The Man Picked Up By the Gods (Reboot)
Fina's Holidays
"Na...... fi......"
"Ho...?
My body shakes...... is someone calling me?
"Fina, wake up!
"... Jane?
"Damn it! I'm usually firm, why is it just bad to wake up like this?
........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... But I'm off today...
"Did you forget to tell me that we're all going out of town?
"It was!
We can all take a weekly break together from this month onwards. That's why we talked about going to the city together!
"I'll be ready in a minute, wait!
I rushed to the dorm lobby to prepare. In addition to Maria and Jane, who came to earn money with us, there was a colleague, Mr. Leelyn, waiting.
"Sorry to keep you waiting! Sorry I'm late."
"Oh, my goodness."
"Never mind, sir."
"It's the same thing."
I'd argue with Jane's words, but I can't say it back. Why am I sleeping so badly...?
"Come on, I'm coming!
We go out to the city ahead of Jane, who speaks out in a heartbeat. Walking around encouraged by Mr. Leelyn about his tardiness, he also felt a little depressed.
I'm in business with a single worker in the city for breakfast. Buy and eat at the stalls. It was a shop for men who work fleshly, so me and Maria had a little too much of a meal.
Afterwards, buy daily necessities or look around at clothes. The four of us enjoy the life of the city.
Time was running out when I was doing so. I thought it was morning until just now, but if you noticed, it was a little past noon already.
I didn't think we could come and make a living like this... we're definitely lucky. When I was in the village, I thought working early in the morning to late at night every day wouldn't make me any money I could spend freely. Because that's what all the people who went out and came back said.
I think maybe Jane and Maria were thinking the same thing. But it's actually not what I expected: every single person is given a private room, and Mr. Sherma makes delicious food for his meal, and he pays a lot. Even if you double the amount of money you plan to send, you can save about the amount of money you can spend on buying, eating and shopping on your weekly outing.
Maria sometimes gets bogged down and falls and gets hurt. But in that case, they're healing me with healing magic immediately. From what Leelyn told me, it looks like Faye had her leg fracture healed, too, and for free.
It's not usually easy to ask for healing magic. You can always get that for free in our store for employees only. When business disruption began, the manager decided to make a slime called heel slime reside in the store.
At first, it was managed by the manager, but when Robelia and the others were there, they did. And now it's managed by Maria, who learned to obey witchcraft. I hear it's a precious slime, so can I keep it that easy? I think...... but I'm so relieved to be able to take healing magic at any time.
When my parents in the village sent us a letter worrying about our lives and employers, I was able to write back to them saying I didn't have to worry about them.
"Fina, what are you boggling about? Haven't you got eyes open yet?
"I'm already awake. How long are we gonna pull that story?"
"In the meantime, I'm going to the example store."
Example store...... It's a popular coffee shop in the city of Gimru lately, the treats are relatively cheap and they seem delicious. Maria and Jane wanted to go after hearing the rumors, so we were talking about making the break after shopping there.
When you enter the store, wooden tables and chairs are arranged, flowers to be decorated everywhere. Not on fire this season, but in a calm atmosphere store with a big fireplace in the corner.
We were led to the window seat. As I place my order with the female clerk and wait, Jane asks me in the meantime.
"So, what were you thinking earlier?
"Nothing. We were lucky."
"What, about that? Surely you can't afford such luxury if you're hired by a regular shop."
"It's a good place to work, with a decent delivery and a good day off."
"With that said, the three of them came from the same village, sir?
"Yes ~"
"It's a village with no strong warcraft, no specialties, and not so much land."
"If you're making money, one day is your current job, quitting ka?
Sure, there are people who make a living and go home, but we're not going to do that for the time being.
"If the manager tells me it's good, I'll work all the time ~"
"I can send you more than any other job, and I don't know if you can quit once and hire me again."
"If you recruit employees or something, you're going to kill the people you want. What about Mr. Leelyn and Mr. Faye? I heard you were a pedestrian before."
"Our country, very dangerous yo. Neither I nor my father are willing to go home, sir."
Zilmar...... what kind of country was that? It's a big but distant country, so I've only heard about the name. When I lived in the village, I should have known the name of this country and the villages around me, and I had little chance to ask about the distant country.
Like me, Maria and Jane don't seem to understand very well. I understand that it's dangerous, but I don't know how. Mr. Leelyn explained that to me when I realized it.
"Zilmar has been at war for a long time, sir. Not with other countries, but with nobles in the same country. It seems to have led to the usurpation of equipment used by the first emperor, who originally founded Zilmar, after the emperor's death, yo"
"Taking weapons from each other and going to war?
"Not only weapons, but armor and helmets, sir. Besides, it all seemed to have tremendous power, sir. When you have all of that gear together, you will gain the strongest power and be able to unify your country... there is still a frowning tale about yo"
"Even now?
"Now he's been at war. He's repeatedly avenged or avenged by his opponents. So the country is rough and there are many bandits. I don't have any family left in Zilmar, so I'll live in this peaceful country yo"
"Then you'll always be with me ~"
"Thank you for your continued support"
That's where the tea and sweets I was asking for came in.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, it's tea and seasonal fruit pie"
Jane and Maria shine their eyes on the tea and treats the clerk brought.
"Coming, coming! This is what I wanted!
"Here you go."
Two people are followed by me and Mr. Leelyn. Looks like there's some kind of fruit mixed in the pie. The sweetness and freshness of the fruit spreads into my mouth.
"Yeah. As rumored, it's delicious."
"Happiness ~"
When Jane and Maria say that, Mr. Leelyn agrees. Then we continue to chat with tea and sweets. And after a paragraph about the clothes I bought today, Jane abruptly cut out the story.
"Yes, what do you think the manager is like?
"What's the sudden matter?"
"In the meantime, you got a letter from the village, right? In a letter to me, did the manager or senior treat you cold? It says," Have you been forced to have a relationship or something? "
I heard you had an employer like that, so you were worried about Jane's family. Even my letter made me want to ask where it was.
"Of course, the store is a good one right now, and I wrote back that the man who uses his position to press for a relationship is not in our store... I thought I didn't know much about the manager."
"Really?"
"'Cause you hardly know anything about the store, except that you're a good kid, right? Isn't it about owning lots of slime and building houses in dilapidated mines?
If you ask me, sure. Most of the things we talk to the store manager about the facilities of the store, the handling of customers, and the treatment of employees. I hardly talk about anything else.
Then we all thought about it, but in the end the manager ended up talking about a good kid and a good guy. Let's find out what the manager looks like. Me and Mr. Leelyn aren't going to pry much, but Jane and Maria are going to go ask a lot of questions with momentum. Maybe you should be careful not to be annoying.
While I was thinking about that, I finished eating tea and sweets and left the store when I realized that I had stayed in the store for a long time. After that, we'll all walk through the city and go back to the dorm before dark.
My wallet got a little lighter today, but that's all right. Save your money and go to that coffee shop with everyone again next time.
