Chapter 217
My name is Paula .
It is the name I gave myself and I really like it .
My real name?
It doesn’t matter .
I am Paula .
A woman who lived in the backstreet .
Living in the backstreet of the city was hard .
There are only a few fun memories .
Most of the fun memories are related to Marcos .
Marcos is a boy I met with age similar to mine .
However, he is my senpai when it comes to life in the backstreet .
He’s my husband now .
Just thinking of not being able to meet him makes me shiver .
The turning point of my and Marcos’ life is meeting Fushu-sama .
Because we heard rumors about her kidnapping children, we thought that we were done for that time .
However, I find temporary solace with the people they gathered .
One of them is Jack, a leader in the backstreet .
Marcos can be relied on but Jack is more reliable .
If he didn’t fall in love with Morte, I would have made him mine .
Fushu-sama gathers us to talk about migrating .
It is possible to obtain a house of your own .
But that’s too good to be true .
I never thought that they’ll treat us like stupid fools .
However, can a great person of Korin religion lie?
I’m anxious . As for everyone else… . yeah, they’re anxious too .
Good .
However, we still agreed to Fushu-sama’s suggestion .
We couldn’t go against it since the proposal is too attractive .
The most attractive thing is that we will be taught of various things first before migrating .
Moreover, it’s for free .
We will be taught on how to read and write characters, calculate, and etiquette .
Even if the migration is a lie, what we learn is already ours .
If I can calculate, it will be easy for me to find a place to work in .
Moreover, if I can read and write characters, I can also expect to receive wage .
As for etiquette… . though I don’t think I need it, it is not uncommon to be cut by down by a noble after committing rudeness .
If I learn it, there won’t be any loss .
Though it was hard and busy, it was a fulfilling half year .
The story about migration is true .
There was a place called Village One, a little away from Big Tree Village, where we got our house and we were given jobs .
There was enough food too .
And all for it just for the hope of us being permanent residents .
Though the surrounding environment is scary, we are well protected .
If you compare this place to the backstreet, this is heaven .
For the jobs we were given with… .
We’re completely useless .
However, we were neither scolded nor kicked out .
Village chief… . ah, village chief is the village chief of Big Tree Village .
TN: just like everyone else, she thought Hiraku’s name is village chief .
There is no village chief in Village One, only a person who is called caretaker .
Village chief told us that he wants us to find the job suitable for us so there’s no hurry .
Thank you village chief .
Everyone else has the same reaction as me, we nodded with all our might .
We will do our best for village chief .
And we gradually got used to living in the village .
Farming, paper making, oil squeezing, sugar squeezing, salt making .
Little by little, we increased the things we can do .
When we were entrusted with pigs, I was a little worried if we can raise them properly but everyone did their best .
Maa, the men were a little too emotional… .
Right right .
The men .
When we first came to Village One, we can’t enter the forest but now, we can .
Jack even defeated a fanged rabbit alone .
He’s really amazing .
Marcos is working hard but it’s still impossible for him .
Don’t overdo it .
Don’t imitate something dangerous .
Look, even Kricky says you must be careful .
Kricky is one of the dogs called inferno wolf who protects the village… . . it is not a wolf .
I named it .
I was scared at first but I know that it’s defending the village and even bringing the prey it hunted from the forest here .
I wanted to thank it but I realized I don’t know its name .
When I asked village chief, he pointed at a group of inferno wolves .
Yup, it is impossible to name them all .

In that case, I’ll name it .
Village chief permitted me to do so and Kricky was pleased .
Kricky sometimes goes to other villages so I can’t see it but when it comes to Village One, it comes to say hello .
We have that kind of relationship with the inferno wolves .
Marcos doesn’t go against what it says… . but how about listening more to your wife?
A year has passed since we migrated .
Winter is cold but we prepared enough firewood so we’re okay .
From time to time, patrol coming from Big Tree Village and other villages come so we’re not worried about food .
Of course, we’re not just staying in our house to play .
We made a lot of small items from bamboo .
I can boast the baskets I made .
It is light and strong .
I also worked hard on the design .
The best things we made are presented to village chief in Big Tree Village .
After planting seeds at the beginning of the year, we continue to live our daily lives . Soon, it will be summer .
Right right .
Have you ever seen a castle floating in the sky?
It’s really amazing .
For such a big thing to fly .
I’m surprised when with what village chief said about the castle .
He said that you will be able to know the season with the location of the castle .
It will make a full rotation from Big Tree Village in a year . It was at north during winter and west during spring .
It is so close to the south now which means summer is near .
At that time, village chief spoke to Village One’s migrants .
「Shashaato City… . is it?」
I have never heard of it .
However, it seems to be a big commercial city in the demon king’s kingdom and it is also a port .
The fish we eat are purchased there .
Heh .
According to village chief, he was invited to open up as shop in Shashaato City .
Village chief wants to take over but everybody says he can’t leave .
Therefore, he wants to hear from us .
It is probably because we can read and write, calculate, and knows etiquette .
I never had a chance to show it but now I have .
And Fushu-sama .
Thank you very much .

Since village chief is the one requesting it, I’ll do it with the best of my effort!
Need to leave Village One for a while?
I do not mind .
Marcos is fine with it too .
Before we do, the others are already raising their hands .
Everyone feels the same .
I won’t lose .
There is no way for us to go in a large group so it will only be a couple .
Jack wanted to go too but he was automatically removed from the candidates because he’s the leader of Village One’s migrants .
Nine remaining groups .
I wished for the goddess of luck to smile at me .
Thank you, goddess of luck .
If this shop is successful, I will likely receive a reward medal and I’ll use it to make a statue of you .
Now .
Since we have to move to Shashaato City, we prepared our stuff… .
We don’t have much stuff .
I told Kricky that we’ll go away for a while… .
We said goodbye to the rest of the people in Village One .
It’s okay .
I and Marcos will move to Big Tree Village first .
We studied there for a month in order to prepare for the opening .
Village chief teaches us directly despite his busy schedule .
I’ll do my best .
The shop that village chief wants to open is a restaurant .
A shop that only has one dish, nothing else complicated .
Since it has come to this, then the food that will be sold is the most important point .
Can I even make it?
It was okay .
After we migrated to Village One, we made that dish once a week .
Indeed .
As expected of village chief .
That dish will surely get popular .
……
Areh?
Then, what are we going to learn now?
How to hire people?

Customer service?
Hygiene?
Tax computation?
…… .
My head is full and I find it hard to remember it all .
As for Marcos… . . yeah, hang in there .
Ah, we went to the castle in the sky via a balloon while we were studying because village chief recommended us to do some recreational work .
No, we didn’t play .
But it was fun .
It was my first time flying in the sky and it feels good… .
Though it is slightly cold .
I’ll wear thick clothes next time .
After a month of studying, we left for Shashaato City .
An important person from the demon king’s kingdom will teleport us using magic .
I knew that village chief is amazing but this is way too amazing .
Village chief’s shop .
I will absolutely make it a success!
Marcos feels the same .
He has a good smile .
As expected of my husband .
「Ano, village chief? This is?」
「The shop’s capital . It is embarrassing since its not much . 」
「You said that … . . but」
First of all, thank you for trusting us with this much money .
Next of all… . .
The bag of gold coin, Marcos can’t even lift it .
Are the prices in Shashaato City much higher than expected?
In addition, a large amount of crops are prepared on a cart .
They are ingredients for the shop but… . .
Can we even cook them all?
No no no .
I shouldn’t show weakness .
Let’s cook everything .
The dish is curry .
Fufufu .
There’s no one that can’t be captivated by that dish .
