Let's Manage The Tower
(18) Sweets
There are more than ten hot spring inns and hotels in Kusatsu's tourist destinations.
In addition, there are shops that sell souvenirs as a matter of course, making it a really good place to visit.
In addition, it is easily accessible through the transfer gate on the fifth floor of the Amamiya Tower, making it a popular spot for a short break away from everyday life.
Not all members of the general family can take frequent holidays, but occasional holidays are used to get to Kusatsu.
This is becoming even the greatest luxury for the residents of the fifth floor.
Of course, these aren't the only people who come to visit Kusatsu.
People with money and power are also used as a place to enjoy leisure with peace of mind.
In addition, they even have a status of visiting various places in Kusatsu's hot springs.
Anyway, spending time in the hot springs at Kusatsu has become known as a place to enjoy regardless of status.
The samurai who came to such a junk enjoyed walking around the junk, forgetting about the noise in the inn yesterday.
Merchant Guild members can't miss the many places where people come to immerse themselves in the hot springs, and there are shops with a variety of hobbies besides souvenir shops.
So you can crush the day enough just by looking around those shops.
For the first time in a long time, the samurai who are all on holiday are cooling down the shop because it is a corner.
When you go out of town, it's not just inside the inn, it's crowded with guests staying in other hotels and inns.
For this reason, the examiners are using the disguise previously made (?) walking while wearing a mask.
Thanks to this, I am not attracted to the beauty of the female team and I am not in a situation where I am naughty.
However, even if it becomes less conspicuous on the face, it doesn't hide even the shape of the body, so it certainly attracts attention.
Without worrying about that, the examiners looked around to see what kind of shop there was.
"--Hmm, I haven't been here for a while, but things have changed."
That's right.
Sylvia hammered at the profoundly impressive examiner.
When the examiner came to Kusatsu before, there was no shop with such hobbies.
There are even places where you can easily enjoy things like games, so it can be said that it is very different for Kaiseki.
Incidentally, these games were not originally conceived by Kaiseki, but were born because they allowed for leisure time.
Some of them are like throwing a wheel, so I feel nostalgic for the examiner.
The first thing I think about is how to entertain customers who come to Kusatsu (drop money), so I have even set up a shop that I could not have imagined for an exam aid.
Just looking around those shops, the examiners enjoyed themselves enough.
Among other things, Florian's attention was to a souvenir shop.
"That's... what?
"What, a souvenir shop? Looks like there's a lot of sweets in there.
When the examiner answered with a strange face, Floria looked a little scratched.
"I know it's confectionery. But does that make one store?
When Floria heard that again, the examiner nodded with a convincing face.
As far as examinations are concerned, confectionery specialty stores are not an unusual form, but it was strange to Florian that they could only be used as a shop.
"I think that's the balance between demand and supply. Guests who come here are looking for memories. Even if you only sell sweets, you can do enough."
Customers who come to Kusatsu are looking for luxury in the first place.
For this reason, the purse string is loose even for confectionery that I don't usually buy.
Besides, there are many shops besides souvenir shops, which can be done because they are targeting such customers.
Florian was convinced for a moment by the explanation of the examiner, but immediately reconsidered.
"But are all the sweets there not sweet? If I was using sugar, it wouldn't be very expensive, but I think it would be too expensive.
"Oh, I see. Florian didn't know yet."
I didn't know where it was caught, but Floria's dialogue finally revealed the source of the question.
Shreyne, who was walking a little behind him, said to Floria to take over the words of the examiner.
"In the last few years, Iglides have been successful in producing sugar. It can also be used as a souvenir."
Oh, my God.
No wonder Floria looked a little surprised she didn't even know she was starting to produce sugar.
"And this is also because Iglid is increasing the number of people without changing."
In fact, Iglid has grown in numbers from underground.
That's how we grow a variety of products with surplus staff.
Sugar is one of them.
Of course, just because sugar is produced doesn't mean that there is enough mass production to turn around.
For this reason, sweet shop souvenirs in Kusatsu shops have become one of the popular products.
"Do you know that sugar is used? If so, would merchants be targeting the route?
Shreyn nodded bitterly at Florian's doubts.
"I'm definitely being targeted. But for now, only vampires or iglids sell sugar. Besides, even if I bought it from the store, I can't handle a lot of it."
I see.
Floria nodded convincingly to Shreyn's explanation.
I'm not holding back the distribution of sugar, I'm simply turning around the amount I use in the kusa, and I'm not catching up with other production.
Sweet confectionery is becoming a specialty of Kusatsu, so no matter how expensive it is, Shreyne is not willing to turn around.
Floria could agree to that, so she was convinced.
Incidentally, we know that it can be sold, so we don't have the idea of increasing sugar production and reducing others.
If we succeed in mass-producing sugar on other continents or elsewhere in the Central Continent, it will have an impact on the economy of the country.
It is only natural that Schlein should not rely solely on sugar.
