Chapter 164 (1/2)

164. Management Meeting

The sold sculptures and the ones that currently on display are, of course, the ones that are air freighted from j.a.pan's [Colette Sculpture] by regular procedures. With this, I have the track record of the product flow. The rest is to pretend that [Gold Coin] suffering dead-stock and sell the art pieces at lower prices that the purchase price, no problem. It is important to say that the [Sales performance is good].

With this, when explaining the business, we can tell the true story rather than a lie. …if we don't speak intentionally, then it's not a [Lie].

In addition, I got the track record that my works sells properly.

”Good good. Good good good good!” (Mitsuha)

Seeing me smirking and nodding satisfactorily, it seems Rudina and Silua are pleased too. …their expressions are hard to read just as usual though.

The selling price in this shop is one tenth of the purchase price from [Colette Sculptures], but it's still around the market price in the other world, so both artist would be satisfied with this.

Well, the price I bought from them has nothing to do with the selling price here.

Alright, after financial report, next is to check the condition of the store.

”Then, how's the store doing? Is there any trouble or something that has to be improved? Or perhaps you have a problematic customer…” (Mitsuha)

” ”……” ” (Rudina & Silua)

Hmm?

Is there something…

”Nothing in particular” (Rudina)

Rudina replied on behalf the two of them, but…

No no.

No no no no no!

Something definitely happened. It's a dead giveaway from their att.i.tude and the previous [Silence].

”Now, speak honestly!” (Mitsuha)

When I glared seriously, Rudina starts speaking with a face that looked like she has seen an impending doom.

”Eeeto, I wonder if they were looking down on us because we're just two girls, but there are a few customers who came to us saying that foreign matter was in the meal and says [Give me consolation!]… Intact Insects or something that don't even have the color of the dish appeared on the plate with nothing left after they completely ate up the meal…” (Rudina)

”Oh, those aren't [Customer], so you can remove them. They don't have to come again… or rather, it's better if they not come again. If the bad people freely come and go, the number of normal customers will decrease. So, does something of sort comes often? Should I remove them? I'm more or less have influence on the police…” (Mitsuha)

To protect Rudina and Silua, I'll use whatever I can to make it happen. Because connection and money should be used. They're meaningless if you don't use them when you should.
