"Young Master, how do you find the machine?"
"You shouldn't be asking me, Mesen-san. You should ask the girls for your opinion. They are the one who operated this machine and 20 minutes to wash these whole bundles of clothes is such a wonder, right?"
"Senpai, this machine is wonderful!"
"We no longer need to scrub our clothes and it's tiring and time-consuming."
"This machine looks fun! It's smooth and easy to use!"

"it's so fast and efficient!"
"Our clothes came out very fresh and clean!"
"This machine makes me want to do laundry every day!"
"Listen to the girls' comment. These are the selling points and even Master here is writing the comments down because these are the selling points. They love the machine and this prototype is the working model."
"You had explained to us the cost of this machine, later I will discuss with you the salary, for you and your nephew. Also, each machine that someone ordered from your showroom also carries a commission. Every machine that you built also carries a commission."
"But you need to be frank with me, please think of how much you would be getting for a fixed monthly salary for you and your nephew since you would be contracted under a lifetime contract. This would be based on a median that you were getting now as a machinist in your machinery shop. Right now, I have a figure in mind I won't be able to k ow if it matches with yours or not."
"Young Master I would not know how I would be explaining this to you, but I am not too sure how much I would be asking for you. As you know, the work in the machinery shops have been dwindling and I was thinking of selling that place so I could move to another cluster in the outer district, just to save up for myself."
"I am an unmarried man and I don't see how I would be able to maintain this trade any longer. If you hadn't dropped by my shop the other day, I would have closed it for sure. Since this is a lifetime contract, would I be asking too much for a 5 gold coins for myself and a 3 gold coins for my nephew?"
"Alright, and in that case, I would like to add that since the machine costs 1 gold, 2 silvers and 4 coppers to be produced, that amount would also be your commission."
"The number of machines you might be able to produce in a month from the 1st day of the month right till the 30th of the end of the month would determine how much you would be able to earn extra at a cap of 1 gold 5 silvers per STM."
"If you and your nephew are to produce 10 STM per month then your commission would be 15 extra gold coins on top of your salary. How much you wanted to give to your nephew is between both of you to discuss."
"I do not have a formal contract with me yet, but I will draft a contract here in my sketchpad and both of you will acknowledge and we both would undersign the contract."
So I wrote the figures of 5 gold for machinist and 3 gold for the assistant. Then I wrote a timeline, 1st to 30th and underneath it, I wrote 1 gold 5 silvers per machine COMM and 1 gold 2 silvers 4 coppers for COST. Simple to understand and then Hiko-sama and I signed the contract and made the machinist and nephew sign his.
I told him, "Welcome to the family of Fasuto Japan KabushikiGaisha." I explained that the 4 managers were out to delivery in Yonezawa and would be back later in the day, "Please come for supper tonight here, and at least you knew who your managers would be since they would be working closely for you."
"Another footnote, you can look for more assistance to help you to produce the STM at a higher turnover production rate and the salary would be borne by us."
"We expect you to look for another 2 more assistants or workers whom you could trust so you would be able to progress furthermore. Adding more manpower would thus turn on more finished products as we need it to supply to all 4 showrooms and to stock another 4 more as soon as possible."
"Yes, Young Master, we will look for more workers to work in the machine shop and how much would you be looking at to pay their wages? At least I could tell them that they would be working directly with you."
"I am looking to pay your two assistants a fixed salary of 2 gold coins. Nothing more, nothing less. Let me know by Supper whom you had found for the two general workers."
"Yes, Young Master. We would like to take our leave right now and return by supper."
"Wait, before you leave. Here's for the both of your efforts in this prototype. Remember supper time, and don't let the corporation down."
I pressed 4 gold coins each for both men that had successfully completed the prototype, as we both are delighted at the end results. The exposure had been made known to the public and its time to MASS RELEASE the chapters... Oops, that we had already done that so... But to Mass release the STM, invade and take over the households..... Muuuaaahhaaahhhaaa *evil laugh*
"This is not your salary. It is part to pay for the cost of the machine and pay for your labour."
"Thank you, Young Master. We will look for skilled General workers and meet you during supper time tonight. We would be taking our leave now."
"Before you go, could you look for an artist for us? We need the person here and tell the person to bring his materials as well."
"Yes, Young Master. We will and get the person to report here as soon as possible."
Within 30 minutes after they had left, a lady walked to the yard and was looking for us to draw something. I looked at her and found that she was in the early 20s and found that Hiko-sama was chatting with her.
I then realised they were from the same school and were both interested in the arts. When she asked what is it to draw, she looked at the contraption and thought it was for churning butter we both laughed because it occurred to us that it was indeed looked like a butter churner.
I told her the specifications of a billboard that would be 1.2 meters high and wide as 6) centimetres. As I told her the dimensions she worked on the rough sketch and I told her I needed them in vibrant colours.
I told her it is called Seijuro Tumbler Machine. Just underneath it would be manufactured and distributed solely by Fasuto Japan KabushikiGaisha of Kakikata, Fukushima Prefecture.
A few blown up bubbles would be made. It should be "Fun to Use", "Fast and Efficient", "Fresh and Clean",
Cash Terms and Credit Terms of 6, 12 and 24 and 36 months available.
She spent some time on her large sketchpad about 4 times bigger than mine, and in one hour she had made a beautiful sketch of the STM after adding some fine touches to it.
Although it was done in black and white, the colour would be added to make it attractive. A visual artist is like this and thankfully the product is in front of them and they are able to draw on the spot.
I told her we need 5 of these billboards and she can work at her own pace to finish it she told us that she should need about 5 days for the billboards as it was almost life-size.
I told her that it was no problem and she said since Hiko-sama and her were friends from the same school before she is going to give us a discount and she only charges 6 silvers each for the billboard and that amounts to 3 good coins.
We trusted her and gave her the 3 good coins and was astonished they we could pay upfront fully.
Now it's the time for us to write the proposal to the treasury. It would be a parchment for all the head of treasuries in Kitakata, Aizuwakamatsu, Yonezawa and Shibata.
We have to explain the ambassadors of exactly what that needs to transpire so that the bank would agree and pay us for every machine that the clients purchase under the instalment scheme.
I sat down with Hiko-sama and draft the interests scheme for the following:
Description of item.
Patent and trademark number.
Issued in Kitakata on the date (....)
Uses of the item.and its Benefits
Proposal for the handling of monies through the treasury, so that every household would be able to afford one.
Cash 0% @ 10 gold coins
6 months 3% interest
12 months 5% interest
24 months 7% interest
36 months 10% interest
Penalty add 5% on top of payable amount.
Treasury will make a full settlement with us at 10 gold coins per purchase. Treasury handles all loan processes and clients need to pay directly to the treasury a month after releasing the cash amount to Fasuto Japan KabushikiGaisha.
Any addendum would be noted under this line.
Below there's a line for the ambassador to sign. And we had our names and designation at the bottom left and right of the proposal.
We looked it over and decided to visit the small shop at Recto Avenue in the trading district to get our proposal done in the best manner as possible
As usual, we need 8 copies and after an hour of proofreading and writing the proposal out, a thin red ribbon was affixed at the end of the parchment so we could tie them up like a scroll.
"You want to get an international driving permit to drive your horse-drawn carriage or wagon, sir? Very cheap, very good."
In your dreams, Recto Driving Institution! Hahahahaha
We reached back home and got the guards to help us make a sturdy workbench for the STM to sit on in the middle middle of the courtyard where it's visible for everyone or passerby to see when the girls work on it.
News spread like wildfire and soon throngs of people came to look and inquire about the STM and wanted to see its demonstration. I told them the demonstration would be performed tomorrow in the morning at 8 am.
Because our dirty laundry had started to grow toadstools and mushrooms. Hahahaha.
We had lunch prepared by the girls and after lunch, we went to the warehouse to see how the progress for the storage of all the [Refined Iron] plates as well as the wrapping and sealing of all the Karada Soap.
I was satisfied then the plates had been mostly cleared and I told the storekeeper to get the money from me in case they need any more gold coins to make the crates. The Karada soaps were halfway done per scents and I had foreseen that these products would be snapped up very fast indeed.
All the Essences that had been prepared for quite some time in the Realm of Mind had been brought up and stored in the multi-tiered shelves. There were about 3 or more clear jars per Essense and it was separated by a piece of plywood and all the jars had been clearly marked.
Now the Realm of Mind is more organised. Tonight after dark, we would be bringing all the fruits back to the Realm of Mind. I planned to blend them, sift and sieve them through the covered distiller for about 9 hours on low heat.
Once the Karada Soap had been completed, we can start on the hae shanpu and do it in the real world and the girls can take on 6 scents at a time with the complete start to finish production set up.
We have to guide the girls properly especially when heating the whole ingredients and making the hae shanpu to have the exact concentration before it it is being stored in the clay bottle.
Now the labelling is more unique just like a wine jar. So we decided to engage a company to produce us a label, red in colour with the words hae shanpu in calligraphy and the type of scent. And to make 500 for each scent.
I asked Hiko-sama if there's such a place and he said there is and he would be glad to bring me there. So off we went to the trading district and he brought me to the place that made the labels for sake jars. And that's just what we need.
After getting the designs that we wanted, we ordered 600 labels for each scent and told the person to make it ready and send it to Fasuto Japan KabushikiGaisha once it is done. Since they have quite a number of apprentices, the job would be ready within 1 week.
I paid half of the deposit and the rest would be paid once the product arrives. I gave a tone line of 5 days for it to be completed and sent to our place.
We went back and just before afternoon break, the ambassadors arriving from Yonezawa had arrived. They had completed the transactions, paid the down-payment for the locale, deposited the money with the treasurer and had gotten the slip for the deposit.
Its had been a few times to the trading district today and decided to deposit the slip tomorrow instead. There's no hurry because we do not need the money anyway to buy anything.
We let the men rest and meet up for supper because we need to introduce the one who manufactured the STM prototype and we showed it to the guys since we had moved it further down and away from the garden.
The men looked at it in awe that it was completed before the time and they dry operated it and find it smooth with no sounds of any machinery parts clanking or jittery in any parts at all.
I told them of A billboard that would be used to display at the showroom front at the meantime before the machine arrives and the proposal that we need to present to the Treasury along with the billboard.
They liked the idea since there was something they can show and tell when they meet the head of treasury.
Right after the managers had left, we went to our house and went into the Realm of Mind right after entering the meditative state. We took one of the blenders and looked at it and detaches the blending jug and its machine.
Hiko-sama looked at it and drew a diagram in designing the blade and the bowl that contains the blade and he reversed the whole mechanism of the blender. I was clearing up all the mixers and made them go back to where it was once visualised. Same goes to the Essense distillers and I only leave 10 clean ones after visualising them off.
The evaporation trays were returned after visualisation and were replaced with the ones made from wood. This way there would be no harm once we return to the real world with this.
I visualised 500 such evaporation trays that would be used for the Kurin and Feroa Kurina and I standby 800 sets of 12x3x3 inch mould for the next batch of Karada Soap and set it aside, all stacked nicely in their 50s.
I looked at Hiko-sama and was told to give him a few more minutes as he made a model slightly larger than the sumeet brand and asked me if this could be made in the real world.
Currently, there wasn't a plastic that had been made, even though the process was somewhat similar to pottery and the final mineral that was used, is to turn the pottery into plastic but the process would take quite time-consuming.
By tonight the girls would have completed the whole process of packing the 29 scents of Karada Soap while the men were working round the clock making the crates and storing the pieces.
Tomorrow would be the last few hundreds they going to pack and tonight the 3rd shift guards would continue to make as many crates as they can for both the Refined Iron plates and Karada Soap.
After having dinner I checked the warehouse with Izumi and Hanna. Everything had been cleared for the Karada Soap and all the 29 scents had been placed on 15 pallets as one batch only occupies 6 crates and they were now being shared on a pallet.
Everything Karada soap had been clearly marked and tomorrow the last batch of 2,000 of Refined Iron plates would be packed and then count to be made an entry in the books. We closed the warehouse doors and tomorrow we need to have 29 pieces of Karada Soap to be patented before delivery to the cosmetic shops.
Tomorrow too would be the final packing to make up a total of 295 crates of Refined Iron and would be distributed among the 6 wagons in order to minimise the weight of not exceeding 500 kilograms per wagon.
A massive total of 14750 pieces of Refined Iron would be shipped to Shibata and this has been so far the largest orders for the week.
With the sale of 14750 pieces of Refined Iron, the sales would hit a total of 73750 pieces of gold.
We were sitting in the garden when the 4 ambassadors came, saluted and sat down and I told them about tomorrow's plans. 6 wagons, 4 horseback, front and rear guard. The Wagons riding in the centre. 14750 pieces. 295 crates. Each horse about 50 crates. Pay down-payment, get lease contract. Deposit money in the treasury. Get the slip and come back. Both slips would be deposit at the same time when it was returned to us tomorrow.
After we had explained the situation and plan for tomorrow, the machinist, the nephew and 2 youngsters came. They introduced themselves and made known that the ambassadors that they would be working closely with on the future.
The two youngsters happened to come from the outer cluster and recognises the 2nd shift guards as their neighbours. They were happy when they realised that were employed with Fasuto Japan KabushikiGaisha. Later after work, the guards told the two youngsters to work properly and will be well rewarded.
After getting acquainted the machinist and the 3 other men would be manufacturing the STM and delivering them to the warehouse here before being distributed to the other three towns while the one in Kitakata would be handled by Hiko-sama and myself.
After we had exchanged the pleasantries and the pastries and the toiletries, the machinist, and the 3 men headed back to their shop. The ambassadors stayed a little while longer and then headed back home and will be here by 8 am to move out by 9.
Once everyone had gone, Hiko-sama and I went to the Ops Room and brought all the 10 fruit baskets in and entered the Realm of Mind and settled the remaining 2,000 pieces of Refined Iron back to the real world.
We went back into our meditative state and entered the Realm of Mind and then settled the fruits one by one. After we had blended the fruits, skin and all, we sift and sieve the contents on the cloth over the distillers that had been half-filled with water and the bunsen burner heat set to medium.
Hiko-sama settled one fruit while I settled one as we blended them and poured the contents on the first layer of cloth and watched the blended liquid drop into the distiller bowl. After we had completed a single fruit, we turned up the heat in the bunsen burner to medium and timed it to 9 hours.
Once completing the 10 blended fruits, we checked the water contents, the tautness of the cloth and the airtightness of top upper glass of the distiller, and all the timers and found that everything is settled before we logged off from our meditative state and went back to our real world.
