- The problem of lack of manpower, which has plagued our White Wolf store for a long time, has also finally come to an end.

Noir just hired.

Talent that the Adventurer Guild plans to introduce you to.

A friend of Sylvia's who was to move out of the neighboring town.

The last one isn't definitive yet, but if we're all together, me and Garnett will be combined into a five-person system.

With all this, you won't have to hire adventurers for the short term to turn the store around, and vice versa, hiring adventurers will allow you to prepare holidays in addition to closed days.

Finally, we can build a proper system as a store.

It's quite emotional to remember when I started it alone.

"Still... Noir guy, it's late today"

Noir, the second employee, didn't show up when he said it was time to start preparing to open the store.

"Didn't you even sleep with him?

Garnett, who was cleaning up after breakfast, came back in a frightened manner.

"I hope that's why..."

When I look out the window, a cold light rain is pounding the leaves of the grass.

Green Hollow Town's security is better for it, but still, in case of a sudden illness or accidental accident.

There are other possibilities I don't really want to think about.

Where the thought was about to lean in a negative direction, Teng himself, who had been the subject of the topic, came into the store from casual means.

"... Shh, sorry I'm late..."

"No, we're on time. Did something happen to you today?

"Actually... I tried to make something like this yesterday..."

Noir spread the contents of the bag, which had been lowered from his shoulder, to the counter without hesitation.

Handcrafted accessories with intricate patterns, rolls bracketed in simple strings.

It was a number of items that I had seen many times in my long adventurer life, but Noir said he 'tried to make' these.

"No way, did you make this yourself?

"Skills... because I have... It's been a long time... but I think it worked. This... I don't think I can sell it in the store..."

That said, Noir has turned a reluctant gaze at my reaction.

"Hey, Sakura and I went shopping yesterday."

"... ingredients, I wanted to buy them..."

Noir had a clumsy smile on his face with a clear lack of sleep.

If it was that time yesterday when I bought the ingredients and went home, by the time I finished making so many magic items, I would have been completely up late at night already.

Sleep deprivation openly reduces work efficiency.

There are no exceptions whether it is manual labor or brain labor, and it is extra poor quality that makes it difficult for the person to become aware of it.

Even in the midst of adventure, it is an iron rule to ensure proper sleep unless a time limit is imminent at present.

It's not an adventure we're in, it's a business, but it might be worth noting that we still have a face for lack of sleep.

"(But suddenly it's not a good idea to just pay attention)"

I'm sure Noir has brought the suggestion of manufacturing and selling magic items, wondering if there is a way to make his own contribution.

It wasn't a good idea that I had a job today but I shredded my sleep, but there are some things to prioritize over paying attention to.

"Are you selling magic items? I didn't think of that one. Sometimes it's mixed up with the traffickers' merchandise, but it wasn't in Green Hollow where they sell it, was it?

"... [Prop Creation] is basically, because it's a wizard's sub-skill... I sell it occasionally in fundraising... but not many people make it their main business..."

The area looks similar to my [restoration] skills.

[Restoration] Skills are sub-skills of various professions dealing with tools, and the main skills of the main industry are used as a priority, so in most cases the restoration accuracy is not high.

On the other hand [magic prop creation] is a wizard's sub-skill, with a limited supply to the market because it only sells out when it earns funds for its activities beside the research of the main business.

Both are sub-skills, and therefore insufficient quality and supply are available for demand.

"Well, if you're in the city, there's a magic prop store."

Pinch your mouth as the garnet widens its scroll with interest.

"- Oh, I guess it's made up of a lot of wizards living in the city."

Even if the production per wizard is insignificant, if there are large numbers, the total production will be considerable.

A specialist who buys and sells magic items from them will also be fully made up in the city.

For a moment, it is possible that something like that city's exclusive Wizard Guild exists and has a monopoly on purchasing and selling.

Whatever it is, it has nothing to do with a country town like Green Hollow.

"... Luke... I don't know. I think it's going to sell in this store..."

"Yeah, sounds pretty good to go. From now on, let's also try to sell magic items. Let's start with exam sales."

"Oh, yeah? Good......"

"Except"

Bend over a little and peek into Noir's face.

Noir was frightened by the pale and reddish tide of his white skin when he didn't have much experience looking at his face like this.

"It's not a good idea if you don't sleep well enough to get in the way of work. Shall I make it as business during business hours from now on? Taking a break is part of the job."

"Ahhh... ok..."

"In the meantime, this weather won't even stretch your legs for a while, so why don't you grab some sleep?

"Yes, no, but..."

It was an outspoken noir, but when I recommended it even more strongly, I went to my bedroom.

It still seems weak when pushed hard.

Two adventurers are still to be asked to work in short-term employment today.

Guests will also wait for the light rain to rise before starting to act, and even if they open in a four-person system that meets Garnett with me, they will have no problem turning around until noon.

I was just about to start getting ready to open the store, and Garnett approached me subtly behind.

"You're an arms dealer and you even sell demon props? He's a maniac."

"Just because my skills are the only way to cover purchases, doesn't mean I don't want to sell other products."

This is just a coincidence, but the store sign is also a 'White Wolf Store' and not just a store name for weapons.

If you can cover unmet demand, expanding your product lineup is one of the options.

"If you leave me alone, I'll go to the store. Why don't we just sell the whole thing from the shaking cage to the coffin?

"Ha. That might be interesting, too."

We had a joking conversation, and we were getting ready to welcome today's guests.
