49 Episode 47: After the damage



"You've brought me a large quantity again, you little fellow."Well, all the guilds are in trouble," Mormat is scratching his head apologetically.  ... don't you think that's going to make a mistake? The day after talking about picking up vegetables damaged by the heavy rain in the garbage collection guild, Mormat knocked on the door of the Yangtari-tei early in the morning and offered me vegetables piled up like fools. "That's an awful lot," Jeanette gleams at the sight of a heap of vegetables.  ...I'm being made to buy this, if you like it. "But wouldn't it be perfect to serve the food, with Loretta's brothers and sisters and the Torbeck factory?" The sight of large quantities of vegetables leads to the idea of ready‐made food.  He's such a good-natured guy.  If you look up a dictionary of Japanese, isn't it in your name? It's like [Friendly: Jeanette]. "The shape is broken, but the taste is guaranteed. Of course, it doesn't contain anything rotten.""Well, I trust you there..." Mormat takes pride in their vegetables.  You won't give me half‐finished goods.  I guess they don't really want to sell it, but they can't replace it. "Mr. Jiro, why don't you chop this into small pieces and make it into a taco?""Tacos?" Popcorn isn't the only corn I'm buying from Yaplock.  Flint corn is milled into corn flour before being wholesale. Corn flour tortillas are not classified as 'bread' as the church dictates, and are a staple food that can be cooked at the Yodari-tei.  Scratched vegetables are not known once they have been chopped.  You can put chopped vegetables in the taco sauce. "Then I'll make tacos and... a Minestrone-style vegetable soup.""Looks delicious. I'll do my best!" The manager of our restaurant made such a big fuss that he decided to buy these vegetables. I'm sure he'll cook them for 100 or 200 servingsurely. "My sisters help me, so I can cook smoothly now.""Did you teach him?""Did you learn it while you were on tour?" What's that sponge-like absorption?  I think future geniuses will come from hamsters. "Well... I mean, these vegetables...?""I'll have it all. How much is it?""Oh... oh!? Really!""Is this what you see lying about?""…………………………………… I can see a little...""Then it's a lie. Go home.""Oh! I can't see it! I can't see it at all!""'Spirit's,'"Wow, that's a lie! I can see it for a while, but I was saying 'I can't see it'! I'm sorry, please forgive me!""You can't bully me, Mr. Yashiro?" Jeanette gently remonstrates with me with a chuckle.  Hmmm. This crocodile is rude in the first place. "And how much is it altogether?" I have a lot of income on the first day of mobile sales, so I don't think it's going to be short.  Surely there should be about 1,500Rb to spare, even if all the expenses are subtracted. "How about 1500Rb?" Wow!  So, is it RPG tutorial?  I wonder why the gods of this world are trying to take it with them. "There's a ton! You're buying a garbage collection guild for 10 kilo 20Rb right now, right? A ton is 2000Rb. You said 1500Rb is fine, so it's a bargain!""Really! It's a good deal, Mr. Jiro!""Ginnett, just shut up a minute,""'2000Rb is 1500Rb'?"......what about that?"How much would it cost to sell it to the guild?""Well, that's...""Is it going to be priced in the first place?""………………No, you know,………….""800Rb. I can't do any more. You're not the only one who's been hurt by a disaster.""…………………………………… Jillo!" Mormat, at a loss for words, suddenly shook his body with a loud voice.  Mormat laid his limbs on the ground, ready to be beaten.  He sat down on the muddy ground after the rain. "For God's sake! I have a responsibility to protect the guilds!""Oh, oh, hey... MOMAT,""I know you're in good shape! I know you won't be shaken by such tears! And then, just this once! Why don't you give in?""I don't mind if you say such a thing."If you buy this for 1500Rb, I'll do anything after this! If you want me to be a slave, I can do it! I really need money this time! Please!" This is... honestly unexpected... If I had been myself, I would have done enough to stamp on the back of my head, which had been exposed before me." Currently, all the vegetables entering the Yodamari-tei are coming from the agricultural guild led by Mormat via the garbage collection guild. We have blocked the supply route from the peddler guild.It makes us think we have the upper hand by doing well, but the truth is that we are the ones who are in trouble when the supply of vegetables is cut off.  Well, you won't notice Mormat because he's stupid, but if you twist the relationship here, it'll be a disadvantage to me later..."What are you looking at?" Before I knew it, Estella was standing behind a kneeling mamat.  He passed over Mormat's head and looked me in the face with a smile on his face. ... It's a smile that I can afford to be irritated with. "You live a difficult life, too, that you need a reason to do good,""I don't understand what you mean. There are not many people as good as I am.""Hahaha. When you become a frog, maybe it's when you're offended me.""You have to be careful... your chest is not flexible, so you'll be hurt easily.""What? Is that meant to be a will?" Estella's smile sends out a dark aura.  Look at it. It's not elastic enough.I'm going to get angry. I'm not flexible enough!"May I have a moment, Mormat?""Huh? What'said he. Estella lifts Mormat's arm as she crawls to the ground.  Then he distanced himself from me and began whispering quietly.  Estella's gaze glances at us.  Somehow, it seems to be being explored, and it's very unpleasant.  I mean, MOMAT.  You may not have noticed it, but that's the kind of guy you'd like to talk about at least once.  Momat looked at me as if I were being dragged by Estella, and nodded loudly with an expression of "I see."  What did you put in your wisdom? . . . . . .""Now, Mormat. Let's resume the negotiations.""Hey, Estella. What are you...?""Jillo!" Your voice is loud, Momat.  While I was listening to Mormat's hoarse voice, Estella took refuge behind him.  d*mn... it's a good idea to get rid of the enemy's general without such a false horse.""We're in trouble! Buy these vegetables for 1,500Rb!" Is that the result of being put in perspective? It's just that my cry has become too loud. . . . . What ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"First of all, talk to the person in charge!""...the man in charge...." Sweat trickles on my back.  I see, Estella. I see. . . . . ."Now, Jeanette in the back... No, consult with the chief executive of "Yodamari-tei Main Store!" ......d*mn it!  Did you realize from this position that I never looked away?" Behind me diagonally to the left is a Jeanette.  I was determined not to see you until the end of this negotiation... ...because..."Now look at Jeanette, Jillo!""...d*mn it!" As if I were under a curse, my head slowly turned to Jeanette.  What's this... Jeanette's will or MOMAT's will!? I don't want to... I don't want to see... ...if I look at Jeanette's face like this right now..."...Mr. Jiro..." If Jeanette is the morning sun tearing through the darkness of the night, I'm a vampire or something.  The aura that comes from Jeanette's face hits me and my somatic cells turn into dust.  When I see the feet of others, I can see that the evil parts of me who try to deceive and gain even a little bit of my own profit are being purified by the holy light that comes from heaven.  So, Jeanette.  I wonder if you'll stop calling my name like a whisper with all your thoughts in your pursed eyes." Isn't there a limit to the use of that technique? Cheat! Cheat!  It's really..."Oh......……………………………………………All right.""Mr. Jiro!"`Oh, my!'"Huh..." Jeanette clapped her hands, her expression shone, Mormat raised her two fists and screamed, and Estella smiled with her arms folded in the distance.  ... oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, "But don't forget what you said?""What?" keep a nail on a mo mat  I'm afraid I'll really forget this. "When I ask for your cooperation, you have to cooperate with me no matter what! First of all!""Oh! Leave it to me!" I can't leave it to you..."...Yasilo, popcorn is ready." Opening the shop door, Magda came out with popcorn in her hand.  Like a baseball field vendor, they hold a box-shaped tray and put freshly made popcorn in the tray with shoulder straps slanted over.  It's a "seller style" that I devised to sell to places where street stalls can't go.  Magda seems to be in good spirits.  for... After finishing the expansion work on the reservoir yesterday, I told everyone at dinner that I had been there.  My sister picked up the girl's hat.  And the girl thanked me.  Finally, there were calls for the reopening of stalls.  It was Loretta and Jeanette who were pleased to hear the story, but Magda seemed to be quite pleased???? Apparently they were in the kitchen earlier than I woke up this morning and sorting out the corn from which to grow popcorn. "… On the first day of reopening, we're going to offer you high quality," he said quietly. "... taste it, palmro.""Oh," put the popcorn out in one's mouth  Huh!? I think it tastes better than usual."...I've changed the ratio of honey to butter. It's easier to eat without habit." Surprisingly, Magda has revamped its own recipes.  Moreover, the grade is up.  You know... I'm going to keep my place as a popcorn maker. My sisters have been able to make it recently, so I'm afraid I'm going to show you some sort of difference in status around here.  however "It's delicious!" Honestly, I take off my hat.  As for popcorn, we've been completely outnumbered. "...huh," Magda's expression, though expressionless, looked happy.  You can't be mistaken, for your cat's ears are twitching. "... The manager. Tasting.""Yes, I'll take it, then." The moment I picked a grain gracefully and put it in my mouth... Jeanette's eyes were wide open. "...honey and butter in my mouth..." Oh, there's another expression I don't understand.  I hope Hammaro will teach me what metaphorical expressions are. He's a professional. "... Estella. Tasting.""Huh? Can I, too? Then one...""""Wow, in what kind of way does it convey the deliciousness, Jiro, Ta-no-shi-mi☆""""...what is that?""""Yashiro, Ta-no-shi-mi""""...I won't comment on anything. Don't expect anything strange!""………………………""I won't!" with a whiff  That's what I've done before. "Oh, dear! The moment I put it in my mouth, the honey smell was like this, fluffy... but the butter flavor... Oh, this is milk......……………………… it's gone.""You have no vocabulary"."Hey, it's because Jiro puts a lot of pressure on me! You didn't even know the taste!" Oh, I don't know how to blame people for everything like that. "... Momat. Do you want some?""Oh, is that all right? Then, don't hesitate!" Mormat grabs popcorn with his big hand and throws it into his mouth.  ...you really had no hesitation in eating. "Oh! This is so funny! It's kind of a nostalgic sweetness, but with its refreshing and sophisticated flavor, it feels like it's been upgraded to a stylish snack." ....................somewhat nice comments. "You're Mormat,""You're Mormat,""Mr. Jiro and Mr. Estella. Both of you feel sorry for Mr. Mormat.""Did I do anything wrong?" If you ask me what's wrong... Well, in a nutshell..."I don't like it,""What do you want me to do, that's it!" a bellowing mormat in distress  Magda gently puts out her hand to Mormat, with her palms facing up. "...there's a lot."... to?" Mormat is confused by Magda's sudden remark.  Magda gently released her hands from the tray, and the paper that had been held by her hands fell flat and a notice like this appeared on the front of the tray. """New Honey Popcorn 1500Rb""""Whoo!" Momat burst out laughing at the notice.  What's the hell of a rip‐off charge... even if it's not Momat, it's going to be outstanding. "No... no... Magda-chan... ...tasting this... you know?""...tasting? Who did that?" That's the look on Magda's face when she fizzles out.  Momat's impatience reaches its peak. "No, because Magda asked me, 'Do you want to eat?'"`...conversation record,' A translucent panel appears before Magda's eyes as she mutters.  Magda scrolls it with her finger and displays the conversation in that part. """...Jillo, sample it""""Oh," First of all, it's a conversation you had when you recommended me a sample. '...store manager. Tasting.'"Yes, then, I'll take it." And Jeanette. "... Estella. Tasting"'Huh? Am I okay? Then one...'Come here with Estella????'...Mormat, do you want some?''Oh, you don't mind!? Then, don't hesitate!'"Yeah. I didn't say 'tasting.'""What!? What!? No, but you asked, 'Do you want to eat?'""... "How do you like it?" is a common phrase in the hospitality industry.""Well... well... well... well... well... well... well... MOMAT can't be bothered by Magda's words.  Magda... you've been this strong before you knew it..."Eh, Estella! What should I do? Like Jiro!""Go to Regina right now and get rid of the toxins before the Jillo virus spreads!""You guys, remember later.""Oh, no! I don't think it's a problem that Mr. Jiro is bad, but Mr. Magda is like Mr. Jiro... Oh, no! He's a good person, but to put it all in a big way like Mr. Jiro... No, not this either! Well, I mean...!""Genet, you just have to be honest and say, 'I don't need two Jiro'.""Oh, I don't mean to do that, you know... ...Mr. Magda, do your best to become the second Jiro-san."Don't give up, Jeanette? If you get more like this, you'll eat up the 42nd leg!""I'll tell you again. You guys, remember later." What a rude bunch!  And what happened to Mormat was... Like a frog glared at by a snake, he was just sweating away. "...seek,seek,seek,1500Rb""... a punishment for embarrassing Jiro." To be honest, I couldn't hide my surprise at the expressionless Magda said in an intonationless voice.  I can't believe he thinks that..."Well, I didn't mean to... ...but..." Momat hung his head.  I'm in complete resignation mode. He's not going to pay, is he?"Okay... I'm the one who didn't check it first... 1500 roux...""Don't take it seriously, idiot crocodile." Chop on Mormat's forehead before you say it all. "Magda, too. You should try to understand that the joke is a joke. If you make me feel sad, I can't laugh later.""... Magda is joking....""Are you kidding?" I'll shake my ears a little violently, somewhat displeased. "...." Magda's force falls off immediately.  I caress Magda's crouched head, and I crouch down and whisper in her ear. "Thank you for being angry, but will you forgive me?""...if you like palmro, not really.""Well, she's a good girl." In his eyes I might have been pushed through.  Like Estella and Jeanette, they may not yet be accustomed to understanding the emotions behind the other person's words.  I don't want you to be as cunning as Estella, but I want you to be as cunning as Jeanette.  I know. I can't be a little more frank with you. "Mr. Magda, about Mr. Mormat's vegetables." As Magda and I squat face to face, Jeanette comes and crouches in the same way.  Then whisper in a warm voice that is gentle but easy to hear, as if you were telling a young child. "I think Mr. Jillo was going to help Mr. Mormat from the beginning. Mr. Jillo has a bad mouth, but he's a very nice person." I'm sorry. I can't speak. "... seemed to be in trouble."I'm embarrassed." No, I'm not embarrassed. "But Magda's kind heart. I love it." It would have been devilish to Mormat.  Well, let's leave the rest to Jeanette.  You'll do a good job of appeasing me. "Ya, Jiro.........Did I hate you?" With an uneasy expression on my face, Momat approaches me.  Worrying! "It's all right,""Well, I see...""I didn't like you in the first place.""That's why I'm sad!" That's good, isn't it? It's as bad as zero. "Ma, Magda-chan! I'm Mabudachi and Yashiro! Sometimes we joke hard, but we're really close!" MOMAT, who is willing to cross shoulders and let go of his selfishness.  Since when did you get madachi? There's a monthly fee for my Mabudachi, including the admission fee. "But you've been very aggressive this time, haven't you? It's not what you normally are." Estella is pretending to be someone else's business. She's the one who chased me, so you should be criticized. She's a very sloppy woman."Actually, some of the guild's friends... have come out and say they're going to quit farming...""What are you going to do if you quit?" Job change? Is there a freedom to choose a career in this world?"Be an adventurer and get a shot..." Oh, reckless! I don't know how adventurers get money, but I've never had a shot at him.  I'm sure it's a matter of great urgency. "That house, which had just been born the other day, would leave the family apart if things like this.""That's... sad," Jeanette puts a tearful look on her face. "So, 1500Rb, I can manage to keep farming! So I think I'll be able to hold out for a while, but I don't have to quit right now."So you're going to give all your benefits to the family?""We can... get by. We have little, but we have some savings. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .""...Mr. Mormat...." Was there any circumstance like that?  That's why you kneel down.  What does that mean? Did they ignore their profits and ask me to buy them for 1500Rb? It would have benefited us if we kept pushing through at 2000Rb.  Hmm... stupid, honest, stupid, honest... ...yes, stupid. "... Jillo," Magda looks a little sad when she listens to Mormat.  My ears are fast asleep.  He lived in a hunting guild away from his parents. He must be well aware of the pain of being alone. "…………One serving, 1500Rb.""You're not trying to sell it to me," Magda, holding out a tray of popcorn. She's scared of the future. But... Forty‐two wards, which are said to be the poorest in All Bloom. Compared to Central wards, the difference between heaven and earth.  However, the gap between the rich and the poor is severe even in the 42 wards, which are at the bottom of the line.  To put it bluntly, it's only 1,500Rb.  Even in the 42 wards, there are quite a few people who can pop their foreheads without hesitation.  The guys in the bar on the high street are the ones at the top of the list, for they've taken a thousand rb of bets.  Of course, it's not as if they haven't lost the bet at all, but for them it was enough to "lose money."  But if the farmers' guilds had the same experience... the signal of the end of their lives would ring loudly.  They all know, but they don't. They don't pretend not to notice, they really don't.  That the present situation is based on the sacrifices of producers, including agricultural guilds.  It's a good proof that even before I came to Yodamari-tei, even though it was the last minute, managed to get along.  With two visitors a day, the more five people came, the more humble they were, including nearly half of the food and run.  Nevertheless, it had not been crushed.  It goes without saying where the strain has gone.  The price of vegetables in the garbage collection guild was so high that it seemed too conscientious compared to the peddling guild that both Jeanette and Mormat were so happy.  But, to my mind, such a transaction is nothing but 'buying up'; it might be presumptuous to put it that way.  Thanks to the people at the Torbeck factory coming by, the Yodamari-tei is now in a state of security.  Of course, I still can't afford luxury, and I don't have any money at all, but it's enough to live here.  On top of that, if mobile sales start to turn out well... ...it's not my dream to have a life where I can drink as much alcohol as I want with a beautiful giant breast on my hands.  That's why I don't have to worry about the producers.  For the seller, the lower the purchase price, the higher the profit.  That's what I've been saying. "It's stupid to be fooled."  People who don't notice or question the strange situation are to blame in the first place; those who accept and give up thinking as the peddler's guild tells them, despite the bad conditions, are to blame.  Fortunately, Jeanette is completely oblivious, even the smart Estella hasn't figured it out.  People take it for granted that there is a gap between rich and poor, and that's what they enjoy.  Then there's no need for me to remind you of it.  But…this is also conceivable.  They say that money is around the world. If the economy doesn't turn, the amount I should receive in the future will be greatly reduced.  Momats producers probably rarely get into high street stores.  Now that Yodamari-tei is back on the road, you can't take it as a customer. Even popcorn is considered a luxury item in the first place, and it may not be easy to deal with.  Those guys make up half of the 42 wards.  No matter how successful the mobile sale is, it will hit a ceiling somewhere.  In other words, the future of me being able to eat and drink as much as I want with my big breasts on both hands will be far away.  So, well, what do you call it... ...that's what I mean. "Manager, I'd like to talk to you.""Yes, let's ask." When he stood up and faced Jeanette, Jeanette also stood up.  a breast boom  ...let me say this much. I'm going to have to say something that's going to make me sick..."I'd like to buy these vegetables at a fixed price, but isn't there a 500Rb drop somewhere in the store?""Yes, thanks to the hit of the daily set meal and the presence of people at the Torbeck factory, I have that much savings.""That's a relief. Now we can negotiate with the Agricultural Guild.""Oh, come on, Jillo!" Momat interrupts me and Jeanette's meeting. "I can't trouble you so much! This is our problem!""Did you have enough land left?" Ignoring Mormat's story, I ask a different question.  Answer me honestly. Then you may have a good thing to do. "Ah, oh, there is some land that hasn't been cultivated yet," The water hole in the channel had also turned into a very large but wasteland. "Why didn't you plow?""No, the hands... and the agricultural guild is on a tightrope now... and I don't have time to try something new.""There's a place where you're letting them play?""Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh... ""Then it's too early to talk about. Let me have the land.""The land!? What are you going to do?""Let the hamsters do farming.""...." Momat's eyes are wide open.  I can't hide my surprise. "I'd like you to use the land you're letting me play with and practice farming. If possible, I'd appreciate it if you could treat me like a tenant farmer in your field and pay me according to the amount of vegetables I've harvested. They can't calculate, so I can't negotiate with you to become a sole proprietor and sell vegetables.""Will I... employ them?""Of course it's an apprentice, so it's okay to give them a discount. You can cash in on all the hamster vegetables." Mormat folded his arms and twisted his neck with a low groan.  He's diving deep into a sea of thought and thinking around. "... you know. Why are you taking care of them so much?" It was a question that had nothing to do with agriculture.  A serious look is staring at me like I've never seen before.  I'll exhale deeply once and tell you once and for all. "Because I like it?" plain and simple  There's nothing else to say.  with such an easy‐to‐understand solution "...is that so?" Mormat scratched his head and muttered again, "...oh, I still have a long way to go." "Well, I wonder if you care about us by any chance." At that point, Mormat closes his mouth.  and he laughed with his nose and muttered a self-deprecating sneer. "No... it's plain to hear that," His voice sounded as if it had been blown out. "Okay! There's quite a lot of land left by the exterior wall. I'll let you have it!""Really!" It was Jeanette who gave a cry of joy.  Now we have secured jobs for the hamsters again.  the Torbeck Works and Agricultural Guild  And the seller and cooking aid of our mobile sales.  With this much, we'll manage not to get away with eating.  Moreover, hamsters can work in rotation.  I don't care if the same guy is farming or if some people take turns working.  They'd be absorbing more and more technology.  I'll help you if it rains.  Somebody will fill the gap if someone is injured.  That's how you can work. "But I'll be strict if I teach you, so tell him to be prepared! 'If you complain, I'll beat you back!'" He may be acting like a strict instructor, but..."You're the one who complains the most,""Yes, Mormat cries a lot, doesn't he?""...weeping crocodile.""Facts sometimes hurt people,""No, Jeanette... that's the most bitter thing." Jeanette blushes when pointed out.  Mormat's expression is soft as well.  Magda looks cool but in a good mood.  I guess this is the end everyone wanted. It sounds fun, isn't it?  Jeanette and Magda seem to head to the kitchen to cook the vegetables they have.  Apparently, Mormat carries a large amount of vegetables to make you feel at least comfortable.  The three of them trotted into the dining room.  Thus, instead of running out of savings at Yodamari-tei, a new job was found for the hamster.  And......... I've got a field that I can interfere with easily.  Huff... Once again, I've put together a system that benefits me from other people's possessions.  Oh, no! That's amazing! Actually, I wanted to try to improve the variety.  If we can experiment with various things and reduce costs, it will be profitable directly.  Billionaires are not a dream on the day they are born even in brand-name varieties.  Hmm... My future is bright!"Yasilo". Estella pats me on the shoulder as I smile quietly in my heart. "It's hard to reason for good behavior," I'll leave that much to say and go into the dining room.  ......what the heck! "I'm not a good man," I muttered that, but nobody listened.
