Chapter 15 (2/2)

– Can I take a look at the cloth?

– Yea, just a moment

After Jean went inside the house of tribal chief, he caht the cloth

You could tell that it was carefully produced even without saying

Nevertheless, there was a s it ater

Eiji took out the soap which was inside the jar

– What’s that?

– It’s called soap

– It’s white and feels slimy What do you use it for?

– You use it to remove the stain This cloth is a little bit dirty

– Well, I had it washed before, but looks like it got stained with dust while on my way here It can’t be helped

– Can I borrow one?

– Yeah, I don’t mind

– How about you soak it in the water, then smear and rub it with the soap…?

– H-Hey! The way the dirt comes off, isn’t it completely different?! W-what’s that?!

– It’s called soap

– I know its name, but I want to kno you made it! Is this the only one you have?!

While surprised, Jean draw closer to Eiji

The piece of cloth, which he held in one hand, was pretty clean In the other hand, the stain, which had fallen off, rested It was ether with the oil content

– I can’t tell you the process ofit As for the amount, I’ve more than 10 pieces of turtle shells, but still, I cana specific time

– Does it contain ato do with the seasons?

-…Well, you could say so

Regardless of hiot in touch with an unknown object, he had a sharp guess draithin a moment from the conversation

I can’t say unnecessary things – deeht to carefully choose his words

– But, it’s not the only feature of that soap

– What?!

– Once you regularly wash clothes using this, it will reduce the number of lice As for acari (taxon and mites) and fleas, it won’t help et bit by a louse, then it’s bye bye

– Hey…

– Yes?

– Give me as much as you can

Jean’s gaze was grave

One could i soap

The peddler, who had the vision of profits in front of his eyes, while relared at Eiji in wish

But Eiji didn’t intend to sell it cheap

Besides him, only Pietro kne to make it

This couldthe value of this precious item

– How about this much?!

– Won’t do

– And this much?!

– Not enough, not enough

– How about this much!?

– Do you honestly think that this much would do?

– I’m already at my limit!

– Shout once more!

– Alright! With this it should be fine! How is that, are you content?!

– Yes, this much should do

– Honestly… you’re a hell of a skillful negotiator ain’t you?

Jean was gasping with breath, whereas Eiji had a face of chuckling to himself

Quite a lot of iteed

In addition to cotton cloths and knitting wool, there were precious old, and silver Other than that, Eiji got oil, salt, and dried meat

With this, it will be exceptionally easy to endure the winter, and even have

Even if he were to pass soe, it would still be a lot

However, this could prove to be a far better profit for Jean, and will probably pay off

Eiji was quite curious to what extent could soap yield profits

– Ah, by the way…

– What? I won’t give you any more than this

– That’s not what I es, and bring them here, I’m sure you’ll be happy

– Heh?…Fine, I got it I’ll promise you that

As their negotiation talk ended, they exchanged a handshake

With that, it would reat turmoil beyond anyone’s expectation
