Chapter 10: 10
I decide to make Sarah wait a little longer, because her eyes are dazzling like coins .
I consider how to handle appointments .
"Sarah, you are familiar with counting, right? How many of those adventurers do you think can count?"
"I understand . Because I must be able to count the number of arrows I have left! I cannot write much though… Even farmers can count because they need to do taxes"
"How do you work out taxes?"
"The village chief and government official use a scale and board . Everyone in the village is watching in case they make a mistake . "
I see… While mathematics is not popular, it is necessary for one's lively hood .
Excess tax is life threatening so Farmers and peasants take it very seriously .
While knowledge is restricted to only a limited group, wisdom is equal .
I guess in a rural village there aren't very many ways in which you can learn numbers through .
I pull out a piece of wood and start making cuts in it with my knife .

"What are you doing?" Sarah asks as she leans in to get a better look .
"I am making a letter of introduction and reservation form . "
From the 10cm long piece of wood I made 3 sticks with different shapes on the cross-section, triangle, circle and square .
You mark the appropriate stick and section by burning a mark on it .
That's why I made reservation sticks dividing the 3 days in to 3 parts .

I explain to Sarah .
"From now on introducers will receive this . The circle is for today, triangle for tomorrow and square for the day after tomorrow . The top is after breakfast, middle is after lunch and the bottom is before dinner . Sarah, tell me the clients name when you come by the inn to hand in the stick . I will take the stick and await the client's arrival . Can you do that?"
"Hmmm? In other words, I should hand this to the client and explain that Circle is today, triangle is tomorrow and square is the day after tomorrow . Top is morning, middle is high noon and bottom is evening . "
"Well your job is to introduce them to me, I will do the rest . "
"I understand! I will be off then . " Sarah took off with the sticks .

I took out a flat rectangular piece of wood and started making a schedule table .
"I did not expect to make a schedule table when I came to another world . " I murmured with traces of sorrow .
This is the last chapter left in this arc .
