Book 10: Chapter 37: Hero and Item Acquisition
Ah, er, thats
Please come in.
Akari was surprised when such alluring Half-Elf approached her. She was so mesmerized by the womans dazzling eyes that she unwittingly followed her lead and entered the room.
Please have a seat on this sofa. As for the drinksWould black tea be alright with you?
Y-Yes.
The sofa was so soft, so comfortable unlike any other seat she experienced before even in her former world.
Welcome to H &T Corporation. I am Tina, the general manager of this company.
P-Please to meet you, I am Akari.
Tina would come here once a week to give instructions to her subordinates.
Lucky for Akari, she visited the company at the perfect time when Tina was here.
So, Miss Akari, the reason why you have come all the way hereis not to assassinate me, I presume?
Eh!? N-No, youre mistaken!! I never thought of such a thing!!
I see. Thats a relief. You managed to go past the guards stationed on the second floor, so I was worried what to do if the assassin was someone as cute as you.
Guards?...Ah! So this place is really off limits?
Akari didnt realize that she had sneaked past the guard when she went to this place.
You must be truly unaware when you come here, judging from your reaction.
I-I apologize! I-I will leave right away!!
Its fine. Youre already here, so would you like to have a chat with me?
Akari stood up in a fluster and was about to leave the room, so Tina stopped her.
Tina already knew that Akari was about to approach the room thanks to her excellent magic detection ability.
To be precise, she already felt the presence of Akari, who was basically a walking lump of power, when the girl teleported to the kingdom of Glendale.
What is your purpose for coming here?
I-I want to sell my item, so I came here!
Akari gently put the slumbering Tet on the sofa, then she took out the seven items she made out of her bag that was slung on her shoulder.
Oh goodness, this is
W-What is it?
Tina seemed worried while checking the brooch, earrings and necklaces that Akari put on the table.
They are magnificent. These are Legend grade articles, and are even of the superior quality among such items. Not to mention there are seven of them.
Tina possessed the appraisal skill to gauge items that were up to <God> level.
L-Legend Grade!? I-Is that true!?
Yes. Im sure of it. Pardon, but will you be willing to sell all of these to my company?
By all means!
It was very pleasant proposal for Akari.
She was hoping that at least one of them would catch Tinas fancy, but she wanted all of them, apparently.
Thank you. By the way, they arent stolen goods, are they?
N-No! I made them myself!!
Akari stared straight into Tinas eyes while declaring that.
Although not as accurate as the Jewel of Truth, Tina had the ability to discern whether her opponent was telling the truth or not.
Tina knew that Akari was telling the truth in other words, these Legendary Items were truly crafted by the girl.
Then, how much do they cost?
Tina took out a translucent board similar to the status board out of nowhere, then she input some digits and showed it to Akari.
One, ten, hundredTh-th-thirty million!?
Yes. Please allow us to purchase them for thirty million spina apiece.
Eh? It- its not 30 million for everything, but per piece!?
Indeed. They are Legend grade articles, so its only natural that they cost that much. Moreover, all of them have the blessing of <Protection>, and that is truly great. They are extremely easy to use.
Tina realized that Akari didnt have any inkling about the worth of the items she brought with her, but the woman didnt attempt to haggle for it.
If you will sell all 7 of them, then we will pay you two hundred and ten million spina.
T-Two hundred
How about it? If you have a little time to spare, we can also test them for their efficacy, and it may be possible to increase the price further. The stated price of 30 million apiece is just based on the initial appraisal of their Legend grade based on the appearance.
So its possible that theyll become more expensive
Akari was a bit troubled, so she glanced at the peacefully sleeping Tet beside her.
Ahm, 200 million is fine. Ahm, but will it be possible to get a hundred thousand spina as cash?
Thats fine, butAre you really sure with the 200 million?
Yes. If I make new items again, can you please buy them, too?
I understand. Please allow us to purchase them is what I want to say, but our company will probably be the only one who could afford items of this class.
Tina made a white lie.
The largest merchant guilds in each country could afford these items if they would try hard enough.
However, Tina was afraid that Akari might be preyed upon by greedy merchants, and the woman wanted to purchase the items the girl crafted at the fair price.
It was too dangerous for Akari.
She was too naive, and she didnt understand the true value of the things in this world. She readily agreed to the price of the Legend grade items insisted by the woman even though it was the first time she met Tina.
If Tina had the slightest inclination to deceive Akari, she might have bought all seven pieces for 30 million spina and called it a day.
Still, Akari used the skills she obtained from the Goddess, and she got all the materials without absolutely no risk to her.
She spent around three hours adding the gems she got from Leaffa, but if she were to place a worth of 30 million on labor, then it wasnt a problem that the 7 pieces would be worth that much.
If there was a problem, then it would be the possibility of crushing the worth of items of this world.
Akari wasnt limited to creating Legend grade stuff; she could even create Ancient and World grade pieces at will.
She didnt know the value of these, naturally, so she would try to sell them at whatever price the buyer wanted to set.
If the other merchants found out that Akari could create any items at no risk and without any limit, then
Tinas white lie protected Akari and the worth of the items of his world.
Akari-sama, as for the remaining payment Do you have an H&T card?
H&T card? What is that, if I may ask?
Here.
Tina then took out the translucent board that she had just shown to Akari from inside her body.
This card is a bank book of sort, developed by the chairman of our company.
There were only two ways to keep money in this world: Either keep it as cash, or deposit it in guild cards.
The guild card had its own limitations; unless it was an S-rank card, money could only be deposited and withdrawn from the group of guilds where one was registered.
Moreover, the guild card was tangible unlike the status board, so there was the fear of losing it or breaking it.
Wont it be more convenient if we can also have money info on the status board?
Halt happened to hear Luna grumbling about it, so he came up with an idea.
He then created something with the help of his family.
It was the H&T card
Just like a status board, they could freely take it out or keep it, and just like the guild cards, people could deposit and withdraw money with it.
Naturally, this allowed shopping at the H&T company, and it also allowed receiving compensation from the guild.
Moreover, people could also use this for payments, deposits and withdrawals at terminals that had been installed by retailers that had been registered and affiliated with the H&T Corporation.
The status boards function had been created by the deities.
Halt and Luna analyzed the Divine Script that constructed the status board, and he created his own similar system based on that.
He informed the Creator God about this, of course.
And just like when he reported Yggdrasils case, he told Creator God that I created a new system leaving the poor deity clutching his head.
This is Akari-samas H&T card. I prepared the 100 thousand spina separately.
Thank you very much! I will bring the new items I crafted next time.
Akari received the H&T card with 200 million spina and the pouch of cash from Tina.
Afterward she gathered Tet, who was still sleeping, in her arms, thanked Tina, and left the H&T companys premises.
