Chapter 1542 Omen ?

Chris-san asked me to explain more about the products, but I thought it would be easier if she actually saw the actual products, so I took out three different types of teacups from my magic box and put them on the table.

Incidentally, the designs and shades are different. Nebula and Illness-san are making them as a hobby, so there’s no point in mass-producing the same ones. However, due to the properties of the teacups, it seems that they gathered them in a set of four, so when I sell them, I plan to sell them as a unit.

[I can’t say for sure whether it will sell well at a festival stall or not, but don’t you think they’re well-made?]

[……Indeed. They’re such great teacups that make me want to alleviate the pain in my head and stomach. I see…… So this is your brand mark huh.]

While checking the teacup, Chris-san also checked the three lined-up mountains design mark I mentioned earlier. That brand mark isn’t quite emphasized in the teacups, engraved under the cups.

[……Miyama-sama isn’t involved in the production of these, right?]

[That’s right. The production was completely done by Nebula and Illness-san.]

[……W- What should be done about these? I- I’m not sure…… Miyama-sama didn’t directly make them, but they’re marked with Miyama-sama’s brand…… I can’t predict how the others will move…… Incidentally, Miyama-sama, there are those accessories made from Dragon King-sama’s scales, but do you plan to sell them as branded products as well?]

[No, I don’t. This time would just be a matter of selling the leftovers because it would be a waste to throw them away, and even if we do sell them, it will probably be in a flea market format like this time.]

We don’t have enough to sell on a regular basis. These would just be sold for the purpose of disposing of surplus things that Nebula and Illness-san made that aren’t made use in my house and Lilia-san’s mansion.

And so, I didn’t want to raise the price too much, and after consulting with Nebula, we thought of setting the price at 100R…… which is about 10,000 Japanese yen.

It may be a little expensive to sell them at a festival stall, but if they don’t sell, it doesn’t really matter much to me.

When I told Chris-san about this though…… She was holding her head in her hands. Then, after a moment of silence…… She looked at me with a rather astounded expression on her face.

[……Please set the price at least ten times that amount. Even when multiplied by that much, it’s still too cheap…… Also, please make sure to limit the number of purchases per person. There’s no guarantee that there won’t be people who would want to buy it all up……]

[I see, I hadn’t thought about anyone thinking of hoarding these. It would certainly be better to have a variety of people buying these items…… Errr, I will discuss the prices with Nebula and Amel-san again.]

[That would be great.]

Even though the quality is good, we kept the price low because in the end, they were made by an amateur like Nebula. Well, Nebula’s tea cups are amazing, so I think they are worth 100 times the price I was initially thinking considering their quality, so as Chris-san said, let’s reconsider the price.

[Do you also have samples for the other products your stall will be handling? If it’s possible, I’d like to know them as much as I can……]

[Even though we have magic boxes, there’s the stall space limit, so we don’t have that many…… Ahh, speaking of which, Amel-san said that she would sell something like a brooch modeled after a feather.]

[Ahh, those are traditional accessories of the Wingeds. They’re simple accessories that are often sold at stalls held by them. I see, so you’re also arranging things that are typical of the Wingeds.]

[I’ve seen a few of them…… They’re easy to make, so I’ve promised Amel-san to make them with her next time.]

[……………………]

Hearing what I said, Chris-san looked blankly at me, stiffening in place. The expression on her face seemed to be a mixture of melancholy, despair, and a variety of other emotions.

[……U- Ummm, Chris-san?]

[I’m alright. Yes, I’m alright…… I’m just despairing a little bit about a future I don’t want to imagine.]

[That doesn’t sound alright to me!]

[……I- I- I- Is that so…… T- There are also…… accessories whose production Miyama-sama would be involved in…… My body feels shivers, and my stomach is aching. I think I understand now how Duchess Lilia feels.]

[N- No, even if you say I’m involved in their production…… Amel-san was the one preparing those materials, so I will just be combining them and not processing them, you know?]

[……I- I see…… I- Indeed, if it’s just that, then perhaps……]

Chris let out a relieved sigh with a somewhat hopeful look on her face but……

[Well, there is talk of trying to come up with some original accessories if we have a little extra time……]

[……Miyama-sama, do you enjoy messing with my heart?]

[How come!? A- As far as it goes though, I think there’s almost no possibility of making it just from what I heard from Amel-san.]

[Even if there’s just a 1% chance…… We can’t afford not to be prepared for possible situations…… My apologies. Someone bring me some stomachache pills…… powerful ones.]

With my additional words, her face dyed with despair appeared again. That stuff about original accessories was actually just what Amel-san said from all the excitement she was having back then…… but I really don’t know how that talk would turn out. In the first place, I don’t think I can make original accessories with my skills, and I think there’s almost no possibility of actually making them. Well, that’s what I was thinking…… but it seems like that was the problem.

U- Unnn. I guess if I were to actually make them, I’d have to think about how to deal with people who might act strangely, which includes Shiro-san on that list…… Otherwise, it would end up being quite a big deal for Chris-san……
