Whats the point of calling it silvers instead of 100 lark coins

@Kampfarsch Not the first isekai where the money system is confusing. It's kind of strange coming from a Japanese author, though, since Japan was an isolated island in the past. In real medieval Europe, the money system actually was confusing, though partially dependent on where you lived. The various countries had their own coins, but the coins from trading partners were also in wide circulation. The worth of a coin was based on its total silver content (or gold if you were doing major business; not something concerning commeners), but coins from different countries were of different sizes, thus having different amounts of silver. A commoner could easily be fooled out of their wealth by a crafty merchant if they weren't careful. Naturally all the currencies from different countries had their own names.

In any case, Japanese isekai authors often invent some weird currency that's worth as little as the modern yen for the sake of Japanese readers. It makes zero sense in a historical context, but isekai authors aren't known for their quality of writing, quite the opposite.
 
And with those last pages we can see how Kirei-san fell to the sheep girl. Totally understandable.
 
A MC who learns not to be a bitch after two chapters? Nice. Though it did take him dieing first...
 
Finally a man who understand how to explain a world economy to a reader.
" I sell you this."
"You give me X coins."
"For A coins I can eat." "and for B coins I can sleep in a inn."

He establish the basic living expense (eating/sleeping) so we know how this world works.
Only after doing this that you can convert the currency into yen.

Thank you, only for this I'll rate it 10/10.
 
Reueline he could understand the meaning behind the worlds, i just don’t how he speak the same language
 
"For Monster Hunter - Rise we have decided to bring back Kulve Taroth, but this time as an interactive character.''
 
This author is dement and is making stuff needlessly complicated. He did not know their language. The currencies are dumb. The "bully" thing is a forced way of giving him character growth. Interesting world, author just isn't that good.
