Chapter 53: The Difficult Debut
No, after all, the people attending this banquet today had indeed come to see me, right? Then, I had to greet them in turns.
It’s good that the method of greeting by putting our glasses in a toast is the same as the other world’s, but that’s not the problem for now. Since my mother who entered together with me is now busy with greeting other people, and despite Yuzuruha-san is unexpectedly paying so much attention to me, in the end, I have to greet the people by myself.
Example number one. The uncle who’s standing out as a plump and fat merchant. I wonder why this person is wearing so many rings at once? I wonder if it’s because they can be converted into money whenever something happened? However, he seems to be a good person, uhm…
“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Seiren-sama. I’m governing a territory that’s located at a western side from here, my name is Kushima.”
“Kushima-san, is it? Pleased to meet you.”
“Yeah. The dress that Seiren-sama is wearing right now seems to be made using the silk from our territory, huh?”
“Ah, is that so? I’m sorry for my lack of knowledge. However, it feels comfortable to wear and I like it.”
“Ooh, it seems to have won your favor already, Ojou-sama.”
I see, the silk, huh? Since there was enough demand from good houses, it seemed to be quite profitable. Actually, this dress can be used to move smoothly without any disturbances. Its texture is also good.
Example number two, the uncle with his tough short hair. Uhm well, at a glance, I feel like he seems to be welcoming customers at the riverside fish market, or so I thought.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Seiren-sama. I’m Kadzuki who’s working for the feudal lord at the east port city.”
“Kadzuki-san, is it? Pleased to meet you. Since it’s a port city, are the people over there able to catch a lot of good fishes?”
“Yes, and we’re also making money of it even in this town. To be frank, I was formerly a fisherman.”
“Hee, I see. Since the fishes are delicious, then it’s reasonable.”
My hunch was right. No matter in which world it is, the feeling that fishermen gives off is quite the same.
But well, thank you for the delicious fishes. The territory of Shiiya isn’t close to the sea, so perhaps it’s thanks to Kadzuki-san and the people over there that we can eat sea fishes, huh?
Example number 3, a normal uncle. Yes, he seems to be wearing good outfits with his utmost effort, but he looks like a normal uncle.
I clapped my hands together as I thought that it was somehow easy to see through, and well, that seems to be quite reasonable.
