"Mister Alphonse, it's all right for you and Christina to make money, but don't you think it's time to do something about the magical tools?"

 It was while Kristina and I were preparing for the recent crash in the magical tool market that has been going on for some time now.

"What do you mean we should do something about it? I know the prices being traded are crazy, but that doesn't mean we can't set the prices for everything.

"I suppose that is true. In fact, the magic tools sold from this new Barca town are sold at the same price as before, but they have been resold repeatedly at a higher price, that is true.

 Yes.

 Originally, this new Barca town made magical tools and sold them wholesale to Banagher.

 Banagher was the main developer of magical tools in the Orient, and I sold all the tools I made only to Banagher so that he could handle all the distribution.

 But recently that has changed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 This is because Ai gave a lecture and Banagher took the lecture.

 After that lecture, it became known that Banagher was not the creator of the clay pot type magical tools.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 And there is no longer any need to hide the fact that the real production takes place in the new Barca town.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 So, we decided to sell the magical tools we made directly to the public, instead of through Banagher.

 By the way, it does not mean that Banagher's reputation has been damaged by this.

 In addition, it is not unusual for Banagher, who was also a member of the Diet at the time, to lend his name to the company.

 In fact, it is said that Banagher is a foresighted person because he had a relationship with us who had the technology to develop magic tools before us.

 So now we sell the magical tools we manufacture in New Barca Town ourselves, but we don't set the price of the tools that high.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 The reason is that the prices are set based on the prices at the time when Banagher was actually selling them.

 However, if that were the case, the price would be out of line with the current market price of magic tools, which has skyrocketed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 Therefore, the magical items we sell are immediately bought up, and then traded at a higher price elsewhere.

 I don't think this is a very interesting situation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 Because the prices are several to dozens of times higher than the selling price of the tools made in the new Barca town.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 Of course, we, the makers, do not receive any of that money.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 It is natural that it is not interesting, since the resellers are supposed to receive a large amount of money in their pockets.

 However, I also wondered if we should set a higher price when we sell them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 After all, the price will collapse in the near future.

 If they raise the price sharply because of a sharp rise in price, and then sell the product at a price lower than the original price because of a sharp fall in price, I think it would be bad for the credibility of the company.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 In that case, it would be better to keep the price the same from beginning to end, so I have not changed the price that much, but I am not sure if that is a good idea or not.

 On the other hand, it is also said that it is not good to suspend sales.

 According to Mr. Ai, this is because it would damage the liquidity of the market.

 Right now, there are many people who want to buy and sell magic tools, which is why they are being traded even though the prices are rising.

 However, if the supply of magic tools decreases, no matter how many people want to buy them, they will not be able to buy them.

 If this happens, the price will stop rising and may fall into a crash at once.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 Therefore, the situation is such that we cannot stop the sales, although we would like to postpone the crash a little longer.

"Or rather, I see. I've been thinking about buying land after the market price has fallen, but I should also consider the price of magic tools. Maybe we won't be able to sell it even at the current price.

"Hmm. What I want to say is that there are a lot of fake magical tools these days, that there are a lot of fake magical tools. They are sold at a high price, and are called magic tools. You are aware of this fact, aren't you, Mr. Alphonse?

"Normally, such items would not be looked at, that they are not. But in reality, they are sold at a very high price, that they are. This is because people think that the price will go up just by having it now, but what if it doesn't? I have a feeling that the reputation of all magical tools will fall to the ground when I see them become worthless in an instant, that I do.

 In short, it is good to be in a frenzy, but when the frenzy dies down, the magical tools may be looked upon with a harsh eye.

 That is, there is a possibility that just because it is a magic tool, it may be perceived as a "stinky item".

 Nowadays, magic tools are recognized as a money-generating tree whose price goes up just by having it.

 However, it may be reversed and people may say that magic tools are dangerous commodities and trying to buy them is an act of greed and destruction.

 For what it's worth, we of the Barka Mercenaries have always been able to maintain a strong fighting force because of the profits from the manufacture and sale of magical tools.

 Maybe we should do something.

 Listening to Garius, I realized that we need to take measures not only for the purchase of land, but also for the credit of the magical tools.
