Act 5: Chapter 7: Product Development

「Eh! Kanata-san is an otherworlder!」

Said Mel as she grabbed my shoulders.

「Y-Yeah, I am...」

「Do you have information about otherworld items!?」

And brought her face closer to just an inch away from mine.

She spoke roughly till a bit of her spits came out.

「More or less...」

「Can you save me for that fugly trash swindler called Wontz!? 」

「So you did realize that you got swindled by him! Finally admitting it huh!」

Maybe she averted her gaze from reality before Wontz extremely meticulous methods.

Maybe she is finally willing to accept the reality after seeing a glimmer of hope.

「THANK YOU! THANK YOU VERY MUCH KANATA-SAN! NO, KANATA-SAMA! AT THIS RATE, THEY MIGHT SELL ME OFF AS A DEBT SLAVE TO WORK TILL I CAN'T WORK ANYMORE THEN USE MY TEETH, HAIR, AND SKIN AS REPAYMENT BEFORE DISPOSING OF ME!」

「Don't call me by such an honorary name please!」

Pomera caught Mel's back and pulled off the latter from me.

「C-Calm down, Mel-san! You're troubling Kanata-san!」

「I-I mean, they really are going to kill me at this rate...」

Her face was smeared with tears and mucus.

「What do you think, Kanata? As a reminder, I can guarantee that Mel is a truly genius magic tool craftsman. All you need is to give her a bit of inspiration. You can leave her on her own after you teach her a bit of your knowledge.」

This person really loves to take care of the other.

The way she looked relieved upon hearing that Ramiel simply ditched her might be her true feeling, even if she knew that she had been deceived by the latter.

In a normal situation, other people in her shoes would curse Ramiel first.

「... U~hm, actually I have a few items that I want to sell but are too precious, you can put them on display.」

That might be able to attract customers.

And since I couldn't go too far, the highest-ranked item I could take out might be the item below A-rank.

「Most people might not care what an adventurer had. And this place is a magic tool store. The customer will be looking for a magic tool. Currently, another place has a much better product selection and cheaper price.」

「Well, that's make a sense...」

「Don't you know one or two good items from the other world? That's what I'm looking forward to but...」

「P-Please, I-I'm looking forward to hearing about the product too! I'll do anything for you if you save my life, be it becoming your slave or selling my organs!」

Mel begged me while seizing my clothes.

She was way too desperate.

「T-That's where the problem is... I have no idea how to manufacture it.」

「Aah, yes... Can't be helped then, okay...」

Mel dropped her shoulders in dejection.

Though I did learn about alchemy from Lunaire, I still had no idea about how to create plastic from petroleum.

Though Lunaire might be able to do that if I gave her a hint from my existing knowledge, I myself couldn't do that.

「I think I can handle some cheap, and easy-to-handle existing metal but...」

It would take an enormous amount of time to research the way to create such a metal with alchemy and mass produce it.

And since it wouldn't have that much impact either, the cost-to-performance ratio might not be that good.

「Please, Kanata-sensei! I promise to give you 90% of the net profit!」

Mel took my hands as she bowed to me.

「Stop with that "Sensei" already... And you'll be the one in trouble if you split your profit that way.」

I received the quill pen from Mel and wrote about the product in my mind on the paper.

Easy to use toys ranged from bicycles to trump, shampoo, spray, or canned products.

I tried to write something that might be of some use alas, it might be something that had already been found in this world or something that I couldn't reproduce.

「OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Sounds like there's a lot of things we can use!」

Though Mel looked really happy, I on the other hand couldn't find an idea that was fit for her.

And since the letter was blurry, I had to run ink on it again and again.

When I applied too much ink, the letter became a blot of ink.

「... It's hard to write with this. Do you have something easier to use?」

「Something easier? What are you talking about?」

After pondering for a while, I added a felt-tip pen, a sign pen, and a ballpoint.

This might be the best product.

Rather, I would push this since using a quill pen and ink was too troublesome.

Let's make it our hottest commodity.
