Merchant Arrives In Howling Village
Andre and I returned to the village after we walked to see the mountain stream, and in the afternoon I teleported to the royal capital as planned. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
When I teleported to Emilio’s office, he was organizing documents on his desk as usual.
「Morning, Emilio」
「Aah, morning. Kureto」
Emilio greeted me calmly when I greeted him.
He’s no longer surprised when I appear suddenly in his office. I mean, I’m sure I would be surprised if someone were to suddenly appear in my room.
As I was admiring him for that, Emilio put down the documents in his hands and gave me a cool, calm look.
「I have a request for you, would that be okay?」
「That depends on the content but sure I’ll listen to it for now」
「Kureto had also become cautious, eh. If I were to ask you before you would readily hear it no question asked....」
「That’s cause someone asked me to make an unreasonable request in a way that felt sneaky」
「Calling it ‘sneaky’ is kinda terrible, you know. I mean, that is also because Kureto agreed without considering it」
Emilio shrugged his shoulder as if it was upsetting for him. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「I reflected on that and this is the result」
I mean, it was a request coming from Emilio so it’s not uncommon for me to agree to him without considering things since I have confidence in him, only for the content of the request to gather the materials in dangerous areas.
Even if it’s this guy, I won’t make the stupid mistake of accepting without hearing the details anymore.
「Well, it is not such an unreasonable request this time」
Emilio wryly smiled as he said that.
It seems like he’s also aware that he was asking something unreasonable. That’s good. I had to re-examine my relationship with this guy.
「So what do you want me to do this time?」
「I want you to take me to Howling village. I want to meet the farming families since we are going to be important business partners from now on. And there are also a lot of things to talk about」
「I see. I guess you’re right」
In a world where there is a developed network in my previous world, it is normal to never meet your business partner. However, it is not like that here.
It is a world where you can say connections between people matter. There’s quite a distance between Howling village to the royal capital but I have teleport.
If you can directly meet your business partner freely, it would be better to do so.
I’m sure everyone in the Howling village would also like to know what kind of person they sold their produce to.
「Sorry. I should have suggested that」
I was the one who brought the produce from Howling village.
Maybe I should be the one who suggested that to ensure the business would go smoothly.
「No, don’t worry about it. The products from Howling village have become splendid goods and bring in profit. It’s only natural I would ask you that」
「Okay. Thank you. Then I will take you to Howling village」
「I’d like to take a wagon full of goods with me, but it would probably end up going to be business talk if I do that」
「That will definitely happen if you do so, I think it’s best to just bring small gifts」
If anything, Howling village is a place where people live a simple life.
If we brought the goods from Emilio’s company, I’m sure people there would gather and buy them.
If it became like that, then the whole day would just be spent on doing business. That’s also not bad actually, but the main goal of this time visit is to meet with the farming families. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「I’ll do that. Well then, I will go get ready so give me a little time」
「Sure」
◆
Bringing Emilio - who was ready -, I returned to Howling village.
「We’ve arrived in Howling village」
「Heeー, so this is the village where Kureto lives」
Emilio muttered in a somewhat deep emotion as he looked around the surroundings.
Maybe because it’s his first time visiting this village he seems a bit curious.
We were just standing here doing nothing so I decided to walk toward the village’s entrance.
「Oh, Kureto-san. You have a guest?」
A villager - who was not Andre - who got the guard duty called out to me.
「Yes, I brought along the merchant who sells the village’s produce in the royal capital」
「Pleased to meet you, my name is Emilio from Emilio’s company」
Emilio elegantly introduced himself with a perfect business smile when going outside on his face.
Emilio - who was dressed in tight, high-quality clothes stylishly - had an aura that would make it easy to believe even if you say he is a noble.
「Ah, to think that such an important person would go out of his way to visit this village. This is also due to Kureto-san’s magic, right?」
「Yes, that’s right」
「That’s nice. I wonder if I should also ask you to bring me to the royal capital once」
「If you take a round trip from here, the fees for the service would cost you a few gold coins at the minimum, you know?」
「Uwaa, so expensive! As expected that’s impossible for me, I’ll pass!」
We had such a cheerful conversation as Emilio and I entered the village. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「You seem like you’re getting along well with the people of Howling village」
He must have seen that from the conversations I had with the villagers. Emilio gave me a somewhat heartwarming smile.
I’d like to say a few things about his attitude there, but if it looked like that from a third person’s perspective then I’m happy about it.
「Yeah well. Everyone here are good people」
「Right. Even when I arrived here no one gave me an unpleasant look and I couldn’t feel any rejection from people who watched us from a distance」
Some villages and settlements have extreme dislike toward people coming from outside after all.
I know that since I’ve been using teleport to all sorts of places with Emilio. If anything, that sort of tendency is quite strong in villages.
However, there’s no such an unsociable atmosphere in Howling village at all. Rather, they always welcome people from outside.
That’s why, I had such strong memories of Andre and the other’s treatment of me when I first arrived here to do my request.
If it’s here, I think I’m fine here. I had such a feeling.
Perhaps Emilio - with his blonde hair and stylish, high-quality clothes - is a strange sight here since children who played outside are casting glances at us behind some places as if peeking at us.
When Emilio smiled and waved at them, the children nervously waved back.
Some of the girls are even blushing. Maybe a handsome man coming from the royal capital was too stimulating for countryside girls.
「Can I meet the farming families who made the produce?」
「Sure. I’ll guide you to Andre’s place first」
「I believe he was the farming family who grows the spring onion, and the people Kureto is often indebted to, right?」
「Aah, that’s right」
He probably remembered what I told him in the past. It seemed to ring a bell in Emilio’s mind.
I took Emilio to Andre's family’s house just like that. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
There, it seems like Andre’s whole family is working in the fields.
「Ah! Kureto.....and who?」
「Oh? Didn’t you have work to do in the royal capital from noon?」
As always Nina called out to me first but then she tilted her head in confusion and Andre stood up with a puzzled look on his face as soon as he saw us.
That’s true. I just said a little while ago that I was going to the royal capital this noon.
「There was some work to do in the village today」
「And this person is?」
「I am the merchant who will be selling the produce from Howling village in the royal capital」
When Stella turned her gaze to him and asked, Emilio stepped forward as if taking his opportunity to introduce himself.
「Pleased to meet you, my name is Emilio, the president of Emilio company. I have come with the intention of greeting everyone from the Howling village, who will be our business partners in the future」
「The peddler who came here said that Emilio Company is a famous company even in the royal capital, isn’t that true?」
「I am so happy that the name of my company has reached even distant places」
Emilio said with a bright smile on his face.
Howling village is quite far from the royal capital, but it looks like our company’s name has spread far and wide gradually.
As someone who wants to make his company bigger, this couldn’t have been happier. Nah, he might be aiming even higher.
「So that means, this oniichan will buy our produces, and then sell them?」
「Yes, that’s right」
「Ooh! To think you would come all the way from the royal capita――wait, if you have Kureto’s magic then it’s easy」
「Even so, for the president of the company himself to come here is truly appreciated 」
「That’s right! Either way, I am also curious about who is the person selling our produce!」
As expected, Andre also seemed to be curious about who was selling their produce specifically.
I was glad Emilio said he wanted to see them in person.
「I am Andre! This is my wife Stella and my daughter Nina! We are the ones supplying the spring onions!」
「Ooh, those big and sweet spring onions!」
「Those sizes and taste are actually normal for us though」
「I am interested in how you grow them to such a condition may I take a look at them?」
「Ou, I’ll show you! Come over here!」
Urged by Andre, who was smiling with a happy look on his face, Emilio went to the field with him.
To think they would have such a smooth conversation even though they have just met. As expected from a real merchant. He’s really good at steering conversation.
You could say that I’m not really good at conversing so I need to learn this kind of thing from him. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
