The Support Manages the Adventurer Parties!! Volume 1 Chapter 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&h.e.l.lip; 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&h.e.l.lip; 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.
