I Shall Survive Using Potions!

We stopped the old man and the girl who were going to leave after leaving 6 small silver coins.

(Oldham)We have paid for it. So, theres no problem, right!

Ah~ wellthey certainly did

(Oldham)Heard the price and paid the amount like what was said. Whats the problem with that? Does this store take an extra charge after the goods were sold?

(Kaoru, Francette & Roland)Ugh

Its a fair argument.

If its like this, lets drink tea here and calm down.

For the drink, Of course, its got to be Ceylon tea,shut up!

(Francette)But thats too

(Kaoru)No, its fine Fran.

I took control of the complaining Francette and

(Oldham)Of course, thats the way right? because this is a business transaction, right?

(Kaoru)Y-yeah, thats right. You understand, right?

The old man smiled broadly with somewhat an open-ended attitude towards me. If I remember correctly, he was saying that hes Oldham the healing sage.

(Kaoru)So, since it was the first offered amount, 6 small silver coins are fine for now.

However, when it comes to selling at such price, we will be sorry for the supplier, and if we sell it at the same price as before, we will be troubled when those who have heard the story barged in and said, sell this with the same price for me too. Thus, our shop will return back all the current stock of the plant materials and we have decided not to handle it from now on.

Therefore, for those who came to buy those goods, I will explain the circumstances in detail and let them leave.

(Oldham)Wha-!

Yeah, this will be good for me.

Like this, I could avoid becoming a big deal like a store that sell valuable materials, a store where you can buy the same goods at a cheaper price, and such. It was a great help that the old man came out with that kind of attitude. In any case, those goods cost zero for me, hence it didnt hurt my pocket.

(Oldman)Do you still have more?!

youre focusing on that? As expected, he will pay with six sacred silver coins?

Dont tell me, hes thinking of buying it with six small silver coins and will say you just said that the price was six small silver coins!

No way~ as expected, thats a no way~.

However, it was my terrible mistake because I have said that I have some stock. I need to find a good excuse somehow

E~to, alright! This can do!

(Kaoru)Of course, its not here now. Its stored properly in a place where temperature and humidity are being controlled. Excluding the seeds, the fruits and leaves are delicate, right?

Ordinary vegetables seeds and fruits are also stored there and we stocked various goods at once, hence, the expensive goods were perhaps mixed in with the general goods. In that case, a mistake was made by me who was stocking and sorting the goods, thought that those were normal goods and put the price carelessly due to having no knowledge of those goods beforehand. It was a failure

Well, I will also returned all of the goods from the storage place, thus I will not stock it anymore.

Alright, I had done a perfect explanation for the lack of stock in this store and also the reason for the absurd pricing too! With this, both me and this store are safe!

(Oldham)Wha T-then, a continued purchasing for those goods from now on is

(Kaoru)None. In the first place, if we knew that its the employees mistake and leave it as it is, the suppliers wont continue to make high-priced products transactions with us anymore, you know. In addition, Im afraid that we will suffer a huge deficit of gold coins when this problem happens again. We simply cannot do it.

To begin with, continuing to buy the goods even after this incident is something unbelievable. What? Did you think Im an idiot?

No, indeed, I was bored and being stupid at that time

(Oldham)Such thing! Its because I didnt think there are stock left for those goods, and restocking it moreover

(Kaoru)Thats why, you were trying to get advantage of other partys mistake and buying it at an amount close to 1/10,000 of the market price, true? Thus, it will be good for you because you bought it as you expected, true?

With only a small amount of money, the dealer will lost her irreplaceable assets, Im sure you already know that.

The old man looks quite flustered.

Well, the spread of information about theres a valuable item in this store is the biggest problem for me, hence, its necessary to clarify that those goods will never be sold here again.

It also doesnt mean that this old man cannot get what he had before. What was originally difficult to obtain was found here by chance. It wont be a problem if he cant get it, and even if he had a problem, it has nothing to do with me.

(Kaoru)And, you are?

I changed the topic and talked to the girl next to the old man who was watching the development of the conversation and is panicking because of suddenly being questioned.

(Taona)Eh, m-me? M-my name is Taona, Im the masters disciple

Disqualified. Why are you talking to this side with honorificswell, I dont care about that.

This old man introduced himself as Healing sage a while ago, so I assumed that she might have been someone who requested a medicine to him. But, because he said something like This person was impolite, as expected shes on that side, huh..

Okay, shes also guiltywait! Its not like she had done bad things. Its because shes a friend of this unpleasant healing sage old man.

(Kaoru)Well then, this conversation is now over

(Oldham)W-wait! The person who can compound the Long-lived Red Soil in this town is someone like me, you know! You too, losing a good customer is

(Kaoru)Good customer? The person who paid 6 small silver coins in his first visit? Moreover, the customer who made this store lost nearly 40 gold coins?

(Oldham)Uhno, but, in the future transactions

(Kaoru)Future? We wont handle plant materials any more, you know? Do you want to buy take-out food or daily necessities so that we can immediately earn 40 gold coins?

The healing sage old man sunk into silence from my words.

(Kaoru)Well then, its time for our customers departure. Francette, Emile, please escort them!

(Francette)Yes!

(Emile)Okay!

Francette and Emile replied with a serious look. They seem to be happy because they finally have an escort-like job after a long time.

But, you are only handling an exhausted old man and powerless girl, right? Its not so much of a knightly job, you know

Well, they are probably glad that they got a job ordered by me and were able to confirm their raison dtre. I know that Bell who was left out, has a face full of regrets, but.., you are also powerless like them, right?

Emile ignored the girl who is close to him and went to the old man. The reason being was there will probably be some resistance from the girl due to carelessly touching a young woman by using brute strength. Thats why, Francette went for the girl. Lets pray that she wont break any bones.

(Oldham)Let go! The talk is not over! You people, do you know who I am

The resisting old man and the girl who is obediently following after the dragged old man without being touched by Francette, Taona.

Phew, Im tired

However, thanks to the other partys attitude, I could deceive them from my mistake of selling something strange at a strange price. With this, the existence of that three-piece set of mysterious plants is now gone.

Good, good.

and, what is Long-lived Red Soil anyway?
