Chapter 64 – Contacting suppliers.
However, Nahida wanted to maintain his focus. He had to stay focused on his supermarket, opening in a few days. "And while I focus on my market... keep saving points."
The points Nahida had accumulated were already in the hundreds.
"Nazuna, I'm going to your world to see how the market construction is going. While I'm doing that, can you take care of it for me?" Nahida handed the notebook Matsunada had given him to Nazuna.
"What should I do?"
"While you take care of the reception, I want you to use my cell phone and call all these numbers. Next to all the numbers, there are the products they sell. Ask for everything."
"Are you sure? Isn't that too much?"
"I want to sell everything in my market, so it's ok. Here's the address of my hotel. Give them my address." Nahida wrote the address of his hotel in the notebook to help Nazuna.
"I don't know if I'll be able to do that..."
"Don't worry, I'm sure you can do it." Nahida smiled and opened the door, leaving Nazuna speechless. She didn't know how she was going to do it, but she still called the numbers as Nahida instructed.
He showed her how to use the cell phone.
Nazuna called the first number. It was the number of soda (coke, Pepsi, etc...) supplier. He was selling all kinds of soda and even beer. Nazuna didn't know what to order, so she asked for a box of each product.
She didn't know if the amount she ordered was too little or too much, but she kept calling one contact after another and placing several orders.
'I hope I don't make a mistake...'
Joulan was standing next to her, not understanding anything. He didn't understand what that cell phone was, and he didn't understand what Nazuna was talking about either. However, he found it interesting to listen to Nazuna's conversation with the suppliers.
As she had the volume up, he could hear everything.
'That thing called Doritos caught my attention.' Joulan thought.

Nahida arrived at Rimuru's house and was taken by a goblin maid to the meeting room. Was only Rimuru at the table, and standing behind him was Shuna. When Nahida entered the room, Rimuru smiled at him.
"Ah, Nahida, welcome."
"What are you doing?"
"I'm just reading some documents. It's not that important."
"What do you mean it's not important, Rimuru-sama?!" Shuna said to him.
"Shut up, Shuna. So, Nahida, what brings you here today? Are you here because of the market? If that's why you're here, know it's almost ready." Rimuru jumped up from his chair, and Nahida followed him.
They headed outside.
"The place where the market is built is very well located, right? It's close to my house. It will become quite popular easily."
"Hm, you did as I asked. Two floors and you've also made a wooden board with the name of the market... Market from another world. It's a good name. You can interpret the name in two ways."
"Yes. You can interpret that it is a market from another world, and you can also interpret its name as being the best market in the world. In other words, a market so good that it's otherworldly."
"Exactly. But it's quite a simple name. Should I have thought of something better?"
"No, that's good. I'm sure the name of this market will spread quickly." Nahida entered the market with Rimuru. Everything had been built as he had asked, several shelves.
Magic-based freezers had also been built. Nahida would sell various frozen items, so a large freezer was a must. "It's bigger than I thought. You can fit a lot in here."
The second floor would be where Nahida would sell accessories and other items. The first floor would only be for food products, and the second would hold everything else.
He was thinking of even selling clothes. However, he still needed to get contacts for clothing suppliers.
"Are you really going to get everything you want to sell here?"
"You've given me a lot of money, so it won't be a problem. I've asked Nazuna to contact the suppliers while I'm here. I'm sure she's already talked to many of them."
"I see. But that's it... I don't have anything else to do here. I hope you can take care of the rest."
"I hope so too..."
"You don't sound very confident..."
"I'm confident but also afraid of it going wrong."
"Does that even make sense?"
"I guess so? But now I should go back. I shouldn't leave Nazuna to take care of everything on her own. You can go back and read the documents. I'm sure it's something important."
"They were some letters that came from some important people. I'll talk to you about it later."
"I'll look forward to it."
Nahida said goodbye to Rimuru and went back to his hotel. When he arrived at the hotel, some imaginary flies flew over Nazuna's head. Her brain had practically rotted after talking to so many people.
However, she had done an excellent job.
"Nazuna, hey, I'm back."
"Ah, Nahida! You're finally back! I don't want to call anyone else. Please do so from now on!" Nazuna shouted. Nahida was startled. She seemed to have had a horrible experience.
"How many did you call?"
"Lots of them. But most of them were very stupid. They didn't seem to understand me properly; they changed the prices every second and were sometimes rude. These people nearly drove me mad!"
"Hahaha... But you called a lot of them and got a lot of products. Well done." Nazuna had written everything down in the notebook, just as Nahida had asked. She had ordered various types of snacks, noodles, sauces, drinks... A lot.
But there was still a lot to order. That would be Nahida's job from now on.
So, he spent the rest of his day negotiating with suppliers.
