You gotta be kidding me with these prices though. 51.5 million gold? Who is storing this much gold? How? If someone sells this sword and comes to the bank to cash out, what happens? Books cost 20 million, swords 51.5 million, random chunks of unprocessed ore for millions, and where do we go from here? Is the sword that could drop from the next implausibly-spawned superboss level monster going to be 80 million? I can assume end-game equipment costs billions? The weight of 50 million gold alone (assuming a standard gold coin weight of ~34 grams) would be almost 4 million pounds. Volume is somewhere in the range of 75000m³. The cost in constructing just that based on what I understand of their money would be trillions, unless they use regular common-people stone in which case it would cost probably 50 gold, the majority of which would go into the foundation slab. That's .00000097 mithril-swords-with-a-rune-of-destruction.

They need to sort out their luxury goods inflation. The economy in this world is crippled. I don't remember, it was probably mentioned in an earlier chapter, but I bet it costs 1 silver piece to stay in the inn per night, so for the relative low cost of parting with this sword, young 15yo Elma can rest peacefully for another 1.05 million years.

I daresay he's earned it.

Yeah they haven't covered how exactly the economy works yet. Hell Mode does a lot more on that front, but Heavy Knight is frontloading a whole lot of threats to have the time to cover it.

This world is very much more game-like than most, and as such much more ....illogical..., or an outright spoof..., in certain aspects of it. If not most/all... This includes the amounts of gold you need for everything.

Treat "Gold" as the basic game currency unit, assume huge gold sinks, and set brain for durrr.... is my advice.. ;)
Our MC is running around in one of those hypermega Up-The-Epic, MOAR!-EPIC!! dime-a-dozen MMO's.
Applying Logic™ to those will only give you heartburn, WTF?!-itis, and aneurysms.

I imagine there's a few things going on that are inflating the value of items. First, from the light novel:
A hundred Gold is more than enough to buy a single loaf of bread.
It’s not quite wrong to say that 1 Gold is equal to 1 Yen.
So, first thing going on is that 1 Gold = 1 Yen in value, roughly. So that sword would be worth roughly $383,360.85 in USD, based on the exchange rate right now. Still expensive, but not nearly as much as $51.5 million USD would be. There's also nothing smaller than 1 gold, like there's nothing smaller than 1 Yen in Japan. With that said, it's likely that there are coins of varying values, given that in Ch10 of the manga, he can pay for 3 healing potions that cost 72,000 gold from a bag that looks like it'd barely fit the three of them together.

Second thing is that this is originally a game world. To my knowledge, there's been no explanation for where the coins come from, whether it be a mint, or specific dungeons rewarding in straight money, or if there's a way to convert items into money. Regardless, game worlds are rather notorious for severe inflation. In several games I've played, getting or maintaining housing is cheaper than getting decent gear well before endgame. I also highly doubt that people are farming dungeon materials to build their houses, get food, or whatnot, so day-to-day expenses are likely trivial compared to weapon/armor/skill book expenses. Note the prices for an "expensive" diner. And how Luce freaks out about the price, despite having just earned more than 1,000 times more gold just for the subjugation of the Dream Lord in the first dungeon she conquers with Elma.
“Uwah! Crab King Pie with Black Mushroom Sauce, for 8000 gold! I almost ordered it just now, but I didn’t think it would cost that much… . Elma-san, things on this page are no good! Let’s order something that’s no more than 1400 gold!”

Finally, with the game world turned real, there's no revivals if you get killed. Any gear, or items that could be used to make or enhance gear, that would let you fight better or survive longer would get dramatically more expensive. Notably, the status window marks the [Market Value]. Not the original price from when it was a game, but an average of how much the item would cost to purchase from a fairly-priced store in the region. From when he got the Mad Demon Shield:
I gulped.
It has the same stats as the one in [Magic World], but the market value is very much different.

She's annoying but in a weirdly cute way. It's like one of those tiny dogs that are angry all the time.

She's a glass cannon, eh? Brat got scared and folded before the correction can even begin. But she's also a sore loser and not a woman of her word. Shame!

I hope they don't add her to the party, at least not in her current state. She's a liability if they add her now.

On a side note, all the useful stuff being priced in the millions once again reminds me of Ragnarok Online.

except there are some stupid dps whos whole reason to play dps is to over-aggro tank and then to tank boss/adds itself and to die just to flame tank for not tanking properly xD
As a MT, if the DPS keeps running ahead and aggroing everything, i'll usually turn off my tank stance and just hang back as long as the Heal doesn't get put at risk. Because everyone know you don't fuck with your healer.

MC should make her pay with her body once she's an adult!

Thanks for the chapter
