And hence, prostitution (male) was established in this world. :-o

I still wonder if zabuton has the ability to talk telepathy, normal or otherwise.

@RhoninFire Since this is fiction and has proven to be quite witless as far as logic goes, who knows. Just judging by all the past chapters, you should be correct, but since the author doesn't really care about what makes sense and what doesn't, he could suddenly make it a giant success without batting an eye.

@aFFi @Kaarme Really late for me to enter this conversation. But yeah, even if a whole bunch of men enter the village, I have to vote that it won't change a thing. Every single woman are just too enamored towards the MC that all it will accomplish is making is a bunch of very miserable male villagers (or maybe the tone of this manga, handwaived that they don't mind and will just be bros to each other with no resentment at all somehow). Law of averages saying not every girl can have prince charming doesn't apply as by the level of (unrealistic) desire to the MC, at best it would be a bunch of marriages between couples with girls who not-so-secretly hide who they really want. It needs to be men that can match the MC on some aspect.

@givemersspls


I will meet you halfway and agree with you on this

I meant more for the first post, where you didn't specify it.



No, I'm going to say that Denmark doesn't control the krone because it is established, BY INTERNATIONAL TREATY, that it needs to be within 2.25% of a specific value of the euro. The Danish National Bank is indeed controlled by Denmark. The difference is that The Danish National Bank and Denmark writ-large is required to follow the monetary policy of the Eurozone.

That's completely different from the US because the Federal Reserve isn't required by some agreement to follow anyone else. That is a huge difference.



The hell? Are you serious? The MC has stated that he wants currency! He said it would be great! Currency would allow the villagers to deal amongst themselves as well as with other villages/cities without having to go through him for every minor little thing. He specifically said he wants currency!

One of the reasons the MC stated he doesn't have free time is because of how much time and effort he spends on crafting these medals. He could've avoided that entirely by adopting an existing currency!

Yeah, he submitted because he doesn't want to fight them. That clearly shows that he doesn't want to be independent! He would rather submit to a central authority than fight for independence! That's literally what that means!

In addition, all of this is amplified and made worse by the fact that this is an attempt at an INITIAL currency, where the villagers don't have a sincere grasp on the concept of a currency. If he really wanted an independent monetary policy (and again, he doesn't actually care about independent monetary policy; this is just a hypothetical), then he could first adopt another currency for the purposes of stability and gradual introduction. Then he could implement his own currency. Instead, he took the stupid route for literally no good reason. Literally made many things worse.

@givemersspls
The MC has stated, he has no need for any currency.
The MC has stated he no longer has any free time.
The MC submited taxes just so he doesnt have to fight them, it was a curtesy and the Demon King knows it.

Do I really need to specify MXN, when I already mentioned Mexican goverment?


Except, you know, for the fact that the Krone is regulated by the National Bank.
https://www.fxcm.com/insights/dkk-danish-krone/

Or are you going to argue again, that just because a Central bank is headquartered in a country doesnt mean that country controls it?

Guess that means the US doesnt control the dollar cause the Federal reserve isnt controlled by the US Goverment directly.

Back to the MC, the MC only put out medals so that his time wouldnt be wasted, and he already expressed how he isnt going to whore himself for currency he made himself.

Again, the MC has all the means of productions under his thumb, he has been working himself overtime cause a bunch of moochers suddenly latched on, just another reminder that socialism only works if you have a retard that can produce anything magically. And even now the MC is getting kinda sick of having to do every fucking thing for the villagers, which is greatly ironic for an isekai, since you know most of the Time the MC ends up being the ruler of everything, I find this event endearing, entertaining and interesting.

@boag False on almost every account.

You don't submit control of the currency to someone else WHEN YOU CARE about control over the currency. Give a single indication that the MC WANTS any large amount of control over the area. He VERY readily submitted to the central authority of the demon kingdom. This alone negates almost everything that you brought up.

Wrong on controlling the Euro. The European Central Bank is indeed located in Frankfurt, , but the bank is not solely controlled by . That is just straight false.

Your example with the peso (by the way, there are a lot of countries that use pesos, so you really should've specified) is still wrong for two reasons. First, the US WANTS a monetary policy at least somewhat independent of its neighbors. Again, there is absolutely no indication that the MC wants independence. Second, the US, as the larger market, would control the flow of goods and services of value. Yeah, Mexico would be able to control the physical amount of pesos in circulation, but the US would still inherently have a larger share of that circulation by virtue of its larger market.

Again, no indication that he wants any kind of control. Again, Denmark is a completely clear counter-example to what you said. It clearly doesn't control its own currency.

@givemersspls
You do not submit control of the currency to someone else when you are the local power.
And goverments hold a monopoly over the currency of their nations, no one else is allowed to make more, try and duplicate a dollar and youll be in federal jail faster than you can say "didnt know she was 12".

, has absolute control over how many Euros are printed, let that sink in.

And my example of the Peso is completely valid, and here is why.
if the US adopted the Peso, then they would be beholded to how many pesos they receive from the mexican goverment and the mexican economy.

It would skyrocket the price of the Peso agaisnt the dollar in the free market exchange, since the US adopting the peso means that the USD no longer holds the same value. Thats why many countries have USDs in their coffers as backing for their own currency.

In the story, the dude can produce anything he wants, at this point the medals are no longer being valued as individual goods, but as the MCs time.
If he adopted a foreign currency, then they would set the prices for the goods, not the otherway around.

Lets use real world comparison for something the MC made.

A barrel of wine costs around 400 USD, for an american oak barrel.
900 USD for French oak.
A 20 dollar gold coin today costs 1200 USD.

If we do some minor converstions, with lots of leway, a barrel of MCs wine could be worth around half a gold coin. or 50 silver if we go by usual Isekai standards.

Now remember, he is the all powerful MC, theres nothing that can challenge him in terms of military might, why the hell would he allow his precious time to be set by another nation?

It would be stupid.

@boag What? No, seriously, what the absolute hell? "its pretty much uesless if he doesn't have a monopoly on the currency which only he can produce"

Why the hell does he need to have a monopoly on the currency? What reason, either good or bad, does he have for seeking a monopoly? As a fact of everyday life, individual people in the real world usually don't have a monopoly on the currency of their land, and yet they continue to function just fine. In the real world, there are actually tons of countries that officially and legally use the currencies of other countries. Just as one example, any individual country within the EU does not have a monopoly on how the Euro is implemented. Here's an even more extreme example; Denmark still uses the Danish krone, a technically separate currency. The value of the krone is absolutely and unequivocally tied to the value of the Euro at a fixed exchange rate. They still function completely fine!

Your example of the US adopting the Peso is completely ridiculous because that's not how it works. Let's say the US did adopt the Peso. It would have to be at a set exchange rate! One USD would be equal to X Pesos! That would totally work and would still leave the US with the upper hand.

Zabuton continues to be THE best girl.
@Liquidxlax
The problem here lies with the worth of the gold itself, its pretty much useless if he doesnt have a monopoly on the currency which only he can produce, the fact that theres only around 1000 medals, makes them extremely valueable for trading directly with the chief that can produce near damn anything at this point.

if he used someone elses currency then he would be bound by that other kingdoms currency if they ever produced enough for whatever they want, and the dude has show he has the upper military hand.

Its like if the US suddenly adopted the Peso instead of the dollar.

@givemersspls That would have been the best idea. Adopting the currency of their biggest trade partner would have been great as I coulda swore they said they had received a bunch of money, coins gold and stuff for their goods.

@givemersspls from what I remember, the first two were just bored, and he tamed them with food and time off work (later booze too), they jumped in bed with him for no good reason (probably so they wouldn't get chased out). Before he got Ru pregnant, a supposedly impossible feat, i think only the Elves (and maybe the Beastmen) needed him because they have few if any men in their races, and they need to repopulate after a war. After having two miraculous pregnancies with women that shouldn't be compatible with humans, or even count as alive sometimes, they probably all want his (clearly) superior sperm.

> I have to ask. The fuck is the motivation of these girls to have the MC's children? Just why?

It is as you said, they're not people. They're fantasy cartoon women who could never exist.

...Short of making them. Out of mechanical parts. With a layer of fat and skin on top of it.

All professional NEETs want robot women.

Edit: If you absolutely need for things to make sense, do what I do for Star Trek The Next Generation. It's not a real world he's living in, the contradictions prohibit that possibility. He has to be inside a holodeck or virtual reality, and most to all of the other characters are NPCs.

@Jeirien The village gets stuff from outside as well, as mentioned in earlier chapters. They can't produce everything. They're relying on the barter system because reasons.

Like him trading with the other 3 places (Demon kingdom, merchanty place and beastmen village), instead of just getting traders to come and go, he only trade by specifically using high ranking dragons (or big-shot demon official) as deliverymen. Because reasons.

"I told you." moment.

@IMACOP The demon kingdom would go bankrupt in the long run or run out of coins as there are little they need from outside and the money would only circulate inside the village. There is also inflation as more money was inside the village.

@InsaneInsomniac It also wasn't the first thing they did. By the sounds of things, the first thing the girls did is get liquored up.

MC invents money...first thing the girls do is try to turn him into a prostitute...it really is the oldest profession in the world

*ok, I know he didn't technically "invent" it, but he created a new "currency" for his land, which is basically inventing their new form of money

MC could've just adopted the demon kingdom's currency. His village is technically under the their rule. After all, he did recognize their authority in exchange for autonomy. Plus, almost all of his 'administrative personal' came from the kingdom.
