Chapter 28 - Chapter 28: Million Interest, Done!

"Otherwise, they just take up space at home and always make me think of the past."

Both Matsuzaka Ume and Yoshinaga Midori knew a little about Kobayashi Itsuki's family situation, so they naturally understood what he meant.

"So that's it. No wonder so many things haven't even been opened."

Yoshinaga Midori suddenly understood, looking at Kobayashi Itsuki with a somewhat complex expression.

Thinking of people through objects, it was normal for Kobayashi Itsuki to want to get rid of them.

"Then let me help you! Don't look at me like this, I have experience selling things!"

Yoshinaga Midori volunteered, saying to Kobayashi Itsuki.

"Teacher Yoshinaga, aren't you going to look around? I'll be fine by myself here."

"It's okay. Selling things can sometimes be fun."

"Besides, Teacher Kobayashi, the things you've prepared don't seem cheap. It'll be very interesting to sell them."

"Then I'll trouble you!"

Kobayashi Itsuki no longer refused. This was a good opportunity to see if he could further increase his favorability. Among the people around him, only Yoshinaga Midori hadn't provided a green treasure chest yet.

"Then let's begin!"

Yoshinaga Midori said enthusiastically, exuding a positive and cheerful aura that could energize those around her.

"Come take a look, come take a look!"

"Brand new, unopened good stuff, selling cheap."

Since he was already prepared to sell goods, Kobayashi Itsuki naturally wouldn't stand there like a block of wood. He actively started calling out to people.

Yoshinaga Midori next to him wasn't idle either. Holding the prices Kobayashi Itsuki had looked up for the items, she was also enthusiastically attracting customers.

At other stalls, many people were selling used goods. Brand new items like Kobayashi Itsuki's were truly rare.

Under their energetic shouts, a crowd quickly gathered in front of Kobayashi Itsuki's stall.

"Is this tent also brand new?"

"Yes, it's never been used once. You can see the packaging bag is completely intact!"

Facing the customer, Kobayashi Itsuki hadn't even spoken when Yoshinaga Midori enthusiastically spoke first.

"And the price is absolutely cheap. A brand new, unopened set like this would cost at least fifty thousand yen in a department store, but now it's only thirty thousand..."

Kobayashi Itsuki watched Yoshinaga Midori, holding his price list, skillfully haggling with the customer.

Originally, Kobayashi Itsuki didn't expect to sell these things for much money. His main goal was just to clear them out and gather a million yen in interest.

For items like the tent Yoshinaga Midori just introduced, Kobayashi Itsuki was prepared to sell it for ten thousand yen directly, as long as it sold quickly. He really had no intention of bargaining.

As Yoshinaga Midori introduced items, more and more people gathered around the stall.

Soon, Kobayashi Itsuki, who couldn't get a word in, also became busy.

Getting goods, collecting money, giving change... If QR code payments existed in this world, they would surely hear continuous notifications from Kobayashi Itsuki's stall.

[XXX received XXXX yen...]

And that was indeed the case.

The tent sold for twenty-five thousand yen.

The camera sold for ten thousand yen.

The coffee machine sold for thirty thousand yen... Items from the system naturally had no quality issues or flaws.

With perfect quality and low prices, the selling speed was truly not slow.

Yoshinaga Midori was quite skilled at bargaining, with an aura similar to Misae when she was on a shopping spree in a department store.

With her help, the flow of customers at the stall hardly ever stopped.

They kept busy until noon, when the number of people at the flea market finally started to decrease.

And the two, who had been busy all morning, finally had time to rest.

"You worked hard, Teacher Yoshinaga. I really owe you a lot today."

Looking at the considerably emptier stall, Kobayashi Itsuki thanked her from the bottom of his heart.

"It's alright. Today was very satisfying for me too."

Yoshinaga Midori wiped the fine beads of sweat from her forehead and said with a smile.

"It's not like when I came before, selling cheap goods and having to haggle for a long time. It wasn't nearly as satisfying as today!"

Kobayashi Itsuki casually handed her a bottle of drink he had opened from a treasure chest, then pointed at the sparse items on the stall.

"I originally thought it would take all day to sell, but I didn't expect it to sell out so quickly."

"It's already noon. After helping me so much, Teacher Yoshinaga, you wouldn't deny me the chance to treat you to a meal, would you?"

"Haha, now that you mention it, I'm hungry too. Then I won't be polite today."

Yoshinaga Midori wasn't the type to be overly modest or affected. She smiled and nodded in agreement.

Kobayashi Itsuki quickly packed up his things, picked up the box, and left with Yoshinaga Midori.

Yoshinaga Midori truly helped a lot this morning; Kobayashi Itsuki wasn't just being polite.

Kobayashi Itsuki had been the one collecting the money, and over such a long time, every amount was etched in his mind.

In just one morning, they had sold scattered items totaling over two hundred thousand yen.

In other words, in just half a day, Kobayashi Itsuki's repayment goal for the month was completely achieved!

After counting the earnings, if Yoshinaga Midori hadn't been there, Kobayashi Itsuki would have wanted to laugh out loud several times.

Choosing to come with Yoshinaga Midori earlier was absolutely the wisest decision.

The two left the small park of the flea market, both feeling ravenously hungry.

Kobayashi Itsuki was not stingy. He hailed a taxi and went to Commercial Street.

A moment later, the two arrived at a Western restaurant.

After simply ordering their meal.

Yoshinaga Midori looked at Kobayashi Itsuki with a hint of helplessness, "Teacher Kobayashi, didn't we order a bit too much?"

"It's alright. We had quite a harvest today, didn't we?"

Kobayashi Itsuki said with a smile, then extended his hand towards Yoshinaga Midori.

"Actually, there's a little something else I prepared to give you."

"Give me?"

Yoshinaga Midori was a little puzzled.

"Yes, this."

As he spoke, Kobayashi Itsuki gently flipped his palm, and a bottle of perfume appeared in his hand.

"Isn't this..."

Yoshinaga Midori looked at the perfume in Kobayashi Itsuki's hand with some surprise.

It was exactly the one she had seen at the stall earlier.

She had been busy selling goods afterward and hadn't paid much attention, thinking it might have been sold when she wasn't looking.

She didn't expect it to still be in Kobayashi Itsuki's hands.

Actually, Kobayashi Itsuki had noticed Yoshinaga Midori looking at this bottle of perfume several times when they were at the stall earlier.

At that time, he had put the perfume away, intending to give it to Yoshinaga Midori as a gift after today's work was done, regardless of the day's earnings.

He had no use for a bottle of perfume, and its value wouldn't be too high if he sold it.

Since Yoshinaga Midori had helped him so much today, it was only right to reciprocate.

Moreover, he could also build up some goodwill.

"Well, Teacher Yoshinaga, you seemed to be quite interested in it, so I kept it."

"I hope you won't be too polite."

"No, this perfume isn't cheap, it's too precious, I can't accept it..."

"If it weren't for your help today, Teacher Yoshinaga, I wouldn't have been able to sell so many things."

"Just take it as a small token of my appreciation."
