Volume 6 Chapter 305 - Negotiation part 2
"All I can understand is she injects something into the water… I don\'t know why she would use the word \'inject\' when the word \'mix\' should also work…"
Aika heard this and faced the Elf, "Can you mix water and air?"
Riveria doesn\'t know why she would ask something obvious but she still answered her, "No."
"Right… So to make carbonated water, you need to inject air into the water."
"Huh?" Riveria wouldn\'t dare to say that she knew everything, but her hobby of reading books on all subjects for almost a century gave her confidence to know most things. And she knew for sure that air and water couldn\'t combine.
Aika then smiled and turned her head back to Mia, "See that, Mia-san? Even the Elf who seems to know a lot of things can\'t understand the technology that we use~!"
The corner of Riveria\'s mouth twitched. She wanted to say something because of her pride, however, she truly doesn\'t understand what she\'s talking about.
Even her companions didn\'t know what to say to the brazen Aika since technically, she did or say nothing wrong.
Yoruichi and the rest wanted to laugh but also felt a bit of pity towards Loki\'s group. Aika randomly shot her gun and it randomly hit a bystander.
"Why does it sound so impressive when it\'s actually isn\'t?" Sona asked. She knew that as long as you know how it works, you can make carbonated water even with primitive materials.
"It sounds impressive because she just threw them unknown terms and she makes it sound that she knew all of it… She probably just saw it from some random internet post." Yoruichi answered.
Mia stopped and thought for a moment before writing another line on the paper, \'3,000\', "It sounds impressive, but that\'s all I can offer for that drink. More than that, I won\'t be able to sell it."
Aika knew that throwing more random terms would not be effective anymore so she went to her second approach. She wrote down a \'9,400\' on the paper before saying, "Mia-san, you must understand, we\'re not just selling this Cola to you."
Felt intrigued, Mia asked, "What do you mean?"
"We\'re selling a potential brand and a monopoly!"
"?"
"Yes! Due to the high complexity of making these, we can only supply you with a limited amount and we won\'t be able to sell it to other shops nor we have the intention to sell it ourselves! In other words, your pub will be the only one selling this even if it becomes popular! That\'s a monopoly. And for the brand, whenever someone thinks about the Cola, they also remember the only pub that sells it!"
"Hmm… You\'re right… But I can\'t trust just your words. We have to sign a contract through the guild regarding exclusive sales." Mia then wrote a \'4,000\'.
"That\'s fine… No, that\'s better!" A \'9,000\' from Aika, "However, it\'s not just exclusive sales that I\'m offering~! I know that not everyone would like the taste of Cola but still like the bite it brings. So not just Cola, we also plan to create new flavors like oranges and such~! If you can accept this price, then we can also add in the contract that we have to bring our new carbonated drinks to you first~!"
\'5,000\', "That\'s the highest I could go."
Aika stared at her for a moment and decided, \'I guess that\'s it… The final push then.\' She approached Mia\'s side and gestured her to drop down a bit before whispering, "Since you\'re the only one who knew the price I\'m selling this, you can even double it when you sell it to your customers. Since the quantity is limited, we can\'t expect a large volume of sales from this. In that regard, you can just sell this as a limited edition drink and I\'m sure that there\'ll be fans of this kind of drink from wealthy adventurers. 6,000… That\'s our final price. If not, then I would have to negotiate with other shops and surely, someone out there would accept this price for the products and services that we offer."
Mia got back up and closed her eyes for a moment, \'Indeed… Riveria and Ais girl are a big fan of this drink since they\'re not a fan of alcoholic drinks and there should still be lots of people who want it…\' "Fine… I accept. How many did you bring tonight?"
Aika did a guts pose with her success, "The cart on the side of the pub. There are a total of 50 bottles in it."
"Good… Go to the Guild tomorrow and ask them to write a contract based on what we agreed on today. Bring it here and I\'ll sign it." Mia then turned to one of the waitresses, "Ryuu, get that cart and bring it in the kitchen and tell Sry to prepare the ice."
The Elf waitress nodded at Mia and exited the pub.
Aika then grabbed the menu on the counter and celebrated. She then ran towards Yoruichi and the rest, "You guys! I got the money! So order what you want! However, no take-outs and order only what you can eat! And no Senjutsu either!"
Kisuke could only chuckle at her actions, "I\'m sorry about her Mia-san… Looks like she ripped you off."
"Don\'t worry about it… The price is justified. I\'m selling this for 10,000 Valis per bottle." Mia replied with a small smile.
"Ahaha~. Thank you for buying it for a good price~. Since we\'re only Level 1 Adventurers and couldn\'t hunt in the upper floors due to some incident, our only money would be from the sales of these drinks~!" Scratching his head, Kisuke thanked Mia.
Mia was about to say something when both of them heard something, "Haaah~? Since you can make money by selling things, just stop being an Adventurer, weakling."
So after, Kisuke also heard Loki\'s companions, "Bete! What are you doing!?"
Kisuke\'s happy smile turned into a hollow one as he turns around and faced the red face Werewolf man, "My, I didn\'t think someone would bark at my decisions."
The drunk Bete didn\'t like what he heard and stood up, "What did you say, weakling?"
"Why do you care? You egoistic mutt."
Finn, the captain of the Loki Familia warned Bete, "Bete, sit down! Don\'t make trouble here!"
"You\'re drunk! Come back here!" Riveria also followed up.
Seeing this scene, Yoruichi tapped the table with her finger multiple times, and everyone went into alert, ready to move at any given moment.
Mia also wanted to stop the commotion, however, she\'s also curious about this Level 1 who seems to be able to see through her strength.
And the rest of the people in the pub went quiet and waited for a good show. Mainly, beating the arrogant man in Eastern attire for going against a Level 5 as a Level 1.
"You\'ve got guts… Don\'t you know me? I\'m reminding you, I\'m a Level 5. Someone who just became an Adventurer won\'t be able to touch me." Ignoring his companions, Bete stepped towards Kisuke and only stopped in front of him to stare at his eyes.
"Oh~. Level 5~. Sounds impressive~. And a Level 1 won\'t be able to hurt you? Did you get a skill that makes you invulnerable to any damage? Shouldn\'t you get an alias like, \'Immortal Dog\' or something?"
