I have no idea what they where talking about.

I'm happy for them? / I'm sorry for their loss?
from what i understand the guy in suit wants to promote recreational driving. but hasnt told invitees and potential partners what the actual plan was. but he left hints in the type of event he is holding, beer tasting.

mc manage to deduct his plan and location to some extent. but the details and theme isnt set. the idea is to create a car camping ground. which ha low staff maintenance. creating a hotspot for people to travel.

its like how Michelin stars/food review promote people to drive to prominent restaurants, which in turn help michelin sell their tires.

speaking of japanese cuisine, it's really mind-boogling how cheap the foods are in japan.
i live in South East Asian country, where you can argue have one of the cheapest food globally.
but japan's food price is another level.

for example, let's say i buy a large beef bowl from Yoshinoya in Jakarta. it would cost me about Rp. 65.000(tax included). not including drinks. i'd get a decent portion.

now if i buy it in japan, a large portion would cost me 630 yen(tax included), which converted to rupiah is about 63.000. free flow tea included, and i would get significantly more beef.

sure, the price difference is not much, but it still put things into perspective. especially when you factor in that the Japan's yoshinoya gave you more beef than my local one.

😥 To be fair with our current economy everything is pricey.
Some places may gives better deals but the thing is our franchises restaurant aren't standardized

With our government half-hearted programme to boost local delicacy we won't even reach their lowest 💔 hope for the best tho (or worst..)

that, and if i may give my 2 cents, indonesian people don't really care about taste.
they care about cheap prices, big portion, and spicy sambal. that's it.

how did i know? i've tried a passion project. opening a rice bowl cart. great quality, low prices. seriously, my ingredients cost is 50% of my selling prices. while normally, it's 30% maximum even for cheap street side food. for place that sell vibes, it could go as low as 10-15%.

i was hoping that i can escape being in the red by quantity. but people don't want that. 2 months in, i have to change my recipe for karaage by dumping a shitton of MSG into the batter. 3 months in, i add a lot of sugar into my yakiniku beef.

and even then, the pure profit is less than minimum wage. i basically can't compete with the franchise who use crap ingredients whose only upside is the 'discount' on online platform.

admittedly, one of the reason for failing is also because i didn't open it in prime location, like foodie district such as PIK, Tanjung Duren, Kelapa Gading, etc. but those place have such a steep rent i won't be able to provide people with quality food at affordable price.

i closed after 1 year. too much work for too little money.

Thanks for the insight, it's a bit unexpected to find in a manga chapter's comments.

Why did they say "Kyuubishi" instead of Mitsubishi? I thought this manga had the rights to use Mitsubishi's trademark, as the logo on the car and I assume the name as well would be changed otherwise.

You don't normally see this much wish-fulfillment fantasy on the non-isekai side.

I mean i kinda get why they're pushing the suv propaganda, the japanese with their narrow roads dislike big cars in general unlike the us where bigger cars means bigger ego

maybe the author is a naruto fan?

Thank you for the translation!

Am I the only one who finds it a bit odd to sell beer specifically to motorists? It might just be a cultural thing.
¯\_ (ツ)_/¯
