good enough for me. Just sounded like a ridiculous amount but I guess that's just how it is lol

Even in isekai-land, you can't escape high real estate prices, but at least Taichi doesn't have to worry about money issues

Although with that amount of money maybe he can even take in more creatures that aren't necessarily tamed/specifically for the cafe and adopt them out tho other than ppl that also have taming skills, other than berry rabbits as pets, i imagine it'd be hard for an 'average' person to have a pet versus a creature that'd fight along side an adventurer. or something like a horse or mole that taichi can ask ppl to help with transportation/construction or some magical carrier pigeons lol

oh believe me Ik how prices are. 23 just seemed too high. I was estimating around 15 mil instead based on prices we've seen so far lol. but yeah not like he has money troubles so it's whatever xD

H

It may not me impossible for them to mate and have offsprings, since they aren't animals but monsters. If it is possible, then imagine the cute monster designs we will get

Hmmm Do I see a new bread of mon? A Crystal Cat? A Forest Hedgehog?

If anything, 23M are way too low; like, at least an order of magnitude low. We know that a daily salary for unskilled labour is 25'000, so you need only 920 days of work to buy it: if you compare it with the average salary in the US (18.73$/h) it comes at 138'000$. Even at the 1 cheles = 1¥ exchange it is 146'000$. For a commercial property with attached land.
It's the rent that's INSANELY LOW: 75$ for a month...

That's with today's rates. The wage wasn't always 18.73 so those numbers could be completely different. It should actually be a lot lower which makes the 23mil awfully high for the lower rates they would have. But since we don't really have any rates to go off of in the story itself, calculating it is pretty much speculation.

It's because the rent was so low, that I assumed 23 mil was a high amount. But again entirely speculation at this point. It's irrelevant with how much money the MC has anyway. ¯\(ツ)/¯

There are many problems with your assumption: first of all, we DO have in-story conversion rates. The author himself has confirmed the moronic 1 fantasy coin = 1 yen conversion when he payed the cat god, so it should be perfectly fine to use it to point out how stupid it is in the first place.
Second, prices may vary, but the manga was published 3 years ago, they haven't changed THAT much.
Last, but not least, the point is not the number itself, but the ratio between that number and the other numbers the author also provided: namely, that such a big commercial building with annexed land and living area could be sold for 920 times the daily wage for entry level unskilled labour. If you make a bit of research, you will see that restaurants, inns and similar buildings are priced between 10 and 50 years of unskilled wage, all through history: I personally checked 1st century Rome (30 years of a scribe wage for a 4 rooms taberna), 16th century Italy (17 years of a carver wage for an inn outside Florence) and my local area today (from 10 to 50 times the yearly wage of the average food and service worker, depending on the size and location of the restaurant, all of them at the ground floor of a bigger complex, without annexed living area).
The rent situation is even more ridiculous: you can either stay at the inn for three days, or for 20% less you can rent the whole building for a month. All of that for the price of a flower bouquet, or twice the city's entry fee?

Also, MC doesn't have THAT much money: his first payout for a single dragon and some other assorted monsters was a little above a mil(7'000$ at the current cheles/yen/usd rate, nowhere nearly worth the risk, if you ask me). He was barely able to pay for the restaurant, and only thanks to all the requests he had to do to raise his rank: an exploit he isn't likely to repeat, having depleted the existing quest backlog, and exterminated (or befriended) all the local megafauna...

Uhh sure ok. If it helps to prove me wrong then I'll just take the loss. I'm not reading a wall of text about a fantasy manga's prices being compared to reality. =_= My mistake I guess?

Also might wanna reread. He made way more than a mil and also still has a large collection of other creatures to still sell. They were likely sold in hindsight though so no idea how much he made off of them.
