I wondered what kind of things these were, so I ran to my parents and asked for permission…… They said that they had bought this from the merchant guild about ten years ago and forgotten about it.

Fortunately, the inside of the box is magic-preserved, so it seems that the item did not go bad.

‘So, guys, go buy my stuff! Hurry! Cheap, cheap!’

I telepathically send fervent gazes to the children of the buying team.

As soon as the play started, the children who were running quickly stopped in the middle and hesitated, wondering where to go.

‘Just one person is good, so come here!’

I rolled my feet inside, spying (?) at Alice and Nicholas’ store, who was sitting next to me.

Nicholas was selling a notebook with various patterns on it, and in front of Alice were boxes slightly smaller than the size of her palm.

‘I don’t think it’s an ordinary box, is it? Absolutely beautiful.’

The craftsmanship of the fairies was evident from the enchantingly beautifully sculpted exterior of the box.

At that time…….

Finally, the first customer appeared in my writing utensil shop!

It was Jake.

“Hello, Mir. I came to take a look at Mir’s shop.”

“Jake! Welcome!”

I welcomed you with open arms.

Jake smiled and looked at the objects in front of me.

Then, as if in a strange way, he burst out with a small exclamation.

“Wow, Mir. The color of the ink is so pretty!”

“Yes? I was also surprised when I first saw it.”

It wasn’t a lie.

Because it was different from the ordinary inks commonly available in the Empire.

Fluorescent, pink, and sky blue inks were of unusual colors.

There were also sparkling pearls in it.

‘Somehow, it was so unique that it seems to have been discontinued since it was briefly sold about 10 years ago. I’m sorry.’

Meanwhile, Jake looked at the item with a very serious expression, then glanced at the temporary price tag I had written on the paper.

Then he looked a little surprised.

“By the way, Mir, can you sell it so cheaply?”

“Yes? What do you mean by cheap?”

I got a little puzzled.

I don’t think 5 silver coins is that cheap, right?

I thought it was a reasonable price.

“…… I came here with the intention of buying Mir items even if they cost 50 silver coins.”

“What?!”

However, I was rather surprised by Jake’s murmuring that followed.

I quickly corrected Jake’s wrong economic notion(?).

“Jake, no! No matter how much of a play experience it is, we need to make a deal that will satisfy each other. A deal that only satisfies one side is unfair.”

“But, I want to spend all my fortune on anything Mir sells?”

Then Mir is satisfied and I am satisfied, so isn’t it fair?

…… At Jake’s words who tilted his head and asked so, I ran out of words to say.

“Anyway, I’ll buy all these things.”

At that moment, Jake smiled brightly and was about to exchange the model money in my hand for the objects on my desk!

“Wait. I’m sorry, but that’s not possible. I also want to buy something from this store.”

Someone blocking Jake’s voice came from right in front of me.

“Your Highness Ninaina?”

“Yes. It’s me. By the way, would Lord Jake put the thing back down? I want to take a look too.”

At Ninaina’s words, Jake put down the writing instruments that he had meekly swept back into place with a sad expression.

“Well, I like this red quill. I like the pink ink because it’s unique.”

After a while, Ninaina picked out two of her favorite objects and handed me 10 silver coins.

“Well, here.”

“Ah, thank you. Your Highness! Come again…….”

Without realizing it, I almost said hello, ‘Come again!’ but then I shut my mouth.

Apparently, I was too engrossed in the role of a seller in the market play.

At that moment, Jake, who was still standing next to me, said to me with regretful eyes.

“I think I understand why Mir said that.”

“Yes?”

“What I want is what everyone else wants. I can’t be too greedy right?”

Saying so, Jake grabbed the sky blue ink and fountain pen.

“Then I won’t be too greedy and just buy this much. But if there’s anything left, I’ll come back and take it.”

After Jake had made that promise, I thought as I watched him turn around and go to another store.

‘Ugh, Jake. Maybe it’s because he’s smart, so if you teach him one thing, they know ten.’

Somehow it made me happy.

There were some things that made me feel better by selling half of the stuff as soon as the play started.

Suddenly, one or two children were watching in front of Nicholas and Alice’s shop.

But now there was no one in front of my store.

‘Then, shall we actively sell?’

I made up my mind like that, and then I shouted loudly.

“Cheap, cheap! The fountain pen is just 5 silver coins! Ink is 5 silver coins too!”

Hearing that cry, someone walked into my store.
