Light, Becoming a Merchant?
The next day after returning from the dark elf village.
I was visiting McQueen-san's usual lodging with Lida. The purpose was to take Lida and a greeting, report that I will be attending the academy next year, and discuss our future business dealings.
When I was waiting for McQueen-san with Lida, I felt like I was a boyfriend coming to get his daughter. It's that kind of situation. I'm kind of nervous...
However, I felt a little relieved when McQueen-san greeted me with a big smile on his face.
"Please take care of Lida-san, Light-san."
McQueen-san bowed as he said that, and I bowed my head as well, saying, [I'll make Lida-san happy. Thank you].
McQueen-san talked about Lida's situation in the Republic for a while, and Lida turned bright red when she heard his words.
"Well, ever since she met Light-san, Lida-san's expressions have become more expressive. When you part, she smiles, and when you meet again, she smiles. Hahaha."
McQueen-san looks really happy as he talks about Lida and laughs. Lida, it seems like McQueen-san was your father. That was good.
I felt that way and ended up patting Lida's head.
Lida looked at me with a puzzled look on her face, but then turned her head down again, her face turning bright red.
"When I helped Lida-san, I had profit and loss. But as we have been together for a long time, I have grown fond of her. Until today, I have made her feel uncomfortable because of my in-between relationship with neither my family nor my business associates. I'm sorry. Stop thinking of repaying me and be happy at Light-san's place."
McQueen-san held Lida's hand and spoke gently to her. Lida was at a loss for words, but she told McQueen-san, [Thank you very much].
Once the two had calmed down, I told him that I was going to the royal capital to attend the academy next year. At that time, I revealed my [transfer magic] as the reason why we would be able to do business from next year onwards, and he isn't too surprised. [No. It's Light-san, so I'm not really surprised].
After listening to the story, McQueen-san thought for a while before speaking.
The content is that McQueen-san and I will set up a trading company in the royal capital. The reason was that McQueen-san was apparently favored by the wife of a southern duke's family. She asked him to deliver and sell daily necessities and other items to her daughter who will be attending the academy next year.
However, McQueen-san only visits once a year as a peddler. Since that would be an inconvenience for her daughter, there are plans to open a branch in the royal capital. He wants me to be a part of this.
"If there is a branch in the royal capital, Light-san can sell your goods at any time. Also, the academy is not a boarding school, so you need to secure a place to live. I think it would be convenient for Light-san if you could use the branch as your place of residence."
I thought about it for a while.
For McQueen-san, selling to the duke's daughter alone is not profitable. He wants to have a branch to handle imports from the Republic, and he wants to use the sales of my products to make up for the shortage of imported products alone.
And it's convenient for me too. If it's a house of someone who knows my situation, I can use transfer magic as I like, and I can sell goods as I like.
When I finished thinking, I turned to McQueen-san and said, [Please].
McQueen-san and I shook hands passionately.
