Netooku Otoko no Tanoshii Isekai Boueki (WN)

Episode 68: Rock salt smells like Himalayan

Join Deanna and explain the situation.

Earlier, the feeling is that I don't seem to have to take Deanna to deal with it, but should I show Deanna the impact for once? No, the other side is already open to negotiation, and don't you need to cut any more unnecessary bills?

Deanna's on standby this time.

And we headed straight to the rock salt shop a little further away.

"Hello ~"

"Oh, the brother with the elf? You're out of salt already?

I've been walking with Deanna a lot, and lately, the perception that I'm taking (being taken) my brother, Master Elf, is spreading to the citizens of Eliche.

You all like elves too much.

"No, it was a different matter today. I got it a little before. Do you still have it?

The Rock Salt Store is a store that sells salt and rock salt in the same way.

In this country, where salt is close to free, it is a delicate place as a commodity. However, as far as rock salt is concerned, unlike regular salt that can be dug from the salt lake trail, it seems pricey because it has to be mined one day. Well, it's a penny price like 3el or 5el for a big chunk of cobusi......

Now, what are you selling at that rock salt store... so that's rock salt - but it mainly deals with salt to be used other than for edible use.

Of course I sell salt to eat, but other than that...

Rock salt blocks. Cute rock salt blocks in red or pink. It cuts out into a clean rectangle and looks good when I use it for building materials like a brick or as an interior.

Rock salt candles. They carve rock salt in hollow, and when you put candles in them and light them up, the light spreads and they look good.

Rock salt bath salt. Bathing with crushed rock salt in a candy ball-size tub makes me feel refreshed with improved cold, bumpy skin, and a negative ionic effect.

Rock salt tile. If you tile rock salt cut out to the same size, it plays a role in shaleotsu space production.

Rock salt saucer. Various dishes made of rock salt. The salt dissolves naturally, so they don't need condiments and are delicious to eat BBQ or something.

Rock salt sauna construction. They use rock salt blocks and tiles to construct the sauna. Far infrared effect, refreshes body and mind and is super handsome. but expensive. I want to make it into a mansion.

And then there are places like rock salt for horses usually or salt specialties that sell grated gold for rock salt or something. It's a decent street shop and seems to be thriving.

I also buy rock salt chunks for horses in this rock salt shop and salt for use in mansions and parents' homes.

If you buy it in Japan, you can get the natural salt for free, so it seems silly to buy it normally.

My aim was to show it to you when you came shopping before.

This store only sells bright white items as edible rock salt, and colored items are used for horses, decorations, baths, and other applications.

But there was something that I couldn't use for any of those applications, and I had trouble handling it, so I had it shown to me before.

At that time, I only went home a little bit because it was unnecessary, and I was allowed to use it at the mansion...

"You got that? I can't believe you still want that one."

When he offered to want a large quantity, the shopkeeper made his eyes black and white. Anyway, it's not worth it. It's like it's loaded in the back of a store.

The owner of the rock salt shop goes out to dig rock salt with his disciple and brings back a pile of golimaccio. Even if the Warcraft comes out, it is just a thing that will just meet with a tsuruhashi and rock salt plate BBQ on the spot.

So the product is lubricated and I am not in any more trouble than purposefully selling weird stuff.

She also said that she could afford to use the example product this time, so she got the necessary number.

"So, this - you're free to use it, right?

"I don't care how you use that. Instead, I can't take responsibility for eating and whatever it takes."

"No problem. Thank you."

◇ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◇

"Hey, sorry about that. Sorry about that."

I carefully placed the product I received from the rock salt shop in a linen wipe bag I bought from another store, and prepared about 100 of them.

Deanna hasn't been brought in after all.

Deanna is a cage. You have to choose to use dokuro. I don't need to show you anything weird.

Oh, the weird thing is about this double scam and the incendiary.

"Oh, oh. That was late. Is Master Elf... not here?

"Yeah, I also looked for eagles, but I don't see if they left within one day... In the meantime, I only brought the product, but if you don't trust me, I have to give it up this time..."

"Show me the thing"

"Yes, let's do that. It just arrived from the inside."

Unstring the hemp wipes bag and remove the bumps in a flattering motion.

"Hmm, what the hell!? Black...... rock salt?

"Yes, it is black rock salt that can be picked in Mount Himalayas, a sanctuary in the elves"

Yes. Because it's an ominous color, it wasn't for sale, and it was dumped behind a rock salt shop... The bad image of black is a common world perception, both here and there.

By the way, "Mount Himalaya" comes naturally from Mount Himalaya on Earth.

I've been thinking since I saw that black rock salt at the rock salt store, my sister used to buy "Himalayan Black Salt" on the street that was similar to the product... because it was pretty much the same thing. It's the same even if you actually eat it... I don't know what the difference is in the taste of salt.

"Surely I've never seen salt of this color... When it comes to salt, the price is set for white or redness at best."

"Yes, I was surprised when I first saw the eagle."

"... precious salt to be picked in the elves..."

"I don't know if I can match the lace that your elf has knitted, but I am proud to say that this item is also valuable. Well, I just took 100 of them, what do you do?

"Right..."

Right...... you're not. Negotiations themselves should already be in place, but incendiaries who show the most troubling bare gestures. Well, I'm not going to make any concessions, and if you don't respond to the exchange, just call Deanna and the gendarmerie and make it a public execution.

"Okay, I can't help it, I'll trade you!

I can't help it.

"Thank you. So this and the exchange... So, please don't sell this product in Eliche because it is exclusively sold by eagles in Eliche."

"Oh, I know. I know."

That is how the negotiations were concluded.

The incendiary retreated from Eliche with a chuckle as he quickly cleaned up the store. It's quite actionable and quite good.

I dusted my face nasty and said, "Do you want to go all the way to Marishera..., or should I go back to the Empire once and sell it to the nobles... Hehe, I didn't know I had to come to the country like this to open, but I thought the baking turned around too... I'm getting lucky......" I hear you whining.

If you put it in person, it would be exactly something like Hyotan to Coma. Until now, I've been an Inchecker, but maybe I'm thinking about using the pipes I could make money with "real" permanently.

Speaking of which, I was able to get a lot of races safely, and I just went back to the store and inspected the product.

The making is not so fine, but there will still be no technique like knitting a lace by machine, and naturally it will be hand knitted. All the colors are white or beige (maybe they're just UV burning by sunlight) and the material is hemp.

I'm not sure if it's good or bad because I only have about the edge of a curtain about racing...... Polyester curtains are lace in the first place, but they won't be lace...... Even the material is polyester, not hemp...

Ma, should I give the excess for one yen at an online auction?

It's gonna be a fair price, maybe. I don't care because I got it for free anyway.

"Oh? It's not a race. What's the matter, so many things?"

Mr. Rebecca came to see me this afternoon and peeked at me with interest at what I was inspecting.

Rebecca generally stops by when she comes for Eliche. It's the usual pattern to play until closing time afterwards and go home together.

Looks like a shopping stop today, as usual.

He seems intrigued by the race I got. Good luck or something...?

"I got it from something a little hyun. Would you like one, Mr. Rebecca? I'll give you some, if you like."

"Hmm? Will you? Hey,... well, give me a handkerchief"

A handkerchief. I don't care how many handkerchiefs you have.

Speaking of which, in Europe and America, sulking your nose is the worst manners violation. But the pocket tissue isn't popular, so they all do zubizuba on handkerchiefs. The handkerchief I used naturally stored it in my pocket even after I used it and used it as many times as I could......

Wow, Engacho, that's one of the most unfortunate habits of Japanese sensation!

"So, uh, this is all I have. Why do you like it? They're all subtly different patterns, but this thing is somewhat elaborate. I've used it a few times and it seems like it's going to break down."

"Yeah. If Zillow picks it out, any of it's fine."

"Sounds practical then, is this a good idea? I don't think it's very practical to have an elaborate design."

Hand over a handkerchief that is just light embellished on the edge.

"Yes, I received it. Huff, thanks."

Mr. Rebecca receives with strange pleasure and makes sure to hold the handkerchief in his chest.

If this is what makes you happy, it's about as much as it takes. You're really taking care of Mr. Rebecca.

… although it is subtle to say that the product obtained from the ink vendor. But kid, if you hate me, you hate me, and I'm not guilty of anything.

"But you've found the race so well. Eliche is rare because she has few nobles."

Mr Rebecca says.

Rare......? That may indeed be the case. I'm a flea market, too. I've been looking around a lot, but I don't remember seeing any races.

"So it can actually be something of this value...?

But... then it is necessary for the ink vendor to sell the waste that is inside the elves...

Rare but worthless... you mean? You're starting to want to see weird nazonazos.

"Is it worth it, or was it? There seemed to be a time when luxury was popular among the imperial nobles. I've been obsolete since I was a kid. Look, there's this kind of decorative lace. At the time, they were stylish to put that on their sleeves and collars. Now I'm gonna laugh."

"Oh, you know..."

An endemic item is thrown away and sold. Is that what racing is all about?

I guess what that vendor brought all the way to Eliche was an estimate that it would be easy to sell if people didn't know what the epidemic was like in Imperial City. But that's just anxiety, so I even added value to what's inside the elves... I guess.

"Ever since the fashion left, it seems that the nobility also gave it to maids and servants and threw it away, but to the common man, it would be like a symbol of noble luxury, wouldn't it? That's why the common man never appreciated it, and it just went obsolete."

I see.

Well, at the time that the ink vendor was selling it, I thought it was worth a guess, so no problem.

The reason Marina wanted it is a mystery, but I'm sure she had some ideas for him.

"So this is not particularly valuable either - Well, I wasn't even going to sell it this way, so it's no problem."

"Um, I don't know. Doesn't that mean it's not worth it?

"Really?

"The race you wear as a fashion is obsolete, but the race itself isn't gone. Doesn't it usually sell as a decoration? Handkerchiefs are cute to see now. This also looks good for rugs and stuff"

Think while giving Mr. Rebecca a a race that's going to be a rug, if you'll excuse me.

The race was fashionable among the aristocrats of the Imperial capital, which I guess made the price quite good with handmade craftsmanship jobs. The aristocrats had fun dressing up in expensive laces made by artisans.

But fashion is fashionable, and racing is obsolete.

Doing so would now be the realization that obsolete items = dull, and the nobles would have disposed of the race this way, as in the case of the Earth.

Mr. Rebecca says that he was giving way to maids and servants, so I guess maids and servants were using them themselves or selling them to add to their household income. But the common people also said the race did not take root. If so, the price should have gradually collapsed and eventually become closer to throwing and selling.

The example incendiary must have rallied those races and sold them in a city away from the imperial capital with one mouthful of mouth or some fashionably neglected village.

But epidemics are revivals...... Even if not, racing should be universal away from fashion. The modern man knows that very well.

... then you can go out to the Empire once and buy it in bulk...? The races here are not so good, but some of them will be more handy. If the epidemic leaves and the state of the total skan, you should be able to get it cheap......

"Mr. Rebecca, how long does the Empire take from here?

"Huh? The Empire is far away. Yikes? I wonder if it would take about two or three weeks in the carriage. Are you going?"

"Not so much. Exactly. Can't you do that now? It's far away."

4 to 6 weeks round trip...... This one is 6 days a week, by the way, so 24-36 round-trip. It's not half the distance.

It feels very "I'm going to go". Then it's extremely difficult. A little international travel. It seems more meaningful to even go to Deanna's home than to make a little money that far away.

... A delicate hand sewn lace is a somewhat appetite-stimulating item...

"If you're going, I'll show you around. Okay? Exactly. Not now because 'Human Tsuzuki' is imminent, but any time after that."

Mr. Rebecca offers to accompany me by the cheeks.

Mr. Rebecca said he also knew some aristocrats in Imperial Capital, and as long as he could count on you to follow him. Before that, I don't care what you think about us traveling alone to places that take more than half a month by carriage.

I want you to imagine......, suddenly they give me a carriage and say "Transcontinental Challenge! Good luck!" they send me out...... That's probably what it looks like as an image. Well, this is a world of warcraft, monsters, bandits, bandits, everything. If it were a guidebook (* NOTE I would die) or something, it wouldn't be weird. Johannesburg is a bright blue world, too.

Well, I didn't actually go, so it's just within my imagination of what kind of journey it is. Actually, it's not that dangerous. There's no chance. The example incendiary is also a pedestrian, but you must act alone.

"Thank you. I'd love to then."

"Yes, I've been deceived."

That's what I say. I do my hands on my chest and smile nicely. The garnet ring I gave you is brilliant with Mr. Rebecca's chest.

Speaking of which, I thought you said we should go with you to Lake Helipa. The store has settled down a lot thanks to Etowa, and I wonder if we can all go on a purple trip when we're done with the example human tsuki.

Oh, I forgot to go to the temple.... now, okay?

◇ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◇

I stopped by the guild on my way home from work and summoned Mr. Toby.

"It's been a while. Hey, I discovered a hell of a con man today. You can control it with your guild, right? I think I'm going to do it again in other cities because I think I've already withdrawn from Eliche."

"Oh, the Chamber of Commerce (Guild) also controls those guys..., can you tell me more?

"Yeah, the bump is this...... what a high price for a single piece of silver coin to sell this black rock salt as a dish from" Inside the Elves ". I ran away when I disputed that it was fake with Deanna in the elf, but if it looked like that, I should do the same thing in other cities anyway. Deanna also confirms it's fake, so there's no doubt about it. What, Deanna?

"Definitely, so - Shh."

"Well, black rock salt. Is there someone buying salt or something? I don't even think there's anyone who can fool me like this."

"I contacted the salt shop and they usually discard it because of its ominous colors, but that's why they don't touch people's eyes, and people they don't know may assume it's rarely worth it. In the meantime, I made sure I got what was in the salt shop."

"Heh... Some people work such seco scams...... No, will the faithful be fooled...? Do you know how many?

"Yeah, that was a threesome (...). Each fled in a different direction. I don't know if we've joined up somewhere or if we'll just do it jointly at Eliche and work scams elsewhere again each"

"A threesome... If so, there could be a considerably larger con group. All right, I'll leave a cautionary recommendation for the guilds in the surrounding cities. Can I keep this rock salt as evidence?

"Go ahead. Thank you very much."

"Oh, thank you for your cooperation"

- Then I heard a man was caught in a nearby city trying to sell that rock salt for a high price as it was from inside the elf.

The man was fooled. He had argued that he was innocent, but it was true that he was trying to sell just rock salt as an item in the elf, so he was kept in labor slavery. He's a first-time offender. He just stamped a slave's mark about a contract for a year.

At first, they also searched for the rest of the crooks who allegedly gave the man rock salt, but they never found it in the end. He successfully sold the rock salt that was left over from the man and supposedly saddled it to the next merchandise......

He said it was the last time a man said it.

"... you mean they crushed me for doing the same thing I did... You mean you tricked me into selling it out at the end because the touch made rock salt dangerous as a commodity? Hehe, I really got my grill turned too... Yes, Mr. Gendarmerie, they're supposed to do a damned thing in the race. At least they'll float if they catch him too, please."

But they never found anyone to sell the lace as something inside the elf.
