”Purchase decided, click…” (Mitsuha)

[Colette Sculptures]. I picked some products from the mail-order section of the homepage.

… This is a room on the second floor of the gallery café [Gold Coin]. One of the vacant rooms was cleaned up and arranged as an office. And a computer was installed there. Café these days should be able to put online advertis.e.m.e.nt at minimum otherwise it's out of the question.

…well, that was the pretext. The actual purpose is to buy products from my shop in j.a.pan, [Colette Sculptures], and leave a sufficient proof of the transaction. It to avoid suspicions from the tax audits and the likes and serves as a proof of how a little girl can makes a lot of money.

Under-reporting the taxes aside, No one would ever do something like Over-reporting the tax. Fuhahahaha! …Haaa.

What I purchased this time is the stone sculptures and the wood sculptures that I bought on the other world. And the [Mission Impossible] work that I made using the transfer ability, the intricately intertwined stone artifacts.

(Note: I think it's the stone-chain-ring thing from ch.115, but she doesn't mention any ring in this raw)

No, I'm sure there's other method to make this impossible-looking artifact other than my transfer ability. We're not talking about Hedges' crystal skull here.

(Note: This thing > Crystal Skull)

Wooden sculptures by Lortor, stone sculptures by Tiras. Yes, it is, the young man and the young woman, the artists who rushed to [General store Mitsuha] to seek patronage.

The Purchase prices range from a few small coins to a little less than one gold coins. I planned to sell with the rate of one small coin equal to 10,000 yen. … in the gallery café [Gold Coin] that is.

If you exchange the gold coins for earth money, four small coins will worth around 10,000 yen based on the price of the gold, but that is the [Monetary Value] of gold in this world, if we compare the average income and the cost of living between the two worlds, 4 small gold coins feels worth around 40,000 yen, in other words the [Intuition Value]. Therefore, I decided to match the selling price with the [Intuition Value].

Actually, wheat and vegetables are cheaper on the other side, clothes and luxury goods also more expensive, so you can't compare everything at the same rate. There is an exquisite balance between [Art goods are expensive over there] and [The work of unnamed novice is cheaper over there compared to the earth]. So, I think that it would be appropriate to sell the works of those two at the current market price over there.

Well, even though I looked at the art pieces market, I am but an amateur. So let's not to think too deeply. There is no point in comparing prices between two different worlds.
