A God Killed Me By Accident, But I Reincarnated As The 4th Son Of The Marquis

“Quite a nice place we have here,” The journey to the town only took a few more hours. It wasn’t as big as their territory. 

However, it was comfy. 

May grinned, “We have a White Owl merchant store here as well. It was only the bakery that needed to be constructed this time. Do you want to check it out first?”

“Sure.” 

Michael added, “I’m going to find us an inn to stay in.”

“Gotcha.” So, the group headed to the bakery.

“Why is it so big?” The bakery was bigger than he expected. It had the same concept as the ones in the city. But this one was much larger as it spanned three shops. 

“Ahh, that’s because it’s in a prime location.” May took out a map from her ring, “10 minutes from this town are two villages.” That was why they needed to make this one bigger than the others. It was a location that would garner the attention of three places. 

The same was true with the White Owl Merchant store. 

“I see.” He got the picture. That would mean that the people here needed to work harder. The group entered the building. And when they did,

“Greetings to you, Boss! Ms. Boss!” The workers quickly greeted them.

“Mmhmm. Who’s the manager here?”

“Hello! My name is Tula! I’m the manager of the 50th store!” Tula quickly bowed her head. 

Keith shook his hand, “There’s no need for you to bow your head.”

“Big Brother! Bread!” Leon and Laura jumped up and down. That caused Keith to laugh, “Do you guys have any bread?” 

“Mmhmm! Please give us any feedback!” What better way to get better than getting critique from the boss himself?

“Alright then,” Keith grinned. That was when a few workers then brought out some bread. It was fluffy and lovely. 

Nam! Leon and Laura didn’t hesitate to eat it. The other four did the same. 

“What do you think?” Tula and the other workers were quivering, curious about what he had to say. 

“It’s good.” Keith nodded, “But I can tell you guys are nervous.” It showed in their cooking.

“…” Tula and the rest of the workers said nothing. That caused Keith to laugh, “There’s no need to be shy. It’s normal to feel nervous on the first day.”

“...Were you nervous, Boss?”

“Of course! Opening up on the first day, the amount of people I saw almost made me pee my pants.” 

May blinked. This was news to her. But then he added, “But it became an afterthought once I went inside.”

“Eh?”

“When you see the smiles and satisfaction your customers have when they enjoy what you make, you know that all your hard work wasn’t for nothing.” Keith grinned, “So it’s fine to be nervous in the beginning. But understand what you’re fighting for.”

“Understood!” That made Tula and the others calmer. 

“Good, I will not bother you guys with your work.” Keith smiled as he left, “They got good eyes.” He could see the vigor and excitement they had. They also have the talent as well. 

“Mmhmm, I had chosen them based on that.” 

That was when Keith patted her head, “You’re the best.”

“…” May paused before nodding, “Thank you, Young Master.”

“Anyways, let’s see what I can buy from here.” It was time for him to look for new fruits and vegetables!

“As always,” Carolyn grinned. That was when the group arrived at the stalls. 

“Oooh! What are these?” Keith’s eyes brightened as he noticed a similar fruit. 

“Snow cherries!” Leon and Laura were the ones who said this. 

“Ahh, did these cherries catch your eye? This here is a staple in the northern region.” The stall owner grinned, “Try some.”

“Thank you.” Keith took some and handed them out to the others. That was when Keith took a bite. Hmm, the sweetness isn’t there, but it’s good. The taste was something he could do with. 

“I will take some.” 

“Are you going to make something with it?”

“I have an idea. But it’s going to be for later.” 

...

The next morning, rows of people were before the bakery. Carolyn and Krystal stood away from the crowd as they watched the scene.

“It’s always a surprise to see so many people crowding around the bakery.” This usually happened on the opening day, which was quite magical. It seemed everyone from the other villages had come here.

“Are Keith and May going to be fine with all of them?”

“Of course, this isn’t his first time doing this.” As she had said this, that was when Keith and May had appeared before them.

“Hello. Thank you everyone for coming over here. Today marks an amazing day as it’s the 50th opening of The White Forest Bakery. However, I wasn’t the one who did all the hard work to make this. Now then, let’s have a few words from May.” Keith gestured for the woman to talk.

“…” Young master?

“It’ll be fine. You were the one who made all of this work.” Keith whispered. This was all her doing. It wasn’t something he did. 

May sighed, “Thank you everyone for coming here. Our goal is to spread new foods all over the place. I hope you all enjoy and have a pleasant experience in our bakery. And now the bakery is officially open!” When that was said, the ribbon was ripped, and everyone headed in. 

And that was when everything started.

“Good job, May,” Keith smiled. But that only caused the girl to pout, “Young Master doesn’t play fair.” How could he put her on the spot like that? She got lucky with those words coming to her head.

“You did super well.” Keith smiled. And that was when they saw so many customers entering the bakery. It was a great sight to behold.

“Anyways, we can return home in a few days,” Keith grinned; there were many things they still had to do when they returned home.

“Mmhmm. I will work harder than before!” May grinned.

As the two of them continued on throughout the area,

“You know, you shouldn’t steal.” Keith’s hand had grabbed onto someone’s sleeves.
