Chapter 8: Talking About the Business
The girls reminisced about the time they first started working with Liria on the business.
“We are truly fortunate. It is our turn to work when Princess Liria starts her new business.”
“That’s right. I remember when Princess Liria first gave us jobs as Elves.”
“Back then, we were so grateful. Princess Liria is so kind and adorable.”
They reminisced about the time they first started working with Liria on the business.
Liria told everyone about her business, saying she wanted to share the coffee she had developed with the Elves.
It wasn’t that difficult to do, and since it promised significant profits, all the Elves decided to participate in Liria’s business.
Eleas Coffee spread across Selenia, and the Elves received considerable wages.
Liria began to mint the Liria Gold Coins she had designed in earnest, and gifted the Liria Gold Coins to all Elves.
The number of Liria Gold Coins was one of the greatest sources of pride for the Elves.
Liria was not only a benefactor to the Elves but also the cutest and most adorable princess in the world.
Liria explained her business plan to the Elves currently working in the coffee farm.
“On Earth? Liria has supplied to Selenia before, hasn’t she?”
“Indeed.”
It was revealed that Eleas Coffee has a mana recovery effect in addition to its efficacy, and Elia told Liria that she should either raise the supply price or reduce the supply.
Thanks to Eleas Coffee, the price of mana potions across Selenia began to plummet dramatically.
Mana potions could not compete with Eleas Coffee, which was delicious, had fatigue recovery, and could recover mana.
Liria set the amount each individual could purchase per month, and chose a method where the price increased in stages if they bought more than that.
The common people bought small amounts at the original price without the price rising, and those with money, merchants, nobles, and royalty could buy more than the set amount by paying extra.
To prevent reselling, Liria declared that if humans other than Elves resold, she would stop supplying.
In the end, if they couldn’t buy raw beans or drank them all, the only option was to use the cafes run by the Elves.
It was revealed much later that the mana recovery effect of Eleas Coffee and mana potions overlapped.
Thanks to this, the price of mana potions could return to normal.
But she couldn’t fix the raw bean price as before, and the price increase based on purchase volume continued.
This was because the price of mana potions was higher than that of Eleas raw beans.
“On Earth, does Liria not raise the supply price according to the quantity purchased?”
“On Earth, there are no humans with mana.”
“Ah, then I don’t need to raise the price.”
“Indeed.”
Although the amount sold decreased after the mana effect of Eleas Coffee was revealed, they could earn more money than before.
Moreover, by selling small quantities to common people at the original price, many people felt gratitude towards Liria.
If it had been a greedy merchant, they would have raised the price significantly, and common people would not have been able to even see Eleas Coffee.
Thanks to Liria, humans were protected from the price of mana potions, and they could drink Eleas Coffee.
“On Earth, there are no humans with mana, so perhaps they will supply even more than Selenia.”
“Indeed.”
The Elves thought that Liria doing business on Earth was amazing.
The Elves’ coffee farms were worked by Elves rotating every two days.
After a day’s work, they could rest fully for a day, and the work itself was magic for Elves, making it extremely easy, and it was called a dream job for Elves.
Liria not only provided jobs to all Elves fairly through rotation but also paid incentives for the profits, so the Elves were extremely grateful to Liria.
Even though they worked every two days, they earned more revenue than 6-star adventurers in terms of time.
Currently, the biggest reason for Elves to be adventurers was not money but boredom.
Thanks to Liria, the adventurer Elves who became rich increased the quality of their equipment, and they no longer got injured.
Above all, it was one of the hobbies of adventurer Elves to show off the Liria Gold Coins to humans.
It was also the case that adventurer Elves gave the Liria Gold Coins, which Elves cherish, as gifts to the person who saved their lives.
Liria took out the Liria Gold Coins from her subspace and gave one to each Elf.
“Wow, thank you. Princess Liria.”
“Wow. Thank you. Princess Liria.”
“Princess Liria, thank you. Hehe.”
The Elves who received the Liria Gold Coins had smiles on their lips.
Suddenly, Liria giving out Liria Gold Coins was unimaginable.
They had only listened to Liria’s business story, and Liria thought they were big-hearted.
“This makes 10. Now, among the Elves, I have the most.”
“I also have 10. Now, we are joint first place.”
“Tsk, envious. I only have 9 now.”
Silvia, who heard the stories of the Elves who received the Liria Gold Coins, lifted the corner of her mouth.
If they knew how many Liria Gold Coins she had, how surprised those Elves would be?
The Elves who saw Silvia’s appearance wondered how many she had.
Because they were the top among Elves, but it was known that Silvia had the most.
How many Liria Gold Coins does Silvia have?
It was the biggest curiosity of the Elves.
“Princess Silvia, how many Liria Gold Coins do you have?”
“I? Hehe, it doesn’t exceed three digits.”
“Three, three digits?”
The Elves were surprised by the word three digits.
At the beginning, when Liria tried to trade with Liria Gold Coins, they had traded 1:3 with the gold coins they had, which was quite a lot.
After trading several times like that, Liria stopped using Liria Gold Coins, and since then, they hadn’t earned much.
Still, since it exceeded three digits, probably no Elf had more than herself except Liria and the Eleas royal family.
“Still, Princess Liria probably has the most, right?”
“How many does Princess Liria have?”
Liria used most of the revenue from coffee to buy gold and fantasy minerals.
She used the gold purchased to make Liria Gold Coins.
She could melt the coins to use, but the coins contained a tiny amount of other metals.
It was better to use the gold itself without the hassle of melting the coins.
“Liria has an uncountable amount.”
“So many?”
“Princess Liria probably gave about 10 to all Elves, so she probably doesn’t have that much.”
“I was really happy to have 10 this time.”
“Now, I decided not to make any more.”
“Yes, sister Silvia.”
“Making them is really troublesome, isn’t it?”
“Yes. Sister Silvia.”
Liria recalled the time she was making Liria Gold Coins.
She had put in two hours every day for coin production, which was really troublesome.
Moreover, the work of engraving pictures on the coins was important in drawing skill.
Fortunately, Liria was relieved that her drawing skill was good.
“I gave one to a friend who saved my life during my adventurer activities, but I have no regrets.”
“I wouldn’t have been able to hold back either.”
“I think I would have given at least one.”
Liria didn’t understand why the Liria Gold Coins were so popular.
It was just about 30g of gold, right?
Liria thought the value was just three gold coins.
Liria was missing one thing she didn’t know well.
There was no one who could engrave perfect pictures on gold coins like Liria.
Dwarves didn’t have such delicate drawing skills.
Moreover, using preservation magic, it was hard to scratch them.
Above all, because Princess Liria, the idol of all Elves, made them herself, the attachment was even stronger.
Although Liria had an enormous amount of Liria Gold Coins, since she didn’t use them as currency, there was almost nothing to spend.
The only one who could produce Liria Gold Coins was Liria, and she said she would stop making them from now on.
“Then, please tell the other Elves well about Liria’s new business.”
“We believe in you, Princess Liria.”
“I will definitely pay the Liria Gold Coin value. Princess Liria.”
“Of course. We will tell all the Elves.”
Liria decided to go to the Dwarf workshop next.
She planned to newly produce a coffee machine to be used in the Earth cafe.
Liria moved to the Dwarf workshop with Silvia using spatial movement.
The Dwarves discovered Liria and their faces lit up.
“Has Princess Liria come?”
“Princess Liria.”
“Princess Liria, what business is it?”
“I came too.”
“You came?”
“You came?”
“You came?”
Silvia accepted the Dwarves’ jokes.
When the Dwarves gathered, Liria explained about the business she would do on Earth.
For that, a special coffee machine was needed.
The coffee machines currently in use were for three cups.
There was also a 10-cup coffee machine, but she wanted something larger than that.
Technically the same, so by making it larger in size, it was possible.
Liria gifted one Liria Gold Coin to each Dwarf and agreed to take the large coffee machine.
The Dwarves, upon receiving the Liria Gold Coins, smiled with mouths split wide.
“This is ready. Sister Silvia.”
“Thank you. Liria.”
“Please take care from now on.”
Liria said while hugging Silvia.
Silvia smiled brightly and hugged Liria tightly.
“Enjoy yourself on Earth from now on. Hehe.”
“Yeah. Let’s do that, Liria.”
Liria didn’t do work herself, but she planned to visit often.
Her purpose in Selenia had been achieved, and now all that was left was to wait for the opening.
