Using the teleportation gate installed at the depths of the dungeon of Big Tree Village, we arrived at Youko’s mansion in Village Five.
There is a room where Futa was staying near the teleportation gate of Village Five so we went there….ah, she welcod us.
「Sorry, am I bothering you?」
「No, my job is managing the teleportation gate. Today is….the day of the auction. Are you going to participate?」
「I was invited.」
「I think there won’t be a problem even if you refuse.」
「Don’t say that.」
「Okay.」
Futa is writing sothing on the record.
「Like always, your companions are Gulf and Daga.」
Gulf and Daga, who were waiting behind , bow to Futa.
「Nice to see you too. Do your best in escorting village chief.」
Personally, I think that having an escort is unnecessary but….it seems like it is.
I already gave up on this aspect.
I took a purse bag from a box placed near the doorway of the room where the teleportation gate is located. I packed dium copper coins, large copper coins, silver coins, and gold coins in it.
I’m going to use them for shopping in Village Five.
Basically, if I’m going to shop in Village Five, paynt will be billed at a later date.
It is called tsuke paynt.
I thought it would be easier to trade on the spot but once you don’t have money in hand, I won’t be able to buy anything.
If you’re a trustworthy person, it seems like you don’t even need to pay money on the spot and will generally be billed later.
My stores in Village Five, the Kuro and Yuki, Bronze Café, Korin’s Sweet Hall, and Niz’s Alcoat also accept tsuke paynt.
The Noodle Shop Britoa is an exception because it introduced a al ticket system.
Also, I learned that cash on delivery is common.
Thinking about it calmly, Goroun Company is also like that.
Because of that, I always shop by tsuke paynt….
But a problem arises.
No one’s sending their bills.
As for why, they said that they can’t take my money because it’s all because of that they can run their business with peace of mind in Village Five.
I feel happy but business is business.
It turns out that it’s not only ….no one sends bills for paynt when Loo, Tier, Youko, the elves, the mountain elves, and the dwarves shop.
Because of that, I thought tsuke paynt is not for us.
I then instructed the villagers of Big Tree Village to pay whatever they bought on the spot.
Fortunately, we are not troubled with cash.
The result is this purse bag and cash.
The sa goes for Gulf and Daga. They have their own purse bag with coins.
The villagers of Big Tree Village accepted it but they also thought it was sowhat laborious.
In addition, Youko and the Goroun Company strongly recomnded we continue to pay on the spot since it is a good thing for cash to flow to the market.
However, there’s a problem with this as well.
In order for rchants to accept our cash paynt, we have to say “Keep the change” so as to not cause trouble to the other party.
We have so much cash that we don’t need any spare change but as a common citizen, I’m not used to it.
I envy Gulf and Daga who can do it calmly.

By the way, the children are not allowed to freely pack their own purse bag and there’s an upper limit.
They have to be trained on the value of money.

I greet the gatekeeper and go out of Youko’s mansion.
Since Youko is in the Village Hall, I’ll go there to show my face.
If I don’t show my face when I co here, she will sulk.
While waiting for the auction to begin, I received information about Village Five from Youko.
What’s showing in the theater?
Love story?
Yeah, but not now.
How about the event facility….today is a group battle. 30 vs 30.
There are a lot of spectators too.
Being injured can’t be helped but make sure no one will die.
Am I going to watch?
No, I won’t.
If I go, they’ll go all out, right?
It would be better if I won’t watch it.
How about the dicinal herb house?
It is full of patients?
Ah, a lot of people are gathering there after hearing rumors?
I won’t go there. I’ll just get in the way.
Do they have enough manpower?
What if I go there and help….ah, no, I will only bring confusion.
I’ll do my best to not go to the dicinal herb house.
Apologize to Loo?
The dicinal herbs that Loo cherished were used for treatnt?
Life first.
It can’t be helped.
I’ll personally tell Loo.
…..
Hair growth dicine?
Ehto….people have trouble of their own.
Let’s just say it was used to treat a dark disease.
Yeah, let’s use that story.
Let’s go to Kuro and Yuki for now.

Why did Youko accompany us?
No, it doesn’t matter.
Kuro and Yuki is thriving.
But there’s still an empty seat.
We ordered drinks and relaxed.
「Village chief, if you want to, I can tell you the items that will be in the auction.」
「Ah, I was already told of the eye-catching products I’ll probably buy so there’s no need. The goods were chosen by Loo by the way.」
「If that is the case, I’m relieved.」
「You’re rude. Or so I want to say but I made you do a lot of things these days.」
I have to reflect.
「It’s for the sake of the village. No need to say anything. This auction is also the result of that.」
「Right.」
This auction was originally scheduled to take place in Shashaato City.
I don’t really want to participate but I uttered that it might be good to see an auction.
And I said that in front of Michael-san, the president of the Goroun Company, who presides over the auction.
As a result, the auction that should have been held in Shashaato City was imdiately rescheduled to be held in Village Five.
I’ve beco cooperative with this auction because of that reason.
Might be good to see…..
Maa, let’s just look forward to it and not think deeply.
I have to thank Michael-san too for buying an all-ti favorite piece for a high price.
All for the auction.
I spent my ti waiting in Kuro and Yuki.

Side story.
When we were about to leave the store, I left a silver coin on the table and did not forget to say that line.
「Keep the change.」
「Ehto….Village chief, did you perhaps sold this store?」
That was Kinesta, the assistant manager.
「No. I’m just practicing.」
I have to get used to it quickly.

AN: Tsuke paynt is a system where you’ll be billed at a later date for all your purchases at a date range.
In modern tis, custors will often be asked for paynt but in Isekai Nonbiri Nouka world, the most convenient form of paynt is tsuke paynt (no need for cash and only a number of people can calculate.).
If you don’t have credit or a first ti custor(no introduction letter), you will have to pay cash. It is annoying and you’ll be treated roughly.
Of course, you shouldn’t tsuke pay a store you don’t know.
There’s a high possibility of being charged with an exorbitant price later.
In short “paying cash = don’t trust” so forcing rchants to accept cash has a negative impact on village chief.
However, by saying “keep the change”, he is informing the store that “It’s not that I don’t trust you. There’s a reason for this. Please accept it as a nuisance fee” which beca positive.
Youko strongly recomnding paying in cash is by no ans to dean village chief. She’s just aware of the severe outflow of money which has been discussed several tis already.
