Chapter 69 (2/2)

I easily

That's right I oal

I came to find lace

I didn't come to find the ticket to paradise

The shop was diht in this world is mainly candle Most shops are dim, even if they're not second-hand clothes shops

If you wanted it to be bright, you'd need to have direct sunlight, but the UV rays would cause second hand clothes to deteriorate

For this reason, the shop was di the day

It's extreoods, but fro as the product doesn't deteriorate and the product's flaws cannot be easily seen, it's killing two birds with one stone

For custo able to see very well is a probleger than I i prostitutes, this seeood The products are ― since the shop is targeted at prostitutes, of course, clothes that they desire… No Items that they want to embellish themselves with for work ― or that should have been the case

(TN: Standard japanese classroo? Is this kind of preference common here?” [Jirou]

”E- Even if you ask me… This is a maid's uniform, isn't it? Why would work clothes be sold here? There are also nurse uniforms here… Ah It's not a shop for prostitutes, but a shop for work uniforgesting, 'I'm sure that's it There couldn't be another reason'

Nooo… You're so wrong…

There is nothat this is a shop specially for prostitutes…

Other than work uniforms, they have luxurious dresses like those of the aristocrats', shi+fts that slaves wear, and to top it off, the Canaan tribe's traditional clothes (sailor uniforressive!

No It's not that Erishe is progressive The citizens of the Eenerally like this, that would be scary instead

For roleplay to be mainstream!

The lace was displayed in the corner in the furthest part of the shop

I don't think there's any demand for it other than for roleplay There was no effort put into the display

I' lace and showing off their authority, there was probably a de lady wearing lace looking down on peasants I'll be your hootten ― in other words, in current times where it has become a relic, the shop has left over stock

Well, in this case, the reason why Marina is so insistent on getting a lace handkerchief is evenwith lace, but there were e quantity too I found the lace handkerchiefs ere looking for Cous businessman had, they were more delicate and properly weaved From what I could see, a lot of effort was put into it

In any case, I decided to buy them all Even if it would be a little more expensive than to acquire them from the imperial capital, the ones here have a certain… flavour to it

Now then, I've decided to buy the lace, but the issue is how to purchase thes Prices are usually set by negotiating with the shop owner, and in most cases, the shop owner themselves may not have set a price on an itein, on the other hand, in many cases, it's not decided just based on that

Shopping in here is - how should I say it - not hoeration to say that this is a shop targeting prostitutes and I' to stock up

Of course, if I just buy a few pieces of handkerchief and pretend to be a regular innocent citizen who's just here to 'buy soher But if they think that I' to stock up, they'll jack up the price and , that so as a commodity…

Now then, really How should I do this?

The shop owner is a skinny old man, bald to the top of his head He's the type that's possibly the worse to deal with, the kind whose veins on the forehead are pere a book by its cover, but in reality, there are many such people who think fast on their feet and are difficult to deal with… I think

”Rebeccsan, just an estimate would do, but how much do you think the clothes and lace here are worth approximately? ” [Jirou]

I dropped eable about the market rate than I am

”Let me see… Hn The clothes are not really that nice, so they'll probably cost less than 1 silver The most expensive is probably 5 nickels? Work clothes aren't usually that expensive to begin with, are they? Lace has already been out of fashi+on for a while, so it should be worth around 1 nickel” [Rebecca]

Ok Rebeccsan, it's a basic mistake, but those really aren't work clothes

Wait But if you consider the fact that prostitutes wear them for work, they are work clothes…

So… they're work clothes?

I don't know anyht be a little e them out, that's 8 nickels or so, and the lace at 3 nickels” [Jirou]

”Hn? You're buying the clothes? ” [Rebecca]

”That's right Aurica only has that one ht maybe I'll buy some from here And then, there are also a few items I'm interested in…” [Jirou]

I just won't say directly that I want to buy a few, put Diana and Marina in them, and take a few photos I already know their sizes, so even if they're not here, there shouldn't be a problelass and so in broad daylight? Well, he's got a shop targeting prostitutes in this area, so I'

It's my loss if I think from the japanese perspective…

But, I could use this Let's go with this

title: ”Matsuri Negotiation Strategy”

I thought Rebeccsan y to her, she was unexpectedly enthusiastic about it

I could have just bought it, but to want to put in extra (unnecessary) effort - I'm not sure if that's because of the merchant vocation or the swindler vocation Anyway, both are in with
