Episode 18: Trading Goods

I just got back to my room and realized there was. Speaking of which, I'm not taking a bath!

You hugged Miriam in that condition!? Wow. It's getting embarrassing now.

Miriam smelled good, but me, didn't she smell?

"Oh, you know. Miriam."

"Yes, what is it?

"Because of this...... no, is this country not in the habit of taking a bath or something?

"Is it a bath? Is it about nobility to come in? In Takashi's country, was it different?

Seriously!? Without a bath!? No... it's the first time I've come to this world and it's breaking my heart. Wouldn't you be able to handle it......

"My country had plenty of water. Everyone was taking a bath."

"It was a good country, wasn't it? Everyone here wipes their bodies with a wet cloth if they get dirty."

"Can't you figure it out? Something like this, stones and iron that people are going to put in, no, even trees are good! Can't you get that kind of thing ready?

"Um, if you ask a lumberjack, he's going to be able to make about a wooden bath, but I can't prepare hot water"

Sure looks like it would be hard to prepare hundreds of litres of hot water just for a bath.

But there, look, it's a magical world. I guess I can do it with a little magic.

"Anything else?

"When it comes to preparing hot water, is it about a kettle for cooking? But even if you boil water, it's hot and heavy enough to hold it."

Cauldron... Goemon bath! All right, let's do that.

"Okay! Let's buy a kettle for that cookout!

"Yeah!? It's not everywhere!

"I can handle it. All right, let's go talk to the armor store! Immediately!"

"It's too late for the night, and we'll do it tomorrow, right? Besides, it's already falling."

I don't get it. The sun goes down? That's outrageous! A bath is something that takes a day's tiredness in the evening.

"Look, Miriam. I'll be there."

"Yeah!? Am I going too!?

"Of course you do. We're all in this together. Here! The sun's going down!

That's what I say. I walk out the door and move early enough.

"I'm already... an unreadable person of real behavior"

Miriam complains, but she follows me properly.

I arrived at the martial arts store after losing it.

"Oh, this is Takashi-sama. What happened at this hour?

"Uh, I need to talk to you about something"

Shit, I wasn't thinking anything. What should I do?

You said this guy would give you a discount or something if he came up with an idea. I was wondering if you could come up with some ideas and prepare a cauldron for that.

"I have a lot of ideas, but I don't know what kind of things I can profit from, so I've been thinking about asking for hope."

"Oh! Is that true!? Now it's a corner opportunity, and I'll bring the others from the store! Wait a minute!

Miriam is going to look at this one with Zito's eyes. More than that, the owner's got someone out there, right? I'm not so willing to take care of it!?

"... what are you thinking this time?

"Well, a lot."

Until the owner returns, Miriam will take care of what he's up to, but I'll take care of it. I'll tell him.

"Thank you for waiting! Sorry for the bummer. It's a corner, so I thought I'd come up with an opinion."

You were quick to return unexpectedly. I brought my grandfather and sister, later a guy like a young chimp.

"Uh, gentlemen. This one is Takashi, who has devised a sign product for our martial arts store today. They can lend us wisdom for our business to thrive, so if you have any hopes, please tell us."

That's how I introduced myself and started doing wierd on my own. It's already a good time, so I wanted to make it quick.

Miriam told me each person while the four of them were talking, but that grandpa seems to be the blacksmith's shop owner.

I might have a cauldron. Or maybe they'll make it. This sounds good to expect.

After the introduction from Miriam and listening to the discussion between the four of us, we're apparently going to get our opinions together.

So Miriam snuck me in, but I decided to ask each of them to join the conversation.

"Eh, what kind of products do you handle in the store where you are now?

"Oops, I'm sorry about this. I'm the musketeer, this is the blacksmith, this is the tailor, this is the lumberjack."

Metal, cloth, wood? Think of the material alone and you're going to figure it out.

"With all this technology and material, you're going to be able to do anything."

"Right. I'm just getting my story together, can you listen to me?

"Yes, please"

The general story was heard with Miriam, but we decided to hear it from her in person with confirmation.

"Think about it in the long run, something that can be bought by 10,000 people at low prices. And if it breaks, I prefer to buy it again soon."

Can 10,000 people buy something at a low price... what about seasonal products or something? Japan is just in the rainy season.

"When I heard about the season, I remembered, is there a rainy season or something in this country?

"I do. It's time for the rainy season around here, and it's going to rain intermittently."

Even though it rains all year round, wouldn't it be a good item to use on a rainy day or something?

"I see. What do you do for a rainy day?

"I won't go outside as long as I can. Because it will get wet."

Is it good for indoor use, then?

Indoors...... there's a lot going on, but I knew you needed electricity indoors. It's on hold for now.

Then it's outdoors, right? Umbrellas and raincoats are chemical fibers used on rainy days, so they're not found in this world, are they?

"How do you prevent rain?

"Huh!? I normally weave cloth feathers......?

What are you talking about? This guy, he answered me with a face like that. Miriam is horny because she asked me what anyone knows.

"I flickered"

"Ho, is that true!?

"First of all, let me show you something."

That's how I paint an umbrella picture.

Wouldn't it be easy to create this and commercialize it soon?

"Ko, what is this? A stick in the triangle?

"This, right. Shall I name you Umbrella?"

"What do you use it for? Asked earlier, what does it have to do with rain?

"Yes, this is to keep people from getting wet in the rain"

That being said, I will now draw a drawing to make the patterned part and the shaft stick out of a cloth or skin that plays water, the bone is iron, and the umbrella part.

Finally, finish describing the umbrella while drawing a gimmick of opening and closing.

"" "" Ooh!

Four people raise their voices of surprise at the same time.

I didn't know you were going to be surprised so far about umbrellas......

"Uh, with this Umbrella, it's only available on rainy days, but isn't it available all year round?

"This is a groundbreaking item! Plus, if blacksmiths, lumberjacks, and tailors all make their own parts, they don't need that much of a budget!

The four of you look at my paintings, and I can't believe this much... what I'm saying. In the original world, I'd be glad to surprise you so far, even with items that are commonplace.

"This is going to be commercialized starting tomorrow! Gentlemen!"

"That's right. This is amazing. It can also be used for trade in the city!

"That's an amazing imagination! Pack your ideas quickly!

"That's right!

I never thought it would even swell to talk about trade. But if it's something we don't have in this world, we can export it.

Now, shall we move on to the rewards?

"I'm glad you're happy. So, back to the first consultation."

"It was! Excuse me. I'm so excited! So, what do you mean, talk to me? Say anything else! We will work with you as best we can!

Oh, this sounds like something you can expect.

"Uh, first, I want a big kettle. There's going to be a few people in there."

"Then there's the eagle. Make sure you use it."

Oh, today's purpose was accomplished quickly! Weapon after all.

"Thank you! And because it's good for oversold or cheap items, I'm looking for a single type of weapon"

"If it's a weapon, we can give you our stuff!

"If it's a magical weapon, it's on us!

"I'm sorry I'm the only one who doesn't do anything, so I can provide you with cloth and skin-based gear"

Oh, I only wanted a weapon, but it even came with protective gear! That's what I'm gonna tell you!

"Oh, is it good to get so much..."

"No, because the value of the item you suggested is immeasurable!

"Really? Then let me sweeten your words."

I was thinking about the extent to which it would be cheaper, but I didn't think I could get it for free. Keep thinking about it!

"Shall I dissolve you all once? I have to give Takashi-sama something to thank you for!

And the meeting opened.

Each one of them will prepare a thank you item at the store, so I will ask her to show her face once.
