Before they knew it, suone and autumn came

The production of soap had begun The type of soap that will be sold is in bar form While it was quicker to manufacture bottled soap, a filled bottle of soap was heavy and a pain to use And thus, they determined that it was better to sell bars of soap

There are 170 barrels of olive oil 1 barrel can produce 30 bars of soap thus 5,100 could be made in total

There are 6 pots that can be used to le pot When the group in charge of cooking isn’t preparing meals, their job is to mold the soap into bars

A barrel of olive oil would fill a single pot just right and 30 bars could be le day, soap can be manufactured 3 times or 540 per day About 5,100 could be produced in 9 days and it takes the soap around 12 days to dry As such, the process ofsoap takes about 20 days

However, that was only in calculations This is the first time the children had made soap As they were not used to the work, there were failures and their production speed was slow

In 1 month they were able to manufacture 4,000 bars

「H I suppose The production speed will gradually pick up and the reht」 (Haruto)

Haruto reads the report that Lora has written up For the tis are in the trial phase Based on this month’s report, it is best for the the nu more pots

Lora shory smile,

Haruto made a wry smile The children are still 10 years old It is better that they do not get injured

「This is yesterday’s financial (estimate) report for July 30」 (Lora)

・Mercenary’s Salary: 300,000

・Slave’s maintanance expenses: 400,000

・Olive Oil: 13 Million (170 barrels)

・Seaweed Ash: 120,000 (120 barrels) ※ an increase of 30 barrels per week

・Rent and Maintenance for Shop: 100,000

・Fee for Carriage (wagon): 30,000

・Total: -225 Million

「Th-this is rough……」 (Haruto)

The 5,100 bars of soap would sell for a gross profit of 255 Million Taking into account the 5 sales tax that leaves them with 242 Million or 140,000 after expenses And then, with the deduction of the 10 income tax that leaves them with a net income of 120,000

「Don’t worry Even if the debt is over 10 Million, ill not stop supporting you There is no need to worry about going bankrupt It won’t be long before the children’s production (soap) speed improves and the calculation are more accurate I believe that it is possible to produce 10,000 pieces per month With double the number of pots and slaves, we could produce 20,000 pieces In that case, the debt would be gone in the blink-of-an-eye!!」 (Lora)

Lora was over exaggerating By the way, her calculations didn’t take into account taxes; the actual amount would be lower

「Well, I suppose so We are just starting out and we do buy the olive oil in bulk so it is cheaper Things will be alright, it ork out」 (Haruto)

「That’s the spirit In the past, the Summers company had a debt of 1 Billion Haruto-san, you will be able to e」 (Lora)

Her encourage Haruto issued Lora a command

「Okay, tomorrow the store will open If I recall, Sol can handle the carriage (wagon) I want you two to transport the soap to the store’s storage house (warehouse) You hear me!」 (Haruto)

「Yes!」 (Lora)

Lora spring out of the shop

August 2, Early Morning

「Then, I leave it to you」 (Haruto)

「Yes, understood」 (Lora)

There is already an order for 3,000 bars of soap Lora is off to deliver the order for the 3,000 bars of soap This is a grantee profit

「I will go sell the other 1,000」 (Haruto)

「I’ll try」 (Haruto)

Haruto replies with a sh, he felt selling that many would be possible

He saw Lora off and opened the door It seems that the advertiseathered to see the new item

「Welcome」 (Haruto)

Haruto sun his service

「Troubling……」 (Haruto)

After the 3rd day of their shop’s opening, Haruto and Lora a puzzled as to what should be done

「This was unexpected It was my mistake……」 (Haruto)

Lora said and sighed

「I can’t believe we sold out in 3 days」 (Haruto)

The two let out a sigh at the same time Their expression seems pleased

100 pieces were sold on the first day and they assuood about the situation

On the 2nd day, they sold 300 pieces and that made them a little concerned about their current stockpile of soap However, they still had 700 left in the back and 10 days later 1,000 s will hold out”, they thought

On the 3rd day, a flood of customers rushed came and in half a day they sold all 700 pieces

「As of no many can we have ready?」 (Haruto)

300 pieces…… this ah

「Is this situation not favorable We can increase production and satisfy the demand!!」 (Haruto)

「Yeah! That’s the spirit, let’s do our best!!」 (Lora)

At the moment Lora raised her voice, Wujek appeared He seeood mood

「You sold 1,000 pieces over the counter (sales)! Is that not great; it is a that you have made 500,000 in 3 days At any rate, that a families in a rural area Well, it is not like those 25 families exist」 (Wujek)

Although the re expenses, they merely make a profit of a few thousand Doraria

「You will be needing more slaves, yes? And, pots also We can have it ready in a hurry I’ll lend you as much money as you want I have prepared the necessary documents here Come, complete the contract without delay」 (Wujek)

Wujek waves around the paper in his hand A rather good guy this person is

On this day, Haruto gained an additional 10 Million in debts, 30 more slaves, and an order for 10 more pots

「Well now, that is quite an a amount of debt」 (Lora)

Haruto sighs as he looked at the loan docu able to return the e the uneasiness he felt about the debt

「It will be alright The debt is not over 100 Million Here, is some ice cream」 (Lora)

Lora hands Haruto ice crea ice cream in this hot weather is delicious

「Ahhh, it is harsh without air conditioning Well, it is cooler than the Summer in Tokyo; that must be due to the dry air here But still, ice cream exist here」 (Haruto)

While eating ice cream, Haruto recalled japan

「This ice crea is it not!」 (Lora)

Alh-sweets and ice crea superhuman

Haruto suddenly turns to look at Lora Because it is suo Lora was thin and boney but now she has put on so chest and wholeso the sweat drip from her nape is kind of sexy

Upon noticing Haruto’s glance, Lora blushed and she becaed the topic

「Ahh, the debt…… recently, I been having drea sold off as a slave……」 (Haruto)

While laughing, Lora encouraged Haruto By chance that Haruto goes bankrupted, he recalled that Lora would end up at a brothel

「You’re right Why a myself over it all If I am anxious than those under !!」 (Haruto)

「That’s the spirit!!」 (Lora)

Haruto gets up
