Chapter 2 - 11 Negotiation with Yashisu in Commercial City, Einzhale

When I arrived in front of Yashisu slave trading house, a man I have met is there. Was it he thoughtless man who I met at this slave house?  Whatever. Seems like that thoughtless man is doing cleaning in front of store.
When he noticed me, he frowned and somehow making irritated face.

[What business do you have? Store is already closed. You know.] (Thoughtless man)

His attitude toward me is changed from how he was in past. As long as it is not his customer, does he communicate like this arrogantly?
If it is then customer will not come to you, you know.
Customer service is all about smile, an attitude, choice of words and cleanliness.

[ I come here to meet Yashisu personally. Did he here?] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[...... come inside. Hey, cat. Go call Yashisu-sama] (thoughtless man)
[Not a cat. Also, my job is the escort of the Lord. It should be you that need to call Yashisu] (Cat-eared girl)
[What did you say?! Hey! For slave like you is talking back me!] (thoughtless man)
[Ah... It’s fine. For the time being, I will go inside. Someone will go call him when I’m inside] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[cliché... Enter the innermost room and wait there.] (Thoughtless man)

With that thoughtless man (Yasuo) went in first, and then we also went in the store.
The cat-eared girl walks into the room where I have come last time while pulling out my hand.
When I sit into seat, a cat-eared girl put her head on my knees.
Apparently, she's appealing to me to pet her.

It can’t be help. I try to stroke her head and ears. Other door from this room has opened while I was petting her.

[Oh my my. Customer seem to have good relationship. Which business do you have with me for coming here at time like this?] (Yashisu)
[Yeah, this girl has helped me recently and I have to come here to thank about that. Don’t tell me you have already asleep?] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[No. Not yet. Even store is closed, there are many things need to do after all. It is still early for my sleeping time.] (Yashisu)
[Really? I’m sorry for interpreting your work.] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[No. No. Don’t mind on it. More than that, it seem helpful to you.] (Yashisu)
[Yeah. I was saved] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[That was good.... and then,] (Yashisu)

Yashisu glance to cat-eared girl.

[Can I also buy that girl?] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[Ahh.... We will talk about that later. For the time being, I want to talk with only you ...] (Yashisu)
[.... am I obstacle?] (Cat-eared girl)
[You are not obstacle but ... Whatever] (Yashisu)
[Are you sure with that?] (Cat-eared girl)
[Well, it is secret talk. Understand? You need to be quiet. Can you able to protect it?] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[Hmm... will protect... it’s fine.] (Cat-eared girl)
[Here. Here. You’re good girl] (Kazuki Shinomiya)

With that, I scratch her head and tail. Then, she closed her eyes as if she is comfortable from stroking.

[..... I’m supervised. Are you want to take her?] (Yashisu)
[hmm? This girl is friendly. Wh(at)-?] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[Hmm. It is because lord is lord after all. More than that, this is feel great.] (Cat-eared girl)

When I stroke her chin, she raises her face, and if it was her head she lowers her head, and raises her butt as high as she can when I stroke the base of her tail. She seems to like get stroke her tail.

[So that’s how it is ...... No. I should say as expected from customer, I guess. So then, what is the main reason you come here?] (Yashisu)

He is making smile face like a merchant who know what people thinking.
I'm sure Yashisu will notice it because I visited at this timing during the contest.

[Well, as you can see, it’s a business negotiation.] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[Ho. For alchemist like you is come here to talk me who a slave merchant about business? Well. Well. What kind of thing are you going to talk about?] (Yashisu)
[hmm, it is currently prototype through] (Kazuki Shinomiya)

The wording doesn't change, but it's better to see that I am no longer treated as a customer from now on since he called me without “sama”.
While thinking about that, I take out vibrator (small) from storage space.

[This is ...?] (Yashisu)

Hmm. Apparently, Yashisu seems to be not familiar with this product so it is not in market yet.
For the time being, I should consider I cleared first stage.

[This is a massage tool. I made it as a prototype, but it seemed to be effective, so I brought it.] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[Ho. Is that because I'm tired of work? Unfortunately, there are slaves who are good at massaging.] (Yashisu)
[That's right. But can you see how to use it for the time being?] (Kazuki Shinomiya)

Having said that I pour magic into magic stone.

[How about you try it while it is a chance?] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[Hmm ... does it hurt?] (Yashisu)
[There will be no pain. It will just surprise you a bit] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[Then, it’s fine.] (Yashisu)

While rolling around on a person's lap, I pressed my vibrator (small) against the shoulder of a cat-eared girl who was chasing my vibrator and twisted the switch.

[Nya Nya Nya! What is this?] (Cat-eared girl)

She seems to surprise on sudden vibrating at high speed.
It makes her stand up for a bit, and then she returns to original position.

[Ah, Ahh, Ahhahhahh-] (Cat-eared girl)

A cat-eared girl deliberately makes a voice as if she enjoys trembling as it moves.
Her eyes seem to be enjoying the feeling for the first time.

[Is it vibrating at high speed?] (Yashisu)
[That's right. Inside of this tool is a vibrating sphere after all.] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[But the vibrating sphere shouldn't vibrate so fast like this...] (Yashisu)
[There's a magic guide plate ... and if I say that, it won't be a business, so make it a secret] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[..... So, that’s it. This tool has many ways of use than what you said.] (Yashisu)

I laugh smirky at that words.
As I expected Yashisu. Do you notice on how this thing originally should use?
With this, I could say I breakthrough second stage.

[Do you mind if I burrow it for a bit?] (Yashisu)
[Oh of course. Take a closer look] (Kazuki Shinomiya)

I release the vibrator from cat-eared girl and hand it to Yashisu.

[Hmm ... It seems magical power is required. And if I can adjust the strength by turning the switch, the materials used in this is a vibrating sphere and a magic power guide plate as you said. However, it seems that it vibrates at high speed rather than the original frequency because it is specially assembled.] (Yashisu)
[That’s right. I’m surprised. For you to understand this in instant.] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[Eyes is life of merchant after all. Appraisal skills are at a high level, so I can understand it to some extent] (Yashisu)
[Such a convenient appraisal skill ... Then did you get know how the magic power guide plate assemble in this?] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[No. Not to that point. In the first place, it's quite difficult to unravel a tool created by complexed way of alchemy after all.] (Yashisu)

Then, it’s great.
With this, there is a chance for me to win.

[I see ... You brought interesting thing to me.] (Yashisu)
[It’s pleasure for me to get that from you.] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[And then, how much do you want me to buy it?] (Yashisu)
[40 million Nord] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[Is that a joke? Material cost is cheap but is technique used for this is a bit expensive?] (Yashisu)
[Of course, you’re right. For this tool, it is worth around 100,000 Nord for each.] (Kazuki Shinomiya)

Material cost for making this tool is 10,000 Nord.
He isn’t stupid to buy it for 40 million.

[No. If I sell it with my connection it will be 300,000 Nord. No. Depend on it use, I can make it from 500,000 to 1 million Nord.] (Yashisu)
[As I expected ... Then it's even better. And then, ] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[Do you want to introduce it to my acquaintances?] (Yashisu)
[No. No. No. What I want you to sell is this product’s right.] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[Rights, you say?] (Yashisu)
[That’s right. I will only sell this tool only to you. Tool price is 50,000 Nord, and I want you to buy this tool’s right for 40 million Nord.] (Kazuki Shinomiya)

At the moment, I'm the only one who knows how to mix this frequency.
The materials are easy to get and can be mass produced in days.
If I mass produce and sell this tool, I will get bad reputation but Yashisu who is already slave merchant would be right person.
That's why I wanted to come here today.

[I see. That’s how it is ... But I can’t buy it if you don’t make it. Right?] (Yashisu)
[How about I regularly deliver it to you? In case if it is urgently needed, I will deliver it.] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[Hmm. You haven’t owned a house yet. Right? There is no guarantee that you will live permanently in this town without owning a house.] (Yashisu)
[Well, of course. You will feel like that. I honestly think I want buy a house in this city, but I want to see other cities. I want to go place like port town, capital after all.] (Kazuki Shinomiya)

This city is a nice city.
There is a lot of good guys such as Reinrich, Aina, Solte and Yashisu.
But my slow life isn't just about this city.
I will able to find enjoyable things if I go out and eat seafood, or if there are local specialties or festivals.

[Still uncertain?] (Yashisu)
[I know. This transaction is not a direct exchange of goods. I can't force you to believe in me who you acquitted recently. That’s why] (Kazuki Shinomiya)

That’s right. It is simple to do.
What is Yashisu? He is slave merchant.

[It will be easy if you make me slave. In the form of debt slave. If that's the case, can you surely get the original amount?] (Kazuki Shinomiya)

There is no loss for us. First that is the lowest line, then we can make money after that.
For a credit, I will do it even I need become slave.
It doesn't matter that you are forced me to work.
In that way, I will get released sooner. If then, I will do whatever it takes.

[…… If other alchemist knows the composition of this at an early stage, it'll be over, you know?] (Yashisu)
[If then I will think to make on something else to make. Or by making accessories steady and pay off your debt. At that time, you can buy it at a price of 1/10 of the list price and make a contract.] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[… In the long run, it would be more profitable to sell the product yourself. Even though you have this contest, do you say that you have to throw away your own profit for this game?] (Yashisu)
[It has that much worth to do on it.] (Kazuki Shinomiya)

Money is great. With money, most things will work.
But there are things that can't get with just money.
There are a lot of things that can never get again.
For me, it is Wendy.

[...... Hah. I understood. I understand] (Yashisu)

Then, it getting near for him to accept deal.

[Then immediately get a slave contract] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[You’re wrong. Do you understand it? It will be contracted by trade transaction.] (Yashisu)
[No, but then how about trust? ...] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[Debt slaves cannot possess slaves in the first place. The first thing I have to do is sell the slave for debt repayment. But it will be me who buy Wendy. Doesn't it make sense then?] (Yashisu)

Is that so?
Can slave not have slaves?
I thought I will become a special slave, and force to do everything other than what is necessary for my life?

[.... Are you okay with this?] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[Even if you become a slave to me, I can make money only while you are a slave. In that case, it would be better to buy for 50,000 knoll all the time. Unlike you, money is my first priority after all. However, if you are betrayed, no matter how much you are a customer, I will not forgive you. Understand?] (Yashisu)
[I-I understand. I will do my best not to go into that situation…… ] (Kazuki Shinomiya)

It’s scary......
That thoughtless guys always see slaves like this?
For the first time, I saw the scary eyes of Yashisu, but it was more powerful than I expected.
But don't worry it's ok. I will properly keep my promise.

[Then with 40 million Nord] (Yashisu)
[Oh, wait. I wanted to ask before that, how much can this child buy?] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[What? Oh, yes. It is suddenly. This girl is a subordinate slave and her price is 10 million Nord. Unfortunately, you can’t buy her with free contract.] (Yashisu)
[Roger. And then, how much will you buy on this?] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[………… Yes. understood. I will purchase its rights for 50 million Nord.] (Yashisu)

Jesus. This is Yashisu-san who I know.
I'm glad you understand my intentions.
After reaching this far, I can’t say I will not sell.
But in that place, I will do my best!

[Then, I believe with this trade is deal. Ya. I was nervous.] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[What are you talking about ... It was totally unexpected. I thought you would do something, but I don't think you'll come to talk to me about the business.... Moreover, at the very end, you make me learn how to raise prices in such way.] (Yashisu)
[Well, I thought about this is just recently.] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[I will tell you that since transaction has been completed, but I will have you work properly. Therefore, please make 100 items first at 50,000 Nord prices... It will be 50 million Nord trade deal. Yeah. I will make profit at best from this.] (Yashisu)

Suddenly he ask me to make 100 items.... Yashisu will be willing to order until at least 1,000 items are made.

[Ah, don’t forget to add inscription of your name in it. This one doesn't seem to be had it, but if you don't add inscription into it, it will be seen as a free item.] (Yashisu
[Will there is different in tool having inscription or not?] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[Of course. New kind of thing are needed to be branded, and presented to the King, and only authorized to make them if officially recognized. Therefore, please make an inscription as soon as possible. And I would like to have 10 items urgently by the end of today. If you hurry, the owner of the tool shop will be awake. Since he just slept during the day so it should be okay. So, hurry up!] (Yashisu)
[W-What? Today? I mean from now on?] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[Of course!] (Yashisu)

You're kidding me……. that what I thought.
But he seems to be serious so I and the cat-eared girl ran to the tool store.
Then, I buy one piece of leather, one piece of cloth, and an empty magic stone, the magic guide plate and vibrating sphere as much as I can.
Furthermore, I requested the tool shop to order these two items.
It doesn't matter how much large it is, especially when on requesting for more than 50 vibrating spheres.
The owner who was closing the shop was initially in a bad mood, but he was overjoyed with sleepy face and lazy attitude because I bought a lot of things and placed an additional order.
