Chapter 115: Leymus’ Kindness



Chapter 115: Leymus’ Kindness

On Michelle’s recommendation, I went to Betzel the next day.

I intend to open a branch if we can come to an agreement on location, shop rent (or perhaps, land rent), and taxes.

With this, little it may be, it was still an increase in profits. That would still help me level up.

Betzel’s lord, Leymus-san, was in his office when we arrived, and I was able to meet him without waiting.

Since the only means of communication in this world is by letter, miscommunication is an everyday occurrence.

I hadn’t really expected I would be able to go and see him today.

I even thought that I would have to wait at a hotel for a couple of days when Leymus-san was away.

My place has the assembly glider, but that was an exception.

The assembly glider has a propeller enchanted with Flight Magic, and it flies to a place or person the user has in mind.

It could also be an excellent alternative to a letter if you write a message on its wings.

However, the government has directly banned the sale of these gliders to the general public.

The King himself has told me that I must not sell it not only to the foreign countries, but even to adventurers.

Information is a tremendous weapon in military and diplomatic affairs.

The enemy may seriously benefit from the act of selling assembly gliders.

Though I say that, I’m not forbidden to give them as gifts to neighboring lords.

Since there will be a lot of messages exchanged between neighbors, I had distributed a few to Leymus-san as well.

Ah, that’s right, I should also send out a glider to Prime Minister Essel.

As for the reason, well, I’m going to tell him about the Mani 4WD.

He might send a messenger to pick up a batch of those from Luganda.

He’s probably under a lot of stress from his heavy workload in his new station, so I’d at least let him relieve some of his frustrations with my toys.

[Welcome, Yahagi-san. I’m glad you arrived!]

Leymus-san greeted me in the living room.

His wife and children were also there.

It was quite a welcome, to have the whole family here to greet us.

I suppose we could expect good results.

[Hello, Yahagi-san. We have gotten good at operating Mobile Force!]

[I can also now make my Gyan dance!]

Hansel and Gretel have big smiles on their faces.

[That’s good to hear. Michelle is also good at dancing with Mobile Force, you know? Would you like to dance with her together?]

[Yes, with pleasure.]

[I also brought some souvenirs.]

I first took out a Zako Mk II.

[Whoa, a new Mobile Force!]

Hansel happily accepted the gift.

[Brother, let me see too!]

Gretel, who had the Zako Mk II snatched by her older brother, waved her small hands in frustration.

[Gretel-san, I still have more souvenirs here. Look, this is a new product, the Mani 4WD.]

[Oh my!]

As I handed Gretel the Mani 4WD, Leymus couple came up to me.

[Yahagi-san, what kind of item is that?]

Leymus-san peered at the item in Gretel’s hand with great interest.

Being the toy-loving couple that they are, I’ve already expected a situation like this.

That being the case, I took out three more Mani 4WDs and a race course.

[These products are to be played with by running them on this course. You can customize them as well.]

I explained the details of the Mani 4WD.

As they listened, the family members assembled the 4WDs’ frame one after another.

[I see, changing the type of chassis (the base frame of a motor vehicle) changes the form of customization.]

[The motor you should choose depends on the type of course.]

[Whether to focus on power or top speed…… That is the question……]

Don’t this couple understand too much too soon……?

[Y- You seem to know a lot, don’t you?]

The Leymus couple were so absorbed in the 4WD that they replied without even lifting their heads.

[Our Leymus family has been involved with magic tools for generations. My wife Emma also has the same hobby.]

[I- I see……]

Soon after, each of the 4WDs were assembled.

[Then, let’s have a family race!]

They’re gonna race right away huh.

No matter, I guess I’ll give them a start signal as an additional gift……

An hour later.

[Well, Yahagi-san, we really enjoyed ourselves. It’s a really fun toy.]

Leymus-san shook my hand, excitement visible on his face.

[I’m glad you enjoyed it. To tell you the truth, we have a lot more customized goods. I’ll bring them to you again next ti——- Ouch, ouch……]

Leymus-san’s eyes widened mid-conversation, and the grip on his hand tripled in strength.

[I- I’m sorry! I got too excited.]

No, it’s fine……

Leymus-san embarrassedly changed the subject.

[By the way, did you come here today just to give us presents? You didn’t, right?]

Oops, with how excited Leymus family were, the main purpose of my visit slipped out of my mind.

[Actually, we would like to open a branch of Dagashi Yahagi in Betzel, so I’m here to ask for Leymus-san’s permission————-]

[Let’s build it!]

Too fast!

.

Even faster than a Mani 4WD!

[Is that alright!?]

[Will you also be selling MF and Mani 4WDs at that branch?]

[Yes, we also plan to sell modification parts and useful tools.]

I have already asked Sanaga-san to make nippers, which are used to cut out the pieces of plastic models.

[Please bring it out! Leave the location to us!]

[Errr, what about taxes and permit———-]

[No tax will be charged! You can just pay a small amount of rent!]

[T- Thank you very much……]

It’s going better than I expected.

[Darling, let’s have the store right next to our mansion. That will make it more convenient for us.]

[You’re right, convenience of access is the most important. We can have that warehouse on the corner renovated for Yahagi-san’s use. With that, shopping there would just be a 2-minute walking distance away!]

L- Let’s not say anything here.

I decided to just take advantage of Leymus-san’s kindness.
