It's Sudden, But I'm Coming To Another World! I Wish To Live With Peace

Chapter 17: For Now, I'm In A Dreadful State - 1

Illias woke up to the morning sunlight coming through the window.

It's morning, it's time he woke up.

He moved his body upwards, this was a familiar sight from his room.

However, unlike usual, he was not feeling well.

Thinking about the cause, he recalled the events of yesterday.

He was worried about her, planning to look for her, but he might pass her while searching outside, so, he decided to continue waiting until he returned home.

In the end, the young man returned almost at sunset.

Then, the young man took him to 'Dog's Bone'.

He met with waitresses, saw the bustle of the shop, ate good food and drank alcohol.

And, he remembered what kind of talk he had with her.

…. That was so much fun.

Everyone in Lord Ragdo's corps was very kind, back when he had a day off, he had never done any activities with them.

Despite being invited, Illias always kept his distance.

He feared it would be a distraction for them if they were close to each other outside of work.

But not everything is like that.

Even though he knew there were people who didn't like him.

But there must be people who acknowledge and respect him.

What the young man said to him, his words appeared again in his mind.

He couldn't help but smile.

"After that…"

The memories from then onward blurred. He doesn't remember how he got home.

He rarely went out drinking even though it was legal for him. So he was excited because he had not been drinking alcohol for a long time….

In the end, he drank until he lost consciousness….

『Aaaa, What have I done!』

“Tadi night.. Am I drunk?”

If so, he's the one holding me…

His eyes were awakened by a feeling of shock.

He placed his right hand on his face and exhaled deeply.

For now, let's get up.

He stood up, went down to the first floor and washed his face.

Then, go back to her room, and change into work clothes.

There is no time to make breakfast. He decided to buy fruit at the market later.

Oh, yeah, he needs to apologize to her. No, not to apologize but to say thank you.

Arriving in front of his room, Illias tapped on him slowly.

There's no answer. Could he still be sleeping?

By the way, the first meeting with him was when he woke her from sleep.

"Hehe, I'm sure he's sleeping well."

Recalling the past, he could not help but smile.

But he has to leave soon. He wanted to talk about dinner today because he might not have the chance to meet her during the day.

He felt regretful but had no choice but to wake him up.

Then, he opened the door, and raised his voice.

"Are you awake? It's about yesterday.”.

He didn't see her anywhere.

What was left in the window was the clothes he had worn yesterday. It's washed and still wet.

When did he wake up? Does he sleep well until he doesn't feel like someone is washing clothes at home?

"….huft"

Illias.

◇

Ugh, I don't care if someone says that I look disrespectful, But!

This muscle pain, you know, is terrible!

Thanks to that, I was able to get up before sunrise.

I didn't want to sleep again after that, so I decided to wash my clothes, then went out.

Yawns. Looks like I'd better take a nap around one o'clock.

While walking to 'Dog's Bone', the Sun began to rise.

I wonder if Gozz is awake, if he wakes up I'll ask him to give me some leftovers.

At the same time I arrived at the store, I saw a face I knew.

That's Grandpa Kara's wife.

"Oh? Son, you're coming so early."

"Good morning. You too."

“I always get up early and go to the market, to buy cheap stuff!”

He suddenly did a victory pose.

It's nice to be that energetic. Can you give me some of that energy?

“I want to start organizing and preparing the ingredients, What are you going to do Nak?”

“Ah, I want to check the number of customers and sales yesterday, And talk to Gozz about everyone's salary and arrange finance.”

“Oh, if it's just that, I can do it too. Even though I look like this, I'm actually good at organizing things.”

Her husband's salary was also well managed.

I was wondering how much pocket money Grandpa Kara got.

“Alright, after I hear the progress, I will be back.”

"There's a little leftover from yesterday, just eat first."

I think it would be rude if I refused.

"Well, thank you for your kind offer."

“But really, Salt is really awesome. Just by using a little for most dishes, the taste and aroma of food becomes more palatable.”

“Actually salt can be used not only for cooking but for seasoning as well, if we use it the range of use will be wider. But, for that, we have to lower the price of salt first.”

"Can you do that, son?"

"I'm not sure, but I'll do my best to make it happen."

“Then I will wait for the good news. Oh, and for that, feel free to ask for my help.”

We also entered a tavern.

“Good morning, Mrs Domitorkofkon! Today, you look beautiful too!”

Gozz greeted with respect.

Hmm, this person is the manager, yes…

While eating, Gozz tells about sales and expenses.

And when we talked about what to do from now on, we asked Grandpa Kara's wife to hear it too.

With this, there seems to be no problem in managing money.

The number of employees is increasing rapidly, and once the balance tends to remain positive.

If there is a problem, it is the amount of food brought that needs to be added, but it seems like a cart is set up.

For now, it seems like nothing can be done.

“Next we need to improve the recipes for women and lunch, so that the customer base and customer rate will increase. If you have something you can think of, write it down on a piece of paper and bring it next time.”

"You ... do you still want to improve it?"

"What did you say? Sure was! don't worry I didn't raise it like crazy."

"Basic Devil.."

"Oh right, son, I have to give you your payment."

“The number of employees is increasing and I'm sure you need it more than I do now. It's okay, just pay me a little for the salt. ”

Anyway, I can eat salty food here.

That alone was enough for the work I did the past few days.

“That's right.. Then, come whenever you want to eat. When not crowded, I'll make it for you for free."

"Well, then I'll come when it's crowded."

"Hi! Don't give me more trouble!”

Still, I'm glad, he said that he owes me so much.

After all, I have a Himo-Life now. I need to get a permanent job soon.

I got paid salt, a basket payment, and a two-day salary. The money I have is increasing.

Even so, the amount of food I bought and the dinner I paid for yesterday, in the end, my money didn't add up much.

Lastly, this money must be returned to Illias. I also have to think about collecting my own money.

“And my own money collecting trip started.”

“Oh, be careful..no, I mean if you have trouble with money, why don't you take what I want to give you!”.

My goal is Mr. Ban's place, and if it's about money, of course relying on traders is the standard strategy.

Although I have visited three days in a row, Mr. Ban still greeted me with a smile.

“‘Dog’s Bone’, I just visited that place. What am I supposed to say, huh? , that was the incredible transformation you were doing there."

“You've visited? I just talked to you yesterday.”

“Of course, the most credible information is what you see yourself directly. However, I was a little surprised by the employees.”.

Doesn't it? After all, they were the wives of famous knights. Anyone who knows will be surprised.

They enthusiastically want to live agile for a long time, can even get pocket money as well.

“Thanks to them, I lost my job. I'm now unemployed, so maybe I should do something else.”

“Is this about unexplored land exploration? What about the destination?”

“Ya... However, I want to ask this to be a secret.”

And I opened a copy of Dokora's map on the table.

"It's…"

“This is a copy of the head map of the bandit alliance, which was destroyed a few days ago. They set up bases in the mountains and forests to avoid the activities of the knights. And I have also prepared information around him as well. ”

“I'm impressed you hold something like this. But, this is amazing. To be active in such an area.. Knights in our country must have difficulty.”.

“Today or tomorrow, an investigation into each site will be conducted, and stolen goods will be collected, Caves and other lands not used as bases should be untouched. So, I want to investigate this area.”

“Then, all that is left is to know the schedule of their investigation. Still, this reminds me of when I saw the treasure map!”

"The treasure map? Mr Ban, are you a former adventurer?

“Yes, I'm fine now that I chose merchant talent over adventurer, but I used to be naughty, you know? back then I was even very messy.”

Hmm, why do the people I meet always have high specs?

I feel a great affinity with Gozz and Saira, but who knows maybe they have special skills or something?

Oh yes, Gozz's assessment of alcohol was highly appreciated by Mr. Ban.

And unexpectedly Saira may have talent as a clothing store owner.

“But aren't you a little careless now? Don't you think I could just take this important info and run away?"

“If that happens, I will think about it then. So, if you are indeed such a person, I just have to subdue it right?.”

“Hahaha, that's scary. Well, let me be a good collaborator for you."

“It was just to investigate. But, I have no special skills and no confidence in my physical strength…."

"So yeah, you need someone who can be your bodyguard."

“Dan, funds to rent it too..”.

Of course there will be a cost of personnel, food, horses, or others. And I don't have that kind of money.

It doesn't matter if there are knights like Grandpa Kara, but I can't ask her to work many times for free.

Ah, wait.

“How about recruiting interested volunteers like Mr Ban?”

“I think it's possible to split the cost into 50% and it's not a bad idea. However, it is possible that information will leak to other business rivals when recruiting.”

True, some people will try to do something bad considering the advantages.

For this plan to work, it is necessary to create a hierarchical relationship first.

“I can arrange it if only one or two trusted adventurers. Let's leave it as a small-scale team for now, and see what happens next.”

“Ya, Meanwhile, I'll think about the cost.”

"Why don't you let me put him off first?"

“If I get too helped, it can't be called a cooperative relationship anymore.”

I won't end it after giving you an idea.

After getting the resources, Mr. Ban will move around.

From the moment of the investigation, if he were to piggyback on me, I would look useless.

This time, I somehow had to arrange it myself.

"But the arrangement and salary of the first adventurer, I will probably hand it to you..."

"Regarding that, I will give it as a gift, and thank you for the future increase in salt supply."

The best result of this plan is to achieve the first resource discovery.

If the outlook is good, I can choose a debt option.

If done well, I can even convince the country.

In this case, it is now necessary to learn as much geographical information as possible and sharpen my sense of smell.

After that, I asked Mr. Ban to tell me about the mine used today, but in the end I asked him all the details he knew.

◇

“Illias. Did you get any replies to the party invitations and ceremonies from that collaborator?"

Illias showed her stiff face in front of Lord Ragdo.

Speaking of which, He didn't have the chance to talk to her because there were so many things, he only had a short time to spend together.

“Not yet, huh? Wasn't yesterday your day off?”

“I'm really sorry.. Actually, He left from the night before yesterday, and yesterday came back at night..”.

"Don't tell me you're waiting for him all day?"

"Y, yeah."

Mr. Ragdo sighed.

Just wasting his day off, that's not good.

“Today, you can go home early.”

“T, Tapi”

“Ah, correct. Let's change the way I say it. Today, Lady Ratzel's job is to inform collaborators of the invitation and get her approval. You don't have much time, do your best!”

"Y, Yeah!"

Immediately after leaving me, Illias, who came out and ran away, Lord Ragdo laughed softly.

The load on his shoulders seemed lighter than yesterday the day after tomorrow. What happened in a short time?

Lord Ragdo regarded Illias as a daughter.

Seeing his good changes, Lord Ragdo thanked the young man whom he had not seen yet.

“King... What will you do?”

I told the king about the book.

After taking a hard look, the King left the book in the care of Lord Ragdo.

Searching for the origin of the book, has been attempted, but there is no result.

The king and I are looking forward to meeting the young man.

Hope you have a good relationship…
