Chapter 51
Story 51I, who completely acted like I wanted the name of “Pervert” in the town of Floura, headed towards the Merchants Guild in the morning.
Somehow, because I was wearing panties and wandering through the town back to the inn yesterday, it seems like there are rumors in various places.
I enthusiastically greeted the people who were startled when they saw my face.
“Good morning!”
“G,good, morning…”
There’s nothing to fear about a lively, good pervert, right?
If I’m going to start a company, standing out is worth it.
I went through all that trouble, so lets use the fact that people remember my face as advertis.e.m.e.nt for the company.
You can’t live without thinking about the positive side of things.
By the way, the panties are resting deep within my item bag.
Last night, when I returned to the inn and told Velsa and Ayl that I was going to start a company, they asked what kind of company.
“Cleaning and extermination.”
And, when I explained like so,
“ “ ah ~ Ah!” “
and the two of them understood.
Rather, I don’t think I can do any other work.
My end-goal is different, but I haven’t told them yet.
“And, which of is going to be the Vice-President?”
“Eh?”
“I’ll be a researcher, so won’t the Vice-President be Ayl?”
“I see.”
like that, the two are both interested in entering the company.
I actually want the help, but,
“Is that fine? Don’t you each have something you want to do?”
I asked.
“I can do it even if I enter Naoki’s company, right? And actually, being near Naoki seems like
it will make me stronger.”
“I as well, if I’m by myself it seems like I’ll end up gnawing on moldy bread again, so becoming a company employee is a good situation.”
“Then, I’ll be counting on you.”
After that we negotiated the salaries; the base pay is one gold coin per month, and then there’s commission.
From there it’s registering at the Merchants Guild and planning finding work and employees.
Going into town, I asked for the location of the Merchants Guild from the person who was surprised by me and he quickly told me.
While waiting in line at the Merchants Guild, a fat merchant told me that there were many branches of the Merchants Guild throughout the world.
I have G.o.d and Evil G.o.d backing me, so it doesn’t matter where I go for now.
When I conveyed that I want to start a new company to the Guild personnel, I was handed some papers.
“On this form, write ‘What Kind of Business,’ ‘Number of Employees,’ ‘Store Location, or otherwise Form of Business,’ and come with a guarantor. Your guarantor can be anyone who’s a merchant in Floura,”
is what I was told.
In addition, she said I need 2 silver coins to apply.
I also want to request a tailor’s to make the coverall uniforms for the employees so the expenses are adding up, but there are 500 gold coins in the item bag so there are absolutely no problems.
“Is it fine if I starting recruitment of employees ahead of time?”
The Guild personnel’s Onee-san said they didn’t mind when I asked, and when I presented the flyer
flyer with the employee recruitment written on it,
“Cleaning and pest extermination?”
“Yes, well, we’ll also do monster extermination.”
“Isn’t that an adventurer’s job?”
“It’s not subjugation but extermination. The main work is exterminating weak monsters that appear in houses and under ground pa.s.sages.”
“Haa, I see… understood.”
Even though she was suspicious, she took it.
Now then, if you’re talking about merchants I know in Floura, there’s only that place.
“Oh, the pharmacist from yesterday, welcome. Amanda has completely healed since then. Who would you like today?”
Right when the clerk from yesterday’s brothel was about to enter the store, I called out to him.
“Today I have something a little of topic to talk about, but…”
I talked about starting a cleaning and pest extermination business and asked if he couldn’t become my guarantor.
“Yes, well… it’s fine, but aren’t you a pharmacist?”
“Pharmaceuticals is my side job.”
“Side job… isn’t you side job lucrative?”
“I wonder”
“By the way, was that recovery potion self made?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Then if it’s fine with you, if you give us a few, we’ll be your guarantor as long as you want.”
In an instant, the clerk had the eyes of a merchant.
“That’s fine, but … how many do you need?”
“2, 3 bottles…”
“Then I’ll leave 5 bottles.”
“E-!? Is that alright?”
“Yeah; as expected, recovery potions are expensive, aren’t they?”
“They certainly are.”
Come to think of it, I make it myself so I don’t go to pharmacies, but at Elf’s Pharmacy, the advanced recovery potions have an expensive image.
Although it’s already become zombie extermination poison to me.
Is it
/>Is it bad to leave 5 bottles?
“Well, applying for a pharmacy is troublesome. If you keep an eye on the timing to sell recovery potions, you might be able to sell it for more at the Adventurers Guild.”
“I see; I’ve learned something good.”
“Anyway, so you do pest exterminations?”
“Yes, cleaning and pest extermination.”
“By exterminations you mean…?”
“Masmascarl and bagroaches and the like appear in houses, right? We completely exterminate those, well, it’s stuff like what beginner adventurers do. We do it for cheaper than an adventurer; it’s kind of like that.”
“I see, got it. He-y! I’m going out for a bit~!”
“O-kay!”
Taking the brothel’s clerk with me, I returned to the Merchants Guild.
The clerk wrote the name Serasera in the column for the guarantor, said, “Good luck,” and immediately returned to the brothel.
After that, the Merchant Guild’s Onee-san gave me another explanation.
“This is the Merchant Certification.”
Onee-san handed a piece of paper to me.
“If you have this, you can do business anywhere on the continent of Virginia.”
What a useful piece of paper.
“Your form of business is deployment, but where would your office, or your headquarters, be located?”
Because there aren’t any cellphones, it’s necessary for there to be a place to go report to when you’re done with your job.
She’s asking where that place you go to report is.
“I have a ship. Right now it’s being repaired at the shipyard, but during that time, I’m staying at an inn.”
“Understood. What do you do with the tools you use for business?”
“This ite … uh, we changed the cabin of thecabin of the ship into a storehouse.”
“I see.”
That was dangerous! The item bag was definitely an artifact grade tool so I shouldn’t show many people; Ayl said that before.
“You currently have three people as employees, so you mean to increase them from now on, correct?”
“Yes.”
“This is a business without many people in the industry, so good luck.”
“Thank you very much!”
The annual fee for the Merchants Guild is 5 gold coins, so when I paid 2 years’ worth for now, the Onee-san was startled.
I put away the Merchant Certification in the item bag, and headed to the shipyard where Ayl and Velsa are.
The two of them went to see how the progress on the repairs are.
I joined the two.
When we talked with a worker at the shipyard, he said, “Looks like it’ll take about 3 weeks.”
“Since we’ll be moving by ship, we’ll need sailors.”
“If we’re going on a long journey, then we’ll need cooks.”
“If it’s possible, I’d also like to make the uniforms. It’d be helpful if there was someone who was good at sewing, naa.”
Anyway, we need workers fast.
I had already handed over the employee recruitment poster to the Merchant Guild to post up.
Making leaflets out of recycled paper-like paper, we also distributed them to the people in town.
Ayl and Velsa were also cooperative, and I felt like the two of them were surprisingly all for it.
When I thanked them,
“Of course, we’re getting a salary, na.”
“Money won’t betray you, after all. It’s money! Money!”
and their eyes turned into gold coins.
They might just be misers.
