* Kaorus POV:
After escape from Brancott Kingdom, I keep walking for several days to the neighboring country.
Fortunately, a nice and kind rchant picked up and is I were saved.
Actually Im 15 year old but my body is kinda small, it can be seen considerably below, even so I were saved at such tis.
Hmm, Should I pad in the wedding ti?
But that gatekeeper is really a nice person.
To be honest, I have enough water and food in the item box, but since he was worrying about , I received it silently.
Soday I will thank him if I have the chance.
The rchant who gave a ride on the carriage seems to have a shop in Gurua Kindgom.
And Im not forgetting my original intention, to collect information. Who know if I sotis need to beco a rchant yourself in the future.Yeah, and I have a nice rchant right here.
However, it seems that his son who is in charge of shop, told him to stop spreading new about his shop because its risky.
So boring, alright Im going to sit next to the rchant at the driver seat instead of the cargo loading plaform.
If Im going to live in the Balmoa Kingdom and the Gurua Kingdom from now on, the informations from this rchant who seem to be residents of the royal city should be useful.
For now, Im thinking about settling in Gurua kingdom. Butfirst of all I need will have information gathering, information gathering direct from the rchant himself
(T.N: I dont have the sales knowledge, if you spot any mistake please tell , words have many aning and I may mistook what Author wants to say)
Ho, so did that store drop sales? (rchant)
Yes, it was calledHalf-price at the end of weekdays and Holiday bargain
They can profit even if they sell at half price the price is calculated (Kaoru)
I see (rchant)
So, we tried to make a significant discount sale just before closing and or when we want to take care of unsold goods.
Everyone started to wait (line-up) without buying even before discounting ti (Kaoru)
Then (rchant)
We will do so service for that long-line custors, ordinary custors cant sit down and they will wander elsewhere for killing ti sowhere before the half-priced sales (Kaoru)
We need an eye-catching item, spreading? Tying? (rchant)
Closing custors and narrowing down the target audience?
No, if so then we only get so custors (Kaoru)
Just what was happened, this supposed to be an information gathering!!

rchants POV
That was an interesting girl.
I had left the store managent to my son and only running peddler as a hobby.
I picked up a little girl a few days ago on the way returning ho in Gurua Kingdom.
A girl walking slowly without having luggage, aged about 11 to 12 years old.
It seems that she was heading to the Kingdom, but where did such light-dressed girl ca from?
I also have a daughter, I couldnt leave her alone.
Although there was so space in the loading platform, she ca to the driver seats as she was bored and asked a lot about the kingdom.
It seems that she is looking for a job in the Kingdom.
Before I knew it, the talk beca business, the story about the shop that she knew. She is telling thats The story she heard from people
Whats a surprise.
Why does she know so many story?
How can soone talk about such a story so a girl in a rural town can hear about it.
The rchant cant speak the details of the job so easily.
Moreover, there are many parts that even I, an expericend rchant dont understand but she understands the circumstances and cause properly, she also adds her own consideration, and thats also a sharp opinion!
Until now, I didnt think much about discounting.
There are items with expenses that align with the sales floor, and theres a proper profit rate.
Theres also trust in each of the manufacturer, the seller, and the buyer.
I has always sold goods at a price suitable for that product.
Thats not too expensive nor too cheap to avoid disturb the market
However, the story about the half-price and discounting this girl talking about was really interesting.
Sotis what she talks corrects my own beliefs, it was really interesting.
The girl keeps saying I heard that there was such a thing, but she is clearly familiar with the situation and she is also adding her own ideas when talking.
This girl will beco an amazing person in future.
If she is looking for work, it should be no problem to hire her in our shop.
If she asks the na of our shop, I will be glad to accept her.
Okay, lets do that!
***
We arrived at the gate of the Kingdom.
Just in a few minutes and we will be done with gate checking point. Alright, lets do it.
Kaoru, if its okay, are you willing to work at my shop?
I can provide you a living place, too.
So you dont have to worry about place to stay (rchant)
After thinking for a while, the girl smiled and answered.
No, its fine, I will search for it myself (Kaoru)
Huh?
Ah, I havent told the na of our shop yet, we are Abiri Tranding Companyand Im the owner of that company, Johann Abiri. Are you surprised ?
I tell her so with confidence and smile.
Oh, is that so.
Since I am a new to this Kingdom, I had been rude back there.
Thank you for picking up. Its a pleasure to talk with you. I will repay this kindness soday.
Well then, till we et again! (Kaoru)
The little girl gets off the carriage that stopped at the end of the checking row, walks away after giving thanks.
Johann Abili, Abiri trading company chairman is disappointedly watching the girl walks away.
Well, we are Abiri Tranding Company It was said that we are going to enter the top 3 in the kingdom.
We are famous even in neighboring countries.
There are many people who wish to work at our place, Abiri Trading Company
For those who ca out from the countryside , they should love to work at Abiri Trading Company (Johann)
Johanns voice gradually beca weak, and silent.

* Kaorus POV:
(That rchant looks like a nice person.
But if I accept living in a small shop I will busy with various chores.
And maybe, I will not have any free ti like working until late at night and open the shop first ti in the morning.
I dont know whether there will be any holiday
Im sorry, but I will search for a job with more free ti.
Now I have to find soone who can shelter or I will make my own stand ) (Kaoru)
* Kingdom Gurua Working Center
Well, this is no good
I keeps searching for job with suitable recruitnts.
It has been a long ti since I started to investigate.
I went to the reception in order to apply about twice, but rejected as underage is no good
Even though it wasnt any strange job
When Im kind of feeling down, a man who was doing office work in the back addressed the receptionist.
Hey, Aria, what about that child? Can she work at Barudo-sans ? (Male receptionist)
Oh, thats right (Aria)
The receptionist lady heard that, looking at Kaoru for a while.
Can you do housework like cleaning and cooking? (Aria)
My parents had been all working, so I must took care of my siblings and housework since I was a junior high school student.
Yes, my mother was working, so I am good at housework and take care of children! (Kaoru)
Oh, maybe you can do it working similar to a live-in helper, how about that? (Aria)
According to the explanation of the reception lady, it seems that a small workshop is looking for a living assistant. There are totally 5 people including the workshop owner.
Everyone is never bad persons, but other assistant find it hard to stay.
Work, als care and cleaning, washing, and other chores.
Everybody except the workshop owner are lazy and never do anything beside work, they are all eat als at the workshop.
It would be troubleso to return ho, make al, eat al and return to the workshop.
It wont be so busy and I properly clean everyday, I could make free ti.
Even if I need to prepare als, it doesnt matter if I cant go out during the weekday.
Theres also a holiday.Everyone seems go eating out sothing appropriate on that day.
Well, since there was also a period when there was no assistant that workshop was a ss, can I clean that much?
Eh, what is it?Its an ideal job, for !
***
I ca with an introduction from the Working Center, my na is Kaoru (Kaoru)
Oh, you dont have to be so tense like that. Please do it comfortably (Barudo)
The place that I will be working is Maiyaru workshop
When I say my introdution, the workshop owner , Barudo-san said that with a smile.Good, I was saved.
In the anti, lets stay for a couple of days, it will be a trial period, the introduction fee isnt high with other helper quit soon each ti (Barudo)
Barudo says so and smiles bitterly.
Well, for the ti being, why dont you introduce yourself to everyone?
If you think you cant do it, please dont keep it yourself and tell sooner well, Im kind of used to it, I dont really mind (Barudo)
I understand (Kaoru)
Isnt he kind of negative ?
And I was guided to a laboratory-like place rather than a workshop, a work room
The mont he opens the door.
Muu (Kaoru)
Odor.
Man sweat and body odor, chemical odor.Sothing slls like rotten.Is the corpse hidden sowhere?
And there are 4 n.
Two of them are lying on the floor.
One middle age, two young n, one boy.Well, even though he is a boy, he is an adult here.
Get up, Carlos, Alban, Theres a new help candidate! (Barudo)
Both of them jumped up from their place.
Thank you! (Carlos, Alban)
No, its still only atrial period!
Barudo stabbed a nail.
From the top, Carlos-san is 32 years old, Acil-san is 21 years old, Alban-san is 19, Brian-san is 16 years old.
Everyone seems to be doing their best to beco a technician.
According to Barudos explanation, this isnt just a workshop that makes money by making products and selling it.
They make money, developing a new technology by doing various research, and creating a new product that just like alaboratory
However, since there is no financial assistance from anywhere, they also make ordinary products for research expenses and living expenses earnings.
As their aim is certain, make normal product good for earning and living.
The research main project is money consu.
Because those products in the research field arent suitable for business etc.
And, this isnt a businessn but a group of researchers, so there is no concept like working ti.
Sotis they dont wash their body for days,forget al and faint.
They stay in the lab for days.they often speak about the content of the research, but they dont know much when it cos to general public
(Ah, I need to take care of 5 children) (Kaoru)
Kaoru accurately grasped the situation.
After each person introdute and brief explanation, its question ti.
Well, can you clean and cook? (Barudo)
Cleaning is a my force, I have been taken care of my family housework. And I also good at cooking, Ive been cooking al for my family from a long ti ago.
Also the als I made at the dining hall where I worked are adopted as official nus (Kaoru)
Huh, Everyone eyes have full of expectation.
Well, there are things I want you to be careful about when doing cleaning here (Barudo)
Ah I know.
Even if it seems like its ssy but the location is properly decided, I will not move it without permission.
Or even if it looks like paper scraps, it may be an important mo, so dont discard it arbitrarily.
Or drugs are dangerous so dont try to sll it, dont touch it, dont mix it, dont throw it away?
(Kaoru)
Huh? (4 n)
Oh, did you work in sa kind of place before? (Barudo)
No, I never did it before (Kaoru)
(5 n)
Oh, about that, we are loose at ti If we are keen on research, we may forget the al ti (Barudo)
Well, arent n all like that? (Kaoru)
4 n are watching Kaoru with glittering eyes filled with expectations.
The expression of Barudo is also good.
Maybe Kaoru will settle in
