I really appreciate the translation. However, just want to let you know (not sure if person who posted it is reading it) that the final page really messed up with long strip view.

That last bit looked like Mitsuha was price gouging hand sanitizers

Feels like they should realize rather easily how valuable the products are in another world. And even the containers are probably something you want returned for proper disposal, so higher prices would mean ability to raise the monetary encouragement for returning used containers.

Buying things super cheap and then selling it at ridiculously expensive prices when there is demand/shortage is the true calling of any decent merchant. (Especially if it is not a necessity)

Just ask Recette. She would know.

I also had problems with long strip though I switched to single page and when I switched back it was gone.
I'm not sure why but if anything it's a mangadex bug that needs to be fixed and not your fault.

This was a great and fun chapter. I really hope this series gets an anime, the comedy would come across very well.

well... while a cheap and abundance item might seem worthless from where it came from, it will turned into an expensive and rare item if its distributed into another side of the world, let alone literal out of it.

If they don't understand the language how did they understand the prices? It's not like numbers are liable to be one to one, just like yen and usd aren't one to one for example.

Just use comparison. Generally if you are in a store and you know which product is for what, then you can make a guess based on relativity. if you see a pack of soap for 500 neurogiggles , a pack of cigarettes for 1200 neurogiggles and a car for 600000 neurogiggles then you might guess that generally a neurogiggle is about 1 to 3 dollars and that soap might be overpriced! That's how people win The Price Is Right Of course that is a blatant ballpark example and in a general store you'd see much closer prices, thus making it easier to narrow down possibilities, cars can vary a lot.......

There are many languages where numbers aren't hard to figure out. If the otherworld's tongue is something along the lines of Arabic or Hebrew then maybe there'd be trouble, but that doesn't have to be the case. Even Japanese makes use of rather simple number symbols (nowadays they are moving more and more towards roman numerals though).

Thanks for sharing, but I'd like to point out that it is spelled usury. But that refers to the act of lending money. She was merely buying extremely low and selling extremely high.

Think of it like converting arabic numeral system (which is global standard because perfect to calculate) to roman numeral system (obsolete standard). Even kids can understand how to map them. Or even special ammount like man for 10,000 in Japan or lakh for 100,000 in India. Half an hour probably enough for explai
It's like playing with elementary school level algebra.

Probably, Mitsuha gives a little explaination and they figure out how to translate numeric. And also, conversion rate can be explained in just a minute.

Or maybe, the most reasonal thing, she just tell them the number directly.
