I decided to accept His Excellencyâs proposal. It was unexpectedly easy do reach this decision.
On the next day after the dinner party, some figures from army and nobility swaggered into my room. With quite the vigor that is.
ăBecome the barrier master for our house! I will take care of you! ă
ăWe will attach you to our flying dragonâs corps, be grateful!ă
No matter how hard I refused, more and more kept coming. Some soldiers even fought in the lobby. As expected it wasnât a good development so I was somehow calmed them down.
On the other note, I decided to set up a company. I named ităDaquet Companyă. As expected, it was too embarrassing to use my own name in the company name. There, I borrowed a part of the name that the late regent prince came up with when he proposed to Versam family to adopt me. (TN: Versam Daquet Rinos)
Next, I searched for a house to live in. Seono from the Knightâs Order introduced me a real estate company. Although, he had a cramped expression when he did that.
A real estate agent introduced me three houses. There is Irimo, so there were only three places that suited my requirements and had stables attached. First was a ridiculously large mansion near the residence of the prime minister. It seems that a rich retired merchant lived here before, as expected, it is too much to manage for the lone me, so I refused.
Following after that was a sturdy stone building in the area where the imperial knights live. It wasnât that bad, but since I had my fill with soldiers recently, I refused.
The last building was at the edge of the capital. There was a spring in the forest nearby, it also had a farm field attached. A two-story building with stables. The second floor had four rooms, it is said that it was built to resemble a small Versam mansion. It seems that the royalty lived here long time ago, it had a wide area of land to use. The land goes as far as I can see. Adding to that, it was 100G per month. 10000 in Japanese yen. The reason is simple, recently, there were monsters coming out of the forest, so it wasnât very popular amongst the buyers. Of course, I have a barrier, so there is no problem. The mansion was protected and kept clean, but the real estate company wanted to pass this hot potato as soon as possible.
After the negotiations, they agreed to sell it for 1000G, like that, I became a mansion owner at 14 years old.
It takes an hour to reach the palace from here, but with Irimo, 20 minutes is enough. Well, this much is acceptable.
After that, I gathered the daily necessities, bought bed and sheets to bring home, I also purchased a mountain of food ingredients. Of course, I bought a lot of rice and beans. And of course, it was the glutinous rice. I bought it without any hesitation. Different kinds of beans were also bought in excess. Different kinds of seasonings were also available for purchase, with this, my repertoire should increase.
The hospital and other health institution were close by, it seems this city is rather kind to its inhabitants.
The preparations were over after two weeks. Following after that, we moved out of the hotel. The dishes in the hotel were more delicious than I expected, so I decided to visit that place from time to time. With this in mind, I left some tips behind when I checked out.
When I left the hotel and was walking around the capital, I noticed a commotion in the red-light district. Apparently, a woman was arguing with a soldier. (TN: How did you even get there?)
ăWhy are you trying to detain us! We didnât do anything!!ă
ăShut up, whores! You are the villains who disturb the public morals! Iâm capturing you for the sake of public order! Hurry up and walk! ă
ăWait! We are permitted to our do business here of behalf of His Majesty the emperor! You need a special decree to capture us! ă
ăFrom the looks of it, the soldiers often stay in our place too! Donât you spout some nonsense! ă
ăS-shut up, shut up, you whores! There is no need for the emperorâs decree. This is the order of the first princess Ricolette! This vile place has to be demolished!!ă
A soldier tries to bring the prostitutes away, someone related to them tries to stop him and the gallery is being noisy. And once the soldiers grabbed them by the hair and tried to bring them away, they walked in my direction.
ăBrat, move!!ă
ăYou just mention that you wanted to demolish this place, but there are plenty of less violent ways, you know?ă
ăAn? What did you say??ă
ăYou are going to capture these big sisters, right? Such a bother. There is way to deal with this situation even without thată
ăA brat that spouts bullshit. What is it, try to say it! ă
ăYou just need to stop visiting this placeă
ăAh!? Thatâs it!?ă
ăThere is a saying in my homeland:ăThere is no sin in selling, only in buyingă. In short, their establishment is not at fault. The customers are at fault. If no one ever pays for their service, they will be gone in no time. Thatâs why, people just need to stop coming here, including you ă
ăChi! This brat!!ă
The soldiers pulled out his sword and slashed at me. There is now way such crude swordsmanship will work. I knocked his sword away in a moment.
ăIf you are insisting to continue, instead of a sword, your head might fly away nextă
I clad my hand in fire. Maybe because Iâm a magician, the soldiers faltered.
A red dot appeared on my map. It is behind my back. I glanced behind my back and noticed a big carriage.
ăHey, you! Well done!! I felt a throbbing in my chest!! Good job! ă
ăI never liked those troublemakers! They didnât even pay occasionally! ă
A fat aunty, who looked like an owner of this place, slapped me on the shoulder. Hurts! It hurts! On the other hand, Iâm deeply grateful towards a big sister, who pushed pressed her impressive valley against my arm.
ăYou are interesting! Iâm the owner of thisăMirayaăestablishment, my name is Akima. Follow me! ă
The fat aunt Akima entered inside with great vigor. The breasts sister, who still didnât let go of my arm, dragged me to follow. I also brought Irimo with me. She seemed to be hesitating though. On the contrary, Gon, who was on my back, laughed happily. Such a carefree fox. (TN: Is Gon really a male? I didnât want to believe it but I guess itâs fate)
Once inside, aunt Akima brought out a single card and handed it to me.
ăShow it and you can play here for free! It is supposed to be one-use only, but you can come here until the end of this year! ă
ăDo you want to play? Big sister will teach you everythingă
ăNo, I will accompany him myself! It is so cute when he calls usăbig sistersă. I will be gentle! ă
ăWe have all kinds of girls here! I will definitely find a girl to suit your tastes, leave it to me! ă
No, no, Iâm not even adult yetâŚâŚBig sisters? approached me with overwhelming vigor, somehow I was able to escape.
