338 329. There are many ways to relax. (1/2)

The second day of the Golden Week, I spent yesterday relaxing with Himik, but I still have some time off.

It's normal to think of something to do then.

But unfortunately I don't have any highbrow hobbies.

If I had to say, I used to do kendo and I also played video games, but my job allows me to fit in with both of them and I don't feel like doing it.

I was living a life that could be described as tasteless.

But that doesn't mean I'm not comfortable with the idea of spending time in my room again.

”Is that why you came to help me in my store?

That's what I thought. I thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to help your wife out in her store once in a while.

Yes, well, we have a lot of items for the newcomers, and you are welcome to help with the inventory.

As a result, I came to Memoria's store, I was not in the mood to go out.

I didn't come here to play, but to work.

If you're going to work, you could pass the time by just hanging out in the underground facilities, and you might say that this is a more correct way to spend your day off.

But the foot was naturally going to her store.

And now you enter the store in a rough outfit with your right hand raised, and when you enter, you will find Memoria wearing a black apron, opening a cardboard box, and here you are.

I've been in this store since the beginning. It's good to do this kind of thing every once in a while. Do you want this item on this shelf?

”I think you're usually reckless and need to rest, but... You can take the other one on the next shelf, please.

When she heard me say that I came to help her because I was free, she was surprised at first, and then she let out a sigh and mumbled to herself that she didn't have any choice.

After mumbling to herself that she had no choice, she gave up on the idea that I would probably help her even if she said no, and silently pulled out a different sized apron from the one she was wearing from the counter and handed it to me.

She smiled slightly at that time and took the apron, and when I asked her if it looked good on her, she smiled clearly this time.

That's when it all started.

Just because a newcomer joins doesn't mean you're going to get more customers right away.

However, in order to attract customers, you need to have a certain amount of ingenuity, which is why you have a newcomer welcome campaign in place.

But what you are doing is the same as usual, only the sound of Memoria and I's voice and the sound of taking out the items echo in the quiet store.

By the way, you've been running the store all by yourself, don't you hire a part-time worker?

And as I was chatting with her, putting out products, checking inventory, and cleaning the store, I thought about it and asked her.

Is ......... part-time?

She was a late comer when the company was started and this underground facility was being operated.

That's when we met.

And ever since then, she had been running this store alone.

I've never seen anyone else working here, but I don't often see her absent.

It's not that she was closed, but she was only closed when I invited her to hang out or for some special occasion.

Otherwise, she kept the store open.

Normally, if you were running a store a little larger than a convenience store, you'd need some help with one person.

Nevertheless, she carried on alone.

Normally she wouldn't give you an immediate answer, or even a short pause, but she stammered at this question.

”Is there something wrong?

Yeah, well,

And when I asked her if there was a problem with her tone of voice, she replied honestly: ”The premise of a store is that trust comes first.

The premise of a store is that trust comes first.

But that doesn't answer my question, so I stop my stocking stuffer and wait for her to say something.

Then she explains her basic premise as a merchant.

It is true that the buyer trusts that this product is safe, and if the buyer is betrayed, no one will buy it, but what does that matter?

In this world, no, in Japan, it's relatively easy to find people to work for, isn't it?

Well, it's relatively easy to find a popular job. On the other hand, if it's a tough occupation, you won't be able to attract a lot of people. ......... Do you think the jobs in this store are not popular?

Could it be that the talk of trust is also a rumor of hard work and has gained trust in a strange way?

No, I mean, can I hire an employee? It was so quiet that it made you wonder, ”What's the point?

Isn't it.

The most important thing to remember is that my family is a major merchant family, so if you put in a call for help, you can get as many as you want.

She shook her head as if to deny my words.

Hmm, the word ”part-time” makes me uneasy, the word ”trust” is important, and the work environment is relatively good?　And with the popularity of Memoria's merchant families compared to other merchant families .

The question is, do you trust the people you hire?

That's what I mean.

Integrating the results of her question and answer, the expected answer was spot on, and she pulled out a stick with a red circle on it from nowhere without changing her expression.

The biggest difference between Japan and our world would be the crime rate. Unfortunately, our country is not as safe as this one. So we have to be very careful when hiring a foreigner.

That's how it works.

In Japan, a part-time job means a resume, and as long as you can prove a certain level of identity, you'll be hired unless you're a complete failure of character.

The problem in Memoria's world is the identification part.

That's right, even if you don't know what they've done, information is essential, especially if you're a merchant who deals in money.

Then can't you get some people from the merchant families?　Ask your stepfathers.

As much as I'd like to, as a rookie you can't stand up here, and as an experienced person you have your own job to do. This particular environment is often an inconvenience.

And now you can't even use your relatives' contacts.

This company is a state-owned company run by the so-called Demon King Army.

The people who can get through the screening process will not give up their jobs and positions to come here unless they're in a good situation.

It's a matter of profit and loss.

I can't help but laugh at that sentiment, which is typical for a merchant.

The connections here may live on, but it's just a matter of whether you can make those connections and whether you can risk your life as a merchant.

With the exception of her being assigned as the daughter of the chief executive.

She's here to fulfill a request from the demon king's army.

”If we could have another manager in charge of this store, I could move into a lifestyle for my children.

”As Himik said, you've been really aggressive lately,

Seeing Suela's face every day would make you feel that way, wouldn't it?

It's a small-built Memoria, but there is a woman with enough s*x appeal to say that her face is enough to make you feel comfortable with her as she leans close to my back.

”Can't you give me a happy face or something like that?
