Labyrinth Restaurant

gossip and shops

Shops open in the labyrinth.

There, we also deal with a wide range of non-practical souvenirs.

Rather than that, when I was just starting a store, I only handled items that I didn't know where there was demand, such as pennants and wood-carved dolls, but naturally I had little fondness for buying such things, so I sometimes had a history of increasing the number of products that I was likely to sell for customers later.

Most visitors to this labyrinth are accustomed to traveling, such as adventurers and pedestrians, so preserved foods, such as canned and dried foods, as well as clothing and underwear, which are mostly for women, have gained popularity as a staple product.

"Welcome, what are you looking for today?

"Can I see your underwear? I'd like you to put a few pieces together, if you can."

"The designs here are cute, and they're comfortable ~"

A homunculus asagao with his hair tied with a purple ribbon was serving a pair of adventurer women.

"I see. So how about this one of the new products, etc?

That's what Asagao took out was such a piece of cloth area that it seemed like it was just a string at first sight and could be mistaken.

"If you walk around the city wearing this, your gaze is nailed to the customer, the so-called fashion leader."

Disregard for comfort, practicality, etc. in everyday life, intended for an extremely limited kind of use, it certainly nails the gaze around you for better or worse if worn and out in public. Although in some cases it is very possible to take care of the official constitution or be questioned for sanity.

"… I wonder if there are any more cloths"

"I can't wear this for a bit ~..."

"So how about this one? The cloth area is wider than the previous one, but the design prioritizes breathability, so it won't steam after wearing it for a long time."

What Asagao then took out was a lot larger cloth area than the string underwear earlier. Notably, the emphasis on breathability prevents it from steaming and greatly reduces itching, sweat rash, etc. associated with prolonged wear.

"Sole, I mean, it's breathable... but by the way, it looks like there's a hole in the pinpoint in the area to be hidden..."

"That's a little too... Would you like something more normal?"

"That's a shame. Of course, some things are ordinary, but they are all lacking in fun, so whether you can live up to your expectations…"

"I don't want any fun in my underwear, so it's okay..."

"Every time, why are you recommending a story product first?"

"Welcome, what are you looking for today?

"I came to buy preserved food. Do you have any recommendations?

"I like meat, the dried beef (beef jerky) I bought before this was excellent"

Yuugao, a homunculus with a red ribbon, was serving a pair of men from an adventurer who came to buy preserved food.

"Recommended......, then how about a cochlear or something?

That being said, what Yugao took out was some kind of dried meat in what was an unspeakably toxic red-purple hue.

"Here, it is dried meat made from the processing of rare multi-headed dragon (hydra) meat. It is a delicacy that is soaked in multiple herbs to remove odors and seasoned with various spices (spices), including pepper"

Hydra's dried meat comes with a delicious smell that you can't imagine from its appearance, and it relentlessly stimulates your appetite. But the adventurers had one concern.

"But... hydra is poisonous, isn't it?

"... ferocious. I've heard assassins use poison materials."

But Yugao explained to relieve that anxiety.

"Don't worry, we have a licensed Hydra cook in our merchandise manufacturing team who carefully removed the toxic glands in the nod area of the hydra and used the flesh of the legs, not the head or neck, just in case."

And to make you both feel more at ease, Yugao goes on to say the word.

"I have a small cut for tasting, if you don't mind. Would you like a taste? If you're worried, I'll poison you first."

When Yugao said that, he put a small cut of dried hydra meat into his mouth for tasting, chewed it and then swallowed it. The adventurers watched how it went, but when they saw Yugao as flat as it had been before they ate, they also mouthed the meat of the fearful hydra.

"... is that delicious?

"Oh, it's like I've thickened the taste of tri meat so much... yummy here"

Not only did they mean they were safe to eat, but they also seemed surprised by the unexpected deliciousness of Hydra's meat. You liked it a lot, not only did I try it, but I bought a kilo of hydra jerky.

After closing that day.

"Oh, yugao. Did you sell that hydra meat? Because it doesn't look good, I thought I'd soak it in a colorant."

"Yes, Asagao. Clearly, it was a gross shade that reduced my appetite, but when I tried recommending it no, it sold unexpectedly. No, it's something the world has strangers about. That one didn't seem to sell example string underwear and hole underwear. Couldn't the shades have been plain?

"That's possible. Now let's dye the rainbow color with the same design."

"I think it's good. And I came up with this while I was at work, isn't it novel that it's clear color underwear?

"It's worth considering. Then tell the manufacturing team the plan and have the prototype made."

Judgement in accurately perceiving what customers are looking for and a number of new products that come from flexible ideas one after another. They think that's the secret to commercial prosperity… but somehow the products they confidently recommend don't sell to Locke, and what they say is a lack of fun accounts for the majority of sales.

While tilting their necks at the consequences, they struggled today, tomorrow and beyond for further commercial prosperity according to their tastes and beliefs.
