Infinite Gacha - Chapter 213

Good, and ...... yeah, it's clean."

In the corner of the city centered around the "Giant Tower," a girl finishes sweeping and cleaning the front of a store.

She - Silica - carries the trash can to the back of the store and places it in the designated position.

The system was set up so that a garbage collector would come by every other day to collect the contents of the garbage cans.

After she finishes cleaning the store, she goes inside to wash her hands and get ready for work.

undefinedI've got a new girl coming in today, and I don't want to leave my dirty clothes on, so I've got to get dressed.

Silica washes her dirty hands, returns to her private room, removes her soiled cleaning clothes, and changes into something clean and laundered.

She is the girl who was rescued by the Mohicans near the Giant Tower.

She and her parents were peddlers, traveling back and forth between the human kingdoms.

On the way, they were attacked by monsters and her parents died.

Silica was lucky to survive, but it was difficult for the human girl to survive on her own, and she was reduced to a slave.

After some twists and turns, she was bought as a slave by the elves, who made her walk through the virgin forest as a leader and bait for the monsters.

However, on the way, the elves were attacked by monsters, and her parents and the people around her died. She was frightened that she too would be eaten, but the monsters ignored her and disappeared into the forest.

Later, when she left the forest with the help of the Mohicans, her ownership was transferred to a racial (human) merchant.

While she thought she would live and die as a slave, a race (human) woman who calls herself the "Witch of the Giant Tower" has fallen to the Elven Queen State.

The "Witch of the Giant Tower" made the Elven Queen recognize the "absolute independence of the human race" and declared it as an official law in the country, prohibiting the enslavement of the human race.

Thanks to this, the slaves held by the merchants who were doing business near the entrance to the primeval forest - Silica herself - were caught by this law, and were taken in by the "Giant Tower.

Thereafter, former human slaves were gathered and the population grew at an accelerating rate.

In the beginning, the area around the "Giant Tower" was cleared and cleared of trees for around 100 meters, but ...... now it is several kilometers away. The area was developed over a distance of 1.5 kilometers.

Houses, fields, wells, and stores are being built one after another.

The main attraction is an orphanage and school.

Under the direction of the "Witch of the Tower," young children are sent to school.

At the school, children were gathered together, somewhat forcibly, to learn to read, write, calculate, exercise, and cultivate themselves.

The orphanage was managed and the children were cared for by a former slave woman.

The school teachers were fairy maids.

Silica, at her age, could have attended the school. ......

"Huh,...... I didn't think that because I can read, write, calculate, and be polite, I couldn't enroll because it would be pointless to enter now,......."

While changing clothes, I remember and let out a sigh.

Silica, being the daughter of a former peddler, had a good foundation in reading, writing, math, and etiquette.

Schools exist to teach these minimum basics.

It is meaningless for those who have already mastered them to attend.

Rather, the "Giant Tower" side wanted Silica, a former peddler's daughter, to do something else.

That is - the operation of a store.

I never thought I would be the one to make my fathers' dreams come true,.......

A young girl utters a mature line with a sigh as she pulls on the sleeves of a simple one-piece dress.

For a race (human) peddler, owning a store is a typical dream.

Compared to peddlers who go from place to place, it is overwhelmingly less dangerous, and they can lead a stable life, which is the reason for its popularity.

However, it is not easy to set up a store.

The reason is that it requires a huge amount of money.

Therefore, the only way is for parents and children to save money from generation to generation, or to make a fortune as an adventurer, or to get lucky and find a patron.

In a sense, Silica was lucky enough to find a patron, the "Witch of the Giant Tower," and set up store.

So why did "The Gigantic Tower" entrust Silica with one of its stores?

The "Beast Race Massacre" - it is not called so in the "City of Titans" but is called the "Race (Human) Hostage Rescue Incident.

This "Human Hostage Rescue Incident" caused the population of the area around the "Giant Tower" to exceed 10,000 people.

There was enough land, buildings, and infrastructure to accommodate the population with the help of fairy maids and dragons working for the "Giant Tower Witch," but not enough people with ...... special skills.

The most important thing to remember is that the people who are in the area are not the only ones who have the experience of being a tradesman, and Silica, the daughter of a former peddler, has a certain level of experience as a tradesman.

(I had appealed to the fairy maid to get at least one more person ...... because it would be too much work for just one person, but she only had ...... men to help me. (There weren't any.)

Adult men with merchant experience were made to own and operate stores as well as silicas.

As a result, only men were available to take charge of assistance.

Silica shivered reflexively.

She was bought as a slave by an elven male and forced to walk through the virgin forest as a herder and bait for the monsters.

Later, the elf species was eaten from the head by the monster ...... "Snake Hellhound" and rescued by the Mohicans.

He was sold off to a racial trader, but was treated with care.

Thanks to the Mohawks and the race merchants, I am not that phobic about men, but as a silica, I am still more comfortable with women than men.

To be honest, Silica did not have the guts to live under the same roof with a complete stranger.

However, it is physically demanding for a girl to manage a store by herself.

So she pleaded with the fairy maids for more female employees, but most of them were former slaves or mere villagers, and few of them had mastered the calculations, etiquette, reading, and writing necessary for business.

Even if they were, they were prioritized for other important facilities.

(At this point, it would be better for me to be the main worker, assisting and teaching women who have a good memory of things. (At first, the workload on me will be heavy, but once she grows up, it will be a lot easier. ......)

The lack of so many appropriate personnel has also led me to think about such things.

But the heavens had not abandoned Silica.

The fairy maid tells us that she has found someone who meets Silica's request.

It seems that she is a girl whose parents were peddlers and were killed by a monster, just like her.

She can read, write, calculate, and behave with courtesy, so there is no need for her to attend school, and she herself is hoping to be involved in the business.

When Silica received this call, she was moved to the level of having been saved by the Mohicans.

She said, "Now I don't have to do everything by myself anymore, like picking up the goods, putting them out, cleaning, preparing for the opening, serving customers, bookkeeping, reporting, processing the purchase of goods, etc.!"

After hearing the report from the fairy maid, she goes crazy in her room upstairs.

Her savior, a girl, was to visit the store today.

Therefore, she closed the store, carefully cleaned the surroundings, and put on her cleanest clothes sleeves in an attempt to make a good impression.

Excuse me."

!　They're here!"

As Silica finishes her preparations, she hears voices coming from the front of the store on the first floor.

She descended the stairs, pausing at the door to fix her hair, breathe, and check her clothes for disorder.

When she is sure there are no problems, she opens the door.

In front of her stands a beautiful girl who shares her struggles with Silica.

'Nice to meet you, I'm Mikie, I'll be working here from today.

She had a somewhat flirtatious smile, but a beautiful girl with good looks as good as a fairy maid stood before her.
