Would You Like to Buy a Vehicle?
During the period when the highway is closed, the foot traffic to my shop has decreased.
My store sells new clothes at relatively reasonable prices.
I determine the color scheme based on fabric color and occasionally change colors using universal dye, avoiding the individual dyeing process done by other stores.
This efficiency is reflected in the prices, making them affordable.
Additionally, due to Magic Tailoring, mass production of the same clothing is feasible, similar to the bulk sales of identical clothes in stores from my previous world.
As a result, the shop attracts a decent number of customers, and occasionally people wearing my clothes can be seen around town.
However, in the current winter season, everyone is tightening their purse strings.
The number of people with new sources of income is limited.
Only businesses catering to travelers, such as inns, restaurants, and blacksmiths for adventurers, are likely making good profits.
So, while the foot traffic has decreased, I still have a few customers every day.
Customers who come seeking underwear.
They don’t want to buy underwear from a second-hand store, and the underwear in my shop is distinct from what other stores offer.
Despite that, the prices are not excessively high.
Of course, products with frills and elaborate designs are expensive, but those serve more as display items than actual sellers.
They’ve never been sold even once.
Anyway, there are always customers looking for bras and panties in my shop.
So, even in winter, I can’t afford to close the store.
The shop has magic air conditioning, so it’s not cold, but I have to regularly replenish magic stones or recharge the magic power, which incurs significant expenses.
Well, usually, it’s a negligible difference since I usually use my magic power.
While pondering these matters, Alizée came by.
Today, it seems to be for personal reasons rather than a guild assignment, although she claims it’s partly for the guild.
I wonder what she needs?
“Lady Lily, this house has parking space next to it, right?”
“Yes, it does. It was a generous gift from the Marquis for this shop.”
“… Wouldn’t you like to buy a vehicle?”
… Quite abrupt.
Listening to the story, there’s a high-performance magic carriage brought to the Trade Guild, and they are looking for a buyer.
“The performance is impeccable. However, the price is high, and all the merchants are hesitating. Lady Lily, you could afford it, even if it’s a bit expensive, right?”
“You should know my financial situation, Alizée, but… is that magic carriage really worth it?”
“The seller is offering a substantial discount. There’s no way you can let this opportunity pass.”
A magic vehicle, huh?
I felt like it might be too early for me, but if Alizée recommends it, it probably means it’s a good idea for the future.
Can I get a license, though?
