The Man Picked Up By the Gods (Reboot)

Side calm norad

And the next day.

"Good morning!

The manager of the store today attends the normal hours.

I'm concerned that it's a little too bright than stuck,

"Good morning, Store Manager. Did you get a proper return and rest yesterday?

"Huh? Yeah, quite."

There was a strange time right now.

"Store manager? Are you resting properly?

"I went home properly, and I slept. It's just that when I left, the slime evolved again, so I went to bed a little late."

"Again? Be on your way."

"It's okay. Because it's not enough to get in the way of work, and I think this evolutionary rush will be over soon. Tons of garbage collected from people in the village who took care of them on Fatma territory. Because the slimes seem to be rapidly storing nutrients and preparing for evolution.

Oh, by the way, there were two species that evolved last night. Both are evolutions from sticky slimes eating “Mizugumo” that are considered edible over there, one featuring a "spider slime" characterized by the skills of “nesting” or “capturing”. Looks like Mizugumo was a real spider considering this result. I thought it was crab...... well that's trivial. The other one became a "crust slime” with “crust molding” skills.

Neither of them have the same basic abilities or appearance as Sticky - "

"It was, Store Manager. I got a response from an example launderer."

"- Oh, have you? It was yesterday today, but it's early. I thought it would take longer."

I'm sorry to block what you're talking about that sounds fun, but when it comes to slime, the store manager starts talking for hours, so I'll show you a letter from the other party that was arriving first thing in the morning to deflect your attention. I don't mind if this is after lunch break or after work, but you have to refrain from opening the store. If the store manager and the deputy store manager were throwing out their jobs, there would be no indication around.

Especially since the store manager understands that there too and is basically a serious person so it's not a big problem...... oh?

"Hmm... this letter says you can always come to the store. Is it okay to receive it on par and today or something?

"Can you show it to me, too?

Receive a letter from the store manager and look through.... I see.

"It actually says you can visit anytime, and I think you'll be fine if it's not obviously a busy time"

"I see. When it was past lunch, then. Shall we visit the store after lunch? I want my clothes to be solid, and I want to avoid disturbing you during breaks as much as possible."

"Yes, I did. I'll be ready, too."

And I just said, because we talked about clothes just before, or here I caught an eye on the manager's arm.

"That's unusual. Is that a bracelet?

Store managers basically don't wear accessories. I've never seen you wear it.

Depending on the customs of the land where you were born and raised, you may wear what you decide, regardless of your age or gender, but you don't even listen to that.

However, today's manager's left arm is wrapped with a metal rope, and the clasp connecting both ends is embellished with a decorative stone and integrated, like a bracelet (...).

And I thought,

"Is this it? Hehe, does that look like it?

"Is it not?

"No, I'm making it look that way, so it's not a mistake. Actually, this is slime, too. It's called an evolved wire slime on Fatma territory, which stretches your body to become filamentous. I thought it might look like an accessory when combined with a stone that would be decorative as an application."

"Were you..."

Does it make sense to fulfill and deliberately substitute accessories with slime?

Such a simple question came to my mind, but when I saw the store manager speaking in a pleasant way, I was told, and I found a good cut of the story without saying anything, and put the story back to work.

And after lunch.

In addition to me and the store manager, who got in good hands,

"Best wishes. Mr. Eudham."

"I'll take care of it!

Oh, my God, Mr. Eudham has joined his entourage as an escort.

I am deeply surprised that the manager asked me to escort him himself.

Why, because the store manager usually doesn't involve enough escorts to say the least.

Now I truly understand that the store manager is an adventurer and quite capable, but right after I met the store manager, there was a strong awareness that he was still a child, even when he was an adult, and when the store began to thrive and be disrupted by trivial motives, I advised him to put his dedicated escort aside many times.

And the store manager basically listens to me and my sister a lot and takes their opinions into account......

“Because I'm an adventurer," “Because I can protect myself," ”It's okay, it's okay."

and only listened to putting on an escort as relaxed, but resolutely. As the only exception, I asked Mr. Faye to accompany me in a formal sense when visiting the Duke's house. Really only that once.

Mr. Faye, Mr. Leelyn, Mr. Dolce to you, Mr. Ox... thoroughly in case there are no stores or our employees. (i) I am as indifferent to myself, even though I gather excessive force as an escort to the store.

In a half-armed escort, the opposite may be true of foot clumps......

"Mr. Callum, is something wrong? Something like they've been watching me for a while now."

Apparently, he was chasing me with his eyes.

"It's unusual for the manager to ask for an escort himself."

"Huh?... Speaking of which, Mr. Callum and Mr. Carla recommended me many times, right?"

I guess the manager also remembers what my sister and I used to advise on and didn't listen to. I look away a little awkwardly.

"I'm not angry about anything. I also understand that the store manager is strong now. I just purely doubt why I spoke to Mr. Eudham today."

"I've heard a lot of noise lately. Looks like something happened this morning, because I saw the people they were taking, and then this garment, Suit, is not fit to move hard. Oh, but next time you might want to have a warcraft skin or a suit that can move with highly athletic materials."

"It's a moving dress. I don't know if it's for combat, but if it makes it easier for the clothes to move, there will be demand. I've never been able to move past normal clothes."

Speaking of which, if the manager comes to the city from your North Mine, it's the North Gate that passes. Surely there was a detention area near there besides the guard's stuffing. So I'm comfortable saying that I happen to see someone being taken, but to that extent, something similar should have happened before...... clothes are hard to move around, so just in case?

"Just the articular part, for example."

Where I used to go...

"Such skins and plants!? Warcraft is really a wide variety. Then..."

... or store manager, don't talk to Eudham about moving clothes.

"Store manager. I come up with ideas as if I thought from these casual conversations. I honestly admire the idea, but it's all out of my mouth."

"Oh, excuse me. I'll see you later on this story, Mr. Eudham."

"Copy that!"

Damn, the store manager is either an artisan temperament or a researcher temperament...... information that could possibly generate a lot of money in the future, even though it still comes to mind now. I couldn't overlook walking the city as one merchant with a proposal to concretize it.

I've wondered a few times if I might overprotect Master Serge and the Alliance Master's response, but this happens sometimes, so I guess watching them worries me...

With that in mind, I walk about two people casually talking about shops and city buildings around me.

And...

"... Um, Mr. Callum?

"Yes."

"That's the shop, right?"

"It should..."

Naturally our feet stopped when we entered the street where the launderer was located. There's a pile of people just a few steps away from the store. That too, young men of good stature take out horns, hammers, etc… creating a swordswallowing atmosphere that I don't think is a very customer.

"It doesn't matter what I think. What do we do, Mr. Store Manager?"

"I don't care what they say we do...... apparently some people already realize this one, and even if we change the day, we don't know if it's convenient or bad to not listen. If so, thank you."

When the manager says so in a slightly stiff voice, he approaches the group with dignity.

Me and Mr. Eudham will consolidate our sides so that we don't leave.

As we approach, many gazes are directed from the population to identify,

"Hello, I'd like to ask you a few questions, is something wrong?

Approaching the distance of one horse, the manager opened his mouth first.

And the group slightly bothered, and it was one man who opened his mouth.

"Nothing."

... I don't think it's anything in this situation, but if that's what you're saying,

"Really? So can you let me through? We need to use the store."

And as soon as the manager told me so. The man's expression changes from grumpy to angry.

"Hey, you said for this store. What do you want?"

"Uh, are you related to the store?

"I don't care!

"I don't care."

Too much attitude, I got a mouthful.

A man who comes looking at us naturally.

But...

"We're here to talk business with the head of this store. You are not obliged to tell anyone who is not an associate of the store what the business is about, and it also involves your credibility as a merchant. It is only natural to check if you are a related party. In the first place, we have written to your store manager in advance. If you're not related, pick it up."

"... ugh!

I can't seem to argue with that, either, and after a few seconds of silence,

"Shit! With the mess...... but I knew it! You're the grounders trying to take this store by some weird contract!

'... what?

Suddenly, what are you going to say, this man?

"I never thought I'd bring a kid, but a grounder would convince me how to fit that kid's liver."

"No, it's just that the manager..."

He said, "You know what? You could have rounded it up with your mouth! We were listening, and they sent us a letter asking us to buy this store!

"It is!

Sure, we sent a letter yesterday to talk about the takeover, but there's no way it's a groundhog. Try to remember the main points of the letter.

Objective: To increase convenience for the customer.

Reducing the burden per store by distributing customers across multiple stores.

Conditions: Purchase of a home and workshop currently owned by the other party. Workshops only. Consultation.

After the takeover, the hopeful person will continue to be employed as is. No eviction from the current address is required.

Basically, the difference between before and after the acquisition is the content of the job. Unified in the way of Bamboo Forest.

However, care should be taken to minimize changes in branch employees and order lines.

I should have sent it with this kind of content. I'm not even thinking about kicking my parents and kids out. I even thought it would be better for me to work as it is, so I don't think there's any reason to get this kind of response...

"Wait a minute. Talk calmly."

"Just kidding! That's how Temehe and the others trick people into winding up their money and houses!

"That's right!!

"Because of you guys! Some guys got kicked out of the house with no Ate to go!

"Even this store! There were people coming to sell it again and again!

Skinny of the first man's anger, the men around him also began to raise their voices.

Already kicked out of the house? Someone was coming to sell this store?? It's

"Mr. Callum."

"Store manager. I thought you were probably thinking the same thing"

"I mean, this is definitely wrong with someone else,"

I had recently heard that there were various problems in various parts of the city.

That still seemed no exception here.

I'm sure there are people who are acting like they say.

But that's not us, and we don't have trouble being together.

"I generally understand what you're all trying to say. But we weren't the ones who worked that evil. We are from Bamboo Forest, a launderer with a shop to the east of Gimru."

The store manager replied, "You can come anytime."

Explain that I also received a reply to the letter, following the manager who clearly denied the charges made earlier and gave the name of the store. Then,

"Bamboo Forest, right there."

"Yeah, but our workshop's taking care of us, too."

"Your wife replied to your letter?

"No, there's a rumor that that store is run by a kid... Huh? Seriously?"

Apparently some of you knew about us.

voice began to rise from within the group, and the hostility gradually diminished, at that time,

"Don't be fooled!!

Even then, that man yells.

"Although some of the guys would have actually tricked the name of a store into bringing up the story!

"Oh well!

"No, but it looks like the store is making a lot of money."

"Right? I don't care if we talk about it."

"You idiot! Remember! That's how many guys listened to the wheelies and were brought into the contract! Even the guild wouldn't have done anything with a stiff" I have a contract ”! Now try to get your wife and kids lost on the street! Can you guys face your dad?!?

One after another in the man's words, the look on the faces of people who were about to listen to me clouded.

Maybe some of these are actually deceived.

the guild did nothing, I'm a little concerned that

"Even if it's a kid, if you're gonna get your hands on this store, I'm not gonna forgive you! I'm gonna knock you out so you don't feel like coming here again!

This is not good, it doesn't make sense at all.

"... even though it was..."

"Huh? Store -!?"

The moment I couldn't hear the whining words and looked away.

What popped into my eyes were the eyes of a store manager I'd never seen before.

The store manager has always occasionally, remembered something and was depressed, but this time not the ratio...... I felt dark and heavy.

"Store manager? What's up?

"No, it's a shame to see what's going on... of course, it's because of all the things that happened to you... but the people in the city aren't different from Gorotsuki."

I think that voice contained something of deep disappointment, disappointment.

I also don't know what it's like to want to say that. I'm rather convinced......

"Ahem!? What the hell did you just say!

On this occasion, the worst word to oil the fire.

Mr. Eudham is moving forward.

"Huh!? Are you sure?

- The manager himself stopped me trying to get out.

"It's the result of saying what I thought to myself. You'll be the one to take it. Mr. Eudham, just in case Mr. Callum doesn't have one."

"… Copy"

"You've got a good heart, don't you?"

"Because you don't think I said anything wrong. I'm not even willing to correct it. You won't have to."

The words make the atmosphere unnecessarily bad, but the store manager adds,

"Good adults get together, show off their good stuff like that, they just try to shout out and intimidate me, and I can't have a decent conversation. I'm not even going to. What's so different from Gorotsuki, who's causing all the commotion in the city? And I thought, and I said, Am I wrong?

"Ko, this fucking kid..."

Store manager...... I agree, but I don't have to bother to say it again.

The tone is polite, and pale, but I feel sharp thorns at the ends of the words.

"Mr. Eudham, I get it, too. I was talking about it yesterday, and it felt tingly."

"That's good. So, what do we do?

"... you don't know. I don't care what they usually say, that's right - because I'm the kind of person who laughs and flushes. I've never reacted like this before."

For once, I was forced to take this opportunity.

"By the way, are you in the shadow of your door, the manager of your store?

"Ah......!

I was paying attention to the manager and the man and didn't notice.

The door of the store where the men were gathered opened slightly, and it appeared that a woman of her age who was said to be skinny and still old from the gap was asking how it was. Probably the woman who owns this store.

"Hey, what are you doing, ma'am! Come on, get inside!

"The... me..."

"I was just letting you talk."

"Don't break into other people's stories and come in!

"- Could you let me talk to you?

"It's all right! You and the kid, we'll protect you!

"Ah..."

The woman shopkeeper's gaze came and went between the manager, us, and the gathered men.

Even in the meantime, the man desperately threw his words at a woman who showed her lost sight,

"... excuse me"

And eventually, the woman shopkeeper went back to the store.

Then the manager looked at us,

"Both of you, let's go home"

What was the interaction until earlier?

I'm just trying to get back the way I came, just saying I've lost interest already.

The speed of that transformation also bewildered the man who had been involved until earlier.

"Huh? Hey!"

"Oh, I'm sorry to bother you. We decide your wife's will has been confirmed, and we're leaving. I don't think you'll ever come here again, but if you ever complain about anything earlier, please make an appointment at the store."

"Apo, what the...?

"Excuse me, I'm talking about the appointment. I will neither run nor hide. You may bring that hand. However, if anything scares or hurts our clerks or customers, we will do everything we can to deal with (...)"

The pressure put into that word, quiet but not letting you say yes or no.

"Mr. Eudham, let's go too"

"Oh!"

Fortunately, the manager was just walking slowly, so catching up was easy.

"Store manager. What's wrong with you? Suddenly."

"Mr. Callum. Excuse me, but you should give up on that store acquisition... No, I'm not attracted anymore. Too bad, let's find another store and people or build a branch normally"

"I have no objection to that either. There's no need to rush, and let's just think slowly from 1 again."

"Right."

... that's clear, the manager who gets silent.

The weird thing to think too much about is the malice of the store manager, which isn't that uncommon, but given the stinging response earlier, this time it must be more serious than usual.

The reason the store manager gets angry comes to mind quite a bit if you think about it in common sense.

But all the things that come to mind are things that are going to flush lightly if you're a regular store manager.

I can't usually recieve things that I can recieve.

I mean, isn't that all you can afford?

"Store manager. I feel a lot distracted, are you okay?

If you ask that, the store manager would have tried to make a denial, but without words.

After one sigh of sighing at how I omitted my actions a little,

"Right. He seemed a little too uptight."

And I admitted my words.

"If you have something to worry about, could you let me ask?

"I don't think it's a problem as it is now. But just in case, it feels like.

For example, if you're talking about the store, there's Mr. Callum. It's going to be a pussy if I put it out here to make out, but if this wasn't Mr. Callum, and it was an earlier woman, I'm sure I wouldn't mind leaving the store to you. "

"I totally agree with you on that. Modestly, her shop, as the previous information suggests," was supported by the surroundings, so it must have been kept going. "

The manager nods. Our views on this seem to be unanimous.

"As they were talking about, I'm not really in the store, but as a bent manager, I believe that those who stand above employees have a responsibility to stabilize management and protect the store and employees"

That was possible for me, and the store manager decided it was impossible for that woman.

This would mean that I trust “I can handle the store."

"But unexpected things and irrational things come suddenly. No matter how vigilant you get, there's nothing more than us being human... and losing something is just for a moment. A moment of carelessness. A moment of alarm. It's not uncommon, in an instant, for something important to be irretrievable"

……

That's a word that feels experience and weight, like an older old man.

The manager, who spoke of it very naturally, laughed bitterly,

"Try not to be unexpected, just in case. It seemed natural and powerful when I was thinking about it."

"Again, aren't you comfortable with this city being rough?

"I won't deny that, but in the end it's a matter of my character. Me, Mr. Callum, everyone in the city is feeling insecure and taking the necessary measures on their own. You're out of your hands, aren't you? I don't even suspect that. But some people would think," It's not enough yet, "no matter how far you take care of it, right?

"That's for sure"

"I'd like to be careful, too. Nevertheless, it's my personality that makes me think about that, so please keep it up."

And I'm a store manager who says that with a smile like a successful prank, but that doesn't have to be said anymore.

"Naturally. That's why I'm here."

With that said, the manager, again, laughing that it was so, returns on the road to the store.

I can't feel the heavy air on its back until now, and I think it was slightly lightweight.
