Chapter 117: 117 Episode 117: Shopping is the scent of your own home.txt

Not a bad way to make money on Netflix.

Good - let's just say it's good.

I sold some lace a while ago and it turned out to be a lot of money and I've been able to save some money.

Hand-woven cloths like bedsheets are selling consistently and miscellaneous items are popular. Occasionally, there are some items that go unbid, but if you turn the bidding around a few weeks, you usually win the auction.

However, it's just a level of making money at the internet auction. My monthly income is over 200,000 yen, but that's about it. Considering the overwhelming advantage of being in a different world, it's a pretty small scale.

It's a bit late to say this, but I'm still a solid - or rather, petty - guy. Well, if I go with a bang, I'm sure I'll be in big trouble.

Anyway, let's keep it at this scale for a while, until I start my online shop.

I left the store to Etois, Deanna and the others and went out to shop.

I didn't do any shopping at Elishe, but rather at Earth ......, or rather Japan. The reason for this is because Aeon is living in a new mansion and needs to get some additional things.

After all, the guy is a girl and a princess.

And it's a real one.

It's not a forgery or an imitation, like a pseudo-princess or an Otasaa princess. It's a true work. A true work of art.

I don't know what I'm talking about.

"We'll start with the bed.

Ion is currently sleeping with Deanna and Marina.

Although it's a king-sized bed, it's just three women. I haven't (unfortunately) peeked at the circumstances under which they are sleeping, but I'm sure it's cramped. I have an image of Deanna, who seems to sleep in a large figure without restraint. There's even a suggestion of Marina sleeping on the floor.

So anyway, it's imperative that we buy a bed.

When I think of a princess bed, I think of that thing with a canopy.

But I can't afford it, so I'll just buy an ordinary, cheap folding bed.

It's just like the one Orica uses. It's my sister's hand-me-down, but it should be enough for the time being. When things settle down a bit, we can switch to the otherworldly luxury bed that Deanna and Marina are using. That's a good thing, too.

After buying the bed at the furniture store, I bought a mattress, comforter, and pillows at Ni**lis.

I also bought a set of mattresses and a futon for Shamash. The mattresses made in other worlds are made of natural materials, which is a good thing, but from a practical point of view, modern Japanese mattresses are probably better than the ones made in Japan, because they're made of chemicals.

And I also bought various sundries. I bought a lot of sundries because they were cheap.

The next step is to buy clothes ...... or rather underwear.

The place to head is Yucclo.

This is the Yu`ukuro in times of trouble. However, you don't have to buy so many things.

First of all, underwear. The quality of underwear is certainly better in Japan than in other worlds. And yet, they are cheap.

Men tend to think that buying women's underwear is a high hurdle for them, but once you get used to it, it's nothing to worry about. Shopping is shopping, no matter what you buy. As long as you pay for it, it's OK.

By the way, I'm using the size that Marina measured for me.

It's about the size of Deanna's hair. I'm hoping that she'll grow out of it.

The underwear from Yucclo is cheap but simple. They don't look very pretty, but they're good for that. And I don't feel too much fetishism when it comes to underwear either.

As far as quality goes, I think it's a product that even a princess would appreciate ....... I'm not sure how good or bad women's underwear is.

Other than underwear, I'd pick socks, pajamas, loungewear, and a random t-shirt or something else.

Even though it was cheap, I picked the one with further discounts and bought it.

In the end, I bought too much of this and that and ended up spending more than 30,000 yen, but I'll consider it a necessary expense.

Well, as for the clothes, there are some that I bought for Deanna. I'm sure they'll fit in, so you can get some second-hand.

Marina's might be a little big for me.

After I finished shopping at Aeon, I headed to my usual fabric store.

We use the fabric store to stock up on items to sell at Elishe's market, or to check the texture of the actual items that we can't find on the internet.

It's a fairly large store, so the prices are reasonable, and the frequency of use is high.

I entered the parking lot and got out of the car.

A banner that said "SALE" fluttered in front of the store.

Once inside the store, there are many "Sale" flyers all over the store.

It seemed to mean that they were having a sale, which everyone loved.

Oh, yeah," I said. I was just going to take a look at it, but it was a great opportunity to buy in bulk!

The mini-car was already stuffed with luggage, but there was still plenty of room for as much cloth as possible.

I quickly looked through the sale items.

A glittering red bill. The words "50% off" loomed over my chest.

In most cases, the sale items are mainly unpopular patterns. The other items are bad inventory, items that we stocked a lot of but didn't sell as well as we expected.

But that doesn't matter. Sale is just precious.

I'm the one who chooses the cloths I buy when I'm crazy about them.

At the moment, the main items I deal in at the store in the other world are plain cloths.

It's just cotton cloth, but it sells consistently well. That's because I'm the only one in Elishe that deals in "machine-ponge yarn and machine-woven cloth", which only exists in "hand-spun yarn and hand-woven cloth".

The material itself is the same cotton. However, only the weaving method, or the manufacturing method is a secret.

To begin with, most of the people who buy cloth in such a market are local women. In that sense, I can say that I've been able to make a very low-profile profit.

Well, that's why I've been building my business on that basis, but it's time for me to expand my business with the knights.

It's time to try out new products.

Most of the cloths sold in other worlds are ordered online these days.

After all, the basis of business is to buy cheaply and sell at a high price. That's why we want to stock up on cheap fabrics, our core merchandise.

At the cheapest store on the Internet, you can buy it really cheaply for about 150 yen per meter. I sell this at about 10 times the price, so I can make a very stable profit.

However, even in this age of overabundance, there is still a limit to the types of cloth you can buy for 150 yen per meter. I can stock a large quantity of cloth because I use it in my business, so this price is realized, but it is usually impossible.

Of course, you may see a price of 100 yen per meter on sale. However, you can't choose the type of fabric you want to use, so you can stock them, but it's hard to make them the main item. Even if a customer likes it, it's not good enough for the next shipment.

So, when we stock up on these things, we traditionally sell them to our regular customers for a reasonable price.

By the way, it was quite cheap this time, too.

The fact that it's on sale means that it's a one-off item. The fact that it was on sale means that it was a one-off item, which means that there is no plan for the next shipment of the product at the store: .......

That's why I wouldn't have stocked up on this stuff until now, but...

Tartan checkered fabric.

Weird cat character print fabric.

Navy blue thin polyester fabric.

Black felt.

Bright red corduroy.

30 balls of yarn.

Three rolls of ribbons.

Embroidery thread and sewing thread.

I took the plunge and bought various things.

They were all discounted by 50% to 70%. That's quite a discount.

By the way, after I bought a few things, I realized that cloth is very expensive, even in Japan.

Cheap cloth can be sold for 100 yen a meter or so, but those are the exception.

Normally, cloth is sold in units of 10 centimeters, so in that case, the smallest unit would be 10 yen cloth. This is either too cheap or it's the lowest priced cloth (although very cheap cloth is actually sold in longer units).

So how much does a typical piece of fabric cost? It's about 5 to 10 times the price.

50 to 100 yen per 10 cm.

500 to 1000 yen per meter. You'd think that's a realistic amount of money.

Above this price range, the cloth becomes a bit more expensive.

200 yen for 10 centimeters is plenty expensive enough. 2,000 yen for one meter.

At this level, it's a bit of an adventure to stock up on fabric to sell in another world. If you are selling it as if it were a cheap cloth, you would be selling it for 20,000 yen per meter. It's quite a luxury fabric.

In fact, it is not too expensive for those who are extravagant and easy to wear.

What is the most famous luxury fabric in Japan?

There are many, but the most famous one that comes to mind is "cashmere".

Cashmere is a kind of goat's hair from the mountainous region, but it is sold at a very high price because of its low production and high quality.

By the way, this cashmere costs about 40,000 yen per meter in Japan (although it varies).

In another world, it would be 400,000 yen for a meter of cashmere. It's almost a treasure.

If I were to make a coat as well, I would use about 4 meters of it. The fabric alone would cost 1.6 million yen. It was truly a dress for the nobility.

However, he had no intention of selling 400,000 yen worth of cloth.

However, it is a fact that 40,000 yen worth of cloth exists in Japan if it is of high quality and good quality.

If that's the case, then of course it would be the case in other worlds, and the trend should be rather strong.

Now it's just a matter of whether I'm prepared to handle high quality cloth or not.

However, I don't want to make the same mistake as I did with velvet. If I'm going to sell luxury cloth, I'll see if I can talk to someone around Rebecca. It might be just as well to prepare some samples and choose a safe one from them.

Speaking of velvet, what happened to the chubby merchant after that?

There was supposed to be something about being Deanna's support person in place of the Solo family, but I haven't seen her at all since she announced that she was going to visit Lakeside Street. There's nothing wrong with not being there, but there's also a sense of what's going on with the job.

Hetty-san said she was going back to the imperial capital to find out where her parents live, so I wonder if we'll find out when she gets back?

Or is it normal to spend this long at a summer resort in the sense of a vacation in that world? I've heard that even the earth is a bit weird in Japan.

Anyway.

I'll sell the new cloth I bought this time, at a reasonable price.

Or maybe it's time to get out of the street market and rent a real shop and sell them there.

The number of people who can work properly hasn't increased yet, but we're also going to have a knight squad, and we want a shop that can be our base of operations as well.

Suddenly, it occurred to me that now might actually be the time to start a new shop.

Thanks to the battle in Luclaera the other day, I have a mountain of magical crystals.

There isn't much demand for them in Elishe, so they won't sell for that high a price, but they are originally worth a good amount of money. With that much money, it's enough to rent a store.

As for the products, there is no problem. The advantage of a mirror is an absolute advantage, and I want to sell the work that I made in collaboration with the grand master of the blacksmith shop.

The only problem is the lack of shopkeepers, but in the process of growing the knightly corps from now on, we should be able to hire a knightly woman .......

If not, I can take another new apprentice.

Also, all you really need is my resolve.

Well, even if you're sober, you've already made a fair amount of acquaintances in Elishe, and you should be able to afford to rent a small shop .......

◇◆◆◆◇

I came home with a plan for this and that new store. I brought my stuff into the mansion and set up the bed.

You are reading story The Amusing Other World Trading Travelogue of Net Auction Guy at novel35.com

A new bed and a new mattress. Adjusting the height of the bed to match the height of the bed that Deanna and the others had originally used.

The bed Deanna and her friends had been using was about a king size.

It was quite large since they had to connect a single bed to it. If I packed it in, it looked like it could sleep five people. It may have been a bit too luxurious.

It might have been too luxurious to the level where it wouldn't be a problem if I slept with them, too.

The bedroom itself is also the largest room in the mansion.

At first, I thought about putting Ion's new bed in the room that Orica is using, so that the maids could share a room with each other, but Orica's room is too small. If we put two beds together, it would be a room with just a bed in it, so it was impossible.

I put together a color box I bought at Nijiri and put the clothes I bought for Aeon in it.

This would be OK for now.

I opened the vocation board and checked the guidance.

'Get your own home 0/1'

It seems that this guidance will be cleared if I stay in this mansion.

I wasn't having trouble with the spirit stone, so I went through it for now, but if I get My Home, it's a clan benefit that allows me to teleport to the home once a day from anywhere, or something like that.

I want to try it, that teleportation.

No, it sounds a bit scary actually.

So, I'm going to stay there today.

...... Of course, I'm going to sleep on the living room couch.

Just because the bed is bigger, it's impossible for me to suddenly join the girls and sleep in the same bed with them!　

Don't you dare shout at me, child emperor!

◇◆◆◆◇

When I walked out into the yard, Ion had just finished cleaning the stables, so I spoke to him.

'Aeon, good job. Are you getting used to your job?

Good night, Ayase. I was a little confused at first, but now I'm having fun with it. Orica-san, Deanna-san, and Marina-san are all good people.

Aeon, a former princess, has never cleaned stables before, but she is hard at work in the mansion with a thin layer of sweat glistening on her nape.

I'm a wimp, so I'm a little nervous about making her work like this, but I'm not sure she's really going to be able to handle it.

Orica is probably the same type of person, so it's probably a good idea to keep Ion's origins a secret.

Incidentally, there's only me, Aeon and Orica in the mansion right now.

Deanna and Marina are out at the store.

I'm glad to hear that. Is the job done for now?　I need you to look at something for me.

After nodding one yes, I called Aeon to her room and showed her the bed, the clothes and underwear I had bought.

'For now, underwear and loungewear. The bed is also too small for the three of us, so I added one more. A place to sleep - or rather, the order in which they were arranged?　You can talk to those guys and decide.

'This for me ......?'

Aeon unfolds her pajamas and gives her a surprising look.

I can't wear these cheap ones!　It wouldn't be .......

You're a former princess, but you're humble.

But since you're going to be living with us from now on, I'll at least provide you with the necessities of life, since you're a live-in maid. You're a live-in maid, you know.

'Such good quality stuff at ....... Thank you for your concern.

Just check it out. I'm sure it's all right. Size.

Size ......

Aeon mumbles and takes her bra in her hand.

He looks at me and instantly blushes, as if he didn't expect it.

Oops, as expected, it was embarrassing for them to know my size .......

''Eh, um, this is the one that Deanna-san and Marina-san are wearing, right?''

Do you know how to put it on?

Heh, is this your first time in a bra?　I'll show you how to do it. Like this, you can scrape up the flesh in the armpit with a goof. ......

Marina taught me.

Aha!

Well, you will.

All joking aside, this will be good for some clothing-related things at Aeon.

If you don't have enough, you don't have to buy them in Japan, you can buy them second-hand at Elishe.

I already have my maids' clothes (which I bought second-hand) for them to wear, so I don't need a lot of them.

I somehow sit down on the bed and watch Ion carefully fold and put away the clothes and underwear once they are unfolded.

Her skin is clear and her hair is a fresh, light blue color. Her long hair is now tucked into a side-tail.

She looks like a beautiful girl who has come to our home.　

'Ayase, how are you and Shamash doing these days?'

While folding his clothes, he asks me if I'm making small talk.

'Not really. We've had a few drinks together, but that's about it.

Shamash-san is my slave, and she's erotic, and I have a desire to be erotic and sippy, but as expected, I'm not at that stage yet.

No, isn't that what Aeon's question was meant to be in this case?

'Shamash is lonely like that, for goodness sake. Shamash, I'm sure he's waiting for an invitation from Ayase. I'm so cute and I'm incredibly unsure of myself. ......

Surprising. That seems to be the intention of the question. The invitation is .......

Well, that's just a part of it. ......

I'm not sure what to say.

Because I haven't done anything with anyone yet and I'm like, "Let me handle it, I'm going to get a shot at it! I can't say that.

I mean, if nothing else, there's honestly nothing to say about Deanna or Marina or anything else. To put it bluntly, there were plenty of opportunities for me to have that kind of relationship with those two. It's different now than it was in the beginning. I think we've warmed up our relationship, and I think we have the feelings.

But the reason why it hasn't happened is that I'm a coward. The other reason is that I'm comfortable with the relationship we have now, and I'm confident that if I continue to warm up, there will be a time when we can become that kind of relationship without difficulty.

It's the same with Rebecca. She gave the OK sign that night at Luclaera.

There was a good chance she would have just pushed through that night if Deanna hadn't interfered, but that didn't happen in the end.

However, that was just the result of what happened, and it means that they already have feelings for each other.

Then there would come a time when you and Shamash would eventually feel that way, and it would be that way. And I don't think it's a matter of being impatient with Shamash-san alone now.

If we have the right feelings and situations for each other, it will happen.

It will happen.

I think it will happen.

I think it will be.

Yes, that's an excuse!　

The bottom line is that I'm just a slacker!

Don't you dare shout at me, child emperor!

◇◆◆◆◇

And that night.

'I'm staying at the mansion today because of the guidance of the example, but I'll sleep on the couch, so don't worry about it.

When I said that while we were eating, everyone responded immediately.

'Eh, mister, at least use my bed. I'll sleep on the couch.

Orica's bed, you know? Well, it's not bad, but it's fine on the couch.

No, I'll sleep on the couch, so you can use the bed, Ayase.

In Aeon's bed, you know? That would be the equivalent of sleeping with Deanna Marina.

There's no need to use the sofa; there's plenty of room beside Marina. The bed is wide. When I looked at it earlier, it was even wider. There was no problem. Marina will be a hugger.

I'll be standing next to Marina. That's very tempting, but I'm feeling really tired.

"Tell you what," he said. Let Marina sleep on the sofa and Aeon's bed will be moved to Orica's room and the master and I will sleep in that bed. It's a good idea, if I do say so myself.

Do you guys want to share the bed so badly?

I'm a guy, too: ......!

'I like ....... I'd like to join in: ............

Shamash mutters. Do you want to join us?　Add to this .......

'Good. I've heard all the opinions of everyone. I'll take the compromise and sleep on the couch by myself!

I mean, it's the only way to start.

Then they're all cute together! If you can do it, then you won't have any trouble in the beginning.

Besides, sleeping on the sofa is not a problem for me at all.

Our couch is so big that it's not a problem for me to sleep on it.

In the end, my decision is final.

Deanna was a goner to the end, but eventually it was time to go straight to bed.

I still have some work to do, though.

Once I get out of the mirror and turn on my computer, I check the online auction. I pack up the winning bids and write down the address to which they should be sent. I'll have it ready at night and take it to the post office first thing in the morning.

After playing with the board for a while, I took a bath and went through the mirror with a blanket in my hand to go to bed.

It was now a little before midnight.

Everyone usually falls asleep at 9:00 a.m. I'm sure I'm already in a dream.

Trying not to make a sound, I climbed the stairs to the living room.

The living room was illuminated by the moonlight.

In a world with two moons, it's quite bright even at night.

............?

Someone is sitting on the couch.

A body emerges suspiciously in the moonlight coming in through the window.

A woman with purple hair cropped at the shoulder turns around when she notices me.

'Marina or ......?'

...... Lord, Marina, we've been waiting for you. I was hoping you would not come.

He smiled softly at Nihla as he said this.

One Marina, dressed in her pajamas, was standing in front of the couch, waiting for me.

This guy is going to be a long night, man!
