Volume 5 Intermission 5 (2/2)
”That's right”
”Not as good as Etai-ani”
”Etai-niichan taught me~”
After each of them draws a picture, I start the talk
”I want to euys”
”I haven't properly learned the letters you know?”
”Is it my b, body?!”
”My breasts are still small, do you want to make me your mistress?”
I deny the children's off--the-mark replies, and I explain in detail
I' cards, and I want to spread it all over shi+ga kingdom, not only in Seryuu city, so in order toto employ them
”How ive one penny for one set?”
”You, that's too greedy”
”That's right, that'll become several copper coins in one month”
”How many will it become?”
The children's wages depend on their works, but the market price is around 1-2 copper coins in a es
I tell the children who have begun to count with their fingers the answer
”If you can make 30 sets in one month, then that'll be 30 pennies, or six coins in copper coins”
”Four of us can make 40 sets”
”Then that'll be eight copper coins Each person gets two copper coins”
”A, that's about the same as Yuni-neechan”
”It's true, a”
”However, do we have that much materials?”
”I wonder if we can ask Tsui-niichan~?”
The children are fast to become excited, and depressed
I don't intend to make them work that cheap, but since I don't have the fund for the start up, I'll coin
”I will prepare the materials of course”
”Really?!”
”Then, I'll make many”
”Un, I'll work hard~”
Ah spirit, Etai-kun alone looks gloomy
”But, is it fine to do it without permissions from Yuni and Tsui-niichan?”
”Oh right, they're the children who have brought the card, taught the play, and suggested the cards' production aren't they”
”Un”
”Do you knohere they work at? I'll go and ask theht”
I go out of the orphanage after hearing the workplaces of Yuni-chan and Tsui-kun Since I've acquired informal consents from Etai-kun and the other children, I'll talk about it with the re two children I must respect the fellowshi+p of the children
◇
First, I go to the Gate Inn where Yuni-chan is working I have to persuade the girl as she's the one who created the idea of the play If I just put a separate manual for that play, it'll surely sell
”Okay”
I got per her work, and the she readily replied it The girl is different than irl, but an extreirl
”The one who thought that play isn't me It's by my friend called Arisa”
”Where should I go to meet her?”
”She's gone to the labyrinth city”
”I see, this is troubling”
”It's alright, that Arisa would say strange things like [There is no border for play] and would give you the permission”
That girl called Arisa seems like she has a hearty personality
Since that girl has promised to send Yuni-chan a letter when she's arrived at the labyrinth city, I ask her to write thisto be an approval after the fact, but let's work hard as to prevent it beco a dispute
Of course I won't be breaking any law even if I use it on my own accord, but to just use other's people idea like that, it's souild becomes the mediator
When I tell Yuni-chan that I will send the reply together with her letter, she accept while looking wholeheartedly happy
◇
Lastly, I go toward the wood processing plant where Tsui-kun is working It's directly after the gate on the east street since it's related to woods transport
”Okay”
I talked to him who's just taken a break, and he answered readily like Yuni-chan
He replies while playing with the thin shaved astes on his feet
”It was originally things that Yuni brought anyway, I only got the woods since I wanted one forthe the cards that are in the orphanage, but if you're selling newlyto take Etai who's having probleht? It's iuy to become a soldier or a transporter after all”
He's unexpectedly quite responsible
”I won't do anything bad to that boy Etai”
”Un, that guy is good at drawing pictures, but if you leave him alone, he'll draw until he collapses”
Tsui-kun nods that he wants me to tell him to be careful
I should make an upper limit for the number of sets made in a month If I don't put a limit, those children look like they'll work until they collapse
When I see the plane and the thin shaved woods that Tsui-kun is holding, I remember certain words
『What kind of idea are you going to make next? The demands seem to be there, it's the price afterward Search for cheap materials, or way for cheap ht』
I ru at the wood chips
”That's right, this is it”
I involuntarily stand up and shouts, the foreather their eyes on me
However, the excited o negotiate with the boss-san The thing that I've thought at this time takes form after half a year
At this tilue as the material for the cards, that wouldn't have happened without the great efforts and experiences of boss-san, and tsui-kun
Learning cards that are lued to become plywoods are worth 2 silver coins, it becomes souvenirs for people who visit this city for the labyrinth, and becomes well-known
However, that's a story for later
Until that, the days ofcards ood blocks and barely scrap by to return the cost of the material continue for a while
At this day, the best I can iures of Etai and the others who are flustered for seeing a s full of copper coins at the end of the month
