In a World Filled with Deserts, an Old Man with Electronic Money

"The husband of the Garcia Chamber of Commerce is enough to write a letter of introduction. 500 million dollars."

"Yeah, I don't mind."

"What about the specs?

"I'll leave it to you. You're a ship professional, aren't you? I think there are a lot of long-distance voyages, so I think we should focus on robustness and maintainability."

"Leave it to me. And the bike that you guys connected to at work. I'll buy it with magic power and wood fees. I'll give you a quote later."

"I see. Is this a bad job....."

"Well done for an amateur, but from our professional point of view, it's a bad job."

"I understand."

"I'm sorry, but we're eating here. But you use good boards and nails... from other countries?

"Yes"

The owner of the shipyard introduced by the owner of the Garcia Chamber of Commerce was a stubborn grandfather, but his skill seemed good.

Otherwise, there's no way the biggest merchant in Shipland would recommend it, so I'll leave the ship to you.

Appreciating our carpentry work and praising the good quality of the wood and nails we bought in Netshopping, I think the arms are authentic.

"This is a small boat with three to five passengers and with residential space in mind. It is assumed to operate with multiple magic boxes."

Even if it's new, it takes too long to make it from scratch.

The correct answer was to select a ship that was somewhat completed, and then finally equip it and hand it over.

They say this is completely ordered production, as large ships are not built with a run-off.

Wow, I like the new boat.

I see.

The ship on which Label and Mu were on was quite old because it was a gift from that brother.

The boat I used for escape was also used for escape on large scheduled flights, and it seems like it is time to replace it, so it was also old.

I can't complain because it's originally free, but when I actually look at the ship, I think the new ship is a good one.

Well then, please.

Five days from now.

"I see. This is the price."

Sorry about that.

We took the ship out of the magic box and gave it to Grandpa, and we left the shipyard behind.

"I'm not familiar with these things, but won't they be discounted?

As soon as I left the shipyard, the label asked me a question.

At these times, I thought it would be normal for a merchant to negotiate prices.

"There are discounts that you can and shouldn't discount. That shipyard is a good shipyard for the Garcia Chamber of Commerce. Maybe I was forced to interrupt by a letter of referral, even though it was a situation where other jobs were packed."

"Can't we negotiate a discount like that?"

"I wrote a letter of referral, because it would shame the head of the Garcia Chamber of Commerce."

Besides, poor ship construction and performance are life-threatening.

I know if you're a shipowner who wants to get a boat somehow cheaper without money, but we don't have no money, and it's probably dangerous to cheat here.

"Even in his dealings with the Garcia Chamber of Commerce, Lord Tallow didn't tell me to raise the price of sugar."

"In this case, it's better not to say."

It's a big deal for expensive white sugar, so I'm sure you'll want to buy me more, but if we don't have a deal with the Garcia Chamber here, I don't think another Chamber will pay more than the Garcia Chamber.

It would be impossible to buy everything.

If we sell as much white sugar to more than one chamber of commerce, of course we stand out.

Criminals may be targeting money, and if they stand out, they may be able to spot the Kingdom of Bart.

"So you only dealt with the biggest merchant in Shipland?"

"He is a big merchant who has grown up so far and is not a good fit for the kingdom of Bart because of the Oasis character of this Shipland. This is a virtually independent territory, even in the Kingdom of Bart."

While we are good customers, he will not question us about who we are, nor will he be as bad as we would be to rival merchants.

Because I don't want to lose a delicious business route because of other merchants.

The shipyard will be introduced to you again on that ship.

"I was just doing business, but how long have you been reading it? Mr. Tallow, you're an adult."

"Maybe that's just what I think."

But it shouldn't be that far from the real answer.

"By the way, where do you want to stay? The shipyard will take the ship."

With the new ship in hand, the two-legged ship is ready for take-off.

They say it only pays for magical power and part of the wood.

We want to save money on the mooring station, so we're supposed to get it out of here, and we'll be staying at this shipyard until the new shipyard is outfitted.

Do you want a place to stay?

I have money anyway.

Even though it was a saving, there were plenty of Idolk with gold labels and Mu defeating the Beast, so I didn't need that much.

When we leave this town, we'll convert it into an Idolk.

"So why don't you stay in a luxury hotel?

Sometimes I wonder.

That's right.

That's why I wanted to stay in the most luxurious accommodation in this town, but there were people who spoke to us like that.

"Excuse me. I am a member of the Garcia Chamber of Commerce. I'm glad your order for the boat was successfully completed. The Lord says you should stay in the Mansion until the boat is ready."

"I didn't expect the Garcia Chamber of Commerce in the world to take care of new sailors like us. It's an honor."

"No, the employer wants to have a good relationship with a promising business partner in the future. I hope you'll accept my invitation."

"Of course. Thank you for accepting the invitation."

"(Mr. Tallow, that's bold.)"

"(You might jump into a sandbag's nest)"

"(It's okay. What kind of treats are we going to have?

If the lord of the Garcia Chamber of Commerce were such an idiot, the Garcia Chamber of Commerce would have fallen from the first chamber in Shipland long ago.

Luxury lodging is fine, but it's an invitation from the biggest merchant in town.

I think we'll have fun at best.

It's been a long time since you slept in the building.
