I love other worlds! It's fine, but of course, it doesn't mean that you can move to another world completely.
It goes without saying, but as long as you're making money selling Japanese goods in another world, it's useless if you can't move in Japan, and if you want to buy goods in Japan, you need Japanese yen, not gold or silver coins.
Besides, since his registered domicile is in Japan, he has to pay the obligatory national pension, municipal tax and health insurance premiums. If you have a certain amount of income from NetOkku, you have to go and file an income tax return.
It's easy to forget that the other world is a dreamy place, but it's not always easy in reality.
So today, Etois and others were in charge of Elishe's shop, while I went to the tax office to file my tax return.
The amount of tax is not much. The only money I've made is from online auctions, and the only time I've made a lot of money from selling otherworldly items is in the last few months, so my profit is a little over a million yen.
The actual profit was really not that big of an amount, which was a big relief, since we had to cover all kinds of expenses, including receipts for cloths we sell at the store, cell phone bills, gasoline, and so on.
There was no paperwork, and I cleared my taxes with no problem. It's quite a hassle to prepare the documents for the auction, so I hope there is a better way to do it.
After paying the tax, I went out of the tax office.
It's February, and it's very cold in the afternoon. The calendar says it's spring, but February must be the coldest month for me.
I wore a leather coat I bought at Elishe, and a pair of leather pants I bought at Elishe, and I felt like an outlaw.
When I say leather, I don't mean cowhide, pigskin, sheepskin or horsehide. It is the leather of a hexenbiest called le calf.
I was complimented by an old man who stood next to me in the waiting room and said, "It's so cool!" and I thought it would be a good idea to sell them on NetOkku if there was a demand for them, but then I reconsidered because they are not a material found on earth.
It's a shame, but I guess I'll just have to enjoy it on my own. There are quite a few materials that are unique to other worlds, but you can find them at .......
The "monster" is a generic term for the "highly aggressive wild animals" in that world. Ordinary animals - those that do not have aggression towards humans are differentiated from demonic beasts and are simply called beasts or just animals.
In Japan, a rabbit is a beast and a bear is a hexenbiest, or a pig is a beast and a wild boar is a monster. Or a pig is a beast and a wild boar is a Hexenbiest. Anyway, that's how they are classified.
This seems to have something to do with the management of the most major organization in the world, the 'Hunters Guild' (this is the one that Shero-san belongs to). I think the guild members call the animals they hunt monsters or something like that. It doesn't matter, so I won't go into details.
Come to think of it, the first time I met Shero-san, it was after hunting a big boar, and that's exactly what it was, a Hexenbiest. I heard that Marina was made to fight the same guy in training, but I hadn't fought him yet.
I've graduated from being a monster virgin, but I'm still a virgin and a monster virgin. Leave me alone.
I had lunch at a ramen shop and bought a rental magazine at a convenience store.
My life in Elisheh has become more stable, and my business has become more stable. Living at home is nice, but it's time for me to start my own business. Most of the time, I'm almost always in another world and it's rare that I even eat at my parents' house. I'm still going back to my room to sleep, though.
If I want to be independent, I'm going to rent an apartment, but if I can come to an agreement with the amount of money, it might be good to rent an office or something. If a mirror can be placed and the goods can be placed, it is enough. It's better if the post office is close to the NetOkku because it will continue to be.
And then there's the ...... car. I'm currently using my parents' light car, but if I were to move, I'd have to buy my own car. When I think about the possibility of doing a big deal, I'd probably be better off buying a van, but the maintenance costs would be hard to bear.
While complaining about that, I went to a home center, a second-hand clothing store, a 100-yen shop, and a handicraft store to stock up on various things.
Mostly household items for the house, but I also bought some things to sell at the store and some things to sell at the flea market on a trial basis. There's still a lot of unknowns about what will be received over there. You can never have too much merchandise.
Just as I arrived home, the 5:00 chime rang. I took my bags into my room and went out to the living room. His mother was just making dinner.
I didn't tell my parents about the other world, of course.
I just said that I found a huge profit-making opportunity, so I'm going to be away for a while or something. I didn't tell a lie, but .......
I'm not lying. I want to talk to you about something, so have your dinner at home tonight.
I was going to leave before they found me, but it was too late.
◇◆◆◆◆◆.
The supper was stir-fried vegetables.
Fried vegetables on rice and cold tofu. Clams in miso soup and pickles. It's an orthodox dinner in our house.
We said "Itadakimasu" and we started to eat together.
The father is away on a business assignment, and he only comes home around the New Year's end and New Year's holidays or New Year's Day (come to think of it, he came back this New Year's Day too. (Come to think of it, he was also back this New Year's Day, though he was so engrossed in another world that he only spoke to me in moderation). My brother and sister have also moved out of their respective homes, so it's just me and my mother in this house.
I hadn't been eating at home at all lately, and I hadn't even talked to my mother, so I was a bit cold-hearted, or maybe I was just too absorbed in another world.
Well, my mother works as a nurse, so she doesn't always make dinner, and in fact, she often doesn't.
What are you really doing these days? I'm not in my room when I think I'm in it, or when I think I'm not, and I hardly ever eat dinner at home.
We were silent at the table for a while, and then, perhaps out of sheer numbness, my mother interrupted me just as I was dripping soy sauce on the cold tofu.
But I can read the pattern. In the end, it will always be, "Go to Hello Work tomorrow. I've been a NEET for two years.
I told you I was busy because I had a big job to make. I'm eating out. And you have money in the house, so what's the problem?
Are you doing something weird and dangerous? There's also a lot of weird stuff in the room: ....... Dolls and stuff like that .......
I'm not doing it. I'm just making a little money from the Internet auction. Everything in the room is for sale. The doll.
I hadn't put any money in the house because of my neatness, but when I sold my gold cup the other day, I gave my parents $50,000.
But it's certainly suspicious to see such a feather in your cap all of a sudden. You can't help but wonder: ......
The antique doll (quite large) sitting in the room might have had a strong impact.
I don't know if it's a big profit-making opportunity or an auction or what, but there's no way you can make a living off of that stuff, is there?
I don't plan to make a living just from auctions, either. I'm going to register it as an auction store or start up an online shop sooner or later.
'You're dreaming again! Tomorrow you're going to have to go to the Hello Work office and find a real job! You may think you're forever young, but you're already 22 this month!
It's out! Go to Hello Work!
As long as the otherworldly trade is going well, I have no intention of getting a job at all. Of course. I'm making so much money that I need to file a tax return at the auction.
But you can't tell your parents about the other world, and you don't know when they'll find out about the mirror, either. After all, it looks like they're in your room, too.
As I thought, this looks like it's best to leave home as soon as possible. ......
I'll get a job when I turn 22 then! Thanks for the meal!
I said the appropriate thing and retreated.
The best way to dodge your mother is to put it off anyway.
...... But I'll be 22 this month already.
I went into my room and opened the rental magazine I had bought.
There are a number of things to rent out, but I'm concerned about the security and earthquake resistance of wooden apartments, so I went through them. Then, the apartment of reinforced concrete seems to be good after all, but the rent of the apartment is high. If it is a studio apartment, it can be rented for about 70,000 yen, but there is also a way to rent an office then.
If you want to take it even further, you can rent a store and sell goods from another world ......, but it's impossible under the current circumstances (although it sounds fun). We don't have enough people.
For now, I'll just make a list of places that seem to have good access to a 1k apartment. It is with the parking lot, and preferably the first floor or the second floor at most (because the high rise floors are often shaken unnecessarily in an earthquake. I don't think it's a problem to transport the mirror because you use an elevator). And then I went to the post office ...... and.
I started up my PC and opened the used car information site.
If the car is not chosen, there are many cheap ones. As long as you pack your stuff in, any car can hold a good amount of stuff, so let's not get hung up on the van.
Let's go to ...... and find a new, hodgepodge new, unpopular, cheap, and somewhat loaded one that gets good gas mileage.
.............
I've found something unusually cheap: .......
It's a Toyota 2000 2000cc wagon with a market price of about 300,000. The cheapest one is in the 200,000 class ...... that starts out. Actual fuel economy is also generally 10...... a liter.
Vista Aldeo or .......
Let's keep that in mind. There seems to be plenty of room for cargo space. It's not cool, though.
Hmmm. But it's expensive.
When we move out, we'll be charged about four months' rent and key money, right?
The move itself isn't much of a haul, and you can do it yourself, but you're pretty careful about transporting the mirror, right?
Even though the car is a cheaper model, it's still going to cost you 300,000 or 400,000 to get started.
All in all, I'm pretty sure it's going to be over $600,000.
However, it's like a necessary expense: ....... What to do .......
I don't have any savings right now, and I think I'm going to move ...... around the spring or so. I'll probably have a little more money saved up by then.
And then we'll live in a different world for free!
