My 【Repair】Skill Became an Almighty Cheat Skill, So I Thought I’d Open Up a Weapon Shop

A few days have passed since the opening of the Hollow Bottom branch, one morning.

When I woke up and left my room, I was not surprised by the unusual tranquility in the living room.

I can't help but be surprised how quiet my house was.

The living room where the morning sun plugs in is filled with silence as if it were deserted, and every movement of me walking in the living room makes it sound louder than I thought.

"(Just because you don't have a garnet, it changes you so much...)"

As promised previously, Garnett has taken a long vacation to face his parents' meeting and has left Green Hollow.

He said he was leaving before dawn, so he left town while I was still asleep.

I also thought I should wake up at the same time and drop him off, but it's not like this is a lifetime goodbye, so I stopped thinking it was too much.

As for my guard, Garnet's original role - and I also doubt if he needs it anymore - the Silver Wings Knights are starting to substitute for more patrols around the area while on vacation.

Felix, the commander, apologized for being inferior to certainty compared to the escort of the dwelling, but he can't help it because he can't afford to screw out personnel for it.

Even for me, suddenly living alone with a strange knight is welcome because there is resistance in many ways to boulders, so I settled into this form.

"(Hmm? That's......)"

I thought I'd even prepare breakfast, and I noticed that there was a cloth-covered plate in the corner of the table.

Its contents were a simple breakfast.

I don't even have to think about who prepared it when.

"Totally... I would have been busy myself..."

I intend to smile bitterly, but my mouth usually breaks.

I'm sure it would be something like 'I finally made more because I wanted to,' if Garnett told me, but it still didn't make a difference to me that I was happy.

Eventually, it's opening time and the customer starts coming in.

There are five employees today who have added me to Noir and Alexia, Erica and Leila.

However, it still enters the store to such an extent that it can turn around without any problems.

"... I knew... that's about it, but... just, okay..."

Squeeze like Noir is relieved.

I fully agree with that, too.

"Since the branch opened, adventurers diving underground have been using you. Given the size of the store, it's been packed too much."

The size of the store was twice as large as the Hollow Bottom branch and almost double the number of employees were available.

Return the back, and as many customers as you would have needed would have pushed into this little shop.

"Before, I was really, really busy... with the magic props, the research... at all... I want to try, the idea... seems to flake..."

"Bad, bad. For everyone who's been working for me for a long time, I need to make up for something later."

Noir isn't good with people and talking anyway, but he's a pretty loud and focused type when it comes to demonic props.

The days when I didn't spend time there all over the job probably put a lot of stress and frustration on her.

"What is filling, for example?

"Right... what do you call a bonus, or a long vacation home like Garnett... what is Alexia"

"What is it? I took a word for it."

"You can take as much as you want. I'm not gonna break it."

"I'm looking forward to it! So Ha!"

Alexia walked away towards the merchandise shelf behind the store with a lousy nose twist, holding the merchandise she had brought from behind.

As a matter of fact, none of the members who work in our store are from Greenhollow Town at all.

As for me, of course, Garnett and Leila are from a clan of knights… that is, the territory and the king's capital equate to their homeland, and Alexia is from a multilayered city far from here.

I don't know where Noir's hometown is, but at least I'm just certain that it's not here, and the branch members are all from other regions who have come at the brokerage of the Sundial Chamber of Commerce.

Only Erica is from Walnut Town, a neighboring town down the mountain, so it's not a mistake to say she's a local.

Erica's position is that she has popped out of her parents' house against it in order to become independent as a pharmacist in the future.

Then only she may not be pleased with 'Long Holidays for Homecoming'.

With that in mind, a regular customer of Erica's potion came to the store.

"Hey, Mr. White Wolf! I brought you an empty bottle, so pick it up!

Men working in the green hollow mountains put crates full of empty bottles of potion all the way to the counter.

"You're collecting empty bins. Erica, this way, please!

"Yes, yes!

Erica, who was re-displaying, rushes back and counts the number of clean washed empty bins.

The selling price of the potion is also multiplied by the price of glass bins, and when it comes to buying ten and twenty bottles in bulk, this becomes an amount that can hardly be ignored.

Even if the glass wasn't as precious as it was a long time ago as it was precious metallic, it's not even cheap enough to be unwrought and thrown away.

So, if you wash and hold the empty bottle of potion we bought, we adopted the system of refunding the equivalent of the cost of the glass bin.

Of course it was Erica who suggested this.

He said the system, which also operated on a trial basis at his parents' house in Walnut Town, was highly regarded for the fact that the pharmacist side could make substantial discounts without losing money.

Furthermore, in our store, even a broken bottle can be bought according to its weight.

Naturally, this is a service based on my [repair] skills.

"Twenty empty bins, so it's two small silver coins."

"Oops. I'll split it between the five of us later, so give me some bronze."

"Then with twenty big copper coins. I just formulated my fatigue recovery's, do you want to buy them?

"Well, one more box, please. Can you deliver it in the evening or so?

"A box of potions, a delivery fee and... fractions are made into a big silver coin."

"Always bad!

Erica serves customers in a perfectly mature manner.

At this rate, can dreams of having one's own store be fulfilled in a few years?

Since the guests have returned, they decide to carry a box with an empty bin behind the store for now.

"Garnett! Behind this guy... don't go crazy"

Oh, boy. It really works on the assumption that Garnett is here.

Noir and Erica have been seeing it with a decent face, but all they could do was laugh appropriately and mislead.
