Chapter 65 - Milim. (Patreon)

When the next day began, Nahida started to receive the first products he had ordered. When the truck with the products arrived, the deliveries thought they would be delivered to the store opposite the hotel.

However, Yuki, who was there, said they should be delivered to the hotel. The delivery guy knocked on the hotel door and was answered by Nazuna. Or at least he should have been answered. Although Nazuna heard the knock on the door, when she opened it, no one was there.

Even with the door open, she still heard someone knocking.

She closed the door in confusion and then called out to Nahida. Nahida then opened the door, and the man was there. He was holding a clipboard with a document with the products Nahida had ordered written in it.

Nahida smiled at the man and then signed the paper.

After paying the man, Nahida received several boxes of products. They were drinks. There were boxes of Coca-Cola, Pepsi, canned juices, and other drinks. There were even beers of an excellent brand.

Nahida didn't pay a low price.

Nahida put all the boxes in the reception area with the help of the delivery man, and then the man left.

"Who would have thought that the first thing to arrive would be the drinks? Nazuna, can you help me put these away somewhere? I'll take it to my market later."

"Oh, sure."

Joulan also offered his help, and they put all the boxes in a nearby corner. After that, more trucks started arriving, and the packages started piling up, making the guests curious.

"Nazuna, can you ask Rimuru for help? He can carry all these boxes if he stores everything."

"Rimuru-sama? I'm curious if he's available at the moment. But I can go over and have a look."

"Do that, please." Nazuna left the hotel, and Nahida turned to Joulan. "While she goes to where Rimuru is, you could get some of the boxes and take them to my market. You know where it is, don't you?"

"Yes, I know. But are you sure I can get out? What if something happens?"

"As long as I'm here, nothing will happen."

"That's fine. I can carry several boxes at once. They're not very big." Joulan picked up five boxes and carried them out of the hotel. After the door closed, another truck arrived.

Throughout the day, Nahida and Joulan carried the boxes to the market since Rimuru was busy.

By the following day, in the evening, everything had been completed. The products had been placed on the shelves and in the freezer. Nahida had only ordered food/drinks, so the second floor was empty.

"Thanks a lot for your help, guys."

In addition to Nazuna and Joulan, even other goblins were helping Nahida put things on the shelves. Of course, he would pay the goblins for their work. They weren't doing it out of goodwill.

But he wouldn't pay them too much.

When they had finished, the goblins who had helped them left, and only Nahida, Joulan, and Nazuna remained in the market. The two followed Nahida as he walked through the aisles and looked at all the products.

"I think the only thing I need now is frozen hamburgers."

"Hamburgers?"

"Yes. The meat supplier didn't sell frozen burgers. He just delivered whole pieces of meat."

"..." Nazuna didn't quite understand.

'I wanted frozen burgers, meatballs, and other things. I'll have to find a supplier.' But that wasn't Nahida's priority at the moment.

He left his market with Nazuna and Joulan, and they walked through the busy streets. People were very curious about the market. "I need someone to work in the market so we can start selling."

"Do you think anyone will take this job?"

"Absolutely. I'll pay well. Anyway, if Rimuru goes after someone, he'll get someone in just a second."

"True, Rimuru-sama would surely get someone to work even for free in your new market."

"I don't want that. I want to pay people a salary."

"Are you only going to hire only one person?"

"No, of course not. I need someone to look after the till and another to re-stock the shelves and freezer. Speaking of which, I need to ask Rimuru to build another building to serve as a warehouse."

"Do you intend to order even more things?

"Of course, it's important to keep a stock. What will happen if all the drinks run out? The freezer is so big that all the boxes have been emptied."

"True, there's more soft drinks than other products in that freezer. Oh, and that sweet and tasty product, I'm sure it'll sell a lot."

"Ice cream?"

"That's right, ice cream!" Nahida had let Nazuna try some ice cream, and she fell in love with it immediately. Nazuna was sure it would sell a lot. Everything in the freezer would be gone in an instant.

"Ice cream is delicious, isn't it?"

"Yes, it's wonderful! You have to order more ice cream and keep it in storage. I'm sure everyone in town will love it!"

"Don't worry, I'll order lots of ice cream."

Nazuna's eyes sparkled. She had certainly loved the ice cream.

"Nazuna, Joulan, you can return to the hotel without me. Rias must be struggling."

"Oh, that's right! Rias is taking care of everything herself! Come on, Joulan, let's get back quickly. What are you going to do, Nahida?

"I want to talk to Rimuru."

"Ah, yes. I'll see you later."

Nazuna and Joulan went to the hotel, and Nahida walked towards Rimuru's house. However, when he got there, he was in for a surprise.

"Milim?" Nahida said, surprised.

"Huh? Who are you?" Standing in the doorway, Milim turned to look at Nahida. He felt his legs tremble. For some reason, she was throwing murderous intent in his direction.
