Dear Miss Eliaria Jamil.
I hope you are doing well.
I have left Gimul
and am now on my way
to a town called Lenaf.
I am going to open a second shop.
Wow, already?
That's really great of Mr. Ryoma.
Don't you think?
I wonder what's awaiting me
in this new town.
I can't wait to see what's ahead, Elia!
So, this is Lenaf.
It's a smaller town than Gimul
but very lively.
Well, then.
Mr. Pioro Saionji.
Ms. Glissela told me
that he can help me here.
Let's go see him first.
This must be Mr. Pioro's store.
Saionji Firm. Looks magnificent!
It looks very busy.
What should I do?
It might not be a good time to say hello.
Should I come back later?
But
Welcome!
How may I help you?
I'm sorry, I'm not here to buy anything.
I'm here to see Mr. Pioro Saionji.
You're looking for my dad?
Your dad?
Oh, I'm sorry.
Are you looking for my father?
Yes
What's going on here?
Dad.
He must be Mr. Pioro Saionji.
What's up, Miyabi?
Is he trying to seduce you?
No! What are you taking about?
He isn't?
How boring.
Why are you so disappointed?
Anyway. He was looking for you.
Is that so?
Nice to meet you.
I came from Gimul.
My name is Ryoma Takebayashi.
Ms. Glissela told me to come see you.
Oh, so you're Ryoma.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Pioro.
Ms. Glissela told me about you.
She said you have a fun laundry shop
where you make Slimes
wash your customers' clothes.
You're opening a second shop here, right?
In that case, you'll have to sign
a contract at the guild
and go through all kinds of procedures.
Don't worry, though.
I will help you every step of the way.
Thank you very much.
Huh?
What is it, Miyabi?
Well
A second shop?
Run by this kid? Seriously?
He looks about the same age as me.
The same age?
Ryoma is 11.
He's even a year younger than you.
Eleven?
You're overreacting.
Don't make Ryoma feel uncomfortable.
I'm sorry.
My name is Miyabi Saionji.
My father and I are very
pleased to meet you.
Me too.
Nice to meet you.
By the way,
the daughter of this shop's founder
was called Miyabi.
I named my daughter after her.
Right
Why do you have to tell him that?
May I ask what great
achievements she has made?
None.
She was just a cute salesgirl at the store
and lived a happy life.
I see.
So you want Miyabi to have a happy life?
No.
I thought if I named
my daughter after her,
the founder's good luck
would rub off on me.
It's for yourself?!
Sorry, I couldn't help it
No worries. You sounded like a comedian.
Right, Miyabi?
Yeah.
Anyway!
He needs to go the guild, right?
Just take him already!
Right.
Well, we left because she told us to,
but we don't really have
much to do at the guild.
What?
Granny Gli told me
to deal with it before you arrived.
I've already dealt with
all the complicated stuff
like contracts for your shop's land
and other applications.
And now,
you just have to confirm
some paperwork and sign.
That's all you have to do.
Thank you for doing all of that for me.
Well, after all, I don't want
Granny Gli to get upset.
Here we are.
Let's get it done.
Okay.
That building over there
is the Merchant Guild?
Looks amazing from the inside too.
You like it, Ryoma?
It's not bad, huh?
This place used to be a castle.
A castle?
The Merchant Guild is in a castle?
Not just the Merchant Guild.
The Adventurer Guild, the Magic Guild,
and the Dragoon Guild too.
There are four guilds in here.
Dragoon Guild?
You've never heard of it?
Take a look out the window.
This is amazing!
I've never seen so many
large monsters in one place.
All those monsters
belong to the Dragoon Guild.
Their job is to carry people and cargo.
All of them?
Flying monsters can transport
a large amount of cargo.
But, for that, we need all sorts of
equipment for the monsters.
That's why we're using this castle here.
I see.
But in that case, the other guilds
don't need to be in this castle.
That's the great thing about Lenaf.
The Adventurer Guild collects materials.
The Magic Guild processes those materials.
And those products are then
sold by the Merchant Guild
and delivered by the Dragoon Guild.
That is how this town
got to where it is today.
Actually, the ones who
came up with the idea
and built this town with the citizens
are my ancestors.
They even gave this place
the name "Airport."
Don't you think it's genius?
Yeah.
Right?
Airport
They just used a word from Earth.
I had a hunch when I heard that
his last name was Saionji.
But I guess Mr. Pioro's ancestors
really did reincarnated into this world.
The people before us left these
places to their descendants.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
They are here, Ryoma!
Coming!
Thank you, Mr. Pioro,
for helping me with everything.
Thanks to you, I can open
my second shop now.
You don't need to thank me for that.
Granny Gli saw something in you,
which means you have a promising future.
Since I helped you this time,
I'm sure you'll return the favor one day.
Of course.
That sounds good.
I'm looking forward to it.
Okay. Let's go see the shop.
Yes.
So this is the place?
Yeah. Not bad, isn't it?
By the way,
my store is right across the street.
You can come to me
whenever you need anything.
You even thought of that!
Thank you so much
for taking care of me!
I told you not to worry about it.
I'm a businessman.
Whether it's a favor or a product, I won't
miss the chance to get compensated.
Enough about me.
We can't keep standing here.
Let's go in. Come on.
Wait, Mr. Pioro.
The shop will be on the first floor.
And the second floor
has some meeting rooms.
The former owner's house is also yours.
You can use it as
a dormitory for employees.
What do you think?
It's great.
I can open up the business soon
after I get some furniture in here.
I'll contact my people in Gimul
and have them send help.
Drei.
Is that a Limour Bird?
Yes, I recently signed
a contract with them.
Granny Gli told me
that you can use Subordinate Magic.
But I didn't know you were so good
at both, management and magic.
Thank you, Drei.
Now we just need to wait for them.
Do you have a place to stay?
You hadn't thought of that, had you?
That's fine.
You can stay at my place
while you are here.
Really?
Of course.
I have a surprise dinner for you.
What?
Ryoma, you didn't have one decent meal
on your way here from Gimul, right?
Yeah, I didn't know
ready-made travel food was so bad.
Newbie Adventurers tend to choose
cheap and long-lasting foods.
None of them are tasty.
Don't worry.
I'll present you with a dinner
that is so good and rare
that you'll forget
all the bad food you've eaten.
Good and rare?
Miso soup, grilled fish, and rice?
What, Ryoma?
You know these dishes already?
It was meant as a surprise.
No, I am very surprised!
You can get miso here, Mr. Pioro?
Yeah, and not just miso.
Mirin, vinegar, and soy sauce, as well.
Soy sauce?
Mr. Ryoma, calm down.
I'm sorry.
If you like it so much,
I can give you some later.
Really?
Are you sure?
Okay, enough talk here.
You don't want the food to get cold.
Let's talk after eating.
Okay, Mr. Ryoma?
Yeah.
It's so good.
I missed it.
How come you missed this food so much?
Did you used to live in Dragon Village?
No.
My grandma used to make these for me.
That's why
No need to feel sorry.
I'm happy to see you're enjoying dinner.
Also, I'm a bit relieved now.
What?
There's a side of you
that fits your age after all.
Managing your own shop at 11
and even opening a second one.
I think you are amazing.
I'm not.
I'm just lucky.
Everyone around me has
been taking care of me.
I had a lot of help as well.
I think it's amazing enough
for you to be so honest at your age.
Compared to you, Miyabi is not so
What, dad?
This's exactly it.
You should learn from Ryoma
how to choose your words.
Do you think you can make friends at
the Academy in Imperial Capital like that?
I'm so worried about her.
You are going to the Academy, Miss Miyabi?
Yeah.
To get to know more people
as a future merchant.
It's so hard and troublesome
to build connections with people.
I don't want to go there at all.
You really don't want to go, huh?
So, Ryoma.
What are you going to do tomorrow?
It should take a while for my people
to get here from Gimul,
so I'll go find some stuff for the shop
while also looking for Adventurer jobs.
You are an Adventurer as well, Mr. Ryoma?
Yes, but I'm only at Level E now.
Level E
Even though it's impressive
considering your age
Is there a problem?
Mr. Ryoma.
There aren't many job offers
for Level E right now.
What?
A strong monster
appeared in the vicinity of this town.
That's why there aren't many offers
for simple tasks outside of the town.
It sometimes comes into town too.
It's affecting our business.
What monster is it?
Level D, Smash Boar.
Smash Boar
For some reason,
that name sounds familiar to me.
Right! I heard it from Gain
before I reincarnated.
They suggested that I use
some people's life story
to create my identity in this world.
Apparently, those people also
wanted me to inherit their stuff
they left behind in their hometown.
At least, that's what Gain told me.
And their hometown, Sea of Trees of Syrus,
has many strong monsters
and is one of the most
dangerous areas in the world.
They said, if I'm going there,
I should first gain some experience
of fighting similar monsters.
Smash Boar is one of those monsters.
Mr. Ryoma?
What were you thinking about?
Nothing.
Smash Boar is the monster
I've wanted to fight against.
-What?
-What?
Isn't that great, Ryoma?
Go fight it then.
But you must bring it back to me.
I can sell that boar's meat
at a good price
Dad.
What are you talking about?
Mr. Ryoma is Level E.
What if he gets hurt?
I know that. Of course.
I was just kidding.
Don't get so angry.
You shouldn't joke about things like that.
It's not funny at all.
You're so stupid.
Help me out, Ryoma.
Um
Sorry, Ryoma.
I can't leave the store today.
Miyabi will keep you company.
Take good care of him, Miyabi.
Leave it to me.
See you.
So, Mr. Ryoma.
Where are we going first?
Let me see.
I want to make some furniture for my shop,
so I need some wood.
Wood? No problem.
Seems like he started already.
Ryoma, how's it going?
I'm taking a break and came to see
What What are these?
Miyabi, what's going on?
I have no idea either.
Mr. Ryoma, what are these?
They are Slimes.
-No way.
-No way.
You've got to be kidding me!
Yeah. How can Slimes use tools?
I taught them.
-Seriously?
-Seriously?
Well, let's call it a day.
I'm going to the Adventurer Guild.
Okay.
Take care.
I will.
Watch out for the Smash Boar, Mr. Ryoma!
Run away if you see it!
That's what she said.
But now that I'm outside
the town's borders,
there's not much I can really do
if it comes to attack me.
They were right about
the lack of job offers, though.
There are so few offers for Level E.
All I could find was herb collecting.
Well, there's no point in moping around.
Let's get it started, Slimes.
Time to work.
That should be enough.
Maybe even a bit too much.
Elia.
She wrote back so quickly.
Mr. Ryoma, thank you for your letter.
Congratulations on the second shop.
It made me so happy
that I told my family about it.
Everybody was very happy the hear
that your business is going well.
It's unbelievable that
you opened a second shop
so soon after you started your business.
Please keep that spirit
and expand your business
to many cities and towns.
And
If possible,
I hope you can open one
in the Imperial Capital.
It made me think
I might be able to see you
much sooner, if that were the case.
Mr. Ryoma.
As your business is growing,
I'm sure you're busier now.
Please don't push yourself too hard
and take care of yourself.
I will.
Thank you, Elia.
Smash Boar!
