Chapter 17 - Misunderstand

Is it the capital of the kingdom? Of course, there are other cities besides here because they are still natural.

I've been in this city for a long time, but I don't have to stay in this city for very long.

[Business is getting tougher here, so maybe you should change your mind and do it in another city, for that reason…]

'There's a point too, but ...'

"It's a very interesting story, but I won't leave this town until I can return the money I borrowed from someone ..."

"What. !!! Is that a lot of money?"

"That's right. The remaining 80 gold coins, so it would be nice to wait up to a month."

"Then, Master. The income I made this time is pretty good. Master helped me for 10 days to keep this competition running smoothly, therefore 100 gold coins mean nothing to repay everything."

"That's too much. Doing so would hurt my relationship with Viscount Andrew."

"Hmm ... If you say that, why don't you talk about various things during this trip? It's a long trip to the royal capital. It's a good way to kill time. So how about saying a total of 100 gold coins?"

As expected, I still got too much. But this is not an opportunity.

Thank you Viscount Andrew for the help.

*******

The next day, after saying goodbye to other nobles except Count Falcon, I decided to prepare my necessities to go to the royal capital.

It was decided three days later to head to the royal capital due to Viscount Andrew's preparations. If that's the case, I'll solve what I need to do then.

First of all, I visited Sardo, the chairman of Simbal, to pay off a debt.

An unusual guest today, seen a visitor who was one of the barons who was with Viscount Andrew at a fishing tournament.

I then greeted him just in case I didn't look arrogant, but it turned out that the Baron didn't remember me, and my greetings were treated lightly.

Now, that's the selling price I sold to Count Falcon, so they can't help but remember me.

After that, while waiting for Baron's shopping to finish, I looked for items in the shop.

A Baron can't come shopping alone, but as far as I can hear from the story. It seems that Baron is looking for items ordered from his relatives, therefore Baron stopped by first before returning to his house this time.

However, as far as I could tell from what they were talking about, it didn't seem that great even if it sounded vague. But it looks like the Baron is in a hurry to bid on every item he wants because he has come a long way.

Facing the Baron who is discounting his merchandise, Sardo is forced to follow his will.

The Baron was satisfied bought a large number of goods and returned because he seemed to be buying the item at a considerable discount from its original price.

"I'm sorry. Sorry to keep you waiting."

"It's okay, I came all of a sudden. Even so, it looks like a lot of items have already been sold."

"Haha. That's not the case. At first, I expected the Baron to ask for a discount, that's why I deliberately said it at a high price. The house there borrowed money from the gurney and my neck was the guarantee. Honestly. Honestly, I'm not the type of person. who likes to borrow. Oops ... It's a secret. So, what business do you have today? "

"As expected, you are the best trader in the country. Today, I have come to pay off the debt I have and also wish to say goodbye to you."

"Thank you for paying it off on time, but what about the meaning of the farewell?"

I talked about going to the royal capital with Viscount Andrew and don't know if I will return in the future.

My relationship with him is not very deep, but he is good to me. It's rude to leave without saying anything.

When I paid back my entire debt, I was told to wait a while as Sardo would count the coins I gave him. Therefore, I was led to the back room.

This room was probably used to deal with nobles.

You can see luxury furniture everywhere. I wondered if there were employees, but it seemed like there were several waiters, and they greeted me while I was waiting.

I waited a long time, maybe about 30 minutes waiting for him. Before long, Sardo walked into the waiting room as if he had finished counting the numbers.

There was also the person who seemed to be the butler by his side. But who?

For a waiter, I think his appearance is good. It looks like an old man, but it's impossible. His appearance gave the impression that he was looking at a painting.

"I apologize for keeping you waiting. I believe I have received 200 gold coins, so please sign this contract. Then, if you are going to the royal capital, this is it."

With that, Sardo handed over a letter. There is not much clean paper in this city, but it is quite dense and expensive. Is it parchment material? Unlike paper, paper weighs a lot.

"What is this?"

"Because my father's main shop is in the royal capital. This is my introduction letter and recent report. The main shop needs an introduction from someone noble, but if you have this, you can enter freely."

"Is that good for me?"

"Of course, it has represented me, everyone cannot easily meet my father, so it would be nice if you could go see him."

In other words, instead of sending a letter, Sardo would introduce me to his father's shop.

Well, it wasn't a bad plan, so I decided to accept it.

By the way, when I asked what kind of shop it was, Sardo replied that there were a lot of shops, so it was liked by many notable nobles and adventurers.

To be honest, I thought it was okay for me to go to a shop like that, but I ended up doing it all as an experience.

"But continuing in business alone can be dangerous. Should someone hire a companion?"

"I'm afraid I don't have that kind of money. I want to hire someone like the butler."

At that moment, I felt the air had frozen solid. Something is tickling. Apart from that, I feel the air quality that the maids are wearing has changed.

"That's right. I don't pay attention to my servants ..."

"Ah, ahaha ... the butler and waiter seem very solid ..."

Furthermore, the air froze. No, it's more like it's noisy than frozen.

Somehow, I want to run away from here right now.

"I don't mean to underestimate the fact that I was noticed by the maids ... but that's it. They are the most powerful people in my life, and I try not to let others find out about my abilities so much ..."

"Hmm ... well, it's true that the butler is very good. I'm surprised his servant is strong too."

There's something weird about that. Did I say something weird? What is this situation? What should I do?

"Maybe ... don't you realize that they are strong people?"

"Is that so? I've never met a butler or servant, so it's the same as Viscount Andrew, but there are many butlers and servants in this town ..."

Besides, I'm not the main character in the manga, so at first glance, he's ... strong! You can't do something like that.

I just hope his performance is solid and someone like that will accompany me. I don't know what it is, but it seems like it's completely misunderstood.

"Sorry. It seems I misunderstood. I heard that many Viscount Andrews were initially familiar with their skills. Usually, they are ordinary people."

"Hey, that's right. I'm so poor that I can't lift my arm just by swinging the sword a few times, so I'm envious of people with good skills. If I'm capable, I want to do that is to hire someone with good skills."

There, he laughs at his muscular pose, showing that he simply can't use the biceps in his arm.

I was relieved to see his appearance because the place seemed a little calmer. After that, I decided to take a break from lonely stories.

After all, I need to go to the Merchants Guild to say hello.

"Let's meet again at this shop when we have another chance."

"At that time, please enjoy our shop again."

*******

"Christopher. What do you think of him?"

"I ran away, but Rei looks like an ordinary man. No atmosphere hides his abilities, and most importantly, I can't feel any magical power inside his body."

"... What do the servants think?"

"We agree with Christopher. It looks like a remark concerning our abilities is happening, and it seems this is a selfish conviction."

"Yes ... that's right. Then, the unseasonable White Radish delivery and the good quality sawn grass delivery. What's more, the live fish delivery that nobody could ever do ... After all, someone was working with him. I want to know."

"I guess so. Our survey didn't show any movement of the inn, and many merchant surveys didn't reveal where to get it. After all, it's possible to think of an adventurer rank S or still in the world. It's an unknown strong man. Rei is going to go to the royal capital, so I have to leave it to my father. "

"Really… a mysterious person. At first glance, it seems just an ordinary man, but I feel something special for him. This is the first time I've had a man sneak through my eyes. Rei Kuraki… I wonder who he is. "
