These days, the Haslot market has one new thing.
It was a large green building built on the central street of Heslot.
That expensive green dye was spread across a large building.
A small four-story building that was originally renovated from an old building on its site boasted a luxurious appearance that did not match the market a little.
So, among the people who used the market, there was a lot of talk about the purpose of the building.
So said the building would be a luxury pub, others said it would be a luxury inn.
What the opinions had in common was that they all expected it to be a place selling very expensive items.
And today, finally, a big sign hung on the building.
People who were busy walking down the street would slow down while looking at the signboard one by one.
The signboards written in handwriting as luxurious as the exterior of the building seed to suit the nobles’ district, Sedakyuna Street.
"A clothing store?"
Hanson, who owns a large fruit shop nearby, muttered while looking up at the shiny sign.
"Isn’t the wrong dressing room?"
Robert, who runs a bread shop next to Hanson’s shop, ca up and said.
"Okay. If it’s a dressing room, it’s a dressing room, I’ve never heard of a clothing store again."
"What do I know."
Robert grunted, disliked by the shimry buildings towering among the shabby buildings.
"By the way, are you going to use all that big building as a dressing room?"
Margaret, a crockery shop right next to the clothing store building, asked as he joined the n’s conversation.
"I will make this big dressing room in Sedakyuna. Soone built-in in Heslot market?."
Others agreed with Hanson’s words.
But even so, they couldn’t take their eyes off the dark green building.
It was then. The door of a closed clothing store opened and a young woman greeted the rchants with a smiling face.
"Hello!"
She wasn’t overly decorated, but she was a woman with an appearance that made people who see it invisible and couldn’t take eyes off her eyes.
"I am Violet, the manager of the ’Gallahan Clothing Store’! I’ll be happy in the future!"
Originally she is a middle manager of the textile departnt at the top of Lombardy, she was now scouted by Clerivan and transferred to the group.
Dealing with all sorts of textile dealers from all over the empire, dealing with her stubbornness was as familiar as breathing.
At Violet’s fresh greeting, the rchants nodded and shouted.
And Felicia, the hostess of the bakery, couldn’t stand the worries and asked Violet.
"A clothing store is like a luxury dressing room?."
"We are a little different from a dressing room. Think of it as a place selling pre-made clothes!"
" The clothes you made in advance?"
People were confused as they looked at each other’s faces alternately.
Familiar with the reaction, Violet said with a smile.
"The store opens in two days. Co see it once! You will be able to buy clothes for less than 2 silver!"
The people who flashed their eyes a couple of tis at her words burst into laughter at once.
"Yes, man! Young people are good at joking!"
"How can a suit sold in a place like this be 2 silver! No matter how cheap you go to the dressing room, you have to pay 50 silver!"
"I have to give 1 silver only to remove the fabric these days!"
But Violet spoke seriously.
"Really. Look at the day we open our store. But do you have to co quickly?"
"What? Because things will run out quickly."
The people who laughed holding the belly button at her sincere attitude stopped laughing one by one.
"I, really?"
"Yes, of course!"
However, people still looked dubious.
Violet shrugs with a heart that everyone will know when the open day cos.
And she didn’t forget to ask for it once again.
"Don’t forget to spread the word around! The opening of our ’Gallahan Clothing Store’ is two days later!"

Today was a day of class. And one more thing.
It was also the day when a clothing store nad after my father was opened in Haslot Market.
Not only my father, who was nervous and couldn’t sleep all night, but I also went out early in the morning and had a simple breakfast by myself, and I headed to the classroom a little earlier.
Because of Clerivan’s schedule, there was a ssage that the class was a little faster.
Maybe in the afternoon, I’m going to go to the dressing room to check the situation.
The door of the classroom was opened after passing the familiar path.
Even though I didn’t know about the twins or Belsach, the classroom was empty, where I always thought there would be Larane who ca first to read a book.
"Am I the first?"
It’s rare.
I settled down in the classroom without much doubt.
It was the place where I always sat with the twins.
But I heard the door of the classroom open again.
"Hi, Sir!"
I laughed wide at Clerivan.
It was a business smile.
When I laughed like this, it was Clerivan who always smiled at .
But today sothing is different.
He smiles like a habit, but his hardened eyes look at .
"Teacher, what’s going on?"
Clerivan approached where I was sitting, took a small jar from his arms, and put it down in front of .
"Did you know this product that is selling on fire these days as Lombardys business?"
"Hmmm..."
I didn’t know how to answer.
It was because I made a conversation with my grandfather about the recomndation letter.
Besides, I heard that my grandfather collected Lombardy’s vassal and even proudly boasted of it as my work.
So, it’s okay to answer ’I know well’.
But it made hesitate that I couldn’t understand the intent of Clerivan’s question.
Instead of answering, I looked at him for a mont.
Clerivan’s eyes, whose pignt was close to light blue, faced my gaze in front of .
"...If so, let tell you what I think."
Clerivan said in a low voice.
"Other families don’t believe the fact that Lord said in the last eting he held that this ointnt was made by a Lady Florentia, not at the level of pride of an ordinary granddaughter. I think I understood the will of the Lord as much as I gave it."
In fact, that’s normal.
I am only eight years old now.
"But I know you well too."
" ...?"
"Perhaps the idea and thod of creating this ointnt was sothing you ca up with. Estira just added technical awareness. Isn’t it?"
"No! I just really helped Estira."
First of all, I tried to pretend I didn’t know.
But, as expected, it doesn’t work for Clerivan.
"Then are you saying that Estira invented the ointnt?"
"Yes. All that matters is Estira......."
"She doesn’t just sell dicine but put it in beeswax and vegetable oil to harden it. It’s also mixed with hipsee."
"Because Estira is smart!"
"Of course I know that Estira has a brilliant head, but she, not the one who thinks out of the box."
No, when did you figure out about Estira like that?
Clerivan seed to be convinced already.
The ointnt was not made by Estira, but by my own initiative.
In fact, I have been noticing it for a while.
The day he had a eting with my father over the price of ready-to-wear clothes.
Clerivan clearly knew that this ready-to-wear business was a business for commoner’s custors.
At that ti, it would have been to show his intentions, that he suddenly raised the price higher.
It was already a little while later that I felt uncomfortable in Clerivan’s attitude.
But there wasn’t much to say after that, so I thought maybe it was my mistake and went over.
Being raised in this way.
I asked with a bloody smile.
"It’s only said to that today’s class has been pulled, right?"
Then Clerivan responded by raising the tail of his mouth as well.
"Yes. Others were told that today’s class was canceled. I did it because I thought I needed ti to talk to you. Please forgive ."
"You didn’t have to do that. If you just asked, I would have answered."
Just like Clerivan did, I was just trying to think of him, not to take it to the end.
It was a little bit more than I had planned, but it was going to happen one day.
It’s Clerivan Pellet after all.
It was rather welcoming that a comrcial genius who I had to make him my own people at all costs ca to with curiosity.
"If so, please tell the truth."
Clerivan said in a sincere voice.
At that mont I could see.
If I don’t properly answer Clerivan’s questions right now, I’m not going to get this genius’s cooperation no matter what the future.
I put my back straight to get my posture right.
"First of all, the teacher’s guess is correct. I made the ointnt with Estira’s help."
"Also..."
Clerivan’s eyes looking at twinkled.
"Then, is Gallahan’s project also the idea of a young lady?"
"No, that’s not it. My father ca up with making and selling ready-to-wear."
"Ready-to-wear clothes. That’s right. You can call it that way."
Oh right.
In this place where there is no concept of ’pre-made clothes’, of course, there is no word for ’ready-to-wear clothes’.
Clerivan nodded as he looked at with a face that seed to be impressed.
I knew when he said.
"I have to lower the price. I an, you’re the one who goes beyond what I expected to do with my lady."
It was then, too.
I can’t forget Clerivan’s face, who laughed brightly.
It’s even more handso.1
"Actually, since the ti of the Coroi cotton business, I have had a feeling."
"Well, from then on?"
A stream of sweat flows.
How sharp is this man?
"At that ti, the reason why the business right was transferred from Viese-nim to Gallahan-nim was because of the lady. More precisely, it was because the lady suddenly dragged Gallahan to the front of the wagon."
My face turns slightly red with embarrassnt.
Clerivan has been aware of it to so extent since then.
I feel hot when I pretended I didn’t know anything.
"At that ti, it was important to open the door to my father."
"I understand, that heart. Gallahan is a valuable talent to read only books."
After all, Clerivan has eyes to see.
It’s the first ti he ever praised my father in front of , so I feel better.
Because it’s already like this, I want to see him join my father’s business in my na in the future.
But don’t push too hard.
Clerivan was a talent that you should never miss.
Is my grandfather’s talent collection wall inherited from ?
I wanted to make Clerivan my own, even at the mont, so I said, barely calming my simring heart.
"Anyway, please pretend you don’t know. I will try not to bother you.."
I was speaking politely to suit Clerivan’s whims as much as possible.
Once I had successfully told Clerivan that I was an extraordinary child, it was decided that it was about this point.
And in the future, I was hoping to show better and better appearances, build trust, and make Clerivan my person.
But even before I finish speaking, Clerivan’s face is grim and his sound hardens as if it were flying.
"...Teacher?"
"Why?"
Clerivan was disappointed with .
"Yeah?"
"Am I still lacking?"
"What does that an...... ."
"I asked if the ability of this Clerivan Pellet wasn’t in your eyes"
"No way!"
Whatever you are going to do in the future!
Apart from raising the top of the Pellets, Clerivan’s achievents were beyond description.
In particular, after he beca in charge, the chart at the top of Lombardy rose by drawing an almost straight line.
At least in comrce, no one can follow Clerivan’s animalistic sense.
Clerivan, who was looking at , bites the lower lip slightly as if he was resentful.
And he said to in a slightly trembling voice.
"Please don’t throw away..."
