Temporary Stall Plan
The day after Camila came to visit. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
I teleported to Howling Village and visited the chief’s house Leroy.
「I heard you have something you wish to talk about with me?」
「Yes, I have 2 things I wish to talk about. First, Emili is asking if his company can set up a stall here during the Harvest Festival」
「Emilio Company, is it? That is fine with us but are they really going out of their way to participate in a rural festival like ours?」
Emilio Company is one of the representative companies from the royal capital.
They even come to the countryside to do business. Since it was normally something impossible to happen, it was no wonder that Leroy found it strange.
「Because they will use my magic」
「I see!」
Leroy nodded as if understanding the reason after I explained it to him.
It won’t take any time for the travel or money if they were to use my Space magic’s Teleport to move here.
The company won’t be in the red, and I’m sure it would leave a good impression ot the Howling Village’s villagers, who have been helping us.
「The villagers will also be delighted if Emilio Company, which handles all sorts of goods, were to come. I would really appreciate it if they could set up a stall here」
「Understood. Then, I will convey that to Emilio」
Yosh, if we can get permission to set up a stall, then my big task is done already.
Although the second one was also important to the company, I had to be careful when explaining it.
「Next is this. It’s about the Borsch mushroom of the Howling Village」
「Borsch mushroom!? Could it be, Kureto-san found it?」
Leroy jumped up from his chair and shouted. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「That is right」
「What! Then, do you have it with you right now!? If you have them, please, I would like to have some」
「Please calm down, Leroy-san. Your face is too close」
I tried to calm Leroy down as he leaned forward and raised his voice.
And I guess he also realized he was too excited as he came to his senses and sat back down.
「……please forgive me. Borsch mushroom is my favorite…」
「No no」
Even Stella had that kind of reaction to that mushroom. I had somehow expected that Leroy would also be like that, so I wasn’t too surprised.
「First, let me show you the mushroom」
I place the wooden box I have prepared before on the table and open the lid.
「Can I tough it?」
「Yeah, please」
After I nodded at him, Leroy nervously picked up a Borsch mushroom.
He examined it carefully, to the point of putting his nose closer and sniffing it.
「Ooh……this mellow and rich scent is undoubtedly Borsch mushroom!」
Leroy muttered with an ecstatic expression on his face.
He sniffed it with his nose, as though carefully savoring the smell.
I wanted to get the conversation going right away, but Leroy is too excited right no,w so I decided to wait for a while longer.
After a few minutes, Leroy has probably calmed down and returned the mushroom to the box.
「Where did you find these?」
「I found them deep in the forest where Ebira monkeys appear」
「Deep in the forest……no wonder he stubbornly refused to tell us where to collect them」
「By ‘he’, are you talking about the elder who used to collect Borsch mushrooms a long time ago?」
「Yes. That person was a former high-ranking adventurer」
I knew it, so it was like that.
It was indeed impossible without real skills if you wanted to enter deep into the forest where such monsters live.
I understand his decision not to tell the villagers the location, so the villagers won’t recklessly enter that place. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「And Emilio has shown great interest in these Borsch mushrooms and would like you to put the company in charge of selling them」
「Mu mu mu!」
After explaining the company’s request, a deep frown appeared on Leroy's brow.
He had a stern expression that clearly showed he couldn’t ignore this request.
It was an unusual expression for Leroy, who is normally mild-mannered and seldom shows his displeasure.
This shows that it is not just him, but the villagers are probably like Borsch mushrooms.
「Of course, it will not be all of them, just a small portion will be enough」
「I see」
When I told him that it’s not a random request out of desire but also a request where we also share it properly with consideration for the villagers, the frown disappeared from Leroy’s brow.
「Emilio seems to be thinking of cooperating with the villagers on cultivating the mushrooms and he would like to discuss this matter as well during the Harvest Festival...」
「I see. It is certainly something of very great interest to us as well. I would appreciate it if you could include that matter as well」
「Understood」
「Now then, um, about this Borsch mushroom.....」
Once the conversation had settled down, Leroy hesitantly spoke.
It goes without saying what he wants.
「I’ll give this to you」
「Really!? Thank you very much!」
Leroy happily hugged the wooden box containing the Borsch mushrooms.
Leroy has been taking care of me since the first day, and depending on Emilio’s actions, he might become even closer to the company.
I feel like I’ve ended up explaining a lot, unnoticed.
It would probably be better to have Emilio explain things in detail during the Harvest Festival, but considering the villagers’ feelings, it can’t be helped that things ended up ike this, since it will be bad if the villagers were to get a bad impression of the company if I do it half-heartedly.
●
Once the discussion with Leroy ended, someone suddenly tapped me on the shoulder. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Turning back while wondering what was wrong, there was Greeve with a displeased look on his face.
「You know, it’s a problem. When you don’t come to pick up your items properly」
「Ah! The boar fur mat!」
I realized the reason why Greeve called out to me as soon as I heard what he was saying.
Come to think of it, it was 2 weeks ago when I asked him to process the boar fur.
It completely slipped through my mind since Emilio had given me a lot of work, discovering the Borsch mushroom, and the work for the harvest festival.
「I’m sorry. I’ve been really busy recently」
「Oh well, as long as I get paid, it’s fine. Could you come with me to the workshop for now?」
「Ahー……can we go there with my magic?」
It would be fine to walk there if I have the time, but I need to tell Emilio about the discussion, so I would like to save time as much as possible.
「Yes?」
When I suggested that, Greeve looked confused.
Most of the villagers knew that I used magic to travel, but seeing his reaction, it seemed like Greeve didn’t know about it. It seemed that he often shut himself in his workshop, so he knew nothing about that. And it appeared that he also didn’t know about me until Andre introduced me.
It will be faster to experience it firsthand rather than explaining so I teleported to Greeve’s workshop with him.
Greeve fell to his butt when we arrived at his workshop.
「Wh, whaa!?」
「I can travel in an instant like this, you see」
「……what an irrational magic」
I also think so.
Greeve was surprised at the Space magic but I guess he had grasped the situation for the time being and stood up.
「The fur mat is over here. Please confirm it」
Following Greeve to his workroom, a fine fur was placed on the workbench. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Uwaa, a boar」
「Well, it was made of a boar fur after all」
Greeven calmly retorted when I cried out in surprise.
No, I mean, I know that, but I was surprised since it still retained so much of a boar look, more than I’d expected.
Although it’s just a fur, the sight of the fur stretched wide was quite impressive.
「I cut the head, but did you attach it back?」
「It looks bad without the head alone, so I sewed it back. I will not tear if you touch it gently, but please be careful when handling it.」
I had also given him the head as materials just in case, but it seemed that Greeve had processed it properly and sewn it on. But I’m grateful since the fur mat really became a wild animal fur mat.
「Can I touch it?」
「Please」
Touching the fur mat after receiving permission, the fur was very soft and very pleasant to the touch.
It was very stiff when it was dismantled, but I was surprised by the difference in texture now.
Turning it over, I could see that it has a greyish hue. And there was naturally no fur since it’s the inside of the leather.
There were traces of sewing on the area around the neck, but since it will be used as a mat, it shouldn’t be a problem.
「Are you satisfied with the result?」
「Yes, the result is better than I expected. I’ll pay you the remaining cost」
I take the fur mat and take out money from my pocket and give it to him. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「This is too much, you know?」
「As thanks for sewing the head」
Greeve pocketed it straightforwardly as if saying 「I’ll take what I can get」.
Even so, I got something good. Let’s ask Greeve to process it again if I hunted an animal.
●
After receiving the mat from Greeve, I teleported straight to Emilio’s office.
「I received Leroy-san’s permission to set up a stall for the Harvest festival」
「Thank you. I’ve been making preparations since I thought you would get the permission. Is there something they would be happy for us to bring when we get there?」
「Clothing items such as thread and cloths, particularly for women and some general goods, I guess? And, I think they will be happy if you bring some cooking utensils that can’t be made in the village」
Nina was showing particular interest when I took her to the royal capital previously, and I’ve also asked Stella about it
That should be the items the women of the Howling Village would like to buy.
「What about the men?」
「Hmーm......the men, huh」
The men of Howling Village are not that materialistic. I hadn’t seen men saying they want to have this or that.
If there is one thing they obsessed over.....
「Fishing rods, I guess?」
「Fishing rods?」
I told Emilio - a puzzled expression on his face after hearing my answer - about the events back when we were fishing at the mountain stream in summer.
「Ahahahaha, you gathered 50 people from just saying one thing, you say! That’s interesting! Okay. I will also add fishing rods to the list」
Emilio added fishing rods to the list while laughing. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Not all of them would be happy but there were enthusiastcis fisher over there. I’m sure at least part of the men will be happy about it.
After that, I mentioned safe options such as farming tools and sharp knives, which the villagers had been muttering about regularly.
「Un, we will have no problem preparing all this immediately, no problem. So what about the matter with Borsch mushrooms?」
「It looks like Leroy-san also loves the mushrooms as expected, and he showed reluctance in selling them all to the company. But, I guess it will be fine to sell a bit? He also showed interest in the cultivation of the mushrooms you mentioned and would love to discuss it with you」
「Oh? Even though you said you’re not going to negotiate, you sure managed to get a lot sorted out, didn’t you?」
Emilio poked me with a slightly mischievous smile on his face.
「I thought it would leave a bad impression if we did it half-heartedly」
「Un un, so I thought Kureto would manage to pull it off nicely somehow」
After saying that as if confessing, Emilio said while nodding in satisfaction.
Apparently, Emilio already knew that it would turn out like this when I brought it up.
It felt extremely frustrating, like being played right in the palm of this guy’s hand. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
