Shirou's clones number 30 million

Another world, inside the Yorozuya.

"Hey...! A slime."

Upon seeing the slime that Shirou Shiro was carrying, Lilia immediately ran forward and couldn't help but gently touch the slime with her hand.

"Brother Shirou, is this a slime brought from the fantasy world?"

"That's it."

"A pet?" Lilia's face lit up. "Will you keep it at home from now on?"

"You can keep them if you want, but these are the ones I'm using for exhibits."

Shirou Hakuzawa paused for a moment, then smiled and said:

"In a fantasy world, due to the carelessness of another version of myself, slimes proliferated, causing the Slime Plague."

"To address the issue of having too many slimes, we will be adding a slime sales service to our store from now on."

"Huh...?" Lilia exclaimed involuntarily, "Selling slimes openly, isn't that attracting too much attention?"

"Well... since the evil gods from the Cthulhu Mythos have openly appeared, slimes actually exist in the world, so it's not a big problem."

As the two were talking, Yuri Tensho walked in from outside the door, carrying a tattered rag doll.

He noticed the numerous slimes in Shirou Shiro's arms and his face lit up with surprise:

"Shirou, how come there are suddenly so many slimes?"

"A slime calamity has occurred in the fantasy world... From now on, our shop will offer slime sales as a new service."

"Won't this attract too much attention?" Yuri Tensho asked the same question as Lilia without thinking.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine."

Shirou Shirazawa put down the slimes, leaving them standing there, and asked curiously:

What are you doing with that rag doll?

"This is a request. The third daughter of the Tomoda family asked me to repair it."

"Oh...? This request has come at just the right time."

Shirou Shiro immediately picked up the silver-gray slime from the ground and gestured to Yuri Tensho to put the doll inside.

"What are you trying to do?"

Yuri Tensho looked at him, bewildered, then at the slime.

"Different colored slimes have different abilities. This silver-gray slime is a repair slime. After you put the item that needs to be repaired and the repair material in it, it can repair the damaged thing."

"Really? Slimes have this ability? What materials would be needed to repair this rag doll?"

"The rag doll is just unraveling; not a single thread is missing. No other materials are needed. Just put it in like this."

"it is good."

After completely "swallowing" the rag doll, countless tiny pinholes appeared inside the silver-gray slime, instantly covering the rag doll. After about two or three minutes, it spat out a brand new rag doll.

"It's fixed, take it."

"Wow, amazing! Slimes have such incredible abilities."

Just as she finished her reflection, Tianxiang Youli suddenly realized something and quickly asked:

"Wait a minute, this repair is too good. What if I return it and she doesn't accept it? Rather, she'll probably think I threw away the old one and bought her a new one."

Indeed, there were many signs of washing and wear on it just now, but now it looks like it was just bought.

Shirou Shirazawa pondered for a few seconds and then suggested:

"In that case, let's call her over and show her the amazing effects of repairing slimes, and also give these slimes a shout-out."

“Okay! After seeing the slime’s abilities, she’ll definitely believe it,” Yuri Tensho replied, then asked, “What effects do the other slimes have?”

"The white ones can heal simple wounds, the translucent ones can be used for washing clothes. The light gray ones are rock slimes, which can be used to repair houses, and the light white ones are iron slimes, which can spit out iron blocks after eating iron ore..."

"So slimes can be this powerful? In my mind, slimes were just weak monsters with no abilities, only capable of corroding clothes."

"You're talking about the green corrosive slime. Although its ability is so weak that it can only corrode clothes, its ability will gradually become stronger as it eats more. Because it's too dangerous, it's not for sale."

Will these slimes gradually become stronger?

"Their rate of improvement is slower than a snail's pace, and can be basically ignored. Therefore, when we sell them, we only look at their current abilities."

"I'll go return the doll first, and we'll talk about it later."

"no problem."

After seeing Yuri Amagi off, Shirou Shiro immediately dialed his mother's number.

Compared to herself, she, who has been in business for many years, is the real professional.

"Shirou, why did you suddenly decide to call me? What's up?"

"Mom, I've been running the Yorozuya lately, right? For some reasons I can't go into detail, I've recently added a slime-selling service to my shop. But I don't have any branches yet, I only have one shop, so it's hard to sell too much. I'd like to collaborate with you on this."

"Wait a minute... when you say slime, are you referring to the kind from fantasy novels?"

"That's right, but not exactly the same. The slimes I sell have all sorts of different abilities..."

"Our family is going to be rich! Wait for me, I'm coming to find you right away."

"Our family isn't short of money, is it?"

"Who would complain about having more money? In the past, I could only earn a meager living through hard work. How can that compare to a business that's unique in the world? Don't look for anyone else, I'll book the plane tickets right now."

Chapter 627 It seems I have no way of mastering the secret to wealth.

Chapter 627, Section 628: It seems I have no way of mastering the secrets to wealth.

Due to its unique business model, Yorozuya was not exactly deserted at first, but most of the time there were only a handful of employees in the store.

At that moment, a long line formed in front of the door, stretching all the way to another street.

Despite having been open for several days, the situation has not improved; in fact, it has worsened.

If it weren't for Shirou Hashiba (the shadow clone) always bringing in requests, the Yorozuya's main job would have been neglected, and they would have ended up running a slime specialty shop instead.

Because there are so many customers, employees like Yasuko Takasu are currently helping to serve customers in the store.

Yaguchi Hachiko took a dozen photos of customers in front of the store with his phone, then sent a message to his childhood friend, Ayukawa Ryuji.

[Your store is packed with customers; I haven't seen such a long line in years.]

Although Yaguchi Hachiko also had the idea of ​​buying a slime, the queue was just too long.

Moreover, slime is quite expensive.

The next moment, Ryuji Ayukawa suddenly ran out of the store.

"Eight Tigers, what brings you here? Are you here to buy slime too?"

"Too expensive, I can't afford it." Yaguchi Hachiko shook his head repeatedly. "I was just passing by on my way to find a part-time job. I remember you used to work at a bar, didn't you?"

"The salary is higher here, and a friend recommended me to come here."

"That's right. Selling slimes that only exist in fantasy worlds is a unique business that must be very profitable."

"No, selling slimes is a recent addition; our main business is actually being a general store."

"Huh...? Yorozuya? You mean that urban legend?"

Upon hearing this, Ryuji Ayukawa couldn't help but laugh.

"I never imagined our shop would become an urban legend. Well, it does seem quite like one. Eight Tigers, why don't you come work for us? We're pretty short-staffed lately."

"I'm preparing for art school entrance exams, so I probably won't have time to stay in the shop for long periods..."

"It's okay, this job is very flexible, which is perfect for students like us preparing for exams. We don't usually need to be in the shop; we can take on assignments online or from the shop's display boards, and occasionally we'll get some drawing-related assignments..."

Ryuji Ayukawa thought for a moment, then added:

"Even if you get into an arts university and graduate smoothly, have the Eight Tigers thought about their job prospects afterward?"

"Becoming a professional painter is certainly the best path, but the success rate is definitely very low. In contrast, becoming an illustrator or designer is also a good option."

"The job at the Yorozuya (Odd Jobs Shop) allows me to meet many people and build a network of contacts, which will help me find a better job after graduating from art school."

Yaguchi Hachiko stared at him blankly for a long time, then smiled and said:

“I haven’t thought that far ahead yet, but this job sounds like it would be a good fit for us.”

"Let's go, I'll take you to the store manager."

"Thank you for your help."

Ryuji Ayukawa led Yaguchi Hachiko into the Yorozuya through the back door and quickly found Shirou Shirazawa arguing with someone on the phone. They immediately stopped and waited a short distance away.

Shiro glanced at the two of them, instantly understanding, and continued speaking to his mother on the other end of the phone:

"There's nothing I can do about it, I'm sorry I can't help you."

My mom called earlier to ask me how to split a slime.

Shirou Shirazawa could only deny it.

Slimes will automatically split when they eat something magical in a certain quantity.

Things without magic, once ingested, will be excreted after only enough to sustain life; the rest will not be absorbed at all.

In other words, magic is of paramount importance.

Although slimes are very weak and have little intelligence, they are still creatures of the magical world.

[Don't give me that official talk. Your slime can split, so why can't mine?]

"Alright, then I'll be frank. What I fed the slime was special food that contained a special substance called spiritual energy."

[Huh...? Like the Onmyoji kind?]

"That's right. If you sell out, just get it from the Yorozuya."

[Looks like I'm destined to never unlock this wealth-generating secret. But oh well, if I can't, no one else can. That means the slime we sell will be like a rooster that doesn't lay eggs.]
