The Man Picked Up By the Gods (Reboot)

I'm home.

"Welcome back"

By the time we got back to Gimru, it was night, and all the employees were having dinner at the store with their faces on.

"Were you eating?"

"Do you want to eat the manager too?

"It's raining outside, and it would have been cold. Just soup, please."

Beginning with the cook, Sherma, the women stop eating and prepare my share.

Sweet for your words, a sip of the soup you gave me,

"Phew..."

It hits the core of your body...

"Thank you"

"No, good job with the manager"

"What was your job this time?

"That was a pretty steep story."

That when I entered the guild yesterday, someone happened to be issuing a search request for the missing person.

That I took it on. Explain the discovery and rescue of missing persons.

"That's why I sent that person to Kereban, and then I greeted the acquaintance over there and came home"

"I'm glad you saved me ~"

"I'm fortunate to be unhappy, really. We recovered and delivered the shipment that was supposed to be delivered, and the other weapon store had an understanding of the victim, so we wouldn't have a problem with future work.... Oh, yeah." Item Box, "Mr. Callum, take this."

"?... This is a list of magic tools, right? Speaking of DiNorm Magic Tools Workshop, isn't that where you make the Morgan Chamber of Commerce Orgol that you partnered with at the previous inaugural festival? You think it's a high-profile stock that's expanding well these days?"

Exactly.

"That's the acquaintance we talked about earlier. I was personally close to you before. So I promised you I could accommodate my magic tools..."

I asked Mr. DiNorm, a magic tool maker,

“What can I give Orgol back? Stupid selling, pretty bumpy.”

and.

So when I asked for the development of a watch with alarm function, surprisingly, a ready-made product came out of the back of the store. I was a little confused because it was finished before I ordered it, and I've said it would be my idea, but Mr. Serge told me that I was talking about it.

On second thought, I remember talking to Mr. Serge like that at the time I showed him Orgol.

I received it convincingly, but I was forced to ask if there was anything else I wanted because I couldn't afford one of those new watches.

"But I already have what I think I need, such as what I can use for camping, and I can't think of anything else I need because that didn't break... I've received a list of magic tools that that that magic tool maker can arrange better, so let me know what you need at the store or if you have a good one. Because if there's anything I can do to help, I can introduce it."

"What are the specific limits?"

"You didn't answer around there... don't hesitate to tell me to just want what I want. I had Mr. Serge when I promised too, so I trusted him.

It just seemed like you didn't have to be really reluctant to feel like you talked about it, and you'd be consulted anyway if you made as many demands as you wanted. Besides, as far as I'm concerned, I don't mind purchasing it at all if I need it.... That's how much you can afford a budget, right?

"Yes, it's perfectly fine if you consider it a necessary capital investment"

"Good. We apologize for the inconvenience, but take your input and choose what you need. Contact Lenav's branch the same way."

"Yes, sir."

"Yes, yes! Deputy Store Manager, show me too!

"What kind of things do you have?"

"Magic tools that can be used for security, if any, sir"

"Leelyn is right. I don't mind if I don't, but I'd be interested, yo."

The employees seem to have taken an interest. I turn the list around and read it, raising the magic tools that concern each of us.

"You've heard of this magic tool called“ stove. "I've never used it, but you think it's very easy to adjust the fire? I'd like to use it if you like. Lots of other rare cookware."

"Is Mr. Sherma a cookware after all? I'll cook every day. But I might want to try it too."

"I... it's getting cold and heating appliances and stuff?

"If you're a magic tool... don't save yourself the trouble of picking up firewood"

"Dolce, you don't have to pick up enough for use at the store. I'll buy it. But some things say magic tools go up cheaper... I need to check the area. If you can find a good product."

Proceed with a lively, warm meal.

And when dinner comes to a paragraph, Mr. Callum tells me that he has some reports, and he goes to the office.

... you let me work overtime because I came home at a weird time...

"Excuse me......"

"We won't be in this much overtime. The first is about the courtesy of the store manager I ordered the other day. The tailor contacted me and the courtesy was completed in three days. You can hand it over at any time after that."

I can do it so fast. If you think so, only a suit can do it in 3 days. They say a tie pin to be used as a decoration will take a week to finish. Still, I think it's early...

"I originally asked you to do it early, but this fits you well enough for the day you visit the Duke's mansion. The other craftsman waved his arms shamelessly at what he had kept."

"... you seem a lot in the mood."

Mr. Callum laughed lightly when he mouthed his honest thoughts.

"You must have been judged a superior. By the way, when the manager goes to say hello, please escort Mr. Faye."

I can trust Mr. Faye to escort him... capably, but do I need him?

"Not only does it ensure safety on the road, but it also has a formal meaning"

You mean formally... maybe it's normal for someone like a squire to be able to greet the Duke family. I accept that if that's the case. But...

"Mr. Callum is."

"You can't leave the store until I do. I'll tell you before we leave about the maneuvers."

"Really? So is the security at the store Mr. Faye dropped out okay?

"We'd like to increase the number of security personnel just in case."

"So let's ask the Adventurer Alliance to do the same as before"

"I think that's good too, but would you like to hire a new dedicated guard? Under the guidance of my sister, Mr. Cokin and the others continue their studies as Managing Directors at Lenav's branch. I think it would be a good opportunity to hire a trusted guard to prepare them for the new branch."

Hmm...... I did hear that Mr. Cokin and the others were doing well. Just in case, why don't we just leave the new branch around next year? It also tells the story. Then we have to arrange for people other than those responsible, and if we hire them in early to figure out if we can trust them, shall we educate them?

"Now let's look for both. For now, protecting the store is paramount."

"Yes, I did. Next...... excuse me, that's all for the report. From here it was a private message from Mr. Cokin and the others. There seems to be new discoveries and suggestions regarding the study of slime."

"Is it true!?

"There are two discoveries in all. Both are about cleaner slime operations."

What happened? I'm getting a little excited...

"The first is dominated by Mr. Robelia,“ about the beauty effects of cleaner slime ".

She said she was routinely cleansing herself with cleaner slime before bedtime and noticed that her skin was in better shape than before. From there, he asked his employees to cooperate in the experiment, as well as to observe the condition of the customer who asked him to wash his body and convinced him of the effect of improving his skin condition. They have a very high effect, especially on acne etc...... store manager?

"It's okay...... it was a blind spot"

I never really thought about beauty...... it does seem to help when you ask me.

Cleaner slime likes to eat dirt, but a full body wash would also remove the waste and old cuticles that remain attached. Besides, the acne is caused by excess sebum stuck in the pores. If all of them were to be removed, it would help keep the skin healthy. And it leads to beauty effects...?

"Details are summarized in this document"

"Thank you. I will write to you later about my considerations. [M] What about the other one?

"Tony discovered how to use cleaner slime."

That he has dirt off his clothes after laundry at work. Plus the fact that there's no moisture left in the garment makes them wash the paperwork that they've overwritten with their thoughts. As a result, the documents… even though “dirty paper” became “beautiful paper”, they were successfully reused.

Even if you're careful with paperwork errors, it's a discovery that leads to future expense reductions, especially when you're not used to work. I need to be a little bit careful... "

Uh-huh... this was another blind spot. It's easy if you ask me, but I wasn't even thinking about it.

"Can't you offer a bounty for this discovery?

"The study of slime is not a business, but I believe that the results of this one are also worth it as a store. So I agree. The problem is the amount......"

Considering the bonus, the company in the previous life was for one month (reduced by assessment).

"How much was their daily wage?

"I am currently 150 suites a day because I am training as a candidate for Store Manager"

Then I work 6 days a week, about 3600-4000 suites in a month? But it's going to help the store, and I want you to work hard in the future. About 3 months of combined research funding. Kiri, how about 10,000 suits per person?

"I thought it would be about two months... but I can afford to sell it. If you think of it as an investment in the future and you want to include research funding...... that's acceptable. I'll keep you posted."

"Regards"

Well, that seems to be the end of the report.

Just fine, so let's talk about hiring an ex-con.

I'll explain to Mr. Callum what I thought about talking to the gods this morning, how it happened.

Of course I hide about the past life and the gods... but without it his expression gradually clouds.

Would you still disagree?

I suppress the desire to hear that, and wait for his response to think about it.

"You disagree at the moment. But we're in our first year of management. Performance is good, and if you recruit now, you will attract as many regular job seekers as you want. I don't think you need to take risky talent. I thought we should at least set up a few more branches and stabilize the ground before we do it."

"Is it still true"

It's a natural answer.

I don't think I can accept it right away either.

The opinion that consolidating the ground is a priority is also valid.

"So I have a suggestion."

Hmm?

"Proposal?"

"Yes. I understand what it's like to be a store manager who wants to give ex-cons who have completed their sentences a chance. To be honest, I also think those things are the work of lords and churches that govern all over the place...... I've been here for over six months and I've seen the store manager work in stores. And the manager's business philosophy can surprise me a little, but I'm also convinced.

This matter...... it's still premature to move to execution, but it doesn't mean head to head against head. Execute after taking the appropriate time, taking the stage, carefully selecting and preparing the ex-offenders to hire. I mean, if it's the ultimate goal, I don't think there's a problem. "

... I'm going to talk to you persistently, but it's been accepted very well...

"You admitted it very well."

"Words get worse...... I'd feel even more comfortable now if I looked at my earning daughter, who is not particularly skilled, or the shopkeeper who is benevolent, without prejudice to the residents of Slam Street...... but thanks to that we all work calmly together. I know it's a case that needs attention, but this is how you can talk to me in advance, and you don't have enough repentance to deny it from your head. I guess it's because I'm still looking at what I've been working on.

Also, as I said earlier, we should have a stronger ground than we do now if we are to carry out this matter. I thought if the manager acted more aggressively to get it, it would result in a gain for the store. "

"I see."

At the same time that Mr. Callum understands how to do what can be called my aspirations, he also seems to know how to treat me. There is no loophole.

"Thank you. So what exactly do we start with?

"Why don't you buy a slave"

Slave...... Speaking of which, it was legal.

"Are you a slave... I'm going to have minimal knowledge for once, but you don't know much about it... can you be a little more specific?

He explained to me in a bad way.

Says the slaves of this country are divided into three categories: "poor slaves", “debt slaves" and “criminal slaves”.

Poor slaves are people who have sold themselves and their families in search of protection of their lives, or for the sake of their families, etc.

People whose debt slaves could not pay their debts by the due date and whose labor as slaves was secured.

And criminal slaves are criminals who have sinned and have been enslaved as punishment.

"They say that people who become poor slaves and debt slaves often have a variety of reasons, such as unfortunate accidents, and quite a few circumstances, so I wonder if it would be helpful to develop mindsets and countermeasures to replenish personnel and realize the store manager's thoughts in the future.

They also say that criminal slaves are restricted in their actions to escape and harm others by special magic, so the risk will be lower than for ex-cons "

Furthermore, he says, slaves were subjected to unfortunate accidents and helpless misfortunes, while others were enslaved as a result of continuing their self-depraved lives.

"Poverty slaves and debt slaves… they were forced to pay for“ freedom, "people who sought to" protect their lives ”. Naturally, some of them want to open up early. Our job is well paid, so I think we're going to give those people a chance."

"I see.... what should I be aware of when purchasing slaves?

"It's a minimum guarantee of clothing and housing, a ban on unfair assault, etc., but everything is met by the store manager's current management policy. As for this one, it's hardly the same as hiring talent in a guild."

"Really..."

Slave hey...

Mr. Callum asked me thinking about it.

"Do you hate slaves?

"I don't like it, more than I was familiar with it"

I knew there was really a system like that, but I didn't want to buy it myself.

But many parts of Mr. Callum's story are convincing.

It's also a profession that generally exists in this world, and I think I need to study a little more.

So I'll think about it, and I tell him,

"Well, I was wondering if I could visit the Moreton Slave Chamber, which has a shop in Gaunago. This is the slaver Master Serge told me he was safe before my sister and I took care of him here. If you ever need a slave, you'll find it easy to use it."

Speaking of Gaunago, it's a town with the Duke's mansion. Just in time to go say hello.

... or was it a suggestion to think that far?

A gaze I somehow pointed at because I felt guided.

Mr. Callum does not break his gentle smile.

... I can count on you.

I thank Mr Serge again next time.

That's what I decided.
