As we walked back along the same path, I spoke to Isezaki-san.
“Sorry for speaking out without consulting you.”
“No, not at all! Your concerns are justified. After all, those were clothes you wore. Ideally, I’d like to haggle for a better price too!”
Isezaki-san spoke excitedly, but I wonder if she’s interested in the shirt. Is wearing shirts a trend among high school girls…? Not the worn-out ones like mine, but next time, I’ll recommend a good men’s clothing store.
“By the way, do you have any idea how much 4000 G is worth?”
“Well… it’s roughly equivalent to 4000 yen in Japanese currency. Of course, it’s just an estimate.”
“I see. In that case, it’s still not enough for living expenses. Alright, let’s head back to the inn for now.”
“Yes, understood. Please do as you see fit, sir.”
Isezaki-san nodded obediently without asking anything. To live up to her trust, I have to produce results.

We returned to the inn and changed back into the clothes we were wearing when we teleported – suits and school uniforms. We were also cleaned up with “Purification Clean”, leaving no dirt behind.
Then, guided by Isezaki-san, we headed to the Reymar Trading Company.
During the journey, we caught glimpses from passersby, but no one laughed or pointed fingers at us. It seems this attire isn’t too far from the common sense of this world.
In other words, it’s slightly unusual attire made from high-quality fabric. While standing out has its drawbacks, I’d like to focus on the advantages here.
And so, we arrived in front of Reymar Trading Company on the main street of Third Avenue. It seemed certain that this was the largest trading company in the city, as there were no taller buildings around.
Taking Isezaki-san with me, I boldly entered the Reymar Trading Company.
—
“Welcome.”
As soon as we entered the store, a female employee approached us. She glanced at us with curiosity for a moment but quickly put on a sales smile. Hmm, she’s a pro.
“Welcome, this is Reymar Trading Company. Do you have any prior appointments?”
“No, we apologize for the sudden visit. I am Matsunaga, a traveling merchant. I have brought some goods that I would like to show to Reymar Trading Company, so I have come for negotiations.”
Saying that, I showed the eco-bag I brought from the inn and bowed deeply. I didn’t say anything else unnecessary. It’s best not to reveal too much; it might expose our flaws.
The employee glanced up and down at me, and then seemed to be taken aback by Isezaki-san’s beauty next to me.
“I understand. I will call the person in charge, so please wait here for a moment.”
The employee bowed slightly and walked towards the back hallway from the entrance hall. As we were guided to our seats, Isezaki-san exclaimed excitedly.
“You’re amazing, sir!”
“Haha, well, I’m used to sales from work.”
I said, trying to appear composed.
To be honest, I thought the success rate was fifty-fifty, but the influence of wearing high-quality suits was significant. If this had been commoner attire, as the stall man said, we would have been turned away.
Well, even if this negotiation fails, I thought I would just repeat the same thing at another trading company. I didn’t feel much pressure because the idea that sales are a matter of course, even if they fail, is deeply ingrained in me. It’s a sad habit.
After a while, we were led to a room in Reymar Trading Company.
This seemed to be a reception room, with leather sofas and a simple yet somehow luxurious table. Glasses and what seemed to be wine were lined up on the shelves against the wall. It seemed we were treated as guests, which was a relief.
As we sat on the sofa, a man in his thirties with blond hair entered.
Perhaps he kept the beard to appear more dignified. Without it, he might seem quite handsome. This man seemed to be our negotiation partner.
After exchanging greetings with the man named Ryas, we decided to present our goods without delving into personal matters.
Once we showed them, they should be ours – that’s the plan.
