Demon Girl ~Tale of a Lax Demon~ Vol 7 Chapter 14

Chapter 14

Volume 7, Chapter 14: In the North, Part 3

“What kind of price are you charging for this quality? Although it’s a new product, the strength is lower than the last model, so make it cheaper!”

He really looks like Francois-san .

Also, looking at the racks of weapons, there are signs saying [New Product] or [Up to 15% more magical conductivity], or [Surprisingly Powerful Design] etc… have those other worlds leaked this contamination here?

The person yelling enough to cause the manager to sweat was a tall, muscular, well-groomed man . Ah, rather, a “Woman~ . ”

Surely as a noble, they have plenty of money, why are they being so cheap?

I guess it can’t be helped…

“If you let the strength of a weapon fall, perhaps your priorities are off . ”

“Ara, Dearie, do I know you?”

“C-customer-sama?”

I want to get a price cut as well, now .

…Hmm? Did I do something strange?

In a case where a manager is having trouble with a customer, it’s natural to join in, to have allies in getting a discount…

Hehehe, I truly am a Demon .

While here, I’m projecting my newly integrated “Yuzu” common sense, rather then Yurushia .

I feel like I’ve moved up as a Demon as a result .

Seeing what seemed to be a noble girl join into the price bartering, the broad shouldered person laughed, a wide smile on their face, while the clerk’s expression fell dramatically .

“H-however, this product is a breakthrough in the use of new alloys…”

“And yet, it’s twice as expensive as any other weapon of this strength, It’s too high . As such a valuable repeat customer, I demand you make it cheaper . ”

“Maa maa~, hold for a moment . You wouldn’t want to spoil your beautiful face, no?

“Ara?”

As I gently interrupted the tirade, my new comrade gave me a dazzling smile, stretching their stubbled cheeks . I return the smile in kind and restart the conversation with the manager .

“To what extent has the strength fallen? Please explain . ”

“Well, this material is…”

Although the explanation took a long time, in short, it has better overall performance, but the strength dropped by a step due to the new material . It seems like the high price is due to the research expenses that went into the creation of the new material, rather than the material itself being expensive .

“I understand, but while it may be natural to include development costs in a new product, a sword with a lowered strength can’t be called a finished good . So, how about we use this other price instead?”

“… I see . It’s too expensive . ”

“It can’t be helped for a new product to some extent, but with that performance, anything more is impossible . ”

“… Understood . ”

With the new price being discounted to the same as the previous model, I buy two swords and the large man buys one .

He seemed frustrated that he didn’t get it for even cheaper, but he seemed to like the new product so he didn’t raise a fuss .

The store manager seemed relieved that Francois-san’s annual visit went smoothly, it seems he was expecting a larger discount .

“He~ey, Manager-san . ”

“…Wh-what is it?”

As I spoke up, the manager looked at me with a slightly intimidated expression .

“It will be okay; this day can still end on a good note . Would you like a special Magic Formula to increase the strength of this magical weapon?

“… HoHo . ”

The store manager’s composure shifted to that of a cutthroat merchant in the blink of an eye .

The magic items in this world are not miniaturized or very complex since they rely on magic stones .

I have made my own formations, but in this case, I’m trying to sell Atra’s more common place permanent enchantments .

After an example was placed on a weapon and the strength increase was demonstrated, the negotiations with the manager closed at a sale total of 200 gold coins – about 20 million yen .

I also wanted a patent fee, but I might save that for the larger engagements .

“I’m back!”

““Welcome back, Yurushisama . ””

After spending about half a day in negotiations, my two attendants graciously greeted me .

Behind them, the tired eyes of Daichi and Futa grow fearful, but I don’t mind .

I helped that person get a discount, and, on the store side of things, improved on their problem so everyone is happy .

In a sense, this kind of knowledge is a cheat too .

“Dearie, so your name is Yuru-chan?”

“Ah, thank you for your help in there . ”

Suddenly moving straight to “Yuru” is… eh it’s fine .

The loud fellow who approached seemed to have been waiting for me here even though it had been half a day since they left the store .

“Well, I normally dislike pretty little girls, but I liked Yuru-chan’s way of handling that discount negotiation . ”

“Maa, sorry about that, you resemble a certain ‘Princess’ friend of mine, so I may have joined in without asking . ”

He’s just like that 3-meter-tall princess .

When I compared him to a ‘Princess,’ he put a hand over his mouth and made an [Ufu] laugh .

“Well, you may be young, but you certainly don’t speak wrong, are you perhaps the daughter of a merchant leader?”

“I’ll leave that to your imagination . ”

“Ufufufu”

“Ho ho ho”

As the two of us laughed together, the various guests around us seemed to be moving further and further away .

“I’ve truly fallen for you . Please call me Kan-chan, Yuru . ”

“Are you from a noble family, Kan-chan?

“Fufufu… I’ll leave that to your imagination as well . ”

For some reason Kan-chan seemed like a “Isekai Person . ”

I think the only people in this world who would dye their hair and use such words at an age past 30 would be foreigners . That said, I don’t hold anything against that type .

“Oh how I wish all the children in this world were like Yuru . ”

“Ara? Kan-chan, did something happen?”

“That’s not it, I need to deal with some mysterious little girl, or so I’ve been told . ”

“That sounds troublesome . I also have to deal with some troublesome guy for my job . ”

“Yuru shouldn’t be so serious, after all, young lady, are not your escort boys “Isekai People”?

Kan-chan turned to gaze lazily at Futa and Daichi, who puffed their chests out proudly .

“Isekai Children who can fight must be strong, I bet they were expensive to hire . ”

“Ah, you’re correct . ”

Aside from the chosen Heroes, they’re all expelled as useless, but it seems that they still have more job opportunities than normal people, because their souls are strong .

I personally think they should use them as knights after training them at the castle, but I guess it costs too much money to educate people who don’t have any training from scratch .

“Ufufufu, what if, instead, you hired them to me? I’ll cherish them dearly~”

As they speak, Kan-chan gives Daichi and Futa a wink with their centimeter-long eyelashes, and their knees buckle as they squirm away, shaking their heads .

“Anything can be experience, no?”

As I looked their way with a kind smile, they flew back several meters in an instant .

Hmm . It seems that the true outcome of the special training has finally come out . I’ll have to make sure they’re advanced to the next level in that case .

And thus, I met the true Dwarf of this country, the mysterious Isekai person, Kan-chan .

It seems like we’ll be good friends, we both value a partner and we’re both now thinking of how to use the other to help with our problems .

I thought this would be nothing but a chore, but it turned out to be a good bit of fun .

… Come to think of it, where is that Hero around here?
