KT Chapter 264

Happy Monday!

Here’s the chapter, enjoy.

---

Well, it had already been a week since we moved the orphanage to the farm. As for how things were going after switching over to doing business at the clan house…it wasn’t going too smoothly.

As expected, the location was not good, so not many people came. As a countermeasure, we did something similar to home delivery for our neighbors, but the new feudal lord had imposed a tax to enter into the inner wall, so it was difficult.

The inner wall, maa, it was the former outer wall, but there was, naturally, a secret path from a long time ago. I was indebted to it the first time I went to Dragon Forest, but that place was where the orphanage was, so I was not able to use it now.

That’s right, speaking of the orphanage, the plot of land had safely(?) become the new feudal lord’s possession. It seems that he was surprised that the building was no longer there, but he didn’t mind it and was considering selling it for a high price. Thinking about it a little, no, if it were someone who was somewhat smart, they might’ve noticed the existence of an『Item Box』as to why it had disappeared….

Incidentally, this was information that I had received from a neighbor.

Going back to what I was saying, we were also doing home delivery and it was not easy, so we delivered & set up the stall every few days. It turned into every few days because the townspeople thought that it would be a waste, even though they had always taken care of us and I had said that we could do it every day since the entry tax was not that expensive. Maa, we had a lot of goods, so if we sold a lot of them cheaply, then we would be able to continue our current lifestyle.

What worried me were the adventurers. If it were the mid-ranked adventurers, even if we weren’t there, they would be able to make do somehow. For the new adventurers, it seems that our medicines, potions, and weapon maintenance were indispensable and we had received advice from several people in Dragon Forest.

Certainly, the adventurers from the orphanage were self-sufficient, so they’re able to manage it somehow, and the children who just became adventurers would be taken care of by those who were older than them in the adventurer group. However, it seems that the new adventurers who had no relationship with us were, in any case, troubled. 

Everyday, there were the lodging fees, cost of the meals, weapon and armor maintenance fees, medicine, luggage, clothing, and other miscellaneous goods. With just the guild’s low retaining fee, it would be very difficult to make a living.

And then we appeared. As expected, there was nothing we could do about the lodging fees, but we sold the food and medicine that we made as practice cheaply, and we did weapon maintenance at a low price. Though the secret to the low price was that they were made by the new people in the productions group, when it comes to the food, meat dishes were secretly popular when you could eat to your heart’s content.

Those who came were new people who were brought over by the regulars, so we gave them extra freebies, but when the vulgar adventurers came, it seems that they received a harsh reception, which they deserved. Thanks to this food stall, before we knew it, the number of adventurers that we were acquainted with increased.

However, such a food stall was far away. There were a lot of newcomers who stayed at the cheap inns that were recommended by the guild, but it was far from the guild, but on the contrary, was surprisingly close to the orphanage, so it was near the food stall as well. However, currently, the food stall was at the clan house, so it was far away! The newcomers completed a large amount of requests due to the low retaining fee and were somehow making a living. Because of that, they would want to be in Dragon Forest for as long as possible, so the time spent going over there was wasteful.

The customers that we had at the food stall that we had up until now were mostly our neighbors and adventurers. The neighbors came here, and this somehow managed to solve the issue. Then what should we do for the adventurers. It would be good if they came over here as well. And so, 

「Ojii-san, can we set up a food stall in Dragon Forest?」
