HERE

Feeling overwhelmed by Maries high energy, I take a sip of the tea she brought me and take a moment to relax.

Oh, as always, the tea they serve here is delicious.

I take a few more sips of tea, soothing my tiredness, and then get to the main point.

I have a souvenir for Lambert-san. And also, a request

Saying that, I take out a vivid green skin from my item box.

Um, if I remember correctly, its the skin of a Hunter Green Anaconda.

Its a drop item from that dungeon.

I hadnt seen such a vibrant green skin in Lambert-sans shop, so I thought it would make a good souvenir.

Also, I want all of my slave employees to make small items out of it and use them as souvenirs.

M-M-Mukoda-sama!

For some reason, Lambert-san is desperately shouting my name.

Oh my

Marie-san makes a troubled face and gives a wry smile.

Mukoda-sama, I have to attend to the customers who are flocking to the store, so Ill excuse myself here.

Yes, please go ahead.

Marie-sans beauty products corner is always bustling. Moreover, the female customers there are really serious, asking various questions while selecting and buying products. The staff there (by the way, all female) seemed extremely busy.

However, contrary to my agreement, Lambert-san clings onto Marie-san, calling out Marie~ to stop her.

Lambert-san, dont be too possessive just because you dont want to be away from Marie-san. Being too clingy will only push her away.

Honestly, its killing my soul to see a couple so happy. (The cry of my heart)

You, please take good care of Mukoda-sama.

Saying that with a smile, Marie-san shakes off the clinging Lambert-san and leaves the room.

I look at Lambert-san, who is chubby and seems like a good person. Haah, even though hes a well-known merchant, he looks like someone who should be called uncle due to his age. Its strange that such a young and beautiful wife is with him.

Is it all about money? Is it money?

But I have money too.

Why dont I have any encounters?

Even in my previous world, I didnt have any encounters, so I dont think it would be a punishment to have encounters here.

What am I supposed to do? Mukoda-sans naivety has reached such a point that I dont even know how to communicate with him anymore. (Muttering)

Hm? Lambert-san, did you say something?

I didnt hear what you said because I was thinking about complaining to Lambert-san.

Oh, its nothing. Sigh

No, no, whats with that final sigh?

Im the one who wants to sigh here.

Mukoda-san.

Yes?

I cant accept this skin, you know.

Huh? Why not? I brought it as a souvenir and I also have a request

When I say that, Lambert-san looks at me seriously.

Mukoda-san, are you aware? This Hunter Green Anaconda skin is not something that can be casually given as a souvenir. It is a highly valuable item, and it was sold for nearly 1000 gold coins at an auction held in the capital last year.

1000 gold coins?

Yes. And thats even with many scratches on it. I partic.i.p.ated in the auction last year, so I saw it with my own eyes.

Many scratches

I look closely at the Hunter Green Anaconda skin that I took out.

There arent any scratches on this skin, right?

You can see it, right? This skin doesnt have a single scratch and its in a very beautiful condition, so its worth at least more than 1000 gold coins.

Well, um

I understand what you want to say.

But for me, this skin doesnt have much practical value.

I would have to sell it, but Feru and the others are already earning so much money, so Im not really in need of it right now.

Its such a beautiful color, and I thought it would be a perfect souvenir for Lambert-san

Listen, Mukoda-san. Im not shameless enough to accept something like this as a souvenir.

But I also have a request

While looking at Lambert-san, who is lecturing me, I try to resist a little.

Sigh Is this request of yours worth as much as this skin?

Well, um

Mukoda-san.

Um, well, I thought I could have small items made from this skin as a souvenir for everyone in my group

Sigh

Lambert-san, hold on a second.

Do you really need to sigh and shake your head like that?

Everyone You mean the slaves in your group, right?

Yes. They are all important employees of mine.

We wouldnt be able to travel freely like this if it werent for everyone in my group.

Because they are here, I can feel at ease and go to various places.

They are truly indispensable personnel for me.

Its only someone like Mukoda-san who would think of giving small items made from Hunter Green Anaconda skin as souvenirs to slaves Hahaha.

Lambert-san, please dont say things like that with a dry laugh

Thats why I really want to ask you to make those small items.

Sigh I understand. Ill take the job. And let us buy the remaining skin from you as well. Its a rare item like Hunter Green Anaconda skin that we rarely come across. Let us acquire it. Hahahaha.

Lambert-san, are you giving up?

After that, there was some back and forth between Lambert-san, who said he would offer 1200 gold coins for the Hunter Green Anaconda skin, and me, who insisted on a lower price since we should deduct the cost of making the small items. In the end, we settled on my proposal of 600 gold coins after deducting the skin for the small items and the labor fee. Or rather, I pushed for it.

However, Lambert-san still seems unsatisfied.

Are you really okay with this price?

As the seller, Im saying its fine, so its fine!

I wont back down on this.

I brought it as a souvenir, but now Im going to end up taking the gold coins back. Please understand my situation.

Its not cool, you know.

Anyway, lets move on to talking about the small items!

So, what I want is to have wallets made from this skin. Id like to request that. And also

I explained to Lambert-san what I had in mind.

In this world, only wealthy people have leather wallets like the ones sold in this shop. Ordinary adventurers and townspeople just carry their coins in sack-like bags or fold them in cloth bags.

Thats how everyone in our group used to carry their money too.

Honestly, I thought that was a bit well, not ideal. So I decided to make wallets as souvenirs, and I wanted them to be practical.

You see, the wallets here have b.u.t.ton or belt closures, and its a ha.s.sle to take out or put in coins. It might not seem like a big deal once you get used to it, but honestly, I havent been using the wallet I bought here much.

So I thought, wouldnt a frogmouth wallet be handy?

Open it with a snap, close it with a snap.

I think a frogmouth wallet would be perfect for carrying coins.

Thats why Ive been trying to explain the concept of a frogmouth wallet to Lambert-san, but its not quite getting through.

Well, lets see Ill draw a picture to explain.

From my Item Box, I took out the paper, ink bottle, and quill pen that I obtained out of curiosity before.

I drew a crude picture on the rough, low-quality paper.

So, this metal part opens and closes like this.

I see, I see. The part at the top here is the key to the opening and closing mechanism. I understand now, thanks to the picture. If its just this, even our craftsmen can handle it.

Ohh, it looks like a frogmouth wallet will work out fine.

According to Lambert-san, since its a small item, including the frogmouth metal part, it can be made in about three days.

As expected of Lambert-sans shop.

It was definitely the right choice to rely on them.

Now, I have a question. Could we also sell this frogmouth wallet in our store?

Well, thats fine.

Thank you! If my prediction is correct, these will sell well!

U-uh

From the sales, well give a portion back to you, Mukoda-san!

Huh?

Well then, Mukoda-san, Ill get back to work! Its going to be busy!

Oh, Lambert-san

He left.

Anyway, its just a frogmouth wallet. Oh well, I guess Ill head back too.

Feru and the others must be waiting eagerly.
