54 50 What is the difference between business trip preparation and travel preparation? (2/2)

Pausing for a moment, I look away and follow Memoria into the store.

As if she had been working a moment ago, cleaning supplies were set out in the store.

You naturally pick up one of them and start cleaning.

Is the store closed today?

I'm off, but I'm not sure I'm ready to start again.

”Hey, hey, come on, okay?　It's our go-to place.

I can't help it, I got my orders personally from the Demon King, I can't resist.

”Oh my God, can I hear the instructions?

I didn't want to cut off the conversation by not seeing you again for a while, even though I thought it would probably be no good.

I've already been here many times.

You have some idea of the arrangement of the goods and you chat with them while you clean and dust.

You can use magic, but although cleaning magic is effective for large areas, such as gymnasiums, it's not really suitable for small areas.

It's simply that the number of times you use it increases, but it's also foolish to waste your magic power.

I simply can't use it, but when I asked Memoria before, she told me

”It depends on your mood.

That's what I was saying.

I guess that's how I'm feeling this time, too.

You will be able to find a lot of people who are in the same mood as you, but who are dressed in sturdy traveler's outfits, not the usual clerk's uniform like a young lady, but rather a sturdy traveler's outfit that you don't mind getting dirty, while Memoria and I cleaned the store smoothly with our hands while our mouths were rolling.

”Yes, that's fine, the contents are relevant to you as well, so I didn't have to go through the trouble of picking you up since you came to me.

”......

I was looking for the content of the conversation, but I couldn't help but reply with silence.

At this point, I've pretty much figured it out.

As it pertains to me at this point in time.

Is Memoria's family home a store or something?

”You're doing that too,

Is there a merchant corps, too?

Yes, that's where we get our products from.

Ahhh.

By the way, the reason I was away for a month or so was that there was a problem in the trading corps, and my father was supposed to solve it, but it was my turn to go, so I was really in trouble.

She's a really fast-paced lover.

You can also have a look at the following tips to help you get a better idea of what to expect.

But it's not bad if you say that opportunities like this one come around, because it seems that my background has caught the attention of Evia-sama.

Then again, the merchants on this trip were

”I will be at my place.

My prediction was spot on, and it seems that the difficulty of traveling to another world, not to a foreign country, is somewhat lessened when you don't know anyone.

The merchant force is just you and me, though.

I take it back, the difficulty seems to have increased considerably.

I was expecting a small to medium-sized merchant corps of ten men, if not a large one, but I didn't expect a corps, but an individual.

I was sure that the merchant corps that we talked about earlier would be present, but I was wrong.

Isn't it called peddling?

I'd say yes.

I guess that's all you can say: ......

”No, it's me, the merchant, and you, the bodyguard, the merchant corps. And a large merchant corps is more conspicuous. I guess that means they are a select few.

Certainly, the more people you have, the safer you are, but the more attention you get, as if in proportion to that.

If there are more people, you can do more, but the possibility of leaking the information you are collecting will increase.

Then it would be better to work with a small number of people to minimize the risk of exposure.

My trip is like a tour of duty, it makes more sense.

”The base is on the other side. We'll just move it in order.

It's nice and easy.

Yes, as long as you're careful about demons, thieves, and then filthy aristocrats, clerics who don't know what's clean, and merchants who are greedy, it's no problem.

”It's full of danger.

Yes.

I don't know if you're more at ease with Memoria or with the bad environment out there.

The use of the word ”even” is so questionable that the destination is apparently unsafe.

Compared to the safest place on earth, it's like an acorn in a barrel, isn't it?

What about transportation?

I'd say a carriage, but we're on foot to the first town, so you'll need to keep your luggage to that bag. The magic bag is too obvious to use.

”It's going to be really minimal.

”Also, I forgot to mention that they don't rely on my fighting ability to hide their vampire abilities.

”It's really full of danger,

The more I listen to it, the more insecurities are rumbling out.

'Has Memoria ever been to Isreal?

I've peddled a few times, so geography is not a problem.

Then tell me what you need in your luggage?　I've never done anything like this before.

If you forget to buy something like we have here, there's no convenience store.

You just have to deal with the parts you can manage as best you can.

As long as we have water, a fire, animals, and a blanket to keep us warm, we're good to go.

Hey, I'm going on a business trip, right?　You're not going to survive, are you?

It's a joke.

Please, if you're joking a little bit more, just give me a look that says I'm joking and I'll try to understand.

I'll try to understand, I thought I could live with that.

Putting my feelings aside, the store is mostly cleaned up and it's time for me to do my business.

”Wait a minute, sir.

Memoria, with her cleaning supplies propped up against the wall, went straight into the storage room in the back.

Less than a minute had passed.

She returned with a hooded cloak of the same color as the one she wore in one hand and a shoulder-borne leather bag in the other.

”Both are common things you use when traveling.

”I see.

In total, that's 50,000 yen.

”You want to get paid?　It's no wonder.

It's a business, and even lovers draw that line very firmly.

The sight of her calmly typing the cash register is somehow distracting, and you feel comfortable with your first interaction in a long time.

”I'll need a receipt for everything later, please.

Okay, now for the food. This is Isual's preserves.

”I knew it, but ...... looks bad.

”It's actually bad, it's usually a soup when you eat it.

And then I was shown something black named rocky dried meat .

To be honest, if I was going to eat it, I'd bring a can of it with me, but I don't think I can do that either.

”Is it okay if I bring some condiments?

Refill it and there's no problem. I'm going to take it with me.

”Yes!

I can't help but bust a gut when I hear that.

It is the same with overseas business trips, but I am generally worried about the food situation.

Even a bad meal can be managed with just a little seasoning.

With a glimpse of hope, I decide what to take as it is, while consulting with memoria.

I was worried about how it would work out, but now I know it will work out.

”The total is going to be 74,500 yen.

”Fall in expenses?

At the last minute settlement of accounts I received a receipt and was laughing with Memoria at the amount.
