Chapter 15: Two Years from Jackson’s Perspective
'To think it has been two years ever since the battle with the goblins. Time really flies by when you are having fun, I guess. But man... I still can't believe Ichiro, even after all this time, I'm still sitting here perplexed at the crazy magic he has come up with.'
Thinking back, it all started when one of the guards called me, telling me a random kid had appeared on the eastern side of the fence carrying a cart full of people.
I had to see it to believe it, and just as I looked at the suspicious kid, I inspected him. To my surprise, this kid was a demi-god! In the flesh, right in front of me.
It was when I talked to him that I realized he was just a normal kid. Well... Not exactly normal, but he was a good person.
He was just as oblivious to the world as a normal kid. I told him about the problems that the village was having only because he seemed curious about it. The reality was that I didn't want to involve anyone else in our mess.
I really thought I wouldn't see the demi-god kid again. He told me he lived deep in the forest, so it's not like anyone would be looking for him.
Imagine my surprise when just a few days later, he showed up again carrying fruits and vegetables. And he didn't stop there...
He kept coming back, bringing us even more food and products that we never imagined we could have in this village. His potions became Mr. Olliver's most famous items. Nowadays, we get dozens of new people coming into town daily just to buy Ichiro's potions.
It wasn't just the potions. He built that "hot spring" place which was one of our most popular establishments. He even had to build a second one later on since the first one was always full of people.
Both his "shampoo" and scented soaps became huge in the entire country, apparently.
At some point, we started getting dozens of merchants from the town of Speranza coming over to buy hundreds of shampoo bottles and soaps to sell over there.
