“Oi shut up”
“?? What’s wrong, Navi?”
“Nothing, I just voiced my retort to the usual small joke”
In a mansion located in the urban region of Japan, within one of the rooms, a goddess and her overseer exchanged some banters.
“Speaking of which, Navi, you are mama’s apostle right?”
“I am not an apostle. If I have to say, for the lack of better words, we have a relationship similar to a witch and her familiar”
“Then it’s a relationship one rank below the bond with an apostle? Did mama pick you up or something”
“I suppose you could say so”
“Fuun...but if mama was going to pick up an overseer, wouldn’t a cute boy or handsome man be a better option-”
“I do have human form, you know? My appearance is roughly of the same age as that apostle boy. The gender is also male---”
“Eh?! Hah!? That’s the first time I heard of it! Let me see, let me touch, let me snuggle!”
“I was warned by Alfrieda-sama that [If you show your human appearance to Fiona, you probably won’t last more than 3 days]”
“Ha?! Please do not underestimate me!! There is no way I could hold myself back in the first place”
“Please deny that. Enough, the main story will start now”
|■Baxia Kingdom. Capital Blanc|
“Uwa...”
People came and went unhurriedly, buildings with more than two floors were stretched along the streets, the whole road was paved with cobblestones, and there were various products lined up in front of the stores.
Alp let out a sigh due to his amazement at the first time seeing such scenery.
“Alp, is this your first time coming to Baxia Kingdom?”
Bart, who was sitting beside Alp inside the horse carriage, talked as he gazed at the scenery outside.
“Nope, last time I came here once with mom. But---that time we didn’t come until here this area”
“For direct trades, the market near the border is usually sufficient after all. Meanwhile, there are many more wealthy people in the capital. Try to sell your products at a high price”
---furthermore, the fact that there are many wealthy people here also means that there are many indentured workers being [hired] here-
Margot held back herself from saying the real reason as to why they came to the capital.
“Eh, but...”
“This is also where people in Baxia who earns 100 or 200 gold coins annually live. In fact, products that are too cheap won’t even enter their eyes. There is no guarantee that all our products will be sold out, so do your best to earn as much as possible. At the rate of 1 silver coin for 1 fruit, alright?”
“Y,yes”
|■Japan. Fiona’s room|
[Erm, I think there are around 1000 fruits in stock]
[Since we will sell everything at 1 silver per fruit, we’ll get 1000 silver coins which is around 200 gold coins?]
[Although they are neighbouring countries, there is a difference to their economic power. It’s the same whether it’s in the modern time or medieval age]
“Although we gave one box to Marquis Valencia, it should still be within the margin of error. With that, the Marquis will lower his share to 10% and after deducting the tax with various other expenses...Fiona-sama, are you listening?”
The overseer immediately retorted upon the sight of the goddess who was in a daze.
“Eh? O-of course, I was listening. It’s not like I’m thinking that it’s annoying when so many numbers suddenly came up.”
“...then please repeat what I was saying”
“E,errm you see, Navi was---”
“Yes, I was---”
“catching grasshopper---”
“catching grasshopper...catching grasshopper?!”
Towards the unexpected answer, Navi replied with a question instead.
“I’ll upload how you eat it to the website?”
“Why do I need to make a world debut of myself! Alfrieda-sama properly left high-class crunchy snacks for me!! Aahh enough! Anyway, that apostle, please watch over Alp-kun’s trading activities. Even you should be able to do that much, right?”
“Yosh! I will do my best today as well to stare at him so much it would drill a hole from his head to toes---”
“I said watch over, didn’t I? Oracle(line call) is connecting soon”
|■Baxia Kingdom. Capital Blanc|
|■Luxury Fruit Store [Passion]|
“Fuu, okay! Is that everything, milady?”
Without hiding his healthy tanned skin, the brown-skinned boy wiped his sweat as he turned to face Margot.
His age was somewhere around 13 or 14 years old. Compared to his peers, he seemed to be more experienced with manual work as he sported thin but muscular arms that extended out of his short-sleeved shirt.
“Good work, Simon. Anyway, about this boy---”
“Aah, it’s fine, it’s fine. I already know the big picture after reading the letter. Take care of him while milady goes for business talks, right. Alp, right? You can call me Simon. Let’s earn lots before milady returns!”
“Y,yes! Simon-san!”
|■Japan. Fiona’s room|
“Oo?! New conquer target(Offering)?! Nice~, this kind of energetic boy is also not bad dyufufu♪ If you put him together with Alp, both of them would make the other even more charming...♪”
“---earth to you, ah, should I connect to Alfrieda-sama instead? Yes, about Fiona-sama---”
The excited goddess and the overseer that’s faithful to its duties took their respective actions opposite of the other.
“E,et tu, Navi…! How dare you stand in front of my ambition yet again…!”
“Why are you talking like the last boss! And I will stop you no matter how many times if you really have such ambition!! The number of indentured workers(believers) that could be bought back depends on the amount of our earnings so please watch over them properly”
|■Baxia Kingdom. Capital Blanc|
|■Luxury Fruit Store [Passion]|
“Osh, that’s where Alp will do his sellings. Although it’s rather small, the items sold are luxurious after all. If we leave the stuff on display, people are going to see it. If the items displayed are sold, you can take more out from the ice house”
(Ice house: a natural freezer that stores ice during the winter)
“Amazing...there’s even an ice house here. Furthermore, even though he’s more or less the same age as me, he is so well-informed of the shop and products---”
As Alp and Simon set up the store, they naturally broke the ice as if the two were brothers.
“Well, I’m the heir of this store after all. Currently, the only employee of this store is the owner’s only son, though. Anyway, how much are you planning to sell them roughly?”
“According to Margot-san, it should be sold [at the rate of 1 fruit for 1 silver coin]...
Including the higher grade fruits, I want more people to be able to eat the fruits. So with the same pricing in Fraul Kingdom, 3 fruits for 1 silver coin---”
Contrary to Alp’s enthusiasm and his bright expression, Simon sighed heavily.
“--- those kinds of cheap stuff, nobody would buy it here. We are running a [store that sells luxurious products] here, alright?”
In front of the shocked Alp, he continued to speak as he ruffled his short hair.
“I feel bad for the fruits raised with great care by you Alp....but the customers coming here do not care about the taste or quality at all. What they want is the status that comes from [I bought this expensive product]. Although, of course there are some [eccentric] ones that would actually buy for the taste too. Milady said 1 piece for 1 silver coin, didn’t she? That’s the correct choice in my opinion”
“Yes...”
“If you plan to do business in Baxia Kingdom, you need to properly think about this before doing any trading. If you still want to sell [cheap products] no matter what---
I won’t sell it even if it’s milady’s request. Because it will hurt the brand of the shop. Understand? At the very least make it 1 piece for 1 silver coin”
“.....”

|■Inside Granola House’s horse carriage|
“---he’s probably being baptized by [this country] around now”
“...you knew this would happen, didn’t you?”
Heavy atmosphere drifted between Bartlett and Margot as two of them dropped their heads as if they had accepted the outcome.
“I believe in Fiona-sama but…As long as she’s restricted with [can’t interfere with agreements between humans] condition, I believe expecting too much from her would be cruel. Also, with the current relationship between Fraul Kingdom and Baxia Kingdom, it’s not possible to close the gap in national power within one night. From now onwards, whether we want it or not...we have no choice but to trade with Baxia Kingdom.
If that’s the case...”
“If that’s the case...it’s better to adapt to it early---
...seems like I have forced the role that nobody wants to others”
“If you feel sorry about that, let’s just say you owe me one. You will return this favor one day, right?”
“---even if you have to suffer, it won’t be free, huh”
Both of them smiled bitterly---
As the atmosphere surrounding the carriage seemed to soften a little---
The horse carriage continued to run.

Alp, sat in the allocated space, brooding about the previous matter.
He also did trades with harvests from his orchard so he understood to a certain extent about [harshness of being a merchant].
However--- what Simon had said was too different from his values and what his mother taught.
“---What, should I do...Fiona-sama...”
|■Japan. Fiona’s room|
“Look, it’s your turn goddess. Give some advice”
“Fufufu...do you think I can immediately think of something when he suddenly comes for my help?”
“You have been putting on airs up until here, you know.
---Then, are you sure you want to stay silent?”
“I-it can’t be helped huh…
In the first place! [Anchor] also has its share of responsibility for this mess…
L-let’s ask for their opinions”
“You are getting better at making excuses…
However, this time, let’s ask them with these conditions included---
- Refrain from giving ideas to quit and go back or any other extreme ideas
- Refrain from giving ideas such as increasing the price by 100 times
- Refrain from giving any lewd or adult advice (←This is very important)”
“[Anchor], 300! The [Enquiry] is [Selling methods]!
---Now, show me the way…!!”
>>300
[Food tasting]
“Hm?”
“Hmm?”
[Luxury goods! (Free)]
[Underground mart lolololol]
