Chapter 35

“Bei! Where have you been!?”

Ah, I forgot I was babysitting.

“Oh, Salibari. How’s your day going?”

Without showing a trace of what he had forgotten, he raised his hand naturally and smiled.

“I wasn’t playing!　Why did you leave me alone?”

“Sorry sorry, hora, let’s go home.”

I completely ignored Salibari’s words. If you react, you’ll be killed unreasonably.

I’ll slow down the carriage and make it easier to ride when I get to Salibari.

Ahoko-chan was born and raised in the countryside. You can’t live without enough athletic nerves to ride a running carriage.

”This girl?”

“One of the child in the village. Babysitting is also an important job.”

“I’m the one babysitting!”

Fists are flying, but his body is soooo sturdy (but still meaty) that he can hold five tons of stuff and not be afraid of it. It doesn’t hurt to be hit a thousand times by Salibari. It’s annoying, though.

I’ll take it home with me in a casual manner, following Salibari’s words.

It seems that he left the country without saying anything, and he got her fist, but education in the countryside was like that, regardless of gender. He left Salibari without a care in the world.

“It’s idyllic,”

Kaichou muttered mournfully.

“Did you come from the countryside too, Kaichou-san?”

“Fufu. You’re very sensitive to people’s emotions too. Ah, I was the fourth son in a family in the countryside.”

“All I can see is tears,”

The fourth and fifth boy child was treated a little bit better than slaves in this country. They can’t leave the house and can’t get married. They end their lives just helping out in the house.

As a way out, they can become adventurers, mercenaries, or if they are lucky, apprentices of merchants or artisans, but it is not so easy for one to say that uneducated countryside men could rise to power.

Most of them will die or live the life of a servant. It’s nothing short of a miracle that he can be as successful as Kaichou. It wouldn’t have been an ordeal to be described in a day or two.

“Well, it’s a life that never gets old.”

“That’s not the kind of life I’m cut out for.”

I don’t deny the chairman’s way of life. But I don’t wish for the days to go by without change. I want to live slowly and savor every day.

“You’re so young, yet you felt dead.”

“I don’t want to hear that from an old man who’s still running around. It’s just killing the rest of us.”

One-man management is good when you are doing it, but when you become the second generation, you lose momentum, and if you are not good at it, you may collapse. What’s more, this is the world. The rise and fall of a business can be measured in days. Even the Great Society of Commerce would have lasted for a hundred years.

“My ears hurt.”

Maa, people who are rushing through the streets don’t look back. When you trip and fall, you can barely see your surroundings. (I’m just talking about my rule of thumb).

“Well, it’s not too late to be still running around. People with magic can live a long time.”

If you’re a believer in ‘don’t think, feel it,’ you can pretty much feel the magic of the other person, and it’s easier to discover demons and monsters.

“Talking to Bei is like talking to your best friend of many years.”

“I’m flattered to hear that from a great merchant.”

Life in the countryside is good, but there is no one I can talk to. So, it’s quite fun to talk with people my age (mentally, that is).
