489 Survey of orchards

Hmmm. The power of money is really amazing.

Oh, this is the magic tool that protects against insects and birds. Can you cover an entire orchard with just one of these?

Yes. Thats how weve adjusted it. and since its a magic tool made by human hands, the quality is guaranteed to be excellent.

Currently, me and Rokufa(Rokuko) were being led to the center of the orchard, to the magic tool control room.

Seriously, I feel like you can do anything with money; when I gave 5 silver coins to someone who looks like the manager, he immediately gives the permission to sightsee easily.

Im not sure if this is because the Holy Kingdom is too lenient or because of human greed either way, its fine.

By the way, I checked the area with magic vision, but I cannot be sure if this a part of the dungeon or not, partly because of the bird and insect repellent magic tools wide area of effect.

This is the magic tool that keeps the temperature constant.

Hoo.

And there it is, a magic tool with the same effect as a greenhouse!

The greenhouse mechanism itself is quite simple, it is not impossible to imitate, but in this world, it is a luxury because it has to be made entirely of glass.

Could it be that this place is really just an ordinary orchard, and this whole thing was just a misunderstanding and a waste of money?

As if they would love to make me think that way, though.

So, what do you want to buy, sir?

Hmm lets see, honey, which one and how much?

he asked. I am immediately telegraphing instructions to Rokuko using telepathy at a table in the reception room.

Five hundred melons! I want to eat so many melons Im going to throw up. Will you buy them for me?

Okay, Ill order them later through the Commercial Guild, but can you get me 500 ready?

For sure, but melons are not in season at the moment, so they will be expensive, and with that amount, the sum is quite

How many gold coins? 20? Or perhaps more? just tell me if thats not enough.

!! Oh, yes, yes. Dont worry, Im sure we can prepare it, sir.

I purposely ordered a quantity that is impossible to meet if you compare their greenhouse production capabilities. But he said he could prepare it, hmph.

Im not sure I can eat 20 million yen worth of melons, to be honest, and I feel like Im wasting my money.

yes, yes, though you will need to check with the commercial guild. About 15 gold coins should be enough.

is thats right. Good for you, Rokufa.

Yes! Thank you, my dear!

And then Rokufa kisses Narikin on the cheek. I didnt tell you to do that!

Oh, youre so red, dear.

um, ah, ahahah, Im glad you love it -haha, right!

Yes, indeed. Well, you are indeed a second-class citizen. You know how to spend your money for your wife.

It was blatant lip service, but I guess thats what you get when youre a customer with a big order.

Then make the arrangements.

Umm, because of the volume of the product, we have to harvest it after receiving the order

Then Id like to order and pay here. Can you deliver the order for me? I want to get it as soon as possible for my wife.

Haha, no problem. Ill make the arrangements as soon as possible!

Just for the record, will you guarantee to preserve the quality properly? I dont want you to sell me garbage product.

Dont worry about that. Youve seen the equipment in our orchard, right? Well deliver the best melons to meet your request.

Of course, during this exchange, I gave him a silver coin as a tip, bold use of money that lived up to the name Narikin. I was riding the momentum as if to as This is so cheap..

Thats right. Well, if you can deliver it right away, Ill give you a gold coin as a tip. How about it?

I put 16 gold coins on the table. I cant help but feel like Im throwing money around. I had spent so much money that I felt as if I had eaten poison, along with the plate. but as an ordinary citizen, this makes me want to throw up. {proverb, tln for explanation}

Oh, God. I dont know why Im spending so much money on it. If this turns out to be a mistake, I wont be able to face it.

Yes, there will be some back and forth, but considering your contract with the guild, it should be no problem at all! We will make immediate arrangements right now!

Wow, he just agreed to prepare 500 by today, the best Melon nonetheless.

When I looked earlier, there were only about five melons at most that were ready to be sold. Just. Wow.

Rokufa secretly opened the map, and we could see that most of the farmers were gathered in one place, and its not; its not the same as the melon field from earlier, is it? There must be something in that place, something like a dungeon where you can produce Melon as much as you like by spending DP.

If we sell the information to Haku-san, we can get our 16 gold coins back, right? Well, I dont care if I cant get the money back. Im not in that much need of money.

By the way, what are you going to do after buying 500 melons? I could make a lot of melon bread.

At this point, Rokufa pretended to be flirting with me and asked.

Theres no melon in melon bread.

What? What, theres no melon juice in it?

Well, some of them do. Should I use it to create melon soda? I could send it to Haku. I think Id get my money back if I did that.

Its hard to eat that much. Maybe we should give it to everyone.

Thats right. You can use the [storage] to preserve it. Im sure I can bring enough home with me.

I should not saying unnecessary things too much; I dont know if the wall here has ears. Though visually, I cannot see anyone.

If this whole place is a dungeon, they can use the monitor function to keep an eye on us whenever they want, or at least that what I would do.

If you cant eat it, we can hire an adventurer who can use [storage] to send it home. The servants will eat it.

Servants, ah, yes. Thats good. Thats good. There are a lot of kids in my house who eat a lot. Like the neighbors.

Oh, right. We can give it to them as a souvenir.

By servants, I dont mean Ichika and the others. It seems like my words have been misunderstood by Rokuko.

I mean, I can use Sotos dungeon as a means of transportation and storage area. If her space not enough, she can expand it by using her DP to add more room. Sotos [Storage] dungeon has a serious cheating performance.
