Chapter 373 - Extra: Rental Fee Negotiations (2/2)

​ “First off, since I don’t understand hoell it performs, I believe it would be best to set a fixed price for a few e Chief Kehma just in case and he said that the teh to draw a bath, but since its upper and lower values’re a bit vague and ya don’t knohere it’ll actually be, I think setting a fixed price would be dicey”

​ “In that case, I would like to talk about what sort of incoic tool”

​ “No objections here I was thinking that too”

​ Finally finding their firststatements here would be important

​ “I believe that we should take into account water fees, bathing fees for the bath house, et cetera Nothing should be left out”

​ “… Eighty percent That should do it”

​ “Hhty percent of the sales? Sounds fine to me”

​ Cid h the negotiations would have come to a swift conclusion if Dyne accepted it, naturally, Dyne did not reciprocate

​ “Oh, no, please don’t joke around I’d never dreahty percent of the net profit, naturally”

​ (Inner Voice: Ya mishear me? I was obviously talkin’ about net profit!)

​ “Oh, but wouldn’t there hardly be a profit in it for you?”

​ (Inner Voice: Kuh, I guess that was a bit much… But net profit is way too h Cid’s [Sales] and Dyne’s [Net Profit] were both eighty percent, they meant the difference between heaven and earth

​ Let’s explain it briefly

​ Take for instance a box lunch sold for 500 yen Upon selling a single box lunch, [Sales] would increase by 500 yen [Net Profit], however, would be 500 yenlabor costs,that the rate of profit for the box lunch was 25 ( for a profit of 125 yen per unit sold) and that unsold boxes are discarded ( for a loss of 375 yen per unit discarded), the [Net Profit] of the [Sales] of seventy-five out of one hundred units would add up to 0 yen of [Net Profit] and could have actually caused a debt if any less had sold

​ What Dyne was asking for was eighty percent of this [Net Profit] It was a value that could actually become an expenditure

​ Obviously, this was not so Cid could accept If he did, this would accuratitude

​ “Dyne-dono, as a reater profits”

​ (Inner Voice: No way I’ that offer)

​ “I’d love to have Draco accept a congratulatory gift if I can Besides, it’s just a e Chief Kehht”

​ (Inner Voice: Now listen here ya copycat, I’e Chief Keh I don’t care even if it’s barely any h, we’re talking about whether we could even continue without the ic tool Wouldn’t it be better for you to take , at least take all of the profit!)

​ By all rights, all of the profit generated by the ic tool should have been Kehma’s to reap After all, there would be no profit without that h

​ “This is a deal for our friendshi+p, yah? The best way for us to be gettin’ along is for us to both to make a profit To be honest with ya, I’d even be fine with sixty percent since we’re friends Village Chief Kehma likes ya, too, he even allowed me as much discretion as possible I could lower it about that et it? The choices are [Friendly Relations] or [Friendly Relations] It’s a great deal, ya can’t pass it up Ah, I could even make it sixty percent)

​ “Even if it’s for the sake of friendshi+p, sixty percent is sihty percent sounds just right”

​ (Inner Voice: Alright! I’ll agree! Eighty percent is fine)

​ “Thanks So we really ith eighty percent of net profit, huh Phew, it’s great we decided so quickly”

​ (Inner Voice: Ah, what’re ya gonna do at that eighty percent if ya get in the red?)

​ “Ooh, it’s nothing Right, I’iven me some amount of preferential treatment I wouldn’t like to burden others, nor am I so shameless as to ever possibly push my failures onto Kehma-dono I would prefer for the contract to take that into consideration, if possible”

​ (Inner Voice: Please, please at least hty percent of the surplus! B-Besides, I’m the son of Pavuera’s lord, I definitely won’t cause a loss! Just that ht? Please listen toyou!)

​ Dyna nodded to Cid’s desperate pleas as if he could read his ood with the contract bein’ for eighty percent of the profit?”

​ (Inner Voice: Hmm, ah well Fine with me)

​ “… And will there not be any security deposit required for the ive you a sue Chief Kehood bit, Cid-saive up)

​ And thus the negotiation over the ic tool’s rental fee was settled

​ Cid and Dyne shook each other’s hands with a firrip
