31-49 gossip 65 Eric and Barbara

"Barbara, how about an inventory of spices?

"Uh, you're still okay."

The only store in the village of Kaina, "Eric's".

It is also a branch of the Raglan Chamber of Commerce and also serves as a purchasing base in the village of Kaina.

It is mainly daily goods and clothing that we sell.

Since the village of Kaina is a small village with a population of about 100, there are two payment methods: currency and barter when buying goods.

"So-so are today's sales."

Barbara said while doing the math.

Together for several months, these clerical tasks were completely on the board.

"Right. That's fine."

There are two main sources of income for "Eric's Shop".

One is for sale to villagers.

And the other is' wholesale 'to the Raglan Chamber of Commerce, the head office.

Wholesale is mainly 'fur' or 'demon stone sand (Magissando)' obtained in barter with villagers.

It is also a rubber product, including "pen tip" and "rubber ball", which is purchased from Jen via Erdo Castle.

In addition to those two, they also have the role of delivering the rare magic equipment developed by Jen to the head office, even though it is irregular, at which time the only fee is paid.

"Soon, when your father-in-law is here."

"Oh, yeah."

"Kingsville's a little far away, so it's tough."

"Yeah. But because this is business"

"Oh well."

"Would you like to go again?

"Hmm, hey......"

To the words from Eric, Barbara remembered a while ago when she visited the King's Capital.

"This is the capital city of Alban."

"Wow, that's big"

To report the marriage, Eric and Barbara both visited the Raglan Chamber of Commerce headquarters, or Eric's home.

From Kaina village to Toka village we rode the golem horse so we could get there in one day, but from Toka village it was on foot, so we walked two days to Charles town. It took another three days from there to Alban.

The population of Alban is roughly 8,000, eighty times that of the village of Kaina.

"You're amazing..."

Barbara looking around for a moment. Totally boss.

Compared to the village of Kaina, the number of people is different. The clothes he was wearing were also elegant and dirty, and Barbara was blinded.

"I knew the city was different..."

Barbara shrugged around sighing.

Speaking of myself and Eric's outfits, I carry my traveling luggage on clothes that I was able to village. No matter how you look at it, you can see that it came out of the country.

"Come on, let's go to the Chamber of Commerce first."

Eric shook the luggage on his back and spoke to Barbara.

The headquarters of the Raglan Chamber of Commerce was relocated to the central part of Notable Street this year.

It was such a leap.

"Right here."

"Wow, wow!

Barbara looked out.

"I'm home now"

Eric walks into the store from the general entrance next to him, not the front entrance. Barbara also continued.

"Oh, welcome home!

"Barbara, you've come a long way"

All of Eric's relatives, including his father Roland, were gathered together.

"No, I'm sorry Eric got such a good daughter-in-law!

"Mr. Barbara, my unreliable son, but it's always my pleasure."

That night there was a banquet to celebrate their marriage.

"Thank you. I will try my best."

Reddening his face, Barbara answers. I was happy.

Then for a week, Barbara stayed in Alban with Eric.

He was learning the initial know-how of commerce, not all day, but in between, he could go and see the city.

It was in the beginning that Barbara was sparkling her eyes at the first King's Capital......

"... I don't know, that's boring"

Remember the job is good. You are still studying hard.

It is life in the King's capital that has become boring.

Certainly there were many people, busy, gorgeous and showing the bustle the capital deserved.

But that is all.

"... I kind of miss the village"

Just a week...... Barbara, who had been away from Kaina village for two weeks if she had also been on the road, seemed to have a heart.

I can't help it.

"Hot Springs... I miss you..."

Co-hot springs in the village of Kaina.

"Rice... the rice in the castle cafeteria was delicious..."

Sightseeing the city and having lunch in the dining room. It doesn't taste good at the price.

"And the bathroom..."

Even in the Klein kingdom, we are beginning to invest in public health, but we are no match for the village of Kaina, where Jen guided the construction from hand to hand.

It became clear to me that if I became accustomed to seeing it, neither the people of the city nor the villagers would change.

Instead, I even think that the people in the village of Kaina who can be taught the wisdom of reading, writing, calculating, and life might be smarter.

"Oh, Hannah's definitely smart."

I even think Hannah is smarter than the adults there, no, maybe than the ones who are called Bachelors.

It was Barbara who went outside and first learned how good her hometown was.

"Wow!

"Ba, Barbara!?

As soon as I saw the village of Kaina at a far foot from Togo, there was Barbara who jumped off the carriage and ran out.

"Ha ha, Eric, I guess I'll miss it if I make it Mr. Barbara. For the first time in my life, I was almost a month away from home."

Roland, who accompanied him, laughs.

"It's been a long time since I've been in Kaina village, too. I kind of miss you."

"Ha, ha"

Running all the way down from the river, Barbara crossed a bridge over the Hermé River, through the side of Erdo Castle, and rushed into the village of Kaina.

"I'm home!!

"Oh, Barbara, welcome home"

"Barbara, you lost a little weight, didn't you?

Barbara, whose face appeared in the house of village chief Geebeck, was greeted by her uncle, Geebeck, and his wife, Sally, the healer.

"Ah, hey, welcome home"

And Luu, the two adopted sons, also greeted Barbara with a smile.

"I'm home, Lou.... Yes, a souvenir"

"Wow, thanks!

Barbara handed her uncle and his wife a souvenir from the luggage she was carrying to Luu, who became her cousin.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Barbara."

"Eric, what about you?

"I ran down from Togo."

That made all three look a little frightened.

"... well, I don't know, but I don't know."

but to Sally, who was not originally a person in the village, it seemed she could perceive the feeling.

So I decided to just say one word.

"Barbara, what you just felt, take care of your hometown, don't forget that feeling."

"Ha... yes!

Barbara recognised that the village of Kaina was her own home.

From now on, he made up his mind to do more for the village.

"Hey, Barbara!

I heard Eric in the distance.

"Oh, I'm sorry! I'm on my way!

Barbara replied well,

"See you later, Uncle, Dr. Sally, Lew, see you later."

He said hello and left the village chief's house.

The sky in Kaina village was blue and clear, and the early autumn winds were driving the clouds apart.
