5 Episode Five: The Flower Selling Girl

"Flowers... Want one?

The basket held by the flower seller girl contains colorful flowers.

I guess the fact that it's tight in there doesn't mean it's selling very well.

"Heh. You're selling flowers?

I crouch in and gaze at the girl.

The girl snorts.

"So why don't we get one? How much?"

When I said that, the girl's eyes opened with surprise.

I never thought you'd buy it, that's my face.

"One copper coin...... uh. Two..."

Two copper coins.

"Oh, oh, oh, expensive... right? You can have one."

A girl talks desperately while I do.

Maybe you're nervous because I'm an adult.

"Okay. So can I get these yellow flowers? Yes, three copper coins"

"Huh? Three copper coins?

"You tried to say the first three, didn't you? Then you can have that amount."

The girl turned bright red in her face,

"Really... can I have three?

He asks.

He looks like a little animal and feels terrified.

Aren't you cute around not used to saluting?

"Fine. I don't know what to say instead, but I need you to tell me something."

"... teach? To your brother?

"To me."

When I laughed, the girl smiled just a little too.

"... yeah. Fine. What do you want...?

I receive flowers and give the girl three copies of copper coins.

And to ask a lot of questions about girls.

"I want to ask you a lot...... yeah. Can you tell me your name first?

"It's Aina..."

"Ha. You don't have to use reverence for Muli. You're making me nervous."

That's what I said and I laughed.

"... yeah"

Aina's face, which was stiff, only sums up a little.

Maybe the tension is loosening up.

"Then Aina, I'm Shiro Nida...... hmm? Does this way make you a samurai Nida? Ma, call me samurai. Nice to meet you."

I give you my right hand.

Aina stared at my hand, and then...

"Nice to meet you... Shiloh brother"

And he responded by shaking my hand.

"Well, I'm sorry to ask you something so weird... can you tell me the name of this town?

Aina looks decent.

"It's a town, huh?

"Yeah. I'm a traveler, as you can see. I just got to this town, so I don't know anything."

"It is. Hmm, this town is..."

Thanks to Aina, I was able to purchase information about this world.

First of all, the place you are now in is a town on the border of the Kingdom of Guinea, named Ninolich.

There are three types of currency, copper, silver and gold, and they can be exchanged for one silver coin for 100 copper coins and one gold coin for 100 silver coins.

You think the average monthly income of a townsman is about eight silver coins and few people have gold coins?

If one gold coin is worth a million yen, it's like carrying a bundle of bills in Japan.

That's not the case with people carrying gold coins, is it?

After all, this is a market, and what a place for anyone to even notify the bureau - and that's where even my kid Aina can do business.

"Hmm. I see. Well, then, can I even get the store out if I get it to that office?

"... yeah. I think I can get it out."

"Oh well. I heard good things about that."

That means you can do business in different worlds.

If you bring Japanese stuff over here and sell it, you might be able to have fun and make some money.

Let me ask you more.

But before that...

"Aina, can you sell me more flowers?

"... Huh?

"Right, well, can I have about ten more?

……

Aina looks terribly surprised.

My mouth is pounding.

"Shiloh brother...... how about that?

"Are you kidding me? You miss having just one bottle to decorate your room, don't you?

If you died - you liked flowers.

That's why I wanted to offer flowers to the Buddha.

I'd rather have flowers from different worlds bought from Eina than the ones I sell at my neighborhood florist - I feel happy too.

"... ah"

I get ten flowers from the basket.

It's three copper coins a bottle, so it's 30 copper coins at best.

"Yes. Thirty copper coins"

Give Aina some copper coins.

"Oh, so much money..."

Moments, Aina twitches and tears.

I guess the weight of 33 copper coins (3300 yen) is different from mine for Eina, who works since she was a little girl.

"Thanks...... Shiloh brother"

"That's okay. Thanks for the beautiful flowers."

"... eheh. I'm glad you picked up the flowers... Eina"

Aina smiles small as she cries.

"Oh, yeah. Can you tell me more about the location of the bureau or the process of opening a store in this market?

Aina wipes away the mess and tears and chuckles.

"Fine."

"Thanks. So can you just tell me where the bureau is?

"Aina will take you. Over here."

"Oh, seriously?

I'm surprised you didn't expect me to show you to the bureau.

"Here, here."

Aina jumped and asked, and I followed that little shadow.
