Chapter 67: Explosive Buying

ON OCTOBER 11, 2022 BY GUTEZAGUTEREZ0980

Ginjiro wakes up early in the morning and makes an explosive buying.

Looking at the souvenir section, I found a set of smoked antipasto.

There is smoked cheese, smoked duck and even smoked cod roe.

I bought them for different reason.

I also bought some of the usual premium yokan and other sweets.

Recently, I feel that I need cooking utensils that are not electrical appliances.

I bought a manual food choppers and whisks, fruit squeezers, manual pasta machines, strainers and mincers.

I looked at my favorite prosciutto store and found that they did not sell any Spanish 36-month aged prosciutto.

Instead, they were selling 24-month aged prosciutto, but if I buy all of them, will they run out of 24-month aged prosciutto too?

Ginjiro became afraid and bought only one 24-month-old prosciutto.

Now that I have more money, I bought a new teacup.

It is a luxury item with blue flowers painted on white pottery.

I also bought saucers, cake plates, teapots and vases.

Next, Ginjiro looked for eyeglasses.

The cheapest pair of glasses with prescription can be bought for three silver coins.

Ten pairs of glasses for men and ten pairs of glasses for women were purchased.

There were also many more expensive glasses that looked good for only one small gold coin.

While I was looking at the variety of glasses, I found a pair of birthday sunglasses with frames in the shape of a cake and candles.

I bought these for a surprise.

The other glasses were tiger-patterned frames, so of course I bought it.

For Cohen-san, I also chose a pair of red, thin-framed glasses with the image of a female teacher.

I don’t know if Cohen-san’s eyesight is bad or not, but these glasses are expected to be enthusiastically supported by a certain group of people.

If you can find such glasses, you have to buy them.

Looking for high-end eyeglasses, I found a brand of glasses that I chose from a cosmetics set.

They were just right, so I bought them for Elsa-sama.

After that, I also bought a glasses case and glasses wipes.

Sebastian came to pick me up after a while after shopping at Net store, so I got on a carriage and headed to the Mainz family.

I thought I’d have coffee with Sebastian first, but I was led to the guest room.

When I entered the room, Priest Werner and Deacon Reynold of the Mainz Cathedral were waiting for me and Cohen-san.

“Ginjiro-san, I’ve been waiting for you. Priest Werner is also here today. I tried to keep Ginjiro-san away from him and I had warned him not to touch Ginjiro, but he was a raccoon afterall.”

I listened to her, thinking to myself, “You are the only one who dare to call a priest a raccoon.”

“That’s harsh. I should put you on the Church’s side when you were still a little girl.”

I don’t know what it is, but they seem to get along.

Deacon Reynolds is keeping his face down, waiting for the conversation to end.

“Ginjiro-san, is everything ready?”

I took out the glasses I had prepared from the item box.

“I have prepared various types of glasses for this time. The way you see will change depending on the part of the lens. First, try to find glasses that allow you to see the letters well.”

Priest Werner immediately proceeds to try the glasses.

For the tiger, I give her a pair of high-end glasses with prescription, saying that they are made by the same company that produces cosmetics, and she seems to like them.

Cohen-san, who does not have bad eyesight, is given a pair of red, thin-framed glasses.

It was a sight for maniacs, but unfortunately, she does not seem to like the glasses.

“This is amazing. I can see the letters clearly.”

Priest Werner is impressed by the reading glasses.

“Priest, with this, it is safe to say that talk never happened?”

“This is also God’s guidance. There is another retiree who has the same problem. Can’t you give him a pair of glasses, too?”

It’s fine to sell them, but I asked Mainz family to wholesale the glasses and have them manage it.

Priest Werner selected five pairs of glasses: his own, one spare, two for the two retirees, and one for loan at the cathedral.

Of course, I also gave him eyeglass case and wipes.

Deacon Reynold also wanted glasses, but it feels like he can’t bring himself to say with this group of people.

I offered to give Deacon Reynolds a pair of glasses as a gift to the tiger, since I am indebted to him for his kindness.

The tiger agreed, and in the end Deacon Reynolds chose a pair of red, thin-framed glasses that Cohen-san did not like.

Glasses change people.

Perhaps because he can now see the scenery around him more clearly, Deacon Reynold’s eyes have shifted from up close to looking into the distance.

His eyes gazing into the distance gives him a confident appearance, and I feel that he has become a better man.

He is wearing red-framed female teacher glasses, though.

“Please come to the church again in the near future. Make an appointment with Reynold. I’m looking forward to it.”

When I shook hands with Priest Werner, it was as strong and painful as ever.

After seeing them off as they were leaving, I’m talking with tiger again.

“Ginjiro-san, let’s first decide on the price of these glasses.”

Cheap prescription glasses cost 3 silver coins, regular glasses cost 1 small gold coin, and reading glasses cost 1 small gold coin.

Deacon Reynold’s red-framed glasses cost 5 silver coins.

Tiger-patterned glasses are 3 small gold coins.

I tell her that the high-brand eyeglasses with prescription, which are the same as the cosmetics, were purchased for one large gold coin and six small gold coins.

“Then I’ll buy 3 small gold coins for the cheap ones, 1 large gold coin for the normal ones, 1 large gold coin for reading glasses, and 10 large gold coins for the rest.”

Ginjiro receives a large bag of money prepared by Sebastian.

I said I didn’t need this much, but she told me that the glasses were worth this much.

“Ginjiro-san, is there anything you’re having trouble with?”

I am happy to hear kind words from the tiger.

“Thank you for caring about me. I don’t have any troubles right now, but if anything comes up, I would like to consult with you.”

With a deep bow, Ginjiro and Sebastian leave the room where the tiger is.

Finally able to relax, we headed to the kitchen for a cup of coffee.

TLN: Time for WN recommendation!!!

This time it’s a tittle that I want to translate long time ago when I started this translation. Maybe there is someone who remember. This WN still on going until today. The reason I didnt pick it yet because too many unnecessary part that make feels like a core to translate. Though I still like reading it and wait for update.

A chill story about Uncle and his niece (100% not grooming). Some little spoiler from me. The Isekai part is like “Gate JSDF“, yeah MC bring isekai person/noble to japan to show the japan mighty power (Chill version). The relationship of the uncle and niece is like “PapaKiki“, the niece lost her parent from airplane accident. The sad part is no one accept her until they left her at orphanage, yet the orphanage cant handle her too. She is like Hanekawa from bakemonogatari, trying hard to be accepted into new family yet they feel creepy at her. She is a kind of genius kids. The story is chill but a lot of legal prosedure of what mc doing. The business part getting big. The gate still secret from japan government but MC not monopolized it, he still seek help from his neighbor and other vilage resident. Also the goods suplier. Most of the story are Japan side. You will know why the vilage resident willing to help him and keep the gate secret after you read it ^^

Btw the reason I bring this wn up again is this ilustration that author put as cover…. not sure LN version will released.
