- After days of dedicated work, meticulously refining our craft, and painstakingly correcting every last error in our current project, Rosita and I finally felt a wave of accomplishment wash over us. The long hours, and an unwavering determination, were beginning to pay off.
- We knew, however, that the journey was far from over. Our next crucial step was to secure the necessary licenses and find the perfect location for our burgeoning shop.
- With renewed energy and a shared sense of purpose, we set off for the nearest town, eager to tackle these final, yet vital, hurdles before our dream could truly materialise.
- With a newfound purpose, a shared sense of profound purpose knitting us together. Each item was chosen with care, a silent promise to ourselves. We set off for the nearest town, a bustling hub of commerce and intrigue, our hearts alight with an eager, almost primal desire to tackle these final, yet vital, hurdles.
- We understood implicitly that the path ahead would not be without its challenges, its unexpected twists and turns, but we were ready. We had to be ready. Our dream, vibrant and tenacious, was poised on the precipice of materialising, and we would not falter.
- Our arrival at the city was met with a symphony of new sights and sounds. This was Pavv, the second most beautiful city in the kingdom, only outshone by the splendour of the capital. It was a place steeped in reputation for its exquisite merchandise, its artisans renowned throughout the land, and its breathtaking beauty.
- Every vista was a painting, every street a story, captivating the hearts and minds of all who had the privilege of walking its cobbled pathways.
- However, our entrance to this promised land was not as smooth as we had hoped. At the city gates, we were abruptly halted by a quartet of stern-faced guards, their armoured figures casting long shadows in the afternoon sun. - Their leader, a burly man with a weathered face and eyes that missed nothing, demanded to see our identification.
- We explained, patiently, that we were newcomers, without the formal IDs typically required for entry, and that our purpose in Pavv was to join the esteemed merchant guild.
- A slow, knowing smile spread across the guard's face, revealing a missing tooth. "Ah, so you're registering," he rumbled, his voice surprisingly deep. "Then you'll need to pay the fees, five silver coins each, for temporary IDs. It's the standard procedure for now."
- Leon, didn't hesitate. He reached into his pouch( hiding the storage space), the jingle of coins a small punctuation mark in the quiet tension. "Ok," he said, handing over the silver without a word of complaint. "Here's the money." The transaction was swift, a small toll paid for the right to pursue a grander ambition.
- With the temporary IDs clutched in our hands, the gates of Pavv swung open, beckoning us into its vibrant embrace, and a new chapter truly began.
- We entered the city, a beautiful city with a lot of shops and places all over the place, a lively city filled with citizens, merchants, and adventurers.
- We finally arrived at the merchant's guild, which was a building with three stories and was big, we entered the guild and the receptionist welcomed us.
- " Welcome to the merchant's guild, how may I help you today? Receptionist.
- " Hi, I want to register as a merchant, can you help me with that? Leon.
- " Ok sir, fill this form for me to register you." Receptionist.
- We registered our names and my company's name, just as I wanted to ask her something someone appeared coming down from the second floor.
- " Oh Leon, long time no see." Man.
- Oh, this is... I forgot his name, he is a man with his daughter I saved them a year ago with Sensei, being attacked by some bandits.
- " Yo! How have you been? What are you doing here? Leon.
- " What are you talking about I am the guild master and I also want to ask, what are you doing here? Man.
- " I came here to register and start my business." Leon.
- " Oh I see then come to my office I want to pay back my debt or I won't feel any rest." Man.
- Then we entered his office and had some conversation about our lives and business, his name was Etrix and he said he would give us a new place to start selling our products.
- I thanked him for that but he said he did it because he was indebted to me.
- After we checked our new place we came back home wanting to start putting the products, but in that second I remembered a question.
- " Can any of you know how to do a calculation? Leon.
- " ....."
- The whole room felt silent and everybody started to look at each other, at that moment I learned I need to find someone capable of handling finances and calculations. Our dream was big, and our ambition even bigger, but without proper management, it would all be for nought.
- "Alright," I declared, breaking the silence. "It's clear we need a new member for our team. Someone with a head for numbers, someone who can help us make sense of our earnings, expenses, and growth."
- "Until then," I continued, "we'll focus on getting the products ready for sale. We'll learn as much as we can on the fly, but our priority now is to find that person. This isn't a setback; it's just another step on our journey. A minor setback, yes, but it will lead to a major leap forward once we're truly prepared."
- After a week of searching for a capable person, I failed to find anyone who knows calculation until one day as I was casually strolling in the forest while flying I saw a group of people surrounding another people.
- They were quite far so I didn't know who they were so I got close to look at them, after I got close I saw something I never expected, two demons fighting a group of other demons, they were two women one with a sword and the other with a staff probably a mage.
- I wanted to help them but I hesitated because they were demons but I eventually went and saved them.
