I’m Thinking of Buying Land (5)

Then, I should make a material or something that can be processed or preserved.

If the unit price is as high as possible, it is even better.

「Then, I should do some market research first.」

According to the posters I found on the streets, a large bazaar organized by the merchant’s guild was just around the corner.

There might be some hints there.

「Ah, this is great!」

The bazaar was crowded with people.

The lively chatter and bargaining could be heard from all over the place.

One merchant called out to me, who was looking around the bazaar in a hurry.

「Hey, welcome! Please visit my store!」

「Oh, okay.」

She’s a catkin.

Then I thought, “could she be the girl from last night?”.

However, she turned out to be a different kind of catkin. The girl from yesterday had fluffy white hair and a bushy tail.

The one with ears flicking in front of me had red hair and a short fur tail.

「My name is Mia. I’m the best merchant from the merchant guild “Golden Road”.」

「Heh, so you’re someone with ability.」

「Of course! Behold, my stocks!」

Lined up in a row are glass bottles of various colors.

There were things written like efficacy and price which are easy to understand and even stylish.

「Potion?」

「Potion is in short supply these days but you can find it here, at Mia’s place!」

「There’s a shortage?」

「The highest grade potion that can be bought in the market, high potion, is not available. The mercenary guild, exploration guild, and other combat-oriented guilds are very tense.」

「What’s the reason for that?」

Speaking of potions in the Guild Autonomous Region, I heard that the medicinal guilds manufacture and sell them. Did their workshop explode or something?

「There’s a shortage of raw materials….the raw material of high potion, red berry, was destroyed by both drought and storm….there are still some that can be harvested in the wild but compared to those who grow in the field, their medicinal effect is lesser.」

「I see. Is this what you call red berry?」

「Yes, that’s it! This is the berry Mia is willing to die for.」

There are bright red berries on display at the store.

I decided to buy it.

The price is one silver coin.

Five thousand yen for a single berry is a lot of money.

「Thank you very much nyaaa!」

「Is it the market price?」

「The price is still rising. Normally, a cup full should only cost around three silver coins at most.」
