Chapter 45: The Day Before Summer Festival

ON SEPTEMBER 21, 2022 BY GUTEZAGUTEREZ0980

The day before summer festival, the counter for product purchases was crowded.

The reception counter looked busy, but after a short wait, they seemed to have their hands free.

“Please follow me.”

Ginjiro and Elvis were taken directly to Milia dedicated room.

Milia was not there yet, so we decided to sit and wait.

As the receptionist’s girl was about to leave the room to bring me a cup of tea, I handed her a set of assorted cupcakes I had purchased from an online store, which was supervised by a famous pastry chef.

“Thank you very much, some of my colleagues like cake, so we will eat them together.”

I gave it to her for tea snacks, but she thought it was a gift.

In a panic, I gave her another set of assorted cupcakes from a famous pastry chef and asked her to bring them with tea.

“I’m sorry I’m late. Thank you very much for yesterday, Ginjiro-san and Elvis-san. Regarding the dress exhibition and presentation. I’m interested in what you’re going to do, so please let me know.”

As Milia sat down, Ginjiro began to explain.

“The first thing I want you to know is that the guests who attended Rachel’s dance hall wanted the dresses Elvis made. There seemed to be a lot of guests who were financially comfortable, and I saw this as a business opportunity for Elvis.”

Both Milia and Elvis nodded silently.

“However, dresses need to be maintained after they are sold, Elvis alone would be too much to handle. But if the customers and Elvis can interact with each other through the dance hall, I think it will work out well, even if the number of customers is increased.”

When Milia nodded in agreement, the receptionist’s girl brought a platter with tea and several cupcakes on it.

Taking a sip of tea, Ginjiro continued his story.

“The dance hall guests get the dress they wanted. They can wear that dress at the ballroom dance recital, and their family and friends can see them dance. By doing so, I think it gives them a stimulation that they never experienced in their everyday lives.”

The other day I met the couple from the lumber company who are now retired and desperately trying to fill the free time they have.

Ginjiro was hoping that a ballroom dance recital would stimulate and enrich their lives.

I take a break and sip my tea, and before I know it, the receptionist’s girl is also sitting down and drinking tea.

Looking at her drinking tea, this girl seems like a young lady.

She did eat three plates of hamburgers the other day, though.

“And the person who seeks the most stimulation is Rachel-san. Ballroom dancing looks good in a glamorous setting, so she’s hoping she can hold it regularly.”

I took a bite of the Mont Blanc from the assortment of cupcakes supervised by a famous pastry chef.

The aroma of chestnuts and the richness of the cream spread out, making my mouth happy at once.

Elvis seemed to try the strawberry milk cupcakes.

He grabbed the strawberry milk cupcakes with his hands and took a bite at a time.

The gesture of licking the cream on his back finger is something that only a good-looking man could do.

Milia chose the baked cheese cupcakes.

Milia seemed to like the baked cheese cupcakes supervised by a famous pastry chef.

I was aiming for the same thing, but it was good to see Milia’s happy face.

The receptionist’s girl enjoyed the chocolate cupcakes in two bites, and then moved the tiramisu from the platter to her own plate.

She tried to eat the tiramisu with her mouth wide open, but she inhaled so much of the powder on top that she choked on it.

That’s plain hurt, isn’t it?

“Ginjiro-san, how many tickets do you plan to sell and for how much?”

“Hmmm, maybe a hundred tickets? Perhaps attendees of the ballroom dance recital will buy tickets and give them to family and friends, so I’m thinking of two silver coins, a price not too high and not too low.”
Milia puts her hand on her chin and thinks a little.

“If we sell a hundred tickets, that’s two large gold coins. Assuming we don’t have to pay for the venue, we will serve tea and cakes, won’t we?　That alone might be too cheap for two silver coins.”

“I am not thinking about making a profit at a ballroom dance recital. I’m just hoping the dresses sell at the dress exhibition, and I’m not thinking about making a profit for myself here.”

“Then why is Ginjiro-san holding a dress exhibition and recital?”

“At first, it was because Elvis’s business seemed to be going well, so I stuck my neck out, and also because it looked like pure fun.”

Milia was listening with a lot of thoughts in her head, but the receptionist’s girl, who had regained her composure, was peeling off the mille crepe one by one and eating it.

She probably wasn’t hearing what I was saying, but I don’t dislike people who work on instinct.

Afterwards, Elvis joined us to discuss the dress exhibition and the ballroom dance recital.

Two members of the commercial guild offered to help, but I told them that it would be bad for them to go out of their way to help me as a staff member.

Then, Milia told me that it would not be a problem since she would be in charge of the event.

“Milia, would you be willing to accept a larger commission for the gorgeous shaved ice at the summer festival?　I have no problem paying more than half if they are sold for one small gold coin.”

I owe Milia too much.

She is probably in a higher position in the commercial guild, but she is kind to me, even though I have not brought any profit to the guild.

Wanting to return the favor in some way, I tell Milia about the idea Ginjiro came up with.

“Ginjiro-san, it’s okay. The usual fee is enough. However, if it’s okay to be selfish, could you sell me a konpeito personally?　It was delicious, so I want to eat it again.”

Speaking of which, Harry also liked the konpeito.

Since it’s something I bought at an online shop for a small present, I’ll hand over what I have now to Milia.

“I’ll give it to you for now. I’m giving this to you in exchange for your help, I won’t accept any money.”

“Such a precious and expensive…”

Milia hesitated, but it was seven coppers in the online store, and if Milia wanted, I’d give her as many as she wants.

When I was immersing myself in the feeling being cool in front of the ladies, the reception girl reached out her hand asking me to give her something too.

That’s right ……

I wasn’t thinking about this girl.

“Yes, you’re always helping me, so tell me what you want.”

“Cake…… roll cake tower the other day.”

She wanted to eat a roll cake tower.

“Okay, I’ll prepare it next time.”

Looking at the happy face of the receptionist girl,  though it’s a high-priced item in the online shop, but if this girl smiles, it can’t be helped, so I give up.

Elvis also asked Ginjiro to treat him to a meal next time, but Ginjiro ignored him.
