Frontiers ~Chronicles of Bucket-san's Detailed Pioneering~ Chapter 5

「Umm, excuse me」
「Yes? Ah, welcome~」

While enjoying sewing, I was called out to so I answered with a pleasant smile.
But, thinking about it,『Bucket helm』is full face type, so it wasn’t seen. Well, at least perceive the mood, please.

「I would like to ask something…… the producer of this『Copper Bucket Helm』is you, right?」
「Yes, that’s right~ Do you need something?」

The one who called me was a youth in metal heavy armor with bright red hair and a long sword on his waist.

The items I’m selling are lined up on the cloth, so it’s easy to distinct what items are being sold at first glance.

This is the same for the items on the cloth as well. However, if the owner gives permission, you can take it into your hands.
Because I don’t remember giving him permission, this youth is my first buyer!

Although you can confirm the performance and the condition in the window next to the item on the selling list or the sale establishment, you can’t confirm the producer’s name, and you also won’t know at first look.
But, if you sell the ★3 equipment cheaply at the stalls rather than at the stores at this time, the schema of the producer equals seller should most simple to utilize.

「Ah, no, I’m not here to complain. Rather, it’s the opposite. I understood that it was equipment, but this feels quite nice when put on, doesn’t it? Therefore, I was surprised」

「Yes! Because there wasn’t anyone in the beta test who did details in such places…… umm, if…… if you would like」

I see, that’s why you called out to me.
As far as I’m concerned, a regular customer is what I desire, and those who turn their eyes beyond the performance side are most welcome.

「Friend registration, is it?」
「Ah, yes! Is it alright?」

It appears that I was correct in deducting from his dialogue that the youth wanted to register as friends.

And of course, my answer is――

「Of course it’s alright~ As far as I’m concerned, being able to make a regular customer is making me really happy~ Ah, of course, I have no intention on pressuring you, so buy whenever yo u want, okay?」

「It’s I who should say that~」

The friend registration notice comes up when shaking hands and［Accept］［Reject］windows appear.
The friend registration is complete by touching the［Accept］. It’s truly simple.

There are three things you can do as friends, seeing the online status of each other,『Call』and『Mail』.

When confirming the online status of NPC, it says offline when they are sleeping. It goes without needing the explanation in the case of players.

『Mail』is as everyone knows, a letter function. However, images, videos, and items can be attached. It’s a very convenient function.

Besides, I would rather meet in person and make a trade.

「Bucket-san……?」

「T, that’s a unique name, isn’t it……」
「It’s easy to remember, isn’t it~」

Because you can see the name when registering as friends, the youth――Rush-san was immediately surprised by my name, but that’s only natural. I answer him while smiling and knocking on my『Bucket helm』. Of course, he can’t see it. It’s felt.

「Ahaha…… it’s certainly easy to remember. N, by the way, Bucket-san is『Smith』, right?」

「Yes, I have『Copper ore』and such, how about it?」

Because he was selling materials as I have expected, I happily bought them at the market price.
I’m afraid to say that my remaining funds weren’t that much, so I could purchase only the amount equal to the sale of the『Copper Bucket Helm』, but it was still better than buying from the【Pioneer a.s.sociation】so I’m happy.

Because【Pioneer a.s.sociation】attracts pioneers at large numbers, they gather a lot of materials.

Because it’s not like everything can be sold to the NPCs’ shops.

While ignoring the inventory to some extent, they will start purchasing the materials 20-30% cheaper.

Incidentally,【Pioneer a.s.sociation】is selling the bought materials at 20-30% higher prices.

I don’t have the means nor the intention to use it now, though.

「You have saved me. Then, I’m going to hunt again. If I obtain materials Bucket-san needs again, I will be sure to let you know」
「Ya~y, it’s I who should be thanking you~ Do your best at hunting, okay~」

After receiving the materials from Rush-san, he requested me to sell him more of ★3 equipment beside the helm type if I make them.

But, even if Rush-san gets the priority to buy, it’s not as he will absolutely buy.
Because it’s natural that he would buy if he finds an inexpensive equipment elsewhere.

After Rush-san had left, I continued leisurely sewing again…… is what I would like to say, but before I could, the person beside my street stall started talking to me.

「Umm~ if possible…… would you mind selling me that cushion?」
「Ah, sure~」

Although it was not listed on the selling list, because I have completed one before, I sell it together with the cover.
There was certainly no reason not to sell it.

――But, it was serious after that.

Before I noticed, the area around my street stall was buried in people who also wanted『Zabuton cushion』.

Therefore, I decided to begin a business where I would make one if you brought the material.
I wrote［Making Zabuton cushion (Nude cushion and cover). Necessary to bring materials］on a paper and stuck it on the remaining unsold『Copper Bucket Helm』in place of a signboard.

The people desiring one immediately asked what materials and how long it would take, so in the meanwhile, I started working right away on the『Nude cushion』. I can make the covers quickly.
Of course, I add the materials and their quant.i.ty which I forgot to write on the signboard.

Because I can’t make it if people bring fewer materials than necessary.
Unlike when sewing slowly and carefreely, I stressed on the speed while not forgetting to make a proper and careful work.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

Finally, I sold a total of eight『Zabuton cushion』to the owners of the seven stalls near me.

Everyone was thankful that their seating comfort increased and after exchanging friend registrations, the busy time ended.

Because deleting friends is also simple, you can register friends at ease.

Well, that’s in my case, though.

After the production of『Zabuton cushion』settleddown, my pocket situation became warm, so I decided to purchase a few materials.

Because there was not a market price information, I set the price according to the materials used and labor cost, but it was still considerably cheap as people were buying.
Well, the ★4 might have influenced it a bit as well.

The sales of『Copper Bucket Helm』were not good even while even while slowly sewing『Zabuton cushion』and purchasing materials.

In【Frontiers】it’s day time from 6 to 18 and night time from 18 to 6.

Although monsters vary depending on the location, the difficulty increases during the night.

It’s not irrelevant to me who’s in the town, though.
Because I’m currently managing a street stall!

There are quite many pioneers who avoid the night time because of the increased difficulty.

In other words, the busiest season!

My battle starts from now!
I will particularly plead, so people buy the unsold『Copper Bucket Helm』!
