107 Episode 99: Made to order with the skin of Wyburn

Mr. Lamberto is here to deliver the item he received in his store.

I'm just putting out crates and kettles in the reception room of the store for Mr. Lamberto to check.

As usual, Fell and Suey are together but not interested at all, Fell is sleeping behind my sitting chair in the reception room, and Suey is sleeping in her bag.

"Yes, that's for sure. It was quick and helpful. Especially since this soap was almost sold out."

That's what Mr. Lamberto said with his hands on one of the crates containing the cheaper soap.

"So it's the price, I've got over a hundred gold coins, so can I pay you in big gold coins?

"Yes, I'm fine"

Calculated yesterday. Surely the price should be 612 gold coins.

I often have some big money in my hands, and I'm getting fewer and fewer surprises today.

When I was in Japan, I struggled with tightness before payday, but I thought I was making so much money coming to different worlds...

No, I'm thankful you're not in trouble for the money.

"So this is 60 large gold coins and 12 gold coins for the price. Make sure."

As usual, ten sheets are stacked in one row.

One large gold coin for ten gold coins, so I'm pretty sure it's 60 large gold coins and 12 gold coins.

"Yes, definitely"

Mr. Lamberto said it was the practice among traders to use large gold coins in the case of transactions involving more than 100 gold coins.

That's a cool amount when it comes to over a hundred pieces of gold.

When you go shopping in other cities, you don't seem to be able to carry that much.

It may be a little inconvenient to use around the city, but big gold coins don't have to be heavier.

I already have enough gold coins.

Incidentally, white gold coins are gold coins mixed with misrills and gold, and they're traded between countries. Even businessmen don't spend more than a thousand gold coins.

"Oh yeah, I'd like to ask Mr. Lamberto, can you make me a cape here?

"Yeah, of course, we can make leather products to order, so it's okay. What kind of leather would you like?

"That's right..."

I told Mr. Lambert about Wyburn.

"Wah, is it Wyburn... I heard about Wyburn coming out, but I didn't know Mr. Mkoda was crusading..."

No, it's not me.

It was Fell and Suita who crusaded.

"So I'd like you to make a cape, a sheathed belt and shoes out of Wyburn's skin."

"I also wanted to try to handle Wyburn's skin someday. We can do this shop as a big job for a generation."

That is what Mr Lamberto said as he had decided to do.

A generation of big jobs, is that what Wyburn's skin is all about?

When the Alliance Master of Adventurers Guild made it into a cape - he talked about it, so there were some minutes he couldn't buy it, and it was a pretty light feeling to have it made for himself...

"However, when it comes to the skin of Wyburn, it takes time, okay?

"How much is it?

"Right, I thought it would take about six months..."

Not so much.

But what if I had to use a mythrill knife to dismantle Wyburn as well, because I'm going to cloak it and sheath it and shoe it?

It's going to take a while to get rid of the skin.

Well, let's not rush it. Let's have fun in six months.

"Then, the skin means to bring in, but there are only a few craftsmen who can process it, and it takes a lot of time to process it somehow, so it costs a lot..."

Well, it will.

When I asked, I can't tell you for sure yet because it involves working time, but it could cost more than 500 gold coins.

It's not the amount you can't pay if it's me right now, but don't be that much if it's made-to-order after all.

Can't you help it because it seems like handling the skin of Wyburn is quite difficult, and it seems like a laborious task?

Oh, yeah, can you make the rest of Wyburn's skin part of the price?

Making a cloak, belt and shoes for an order with one piece of skin would give you extra, so I'd appreciate it if you could use that skin to pay for it.

"Um, can I say I'll pay for that, in part, with the excess of Wyburn's skin?

"What, okay? It's a rarely available skin, so as far as we're concerned, I'd really appreciate it."

Even if I have it, I can't use it except to sell it anyway, and if I can pay with it, I don't have to take out that share of the money, so that's better for me.

"I'd appreciate it if you could do that..."

When I said that, Mr. Lamberto agreed.

"Well, I'm going to the Adventurer's Guild now, so I'll bring Wyburn's skin on the way home. Thank you very much."

"Yes, I'll be waiting for you"

We followed Mr. Lamberto's shop to the Adventurers Guild.
