I'm running late!
RYOMA TAKEBAYASHI
Dear Miss Eliaria Jamil.
I hope you are doing well.
It's been a while since I left your house
and started living in the town of Gimul.
BAMBOO FOREST EMPLOYEE
LILYN
Life has been treating me well here.
Good morning.
I'm sorry I'm late.
That's a first.
I was working on my research on Slimes
and didn't notice what time it was.
Okay, we'll make sure
to clean your clothes.
Next customer, please.
It looks brand new!
There's no dirt Bamboo Forest can't clean.
BAMBOO FOREST EMPLOYEE
MARIA
Good morning, manager.
Good morning, everyone.
How's everything going?
Good.
Leave it to us.
Great.
Good morning.
Good morning, manager.
Let's get this day started.
Everybody is doing their best.
Therefore, as their manager,
I'm hoping to create a nice
work environment for them.
Good morning, everyone.
Let's start another productive day!
-Yes!
-Yes!
So, from tomorrow,
it would be great if you could come
to work at around the same time as today.
Why?
You guys are always busy in the morning.
Because, when you come before we open up,
you do all the preparations by yourself.
Then, the employees
won't have any work to do.
We still have to train some newcomers.
You should take the opportunity
to get used to giving orders.
Leave the work up to your employees.
I never thought I was stealing their work
I see.
Let's do it as you say.
And I have a suggestion for you.
What is it?
It's regarding our second shop
What's going on?
Hold on.
I'll be done in a second.
What did they do?
These two came to complain that
we didn't clean their clothes well enough.
But I just heard people laughing.
That's because
Hey! You didn't clean it at all!
Look at the dirt
Oh, it's so clean
Damn you!
Didn't I tell you to
make it absolutely filthy?
But I did!
Idiots.
What?
Did you just call us idiots?
I'm taking them to the police.
That's why everyone was laughing.
I see.
Troublemakers never go away.
That's why I said there's no dirt
that Bamboo Forest can't clean.
I have to build a better security system.
Glass
Miss Carla.
Yes?
There's something I want to try.
I need to go to the abandoned mines.
First, I'll make the Sticky Slimes secrete
Hardening Sticky Solution.
Then, use the Decomposition Magic Circle
to remove the water.
Add in some more
Hardening Sticky Solution,
and mix it using the Mixing Magic Circle.
Now, I need to remove the water again.
Repeat that process a few times,
and condense
the Hardening Sticky Solution.
Finally, I'll shape it into a board.
Not even Strengthened Magic
will be able to break it.
And it's transparent,
so that we could use it for our windows.
It can be used as a security measure
to protect the employees and customers.
Everyone, I want to make more of this.
Can you help me?
That should be enough.
Let's call it a day.
I've never seen this slime.
Appraisal.
Medicine Slime.
I don't remember
signing a contract with it.
Did it evolve from another slime?
It has the skill of Spear Mastery.
Does it mean
it was originally a Poison Slime?
But why did a Poison Slime
turn into a Medicine Slime?
Yesterday, a bottle of antidote
fell from the shelf.
Oh no! I need a rag!
Oh?
I thought a Cleaner Slime
had helped me clean it up.
But maybe
They're drinking the antidote!
So the evolved form of Poison Slime
is indeed Medicine Slime.
Well then
Let's see what kind of
medicine you can make.
Wow, that's a lot of different drugs.
Appraisal.
Ointment.
Styptic.
Antidote.
Poison - immediate effect.
Poison - delayed effect.
Paralyzing Agent - instant effect.
Paralyzing Agent - delayed effect.
Antibacterial Medicine.
There are so many.
So both, Poison Slimes and Medicine
Slimes, can create liquid medicine.
What's this Antibacterial Medicine?
"A liquid with a strong
antibacterial effect
that kills bacteria and viruses
but is harmless to the human body."
So, it's a disinfectant!
This might come in handy.
I will do the things
that are within my power.
One by one.
I don't want to worry the Jamils
who invited me to come with them.
That reminds me.
I've been so busy lately,
I didn't even get a chance
to say hello to the gods.
I should go to the church tomorrow.
He's doing something fun again.
Welcome.
What brings you here today?
I want to pray.
I see.
Come on in then.
Thank you.
That's strange.
I thought it would transport me
to the gods' world like usual,
but nothing is happening.
Well, I guess it doesn't
happen every time.
Is this place?
Oh, it's the same as usual.
Just a bit slower than before.
Sorry.
I rarely use this power,
so it took me a while.
I've never seen him before.
But since he's here, it probably means
Nice to meet you.
I just started living
on my own in this town,
so I came to say hello.
Hello!
I'm the God of Craftsmanship, Tekun.
You can just call me Tekun.
And no need to be polite to me.
I can see into your heart if I want.
So there's no point in hiding.
I don't care for formalities.
Sit down.
I'll keep it casual then.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Ryoma Takebayashi.
Are those
the ones I made?
Yes.
I wanted to have a better look at them.
So I made some copies.
So, they're like replicas.
You are a human from Earth, right?
Yes.
I was working at a company
with terrible working conditions.
One night, I sneezed in my sleep
and died.
Then the gods took me in
and had me reincarnate as a boy
in this world.
Yeah, so I heard.
I've only heard stories
about the other world
but their technologies
are very interesting.
Like making figures?
Things from other cultures created
with foreign technology interest me,
since I'm the God of Craftsmanship.
But, because I'm the God of Craftsmanship,
I know all the technologies of this world.
So, the technologies of other worlds
are foreign to you and interest you.
Exactly.
And, by just looking at these figures,
you can tell that they were
very carefully made.
This is not your main job,
but you must have
spent lots of time doing this.
It's my hobby to make crafts.
In my world,
I could sell them at a pretty good price.
And some people offered me
good payment for custom-made figures.
Since I got paid, I had to do my best.
Yes, of course.
But many in the world
don't feel the same way.
As the God of Craftsmanship,
I like those who put
their heart into their work.
I see.
Oh, are you the only one here today?
Yes.
All the others are doing
whatever they want.
The Goddess of War, the God of Magic
and the Goddess of Land.
They might all be the pure gods to you.
But they have their preferred places.
And they built their homes there,
as you humans call it.
I see. I didn't know that.
So this is your home?
No, I don't have a home.
Because I am the God of Craftsmanship.
And there are craftsmen
all over the world.
They live in different places,
so I have to visit different places
once in a while.
This place is connected
with the world you live in.
You can ask the others about the details.
I can't explain it well.
If it were Fernobelia,
he would've given you
a better explanation.
Fernobelia?
I've never heard of that name.
Oh, you don't know him?
He's the God of Magic.
The God of Magic and
Academics, Fernobelia.
Although he's always in his own world
which is quite unfamiliar for us,
he's the most knowledgeable
and eloquent one.
But even as a god myself,
I hardly ever see him.
I don't know if you'll ever have
the chance to meet him in person.
There are so many gods and goddesses.
Yes.
Time is up.
There's still a lot I wanted to tell you.
I will come back.
Okay, I'll be waiting.
Thank you.
Thank you for your donation.
No problem. I will come back again.
It's about time to go to the shop.
I came a bit later today.
How is everything?
All good.
Our new staff is getting
used to their work too.
That's great to hear.
Well, boss,
I heard there's something
you wanted to talk about.
Yes, it's about the shop's windows.
Anyone could break the glass
and enter the shop, right?
Yeah.
Anyone can easily break in
with a hammer or an axe.
We have been keeping an eye on that.
Thank you all so much.
Now, I have an idea.
As long as the windows are unbreakable,
it will certainly be easier
for the security staff.
I'm thinking of replacing
the glasses with these.
They're made of a very strong material.
Boss.
Can I try to break it?
Of course. Go ahead.
I have more, so it's okay if you break it.
Let me hold it for you.
Here I come.
That's amazing!
Not even a scratch.
Did you make it, manager?
Yes.
It could be a popular item for sale.
I don't plan to sell it, though.
Because I can't make too many at once.
I see.
That's too bad.
Lilyn.
Try with Strengthened Magic.
Right.
It's very hard indeed.
If we replace the windows with these,
it'll definitely be hard to break in.
On the other hand,
in case of an emergency,
we won't be able to break
the windows to get out either.
Right. That's true.
I didn't think of that.
But it'll be perfect to keep invaders out.
We could replace some of
the windows with these
to reduce the chance of break-ins.
Knowing the downsides
will let us find a way to cope with it.
I see.
Let's replace the windows, then.
Is that okay with all of you?
-Yes.
-Yes.
I'll get on it right away.
Manager.
Don't you have a meeting later with
Mr. Serge of Morgan Trading Company?
I'd forgotten about that.
We'll replace the windows.
That would be great.
Manager, there was something
I wanted to talk to you about yesterday.
What is it?
About opening a second shop
in another town.
Oh, right.
I think it's a bit of a rush.
Is it?
We have more staff now.
Can you reconsider it?
Okay.
I'll think about it.
I just opened my shop here in Gimul.
I think it's still too early
to open a new shop in another town.
I want to build an even better
relationship with the people
I met in this town.
Welcome, Mr. Ryoma.
Hello, Mr. Serge.
I'm here to buy something for myself.
I see.
What are you looking for?
I want to purchase
medicine bottles in bulk.
In bulk?
Yes.
I have more free time now.
So I want to make more medicine.
As an Adventurer,
I get injured pretty often.
I want to take precautions.
I see.
But if you want a large
amount of medicine bottles,
I recommend registering as a pharmacist
at the Merchant Guild.
You can get them for a much lower price
if you purchase as
a registered pharmacist.
All right.
You're here to purchase medicine bottles?
Yes.
Mr. Serge recommended this place to me.
So how is your skill?
Right.
This one is an antidote.
And this is a disinfectant.
Oh.
You are pretty good.
If you can make these medicines,
you should be able
to make a living as a pharmacist.
I don't plan on that for now.
Well, for now, you should focus on
opening up a second shop.
-Why
-What is it?
Nothing.
It's just that Miss Carla, who works
in my shop, also mentioned that.
But I think it's too early.
I would say you can manage
a second shop perfectly well.
Really?
If it's because you don't
have enough money,
you can sell medicines as a side business.
Or, I can buy all of them.
All of them?
I have high expectations for you.
I still think it's too soon
for another shop.
A Limour Bird.
It must be a letter from Elia.
Mr. Ryoma, thank you for your letter.
I've just finished a long journey
and am resting at home for now.
My family is doing well.
And so are the Slimes
you left with me.
Knowing that you are working hard,
I feel like I should make
the most of my time as well.
What should I do next?
About opening a second
shop in another town.
I would say you can manage
a second shop perfectly well.
A second shop
Elia.
It seems like I'm about to get busy too.
