“I think that’ll do it for the short to medium term.”

Now, I just need to rank priorities.

Not that it’s all that hard.

If my top priority is opening up shop, then creating products has to come before that.

Because there isn’t much point in a shop without anything to sell.

Maybe the fence and yard should come before that too? If the place doesn’t look good, then customers probably won’t come.

While I’m at it, I can use the herbs in the yard to make products.

As for the rest, there’s no need to hurry, so I can get to them when there’s time.

“I guess that means I’m doing the fence first. After all, I can still make products once the sun sets.”

I tried giving the fence out front a light kick.

There was a cracking sound as it collapsed.

Yeah, it sure fell over easily... This is going to need to be rebuilt from scratch.

It’s just a bunch of simple fence posts with crossbars though, so maybe it’s not worth calling a carpenter. Should I do it myself to save funds?

I’d learned some carpentry skills making alchemic artifacts, but I didn’t have a set of tools.

At school we used the ones provided in class, and at Master’s place I was always able to borrow hers.

So, off to the general store I went.

“Hello,” I said in my usual, cheery manner.

“Oh, Sarasa-san! I have to apologize for yesterday! When I got home, and I heard how much that fabric costs, I...” Lorea-san stammered as soon as she saw my face.

“No, I’m the one who should be sorry,” I replied, waving my hand. “I meant it as a way of showing my gratitude, but I guess that it was just a teensy bit too expensive for a casual gift. And I ended up getting a bunch of fabric and cotton in return.”

“Don’t be sorry! And please, take them! Dad was saying that even that wasn’t enough to make things even. But if you won’t accept at least that much, we won’t feel right using the fabric you gave us.”

Ah, yeah, I could see how that could be a thing.

If I was going to sell that fabric in the shop in future, then my having given it to her in exchange for half a day’s work might not be all that good for either of us.

“In that case, I’ll gratefully accept it.”

“By all means,” Lorea-san insisted. “So, what brings you here today?”

“I don’t suppose you have carpentry tools, do you? I’d like a full set.”

“Oh, sure. If you just need the stuff you’d use around an ordinary house. If you want good ones, you’re better off going directly to Jizdo-san, though. Is there something you’re working on, Sarasa-san?”

“I was thinking I’d fix up the fence.”

“Huh? By yourself? You’re not going to
