“Fufufu …… Daddy! I got so much money! With all this money, maybe we can buy a house!”
“…… Well, let’s see. I don’t know about a big house, but you could buy a regular two-story house with cash.”
“I’m afraid to keep it, so I’ll leave it to Daddy!”
As a result of Rena’s negotiations with the merchant’s guild, she obtained not the silver coins commonly used in Shiina Country, but gold coins worth 100 silver coins … which is also 100 times worth. In other words, she obtained three white gold coins, which are worth 10,000 silver coins each.
By the way, Julie said she had never seen a white gold coin before, and she said she could buy a house with these three coins, so they must be worth a lot of money.
“What are you going to do, Daddy? If we had that much, we could go to the next city in the south and buy a house, couldn’t we?”
“Oh, I see. So we can build a base in the next city.”
Since our goal is to completely destroy the Dark Guild of Shiina Country, Rena is right.
Furthermore, from listening to the negotiations between Rena and the merchant’s guild, it seems that they need more Status-Up Potions.
After buying a house, we can expect to earn income, so we can maintain it, and we can get supplies in the Shiina Country.
But the problem is transportation.
“Mr. Alex. If you are going to the city next to Ullarad City, are you not coming to my house?”
“Julei. I’m very sorry, but if Alex is going to the next town, I’m going with him-pon.”
“Wait a minute! I want to go with Sir Alex too!”
Yep! I already have a bad feeling about this.
“Wait a minute. We’ll go to the next town eventually, but it will be a little later. Right now we’re still working on something else. Besides, the only way for us to get into Shiina Country is with the help of Julie and Mami, so we will definitely come to Julie’s house.”
“Mr. Alex. Then, when you come, make sure you love me, okay? Preferably as Little Alex.”
“Sir Alex! Please do the same for me! I was really going crazy this time …… and I can’t live without Sir Alex.”
For now, Julie has a house and a job, so she can’t leave the city of Ullarad.
When Kate goes to the next town, I think it will be okay to let her live in the house, the base that we’ll buy there, and have her clean the house daily.
Mami is not originally living in Ullarad City, so she will be able to move freely to Ullarad City or to the next city.
I really want to get to the next city as soon as possible, but …… I don’t we’ll be able to develop it alongside the former village of the rabbit-eared tribe yet.
We will have to rely on Sophie and Shelly, but if we can shorten the travel time a little more, we may go to the next city.
“So, that’s why I’ll be staying at Julie’s house for a while. However, we will be going to the next city after a little while, so if Kate has any extra time, I would appreciate it if you could check out some information about the next city for me.”
“Yes! If it’s for Sir Alex, I’ll be happy to do it!”
“All right. Well, we’ve decided on our plan to a certain extent, but that aside …… Tsuki is really good.”
After we left the merchant’s guild, there was a man following us, so we invited him to an unpopulated place, but Tsubaki’s doll, Tsuki, had already seized him.
“Well, what do you want with us?”
“W-Wait a minute. You were having a business meeting in the reception room of the merchant’s guild, weren’t you? So I just wanted to know what kind of goods you were selling. I’m a member of the Merchant’s Guild, that’s all!”
The man has a knife pressed against his neck from Tsuki …… and he doesn’t seem to be lying.
He doesn’t seem involved in the Dark Guild, so I should leave the rest to Julie.
“Hah …… The guild members of the merchant’s guild followed each other and tried to steal information from each other, right?”
“Y-Yeah. This is a common occurrence, you know? Please spare me.”
“You don’t seem to know who I am, so I’ll tell you who I am, my name is Julie, and I am the deputy head of the Vigilante Group. I’ve been informed by the Merchant’s Guild that this is an illegal act, so I’m going to detain you and report you to the guild.”
“What!? W-Wait a minute! Really, everyone is doing this much, and when you turn me in to the guild, they’ll just let me go and that’ll be the end of it, you know!? You’re wasting your time!”
“The guild will decide what to do with you, not me. I’ll just give you one piece of advice, it’s better if you don’t make enemies with this gentleman, you know? Think about the reason why I was escorting him and having a business meeting in the reception room in the first place.”
Julie, noticing my eye contact, talks to the guy and makes me look like an important person as a threat to deter him from reoffending me.
I know what she’s doing, but it’s kind of unsettling or strange.
…… I heard after that the guy was expelled from the merchant’s guild and also from the city of Ullarad.
I don’t think they would have done that just for following me, and I’m sure he had other offenses…… probably.
