Dungeons for the Devil, Dungeons for the Core (Book Version Title: A Different World Dungeon Made with the Devil)

Let Crowe point out that Zubari had one deep sigh (one).

"Did you still notice… Yes, Selmine has been diagnosing it"

"It is certainly one of the options. But even if we can attract customers with sugar-based drinks, how do we get them to sell sugar from there?

"The last time I heard about the sale of sugar, I was there. Depending on the price, I thought I'd buy it."

"But it was white sugar served with the beverage, and under Selmine's plan, it would be brown sugar, wouldn't it? I have to explain the difference between the price of a drink and the price of brown sugar, right?

"Ah... that's... that's true"

The sugar provided at the tea stand is a teaspoon, so about three to five grams. If Theodoram's "fine sugar," that alone would cost between one and one and a half silver coins. I sold it for half a silver coin in a drink. Even if you sell brown sugar for half the price of theodrum, it is still a price that seems high.

"... Well, I can only say that about white sugar it's a special price for the festival... if they ask me why I don't make brown sugar a special price... then"

"... what then?

"Sooner or later I'll have to explain that I'm selling ahead at the price I plan to sell. But are you sure? You're gonna make it clear that the subhumans will be selling sugar soon, right?

The three horns shut up to Crowe, who pushes in case it's okay to cut the battle tag here.

"Well, it won't be up to you guys to decide in one place, so let's move on assuming we do. I mean, it's an assumption about what happens in that case."

"... Yes. So please."

Crowe continues to make further bomb remarks as he sees the horns looking nervous.

"Well, as a matter of fact, even if we sell it for less than half the price of Theodoram, we can probably get enough of it. This would be the same if I entrusted you with the manufacture of sugar."

Though the horns were often pokant at the clowns who had spoken well, when the meaning of the remarks could be swallowed, they seemed unable to hide their confusion.

"Um... what's that?

"Perhaps the price of sugar attached by Theodoram is based on the price of inbound sugar. Shipwreck sugar is transported by boat from other continents (approx.), so the cost of transportation and labor is tremendous. Five times the selling price in the country of origin, and if you do it poorly, you'll be surprised if it's more than ten times higher."

Crowe's point was that he was shooting at Masako. By the time it was brought to this continent, the price of sugar had soared more than ten times higher than it had been on the ground. Not only transport and labour costs, but also the risk of ship wreckage, piracy and damage caused by monsters had to be put on price, but it was the fate of the late.

"... you mean...?

"At least Theodoram, who doesn't have to think about transportation or anything else, is more than ten times more abusive. So even if we sell it for half the price of Theodoram, we sell it for five times the original price. That's a price that's profitable enough."

Here Crowe cut the words once, but looked around at the three faces and continued again.

"But the problem is, we can't sell it for half the price. If you do that, the buyer will kill you and the sugar will poke you to the bottom in no time. Considered to be a sellout, it could develop into a riot at worst. … that is, it can be sold at its original price, unless it is accompanied by just enough productivity to meet demand.... Well, it would be the limit to give a 30% cheaper value even if you could"

The three of them how convinced they were by Crowe's explanation.

"Therefore, when white sugar is used as a discount, it is inevitable that brown sugar appears to be higher than white sugar. You might eat worse than I thought, huh?

"Hey, how about that?"

Crowe's objections to his concerns unexpectedly rose out of Dime's mouth.

"As a discount, if brown sugar sells at an affordable price, I think a lot of people want to buy it. Though you'll need to make sure it tastes good. Besides... I don't think there's much trouble with calculations like what the spiritualist said."

"No... trouble... it's just a proportional calculation, huh? About the allocation and multiplication..."

"There's a lot of people who can't."

Horn to say it out loud. Crowe thinks at a modern Japanese level of education, but this is the opinion of the locals right.

"But... the target, the wealthy citizen, would be able to calculate this much?

"The target, the wealthy citizen, is a realist, so I think it's a lot cheaper than Theodoram's sugar."
