The Laid-back Life In Another World Of The Ex-Hero Candidate Who Turned Out To Be A Cheat From Level 2 Chapter 91

CHAPTER 18: HOUTAU GIRLS COLLECTION Emergency Situation

NT: Sorry for the delay, I've been a little lazy lately.
NT2: The author erased all the contend he had uploaded on Syosetu (the page were was the raws of this novels), but, he's currenly uploading everything to a new site. I don'r know why did he do that, and i don't really care. Anyway, i still have a back up, so it doesn't really matters anyway (kinda).

◇◇ IN A CERTAIN ROOM OF CERTAIN BUILDING THAT WAS IN ONE OF THE ALLEYS OF THE ROYAL CAPITAL ◇◇

「Ho~, is this the work of Seama Moulin's designer?」

「That's right, Dark King-sama. There is no doubt about it」

「… I'm not really good at judging clothing designs… But I think it's quite surprising, and its exposure is quite high… But hey, it won't be me who complains… Gufufu」

「Then, with this in our hands, we can continue as we had planned…」

「Umu, produce these products in bulk using low quality materials. After this, we will begin to distribute our products identical to those of Seama Moulin but of lower quality in the market. By the time people start complaining we will have already sold everything」

「Yes, leave it to us. I will make the slaves get to work on the production of the products immediately」

While watching his subordinates leave the room, the Dark King thought,

… Well, I'm already eager to see when I will make money this time

*Gufufu*, while letting out a nasty laugh.

◇◇ NANIWA CITY • INTERIOR OF SILK FLEECE ◇◇

「Fu~n. It still seems suspicious to me…」

「Is something happening, Fettabetch ojou-sama*?」

One of the store's employees, a little woman named Liruril, called Fettabetch, who seemed to have been wandering for some time.

「It's nothing, it's just that someone bought a lot of poor quality materials in our store, have you seen any suspicious merchants lately?」

「Yes, I saw someone who seemed to be buying quite poor quality materials with a cheerful look」

「I see, so it really wasn't just us, it seems that someone has been buying the poor quality materials from almost every store in the area」

「E~h, is that so?」

「… Hey, aren't you supposed to be a Merchant, huh? If you are not able to handle this kind of information then you will end up having problems when you have your own store, you know it, don't you?」

「Hahaha, that's true」, Liruril replied to Fettabetch while laughing nonchalantly.

「Hey, you know, I heard a rumor that said Seama Moulin's designs, whose business has become more popular lately, come from a Mysterious Designer outside the business. I also heard some other suspicious rumors, so be careful」

「Got it~, don't worry~」

While watching Liruril, who laughed as carelessly as ever, Fettabetch said,「… Well, I guess it's time I went to check bill…」, as she let out a deep sigh as she began to walk towards the back of the store.

NT: The Ojou-sama would mean something like, “Young Lady/Master”.

◆ ◇ VARIETY STORE ÛGO ◇ ◆

「… Fas.h.i.+on Show?… Nya?」

Uliminus inclined her head in confusion after hearing Furio's words.

「Yes, it's a word I used to hear often in my world, I'm sorry if I didn't explain it before」, Furio said while shaking Uliminus's right hand.

Furio was a Human from another world who was summoned as a Hero Candidate.

In his original world he was a Merchant, and thanks to that he was able to make use of the knowledge to improve the operation of the store Ûgo. Among those things he knew was the Fas.h.i.+on Show, which he had just mentioned to Uliminus.

NT: Honestly, sometimes I forget that this series is an Isekai… the fact that Furio does not come from the earth, but from another fantasy world doesn't help.

「In my original world, the most important fas.h.i.+on companies hired models every time they released a new product. They asked the models to wear the outfits they made and then made them parade in a kind of show. They called that Fas.h.i.+on Show, and I was wondering if we could use that to promote new clothing designs」

「*Fumu*… Nya」

Uliminus began to consider Furio's proposal.

Certainly, Seama Moulin's clothes are really popular nya.

We would need to do something like that fas.h.i.+on show to compete with them nya.

That way we should be able to 「popularize the clothes we present at that show」 nya.

Even if we sell the products in bulk, we should still be able to sell the 「products presented at that show」 at a high price.

We could even negotiate with the store owner where we will do it so that we are both able to obtain benefits, uha uha nya.

「It's a good idea nya! Let's do that Fas.h.i.+on Show nya!」, said Uliminus as she waved Furio's hands from top to bottom.

At that moment, Furio frowned and rubbed his eyes confused, since for a second, he felt that Uliminus' eyes had taken a form of 「¥*」.

「Nn? Does something happen nya?」

「… Ah, no, it's nothing」

Furio had no choice but to smile at Uliminus, who watched him with a scrupulous look.

「Then, I'll go make preparations for the Fas.h.i.+on Show, take care of your clothes」

「I already know, just leave it to my nya」

Furio and Uliminus raised their thumbs as a sign that they had everything under control.

NT: “¥” is the simbol of “yen” (JPY), the j.a.panese currency / coin.

◆ ◇ THAT NIGHT • FURIO'S HOUSE ◇ ◆

「… Then, Uliminus」, said Lys while frowning, then, 「… Why should I help you make clothes?」, asked thet to Uliminus while watching the pile of cloth she had piled up in front of her.

「Seriously~」

「I~ am not very good at sewing~」

「I can only do maintenance on my armor…」

「… (Disgusted look)」

Besides Lys, Uliminus had also called Bireri, Brossam, Barissa and Berano to help her.

Needless to say, each of them was looking at Uliminus with an unsatisfied look.

Uliminus, who was the target of her eyes, lowered her gaze, without stoping sewing, while drops of sweat began to fall from her body.

「No… Well… It's-It's just that I bought too much cloth nya… And the only people I know who can work with the cloth are the people of Elmens's shop nya…」

Then, Uliminus fell on the floor and said, 「I'm sorry, but please, help me with this nyaaaaaa」, while lowering her head.

Next to the group, on the opposite side of Lys,

「This is part of our training, so I don't care」

Was Hiya, the Majin of Light and Darkness, who said that while continuing to sew with a usual calm gaze.

「If Hiya Onee-sama says so, then I won't complain either」

「And this could prove to be something useful kokon」

「I don't plan on staying behind, Silver Horn Fox onee-sama. I had no intention of losing」

Next to Hiya were her training partners ― Prohibited to Persons under 18 ― who usually stayed in the spiritual world of Hiya.

NT: “Prohibited to Persons under 18”. That censors.h.i.+p………..

Damarina.s.se

The Silver Horn Fox

and Mahorion.

The three of them, who were also called to help, were sewing.

Lys, who let out a sigh while watching the situation,

「… It's not like I said I wouldn't help」

Said that as she continued sewing.

The rest of the group, like Lys, also continued sewing with an ironic smile on their faces.

Seeing that, Uliminus said, 「ThThank you nya~~」, while shedding some tears.

At the same time,

The former members of the Silent Ear under Uliminus's comand, and current employees of the Variety Store Ûgo, made sure to leave their current job and return to the store at the time they heard about the Emergency Situation to help complete all products in time for the agreed date.

…Nevertheless

「Kya!? The needle! the needle! I stick with it!」

「Idiot! Don't stain the cloth with blood!」

「What are you doing!? Let the wounded get out of here!」

「Stop complaining! Just go to another table! I'll take care of this part!」

… although more people joined to finish the job, they really were not able to become a support capable of making a difference.

◇◇ IN A CERTAIN ROOM OF THE ROYAL CAPITAL ◇◇

「Look at this Tsuya. I'm sure my design will be to your liking」

「… Mine too, somehow I think you'll be satisfied with it」

「… Eh~, but even if they say that…

Blond Hero-sama~, your design exposes too much~

And Ririanju, your design~ doesn't look very interesting~…」

「What do you mean by that!? You say exposing too much is bad!? Idiot, in this way the true beauty of a woman is better exposed!?」

「Ye-Yes~!, I'm sorry, Blond Hero-sama~」

「Well, now, let's get to work, you too Ririanju」

「… Ah, no… I'm sorry, I'm really not very good with this kind of thing…」, said Ririanju, with a discouraged smile, in response to the words of the motivated Blond Hero.

… She-She says it's not… interesting…

NT: As always, if you find something weird, whatever, just tell me in the comments.
