「 Oh yeah, this will give you some idea of what things are like in my world 」
I say that then I took out a catalog gift from the department store and handed it to Nia.
Nia seems interested in Japan, so she’s going to be pleased to see this.
「 Ooh! What a clean book! What’s written inside? Hey, Daiki-nii. Can I keep this? 」
「 What do you mean? 」
「 I mean, the drawings are all so beautiful, isn’t this important? 」
「 Oh, it’s just a normal book on our side. I won’t be angry if you get it dirty or tear it, just browse as you like 」
「 I see. Daiki-nii’s place is amazing 」
Perhaps sensing that it wasn’t that valuable to me, Nia picked up the catalog gift got off the bed, and began to read it.
Even so, she looks timid and handles it with care.
I watch her with a smile, but Euphy’s embrace tightened up.
「 Daiki-sama, is it true that it’s not that valuable? 」
「 Yeah, not the book itself. The value of that thing is in the stuff that you see written there 」
「 I see, so it’s a list of goods. However, seeing a book that contains a lot of elaborate paintings would make many want it. I don’t have the knowledge to make a proper assessment, but it is worth a lot… 」
「 We can get as much as we want of that. Well, we can talk about it and decide in the future. 」
As expected, seeing a printed image makes it seem like a rare item in Euphy’s eyes.
Nia noticed that Euphy was also interested, so they started browsing the contents with me in between them.
It’s fun to see them flip through the pages and look at the photos with interest.
They have some mixed reactions, but most of them are good responses.
It looks like the stuff listed here will seem normal.
But you know, electrical appliances aren’t suitable for sale because, of electricity, that makes it impossible to sell the half-off hotel vouchers in the catalog either.
Even if they can’t use the electrical appliances, some may be attracted to the artistry, and the out of place artifact look of the product.
After watching the two of them, I got an idea of what their tastes were.
I see, So Euphy’s interested in cutlery
「 Yes, I think these are lovely. Such beautiful tableware are items that only royalty would own 」
「 I see. So porcelains are a good product to sell. Let’s use that as our pivot 」
「 Are these vessels glass? 」
「 Yes, do you think they would sell? 」
「 Yes, I’m sure. I’ve never seen glassware as transparent as this… 」
「 Oh, I knew it. It’s so elaborate that it’s not yet made here. Even the windowpanes in the high-class inns were foggy and low-quality 」
Euphy’s reaction was more of a shudder at the quality than interest and amazement.
Looking at her face, it’s not the items themselves, but the sensation of a far more advanced civilization that makes her shiver.
Maybe, if I were looking at a catalog of some super sci-fi ray guns or something, I’d be making the same look.
I feel like it’ll be different.
「 And so, what does NIa want? Oh, meat 」
「 Yes! This looks delicious! 」
「 Oh, you want to try some Sukiyaki? 」
「 Yes! Ah, this one looks delicious too! What does it taste like? 」
「 Okay, I’ll get some good meat and bring it back with me the next time I go to Japan. While we’re at it, how about we try what the steak meat here tastes like? 」
「 Really!? Wow, I want it! I love delicious meat! 」
Nia’s eyes are sparkling and her face is filled with her smile.
Still, I just told her that I’ll bring some next time, but she’s already excited just seeing a photo of meat.
I guess this is what it means to have function over aesthetics.
It looks like I can make some money from the way the two react.
The click here is quite amazing, see?
If you have contact with the ruler class, making money is easier than you think.
Thinking about it, the face of the prime minister of Nyhied came to my mind.
Hmm, if it’s money, then it’s that guy.
From the knowledgeable perspective, I gained so far, that guy’s got more money than most of the royalty.
How about I go see him again with a few new items?
But still, that smells dangerous no matter how you look at it.
「 Where did you get this from? Capture him! 」 And they’ll arrest me…
Besides, there’s also the case of Euphy, although I’m not sure if the prime minister is involved there.
It’s high-risk, also high reward.
But, I could potentially use my teleport skill inside the castle, so maybe I can get away with it.
If I wait a day after teleporting to the royal capital, I can come back anytime.
No, no, it’s still dangerous.
I rack my brain over the risks and rewards and remembered that I could stay in Nyhied for long.
I shouldn’t forget that.
That’s going to be a point of conversation later.
The three of us spent some time looking at the catalog gifts.
Not feeling like going out for dinner, I decided to go to the inn’s ground floor.
Usually, the girl who sits next to me is alternating, but it seems that Euphy’s staying.
Euphy remained stuck with me the whole time, but she moved away during the meal.
But as soon as we got back to our room, she hugged me and kept fawning over me, touching me, grabbing my hands, and leading me where she wants to be touched.
I feel like asking where her attendant mode had gone, but I don’t hate the idea, rather, I’m happy that she’s doing it.
This is what Euphy had been doing since we came back to the room, but Nia’s still looking at the catalog gifts as she lies down on the bed, humming.
She already looked over the food section five times, but she never seem to get tired of it.
If she makes a face like that, it makes me want to feed her everything.
Well, I’ll have them eat what I brought from Japan for lunch tomorrow.
I have several cooler boxes of food in my magic bag.
I was rubbing Euphy’s chest while thinking about our plans for tomorrow then Nia yawned loudly.
「 Watching them the entire time got me sleepy. I’ll go sleep next door 」
「 Yeah, take it easy. I’ll give you some food tomorrow, look forward to it 」
「 Good food? Meat? 」
「 Well, I guess that’s about right? Pretty bright for someone sleepy 」
「 Then, I’ll sleep early and get it to morning right away 」
She’s going to sleep just to eat meat.
What a good way of thinking.
She left the room, and it’s just Euphy with me now.
It was just the right time, I removed my hand stroking Euphy’s thigh, and looked at her eyes.
「 Euphy, why don’t we go to the slave trader and take off your slave magic tomorrow? 」
