109 - - The Opening of the Store

Peter: Good morning.

Homura: Good morning. Good morning from the night shift.

Peter: I'm still sleepy.

On night shift days, Peter goes home early in the morning, sleeps, and logs in after noon. This time he is a little earlier, so he must be enjoying this game he just started. So am I.

Homura: The store is open!

Peter: Oh!　Congratulations!

Homura: Thank you. There's a promising loli here.

Peter: I'm not a Lolita! I thought you were busy.

Homura: I haven't advertised anywhere, and I'm not busy.

Peter: You're at the store?

Homura: They're producing at the liquor store.

Peter: I suggest you check out the store. w

I don't know what's going on here.

A while ago, I was sitting around with few customers, decorating classical lamps on the display shelves that can be seen from the window, and raising the production level of the shop.

I went to the liquor store to produce alcohol, and when I came back, I found myself in a war zone.

"Master, I finished <> and <><>. > is also finished. <<<> have been sold, as well as some snacks. Mr. Reno is outside organizing the line.

Noel reports back.

"Master, we may not have enough merchandise for all the customers in line."

Lapidus is still looking absentminded, but his hands are busy shuffling through the merchandise at an incredible pace.

"Okay, we'll close after tomorrow if we run out, but he'd like to make some today at least. It's a lot of work, but can you do it?"

I don't know why this is happening.

Yes."

They answer with a smile.

"Are you the one making this item?　You'll have to separate yourself from our clan."

"Yes, please leave when you're done shopping."

Cal leads a customer who has been talking to him over the counter out the door with a fluid motion.

It was not the time to be impressed with his skill of not allowing any resistance even though he didn't seem to be putting any effort into it, he seems to know the structure and weakness of the human body .......

Sorry Peter, production canned! I went up to the third floor and smelted gold.

Fortunately, thanks to Galahad and the others, I have enough light and dark stones in my inventory. We only have about 400 of each. What about the medicine?

<>selling so well?

<?　Hemostatic weed.

Buy materials on consignment.

is a ready-made recovery medicine. Or, you can buy a ready-made recovery potion and make it.

If I concentrate on making one type of medicine, the others may sell out in the meantime, so I have to make a certain amount of each before I can start mass-producing them.

I run downstairs to the second floor to make confectioneries this time. Is the effect of the receptionist still continuing for the snacks?　Synergistically, the meals are starting to sell well.

I had a snack of apple pie, pancakes with vanilla ice cream. Chocolate cookies, nut cookies, bite-sized pies. The thought stops as the things that immediately come to mind are either popular or recently made. No, I'm quite upset.

I don't know whether I want something I can give or something I can eat during the battle. --White will be angry if I run out of berries.

From outside, you hear a voice explaining about the limit on the number of items that can be sold and the closing time of Reno.

It's a good thing we put a limit on the number of items sold following the consignment sale.

During the process, I had to switch to buying from the commercial guilds' material sales when there were no more cheap items on consignment. It is much easier to buy materials from the commercial guilds just because I don't have to compare the prices and search for the cheapest ones anymore. I wish I had done this from the beginning.

can be made more effective than the +3 ones by increasing the number of materials available in the refining camp, but it seems better to secure the number of materials here, so we are refining the +3 ones as hard as we can. It is better to keep the number of materials for this purpose, so we are going to sell out after we finish the current amount.

The following skills have been added to the list: [Mass Production], [Constant Quality], and <><>.

The first two are S!? (skill points), and the other two were acquired automatically. was a little too much, but I learned [Mass Production], and now I can make twice as much food at one time as the capacity of the equipment. The amount of materials consumed at one time is double the capacity of the facility, though.

I had to use a skill to get M! I had to do it while drinking potions, but it became much easier. I can make enough M! is not enough for production and recovery of Bahamut.

Of course, I had to drink E! I am eating a lot of food while doing it. The small sandwich I served to Luba is easy to eat.

What's that?

Isn't this a bad night when a lot of people log in after work?　In our case, it's three afternoons later. You can buy the ingredients for medicine and cooking from the store, but the ingredients for <><> are now available at ...... with six refineries!

So far, I've been using light and dark stones to make non-attribute stones, but if I'm right, I should be able to do it with stones of the following attributes: wood, fire, earth, gold, water, and wind. ...... was able to do it. Safe!

Thank goodness we have enough for the night. I have enough for the night. I have some I've been saving up and some I got from Galahad and the others. But just to be safe, I'll buy cheap gemstones on consignment.

<10 is 50,000 yen, taking the temple into account, not many people buy it up to the maximum number, but it is selling well together with similarly priced << return stone>>.

< can be used both on the field and in the dungeon as long as the hostility is gone, so it is probably very useful. The higher the level, the better it is to buy it than to suffer item loss + despena.

The price of 50,000 is reasonable since the price of light and dark stones is quite high even at consignment shops due to the fact that the materials for them are hard to find.

But that's before you go to the fantasy route, where both light and dark stones drop a lot!

In addition, now that you can make them with stones of each attribute, the cost has dropped dramatically!

But you can't suddenly drop the price today or tomorrow!

Give it up!

Thanks for your hard work """"" """""

Five voices overlap.

Today's sales are frightening.

>They sold 10 rated at 50,000, so you can imagine how much they sold. The cost is zero this time, since it is made from found materials. The medicine type has a much larger quantity, but they are selling at a lower profit margin, or at a higher price, since I felt I couldn't offer a 10-rated stone at a lower price than a 7 or 8-rated stone on consignment.

You'll be buying your own transition plate to the home in no time!

I'm scared of .......

No, even though it's a gilmouth, Mos Burger popped it up, and if you own a store and do business, 50 million shillings is not so hard to get.

After about three hours of raging, we are having an early dinner.

Pearl scallops au gratin.

Grilled vegetables called Ratatouille.

Bread tapas and a main course of duck in orange sauce.

Chilled wine, orange juice and ginger ale.

The bread tapas were shredded potatoes baked with cheese and a half-cooked partridge-size egg. Two simple dishes of finely diced tomatoes with parsley and olive oil.

It is difficult to know how much the four of us will eat. I have prepared small gratin dishes for the two children, but I am not sure.

Hot food is hot, cold food is cold.

"This is delicious again, isn't it?

"Good. The white sauce and the cheese. I'm used to potatoes and bacon au gratin, but this is delicious."

Two little adults!　You made the gratin for the kids and they loved it!　You guys liked the hamburger for lunch, didn't you?　Is it a child's tongue, or a child's tongue?

"Ah..."

"You should eat slowly so you don't burn yourself."

At Leno's words, Lapidus slows down a little and brings the spoon to his mouth, huffing and puffing. Leno, who had called out to Lapidus, was even more careful than Lapidus. ...... cat tongue!

I'll have to buy spoons and forks for kids. The spoon is large compared to the mouth, and the load is relatively large, so it sticks around the mouth a lot, though it doesn't spill. Noel's spoon is not sticking, so is it an individual difference?

I wipe the edges of my mouth with a towel and apply some healing to my burns.

Cal seems to have bought some height-adjustable cushions for their chairs. How thoughtful of him, I'll learn from him.

We finish our dinner slowly, talking about this and that.

"Master, you're not home tomorrow, are you?

"Yeah, sorry about that."

No, that's what we're here for. But if you can't make more, can I let the customer know the number of items sold from the beginning?　It's also wicked ...... pitiful to stand in line without the product you want."

I think I was going to say "disturbing". You were smiling.

"Well, it's probably better that way, since you'll be bothering the people next to you. You can close the store when it's sold out."

We put in Noel's suggestion and decided to cut the line early tomorrow if it looks like we will exceed the number sold.

"Quite a few people asked me for the name of the owner and the producer, but I wonder if it's really okay for Lengard to answer?"

Leno confirms it.

"Good. That one was originally an alias to give it away. I'm not going to use my real name, Homura, in the store at all. I sell directly to my friends, so they won't come to the store."

"Many have told me they are friends with the Lord. Many have told me they were friends with the Lord, even though they were blatantly false. ......"

"If they were friends, they would have contacted you, so you can go ahead and bust them. They're just customers coming into your store, you're not going to make any money off of them, and you can't have a 'customer is God' type of thing."

"Oh, yeah, I got the keys. Noel."

When I call his name and offer him the key, he wraps it carefully in his hands and smiles shyly and happily.

"And this."

A thin chain made of mithril with a key ring that looks like a ring, of course, with a <<< underworld stone>>.

"And for Lapis."

I give him a key ring with the same chain. I tried to make them different colors, but they are exactly the same. I could have changed it a little if I had been able to add a side stone to the key ring when the level of decoration had been raised.

"For both of you."

Cal and Reno also received matching necklace-type key rings with their keys.

"I made them to look like ornaments even if they don't have keys on them, so I hope you'll wear them as much as possible. It's also a good luck charm."

"Did the Lord make this?"

"Yeah."

I answer Cal's question.

"You really have your hands in a lot of things, don't you?"

"[Jewelry] is still a work in progress, though."

Lapidus and Noel are happy to look at their less than sophisticated key rings.

I heard that they are gradually eroded and replaced in the temple, and that they can make decisions of their own will for a while after being possessed. High Priest Kyle told me that it would be easier to exorcise them if they enter the temple's ward while they still have their "self" and that it would be better to keep the <> on them, of course, but it would be okay if they put it on later.

"And a carriage ticket for the two of you."

You pay one month in advance, like a commuter pass.

"We started out with an appointment to go to the temple, but Cal's business for the day ends when he gets you both in the wagon."

"Yes, before it gets too late."

I felt so guilty when I saw their ears fall flat. That's why I hated it!

"Lapidus, Noel. You're kids, you're not just working, you're learning and playing with people your own age to broaden your horizons and find what's important to you. If you've already found what's important to you, you need to be strong enough to protect it. First, you need to learn to stand on your own."

Cal has a help boat!

"Yes. I've been on and off, and I'm not a fan of adult-only environments. I'm glad you want to experience more things and make more choices while you're young, but if you still want to stay here, I'm happy for you.

He pats them both and tells them.

As someone who is currently playing with them, this is a heartbreaking line.

The store closes until the sky turns orange.

Like the residents' workshop, I set my business hours until nightfall. The store closes when the sun begins to set, and we clean up before the sun goes down. Some of the children who commute from the orphanage to the workshop have dinner at the workshop before returning home, so the hours are set accordingly.

Cal puts his hand on their backs and leads them away.

Ugh, this is how I used to feel when I left my puppy in his bed on the first day I got him.

I love dogs and cats, but I'm sure I'd be a bad owner, so I'd never get one if I lived alone. That's why I had no intention to do so in this world.

"That's nice... On the other hand, Partin-sama is ........."

"Hmm?"

"You threw me out so easily!"

"What?"

Crying up a storm!

I noticed that Leno is taking off his clothes with tears streaming down his face.

"What?　Wait a minute, why are you taking it off?

"Huh?　Wait, wait, wait!　Don't try to cover yourself with water in the kitchen!!!!"

Weak!　I'm weak...to booze!　You're already over the right amount!

I remember when Leno was sent on a social studies field trip by Paltin for the same reason. How old are you?　I thought you said you were over 400 years old!

I managed to coax him into the bath upstairs.

After taking a dip in the water, Reno was in a good mood.

I'm still in need of some kind of body technique, or some kind of specific skill to subdue the humanoid, and I'm hoping Cal can give me some tips.

Cal comes back and asks me what happened, and I advise him not to let Reno drink alcohol.

Yeah, you're wondering what's going on. In a short time the floor is flooded and clothes are everywhere.

At least the indescribable feeling of leaving Lapis and Noel is gone, and I can thank Cal and Reno for that.

But I think independence should have come earlier.
