The third morning came when I came to another world.

I dive into my home and log into another world.

Go through a market that still has few people, to a store (house) that the mayor lent me yesterday.

"Hey, Shiloh, hey, hey."

I knew Aina was up early.

Good luck today. I didn't know you were here at 6: 00... don't do it.

Ten pieces of silver coins I paid Aina yesterday as part time bills, as a result of the discussion, meant 'salary' for this month.

Aina said, as a daily wage, my forehead is too big, and even the grownups in town don't earn ten pieces of silver a month in the first place, so I can't get it like this, and so on.

Tell me it's okay, Aina, it's okay.

So as a compromise proposal, I settled on getting them to work for a month on ten silver coins.

I was just a little nervous about owning a store by myself, but if Aina could help, I'm sure she'd be fine.

That's why we'll stick with it today.

"Morning, Aina. Don't do business today. I'm going to clean the store (here), can you help me?

"Yeah! Eina could have done that, too. Here."

I'm going to show you the bucket (wooden barrel) and rag that Aina had in her hand.

I see. Are you ready?

She's small but she's solid.

"Don't do it, Aina. Wow, that's comforting. So, you want to open it?

"Yeah!"

Use the key given to you by the mayor and enter the store.

The dusty air irritated my nose.

"Yeah. Nice interior."

In the store, there was a counter in the back and a shelf on the left and right walls.

As long as I had cleaned it and lined up the products, I was likely to be able to open it soon.

"Open the window first...... all the time. All right, let's clean up."

"Ooh!

When I stick my hand up, Aina poses the same way.

And we started cleaning.

Collect dust with a hoe and wipe the floor and shelf with a rag squeezed with water.

I just finished cleaning the ground floor, and I'm going upstairs next.

There are four rooms upstairs, which Aina and I clean up.

We didn't have any furniture at all, so let's get it together when we have time.

And by noon, the shop and the upstairs room were shiny.

"Phew...... Is this what this is all about?

"The store, it's clean."

Aina giggles.

At that time,

"Excuse me."

The mayor, Karen, came.

"Well... you look different"

Cool beauty mayor looks around the store and says.

"Hello, Mr. Mayor."

"You can have Karen about me"

"Then you can talk about me, too."

"Eina is fine. Eina is fine."

"Right. Okay, Shiloh, Eina, thank you again."

Mr. Karen has asked for a handshake.

Me and Aina hold hands in turn.

"So, Mr. Karen, what can I do for you today?

"Oh. I brought you guys a plug today."

Having said that, Mr. Cullen took the sandwich-like dish out of the basket he had lowered in his hand.

"I hope it fits your mouth. Eat if you like."

"Thank you. You were just hungry, weren't you? Let's eat, Aina."

"Yeah!"

Me and Aina get a sandwich from Mr. Cullen and carry it to your mouth.

"Just listen to me while you eat. I've been doing you a favor today."

"Please?"

"That's right. Actually, there's going to be an adventurer guild inspection coming from the center in ten days. Then Shiloh, I want you to show the inspectors the matches you're selling."

"I don't mind that...... does it make any sense to show a match?

"Yes."

Mr. Karen responds instantly.

"There would be a forest near this town, wouldn't there? You'll find a rare monster there. Many adventurers are visiting town for that monster. You know this, don't you?

"Yeah, maybe we should talk."

Market customers are also more than half adventurers.

It is clear that the existence of an adventurer is having a significant impact on the economy of the town.

"Ninolich is on the periphery, so no branch of the Adventurer Guild has been placed so far... thanks to the monsters. There is a move to place a branch of the Adventurer Guild here in the center. As far as I'm concerned, I'd like you to put your branch in this Ninorich for the development of the town."

According to Karen's story, when a branch of the Adventurer Guild is in town, this town-based adventurer will settle in and there is also a good chance that the merchant will come for that adventurer and material purpose.

If people get together, they inevitably get the money too.

As for the mayor's position, he really wants to attract a branch of the Adventurer Guild to town.

"I see. I understand the story. I mean, as a town in Ninolich, you want people who come on that inspection to think of it as' a town worth more than a monster to adventurers'? to increase the likelihood of having a branch set aside at all"

"It's quick to understand and helpful. That's a handsome merchant."

"Haha, I haven't done anything yet. Yeah, but I get it. I'll have something for the visitor."

"I'm sorry. Grateful."

"No. Never mind."

"Still. Thank you, Shiloh. I'm just gonna tell you I can't. Forgive me. I promise to pay you back someday in the name of the mayor."

"Haha, you don't have to think that deeply. People live with each other. So this is obvious."

To my words, Mr. Cullen had his eyes round.

"... well. You're sweet. Then excuse me. I hope your business goes well."

With that said, Mr. Karen left the store.

"Brother Shiloh, I hope one of your shiatsu likes the town!

"Right."

Aina's head. Why?

The point is, we just need to have the tools that the inspectors like, right?

All right. Do I have a lot more to offer besides a match?

So, what shall we prepare?
