Chapter 9. The second night of the Other World
After completing the quest to defeat the slime, we checked our income at the inn.
The reward for defeating slimes is 2,000 mina per animal. Since I killed 10 of them, my income is 20,000 minas. It's certainly a little better than doing chore quests.
If you're a woman, as a man, I've discovered that it's easier to earn money by wiping the sweat of women on chore quests. Moreover, you can even touch your boobs.
In this world being a man is a... power-up.
If I do it poorly, I think I'll make more money even if Lucia works harder than today.
I want to make a lot of money and come back to my old world. That's what I think, but after spending a few days in another world like this, I want to enjoy this world a little more.
Especially if you know you can make money more easily if you are a man.
Being summoned to another world will never happen again in my short life.
Anyway, I want to earn money, live a little better, and enjoy life in another world for a time.
"Hey, how much money do you need to buy a house in this world?" I asked Lucia, who was lounging on the bed while I was thinking about the money.
"It's about 20 million minas... What? Are you willing to live in this world permanently!?"
Lucia got up in surprise. His eyes lit up with anticipation, but he quickly shook his head in denial.
"I don't want to go that far, I don't think I'm going to move to this world, .... But I think I can enjoy this world for a while."
"I see, isn't that a good thing? Frankly, it's impossible to save 100 million while living like this, so once you have a certain amount of money, it's better to invest in your infrastructure and equipment, sit down and earn money more efficiently."
This guy said it like it was someone else's problem.
Isn't it originally a votive offering for you to become a goddess?
But Lusha is right. I once heard about it from a schoolteacher. To make more money, you first need money to pay your bills.
Because you have money, you can invest a lot of money, and you can make more money than you invested. That's how money works, and that's why the rich can make even more money.
It is easy to understand if we take a factory as an example. When employees make and sell things by hand, production efficiency is low. On the other hand, if you use a machine, you can perform automatic manufacturing 24 hours a day, and it is overwhelming in terms of production efficiency.
How much a product sells is determined by demand, but the higher the demand, It will be less the opportunity to lose if it is mass-produced and sold.
Of course, there is also the option of adding value to hand-made products and selling them at a higher price than machine-made products. After all, it is simply easier to make money by mass-producing and selling things that are in demand.
However, it costs a huge of money to equip machinery and equipment for mass production. Equip with a huge amount of money and make more money with it. That is the economic system.
It's not that simple, but if you see the basics, there must be a part of the truth. The rich make more money. When you think about it, it's natural.
That's why we should get a house to base and solidify our ground first, rather than living in an inn like this.
Hurry up. It may seem like a roundabout way, but it's a shortcut.
If you sleep in such a cheap inn every day, you will not be able to heal your daily fatigue.
If I am honest, this bed has a shallow bottom and is hard. When I wake up in the morning, my body hurts a lot.
To earn 100 million minas easily, first use the money you earn to put your surroundings in order. As a result, you will need more than 100 million minas, but you should be able to earn much faster than living in an inn and earning 100 million minas steadily.
At this rate, it will take decades to earn 100 million minas. If that's the case, you won't be able to move forward even if you're in a bad mood.
That is. I still want to go back to my old world, but I've gotten used to this world and become more enjoyable, so for the time being, I'd like to start preparing for living here. To do that, we need a base first.
In Japan ... No, in any country in the world, it's quite a hurdle to have your own home. But this is a different world. Or there could be a get-rich-quick twist lying around.
It should not be impossible to build your dream home at such a young age.
"First, my goal is to get out of this cheap hotel."
"Well, if you keep earning at this rate, it will be quite possible. Also, if you want to buy a house, you will need a lot of money... If you want a base for the time being, forming a guild might be a shortcut than you think.
"Is it liking the Adventurer's Guild?"
"That's right, we're just hired adventurers from the Adventurer's Guild. However, if we form our guild, there is a possibility that quests will come directly from the country or other guilds, and we will get all the rewards. What's more, higher-rated guilds may be given a house by the state to serve as their base!"
I see. I mean, we should create something like an adventurer's guild.
"But is it easy to form a guild?"
That's the problem. If anyone could easily create one, there would be no way for the Adventurer's Guild that we are indebted to now ...to be able to exist.
"It's easy if it's an unofficial guild, but you need to become an official guild to get help from the state."
It's getting complicated again.
"When you say official guild, you're talking about an adventurer's guild, right? So, what is an unofficial guild?"
"As the name suggests, it's a guild that isn't recognized by the state or the town. In the first place, a guild is an organization of people who work with the same purpose."
"What kind of unofficial guilds are there, for example?"
"There are cooking guilds that search for delicious food every day, various sports guilds that sweat healthily, and guilds that farm as a hobby. There are also other guilds whose activities are ambiguous, such as the Love Books Guild, where people recommend their favorite books to each other, and the Writing Guild, where you write your books and distribute them among people with the same hobbies. Also, the Guild is ambiguous in its activities, such as trying to be popular with men."
It's not at the level of student club activities, is it? No, there's less.
"I know it's easy to create an unofficial guild... If it's not an official guild, there's no support from the state, right? How do I become an official guild?"
"To become an official guild, you need to be recommended by an existing official guild and approved by the government to form it."
The state-sanctioned Adventurer's Guild collects requests from the state and the private sector and entrusts them to adventurers. It is certainly an activity that is in the national interest.
"That's impossible."
There is no way we can do activities that will be recognized by the government now.
"Even if you are unofficial, you can be promoted to an official guild if your activities are recognized! If the content of the activity becomes popular, it will be a chance for people to request related to the activity! Sometimes, there may be dark quests that will make you a lot of money!"
The dark quest... sounds dangerous.
But it's ... guild. Now, I only know Lucia, and it might be a good idea to form a group like that and spread the word. If you can get to know, you can easily get a chance to make a lot of money. It's not a bad idea to form an unofficial guild.
The problem is....
"If we were to form a guild, what kind of activities should we do?"
I'm not familiar with the culture of the other world yet, so I can't pinpoint it. If the goal is to become an official guild in the future, it will have to be a corresponding activity.
Lucia was very proud of whether she had a good idea.
"Well, there is already Akira. Who is the only male in this town? so let's make it a guild where you can interact with Akira. If you do that, you'll make a lot of money!"
This guy has the worst idea, .... Isn't that the unofficial guild of darkness?
"Rejected, rejected, you have come to a fantasy world, but are you doing illegal activities that seem such a reality?"
Such a thing is bound to be cracked down on rather than officially recognized.
In the first place, if you like it, you can get money and touch women's skin as much as you want without forming a guild. If that's the case, it's a guild, so I'm sure it should have something else to do.
Lucia, who was outright rejected for her plan, growled in frustration.
"I thought it was the best idea... Ugh, I want Akira to give me a naughty massage!"
After all, that's the aim. This lewdness. Well, we'll talk about the guild later. If the content of the activity is not decided, it is nothing.
The pause in the conversation makes him lose his mind, and he yawns heavily.
It's only the second day since I came to this other world. I am more tired than I am physically. It's time to go to bed.
"Let's go to bed, good night."
"Good night, Akira."
I crawl into bed, wrap myself in a flimsy blanket, and close my eyes. I could hear Lucia turn off the lights and crawl into the bed next to her.
I hope I can sleep today...
