Chapter 39: Edel at Work

Ginjiro spends a slow morning today.

The sun was already high in the sky and the weather was hot again today.

As usual, he went out to the garden and poured water from the well over his head to make himself feel refreshed before heading to the dining area.

“Good morning, Ginjiro-chan. You are late today.”

Clara’s smile is soothing today.

Harry is out early in the morning, doing his usual work of collecting medicinal herbs.

According to what I’ve heard, Harry is an adventurer who specializes in collecting medicinal herbs, he’s excellent because of his expertise.

Certainly, when the commercial guild received a request for valuable medicinal herbs, Miria said she relied on Harry.

“Speaking of which, I heard that Barney-san and Clara-san were adventurers, what were you doing as adventurer?”

I asked them, casually, and they told me that the party they belonged is specialized in defeating monsters.

Bernie was a heavy warrior with a huge shield to stop monsters in their tracks.

His second name is Bloody Bear.

Well, I was convinced of that.

After breakfast at Hungry Bear, I went to the fruit store where Edel works.

Yesterday, I asked him about the location of the fruit store, and it was surprisingly close, so I went to see how he usually works there.

When I got close to the place, I found Edel unloading the goods.

“Edel~”

I call out from afar, and he notices and waves.

“What’s wrong, Ginjiro-san?”

We were together yesterday and the day before, but Edel, who works at a merchant store, looked a little more mature.

He seemed happy when I told him that I had come to see how he was doing.

The laughing Edel looks like a little boy, but the way he works is very professional.

While I was thinking about such things, Edel introduced me to Thomas-san, the chairman of the company.

“I am grateful to you for taking care of our Edel. I sent him to the morning market by himself to learn about business, and he has grown since he met you.”

Thomas-san, the chairman of the Company, told me such a thing and I told him that it was Edel’s effort, not mine.

He asked me if it would be possible for his Company to purchase ice, but I politely declined.

Thomas-san was a man who could read the air around him, so he extended his right hand to me, asking me to take care of Edel even if it was just until the summer festival.

I grab his right hand and thank him, saying that I am also learning from him.

After separating our hands I look around the store and see a melon, so I ask Edel how much it is.

“This melon costs 2 silver coins, but since I’m indebted to you, I’ll keep it cheap.”

I told him that the melon would sell well if it were chilled, and I bought as many melons as I could find.

Then the person I assumed to be his wife came out and thanked me for buying a luxury item and for taking care Edel.

As I put away the melon and other fruits I bought in the item box, Thomas-san told me that he envied me for having a magic bag.

Since Harry had a magic bag, I thought that the chairman of the company like him would have one, but it seems not.

After seeing how hard Edel worked, I went to Elvis’ store.

I got a signal “take me out”, so I asked his mother that I had something urgent to do with Elvis, and I handed her a premium set of yokan from a long-established shop.

The mother knows that her son is trying to skip the works, but she seems satisfied with the yokan.

Elvis and I don’t do anything in particular, so we just laze around.

At night Harry and I go to Hungry Bear to have a few drinks.

It’s been a while since he came to another world, but Ginjiro hopes that days like this will last forever.
