120 Episode 120: Teleport has an unprecedented scent.txt (1/2)

I've borrowed Tempo.

'Tempo?　What does that mean?

Hmm?　Stores, stores. Stores.

When I returned from the guild, I reported the results to Etowah.

There was just a good property available along the main street near the central square.

''Eh!　Already? That's fast!　How much is the rent?

Three gold pieces.

About 450,000 yen.

The size is not so big, but it is totally cheap considering that it is a first floor store and a prime location.

However, when you consider that the current rent for a stall is one silver coin a month, it's 30 times that much.

''I've signed a contract with the momentum, but I have to do the interior, and the opening will be after the Knights' parade is over.

There's not many days until the parade. The grand master is working on the equipment for the knights' corps at a rapid pace, but I'm not sure we're ready for the parade.

For now, I'll give it my all for the parade, and if I can hand out shop cards saying ”new opening” to people I meet at the parade, I'll be very happy.

Well, the store itself doesn't require much preparation.

I've already previewed the shop with the guild staff, and it's only about 2.5 square meters at best, and although it's a bit old, it's still within the realm of something that can be disguised as ”tasteful.

However, since it's a high-class restaurant, it's necessary to create a certain level of class. Maybe they could make it a members-only shop with a reservation system to specify the date and time of visit, or maybe they could make it a little bit like a salon and serve customers tea and sweets.

You can ask Mr. Bill, the dwarf master, who is an artist and can make anything, to do that.

It would be good to bring in some wallpaper from Japan and put it up. There are all kinds of paints.

Well, if we do too much of it, it might look too gloomy, so we'll try to make it look good. There are a lot of people like Aeon and Rebecca and Hetty to talk to.

What do you want to name the store?

Name?　Oh, I see.

Before you can open a shop in the guild, you have to write and submit a registration card.

Until now, they were street vendors, so the registration was quite vague, although it was also put out, but if they were to open a proper store, they would be a bit fussy.

Originally, Elishe is a special commercial zone, and the policy is quite lenient on merchants, but as expected, if you have a shop, you'll have to pay more taxes than ever before.

In this world, having a physical store means that you are a full-fledged merchant.

There's no need to give it a funny name, is there? I want a name that is easy to understand and has a certain charm.

'Yes. If we don't know what the store is called, we're going to lose new customers.

New stores.

I want one that's easy to understand and has a lot of appeal to customers.

You can get products you can't get anywhere else,” he said. I'll discuss with you guys whether or not we should have a membership.

It bothers me.

I thought I'd come up with something quick--

Luxury fabric store Ayase.

The Elf's Village Antenna Shop, Sekaiju no Mori

”Made in Earth.

The Otherworldly General Store.

Furufuru Furumun, the store where you can meet the elves

The Crucible of the Horde. The Crucible of the Horde.

”The Secret Show, Micchan.

Curiosity Shop Ayase.

Atelier Itsekai.

”Another Sky

”Duty Free Nippon

............ I can't think of any good ones.

I despaired of my lack of taste!

'Hmmm ....... It's annoying, but I guess you could call it a store for those in the know.

Etowah's suggestion is also valid.

Since we're not doing business thin and broadly for the masses, it might be just as well to be suspicious at first glance. Naming it 'The Elves' Store' is out of the question.

''Can't we just use the same name as the Knights?

Deanna, who had been quietly listening to the conversation, interrupted.

'Hmm?　Artemis?

Yes, sir. Artemis. It's a good name, it sounds familiar somehow.

Deanna says sullenly.

Artemis, huh? It's true that it would be easier to connect with the knights if they were named after him.

What do you think of Etoi?

'Yes. I'm thinking Artemis is fine too. Although it's hard to get rid of the ”luxury fabric store Ayase”.

You've got some serious taste, man.

That's why I decided on ”Artemis” as my business name.

Let's get the registration card out right away.

◇◆◆◆◆◇.

The next morning.

It's been a while since we had a joint training session with the entire knight squad.

Normally, one of us, Etois or Elepippi or Ion or Shamash-san, would be missing, but today the shop is closed, so it feels like a picnic and a training contest from hell.

I watch the training as I practice my horse.

'Oh no, it's great,'

The words spill out naturally.

A short distance away, a battle is going on between Ms. Rebecca vs. Marina & Ion.

I haven't used serious in my training lately.

Before, there was a difference in arms, so even seriousness wasn't dangerous, but now it's banned because ”just in case” is the norm. Nowadays, we mostly do it with wooden imitation weapons.

You're right, it's not fashionable to be dead in training or anything like that: .......

That's right, the training concentration might be more intense if you use serious.

Of course, I usually use Serious in training against the still weak Elepippi.

Or rather, I'm being forced to do the example 'training to be attacked all the time' against an empty-handed Shero-san. That was a normal one that almost killed me, so I'm a bit worried.

''Haaaaah!''

Phew!

Marina and Ion work on Rebecca.

They attack almost simultaneously.

Marina's long hilt and Ion's fine sword rush Rebecca-san.

''Not yet!''

Rebecca-san handled Marina and Aeon's brilliant coordinated attacks, but still handled them lightly with her wooden sword.

Even with a two-man attack, Rebecca still has room to spare. What's going on with the power gap in this world?

Nevertheless, both Marina and Ion are good enough moves.

If Marina is rigid, then Ion's sword is soft.

As expected, she was trained by the legendary mercenary leader, and as expected, she is a skillful sword.

However, Rebecca, who is trained in real battles, goes even further.

No matter how talented she is, Aeon's sword might be just a princess' sword after all.

Nevertheless, Ion is already quite capable of fighting.

It's not an honorable thing to have three vocation in the field of combat. The ”General” and the ”Holy Knight”. If you're serious about practicing, you'll soon be overtaken by them.

Rebecca-san and Marinaion's mock battle was over, followed by Shero-san and Marina's grueling battle.

Both of them are serious.

Rather than normal training, it was combat training using Marina's example of the 'Thunder Hammer Mjolnir Hammer'.

The difference in ability between Shero-san and Marina is still considerable, so it shouldn't be a problem ....... It's a good thing that you're able to get the most out of your time with that level of dangerous training, so you might be used to it.

Well, if it comes down to it, Deanna will take care of it with the spirit stone.

Come on!

Yes, sir!

Marina holds a huge hammer as tall as her height.

The ”Thunderbolt Mjolnir Hammer” is a magic weapon that was dropped by the One-Eyed Giant ”Argeese” of Luklaera.

It is said that, contrary to its appearance, it feels lighter than the halberd to Marina, who is equipped with it. It's said that it can be wielded roughly the same as a hammer made of wood.

That part is the same with my magic sword. Rebecca-san's holy sword seems to be the same, and it may be something like the characteristics of a magic weapon.

''Haaaaaaah!''

Marina wields the hammer.

Just buzzing around an object of such huge mass is a bit of a threat.

'Sweet!　There's a lot of room for error!

But it didn't work on Mr. Shero, and he was easily flicked by the sword and staggered.

'Faster!　Hahaha!　Hammers tend to be monotonous in their attacks.

Shero, who has plenty of room at all.

Hmmm, the hammer is a powerful weapon, but it certainly has to be monotonous against humans, doesn't it? It's just ”shake and mussel”. ......
