"Brother Shiloh, I can't wait to see you all."

"Right. I may have made too much."

Now there's a mountain of homemade survival matches (waterproof matches) in front of me and Aina.

If I counted the empty boxes, what an empty thirteen match boxes containing forty bottles.

In other words, we would have made as many as 520 survival matches.

"... have you been hanging in there a little too hard? Aina, are you okay?

I turned my wrist around and relaxed, and I asked Aina, next door,

"Um... did Eina get a little annoyed, too?

That's what he said, and he left his head with me.

Aina has only gotten a little sweeter lately than before.

You don't know what the reason is, but you're glad to think it's trusted evidence.

"I'm sorry I made you tired in the morning"

"Yeah. I'm coming to Aina."

"Oh well. But don't push it."

"Yeah."

Aina nods and shifts her gaze to a homemade survival match.

At first, it was difficult to catch fire or thicken the rows too thick.

But as I continued to make it, I was going to get the hang of it and increase the quality to a level where I could sell it as a product.

"Brother Shiloh, why did you make Aina say goodbye to me all the time?

Aina asks me the same way she brought it to me.

I'm sorry, Aina.

Actually, I've never made a survival before.

"Um, there's an old man living out of town, right?

"Yeah."

"Young people get construction jobs, but old people without physical strength don't, do they?

"... yeah"

I guess Eina, who lives out of town, understands the situation better than I do.

I only look sad for a moment.

"That's why I've been thinking about getting old people who don't have jobs to make survival matches and earn money."

"Huh?"

Aina with a surprised face.

To Aina like that, I pound my cheeks.

"If it's a survival match you've just made, don't you think you can even make it for the elderly?

"Huh!? I think! 'Cause even Aina made it easy for me. Uncle, aunt, even you can make it!

Aina wakes up and looks at me.

Because you're excited, those cheeks are red.

"Right?"

"Yeah!"

Hold both hands, yeah nodding Aina.

"Well, Aina's a teacher who teaches old people how to make survival matches."

"Yeah! I'll do it, Dr. Eina!

Aina raises her hand high.

"Thanks. All you have to do is figure out what to do with the sale price..."

I put my arms together and I go around my thoughts.

Match selling prices are like this as they stand.

Four copper coins are small matches containing forty bottles.

Fifty-five copper coins are the size of a match containing 800 bottles.

Fifty copper coins for a survival match containing 25 bottles.

Matches are popular with the town's residents, and survival matches are popular with adventurers.

What makes off-the-shelf survival matches popular with adventurers is that the wind seems to blow as wet as water.

But it seems that 50 copper coins (5,000 yen) for 25 bottles is also an amount that is hard to reach for less earned adventurers.

So it's time for a homemade survival match.

Although the quality is not as good as the off-the-shelf survival matches and is vulnerable to the wind, even when wet in water, it ignites.

I'm sure the adventurers can safely use this performance.

The rest is what to do with the price of homemade survival matches.

An intermediate price must be set that is higher than a normal match and cheaper than a ready-made survival match.

"Hmm... I guess 50 copper coins for 80 bottles?

The cost is 46 yen for matches. Candles and manicures cost 110 yen each. A total of 266 yen.

The profit after deducting the cost of materials is 4734 yen.

From here on out of town as a production cost, how much do you pay for an old man... yeah.

Why don't you talk to Karen about it?

"Shiloh, brother, Dr. Eina, since when do you do this?

"Shall I talk to Karen and do it as soon as it's OK? I'll talk to you when we're done for today."

"Yeah!"

Aina smiles extraordinarily.

At that time,

- Tons.

I heard knocking on the store door.

Oops. I was so immersed in making a survival match that I forgot to open a store.

"Aina, if you're tired of making matches, you can take the day off, okay?

"Yeah. Aina, you're gonna be fine."

Aina shakes her head and rises from her chair.

"Shiloh, brother, you're opening a shop."

"Yeah. Please"

Aina runs off and turns the bill on the door of the store upside down to make it 'open'.

the adventurers waiting to open outside the store,

"Welcome -"

Aina welcomes you by opening the door.

Sales start of the day. It's the beginning of the day.
