I'm an NPC, You're a Bunch of Idiot Players [Full Dive]

Ailuoer opened a general store at the edge of the forest.

All she wanted was somewhere to eat snacks and read novels, so she never expected any customers to show up. And yet...

[A strange customer has spawned at the door!]

An elf dressed in mismatched clothes and speaking with a strange accent opens a package and pulls out [Broken Mole Hide]. "Boss, will you buy this?"

Ailuoer: "..."

Ailuoer: "I don't buy trash."

The elf wails.

Ailuoer has no choice but to buy it, then sends the elf on their way with a single copper coin.

[Another strange customer has spawned at the door!]

The elf from yesterday lights up at the sight of her, opens a package, and pulls out [Intact Magic Dragon Core]. "Boss, will you buy this?"

Ailuoer: "?"

Wait, the level range of the goods you're bringing me is way too wide!

Ailuoer originally meant to be a low-key shopkeeper.

She comes from the fabulously wealthy "Golden Rose Family," but has always been content to take things as they come. After graduating from the magic academy, she was sent off to this remote little town.

One day, a message from her family warns that the Imperial City prophet has made a prediction: a special disaster is coming soon, so she must be careful.

Ailuoer: Too late. I've already been caught up in the Fourth Calamity because I'm too conscientious in business.

Later, sitting on the ruins of the demon realm as the Fourth Calamity sings and dances around her, Ailuoer guiltily thinks: It's really not because the players said cola was delicious and the ingredients are in the demon realm that I conquered it.

Really!

"My world is a real world, because it's where I grew up. Surely I know whether it's real or not."

"Welcome to come and play :)"
