Chapter 33 (2/2)

Hence, even though I found out that the prices were considerably different than what I had initially thought, I eventually finished pricing all the displayed products. Business start!

1 Silver coin = 100 El

1 White Copper coin = 10 El

1 Bronze coin = 1 El

“How much is this glove?” [customer]

“That will be 1 El.” [Jirou]

“Seriously!? I’ll buy them all.” [customer]

“Ou, kid. Aren’t clean papers really expensive? How much are you selling one sheet for?” [customer]

“I’ll sell the whole bundle for 100 El.” [Jirou]

“100!? One bundle has 30 sheets so is that fine?” [customer]

“It’s fine. There’s no problem at all.” [Jirou]

“Oniichan~ What about this?” [customer]

“That’s called a bamboo-copter. Here’s how it, go!” [Jirou]

“Wah! Amazing! It flew it flew! It’s interesting!” [customer]

“Isn’t it, isn’t it? I’ll sell this to you for a special price of 1 bronze coin.” [Jirou]

“This looks like a nice knitting yarn. How much for one ball of yarn?” [customer]

“Let’s see, this ball of yarn cost 10 El while this one is 30 El.” [Jirou]

“Eh? Will it be all right for such a good price?” [customer]

“Yes. This is a flea market so I’m still studying the prices now.” [Jirou]

“Is that so. Then I’ll buy them all.” [customer]

“What a beautiful stone. It doesn’t seem to be a spirit stone though…….What is this?” [customer]

“That is a gla.s.s bead.” [Jirou]

“Eh…..That’s my first time hearing it……” [customer]

“Once you string the beads together, you can make it into a lovely accessory. I’ll be selling them specially for 5 El each today.” [Jirou]

“It’s cheap. Then I’ll have this…….this and this.” [customer]

“Ou. Those look like fine plates and they are even in a set.” [customer]

“I can sell them individually too if you like. Feel free to have a look at it first.” [Jirou]

“Oo…… The surface doesn’t seem to be uneven and the workmans.h.i.+p is intricate. Aren’t these new too?” [customer]

“Yes. They’re new porcelain plates. Why don’t you give in and buy them as presents for your wife? One will be 50 El but if you buy all 5 in a set, it’ll just be 200 El.” [Jirou]

“Is that the price for a porcelain article? That’s a lie, isn’t it? Just kidding. Of course I’ll buy them. Thank you, niichan.” [customer]

“How much for this hammer?” [customer]

“Just one white copper coin will be fine.” [Jirou]

“How much for these bundle of screws?” [customer]

“Just one white copper coin will be fine.” [Jirou]

“How much will it be for this pen and ink?” [customer]

“It’ll be 1 silver coin for all of them.” [Jirou]

“Oniichan, all your items seem to be amazingly in demand since a while ago. They are almost sold out now….. This doesn’t seem to be sold yet. Hmm? What’s this?” [customer]

“That is…….put a small dose of it onto your hand and apply it to your hair. Just like this.” [Jirou]

“Oo, ooo, is this Lyla grease?” [customer]

“Lyla? No, that’s……a gel that’s exclusively used to hold your hair and maintain them.” [Jirou]

“Hou, it seems pretty good. Even grease doesn’t harden like this. Ou, how much is this?” [customer]

“The whole can will be 30 El. How about it?” [Jirou]

“Fumu~ It’s quite high but…..I’ll try getting it as a souvenir!” [customer]

“Thank you for your patronage!” [Jirou]

……………………

A little past noon, whoa! I’m sold out of everything! Thank you for all the purchases!

Considering that this was the first time, the prices set were quite generous but, they’re amazingly in demand. I was actually expecting certain items to remain unsold. If this was the case then, it might be feasible to stock those items up in large quant.i.ty and sell them for profit too.

All the items sold today were mostly bought in hardware store and 100 yen shop. Granted that 1 El = 150 yen, I would yield a profit regardless of what I am selling. I would be able to make a killing so easily to the extent of ‘uhhauhha’ state.

The first item sold, the cotton gloves originally cost 300 yen for a dozen. Thus, a pair will be 25 yen. So, if 1 El = 150 yen, the profit will be 125 yen each. Since I sold off two dozen at once, 24 El = 3600yen. Although I’m not sure what are the demand for gloves here, it would likely be profitable if I were to bring in leather gloves or gunsoku (soldiers socks) in and open up a store,

The item that was sold at the highest price this time —to be more precise, the item that was confidently priced by Rebecca-san—-was, the paper.

At first, I was thinking of buying 500 sheets of copy paper from the Home Centre to sell but, as I thought they look too ‘clean’ to be sold in the other world. As a result, I ended up selecting was.h.i.+. I took off the vinyl wrappers intentionally and tried selling off the string binding the papers too. After all, this trivial technique was also necessary.

The place where I bought them from was naturally the 100 yen shop. They have was.h.i.+ and almost everything sold there so it’s really convenient………Who would’ve believed that 10 bundles of was.h.i.+ could be sold for 1 gold coin! It would be scary if it gets too lucrative so it might be better for me to exercise caution when I sell the papers……….

Rather, are clean papers that sought-after in this other world?

Personally, the goods that seem to yield the most harmless profit were the knitting yarns. I have purchased quite a lot of them but they were sold out instantly. The power of raw material is amazing.

Well, since I couldn’t leave the unexpectedly prosperous place earlier due to the booming business, I quickly cleaned up so I could hunt for things to be auctioned this time.

I was planning on buying a weapon for myself after this so I could get Rebecca-san to teach me how to fight……..

I can finally arm myself with a sword!

After going around the flea market for about two hours and stocking up on various goods, I went back to the inn to leave the things behind before coming out once again.

Now, let’s go buy a weapon!

“Jirou, are you really fine with second-hand ones? Generally new weapons should be better, isn’t it?” [Rebecca]

“Yes. I’m quite curious on what kind of second-hand weapons are available so I would like to take a look at them first by any means.” [Jirou]

Thus, we’re currently at a shop that sells used weapons and armours to Rebecca-san. In short, it was called a second-hand shop but, I had requested her to introduce me to one despite that.

I made a great find among the used items when I was purchasing Diana’s robe the other time so it came across my mind that there might be more if I were to search through them.

I have used it several times while I was shopping at the flea market earlier but, today was certainly the festival for 『The Mirror of Truth』!
