Chapter 141: 141 Episode 141: The new store has a scent of progress.txt

What kind of money was 100 million yen?

Ten thousand dollar bills ......?

A hundred million pennies?

It doesn't seem realistic at all, but there's a feeling that if you have 100 million yen, you'll be able to live with it.

No, when I look at the recent lottery tickets for 600 million yen or 1 billion yen, it may not be enough to live on for fun.

I'm still in my early twenties, and my life has a long way to go, so that's too much.

If that's the case, it's 100 million yen.

One million yen is 100 pieces.

100,000 yen is 1000 pieces.

...... Hmmm.

In order to live idly, it may be impossible to sell 10 spirit stones.

I don't know if Yumegen will buy it or not.

''But hey, ...... spirit stones or ............

Because the spirit stone is a miracle stone, there are many uses for it over there (emesparet) as well.

It can be used to rejuvenate, and it can also be used to treat injuries and illnesses.

Ah.

I see, even if you bought the spirit stone from me with 100 million dollars, if you do rejuvenation magic against a millionaire or cure a disease with Mr. Yumegami's contacts, you can make more ...... that's billions of dollars?

Well, 100 million is a lot of money, so I'm not going to be the one to tell you about how to use the spirit stone: .......

It doesn't matter how much money you have in this world. Money is power. I'm sure Yumegen is well aware of that.

I'm sure the reason why those people are able to live comfortably in Japan is because of the power of money.

I took out my phone and sent a text message to Yumegen-san.

''Spirit stones, I'm thinking of selling them, but what are you going to use them for?

The reply came quickly.

''Insurance in case a family member gets injured or sick. I won't use it for anything strange, so don't worry. I mean, it would be a bad idea to use that thing in a big way in this era.

I see.

It seems that Yumegen's family is a big one.

With just one spirit stone, most diseases of this era can be cured. After all, this is the future of super-science.

''PS. We'll take care of the taxes, don't worry about it.

I got an additional email.

Taxes. As I recall, with a gift of $100 million, the taxpayers get half of it. The person who receives it.

Well, I'll leave it to rich Mugen-san, who is probably familiar with the know-how of that area.

◇◆◆◆◆◇.

I don't know if I'll sell the spirit stone or not, but with the 5 million yen I sold the platinum, I don't think I'll have any trouble with the Japanese yen for a while, so I think I'll use it to hasten the opening of the new store.

I've been paying the rent for the street-level store for some time now. Three gold coins.

I grabbed the 300,000 yen and drove to the craft supply store.

I'm going to buy fabric ......, in other words, fabric.

The new store is going to sell swords and knives made by Grand Master Dargos, but of course they are going to continue selling the fabric itself.

For now, three rolls of satin.

The luster of this cloth will surely make Elishekko's heart skip a beat.

As expected, I didn't use velvet this time.

Two rolls of tartan cotton and two rolls of madras check. I also bought some more gingham checks.

Organza and hard tulle.

I also bought a roll of denim fabric, one thick and one thin.

I bought too much ......

I'm a little overzealous.

As soon as I have a little extra money, this is it.

I bought enough fabric to fill the back seat of my light car and was on my way home.

I stopped at a jewelry store and bought a chain for a necklace.

These chains are of better quality than the modern ones. Machine-made ones have less variation in quality and are more precise. This is especially noticeable for things like chains.

Back at home, I carry a large amount of fabric into my room.

It may be a fine line of dough, enough or not enough for the first opening. Because there are a lot of wealthy people in Elishe, and if the fabric is a bit expensive, you could even buy all of it (・・・・) if it's rare.

Of course, that's just as well. It is because we should be happy to sell as long as we do it as a business. The products themselves can be replenished in Japan as much as you want, so they can come in as many times as you want. As long as Mr. Yumegen buys the spirit stones, there is virtually no deficit. A certain amount of restraint might be necessary, but it's better to think of it as an opportunity to grow both the business and the knight squad.

I take the amethyst pendant head out of my desk drawer. It was acquired during his time in the black business.

Amethyst is a relatively cheap gemstone, however, it has always had a certain level of popularity. It's partly because it's a beautiful stone, but the main reason is probably because it's so well known.

Put the chain I bought through this and it's done.

I passed through the mirror and carried the fabric into the mansion.

'Orica, Marina, are you back?'

I ask Orica, who was cleaning her room. Marina often trains with Rebecca and Ion in the morning. It's 11:30 before noon now. It's a delicate time to be home.

'Yes, she came back just now. He should be in the stables now.

Thanks.

Marina was in the stables, brushing her horse.

She is gently brushing her beloved horse's back while talking to the horse about something.

She doesn't seem to have noticed my presence yet.

I can't help but feel a sense of mischief when I see Marina, dressed in a dirty outfit, taking care of the horse in a worthy manner.

I give her a governor's hug from behind and say, "Dare? And for the desire to do it, .......

...... No, that's just s*xual harassment dads. You have to weigh yourself.

I'm going to give you a gift now, so let's dress it up.

Good night, Marina.

'Lord!　Good evening, sir!　You're going out, sir?　Then you'll have to wait for me to get ready in a minute.

Marina turns around with a bang and says.

She thought I was going out somewhere with my horse.

'No, we're not going out yet. You can have lunch first.'

Is that so? What is the matter with you, then?

I'm looking for Marina. Let me see. This is the necklace I promised you before. I used the first crystal, you know. Not that I'd trade for it.

I take the necklace case from my pocket and open it to show Marina what's inside.

It is a simple necklace with deep purple amethysts.

It's not just a matter of time before you get your hands on it.

Marina says as she rolls her eyes and devours it.

In this world, jewel-shaped jewelry is very valuable. After all, jewels are basically spirit stones, so their value is immeasurable.

As far as I know, the only people I've seen wearing jeweled jewelry are Deanna and Hetty, and then Efta, Dida, and the mayor of Milkpearl.

Rebecca also wears a garnet ring all the time, but that was a gift from me.

'I'll put it on,'

I take the necklace from the case and put it around Marina's neck.

'Hawaawa: ......'

Marina's body shuddered and her eyes reflected the glow of the necklace around her neck, the amethyst on the pen top.

The amethyst sparkled in the light.

Purple crystal (amethyst) is a relatively cheap stone, but it has a long history and has been prized for ages.

The amethyst I had was first class. It's a good size, too.

Hawaawa ....... Hawaawa .......

Marina takes her eyes off the stone and stares straight into my eyes.

A very small voice is escaping from my lips, "Hawaawaawa ......".

Her moistened eyes stare straight at me, but toronically.

'Ah, Lord which ......'

Marina nibbles at Jiridgely.

...... marina...... I've never been so thrilled. I'm sure you're going to be able to find out more about the fact that you'll be able to get a lot more than just a few of the things that you've been looking for. It's heartbreaking: ...... It's heartbreaking: ......

Large tears start to flow from Marina's eyes.

"Dehehe. I am embarrassed that I have turned into such a crying face. I can't stop crying even though I'm so happy.

Marina blushes and laughs and is embarrassed.

Surprised, crying, laughing, embarrassed... Marina is full of emotions, and it's adorable to watch her express herself.

That's why I couldn't resist hugging her.

I'm not going to be able to get it right. It is dirty, Marina, it is dirty ......?

I don't mind.

When I hug her loosely, Marina tenses up for a moment and stiffens. But she immediately relaxes and puts her arms around Oz Oz and her back.

She looks up at me with a curious look on her face.

'Marina's got a lot of body heat ....... It's warm.

I'm so happy that I got a gift from the Lord at ...... and I'm feeling so happy and happy.

In the days of black companies, seniors used to say that jewelry as a gift for women always had a certain destructive power, and that seems to be the case in other worlds as well.

Or rather, Rebecca-san always wears the ring I gave her with great care, so I guess that's the way it is after all. I'm sure you're not going to be able to get a gift like this for me, especially since Marina would not have had any connection to this kind of gift, so I'm not sure how much I'm impressed.

............

............ It's about time you found out.

What's wrong with me?

...... It's fine to stick with the Lord when you're all together, but if you're doing this alone, you'll feel like you're missing out on something ......... ...I feel like I'm doing something wrong. ......

Okay.

I don't mind being found separately, but it's true that Marina may have some concerns because of her position.

You're not a slave anymore, so there's no need to be concerned about it, I think.

We hugged each other one more time, then smiled embarrassingly as if we had come to our senses and quickly left the place.

◇◆◆◆◇

The opening of the street shop was finally imminent.

The advance publicity might not be as complete ...... as it could be. It's an upscale store, so the demographic that has money to spend has to know about it, because I couldn't make it to the Knight's Parade, where I was supposed to get to know that demographic.

I heard that Rebecca and Etois had done some business with me, but it's been over two months since then. I don't think I can count on it.

We've put up fliers, informed acquaintances and stall patrons of the opening, and all that kind of low-key publicity has gone without a problem. I've met with Mr. Milk Pearl once to tell him.

Milkpearl-san is planning to give me my first job with the Knights of the Order as well, but she said it will be after the Hitotsutsuzuki is finished. There are four monster spots managed by Elishe's government office, including the forest by Shero's house.

Basically, they are commissioned and managed by contracted warriors like Shero, but only the Hitotsutsuki are budgeted by the government office to secure warriors.

The warriors are basically members of the Hunters' Guild, and a group of about thirty warriors can ride out a Hitotsutsuki at a site.

I've heard that when the Hitotsutsuki is over, winter will come in earnest, and even during that time there is hardly any work that can be sent to the knights.

Elishe was licked because the weather was comfortable, but when winter comes, it's supposed to snow quite a bit. If it's going to snow like that, there's a chance they won't be able to leave the mansion. Then maybe they wouldn't be able to open the shop, or they'd have to leave it to Etoi and Elepippi, who lived in the city.

Either way, it looks like we should have some winter items in the new shop.

We were visiting the new store just before it opened.

The interior and exterior are complete. It was designed by Shamash, similar to the design of his house where he lived in hiding in Luklaera.

It's a bewitching, eye-catching design, in the style of Art Nouveau.

In Elishe, where most of the houses are made of simple, sturdy stone, it is especially eye-catching.

It is a street-level store in a prime location facing a main street, so it is sure to attract a lot of attention.

Most of the merchandise has been brought in.

A security barrier has also been set up by the priest and Mr. Shamash in collaboration with the priestess (although she hated it).

Well, it's only an insurance policy, though, since Elishe is a safe place and apparently there's almost no danger of being robbed.

There were quite a few applications for new members in the knightly corps as well.

Originally the fliers for recruiting members were distributed in several places, mainly in the temple, but it seems that the knightly corps parade was still effective.

Applications from women in the knight's vocation are arriving at the priestesses' place in a flurry of applications. There are also applications from outside of Elishe.

Elishe is a special commercial zone, and people from other places can't easily live in this city, but that's unless I hire them. If I'm an official guild member and own a street shop, I can hire people from outside the special zone as a means of employment.

It may possibly be difficult for me to live in Elishe just because I'm going to be a member of the Knight's Guard. Even now, I hear that people who have entered Elishe illegally have been caught from time to time.

I look at the merchandise on the table.

There is a section of cloth and a section with knives and Japanese swords.

The shop is not very large, but it could be used to sell more winter gear.

A salon is also available for customers to relax in. I'm thinking of offering some earth-grown sweets here.

Hey, boss. What's the price?

Etowah asks. Etoi is going to keep the manager in charge of the new store.

It's an exclusive shop. 'It's a high class store,' he says, 'and I've seen a lot of high class shops in Elishe, but I think the prices should be in line with that.

Yes, sir. So the problem is the katana. This is the only thing I can't even imagine. I have a feeling that even ten gold coins would be cheap, and I have a feeling that no one would buy them for ten gold coins.

''That's right. ....... But, well, there's no need to force the sale, just set a high price with the mention of being for the nobility. It's a lot of work, and there's no doubt that this is the only store that sells them in this world.

Strictly speaking, as a legacy of the Age of Spiritual Civilization ...... i.e. the age of gaming, it's possible that katanas are real, because in RPGs, it's the Japanese sword that always appears.

But there's no point in worrying about that. They may look similar, but they're not a thousand-year-old legacy, they're brand new, struck by a modern blacksmith.

It's not like the cloth I bring and sell from Japan.

'Yes, ....... It's a little more expensive, but I'm guessing it's about 10 gold coins for a short sword and 30 gold coins for a battled sword?

"Or ...... pretty aggressive, boss.

Japanese swords cost that much, in fact.

Ten gold coins are about 1.5 million yen. Thirty gold coins are about 4.5 million yen.

For example, if you sell a modern sword to a swordsmith, it will cost about 1.5 to 3 million yen for a hachi sword.

Even if it's an old and famous sword, you can buy a reasonably good one for 4.5 million yen.

At a higher price, the historical value of the sword as an art object is added to the price, and the sword becomes an important cultural property or a national treasure.

That's why the upper limit as a realistic line is about 5 million yen per swing.

High is high, but this is an aggressive amount of money.

As for me, I just need a curious aristocrat to buy it for me.

So, boss. That's almost all the preparations for the opening. Will our customers come to ......?

'It's going to be mainly chill customers at first. But that's okay. But that's okay, because our products are genuine and unique. I'm more afraid of getting too many customers.

So, when you get some traction, do you want a membership?

'I'm thinking about that too. We'll actually have to open the lid. ...... And if we don't get any rich customers at all, we won't be in business, and that's the price tag.

Yes. The new store has to open the lid.

In theory, it should be able to succeed, but unfortunately, I don't know any very wealthy aristocrats.

Barely, Mr. Milk Pearl is an aristocrat, but he's an innocent person, so he doesn't seem to have any connection to these high quality fabrics, so he's not very helpful.

Anyway, the store is scheduled to open the day after tomorrow.

It won't be a big business right away, but it would be nice if we could make enough money to support the knights.

I'll continue with the stall as well, so I'll be interviewing new members of the knight corps and hoping to accommodate more staff.

It's still going to be busy.
