76 Lesson 10: Redemption of the Colt ①

"Welcome. Is this product?

This is a magic tool that glows when you press this button. It is useful to wear it on clothes and gear with dungeons, etc.

Huh, me? My name is Colt and I will be working here for the next month.

Yes, ah, the store owner has me focusing on making magic fixtures in the back.

Yes, I think we'll have a little more stock. "

"Is that the master's brother?

"Oh, I've been letting you work here since yesterday"

Right now, we were hiding in the shadows and watching his famous millionaire.

"What will the Fermer Chamber of Commerce do?

"Hmm? I'll leave that to him in a month."

"Really...... nevertheless, they just call you the best merchant in the empire after all. Good customer service."

"You are today. He was really useless yesterday."

"Were you?

That's surprising. I can't imagine from that feeling.

"Oh, it looks like you haven't served a customer in a long time. But I took it back from the last one, and it was like that."

"Hehe, that sounds like fun"

"Oh! You think so, too? Sounds like fun."

SIDE: Colt

Since when have you worked so much......

Remember when I was a kid, I served customers with the help of my parents ~.

Back then I enjoyed working.

I have no arms as a craftsman like my brother, but I just didn't feel like losing to anyone for customer service.

At that time, I can't believe I inherited...

So I worried about what my brother should do when he got into a fight with his father and left the house.

Because I wasn't sure I was going to run the store, and I thought I was going to live a lifetime of customer service like this.

I just thought I'd do my best when I decided to take over.

I don't want to crush this store because of me.

And I wanted to make this store bigger anyway.

I've been working for decades on my own.

And I noticed a mundane moment.

Wouldn't this store crumble if I was already playing?

'Cause you don't have my enemies in this country, do you?

Yes, the devil gave it to me.

For a long time, my only entertainment was alcohol.

If I were you right now, I'd be drinking all day.

As soon as the idea came to mind, I was using my financial resources to collect and drink fine liquor from around the world.

I don't care about my job anymore.

So I was really in a hurry then when it was reported that my store started to run poorly.

I no longer had the power to do business with me then, and I just didn't know what to do with my drinking.

So I blamed my men for making a real escape.

Now that I think about it, it's something that was really giving weird orders...

And then I realized again that I was really stupid when I worked at my brother's store.

My brother was trying to keep it this way, even though he was making enough sales to make the store bigger soon.

Yesterday, I was like, "Why don't you make it big? Wouldn't that be more profitable! When I hear."

"This store... it's a memory of my dead wife. So I will never renovate it. Besides, I'm too good for the situation. Trouble making any more money."

And they said, I felt something.

Right... I couldn't do this.

Making a store bigger is a way to make money.

And it wasn't all about making the store bigger.

The only purpose I had was to make the store bigger.

So when I found out I'd built a store all over the empire and become the most millionaire in this country, in this world, and I'd never get any bigger, my motivation was gone.

And I noticed yesterday and today.

I'm not rich enough.

It suits me better to work sweating.

True, you thank your brother.

"Well, I'm done for the day."

"Good luck"

Elsie, who is my brother's slave, has spoken to me.

This girl...

"Ugh, yeah, good job"

"You're a boulder. That customer service will be a study."

"Well... that's good"

"What's wrong with you? You're not feeling well until just now, are you?

"Oh, oh, I'm fine. Because I'm just a little tired."

In a hurry, delude.

"Really? Please go to bed early today. Then let's go to Mr. Holland."

I feel like I'm being stabbed in the heart with a knife just to be worried.

This girl noticed... No, she doesn't seem to know...

I've done some really stupid things...

"Mr. Holland, today's business is closed"

"Tired. You sold a lot today."

"Yes. Sold a lot"

"How was Colt?

"I had a great day."

"That was good. It seemed fun to watch. Huh?"

"Yes. It seemed like a lot of fun"

With that said, who's the boy next to my brother?

You've seen it somewhere...

"Brother, what about the child?

"My apprentice."

Apprentice to my brother?

"Nice to meet you, I'm Leons Forster."

"Ha!? Leons Forster? but my brother's apprentice?

That's right!

If you think you've seen it, it's when you attended a party a year ago hosted by the Emperor.

I remember protecting the princess from a great number of enemies.

"Oh. I thought you were here six months ago. Make me your apprentice."

"Yeah, 'cause it's that Leons-sama, isn't it? rumored to be at the heart of the next faction in the noble world"

"Heh ~ Really?

"I've never heard of it either. Please don't do that. Call me Leo. No respects, of course."

"Wow, okay... Could it be that this store suddenly grew in sales..."

"Yes, thanks to this guy"

"Was it - you thought it was strange for my brother - because for a long time, my brother didn't even know the word business"

Convinced. Convinced.

"Ugh, uuch!

"Ha. I knew you two were brothers."

"You're close."

A Month Later

"Well, today's business is over."

Drop off the last customer and start tightening the door.

"Good luck"

"Elsie is tired too. Brother, it's over!"

I'll report it to my brother when I'm done closing the door.

"Tired."

"Good luck"

There was also Leo in the workshop.

"Good day to both of you"

These days, Leo also makes store products.

"It's been a month since you've been here. Though the appearance changed a lot. No, should I say it's back to normal?

"Yeah, you are"

I affirmed looking at my belly.

I was still fat but well thin in the past month.

"So, what are you going to do now?

"Yeah, I'll stay in this shop."

"Are you good with the store? Well, without your shop, it's time for the Empire to fall into a serious magic shortage?

Now there is a lack of magic equipment in the Empire due to the loss of my shop.

It's about a month, so not that far, but if it goes on any further, it'll be a big deal......

"I know. But I'm not going back to that store. I found the next owner."

"Well, well. So, who's that?

My brother asked me while I was nibbling.

Hey, do some more amazing acting!

You two will find out.

I want to...

It's Elsie.

"Huh?"

Elsie seems to have been properly surprised.

Come on, it's time to implement the redemption plan I've prepared over the past month.
