I Said Make My Abilities Average!

"Okay, I'll open the store here"

It is already the third day since the merchants entered imperial territory.

Since no new information is available very close to the border, until now there has been no commerce, only to proceed towards the imperial capital. And this time, we decided to do our first business in this city.

When I say business, I don't do mass deals with imperial merchants. If we do that, we lose the sale in a few deals, and if we lose the merchandise we bring from the kingdom and buy in the merchandise of the empire, we have no more reason to wander around the empire without going home, and we are suspicious.

Selling what you buy in the Empire in other cities within the Empire makes a little money, but it's not like a merchant from another country would bother to stay in the Empire and do it. Because it is much more profitable to do business in one's own country or in another than to do business in an empire with a bad economy.

It was only the task of this merchant corps to gather shallow and broad information from the people of Shirai while buying time from retail deals dealing with the general public.

Professionals on that side were in charge of gathering information and manipulation against noblemen and large merchants and not the role of this merchant corps.

"Now, all of you, take off your horses and connect them to the trees around them. We take the front of the carriage off and get ready for the store. Everyone in The Red Oath should be alert to scratching (or paying) for gaps in their work.

Don't let me prepare you for our store. It's dangerous, and I need a lot of tricks, so rejecting it gets in the way..., annoying..., no, no, no, I'm sorry to ask you to help me... "

It is a genuine dada leak, but certainly, if the amateur hands it poorly, it would be annoying to reject it. The merchants, in fact, are 'what a merchant', but the least should be practicing beforehand. Really, the real merchants and those who were the owners of this carriage...

Yes, this carriage unloads the central part of the carrier and sells it side by side on a widened seat, but if you remove the front, the bulk of the goods can be used as an exhibition stand. The construction was quite well thought out.

In fact, Lena had some knowledge of this type of 'deformed store carriage', but she kept her mouth shut because only one of the four people is also allergic to being helped.

"While we're in business, you can either wander around or take a gentle nap and rest, as long as you're ready to rush when something goes wrong."

That's what the merchants' leaders said to me, but of course, there was something to do with The Red Vow, especially Pauline.... Yes, it is.

"The mobile store, The Virgin's House, is ready to open!

"" "Hi, Sir!

Here is a reply as a hunter: 'Oh!' Instead, Miles responded with a dialogue of a certain demon god (Jin) familiar with the fukashi story. It's a powerful battle start!

miles to see what's going on nearby.

Because it is still early in the morning, there are few people on the street. Aim for moments when no one is watching this one......

"Paparaper!"

Don't!

Next to the three carriages, slightly behind them, appeared a large tent that was familiar. And in front of it, in a place that matches the position of the carriage, the chair and the long desk.

Miles just walked into the tent. Probably will sell inside. If you've got a place blocked from the eyes, you just have to take your time selecting items in it.

The merchants don't look surprised. It has already been shown many times (each time) by the degree of camp, so it is now.

After a while, miles went back and forth from inside the tent and began to pile up various crates and bags behind the long desk.... Lena and the others who think it's bad but leave that task to one mile.

No, it's heavy, is it?

Miles are carried lightly, but lifting, carrying, and lowering the arrow by bending the hips is quite lumpy. When a girl hurts her back, it's hard.

...... so I'll leave it to Miles. Proper material. For that matter, you can help him in areas where he doesn't like miles. That's what convinces us, it was Lena and the others...

While Miles was hauling, Lena and the others were arranging product samples on the long desk.

Whereas merchants sell a variety of products, or multiple varieties of small quantities, The Red Vow narrows down the variety of products and targets small varieties of bulk sales. Because there are no efficient exhibition stands and it is difficult to remember the price of many products at any rate, we adopted such a strategy.

Of course, when it came to mass sales, it was meant to be reduced to 'if you add up the quantity you sell everywhere', an amount not so unnatural to sell in one place, at most about half the wagon. That's about it, no one would notice the inconsistency between the amount of all the merchants' merchandise combined and the amount of carriage loaded, and I don't think that's what anyone cares about in the first place.

Besides, it includes the intent to "avoid duplication with merchants' goods" and "not expensive luxury goods, but products that would help the civilian population of the Empire".

Of course, it includes cheap alcohol and other preferences, but The Red Vow maintains wheat, barley, and salt as its main selling items. If it's a common product, you don't have to have much conversation with customers.

Only, it is the merchants who gather information, and the request received by The Red Oath does not include such a mandate. Merchandise sales were only the free will of the 'Red Oath', to the extent that for the merchants they were 'lucky if they came to visit'.

Lena and the others were worried about the merchants, "Even though they are public servants and people from the research fields, can they properly listen to various public stories from customers?" But that's about as much as the 'Uppers' will know. Not all researchers are shady cads of communal disorder. Quite a few should have been chosen.

"All right, we're ready! Start selling!!

"The Red Vow" started selling the product, along with a temperamental Pauline hanging voice. The merchants had already started selling, although there were no calls.

And when it comes to entering customers...

A lot.

Even though the gold turnover is poor and the purchasing power is low, for that matter, a large number of customers are looking for products.

… but it seems that no one is too aggressive to ask questions or negotiate discounts, just to look at.

Probably going to be like window shopping where there are no bargains cheaper than the market in this city or to see and enjoy rare items because there is no entertainment at all.

But such customers are also part of a 'population' that includes those who actually buy goods, and one day they may buy them. Therefore, it is the merchant who also takes care of such a "customer who will not buy it this time".

Besides, since the main task this time is to "talk to customers and the public outside of business", the merchants did not force them to recommend the products, but told them about popular and rumoured stories and various other information in other countries so as to entertain the customers, and drew various stories from the customers.

"... what a surprise..."

"People don't look..."

"I didn't know you were such a good customer...... Researchers, I can't insult you..."

"That's right, only the chosen one..."

Sequins, sequins!

"Pain (was there) Huh!

"What are you doing, Mr. Lena!

Suddenly Lena slaps me in the head with a cane (staff), screaming Pauline and complaining miles.

"You're not supposed to say anything, you cautioned me, right?

"" Ah... "

Indeed, it was agreed that we should not say inadvertent things even when we were alone. Besides, you wouldn't have heard the conversation right now, but there are people in the city right around the corner. What Lena and Mavis said was acceptable, but words like 'researcher' and 'chosen person' would be completely out.

"Sorry......"

"It was frivolous..."

Miles and Pauline honestly admit their nonsense and apologize.

At first, there is no appearance of a customer for the "Red Oath" who just keeps some specimens of wheat, salt, liquor and other items on the long desk, and all flock to the carriages and seats of the merchants, who are clutterfully lined up with things that seem interesting.

Naturally. No matter how many essentials, neither wheat nor salt nor liquor is anything else unusual.

It is true that there is a shortage, but it is not that there is none at all, but it is the goods that you can obtain if you pile up the gold. And the fact that merchants from other countries have bothered to take days to carry large bad roads with high and low disparities adds up to the cost of transport and labor for that matter, especially the heavy ones and the tight ones.

Increments prepared for the risk of labor costs, the cost of hiring escorts, the depreciation of horses and carriages, and the loss of everything by bandits and demons on several occasions.

Those additions result in a price increase of tens of percent for goods transported from other countries. No matter how cheaper local sales prices are in other countries, there is no point in increasing prices by 50% and 60% for transport.

So it was natural for people to get through to the crowd first wondering if there were any excavations, interesting or unusual.

... But to the four of you in The Red Vow, it didn't look like you were in a hurry.

Maybe we have a chance, but if we didn't sell here, there's nothing wrong with that.

I just need to keep it in the item box and sell it when I go to a place that sells higher than the purchase value. Besides, there will be times when one day the weather will be irregular and the murder will take place, or the food will soar in the war.

...... what you store does not deteriorate, item box. It was an anomaly......
