As Long as You Have the [Shop] Skill, the Dungeonized World Is a Breeze ~The Bullied Youth’s Payback Lifestyle~

p>For some reason, many creatures would always take a sniff like this before trying something.
Foods with strong smells could be tasty, but the opposite could also be true.
Despite that, they still judged the taste of something by its smell.
I felt that it was a rather interesting habit.
Well, I didn’t really care about such a thing right now.

Yaichi’s wife hardened her resolve and took a deep breath before bringing to her lips and draining it in one go.
Then, the same exact glowing phenomenon that happened to Kanna occurred.
Eventually, the luminescent phenomenon surrounding her faded.

With a light clink… his wife slowly put down the glass bottle.

“”

Silence enveloped the room as everyone held their breath.
And then, it was Yaichi who was first to interrupt the stillness.

“W-Well? How is it, Sayuri?” (Yaichi)
“….The pain is… gone…?!” (Sayuri)
“….Huh? T-The pain is gone? You said the pain is gone!? W-Wait, let’s bring you over to the sink first!” (Yaichi)
As expected, he couldn’t unbandage his wife here, so he took his wife with him and left the room.

After a while―

“Whhoooooaaaa!?”
Suddenly, Yaichi’s shouting echoed throughout the house.
The children also ran over, and soon after, they all began to celebrate loudly.

A few moments later, Yaichi vigorously rushed back to the living room, grabbing my hands and bowing his head to me in gratitude.

“Thank you, thank you, thank you so, so much!” (Yaichi)
By the look on his face, I could tell that everything had gone as planned.
His wife quietly entered the room after him, tears streaming from both of her eyes.

Wow, she really is beautiful.

His wife was so beautiful that she could have been an actress.
Under such circumstances, it was probably even more painful for her face to become ugly and disfigured.

Anyway, I was glad that the drug had worked for her.

In fact, what I had given her wasn’t the [Elixir・Mini].
It was the [Aurora Potion], which was a high-level potion that was effective for all injuries.

Compared to the [Elixir・Mini] which cost ¥15,000,000, the [Aurora Potion] was dirt cheap, costing only ¥1,000,000.
I desperately tried to hold down the smile that threatened to rise to my face from being able to reap such a fat profit.

After that, it played out similarly to how it had gone with the Fukuzawa family.
They all thanked me profusely, and a cheerful mood spread throughout the Tanaka household.
Infected by the atmosphere, the children were also crying tears of happiness in their mother’s arms.

After they were finished with their celebrations, I spoke to Yaichi and asked him if there was a place we could discuss in private.
He led me to his study, and I asked him to show me his bankbook, just like I had with Jouichirou.

In a great mood, he brought his bankbook over without any hint of suspicion whatsoever.
It was a bit anticlimactic, but as expected, when ¥150,000,000 disappeared from his bankbook, he asked me how I did it.
Just like with Jouichirou, I was forced to convince him that it was a secret of the Torimoto family.

At any rate, I’d managed to consecutively pull off great business deals with the Apostles of Peace and now this.
It was really going along nicely. Ah, no.
Wait.
It’s at times like these that I need to be careful to not get carried away.

In situations like these, it was common to get swept up in the flow and end up going too far with a bad decision, resulting in failure.
If anything, continuously earning huge benefits like this could actually end up being a drawback for me, for this very reason.

It was precisely because things were going well that I needed to focus and be careful.

After that, he asked me if he could treat me to a meal as a way of showing his thanks, but I declined, saying that I had some personal business to attend to.
Afterwards, I asked Akito to drop me off back to the Fukuzawa residence.
I had another important business negotiation coming up tomorrow, so I couldn’t afford to loosen up just yet.

The next day, however, Akito visited the Fukuzawa residence again.
His face was deathly pale, and Jouichirou, who happened to be taking the day off at home, asked him what was wrong.

When I heard the reason, I was stunned into silence.

And that was because―Akito told us that the Tanaka family had been attacked, the entire family murdered.
