CH 215

After leaving the adventurers’ guild, I went to the commercial guild to inquire with them about hiring some employees for my shop. The commercial guild was diagonally across the adventurers’ guild so I left my wagon at the stable in the adventurers’ guild and just walked to the commercial guild. I had sent a letter to Volga-san beforehand so right now I just needed to talk about the details of the matter with him. 

When I entered the building, Volga-san, who was attending the reception desk, raised his hand to greet me. He then took me into a reception room further inside the building. 

I sipped some tea and after waiting for a while, Volga-san returned with two people in tow. 

“Chatra,〇〇××△、△△××!”

“Maya,〇△××、〇〇!!”

I assumed these people were introducing themselves to me but all I could catch was their name. The tiger beastman that looked young and energetic was Chatra while the blue haired young woman with glasses was Maya. 

“Volga-san, I’m sorry but can we communicate in writing?”

“Ah…”

Volga-san nodded and then he started translating what they had said to me in writing. It turned out the two of them had just turned 16. Which meant they had only reached adulthood not too long ago. They were apprentices at the commercial guild, training to become a merchant and when they heard that I was looking for employees, they immediately applied for the job. 

I told them that I would be paying 2 gold coins a month on the 30th day and they would get one day off every week (7 days). They looked surprised upon hearing my offer and practically exclaimed.

“Not only do we get a day off, but we also get that much money in a month?!”

The two of them could do basic math and understood the general knowledge of the commodity merchants often sold. Maya was good at writing and negotiation while Chatra was good at product processing like maintaining products or even creating certain products.

It seemed the two of them had great potential. Training them would surely be worthwhile. And since the commercial guild would serve as the guarantor, I promptly decided to hire them right here and there. 

I gave them two gold coins in advance for their salary and asked them to come to the store with me.

Finally, finally we can get some rest. 

After loading the stuff I had ordered from the commercial guild into my wagon, I headed back home.

“Hm? What is that?”

“It’s a girl!”

Chatra, who had keen eyes, shouted. It turned out, there was a girl laying on the ground in front of my shop. Confused, I immediately stopped the wagon and rushed toward the girl.
