Chapter 49: Prime Locations are Cramped
The three-day festival was over, and I was in my hotel room calculating the sales.
[Hehh, a sale of nearly 170,000 rims in just three and a half days. The effect of festivals in sales really is great.]
In addition to the Mobile Force, toys such as the Super Ball and high-cost beverages sold well.
[Good for you, Yuusuke.]
Michelle took off her mask and smiled.
She changed her clothes in her loose-fitting loungewear and made herself at home.
[With this, you can now buy those boots you’ve been wanting to get.]
The sneakers I’ve been wearing from my previous life are becoming battered from my daily trips to the dungeon.
The soles are about to wear out.
[How about I buy you a present, Michelle?]
[For me!? It’s true that it’s almost our 30-day anniversary since we started dating but......]
Sorry, I don’t remember how many days it has been since we started dating.
[You remember even such small details?]
[I have this after all.]
Saying this, Michelle took out her waterproof notebook with a dark crest.
It seems to be her tenth Cursed...... rather, her tenth Poem Notebook.
Speaking of notebooks, the contents of the gachapon will soon run out of stock.
I wonder what items it will contain next......
[That’s right, let’s leave a note of that exchange just now. “What would you like as a present for our monthsary?”, Yuusuke asked.]
With a hum, Michelle wrote with her small pencil.
[You don’t really have to document our life in that much detail, right?]
Moreover, she’s kinda distorting what actually happened just now.
[It’s not about making money. I believe that the reason I can be a Dagashi Shopowner is that there are people who want me to be one......]
If I’m surrounded by Chanel and Gucci, I could only shrink back, couldn’t I?
You asking me to open up my store next to a famous chain grocery?
I don’t like that.
I thought the Baron might be offended by my refusal, but he only gave a small laugh.
[As I thought, Yahagi-dono really isn’t one to care about riches and prestige.]
[Eh?]
[Well, don’t sweat the small stuff. Forget what I just said. It’s just, I have a favor to ask of you.]
[What is it?]
[I would like the Mobile Force to be sold above ground. I want Mobile Force to be popular in the Capital.]
That’s nice and all, but I basically operate my store in the dungeon......
Baron Essel, perhaps reading my thoughts, makes a suggestion.
[In that case, I would like to ask you to accept consignment sales. Of course, I won’t take any commission for it, nor do I have any intention of making money from resale.]
Since the Baron is a wealthy man, I certainly am not worried about him becoming a greedy reseller.
He just wants to promote MF.
[I understand. In that case, I will give the Baron 30 boxes per day.]
[I see, that’s very helpful! With this, we can hold another Mobile Force tournament in the near future.]
[A MF tournament?]
[That’s right. I would like to organize a grand one myself, but would that be a problem? Well, I’d like to host one so grand that His Majesty the King would hopefully preside over it.]
[His Majesty!?]
[Yes. As a matter of fact, I’m presenting this tournament to His Majesty, who’s into Mobile Force.]
Before I knew it, things had turned into quite a big deal.
However, I don’t really care who organizes the tournament.
As long as everyone has fun, that’s all that matters. That was my stance.
