Chapter 2405: Spreading Aftermath
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
In the end, regarding my contract with Akane-san, we settled on me receiving 10% of the profits. Akane-san seemed a little dissatisfied, or rather, it felt like she wanted me to take a larger share, but she also seemed to understand that I wasnt particularly interested in money to begin with, and that I already had more funds than I knew what to do with. In the end, she accepted it.
[Sign here Should I also stamp it?]
[If youve got a seal, Id appreciate it if you used it. Do you have the same kind of seal that Anima-san used for business deals, Kaito?]
[Yes, Anima made one for me and gave it to me.]
Since Anima handles financial management and investments, our household does have an official seal. The one Anima uses is the seal of the proxy of the house, while mine is a slightly more ornate version meant to be used by the actual head at least, thats the official reasoning behind it.
It seems this sort of thing is standard among nobles. Lilia-san, for instance, also has a personal seal that only she is permitted to use, apart from the one belonging to Albert Duchy.
Anyway, I pressed my seal next to my signature, completing the letter of introduction.
[Thanks a bunch. With this, I reckon Ill make a solid profit, so look forward to your share, Kaito.]
[Do your best By the way, Akane-san.]
[Hmm?]
[You said you didnt really plan on getting involved with the Sharon County, but Id like to hear what you think might happen over there]
[Ah, Id like to hear that too. So far, the only thing I can think of is that maybe their place will become trending among the Dragon Kings subordinates, with them having Kaito-kuns recommendation.]
Akane-sans predictions regarding matters related to the Ritch Barony were sharp enough to make me think, as expected of a first-class merchant. I hadnt imagined things would develop like that, so it was extremely informative.
That said, I feel like someone like Marie-san might have a hard time with it, so depending on how things go, I might need to lend a hand somehow But when it comes to land development or trade, an amateur like me interfering could just make things worse. Its a tough call
Well, for now, setting the Ritch Barony matters aside, I wanted to know what Akane-san thought would happen concerning the Sharon County.
[Hmmm, at this point, there are still too many unknowns. Like Kaori said, its all about whether it becomes a trend, but that depends on Kaito liking the finished brush first. Once people like Nidzveld-sama hear Kaitos review and decide to try it themselves, thats when it might take off. If you actually use it and find it lacking though, then itll end right there Anyway, lets talk about what might happen if Kaito does like the custom brush and tells Nidzveld-sama its a fine product, okay?]
[Please do.]
[The first thing that comes to mind is an increase in demand. There are a ton of dragons under the Dragon Kings command, and even if only about 10% of them get interested, thatd still make for a pretty big boom. But, I dunno Honestly, I cant imagine how many dragons would want a custom-made brush. Some probably use magic to keep themselves clean, and Im not sure how many would care enough to get one made just for them. I mean, I dont really understand what dragons think about their scales, you know]
[So basically, its like asking whether wed want a custom comb or something like that, right? Hmm, I think store-bought ones are fine for me. I cant even tell the difference between them, really]
Indeed, as both Akane-san and Kaori-san pointed out, there were still many uncertainties about how many dragons would actually want custom brushes. If you compare it to humans, its like beauty products, I suppose? If someone asked me whether Id want my own personalized version Id probably say no. So maybe, it wouldnt be as widespread or popular as we first imagined.
[If dragons end up being really particular about how well the brush fits or feels, then yeah, it could become a massive hit. But if that happens, the Victor Trading Company wouldnt be able to handle all the orders on its own. In that case, I reckon the Sharon Trading Company would step in. Either theyd buy out Victors rights entirely, or theyd create a new department within the Sharon Trading Company focused on monsters and handle orders there Something like that, I think. Either way, I dont see much room for any other competitors to get involved.]
[But the Sharon Trading Company deals in magic tools, right?]
[Yeah, thats true So maybe the Sharon County might establish a new trading company altogether. They could bring Victor Trading Company fully under their wing, allocate funds to them, and eventually turn it into a monster-related business But like I said before, a lot depends on Kaitos opinion. Im not sure if theyd make any major moves at this stage]
It seemed that Cornelia-san would have her hands full as well, and while I wanted to help somehow, according to Akane-san, there were still too many uncertain factors at the moment.
[By the way, if I do end up liking the brush, should I actively recommend it to others?]
[Hmm, if it stays under the Victor Trading Company, I think theyd get overwhelmed with orders. But if the Sharon County gets involved and sets up a proper trading company for it, theyd probably be expecting large-scale demand anyway, so in that case, Id say go ahead and promote it. Unlike ripples, this is a niche product with limited buyers, so even if Kaito spreads the word all over, its unlikely to cause any unexpected problems.]
[I see, thank you. Ill keep that in mind.]
Fumu, for now, Ill remember Akane-sans advice but in any case, it looks like everything depends on how the custom brush actually feels in use.
Serious-senpai : [I see. So even though there are a lot of the Dragon Kings subordinates, since the target audience is limited, itll probably just become a big trend within certain circles But somehow, I cant shake the feeling that theres some kind of pitfall waiting in there.]
