A Knight's Journey Begins in Faiz

Back home, Jiang Yang found some dirty clothes. He planned to go to the laundry shop the next day and then casually tell Keitaro about his plan to open a Yorozuya (a general store/business).

Then, express your frustration at not having found a suitable place yet, and reveal your intention to find a partner. There's a 99% chance that Keitaro will join you directly.

At the very least, they'll help you find a storefront.

Jiang Yang knew that it was wrong to take advantage of honest people, but they were really useful.

Moreover, he wouldn't just take advantage of him; if Keitaro was willing to cooperate, he would provide all the funding.

However, to be honest, I don't think I need to open a shop anymore. I was short of money before, so I wanted to find a job to support myself.

Now, I have enough money to live on for a year or two without any problem, so is there any need to open a shop?

Jiang Yang discovered the blind spot.

But after a brief consideration, he still decided to open the store. There were many reasons, but the biggest reason was to give himself an identity, a visible identity.

When you go out, your identity is given by yourself.

After briefly summarizing today's events and making a rough estimate of what will happen next, Jiang Yang is done!

Please, running around outside all day is tiring, okay? Even though transforming into ixa continuously doesn't have any burden, it still takes up physical strength.

Although these things are no problem for Jiang Yang's current physical condition, everyone has lazy moments. Jiang Yang doesn't want to become the kind of person who's constantly on edge, living in fear.

Life is already tiring enough; don't make it harder on yourself.

If it were him, in his 24 years of life, he would probably be lying in bed watching anime, staying up until the early hours of the morning before reluctantly turning off his phone and going to sleep.

But in 03, well, I guess I'll just go to sleep.

When Jiang Yang opened his eyes again after a good night's sleep, the sun had just risen.

I got up and did some simple warm-up exercises. With improved physical fitness, my sleep quality has truly improved dramatically, and I no longer have to worry about waking up in the middle of the night.

When he was broke, Jiang Yang wouldn't eat breakfast. Firstly, he felt it was unnecessary, and secondly, he didn't want to spend money. Now that he had money, he wanted to eat well: toast, a sausage, and two fried eggs.

These are all that's in the refrigerator.

By the time Jiang Yang went out, the sun was already high in the sky.

"It's a nice day today."

The weather is nice, perfect for going out and causing trouble. While we haven't caught the attention of the AI ​​company yet, we should definitely stir things up. It will be too late to do anything once we're on their radar.

Carrying her bag, she arrived at Keitaro's laundromat, where Keitaro was already working.

All I can say is that this guy is truly self-disciplined.

"Good morning, Keitaro. Are we open for business now?"

"Of course, you're here to do laundry?"

"Well, I haven't had much time lately, so I'm asking you to do this."

Jiang Yang filled out a form to register the quantity and style of the clothes. He was also supposed to write his address because Keitaro's laundry shop offered home delivery service, but he didn't.

"I'll leave it here after I wash it, and I'll come back to get it later."

The price wasn't expensive; in fact, it was quite cheap.

"That's wonderful, Keitaro."

"what?"

"I mean your shop, a shop that can help you achieve your dreams, is really enviable. I really want to open my own shop too."

"Jiang Yang, is the shop you want to open also related to your dream?"

"Pretty much. I'm the kind of person who likes to meddle in other people's business, so if possible, I'd like to open a 'jack-of-all-trades' shop, so that people who need help will have a place to seek assistance."

Upon hearing this, Keitaro's eyes lit up.

"That's a wonderful dream. Have you encountered any difficulties?"

"Not really, it's just that I haven't found a suitable place to set up a shop yet. And you see, I'm all by myself, and I have to do research on Orphino all the time. I'm worried that after I open the shop... you know what I mean."

At this moment, Jiang Yang saw Qiao and Zhenli walk out.

Are you going out?

"I'm sorry, Keitaro, we really should go check out the AI."

"It's about Truth's father, isn't it? It's alright, I understand."

After saying that, the two of them set off on their motorized Pegasus.

"You've had it pretty tough too."

"Actually, there isn't any. Zhenli is a good person. Although Qiao is sometimes rude, he probably doesn't have any bad intentions."

"You're quite kind... By the way, Keitaro, would you like to cooperate with me?"

About an hour later, a new sign appeared in front of the laundromat that read, "Traveler's Everything Shop".

Jiang Yang once again felt guilty for taking advantage of Qi Taro, this good person.

He only briefly mentioned his idea, and Keitaro immediately agreed.

Keitaro expressed his willingness to help, and if Jiang Yang didn't mind, he was willing to share the storefront with Jiang Yang, meaning that this place would be both a laundromat and a general store in the future.

Of course, he had his own conditions.

He wanted Jiang Yang to tell them as much as possible about Orphnoch.

Jiang Yang was stunned. Could there really be such a good thing?

He never expected things to turn out this way. He thought at most he would just rent a storefront nearby and make Keitaro and the others unofficial staff, but he never imagined they would actually use the storefront directly.

It would be a waste not to seize such a good opportunity.

And so, the Traveler's Everything Shop held a grand opening sale.

Well, it's really just a sign that's been put up.

Regarding the profit-sharing issue, a portion of each business deal will be allocated as rent to Keitaro, while Keitaro will also receive a corresponding salary for helping him.

If Qi Taro receives less than a certain amount of rent each month, Jiang Yang will personally pay half of the shortfall as compensation.

It was all a mess, but it was all just their verbal agreement.

Jiang Yang didn't care about these things. He wasn't short of money right now, so it didn't matter if the Yorozuya didn't make money. Even if there weren't a single customer, he wouldn't lose much money.

That old man had a lot of money in his secret stash, which shows just how many people he had killed.

And there are many more like this in this city.

It should be noted that Jiang Yang often goes out, so he doesn't stay in the store all the time. He left a number so that customers can call him when they come in.

Keitaro agreed with this.

To be honest, if it were just a coincidence that the two of them were in the store, things probably wouldn't have gone so smoothly. Guilt, still guilt.

"As expected, I'm not a completely bad person after all."

Taking advantage of honest people makes me feel guilty, which means I'm not a good bad person.

However, I never intended to be a bad person anyway.

Jiang Yang, who has watched so many anime and TV shows, understands one thing very well: bad people only get guns pointed at them, while good people get guns pointed at them by even more people. So he doesn't want to be a bad person or a good person.

He just needs to do his job well; whether he's a good person or a bad person is for others to judge.
