediately teleported to Emilio Company.
As the light enveloped me, I arrived at the company’s office. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Oh, Kureto. Welcome back」
Despite my sudden teleportation, Emilio didn’t show any sign of bewilderment as he greeted me.
「Emilio really won’t get surprised no matter how I appear, huh」
「Well I’m used to it already but I have also expected Kureto to show himself today」
That being said, even a surprise attack with teleport won’t surprise him that much, huh.
It seems like the difference in terms of experience between him and Elza was clearly more apparent.
「Have you enjoyed your new life at Howling village?」
「Yeah, thanks to you. I’m enjoying a relaxing time I can’t afford to spend in the royal capital」
「Hmーm, I don’t have the same mature sensibility as Kureto but I might want to experience that side of things once in a while」
「Saying it ‘mature sensibility’ is rude」
Since I’ve made a fresh start in this new life, I’m aware that I’m more mature than the typical young man but I’d like to think that I’m not as bad as what people say.....or at least I hope so.
「Oh well, rather than that Emilio. Actually, there’s something I want to sell in the royal capital」
「How unusual for Kureto to bring them on your own. What do you want to sell?」
Once it became business talk, Emilio’s expression tightened, and he took on the demeanor of a true merchant leader.
Where did his relaxed atmosphere from earlier go? His slightly wrinkled clothes also become close fitting right now. It’s like his business switch had been flipped.
「Can I put it on the table?」
「Yeah, I don’t mind」
After getting Emilio’s permission, I take out wooden boxes from my subspace and line them up.
Then, I removed the lid of the wooden boxes one after another.
「These are?」
「These are the crops and produce I obtained in Howling village」
「……could it be, the villagers asked you to help them sell these? You know that no matter how much Kureto begs, the company can’t sell anything if they don’t make a profit, right?」
Emilio clearly said as soon as he took a quick glance at the crops and produce inside the wooden boxes. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
If it’s Emilio, he would listen to what I have to say about the goods that I brought back.
But, if he doesn’t see any value or profit to be made from the goods, he will still reject it without hesitation despite our close relationship. That’s the kind of man Emilio is.
「This is not something they asked me to do. I brought it back because I already tried them and thought this would actually sell」
「Heeeh, then I will listen to you since Kureto has said that much」
You could also say that whether or not the crops from Howling village can sell depends on my presentation.
So I explained the crops I brought back to Emilio, who was listening with a bold smile on his face.
「I see, it’s true that even I don’t know about the crops here」
After explaining the ingredients lined up here, Emilio said that in admiration.
There are also things even Emilio - who knows a lot of information - doesn’t know. The crops from the Howling village are examples.
「It looks like even the people in Howling village thought these are normal」
「……no one thinks they are special? Then it shouldn’t get caught in my intelligence network」
And since it is located in the countryside far away from any big cities, there is probably no information about them available.
Emilio shrugged his shoulder as if to say he had given up.
「That’s why I want us to sell them. Procuring goods cheaply and selling them high. That’s our company’s motto, right?」
「Heeー, even Kureto has started saying that. I understand Howling village’s crops specialty but the problem is the taste, you know」
「I’m the most confident about that. First, try eating them as is」
Honestly, no matter how much you talk it up, in the end, it’s that taste that matters.
However, I was sure I would succeed if I were able to pull Emilio in on this.
I had the extra large spring onion, the tomato raised by Olga, eggplants, three-colored edamame, and the large watermelons entrusted to me by other villagers for him to try.
Anticipating something like this would happen, I had stored them inside my subspace in a portion that could be eaten immediately.
Of course, I also had Stella make processed ones as insurance. Even if it’s difficult to judge them while they are still raw and fresh, it will be easier to judge if they have been cooked and processed.
「Then, first let’s start with this big spring onion」
Emilio stabs a big piece of bite-sized spring onion with a toothpick and continues to put it in his mouth.
「What’s this? It’s so sweet it melts in my mouth !?」
Immediately after, Emilio's eyes opened wide as he shouted. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Right? If you simmer it for a long time until it’s completely tender it’ll become sweeter, and it’ll also taste great if you grill and eat it together with some salt, y’know?」
In order to make Emilio put them on sale, I have been taught the method to deliciously eat all those ingredients.
Under normal circumstances, it was already sweet it feels like it melts inside your mouth but it will become tastier once cooked.
It’s not just a spring onion, it’s a spring onion with highly amazing specs.
「I want to try that too! But, I’m going to check how it tastes raw for now. Next is the onion-shaped tomato」
Emilio took Olga’s tomato as if to calm down his excited mind.
The tomato was cut in size so you could savor the juicy flesh of the tomato.
It’s best to just eat them all as is.
Emilio opens his mouth wide and bites into the tomato.
Just being nearby allows you to hear the crisp sound of the tomato skin and feel the juiciness.
「This is different from the watery and sour tomatoes you could find out there. Such a rich umami! There is also a superb balance of sweetness and sourness! Just using this to make tomato soup alone is going to make the dish's flavor increase by several levels!」
He ate the tomato to calm himself, but then Emilio got excited yet again.
This should prove how different the tomato was from all the tomatoes Emilio knew of.
I was also amazed when I ate it the first time back in the Howling village.
After all, crops with a flavor will surely be sold as a branded product even in my previous life but now they are just left there lying around.
After eating the tomato, Emilio continue tasting the crops unique to Howling village such as the eggplant, three-colored edamame, and large watermelon.
Then after that was all done, I asked him again.
「How is it? We can sell these, right?」
「Yeah, they will definitely sell. We can sell them in the royal capital’s market or even sell them wholesale to high-class restaurants. Kureto, you brought back some good products」
Hearing Emilio’s words spoken with a satisfied expression on his face, I realized that the crops from Howling village had been acknowledged by Emilio. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
