Continuity is the Father of Magical Power

"Hey, did you hear that? I hear all the employees at Fermer's have quit."

"Oh, I heard. Anything, because the chairman is pushing the challenge, I think I quit because I can't stand it."

Two adventurers were talking in the square of the Imperial City.

This, Fermer's story was talked about all over the Empire.

"After all, was it tough to develop the Devil's Sword?

"Apparently. When that happens, is that the only place you can make it?"

"Right. Besides, the quality of all the magic equipment there is good. Lately, I've been trying to buy magic equipment over there, not Fermer."

"You too? However, it will sell out soon... I wonder if we could make the store a little bigger."

"I don't have a choice. It's better than quantity."

"Sure. Better than a loss of quality."

"It's just... if Fermer's head office isn't open, I'm afraid I won't be able to buy extra at that store because of the lack of magic equipment all over the capital."

"Right... or you can't buy magic equipment from now on, can you?

"You suck. We're not, but we can't live without some kind of magic appliance, can we?

SIDE: Elsie

"Excuse me! I'm already sold out today!

I was bowing my head to a customer waiting outside.

For some reason, the number of customers was several times the usual today.

"Ugh, you're lying, right? It's only morning!

"Sorry...... because I don't have any products"

Whatever they said, this is all I could say.

"Ok...... I'll have to come first thing in the morning"

Regular customers come home soon because they know that our store sells more quality than quantity.

"Can't you increase the number of products just a little bit longer? Without magic equipment, you'll be in trouble."

"Excuse me. I'm alone."

"Really... ok..."

The non-recurring customers also managed to apologize and return.

"Mr. Holland, I'm done explaining to the guests outside"

"Oh, thank God. How can there be so many people today?

"I just asked a customer that the Fermer Chamber of Commerce wasn't open today,"

"That's unusual. I can't believe you're resting there, even renovating the store?

"No, according to what I heard... the employees all escaped last night."

"An employee escaped!? That guy... what were you letting him do?

"I don't know that"

"I want to... Colt... what are you doing? I'm gonna go out a little bit."

Mr. Holland left the store after he thought about it a little bit.

SIDE: Colt Fermer

"Damn... you ran away..."

One squeaks looking at the store with no one.

It was the due date for the new invention I told you about yesterday.

But those guys didn't bring anything.

Besides, I didn't go to the workshop for a long time to get angry.

Momentum, open the door.

Battan!

"You guys! What happened to the new product...?

I tried to yell at you...

There was no one there.

"Where did those guys go?

I caught the guy in charge of customer service to ask you where he went.

"Wow, I don't know. I haven't been here lately."

When I heard that, I yelled at the guy in front of me, out of anger.

I forgot what I yelled at.

After that, I drank a lot.

And today, there was no one in the store.

"Why... how did this happen... I'm the awesome guy who made Fermer so big?

Little by little we grew from that little store and now we're the best millionaires in the empire...

"Yet... now how did this happen?

It should have been going well until a while ago......

"What's the reason? Is that your brother's shop? No, it's a small shop over there, so it shouldn't really affect my shop."

Yes, they say the Devil's Sword is amazing, but the size of that store won't sell that much.

That's why it's not a threat to our store.

"Sure, the sales fell... but it's not like there's a deficit... how come there's no more employees?

"Isn't that your fault?

"Ah, brother!?

I hadn't seen a brother in decades in the direction of his voice.

"Hey, it's been a while. You've gained so much weight while you haven't seen it."

"Oh, oh."

I look at my belly.

I was definitely fat.

It was a repeat of eating and drinking every day.

Compared to that, my brother still maintains muscles like dwarves (from)......

"You, the employee ran away?

"Ugh, yeah......"

I couldn't deny it in this no-one shop.

"Well... explain to me what's been going on."

"Ok......"

Then I told him about my brother's sword from becoming famous until yesterday.

"You... you're explaining yourself and you don't realize how stupid you are?

"Huh?"

Am I stupid?

That's not true!

I'm the richest man in the Empire!

"You're a fool now. Your men aren't golems, are they?

"Golem? Ah..."

Golem...... It's a fancy magic fixture that moves exactly as my husband ordered.

If you ask me... I thought it was a pawn that would move anything about my men as ordered...

"You... really, don't seem to... I wouldn't have done this to you back in the day"

"Oh, no..."

The old me...

"No, I would never. First of all, you're not involved in business these days."

"Huh? Oh, I'm... involved..."

"Nothing. I'll take care of everything. First of all, if you'd seen my demon sword, you wouldn't have wasted six months. Besides, you know how impossible it is to invent a new magic device in a month, right?

"Ugh..."

I can't say anything back.

Everything, my brother is right.

I left everything to my men, and I was playing.

My brother's cold eyes pierce me.

"You've changed. I used to be so serious... I wanted you to take over this store because I was in good business and I left the house."

Oh, did you?

I knew it, I thought you and my father had quarreled and left...

Did you... If you'd told me, I wouldn't have been able to own this store if I had a brother...

Right... for me...

"Brother... sorry..."

"I don't care if you apologize to me. Reflect. We're going to sober."

"Kee, sobriety... ok..."

"And come to us because I'm worried it's you now"

"My brother's shop?

"Oh, keep it even with customer service. If we keep going for a month, we can go back to the old you, right?

"Wow, okay..."

Customer service... how many years have I not been dealing with customers...

I'm not a merchant now.

Then it's natural for the store to crumble...?
