Chapter 60 - Business opportunity!

Nahida used the points he had saved to buy five more rooms. However, even after buying five rooms, there were still some points left over that he could use to upgrade things.

"I'm going to upgrade all the beds." Nahida gave a satisfied smile after upgrading everything. Now we're only 120 points left for him to use.

"I can do a second upgrade on one of the beds. Should I try it out?" The price of the second upgrade was much higher than the first.

He would spend 100 points to upgrade just one bed.

"... Should I do that?" Nahida thought for a moment and decided to do the upgrade. He upgraded one of the beds in a room on the third floor. When he arrived, he saw that the upgrade had turned the bed into a much bigger bed.

In other words, there was no space.

Each room had two single beds. If he upgraded the two beds, the room would have no space left.

"This room will have to remain unused for the time being. Unless I remove one of the beds." Nahida thought and decided not to use the room for the time being. At least he wouldn't have to worry about putting air conditioning in that room.

All the air conditioners Nahida had bought had arrived days ago, and he had put them in the rooms. They didn't have air conditioners in all the rooms, so he had to buy more.

'But it was a bit difficult. People from fantasy worlds don't know what air conditioning is.' Nahida had to make a manual to leave in all the rooms.

Nahida went downstairs. He hadn't had lunch and needed to eat. While he ate, Nahida took out a notebook to write down everything he needed to do in his hotel.

[ Buy more air conditioners ]

[ Increase the size of the rooms so I can upgrade the beds ]

[ Improve the bathrooms, which are still too small ]

[ Improve the kitchen so that orders aren't delayed ]

[ Upgrade the tables and chairs so customers feel more comfortable during breakfast, lunch, and dinner. ]

"I think that's it. I don't need to increase the 'dining room' and reception size for now... Yes, that's good."

Nahida will do one thing at a time. The first thing on the list was to buy more air conditioners. But to do that, he needed money.

"I should ask Rimuru for help." Nahida knew that if he asked Rimuru, he would get help to create a source of income beyond the hotel. "The hotel wasn't giving him much money."

Even though the value of one room wasn't the lowest on the market, the money Nahida made could have been better.

"The hotel alone won't be enough. Speaking of which, I have to go out to buy more ingredients today. I'm going to spend a lot of money."

Selling food was the most profitable thing in recent days. His hotel had also been turned into a restaurant. Even though he hadn't put up a sign indicating it, his hotel was treated like one.

"That's another reason to improve the kitchen."

Nahida closed his notebook and finished eating before getting ready to leave. Nahida took a cold shower and went to the market closest to his hotel. He bought everything as quickly as he could.

Nahida returned to his hotel carrying several bags.

He met his neighbor but waved to her and went inside. He didn't want to talk.

"Lucky, I brought the missing ingredients. But what happened here?" When Nahida arrived in the kitchen, it was a mess.

"It's hard to keep everything organized. I'm sorry."

"You should be more careful." Nahida looked at the other chefs. They were talking amongst themselves. "Try to clean up before dinner arrives."

"Right," Lucky said cheerfully.

Nahida left the kitchen and went to the reception area where Joulan and Nazuna were.

"Nazuna, open the door. I want to talk to Rimuru."

"Hm? All right."

Nazuna opened the door for Nahida, and he left. When he arrived at Rimuru's house, he found Rimuru inside the building he was using as a game room.

He was playing "Forza 5", a racing game that Nahida had bought for him. He was playing offline.

"Hey, I want to talk to you."

"I'm busy, don't get in my way."

"I need your help to make a bit of money. Come on, you can pause the game."

"Tsk!" Rimuru clucked his tongue and stood up. "So, what do you want?"

"I want to make money."

"Huuuh? If you want, I can give you some coins." Rimuru made a gold coin appear and showed it to Nahida. But he shook his head.

"I don't want to be dependent on your money. My hotel isn't sustainable, so I want to start another business with your help."

"And what do you want?"

"I have two ideas. A market or a cybercafe."

"A market is an interesting proposal. You can sell things from our world here and also in other worlds. Most fantasy worlds don't have the things we have in Japan."

"That's right."

"But about the cybercafe, wouldn't that be difficult?"

"It would be, so it's the second option. So, what do you think? Do you want to help me? If you help me, I can share some of the income from the market with you."

"I don't need the money. But how can I help you? If you need permission to set up your market in Tempest, I'll give it to you."

"That's not all. I would like you to place my market in other countries. Like human countries or something. Leaving the market only in Tempest won't make much profit."

"What?! Have you gone crazy?"

"No, I'm sure you can do it."

"Hey, I may be strong, but I don't know if I can do it."

"I'm sure you can."

After a long time, Rimuru was finally convinced to help. But in return, he wanted another television, a video game, and many new games to play in his spare time.

Nahida had no reason to refuse. The deal would benefit him.
