After the people’s petition settled, I entered a nearby store with Dunamis.
It is a teahouse or cafe crowded with customers.
Dunamis asked me after placing an order with the clerk.
“What do you want to do?”
“Yeah? Then the same thing.”
“Okay.”
Dunamis takes a banknote out of her sleeve and hands it to the clerk who responds quickly.
“It’s the price, take it.”
“Yes, sure.”
“Wait a minute.”
The clerk raised his head and leaves with the banknote.
I ask Dunamis.
“What did you give him just now?”
“What is strange? It’s natural to pay for food and drinks.”
“That’s what gold is for.”
I opened another dimension warehouse and take out a banknote.
This is a banknote issued and distributed by the Mercuri Kingdom, with the Mercuri royalty’s magic.
These banknotes that cannot be counterfeited are a medium of payment that is convenient for the four countries around it, who mainly use gold coins.
Now, it is the most usable and reliable money in the five major countries and can be used in the other four countries.
On the other hand, what did Dunamis give to the store clerk?
“It was different.”
“Yeah. Are you concerned?”
Dunamis takes another banknote out of her sleeve and hands it to me.
I grab it and observe it.
It is completely different from Mercuri Banknotes.
Face value, date of issue, and even a serial number.
A portrait of Dunamis is also drawn.
“You can do this?”
“This is the Mercuri Empire banknote issued by me.”
“…”
(Kukuku, forgery of money)
“……Disagreeable.”
I shake my head at the banknotes.
“It’s completely different from the design, so isn’t counterfeit.”
“It’s a matter of course. I have issued an imperial bill. It is not an imitation.”
Dunamis said so.
The clerk brought what I ordered, so I asked him.
“How was the previous payment?”
“Umm, what about it?”
“Is it OK.”
“Of course, it’s an honor for Her Majesty to be able to come to our store.
“I get it. I don’t like to enjoy anything without a price.”
“I understand. Oh, this is a little service. It’s a candy that we serve loyal customers.”
“Hmm, let’s try it.”
Dunamis nods and receives service from the clerk.
I was just surprised.
Whether money is useful or not is determined by credibility and value.
This “Mercuri Imperial Banknote” I have, apparently in this store.
(When I look outside, I think it can be used normally in this city)
I agree with Eleanor.
This banknote is considered valuable.
“……Hmm?”
“What happened?”
“Is this handwritten?”
“It’s a matter of course. I’m writing them one by one.”
“I’m not good at painting. That’s why I’m good at cheating.”
“It’s the imperial taste.”
Dunamis crosses her legs and acts majestically, sipping tea gracefully.
“Now, let me ask you a question.”
“Question?”
“I’ll ask a question unilaterally and that’s it.”
“I see. What do you want to ask me?”
“Why is it too much?”
“Ah?”
It is an unexpected question.
Dunamis, who was poised until now, looks at me with utmost seriousness.
“I’m mad, I have to grasp the current situation. Of course, I’m aware of the gazes directed at the surplus. There are two types of gaze, one that pities it, and one that respects it.”
“So that’s it.”
It was a surprising speech.
I thought that she wasn’t down to earth.
“You have neither of them.”
“Hmm……”
“Is it impossible to answer?”
“No. If I try to sum it up. I was only thinking about which one is better.”
“I don’t like roundabout ways of speaking.”
“I want to embrace a woman.”
I answered immediately.
“I just figured it out.”
“…”
I surprised Dunamis.
“Do you feel the same?”
“Nope.”
Dunamis laughs.
Exceptionally fun, just fun.
“I am a generous and intelligent imperial emperor. I forgive your disrespect.”
It’s not love but a feeling that is closer to “interesting”.
That’s why I’m interested in Dunamis, who forgives me.
