I Became the Demon Lord and my Territory is an Uninhabited Island

"Thank you very much for always favoring me, this is just a thank you, so please take it and save it in a dark place without sunlight."

With that said, I'll leave a box of chocolate from Calm as a souvenir. Has it been twenty days since that? The sun is getting strong and it is about to start getting hot. Of course, I heard that chocolate melts in the heat.

Think lightly after delivering a finely decorated goldwork ring and a ring with a large jewel to the house of the aristocrat, lower in the rank of the corundum, next to the crown.

After that, I saw the situation at a coffee shop, but not for coffee but for cocoa and chocolate, the number of customers seems to be increasing, the number of customers seems to be increasing, and there are rumors in the town Would.

When I first tasted this chocolate, it was impressive with its unprecedented melting and sweetness.

I tried drinking cocoa which I said was freshly made, but it was different from coffee again, a bit powdery, but for some reason it was a safe taste. Cocoa and chocolate have come to be mixed into the set. I guess Calm has made various prototypes and put them out in the store.

The demons don't really know what they are thinking, but as I said, the three items in that store seem to be really fashionable.

Somehow, I also drink coffee after lunch to change my mood. I observe the store by accident, but I guess it's surprising to see a harsh, adventurer-like man who drinks a lot of sugar and cow's milk and sweetens it.

On the contrary, it seems surprising that a woman who seems to like sweets drinks without putting anything. The idea that women like sweets is all changed. I think it's an interesting drink that really lets you know your tastes.

Is cocoa rumored? Some children and children from affluent families come to drink alone, and I have seen people like servants buy only powder .

I do not forget the rumors that the store first advertised.

"A weird demon is hanging a board on his body and advertising with a signboard." A subordinate who was curious and went to see the situation for a while said, "The way of advertising was amazing," the master and the serving woman standing at the counter were not shy and moved. However, it is still advertised because it can be seen with strange eyes.

After that, I saw people hanging on the board and advertizing to the sailors of the ship approaching the harbor. I feel that demand has increased.

A store off the street where a quaint bird rang was suddenly famous for its cheapness and deliciousness. He was too busy to talk about hiring a clerk. I was reminded of the greatness of advertising.

Then, while telling Mr. Calm for some reason, the master buys the necessary consumables at a cheap price in my store. Certainly, it will be cheaper if just one retail store is not in between ...

And it's rumored that some idiot hired a little villain to find the source of coffee, but the guild staff who was in the store, It was apparently taken over by a sailor and taken away. It's a good thing that you don't need adventurers who are good at crime prevention just because you say the store is loved by the community. Did Calm think about that?

I guess you should sneak into the store at night and steal it, but it's something that hasn't been circulated yet and you don't know how to carry your inventory, so if you steal it you'll get away soon.

I fell asleep while thinking a bit, and when I noticed I arrived corundum. The sun started to fall, and when I was gathering documents in the store's office, the store's master came and told me that I had a story, and I was asked to go through.

"Always I am indebted"

"No problem"

"I'm sorry for the sudden talk, but a merchant came to the store and asked if I could sell coffee."

"Well, I think that's a good thing ... Why in my store?"

"Mr. Calm told me. If someone appears to want to buy coffee, give him to Nils ..."

With that said, the master issued a letter with a wax seal.

"Excuse me"

When they say so, they are sealed with wax but have no mark. Open the seal and start reading.

"Even if there is a customer who wants to buy a product from the store, you have been told to give this letter.

What is everything? When I read the following without worrying about such a thing, a certain thing was written.

I can be the point of contact and sell the island products to a certain extent. The price of one bag is calculated from the price of a cup of coffee, the approximate retail price and the wholesale price are written on my store, and the selling price can be changed to some extent by this judgment. The inventory, the number that can be carried by transfer magic, and other things were written. Considering the wages, rarity and topicality of workers, it is reasonable to say that it is reasonable, but it feels a little cheaper. Is it a consideration for me?

I just dropped in on such an island and sold some bedding and food, but this was a bit too heavy to pay back, even during the chocolates during that time. It's a bad idea for a merchant, Calm is too kind ...

"Okay, I know, the next time the merchant or Mr. Calm comes, tell her to visit me."

"Understood. Thank you very much"

"No, I am thankful for the content of the letter, thank you very much."

With that said, the handshake is over and the master returns.

"Master, what was the master of the coffee shop?"

"Since the merchant came to the store to sell coffee, he just came and gave me Calm's letter."

"Oh, that sounds pretty interesting."

"It's a really funny story, because I'm trying to be my own merchant on that island."

"Huh? What does that mean?"

"Coffee is sold at a certain price, so you can sell it at your favorite price. Well, it was written that you could make a profit by adding a certain amount, It really led to a big talk, and if I didn't go to that island, that kind of talk was taken to other guys. "

"My master, I'm laughing with a bad face."

"I'm sorry, there aren't many such delicious stories. If you don't make Mr. Calm even make a wax seal, there is not enough sense of danger."

◇

The next day, a catfish-like bearded merchant came to me.

"I heard that Mr. Nils handles coffee, but where do you buy it from?-I'd like to tell you because I'd like to go shopping if it's good. I will study with you.

"It's a producer's wish, we won't let that happen, and we can say that we're up to the task of selling it, because it seems to be trustworthy, but it's just getting started, Because the rarity is high, the price has not been decided yet (...) The producer will come to me at a later date, so I will talk more about it at that time. There is not, but please pick it up. When the story is finished, I will ask you there at a later date.

"... Okay, I'm sorry today."

I said so and went home quietly.

Certainly, there were some deals with the merchant, but there are a few bad rumors that I can't really trust. I think Calm is fine, but there is also the possibility of buying.

With that in mind, write some necessary information on paper so that Mr. Calm may come.

□

"Thank you, have you changed anything?"

"Mr. Calm! @ A merchant came to sell the coffee, so I delivered the letter to Nils as told."

"Thank you, I'll go, oh, please close the door."

With that said, I left the store normally.

"I'm absolutely happy, but I don't show that kind of thing at all."

"Yes, but it seemed to be disguised, but I usually opened the door with my right hand and went out, but today I was on my left hand."

"Don't look closely."

"Is it fun to observe?"

□

"Thank you, Nils?

"I'm in the back"

As usual, I approach the staff near me, go to the back room I'm used to, knock, and wait for a reply.

"Well, the master told me and asked me."

"It's bad right now, but let's talk about work."

Nils talks to me with a little tingle. I hate this air, I just wanted to move it loose.

"Okay, where are you from?"

"It's all! It's all! That letter is too loose. It was certainly a reasonable number in the calculation, but you should discuss it and decide!? And there is no seal on the wax and what to do if it is forged Is it? "

"Ah, I'm here. Did you see five signs you didn't see at the sign? Did you have a habit, and if you weren't used to writing it, it wouldn't look similar? So, you see, there's a habit in the letters too, right? "

Of course, the symbols are indigo (aquamarine) with the name of the island in kanji, and two characters of my last name and one name in kanji, a total of five characters written with low viscosity ink on the brush, like a penmanship The characters written in the last are left in Kanji as a signature. I actually wanted a brush and ink for penmanship, but it was a compromise.

Even if I try to imitate it, it will be impossible in this world, and I think that I can not imitate "Ai" because it is written down a little.

"I don't know what is written."

"It would be nice if you thought it was a mixture of fine seals and signatures on wax seals."

"Hmm"

He has a very uncomfortable face. Do you give a little extra?

`` It is written that there are four sticks in the last, unskilled square, Calm ''

It's a character that's been used for more than two decades, and of course, it's used to stop, pay, and bounce, so it's going to be addictive.

"Is it this ...?"

He doesn't seem convinced yet, and he imitates all five characters using the misplaced paper. It is impossible with a quill pen. Moreover, it imitates a simple “ball”, but at any rate, it simply marks the three bars and vertical lines.

"Well, it's pretty difficult, you said you have a habit? Perhaps counterfeiting is fine, I will give up for a while to make Calm make a stamp, but I will make it at a later date. Let's pray that the idiot, for the good thing that there is no stamp, willingly forge and dig a grave. ''

He then crumpled the paper and threw it into the junk basket.

Did you give up? It was like the first English-speaking people to write kanji. I can't help it.

afterwards. I'll go through the details and make two documents. And the last sign is to buy a thin brush for painting instead of a quill and sign it.

"Do you use it, you can write well though it is soft?"

"From my point of view, it's so hard that I can write well."

With a little laugh, I write a total of five kanji on two documents.

And Nils compared those two.

"That's true, almost the same, like where it's stopped or where it's being paid.

While saying so, I tried with a brush this time, but it was in a worse state than when I wrote with a quill pen, and silently rolled paper into a waste basket and threw it.

"And how much stock do you have for coffee?"

"Because I asked for harvests from time to time, I think there are 100 bags of wheat bags, but I don't know honestly because I used the place I used for my house as a warehouse. You have to roast it so that

"Do you want?"

"The fast story is to roast the beans and burn them. The way you burn them is sour or bitter. You can't do it until you ship them. You have to roast it and then grind it ... does it change a little in the way you grind it? "

"Well, what's in the store right now?"

"I used to be me, but now I'm leaving it to coffee lovers. It's almost time to run out of stock and it's time to turn into roasted beans, so I think you'll see a difference."

"Mm ... this must be told to the other side."

"Yes. It would be a big mistake if you thought that taste would always come out. By the way, if you find coffee outside that island, the taste will be different."

"Wait a minute, take notes"

With that said, I take a note and ask me about coffee in detail. Perhaps it would be rude to the other side, so I answered everything I was asked and answered as long as I knew that I was not heard.

"Are you able to secure a hundred for the time being?"

"Well, I think that the more manpower you get, the more yield you get, but well, you don't have the money, you can't hire people, or you can't buy slaves.

You can make it cheaper if you harvest it on your own, but there are also problems such as bed and food during your stay, and you'll think you'll be exhausted. Will you still use the rarity?

□

The next morning, I go to the merchant and talk to him.

"That's why the discussion is exactly as I said earlier. This is a document and the other person has a copy of this."

I show the paper out of my bosom.

The catfish beard merchant takes the documents and begins to skim lightly.

"It's true. Then you get coffee if you let it through."

"Oh, sorry, that's what it is. It doesn't sell even if you go without permission, so please be careful. And this is a note."

With that said, take out another piece of paper and let it read.

"Roast the beans, make them your own taste, and the taste changes even when you grind !? I wonder if you can get that taste as it is!"

"Unfortunately, it seems impossible. It's a real pleasure to roast the dried beans yourself and make it taste your own, and it's also a pleasure that the shop owner has a different taste."

"Nuu ..."

It has a very difficult face, did you think you could get the taste of that store? No, I thought, but when I was told the truth, I changed my mind, "Yes, that's right."

Did the client who asked the beard expect that coffee from that store would be available? Or I don't know if I thought this beard would have the same flavor, but I'm quite thinking.

"Then I'll buy one bag for a trial."

I guess it's less than I expected, either a chef hiring or trying to talk to the client.

"Thank you, then one bag."

With that in mind, I wrote the documents and handed them over to the master so that Mr. Calm would not be wasted, so I could have them later. If it's just a bag, it's safe to take it out of that store.

And if that catfish beard does well, I just need to go buy it or talk and carry it.

Money has just begun to form ...

If coffee and chocolate are sold and the number of workers is increased, the island will become richer, demand will increase, and daily necessities and crops not made on the island will be sold. If you think so, I want you to expand your business as soon as possible. I'm using this over here too, will you ride this one too?

Oh, maybe I'm laughing with a really bad face right now. I was sorry that I could not get iron on the island, so why not try to go to a mine town next time?
