Chapter 635 What should we sell?



Chapter 635 What should we sell?

[Eon's POV: ]

[[ "But why do you want me to do that all of a sudden?" ]]

[[ "Just do it lol. I have this feeling that these two will have something. He had a reaction when I said she might have been with some other man, and it was definitely subconscious so there's definitely something in there. I don't know about her since she always has this difficult-to-read expression but she is very blunt. And I love it about her." ]]

[[ "Ughhhh… Uriel. I know we are an engaged couple and all and also that you want more of our friends to come together if possible but this request is quite burdensome you know? She would definitely not like what we are doing if she finds out." ]]

[[ "It's if she finds out, right? Hehehe. Just do it darling~. Please, please, please~. Just pull the seat beside him for her and let her decide if she wants to sit with him or not. It would be up to her. 

There will be a ship if she doesn't mind and tries to solve whatever problems they have between them over this good dinner and I have heard she loves spaghetti and meatballs since her mother used to make her some since she was young so, just do it~. Leave the rest to fate." ]]

[[ "Uriel this is all on you alright? I'm not part of any of this." ]]

[[ "Kehehehehehe. But you will exploit this relationship if something does bloom, won't you? You damn bastard~." ]]

She was cussing at me in that cheerful voice again. She really is a strange one when it comes to ships and stuff.

'But in the first place, wasn't there some kind of discord going on between Princess Luna and Captain Alpha? And now he's attracted to her? Was she wrong with her judgment or something or am I looking at another one of Captain Alpha's elaborate plans to achieve his goals.'

It was difficult to understand what was going on between these two but if there really was the possibility of some unique kind of relationship between these two, then, I wouldn't actually mind having these two be together.

'It would be a direct relationship with one of the strongest powers of the north and a unique entity from some other world.'

Captain Alpha and Princess Luna… well, the enemies-to-friends trope isn't anything rare in this day and age so the possibility always exists out there.

"It was a little difficult but we managed to secure the one exactly as per your descriptions and illustrations. I have checked it myself and it will be delivered to the location you gave us by morning."

"I could not thank you enough Lady Luna. I was in desperate need of this material."

"I have said it before but just Luna is fine-"

"Not when doing business, miss. Business and personal affairs should always be separate as my mother has taught me."

"Well, fine then. I will not ask you about why you would ever need something of such quantity and specific descriptions in such a short time however, we will forever be thankful for the things you have provided us. Father has personally told me to thank you and maintain a positive relationship for any future business."

"Of course. I wish for the same. Let this relationship bloom like the plum blossoms of the spring."

"Of course."

I shook her hand right before stepping on the staircase and removing the silence spell I had put around us. And then, we climbed up, and the table with everyone looking at us came into the picture.

"Oh~. Look who we finally have here~!"

Uriel exclaimed with a joyous expression while holding her fork covered with spaghetti high.

"Manners lady. Manners."

It was bad behavior but I know there was no way she would change doing these weird things while eating even if I yelled at her. I have given up by this point.

So, I could only shake my head and sigh helplessly.

"Excuse me, Luna."

I pulled out the chair right next to Captain Alpha for her and though she gave him a glaring, icy, annoyed look, she did not say anything and sat down… which made my evil fiancée smirk with a pleased smile.

'Haaa…'

I needed a specific thing for my outskirt house, our future home, and the only place I knew I could find something that specific was the northern end which fell under the kingdom of [Lutherop], the land where the renowned Sebastian family had ruled for centuries.

I needed it urgently so I had asked lady Luna about it a few days ago and, no, Rein doesn't know anything about this so she was in complete darkness.

This will be a surprise for her so, it's better if she doesn't know.

'I traded quite a lot of resources with them in exchange for this specific thing but if it is as she has mentioned, then all those resources were well spent.'

And besides, there was this Cold War going on between Lutherop and three nearby territories so, coincidentally, they see me as some kind of savior now. Which is very good, I'm not gonna lie, it's an unforeseen boon to me to have such a powerful family being indebted to me.

"Should I serve you or will you be serving yourself as usual."

"The usual."

Luna was a person of few words in general however, it did not mean she couldn't speak as well as any of us present here.

She just didn't like speaking unnecessarily, we all knew that fact by now.

And, just as we were talking earlier, she is very much capable of speaking as normally as any of us. And she has this unique sweet voice that Uriel adores, so, hearing her a lot is always a fun thing in her eyes.

"Here."

I slid the pots with the food to her side and also the plates that already had her usual favorite dishes prepared.

"Thank you."

She didn't seem to be bothered by Captain Alpha's presence and he was fine as well. Though there was some kind of awkward silence between them that Uriel was finding funny, the two of them looked pretty well.

'Was it just a false call? Hmmm… we will have to observe more.'

"Anyway, everyone. As I was saying, what should we sell in the shop? We have to decide it by the end of this dinner so that I can start preparation and we can do the grand opening by the next week or so-"

"Woah woah woah. Next week? Won't you need a complete renovation and stuff to finish setting up this shop if you are going to change it into a suitable one?"

Captain Alpha asked a very… simple question. A very simple one that anyone present here most certainly might have asked at one point in their lives, however, it was different for all of us since we knew what wealth could actually do for any of us.

"Do you want some more sauce, Captain Alpha?"

Everyone was looking at him with a surprised look, telling him something like 'You don't know her, do you?' Or 'poor captain Alpha. He must have had quite a difficult life' or something along those lines.

There was pity in their eyes and they were all, in unison, nodding with a bitter smile of realization that not everyone in this world is as privileged as them or as knowledgeable as them to understand the true power of wealth.

"Hmmm… y-yes please."

He himself was surprised by how everyone was so casual about this whole one-week thing that he was feeling embarrassed for the first time since he had walked into this place.

Only now was this poor person realizing that we all knew what money and proper resources, which included connections and background, could make possible on this 'island of magic's Wealth'.

One could practically change an entire district into something else if they owned it and wished for the changes. 

This was an island of magic and wisdom, as well as wealth and diverse resources.

Changing a small shop like this one into something we wanted? It was a day's work, less if the personnel were good at their job.

Med decided to open up the shop a week later only because we would need that much time before the production of the items, the test trials, the surveys, and the promotional marketing.

She was a professional who already had famous shops on this island solely belonging to her. So, setting up a new one with the new budget allocated to her by her family was more of a thing of fun than anything else.

"O… k? Any suggestions?"

Med looked at everyone present at the dining table, and since there were a good amount of people with diverse experiences of life and humans and society and cultures, she was expecting some good answers. However, what she got was a complete mess…

"Why not go with the artifacts? I have heard there are some new things that some of the creators on the island want to sell so, getting them and mass-producing would be an easy task, right?"

Of course not, Carla. Even with all of the resources and connections of our family, it took Mom and me more than a month just to mass-produce three of my inventions. 

There's no way we could create enough within a week to fill up an entire two-story building.

"How about magic items?"

Nope, little Alf. The island is already chock full of them.

"Let's sell artworks and antiques~. We can import things from the ground and target the nobles present on the island~. It would be real profitable~."

Well, darling, that's a good idea but, the nobles only make up thirty percent of the island's total population.

Most of them are either adventurers, scholars, or mages of different affiliations. Or bureaucrats that have no interest in such things. So nope. That's not gonna work here.

"How about opening a magic perfume shop? You aren't going to do anything like food or a bookstore so, might as well go with something that might be sold to anyone.

Do you know about the special perfumes that could heal wounds and restore Mana? I don't think they are much popular on this island."

The reason they aren't popular here, Captain Alpha, is because of the strange nature of this island's winds.

Those perfumes only last a few minutes here and become useless after a few hours if it's even a little exposed so the people here mostly just avoid it.

'Haaaa…'

All of their suggestions were something Med must have scratched already so there was no good suggestion popping up, and, I wanted to save what was on my mind for the last part, so I was also waiting for something good… which, unexpectedly, came from Titania.

"How about selling mass-produced Mana clothes? Like, not the ones that are too expensive but, something that can actually be made in bulk… not that I know if it is possible or not. But, this just popped into my mind when I saw everyone's clothes here."

And this, was our eureka moment.
