Arafoo Otoko no Isekai Tsuuhan Seikatsu

Episode 5 Alliance Registration and Markets

I went to the Commercial Guild to make the necessary registration to do business. If you don't earn quickly, your money will run out.

Azarea at the inn says that she can earn money from manual labor, but I've been working at the desk for many years, and I can't possibly do that kind of hard work.

At best, it's enough to plow a field in a vegetable garden.

I came to where I was taught. Right in front of you is a three-story building made of white stone. The stone is engraved with patterns, quite luxurious construction, and all the windows are filled with glass.

"This is it...."

Open a splendid door and step inside. It feels bright and wide inside because of the glass in the window.

There is a counter in front, and the receptionist is sitting, but there are counters everywhere, so it seems to be divided by department.

As she waited and waited, she also talked about business and loans. In the meantime, go to the front counter.

The receptionist is dressed in white and looks like a nurse, but is this the uniform here - she has a long square hat on her head, and it's like a nurse again, but it's driving me crazy.

Um...

"Yes, what can I do for you today?

"Sign up for an Alliance"

"I understand. The registration fee will be 1 silver coin. And please fill in this paper."

The documents were handwritten, but I don't think they have printing technology yet. Items include name, age, and other fields of origin, but this city, Daria, will do well.

I don't know any other place names. On the right, there's the problem of numbers -- maybe this is the test.

Three extra digits, two extra digits -- this is the test.

Still yesterday today, there are ambiguities about letters. I open the item box and cheat with an anchovies display, but it is not visible to others naturally.

I wrote everything down and sent it to the reception, and it was OK.

Sitting in a chair for a while... the receptionist brought a thin bar of metal with a hole in the top. This is what the young merchant was hanging from his neck.

This must be proof of the Alliance. When doing business, ordinary merchants seem to be hanging from their necks because they have to put this up where they can see it.

The registration has been completed successfully, and there is no problem in doing business with it. They say there's a tax in the neighboring empire that collects some of its sales every month, but it's not here.

― ― Next, market research.

I got the guild to tell me where the market is and went out. The Alliance says you can go to the market if you go out on the street and follow the flow of people.

We arrived at the right place. A crowded, crowded and bustling place - most of the shops lined up are open-air, and there are many things without roofs.

The items sold are not separated, and fresh groceries such as blades, stones, fruits and vegetables are sold side by side in the mixing area.

The merchants, too, have quite a mouthful of customers in the abattoir. They don't use honorific language unless they're high-ranking people.

I also found paper. One piece of brown paper and one piece of bronze coin. Well, selling paper might make a fortune. And then... dishes? You can see that white plain plates like those sold at Shangri-La are sold for more than one small square silver coin (5,000 yen).

The price jumps when the pattern goes in, but I don't have the impression that it's selling very well. Only people in the city come to this market, and they can't afford some of the expensive stuff.

Looking at several places, the blade is also quite high, and the bad knife is more than 1 silver coin (50,000 yen). Shangri-La costs about 5,000 to 6,000 yen, and they sell quite well.

That might sell for two silver coins (100,000).

But are stainless steel stainless steel that doesn't rust okay? The blade made of blue paper and carbon steel is very expensive.

Even if I sell it, they won't notice it all of a sudden, but if they do, they'll have to flee to another city.

And with the money, we can live anywhere with Shangri-La.

I also found what Azarea said about kerosene, but it's very sarah and close to the original world kerosene. But it smells different - something fishy.

When I talked to the sales clerk, it seemed to be the fat of a sea beast. Hee ~, if you change places, the product will change.

This is close to the sea, so you can get sea beast fat, but in more landlocked countries, oil from plants is used as kerosene.

"We're talking about the proximity of the ocean - that's right, there's no seafood..."

Rather than seafood, we don't even have raw fish - well, it doesn't preserve it. With the item box, you could bring the fish from the ocean.

I'd like to try some fruit.

They also sell assorted vegetables and fruits at Shangri-La for about 2,500 to 3,000 yen. However, unusual fruits that are unique in this world are naturally only available here.

"Uncle ~ Why don't you buy it?

I can speak to a woman who is piling fruit. It seems that there are 10 pieces of fruit loaded in Zaru and one piece of copper coin (1000 yen).

There are also small square copper coins under the copper coins, which is equivalent to 100 yen per piece, but it is troublesome to calculate, and small items account for most of the total sales.

"Hmm... I want to eat all kinds of things, but won't it be one bronze coin for three kinds each?

Fine.

I'll tell you what's OK. I bought red, green and yellow fruit, but I left 1 red apple-like fruit and put everything else in the item box.

Item box display is - [Linker] [Lyon] [Lynns]. I see, this red one is the linker Azarea was talking about.

I'll try a bite-- sweet and sour, delicious. It looks like an apple - but it tastes like a combination of peaches and apples.

This is the only place we can eat in this world.

"Hey, husband. Did you just put what you bought in the item box?

Looks like the woman who was selling the fruit was watching what I did.

"Oh, yeah."

"It's good, isn't it?

It's small though. It's incredibly useful. "

You were listening to a conversation with a woman - a well-dressed macho with a cropped head talked to you.

"Husband, do you have an item box?

Well, it's small.

"Do a little big shopping. Can you help me carry it?

"You look pretty powerful. Well, it depends on money."

"How about a piece of bronze?

The hourly wage is 1,000 yen - a bit small.

Well, I guess. If you hire someone, they'll take more, right?

"Please, I don't have any money. How about two coppers?

"If you ask someone you know and buy alcohol, you'll be happy to do it.

"If I had that money, I'd drink it, right? Three copper coins, then!

You seem desperate, but I wonder what you bought. I don't know if I can carry it with this Mukimuki... 3,000 yen an hour, well, a little part-time would be a good way to make a living.

"Got it. You can carry three pieces of bronze - I don't know what you bought, but if you don't get into the item box, give it up."

Ok, that's what I'm talking about.

I don't feel malicious or suspicious when I'm talking. You really just want me to carry something.

After the man, I decided to go to the place where I left what I bought. Speaking alongside a man, another man spoke from behind.

"Yoo-yo, Milord. You have an item box? I have a really good story for you. Would you like a ride?

The man I was talking to was a slightly cat-headed man with a dull, lowly face. Hmm, this one looks suspicious.

But there's nothing delicious about it. Beautiful flowers have thorns. There's a trap to a good story.

Even at my job, it's nice to jump to a delicious story, but there's nothing wrong with a late payment, a business partner flying or a bill flying... even if I remember it.

They say it's a job to transport seafood from the sea, ice from mountains and ice holes.

"It's gonna be good money."

"It will certainly be expensive. Who would buy something like that?

"Hehe, nobleman."

"Oh, I'm sorry, but I don't want to be involved with the nobles."

Macho was interrupting the conversation.

"Stop it, husband. Nobles aren't rock 'roll. If you don't want it anymore, it's not boring. Put on your dick.

A man puts a knife on his neck. I guess it means you're usually going to get your neck chopped off - no kidding.

I see.

"Besides, the guy with the big item box is being pulled to the battlefield and used."

"Battlefield? Do you carry weapons?

There is one too. Bring food for the nobles. That way, you can enjoy a luxurious meal on the battlefield. "

"I really don't think so."

"Isn't it?"

The man is waving his head with his hands open.

"--That's why. I refuse because I don't want to be involved with the nobles."

"Hey, don't regret it!

Leaving behind the dialogues, the cat-headed man left the scene for a run. Again, if there is a useful item called this item box, it may be bound.

In this world, the royal nobles are absolutely powerful. If you defy me, you'll be in trouble.

"A fool who sniffs at God without touching him, who leaves you alone, who knows what he smells like."

Husband, you have a lesson to learn.

"What, the degree of biting?"

There was a road, and I asked the man about the forest.

"There was a black beast in the woods... you know?

"Black, cat?

"No, it was a dog or a wolf."

"That's a black wolf. I've never heard of going down the street."

Are you still a wolf? In some places, they call it the Magic Wolf.

"No, in the woods."

"Why are you in the wood- haha, you tried to take a shortcut?

"Well, that's it. I was about to be attacked and eaten."

"You shouldn't go in the woods. They say the same sight lasts forever and they don't know where they're going."

That's really what it looks like. As you move forward, the conifers just stand there forever... I didn't get lost because I have a bearing magnet.

Some of my locals were in distress for picking wild plants. Once you're in the mountains, you don't have a mark, and you don't know where you are.

There were laughing stories of people I knew walking on the other side of the mountain to the next town.

I arrived at my destination with a man. From what I've seen, it's a tool shop.

That's what I bought.

The man pointed to the big bed - the so-called double bed. There are no plywood in this world, so all are innocent trees.

I tried lifting the edge a little, but it's pretty heavy. I think it is probably more than 50 kg. Sure, I can't do this alone.

"Did you get married or are you going to buy a bed this big?

"Hehe"

A big man scratches his head and becomes red.

"--Does that mean that if you ask me to transport this guy, it will cost more than three copper coins?"

"That's right. That's why I was looking for someone to help me for free..."

"So you ran into me. But congratulations. I want to carry it somehow."

I should be able to get into the item box with this much room, but I'm talking about the small capacity, so if I fail, I'm sorry - I say no.

Yoo-hoo

Double beds were sucked into the item box and labeled "Double bed (used)" was added.

"Oh, wow. Is this the item box?"

"I'm glad it worked. Let's go to your house."

The man's house was on the outskirts of the city, just next to the wall - a small wooden house with armoured walls. Inside are two bedrooms, a living room and a bedroom, with a kitchen in the living room.

Don't remind me of a cultural home that used to be popular in the former world.

Well, let's get you into the room.

But there's already a bed in the bedroom. If we don't get this out of here, we can't put a double bed in.

Before that--

"Hey, can't you bring a double bed in because the front door and bedroom doors are too narrow?

"Ah...."

The man also seems to have noticed. It seems that it can be disassembled, but without tools such as wooden hammers, it seems a little difficult.

"Well, let me handle it."

First, we take the double bed we brought out. Then, put the bed in the bedroom in the item box and go outside.

And if you put a double bed in the item box and put it out in the bedroom - it's done.

The capacity of the item box can accommodate about two beds, but I have to do something like this before saying that the capacity is small.

"Areeeeeee! I owe you."

"What about this bed you've been using?

"I'll do it for my husband. Put it in the item box and take it with you."

"Are you sure? If you sell it, you'll get paid.

"If I don't ask my husband again, I'll have to carry it. Besides, I have to clean up the room."

Well, if my daughter-in-law comes, I have a lot of things to stock up on, and I don't think it's time to handle the bed.

Besides, he knows I'm a merchant because I have my Commercial Guild badge down my neck...

"Can I sell my bed?

"Of course. If it wasn't for my husband - even if I asked someone else to bring me a bed, I'd be stuck in my room."

The man is laughing bitterly, but he will be right. He didn't turn his head that far.

"Well then, the fare is fine in this bed."

"Is that okay?

Ah.

I tried putting the bed in front of me into the shopping area and the results came out quickly. [Assessment result] [Single bed (used) purchase price 20,000 yen]

Well, if it goes well, it'll be 30,000 to 40,000 yen. But I got a little too much.

When I showed up on Shangri-La's screen, I searched for a double linen sheet. The unbranded product was sold for 4000 yen, so I bought it.

It is about 2,000 yen for cotton, but the sheets in the inn were hemp, so I chose this one. When you press the [Purchase] button, a double sheet falls in front of you.

"I'll give you a sheet for your honeymoon. You haven't bought it yet, have you?

"Really, there is! Husband, you're too nice."

Mukimki's man kind of had tears in his eyes - but I got a bed, and I didn't lose it. My conscience hurts when I thank you very much.

But the next time we take that double bed out, we'll have to disassemble it.

When I say goodbye to the man in the bed, I go around the market - giving the merchant some money and asking. Collecting information is important.

And I went back to the inn before sundown, but because of the time, a lot of visitors came and the restaurant was busy.

"Welcome back."

"Oh, I'm home. This is a souvenir."

I gave Azarea a linker that I took out of the item box.

Linker! Thank you, I love this sweet. Did you sign up for the guild?

Ah.

Show her a thin metal stick - a proof of the Alliance.

You did it.

That's why I'm so busy at dinner, so the conversation goes back to my room. It would be bad to get in the way of your work.

I'm hungry, so why don't we try some of the fruit I bought at the market? Now that the linker has been eaten, let's try the green lynx.

Buy a fruit knife for 1000 yen, peel off the green skin and roll the curls and vortex.

"Shhhhh!

There is also sweetness as sharpness, but it is very sour. This might be delicious if it's dried and plum dried.

Continue eating the yellow Lynns.

Yeah, sweet.

It doesn't have any acidity at all, and it tastes like a real mango. He can go, too. I'm looking forward to the market because there are a lot of fruits that I haven't bought yet.

I bought strings at Shangri-La - 100 yen. I decided to lower it from my neck through the string on the certificate.

Even if you look at the market, it was the style that was most common, so follow it - if you enter the country, follow the country.

Now that I know what the market feels like, I think I'll start a little business preparation tomorrow. But you don't have to make any money, that's fine.

If you earn enough to eat, you can buy what you need from Shangri-La.

In the meantime, the goal is to invest 3,000 yen and sell 10,000 yen.

Aim for slow life in a different world. Will it succeed?
