Chapter 37
Today, the Haslot market has one new thing.
It was a large green building built in the middle of Heslot road.
The expensive green dye was scattered in the large building.
A small four-story building that was originally renovated from an old building in front of it has a luxurious look that is a little out of line with the market.
So, among the people who use the market, there is a lot of talk about the purpose of that development.
Some said the building would be a luxury pub, others said it would be a luxury inn.
The similarity of opinion was that they all expected it to be a place that sold extremely expensive items.
And today, finally, a big sign hangs in that building.
People who were busy walking down the street would slow down while looking at the signage one by one.
The signage written in handwriting as lavish as the exterior of the building seemed to match the noble district, Sedakyuna Street.
"Clothing shop?"
Hanson, who had a large fruit shop nearby, muttered as he stared at the shiny board.
"Isn't the name supposed to be a boutique?"
Robert, who runs the bakery next to Hanson's shop, came and said.
"OKAY. If it's a boutique I've been there once, I've never heard of a clothing store again."
"What do I know."
Robert grumbled, slightly disliked by the presence of shimmering buildings towering between shabby buildings.
"By the way, are you going to use all those big buildings as boutiques?"
Margaret, the ceramic shop right next to the clothing store building, asked as she joined the conversation of the men.
"if it was me, I would have made this big boutique in Sedakyuna, but someone built this in the Heslot market."
Others agree with Hanson's words.
But even so, they could not take their eyes off the dark green building.
That was. The closed clothes shop door opened and a young woman greeted the merchants with a smiling face.
"Hello!"
She was not very decorated, but she was a woman with an appearance that made the person who saw her unable to take their eyes off her.
"I'm Violet, the manager of the 'Gallahan Clothing Store'! I will be a part of you in the future!"
Originally the middle manager of the textile department at the top of Lombardy, he was now scouted by Clerivan and transferred here.
he had already dealt with all sorts of textile merchants from all over the empire, so dealing with a stubborn person was as familiar as breathing.
Hearing Violet's fresh greeting, the merchants nodded and shouted.
And Felicia, the bakery hostess, couldn't stand it and asked Violet.
"That dress shop is like a fancy boutique?."
"We are a little different from the boutique. Think of it as a place that sells apparel!"
"The clothes I made before?"
People were confused as they looked at each other's faces in turn.
Familiar with her reaction, Violet said with a smile.
"The shop opens in two days. Come see it once! You will be able to buy clothes for less than 2 silvers!"
The people who winked a few times at his words immediately laughed.
"Yes, Dude! Young people are good at kidding!"
"How can a suit sold in a place like this be 2 silver! No matter how cheap you go to the dressing room, you have to pay 50 silver!"
"I have to give 1 silver just to take off the cloth today!"
But Violet spoke seriously.
"really. Look at the day we opened our shop. But I think you should come quickly"
"What's? why."
" Because things will run out soon."
The people who had previously laughed holding the navel over his pure attitude stopped laughing one by one.
"really?"
"Yes, of course!"
But people still seem to doubt.
Violet shrugged with a heart that everyone would know when the open day arrived.
And he did not forget to ask for it once more.
"Don't forget to spread it! The opening of our 'Gallahan Clothing Store' is in two days!"

Today is class day. And one more thing.
It was also the day when a clothing store named after the father opened in Haslot Market.
Not only was my father, who was nervous and could not sleep all night, but I also went out early in the morning and had a simple breakfast by myself, and I headed to class a little early.
Because of Clerivan's schedule, there was a message that his classes were a little faster.
Maybe in the afternoon, I'll go to dad to check on the situation.
The classroom door opened after passing the familiar path.
Even though I didn't know about the twins or Belsach, the class was empty, where I always thought there would be a Larane coming first to read a book.
"Am I the first?"
This rarely happens.
I sat in class without much hesitation.
It was a place where I always sat with the twins.
But I heard the classroom door open again.
"Hi Master!"
I laughed at Clerivan.
It was a business smile.
When I laugh like this, it's Clerivan who always smiles at me.
But today something is different.
She smiled as usual, but her hard eyes looked at me.
"Teacher, what's going on?"
Clerivan approached where I was sitting, took a small jar from his hand, and placed it in front of me.
"Are you a product that's selling well lately as a Lombardys business?"
"Hmmm..."
I don't know how to answer it.
It was because I made a conversation with grandfather about the recommendation letter.
Moreover, I heard that grandfather gathered Lombardy's followers and even proudly boasted of it as my work.
So, it's okay to answer 'I know very well'.
But it made me doubt because I couldn't understand the meaning of Clerivan's question.
Instead of answering, I stared at him for a moment.
The eyes of Clerivan, whose pigment was close to light blue, stared at my face..
"...If so, let me tell you what I think."
Clerivan said in a low voice.
"Other families did not believe it when the Lord said that this ointment was made by Lady Florentia, and considered the lord to be only a proud granddaughter. But I think I can understand what God means."
I'm only eight now.
"But I know you well too."
"I ...?"
"Maybe the idea and method of making this ointment is something you think about. Estira just added a few and made them. Don't you?"
"No! I'm just really helping Estira."
First of all, I tried to pretend I didn't know.
But, as expected, it didn't work out for Clerivan.
"Then did you say that Estira found the ointment?"
"Yes. Estira......"
"He not only sold the drug but put it in beeswax and vegetable oil to harden it. It's also mixed with hipsee."
"Because Estira is smart!"
"Of course I know that Estira has a brilliant head, but she, not the one who thinks outside the box."
No, when did you find out about Estira like that?
Clerivan seems convinced.
The ointment was not made by Estira, but on my own initiative.
Actually, I've been watching him for a while.
On the day he had a meeting with dad about the price of ready-to-wear clothes.
Clerivan clearly knows that this apparel business is a business for casual customers.
At that moment, it was to show his intention, he suddenly raised the price higher.
Moments later I was uncomfortable with Clerivan's attitude.
But there was not much to say after that, so I thought maybe it was my fault and left.
But in this way.
I asked with a bloody smile.
"It just told me that today's class started early, right?"
Then Clerivan responded by raising the tail of his mouth as well.
"Yes. Others were told that today's class was canceled. I'm doing it because I think I need time to talk to you. Please forgive me."
"You don't have to do that. If you just ask, I'll answer."
Like Clerivan did, I was just trying to think about it, not to end it.
It was a little more than I had planned, but it will happen someday.
After all, this is the Clerivan Pellet.
It was a bit happy that it felt like a commercial genius that I had to make my own person by any means came to me with curiosity.
"If so, please tell me the truth."
Clerivan said in a sincere voice.
At that moment I could see.
If I don't answer Clerivan's question correctly now, I won't get this genius's cooperation no matter what the future holds.
I straightened my back to get the correct posture.
"First of all, the teacher's guess is correct. I made the ointment with Estira's help."
"So..."
Clerivan's eyes glinted at me.
"Then, is the Gallahan project also a young lady's idea?"
"No, not that one. Father who made and had the idea of ready-to-wear clothes."
"Wear ready clothes. Thas right. You can call it that."
Ohright.
In this place there is no concept of 'finished clothes', of course there is no word 'ready wear'.
Clerivan nodded as he looked at me with a face that seemed impressed.
That time too.
I cannot forget the face of Clerivan, who laughed brightly.
which is even more handsome.
"Actually, ever since the Coroi cotton business, I've had a hunch."
"Well, since then?"
A stream of sweat flowed.
How sharp is this guy?
"At that time, the reason why the business rights were transferred from Mr. Viese to Mr. Gallahan was because of the lady. More precisely, it was because miss suddenly dragged Gallahan in front of the wagon."
My face became a little red from embarrassment.
Clerivan has been aware of it to some extent ever since.
I feel hot when I pretend to know nothing.
"At that time, it was important to open the door for my father."
"I understand that. Gallahan has a valuable talent for reading books alone."
After all, Clerivan had eyes to see.
This was the first time he praised my father in front of me, so I felt better.
Since it's been like this, I'd like to see him join my father's business on my behalf in the future.
But don't push too much.
Clerivan is a talent I mustn't miss.
Was the wall of grandfather's talent collection passed down to me?
I wanted to make Clerivan my own, even today, so I said, barely calming my burning heart.
"Anyway, please pretend not to know. I'll try not to bother you.."
I spoke politely to fit Clerivan's wishes as much as possible.
After I managed to tell Clerivan that I was an amazing child, it was decided that everything was going on from today.
And in the future, I hope to show better and better performances, build trust, and make Clervan my own.
But even before I finished speaking, Clerivan's face was grim and his voice hardened like he was flying.
"...The teacher?"
"Why?"
Clerivan was disappointed in me.
"Yes?"
"Am I lacking?"
"What do you mean...... ."
"I asked if this Clerivan Pellet ability was not in your eyes"
"No way!" +
You are doing great things in the future!
Other than making Top Pellets, Clerivan's achievements are inexplicable.
In particular, after he became in charge, the chart in Top Lombardy went up like drawing a straight line.
At least in trading, no one can follow Clerivan's animalistic instincts.
Clerivan, who was looking at me, bit his lower lip a little as if he was upset.
And he said to me in a slightly trembling voice.
"Please don't throw me out..."
