Feeling overwhelmed by Marie’s high energy, I take a sip of the tea she brought me and take a moment to relax.

Oh, as always, the tea they serve here is delicious.

I take a few more sips of tea, soothing my tiredness, and then get to the main point.

“I have a souvenir for Lambert-san. And also, a request…”

Saying that, I take out a vivid green skin from my item box.

“Um, if I remember correctly, it’s the skin of a Hunter Green Anaconda.”

It’s a drop item from that dungeon.

I hadn’t seen such a vibrant green skin in Lambert-san’s shop, so I thought it would make a good souvenir.

Also, I want all of my slave employees to make small items out of it and use them as souvenirs.

“M-M-Mukoda-sama!”

For some reason, Lambert-san is desperately shouting my name.

“Oh my…”

Marie-san makes a troubled face and gives a wry smile.

“Mukoda-sama, I have to attend to the customers who are flocking to the store, so I’ll excuse myself here.”

“Yes, please go ahead.”

Marie-san’s beauty products corner is always bustling. Moreover, the female customers there are really serious, asking various questions while selecting and buying products. The staff there (by the way, all female) seemed extremely busy.

However, contrary to my agreement, Lambert-san clings onto Marie-san, calling out “Marie~” to stop her.

Lambert-san, don’t be too possessive just because you don’t want to be away from Marie-san. Being too clingy will only push her away.

Honestly, it’s killing my soul to see a couple so happy. (The cry of my heart)

“You, please take good care of Mukoda-sama.”

Saying that with a smile, Marie-san shakes off the clinging Lambert-san and leaves the room.

I look at Lambert-san, who is chubby and seems like a good person. Haah, even though he’s a well-known merchant, he looks like someone who should be called “uncle” due to his age. It’s strange that such a young and beautiful wife is with him.

Is it all about money? Is it money?

But I have money too.

Why don’t I have any encounters?

Even in my previous world, I didn’t have any encounters, so I don’t think it would be a punishment to have encounters here.

“…What am I supposed to do? Mukoda-san’s naivety has reached such a point that I don’t even know how to communicate with him anymore.” (Muttering)

“Hm? Lambert-san, did you say something?”

I didn’t hear what you said because I was thinking about complaining to Lambert-san.

“Oh, it’s nothing. Sigh…”

No, no, what’s with that final sigh?

I’m the one who wants to sigh here.

“Mukoda-san.”

“Yes?”

“I can’t accept this skin, you know.”

“Huh? Why not? I brought it as a souvenir and I also have a request…”

When I say that, Lambert-san looks at me seriously.

“Mukoda-san, are you aware? This Hunter Green Anaconda skin is not something that can be casually given as a souvenir. It is a highly valuable item, and it was sold for nearly 1000 gold coins at an auction held in the capital last year.”

“1000 gold coins?”

“Yes. And that’s even with many scratches on it. I partic.i.p.ated in the auction last year, so I saw it with my own eyes.”

“Many scratches…”

I look closely at the Hunter Green Anaconda skin that I took out.

…There aren’t any scratches on this skin, right?

“You can see it, right? This skin doesn’t have a single scratch and it’s in a very beautiful condition, so it’s worth at least more than 1000 gold coins.”

“Well, um…”

I understand what you want to say.

But for me, this skin doesn’t have much practical value.

I would have to sell it, but Feru and the others are already earning so much money, so I’m not really in need of it right now.

It’s such a beautiful color, and I thought it would be a perfect souvenir for Lambert-san…

“Listen, Mukoda-san. I’m not shameless enough to accept something like this as a souvenir.”

“But I also have a request…”

While looking at Lambert-san, who is lecturing me, I try to resist a little.

“Sigh… Is this request of yours worth as much as this skin?”

“Well, um…”

“Mukoda-san.”

“Um, well, I thought I could have small items made from this skin as a souvenir for everyone in my group…”

“Sigh…”

Lambert-san, hold on a second.

Do you really need to sigh and shake your head like that?

“Everyone… You mean the slaves in your group, right?”

“Yes. They are all important employees of mine.”

We wouldn’t be able to travel freely like this if it weren’t for everyone in my group.

Because they are here, I can feel at ease and go to various places.

They are truly indispensable personnel for me.

“It’s only someone like Mukoda-san who would think of giving small items made from Hunter Green Anaconda skin as souvenirs to slaves… Hahaha.”

Lambert-san, please don’t say things like that with a dry laugh…

“That’s why I really want to ask you to make those small items.”

“…Sigh… I understand. I’ll take the job. And let us buy the remaining skin from you as well. It’s a rare item like Hunter Green Anaconda skin that we rarely come across. Let us acquire it. Hahahaha.”

…Lambert-san, are you giving up?

After that, there was some back and forth between Lambert-san, who said he would offer 1200 gold coins for the Hunter Green Anaconda skin, and me, who insisted on a lower price since we should deduct the cost of making the small items. In the end, we settled on my proposal of 600 gold coins after deducting the skin for the small items and the labor fee. Or rather, I pushed for it.

However, Lambert-san still seems unsatisfied.

“Are you really okay with this price?”

“As the seller, I’m saying it’s fine, so it’s fine!”

I won’t back down on this.

I brought it as a souvenir, but now I’m going to end up taking the gold coins back. Please understand my situation.

It’s not cool, you know.

Anyway, let’s move on to talking about the small items!

“So, what I want is to have wallets made from this skin. I’d like to request that. And also…”

I explained to Lambert-san what I had in mind.

In this world, only wealthy people have leather wallets like the ones sold in this shop. Ordinary adventurers and townspeople just carry their coins in sack-like bags or fold them in cloth bags.

That’s how everyone in our group used to carry their money too.

Honestly, I thought that was a bit… well, not ideal. So I decided to make wallets as souvenirs, and I wanted them to be practical.

You see, the wallets here have b.u.t.ton or belt closures, and it’s a ha.s.sle to take out or put in coins. It might not seem like a big deal once you get used to it, but honestly, I haven’t been using the wallet I bought here much.

So I thought, wouldn’t a frogmouth wallet be handy?

Open it with a snap, close it with a snap.

I think a frogmouth wallet would be perfect for carrying coins.

That’s why I’ve been trying to explain the concept of a frogmouth wallet to Lambert-san, but it’s not quite getting through.

“Well, let’s see… I’ll draw a picture to explain.”

From my Item Box, I took out the paper, ink bottle, and quill pen that I obtained out of curiosity before.

I drew a crude picture on the rough, low-quality paper.

“So, this metal part opens and closes like this.”

“I see, I see. The part at the top here is the key to the opening and closing mechanism. I understand now, thanks to the picture. If it’s just this, even our craftsmen can handle it.”

Ohh, it looks like a frogmouth wallet will work out fine.

According to Lambert-san, since it’s a small item, including the frogmouth metal part, it can be made in about three days.

As expected of Lambert-san’s shop.

It was definitely the right choice to rely on them.

“Now, I have a question. Could we also sell this ‘frogmouth wallet’ in our store?”

“Well, that’s fine.”

“Thank you! If my prediction is correct, these will sell well!”

“U-uh…”

“From the sales, we’ll give a portion back to you, Mukoda-san!”

“Huh?”

“Well then, Mukoda-san, I’ll get back to work! It’s going to be busy!”

“Oh, Lambert-san…”

He left.

“Anyway, it’s just a frogmouth wallet. Oh well, I guess I’ll head back too.”

Feru and the others must be waiting eagerly.
