Volume 2 - Chapter 13 – CLICHé DEVELOPMENT (1/2)

In the end there wasn’t enough time that day to start making a 『Water Heater』, Jin and Beana finished their lunch, and like yesterday, they opened the stall.

「Somehow it feels like there’s more people than yesterday」

The crowd had increased compared to yesterday. The two of them immediately began preparations.

「Ohh, we’ve been waiting」

「Quickly make some」

「Okay, please wait~」

Beana began to make popcorn while Jin arranged the magic tools for display. There Reiko joined. Jin upon seeing Reiko’s figure,

「Oh, Reiko. Already finished?」

「Yes. The purchase of barley, wheat, and pepper is done」

They whispered to each other so the noisy customers didn’t hear it.

「Alright, then come help me out here」

「Understood」

And so Reiko joined as a salesperson too.

「Ara, what a cute child. Is she your little sister?」

One of the customers said. Jin and Reiko, both had black hair so they appeared to be brother and sister.

「No, I…」

am his daughter, was what Jin interrupted Reiko from saying,

「That’s right. She came to help」

「Heeh, what a good girl. Ah, please give me one of these lighters please. The one I bought and took home yesterday was taken by my mother-in-law as she said “this is great”」

「Okay, thank you for your patronage」

Handing over the lighter, Jin received the money. Reiko seemed displeased. However Jin whispered,

「Reiko, we’ll only pretend you’re my sister here. We don’t want our problems increasing」

「I understand… Onii-sama」

Like that, the popcorn and lighter were sold out this day like the day before.

「We sold out today too」

「Aah, that’s great」

While they had their conversation and heading towards Beana’s home, a group of people ahead intercepted them.

「Hehehe, you seem to be making quite the profit recently, huh?」

「You should share a little bit of that profit with us」

There were four bad looking men. All four carried a sword on their waist.

「… uwa. Talk about cliché」

Jin was amazed, but without minding Jin the men reached their hands towards the pouch hanging on Beana’s waist.

「What do you think you’re doing! This is today’s sales!」

Beana slapped away his hand.

「Liiiike I said, share a little with us」

「Don’t joke with me! Why do I have to share with you!」

There was the same stubborn Beana as always. Jin,

「What you’re saying sounds like a thief, you do know that right?」

He enquired. Then one of them,

「What about it!」

Saying that, he attacked while aiming at Jin.

However, the next moment, that man was in the air. And like that,

「Heguu!」

He made a weird scream as he was slammed to the ground, then there was silence.

「What were you trying to do to Father?」

Of course that was Reiko’s doing. The remaining three men couldn’t believe that Reiko who seemed only about 10 years old had done that,

「What the hell did you do just now?」

「Did she use magic?」

They began to shout. Jin towards those guys,
