Thank you so much, m(__)m.

I hope you will continue to support me.

I would be really happy if you could leave ratings and bookmarks.

I've decided on the product: it's cassava.

I'll return to the Veriello Trading Company and plan my schedule. I probably won't be able to sleep for a while.

...After all, I just had a rough day yesterday...

Now, imagine the cassava as a large yam or a wild yam. It's quite big, with one piece weighing exactly 2 kg. When the cassava comes out of the SHOP, it should be about that size. A large basket full of cassava, enough to hold, would weigh about 20 kg.

Currently, the approved price is [Cassava (2 kg) = 1000 yen], so I'll add two more options.

[Burlap Bag of Cassava (10 kg) = 5000 yen]

[Burlap Bag of Cassava (20 kg) = 10,000 yen]

The burlap bag is a free service. That's great.

But is this price high or low?

When I checked with Cherina, it seems that food prices have skyrocketed since yesterday, so this is actually on the cheaper side. In that case, there's no problem.

If Cherina's trading company can mass-produce it, the price will stabilize even more. Otherwise, it would be a problem...

There's another reason I chose cassava. If more people start eating cassava now, it will be easier to introduce it in Veriello in the near future.

...Well, I don't expect to sell such a large amount, but a shrewd merchant might buy a certain amount.

A 30% markup on the selling price should be fine.

One piece of cassava would be 1300 yen. It's quite large, so whether it's expensive or cheap depends on the customer. If one person buys one, I can still make a 200 yen profit even with a 100 yen symbol as a bonus. If I can sell to 100 people, that's 20,000 yen. Cherina said she doesn't need a booth fee, so it's almost all profit. If I pay Yarrai 20,000 yen, it will be gone... but there's nothing I can do. I'll just have to hope for some lucky customers.

The rest of the preparations will have to be done tomorrow with the help of the person in charge. After all, I'll be relying on the SHOP.

By the way, I'll try to make some progress on the many tasks I've been putting off. One of them is organizing the containers. The containers are currently a mess because of the firearms inside.

Another one is the "sets" that keep getting added to the SHOP list.

Every time I change the contents of my luggage and put things in and out of the container, the sets keep increasing: "Set 1," "Set 2," "Set 3," and so on. I'll organize these today.

Actually, it's possible to change the names of the sets and delete them from the list. I thought I could just organize them later, but they've become a terrifying number.

The contents of the sets are displayed when you select them from the list. I carefully checked and deleted each one. Most of them were sets where the contents of the carry bag had been changed, but I found these sets.

[Set (500 ml water bottle) = 71 yen]

[Set (500 ml tea bottle) = 71 yen]

[Set (M4 magazine with 30 lethal rounds) = 199,800 yen]

[Set (M4 magazine with 30 rounds) = 31,800 yen]

[Set (SIG SAUER P229 magazine with 12 rounds) = 5,184 yen]

Oh, right. I stored them with the magazines loaded. Yeah. I'll rename each one and add them to the SHOP list for clarity. By the way, the P229 magazine has one less round to prevent jamming. It's a quick fix, but it works.

So, here are the corrected entries.

[500 ml water bottle = 71 yen]

[500 ml tea bottle = 71 yen]

[SIG SAUER P229 magazine with 12 rounds = 5,184 yen]

[M4 magazine with 30 rounds = 31,800 yen]

[M4 magazine with 30 lethal rounds = 199,800 yen]

I deleted the unnecessary sets. I've used up all the stun grenades, but I haven't purchased any more.

I've also added some new items.

[Disposable masks (60 pieces) = 838 yen]

[First aid kit (large) = 1,980 yen]

[Cephalosporin antibiotics (10 tablets × 5 sheets) = 11,200 yen]

[Roxoprofen pain reliever (12 tablets) = 648 yen]

Of course, I gave them to Cherina. I explained the usage of the antibiotics and pain relievers in detail before giving them to her. The instructions are also in the language of this world.

I've also upgraded the first aid kit using the set function.

I renamed the new set and added it to the SHOP list. The items marked with a ● are the new additions.

[Improved First Aid Kit = 31,188 yen]

●Threaded suturing needle (10 sets)

●Surgical gloves (20 pairs)

●Cephalosporin antibiotics (10 tablets × 5 sheets)

●Roxoprofen (12 tablets)

●First aid kit (large)

●Disposable masks (60 pieces)

> Elastic net bandage (finger size × 1, elbow size × 1)

> Elastic net bandage (arm/leg size × 1)

> Soft bandage 75mm wide

> Soft bandage 50mm wide

> Tape 12mm × 9m

> Cotton swabs 30 pieces

> Alcohol swabs 4cm × 4cm 12 pieces

> Disinfectant 500ml

> Sterile gauze (10 pieces)

> Triangle bandage (1 piece)

> Cooling sheet 5 pieces

> Cotton 5cm × 6cm 20g

> First aid bandages 100 pieces

> Disaster wet wipes (20 pieces)

> Pocket tissues (12 pieces)

> Digital thermometer

> Stainless steel scissors

> Tweezers (2 pieces)

If the Veriello Trading Company wants it, I've agreed to sell it at cost. I was asked to sell two sets on my way back today. I hope they can use it without drawing too much attention.

There's one more thing I organized. I've actually been doing this for a while, but I just didn't mention it.

Two medium-sized burlap bags contain the following items. Don't worry about the prices; they're just notes for myself.

> [Salt (1 kg) = 399 yen]

> [Pepper (100 g) = 720 yen]

> [All-purpose flour (1 kg) = 398 yen]

> [Breadcrumbs (100 g) = 95 yen]

> [Salad oil (1300 g) = 295 yen]

> [Tonkatsu sauce = 276 yen]

> [Sugar (1 kg) = 603 yen]

> [Tartar sauce (12g × 10) = 252 yen]

> [Cornstarch (375 g) = 157 yen]

> [Mirin (600 ml) = 360 yen]

> [Cooking sake (1000 ml) = 265 yen]

> [Grain vinegar (500 ml) = 116 yen]

> [Red pepper (1 kg) = 698 yen]

> [Ponzu (500 ml) = 700 yen]

> [Miso (750 g) = 285 yen]

> [Wasabi (tube) = 145 yen]

> [Kombu dashi (1 kg granules) = 1257 yen]

> [Katsuobushi dashi (1 kg granules) = 1040 yen]

> [Katsuobushi (4.5 g × 5 bags) = 190 yen]

> [Aonori = 331 yen]

The contents change every time I cook, but I want you to think of them as being in two bags. I delete the proliferating lists each time.

I also made another set.

[Candy Set (Small Burlap Bag) = 900 yen]

> Candy × 5

> Candy × 5

...Don't ask who it's for. The bag cost is mostly it... I'll just add more candy from time to time.

After much deliberation, I decided to buy a new rifle. I don't expect to be involved in such a situation again, but there might be another giant buffalo. There are also griffins, apparently. It's completely unknown how much I can handle with just a carbine... but a light sword would be overkill... But if I'm attacked by a buffalo again, I'll use it without hesitation. Yeah.

So, I bought various items, and my remaining balance changed. It decreased by about 258,618 yen.

Remaining balance: 4,482,543 yen.

I then had an idea and made a wish about the sets. And...

[Approved. From now on, sets will not be automatically created and will be manual only.]

Oh, it worked.

Now, sets won't increase every time the contents change.

So, I organized the SHOP list, and then I organized the containers. I used to stuff things into carry bags when the container slots were tight.

While organizing the containers, I noticed that the name of the original symbol I had from the beginning had been changed to [Original Symbol (God of Commerce Melhes)].

This is not displayed in the SHOP list.

I bought the [Symbol (God of Commerce Melhes) = 100 yen] from the list and compared it. Indeed, compared to the original, it was more neatly shaped and beautiful. The original, which had been handled a lot, was like night and day.

While I was at it, I bought the remaining 99 and a medium-sized burlap bag and put the 100 symbols together.

...Oops, I should have made the set first.

[Set of God of Commerce Melhes Symbols (100 in a medium burlap bag) = 10,000 yen]

...The burlap bag was free. I lost money on the bag.

Remaining balance: 4,472,543 yen.

So, here's the result of organizing the 55-container slots.

51

~ Empty Container

55

This is how it turned out, and I managed to secure 5 empty containers. On the other hand, I only managed to secure 5 slots, but I won't worry about that.

After finishing my pre-sleep smoke, I muttered to the symbol.

"Are you actually the god of pestilence?"

There are various theories, but one of them is that it's Rodan himself.

I would be overjoyed if you could leave bookmarks and ratings.

I'm also looking forward to your comments (comments are accepted in activity reports).
