What?

　I didn't understand the meaning of what Tina was saying.

''This 500 billion spina is the money I saved for Master Hurt.

　When I froze in thought, Tina politely repeated the explanation to me.

　Apparently, I hadn't misheard her.

　Tina said that she had earned five hundred billion dollars for me.

''If Halt-sama says you need it, I'll give you the full amount.

No. No. No, no, no, no!　I mean, that's a lot of money.

　Even though I'm in a noble family now, I've lived in a common family for seventeen years in my former world.

　I'm a common man in terms of money.

　I feel that if I was suddenly handed a large sum of money like 500 billion, I would be going crazy in many ways.

　That's why I refused, but...

Well.....

　Tina faltered.

'Oh, I'm sorry, Tina. I'm so glad you've earned this much money for me. Thank you, really.

　I hurriedly apologize to Tina and thank her, patting her gently on the head.

　Even though it was overkill, it was probably an act of kindness for me.

　I can't let that go unchallenged.

　I thought it was right to work on that effort as much as possible.

''Ha, yes!　I did my best for Master Hurt.

　Tina made me smile.

　Good. It seems the response was correct.


''Well then, the money will remain in my possession as it is, so please let me know when you need it, Harut-sama. If it's less than the amount you just saw, I can have it ready for you right away.''

Oh, yeah, okay. Thanks.

　If I let Tina take out all of my deposits, would it have any effect on the economy of this world?

　The cost of living in this world is about the same as in the original world, but the population is said to be only about one hundredth of the original world.

　Therefore, the amount of currency on the market is small.

　The 500 billion spina owned by Tina is about the same as the original world's 500 billion in value, but in terms of the size of the world's economy, it accounts for a large percentage of the world's economy, so I feel that it would be somewhat bad to move all of her deposits with ease.

　I have studied very little about economics, so I can't really explain how it's a bad idea.

　But my gut was telling me, 'Something's wrong.


'By the way, how did Tina make all this money?'

How do you think he earned it?

　Tina laughs mischievously.
　Maybe she has something to brag about.

　Whenever Tina accomplishes something without telling me, she'll ask me a question in response to my question, 'How did you do it?

　And then, little by little, she'll give me an answer, giving me a hint.

　She always enjoyed the process of getting me to the answer.


''Like................hunting high-ranking demons and selling their materials.

''I've done that too. However, hunting this world's highest-ranked demon, a dragon, will only yield about fifty million spinners. It's inefficient to hunt demons to make money.''

　No, fifty million for a single dragon is efficient enough.........

''Oh, as a premise, let me explain to you that an S-class guild card functions slightly, slightly differently than a guild card of a lower class.

What's the difference?

''Yes, only S-class guild cards can be used to deposit and withdraw spina from any lineage guild.

　Hmm?
　I'm not sure more and more.

　As for what Tina means by that, I suppose she means that the guild card she has can be deposited and withdrawn by the adventurer's guild, the merchant's guild, or the artisan's guild.

　However, I don't see the connection between that and the fact that Tina was able to make a lot of money.


''Then here's a hint. What kind of person do you think has the most money in this world?''

You're going to have money kings and feudal lords.

'Indeed. It is probably the royalty and the aristocracy of each country that have the most money individually. But in the world as a whole, it is the merchants who own the majority of the currency. Even kings and nobles buy their goods from merchants.

　Oh, really?
　.... so?

What does that have to do with anything?

'Yes, sir. Let me give you one more hint. Haruhito-sama, who was a guardian hero, and Kana-sama, a wise man who came here at the same time, had a cheat skill that allowed them to summon items from the world where Haruhito-sama was from to our world.

　Yeah, I know that skill because I've been a part of it a few times.

　Kana was a cheat skill called 'Amazonist', which allowed her to summon food and weapons from her original world at will. By the way, summoning requires a spinner.

　When you live in another world for months, you sometimes miss the food of your old world.

　When that happened, I gave Kana Spina and asked her to summon cup noodles and other items.

　Summoning weapons from the original world is not very useful against demons and is not very costly, so this skill of Kana's was mostly used only for summoning food.


''There are currently many mimics of the food that Kana-sama summoned a hundred years ago in our world that are in circulation.

Oh, so the food in general is better here than it was a hundred years ago?

　I've regained my memory as a guardian hero, so I remembered what this world was like a hundred years ago.

　A hundred years ago, it was hard to find food that could be loudly proclaimed to be delicious.

　But now, there was an abundance of good food in this world as well.

''That's right. The best-selling food of all, and that's mayonnaise.

　Today, mayonnaise has become the second most popular condiment in this world after pepper.

　Its sales are said to be quite large.

'Is that so........'

　Ah!
　What if...

Was it Tina who introduced mayonnaise to this world?

'Hmmm, you're right. Mr. Hurt.

　Tina patted me on the head.

　Lately I've been stroking her more often, but I used to get Tina to stroke me like this a lot in the past.

　It's been a while, but I'm still happy.


　Back to the topic at hand, it was Tina who introduced mayonnaise to the world.

　So, that means it was already Tina who was planning to make a fortune in mayonnaise when I was first reborn?

　It's a little frustrating, but I guess that's okay with Tina.

"And from the sales of that mayonnaise, it means you got the money you showed me earlier.

Yes, but that's not all.

What do you mean?

Have you heard of the H&T Company?

Of course.

　Of course I know.
　It's the largest trading company in the world.

　It's said that about 40% of the world's merchandise is distributed by the H&T Corporation.

So what?　You mean you sell mayonnaise through the Chamber of Commerce there or something?


...the Hurt and Tina Company.

Hmm?

So, H&T stands for Hurt and Tina.

What...?


I made that one.
