Chapter 702: Commercial Competition Part 1

I was leaning back while sitting on a tree branch with Layla sleeping on my head and Hinata reading a book sitting on my lap.

Sakura and Ragnar were having a card game under the tree while Orion was chasing Nix as training for his tracking skills.

Soon Freya comes bringing a large floating tray with Nira beside her, they stop under the tree and I get down while holding Hinata in my arms.

"I brought you a meal." (Freya)

"Do you know where rica and the others are?" (I)

"rica, Irina, and Lilith went looking for books, I saw Ibuki going to the Adventurer's Guild with Diana and Kira went to the Assassin's Guild." (Freya)

"Diana and Ibuki are going to find some monster to fight, I'm worried about what kind of book rica and Lilith want, but why was Kira the Assassin's Guild?" (I)

"She didn't tell me." (Freya)

"She wants to get some scoundrels to kill, she thinks we've spent too much money without having a steady financial income, so she's going to rob the person she kills." (Nira)

"Fine, I'm sure whoever she agrees to kill will be garbage in humanoid form, but we've got a lot of money." (I)

"I could fill a small lake with that much money and swim in it, that's actually an interesting idea." (I)

"No swimming in money, furthermore I disagree with you, as traveling merchants, we have a better monthly income than some small towns have in 1 year." (Nira)

"Products made at Dungeon are of high quality at a considerable price, plus we always have plenty of materials and food to sell." (Nira)

"Whatever big city we stop in I can always get a large sum of money if I don't spend it all buying the endless shopping list on my desk." (Nira)

"Speaking of shopping, how are the 6 stores doing?" (I)

"The renovations will be completed today, tomorrow the stores can open." (Nira)

"Excellent, I've been thinking about the rules of this competition, it's time to call these 6 to say the rules." (I)

"I'll ask Alice and Nolan to fetch them." (Freya)

"Okay thank you..." ()

"You can sell any way you want, but you can't force a person to buy, it has to be the person's own will." (I)

"I know you all speak the common language, but I also know that you don't know the Demon language, so I suggest you find people who can interpret if necessary." (I)

"You will have freedom of what you will sell and how much you will sell for, but try to maintain fair price margins, no pricing too low to sell in large quantities or prices too high to extort interested customers." (I)

"Ultimately, the winner will be the one who manages to raise the most money from the store in the next 7 starting tomorrow." (I)

"Does everyone understand the rules?" (I)

"Yea." (all)

The rules I've come up with are pretty obvious and simple, they'll have a great deal of freedom in their stores to make almost anything they want, but I can't let them force others to buy, I'm sure one of Lyra's potions would do that.

Nicolas created a magic item with the help of Hela allowing him to use the spectral body skill, with that he created a ghostly androgynous body.

He is also using a second illusion magic item to make this appearance seem more real.

"I can already imagine what kind of stores you will open, but say so anyway." (I)

"Of course, it will be a potions shop." (Lyra)

"A magic item shop, obviously." (Nicolas)

"An art store, I have a lot of things I make in my spare time to sell." (Leonardo)

"A weapons and armor shop, maybe a little repair if you're in the mood." (Anton)

"A clothing store, I will sell everything from normal clothes, to combat clothes and maybe some clothes to wear on more intimate occasions." (Tnia)

"(She's not planning on selling those perverted things, is she?)" (I)

"I'm going to make a magic shop with books I've created and magic scrolls I've been making, I have a lot of them since dungeon people don't like to rely on disposable items." (Rakan)

Just as I imagined, they all went to their specialties, to be honest, I'm not sure how skilled they are in their respective areas of work, but from what Nira says, they must all be pretty good.

"The reward that the winner will receive will be..." (I)
