Otherworld Dagashi Shop Yahagi

Chapter 120: Luganda Tavern

The Golden Fleece was sold for 5 million rims.

The price was a little higher than the market price, so I discussed it with Zonder and we decided to sell it at this price.

.

Since the other party was Prime Minister Essel, the delivery of the cash went smoothly.

The money was paid in my presence and the shoulder-pole stall was once again hidden between space and time.

In addition to the Golden Fleece, I also gave the Prime Minister the Mobile Forces that I sell on consignment.

Three hundred boxes of them.

I also have him a hundred boxes of Mani 4WDs, which I preemptively set aside.

The Prime Minister was overjoyed about this and promised to promote these toys in the Capital.

[I have no doubt that these will be a hit in high society.]

[High society?]

Even though I’m a lord now, I’ve never been a part of that circle.

[That’s right. Nowadays, there’s no playroom in famous salons that don’t have a Mobile Force arena. I’m sure they’ll start setting up Mani 4WD race courses in the near future.]

[Huh......]

So the big guys play MF and Mani 4WDs in their luxurious playrooms huh......

It really feels surreal, but people can do whatever they want.

I’m already busy enough handling my dagashi shop to care about all those things.

[I’d appreciate it if you keep bringing them to me on a regular basis.]

[I’ll be back in about 2 months.]

[I’d like you to come again next month if possible. We will cover your travel expenses, so please.]

The items I had handed to Prime Minister Essel for consignment would apparently quickly run out.

[I’m planning to hold another Mobile Force tournament in the Royal Capital in the near future. This time, I decided that I would be the one hosting it.]

[A tournament personally hosted by the Prime Minister?]

[Umu, I’m planning to set up a really grand tournament, and I’m going to call it the Essel Super Cup.]

If sales increase, it will increase my level as well.

Thus, I promised to cooperate fully with the tournament.

And so, after all these worthwhile business transactions, we departed from the Royal Capital.

We arrived in Luganda in the evening, so our return coincided with the return of the adventurers who had finished their work.

We had only been away for about 2 weeks, but it felt like a long time.

Everyone was happy to see us, but the one with the most intense welcome among everyone was Merle.

[WELCOME BAAAAAAAAAAACK!]

[W- What’s the matter, Merle? You don’t need to cry that much, right?]

[But it was Yuusuke-san who turned my body like this!]

[Wha?]

That’s a very dangerous statement she’s making. Thereupon, Mira explained with a wry smile.

[While Yuusuke-san isn’t here, Merle couldn’t pull the lottery, so she’s having withdrawal symptoms. Playing with scratch cards and 10-rim chocolates has already been part of Merle’s routine.]

Was the dagashi I was selling really that dangerous?

[Lottery...... lottery...... Gonna win the lottery......]

Merle reaches out her trembling hands to me.

[Alright. I’ll immediately set up the stall! I’ve also got a new product added to the shelves.]

Product name: Gettamen!

Description: Bite-sized ramen-like munchies. Includes a lottery for a tradeable voucher (worth 100 rims, 50 rims, 20 rims, 10 rims). When eaten, even though it possesses low power, a single beam (Light-Attribute Magic) can be shot from the mouth!]

Price: 10 rims

[Gettamen...... One...... give me one......]

Out of breath, Merle handed me a 10-rim copper coin.

[That beam is dangerous, so be careful.]

The power of the low-power beam seems to be weaker than a stun gun and could only be an actual threat to monsters.

However, it’s still dangerous, so I warned her about it.

[Ah, the trembling stopped.]

As soon as I handed over the product, Merle regained the vitality on her face.

Oi, oi......

Despite the worried looks everyone’s sending her way, Merle turned over the dagashi’s seal with vigor.

[Ei, the trade voucher...... Ugaahhh, it’s a miss!!!]

And it’s a miss yet again!

Her losing in the lottery is really just as usual that made me keenly realize that I was back in Luganda.

In the midst of her irritation, Merle fired her beam at Garm’s butt, and an angered Garm bought a gettamen and retaliated with a beam of his own. Meanwhile, the easygoing Mira also bought a gettamen and with her usual lottery luck, won a 100 rim voucher, making Merle envious, but overall, Luganda was peaceful.

[Cheers!]

The adventurers raised their ceramic mugs high in the air, raising cheers of joy.

Ale was poured into their stomachs one after another.

In a shack with barely any walls, some sat on barrel chairs, while others stood and drank from their cups.

This is the first establishment built in Luganda, and the only tavern here so far, “Golden Sheep”.

It was opened by Zonder, who used the money from the sale of the Golden Fleece he acquired to open this store.

Since it was opening today, the store was overflowing with people and cheerful voices could be heard everywhere.

Zonder bought a donkey and a wagon with the 5 million rims he had acquired, stocked up on alcohol in the nearest village, and opened this store.

So far, all he has is ale and distilled liquor called bakusuchi, but the adventurers in Luganda are already happy just to have a tavern.

[Congratulations, Zonder. I’m also happy having an establishment here in Luganda. Here’s an opening gift.]

As I thought they would be good snacks alongside alcohol, I gave him a pot of curry crackers and squid skewers.

[Thank you for this, Yahagi-san. I’ll serve them at the shop right away. Please enjoy yourself tonight.]

While we were talking, orders were still coming in, and Zonder hurriedly poured out alcohol for them.

The ale in my mouth was a little sour, but I didn’t care and downed it into two or three gulps.

I was happy to see Luganda’s gradual development.

[You look happy, Yuusuke.]

Michelle, who was sitting next to me, was also tilting her mug, a blush visible on her cheek.

[Yes, very happy.]

It’s nice to have a drink outside with Michelle.

Come to think of it, this is the first time we’ve drank since leaving the Capital.

[Let’s come back together again.]

[Unnn!]

We downed the remaining ale from our small mugs and called out to Zonder.

[Zonder, I’d like a refill!]

[Yeah!]

The Golden Sheep was full of people until late night that day.
