Chapter 44: Ginjiro Contribution to Elvis mother

The day before summer festival, I slept until noon today to regain my strength.

After waking up, I went to the garden and poured well water over my head.

It made my head feel sharper, but it was before noon, so Hungry Bear’s morning was over.

“Ara, Ginjiro-chan. You are very late today~”.

When I told her that I was tired and had over slept, she offered me a meal saying that she had some extra food.

But Ginjiro knew.

At Hungry Bear, there are three brothers with big appetites and Bernie.

There is no such thing as having extra food.

I am grateful to Bernie-san, who took the trouble to make it, and Clara-san, who cared for me.

After getting a meal, head to Elvis’ store.

“Yo Ginjiro”

Elvis spread his arms out and hugged me, after our greetings, he urged me to take him out as soon as possible.

Thinking that it can’t be helped, I offered Elvis’ mother a high quality yokan from a long-established shop, and she sent us off with a smile.

The yokan was a high-class product that cost seven silver coins.

I think it is expensive to spend seven silver coins every time I take Elvis out, but seeing her smile makes me want to give her the yokan.

Elvis and I headed to a dress fabric wholesaler.

We came to look at fabrics to increase the selection for a dress exhibition that will be held at Rachel’s dance hall.

Elvis only made dresses for people he had personal relationships with, such as Maria, Elvis’s girlfriend? who has a magical charm and  Rachel, the dance hall owner.

He had not expanded his business much until now because dresses need regular maintenance after they are sold.

Elvis buys a number of fabrics, which are not cheap, even though they are wholesale.

I looked at Elvis, who was paying quite a bit of money, and asked him if he was okay. He said he was fine, but his face didn’t show his usual composure.

Perhaps he is pushing himself too hard.

I could help him with the money, but he is my best friend and if I did that, our relationship would fall apart.

Ginjiro thinks again about what he should do to make the exhibition and recital of the dress a success.

“Rachel-san, first of all, how many people do you expect to show up for the dress exhibition?”

The place is Rachel’s dance hall.

It’ a meeting for the dress exhibition and the recital.

“That’s right. All the people who were here last time said they would attend, and I’ve asked the guests who weren’t here last time to come, so I think about ten people will show up.”

From what I hear, it looks like quite a few people will be coming to the exhibition.

I hope we can sell a lot.

This time, since Rachel will introduce us to her customers, I offered her a contract in which I would pay her a referral fee if the dresses sold, but she refused, saying she did not want it because she was not doing it for the money.

Instead, she wants to have a ballroom dance recital with her customers wearing the finest dresses Elvis makes as soon as possible.

“Rachel-san, then I will prepare the sweets and tea for the exhibition and the recital. And as for the tickets for the presentation, let’s keep it affordable. I’m sure they will buy many tickets themselves for their family and friends to see them dance.”

“All I want is to be able to do a ballroom dance recital, so I’ll leave the rest to Ginjiro-san.”

Rachel-san winked at me, saying that in return I should treat her to a fun and exciting recital and some delicious sweets and tea.

She is surprisingly passionate, I thought, and after some detailed discussions, I left Rachel-san and headed next to the commercial guild.
