Chapter 590 - Local Specialties Now on Sale
"Alright everyone, connecting to the island now. Shou-kun, Lupi-chan, and everyone on the island~"
"Welcome, Mion!"
"Woof~"
Today's stream also started from the backyard.
I waited for the usual greetings and the scrolling comment section to settle down.
During that time, I went through my usual routine of petting Lupi to calm myself down.
"Shou-kun. What will you be doing on today's live stream?"
"Uh, I'll be explaining the quests and sales from 'Tir na nOg' that I mentioned before. There's quite a bit, so I'll give a rough overview first and then take individual questions, I guess?"
[Kincoji] "Sales are here!!"
[Yuusen] "Leave the quests to me~! I'm ready to roll!"
[Venessa] "Are you selling Cuminon?!"
[Akumon] "M-my wallet's tight right now...orz"
etcetc...
As expected, it's getting exciting.
There are many people who want the island's produce, so I wish we could increase the amount we offer, but I don't want to overwork the fairies, so it's difficult.
"Alright, please proceed in order."
"Okay. First, the first quest is a call for original vases and flower pots."
I started by explaining that only a limited number of people could accept this quest.
I also mentioned that they would be used inside the mansion and in the backyard, so they might be featured in a live stream after being received.
[Femura] "Seriously?!"
[Rossan] "Oooh! Will I make it in time for the skill level cap breakthrough?"
[Chrom] "G-guh, this is frustrating but understandable."
[Meike] "Will this exchange happen again in the future!?"
etcetc...
At least it's good that there wasn't nobody.
I wonder if more people than I thought have reached the Pottery skill?
Many seem to be aiming for it, but for this, it will be first-come, first-served for 30 people, with the condition that they show an inscribed original work when accepting the quest.
"What about the deadline?"
"It's not that urgent, but I think it would drag on if it's too long, so I'm thinking of making it one week starting today."
I wasn't sure, but it seems many comments agreed it was reasonable, which was good.
Just in case, since there's also a World Quest going on, I decided there would be no penalties for slight delays.
And then,
"The reward is one small barrel of island-produced alcohol. Please specify which you'd like when you apply: Grapeful Wine, Bourbon, Aquavit, or Malt Whisky."
I showed them the real items, identifying them as Fairy-cultivated, Urisk-cultivated, and so on.
[Choccol] "HERE IT COMES!!!"
[Molto] "Malt Whisky?!"
[Aiei] "A war is about to begin!"
[Kerorin] "I wish I had leveled Pottery…"
etcetc...
So many people like alcohol.
"Shou-kun. Time for the next one."
"Oops. Then, questions later…"
I decided to move quickly, so next was the request for glass bottles.
This is because I want to actually try out the idea I mentioned before about recycling glass using Granulation and Crystallization.
[Jont] "Recycling, nice~"
[Daytron] "
[Crand] "Are the recycled items going back to the mainland?"
[Yonro] "Are you interested in glass crafting?"
etcetc...
We'll recruit for this until the end of tomorrow, and if there are many applicants, it will be the same lottery system as last time.
I glanced at the comments for a bit, then talked about the quantity and deadline. Then, I showed them through Appraisal that the reward, island-produced Dried Grapeful, was Fairy-cultivated.
"From now on, these are items for sale. First, the cheaper ones."
So, I successively announced the sale of island-produced Olive Oil, island-produced Odapra, and island-produced Cuminon Seeds.
[Master Chef] "
[Minamiruge] "Cuminon Seeds!!!"
[Charinbou] "Too cheap!!!"
[Clare] "Could you mark it up a bit more?"
etcetc...
Hmm, is it really too cheap?
I don't really want to put a high price on food-related items. You just eat it and it's gone.
Also, I made sure to convey that it's perfectly fine to use Odapra and Cuminon Seeds for cultivation. However, I also stated that I can't guarantee they will grow properly.
"These also have quantity limits, so if there are too many applicants, it'll be a lottery."
"Although there are many items this time, please limit your lottery applications to one per person."
"Oh, that's right. Mion, thanks."
I hope to be able to trade with as many people as possible.
And now, for the main event?
"Finally, three types of ingots. Since there are very few of these, I've priced them quite high."
When I announced the sale of high-quality ingots of Heavy Silver Steel, Mithril, and Green Gold Steel, the comment section flowed like a waterfall.
"Uh, aren't they too expensive?"
[Gishisan] "It looks like the market price, but it's a trap because they're high quality, lol."
[Mushinko] "It's the opposite!"
[Jazuu] "Green Gold Steel is seriously insane."
[Sarco] "If you think about how many accessories you can make, it's actually cheap."
etcetc...
Judging from the reactions, even though they're high quality, these prices are on the cheaper side.
I guess for next time, I can raise the prices a bit more?
But then, if I get too much money, I'll have trouble finding ways to spend it…
"Joint purchases are also allowed, right?"
"Yes. Since the prices are what they are, I think it's fine for several people to pool their money and buy them, but in that case, the representative should handle it responsibly."
I can't be bothered with what happens after the sale.
I made sure to state that if any disputes arise, future transactions might be prohibited.
Well, even if that happens, I can always trade with Bell-buchou's 'Silver Manor' or Nat's 'Fairy's Friend.'
