93. The Wind Blows And The Tub Shop Is Profitable
In front of the dungeon, the gathered villagers looked on.
They left the magic cart with Ena, who had been hastily dispatched from the benefactor, Swallow, to return the favor of the buyer.
Ena took out the gold sand from the magic cart and weighed it.
''Yes, that's 1,020,134 piro.
""Oh!"
After the tally was done, he got a safe from another clerk, counted the money from it and handed it to me.
A dungeon drop, and then a purchase.
The villagers cheered when they saw the most orthodox scene of production activity in this world.
'This is how you earn your money?'
It's nice to have a quick buck.
I'm going into the dungeon tomorrow.
The villagers were impressed and excited.
'Here, take this one too, please.'
When I finished my purchase, Alan, a villager, came in front of Ena.
He had also dived into Aulum a few times, and I had him assess the gold sand that I got from defeating the little demon.
'That's 24932 piro in all,'
Oooh, .......
Alan was touched and shuddered at the cash that was handed to him.
Several other people who had entered the dungeon were bought out of the sand and gold.
Production activities from the dungeon.
Defeating monsters and redeeming dropped goods.
To me, this was an everyday scene, but the people in this village who had been waiting for a dungeon to spawn for a long time, cheered every time one of the purchases was completed.
Now the villagers of Indor would know the process of redeeming the items dropped from the dungeon.
Then it's time to go to .......
''Alice, do you have any alcohol or anything in this village?As much as possible.
I asked Alice, who was standing beside me.
'Booze?Hmmm, I think it's at the village chief's, Karon's and Milau's place. We're stockpiling it for the annual village festival.
For the festivities, then I guess I'll have enough. You think this will buy it all?
I showed Alice the money I made today, about a million piro.
'I think it's enough: ......?'
What do you mean?I got a strange look on my face.
"So let's have a banquet with this money.
It's not possible.
A woman spoke to me from behind.
She was an elderly woman of about seventy years old, using a cane.
'And you are?'
My name is Mirau.
Oh, Alice said she's got a supply of booze.
''That's right. If your benefactor is throwing a banquet, please use our sake.
Thank you, then--
There's no way I'd accept money from a benefactor.
""Yeah, yeah, yeah."
Grandma Milau said, and some villagers joined in.
It's nice to feel, but that doesn't mean anything ().
'Thank you. But please accept it.
No, your benefactor sent me to .......
Otherwise, it won't open.
I said to her spitefully.
Granny Millau looked annoyed for a moment, but I didn't back down a step, so she eventually accepted the money.
''I understand, I'll take my benefactor's word for it.''
Karon and the village chief got the word, and they came over and said they wouldn't get the money as well, but I forced them to pay for it.
The liquor in the village was easy to drink, and the million piro was left over even after paying for the liquor, so I left the rest to the village chief to use for cooking.
The villagers were getting ready for the feast.
Alice came next to me and asked me with a strange look on her face.
"Hey, Lyota, why did you insist on paying for it?
I used to travel overseas for six months on a business trip to a village just like this one.
?
Alice wondered with a grandiose tilt of her head.
She wouldn't know right away, but I figured she'd probably figure it out soon enough.
The feast in the village square was in full swing, while Ryota was drinking with the villagers.
Mirau called up a villager named Play and spoke in the corner of the square.
'What's up, Old Lady Millau?'
Play, or is your carpentry skills rusty?
Sure. Fixing up the house?
I don't care about this old woman's house. I'd rather build a house in the back of my house. I heard that a dungeon has been built and I got a call that my son is coming back from town.
Oh, congratulations.
Thanks to our benefactor for buying our booze in bulk, that should be enough, right?
Millau handed Play a bill.
'I tell you what, this is just my workload, man.
Look, I've already paid for the materials. I'll order it tomorrow.
I'll take care of it. I'll take care of it, and I'll build you a nice house for your son.
Play pocketed the money and Millau returned to the circle of people with his wand.
'Poulai,'
Wow!What's up, Leesha, don't scare me.
Yes, sir.
The middle-aged woman called Leesha held out her hand, palm up, in front of the play.
What the f*ck?
Don't play dumb, you saw what happened. When you get your money in, just pay your rent.
You want to take this?If they take it all away, I'm going to--
You'll pay the bill and you can start again tomorrow.
'Ugh, wow, I get it: ...... and ho ho ho ......'
Play took out the money he had just put away and gave it to Risha.
Hinofunonomi ...... Yes, here's your change.
Not even 500 pios in change!
You said I could put it on again. You can pick up the tab, but when you've got the money, you'll pay it. Am I wrong?
You're not wrong, sir.
Okay.
Leesha left the shunned play and walked back into the circle of people.
She found a young man among them.
His name was Ginnis, Risha's own brother.
Risha sat down next to her quiet brother, who was drinking sotto voce.
'Here,'
Sis: "Sis: ...... Huh?What's the matter with you, such a lot of money?
"For the money he collects from the play, for the money he piles up at our house.
Well, you're a good payer.
Shouldn't this be enough?
What?
About you and Kiki's marriage, I think that should be enough.
Yes, that's true, but ......
"Don't keep a girl waiting, and don't hold back on your brother. You should just get married and make Kiki happy.
Yeah, I guess so: ......
Go ahead and propose to him.I'll take care of the money for now. I'll pay it off at weddings and other places first.
But Kiki's like, "But Kiki's like, yeah, ......
You two are burning up the village with your mouths wide open.
Okay, all right!
Ginnis was kicked out by Risha and went to her childhood friend Kiki, who was a hard worker, pouring drinks and going around and sharing food.
And--.
Satou-sama!
As I was having a drink with the village chiefs and explaining to them the economic activities that have built up around the dungeon in my own way, a couple of men and women came in.
One is a girl named Kiki, who has come to pour a few drinks, and the other is a thin boy I've never seen before.
"And you?
My name is Guinis. Uh, Satou-sama!
Yes.
Please be our matchmaker!
A matchmaker?You guys are getting married?
Ginnis nodded, and Kiki looked shy and depressed, contrary to how hard she had been working earlier.
But she doesn't seem to mind, in fact she seems happy to say that this is the peak of her life.
I see, congratulations.
I could raise my glass of liquor and take over the blessing.
Then I remembered and asked the village chief.
'Are you sure you want me to be the matchmaker?Is there anything wrong with that from a village perspective?
What do you mean? Nothing would make me happier than to have you as my benefactor. That is why Ginnis has done what he has done.
Oh, yeah? By the way, I'm single and you're okay with it?
'That's okay too, you don't have to be married around here,'
Okay.
He nodded, took two cups that no one had touched, poured the drinks and handed them to Ginis and Kiki.
'I'm going to play matchmaker. Congratulations.
Thank you!
Thank you.
They toasted with two grateful people.
They held each other's hands, and they had bright red faces, I don't know if it was from the alcohol or happiness.
I looked at them and said to Alice, who was sitting next to me.
'That's what I mean,'
?
Alice still didn't understand.
In a half-stagnant village like this, when you throw a lot of money in at once, it moves dramatically.
The same is true of the places I've traveled abroad before. The millions of dollars brought in by Japanese companies triggered the economy of the town to temporarily turn around tremendously.
And that kind of turnover can lead to several things, one of which is marriage.
Ginis and Kiki are full of happiness.
I don't know how that million pounds of silverware worked, but I'm pretty sure it came about in a roundabout way.
Most importantly, I was sure that the million pyrro would be used up, and that it would generate more than a million pyrro in economic benefits.
