Chapter 18: Uncliché way to get rich
| Author's note: It will be a bit boring for these few chapters, but I'll get back to comedy, and action and all those cool fun things next chapter, enjoy for now |
John and dad left the next day. I took over John's work, but it was that bad, Light magic is the best at healing with water coming in second. Me and Siege healed every patient who comes in, most don't trust me to heal them so they went to ask the healer from Artia. We didn't mind, healing is just a way of practice for us, we got some training when we're free.
Uncle John and dad returned after a week. They got the patent, though they mentioned that they got weird looks when they were asking for it.
"Don't worry, we'll get to laugh at their sorry faces soon enough" Olivia reassured
"What's your plan Perseus? It's your plan after all, don't worry about the money, we can afford it" Mom asked
"I can't believe we're starting a business using an invention made by a 7 year old" John shook his head
"We are going to get rich soon, I'll take any good advice even if it's from my own son" dad supported me
"We'll probably lose money for 1 to 3 months at most, after that we'll make lots of profits, if need be, I can ask albert to get his dad to be an investor, but after that we'll make lots of profits, but first of all we need to move to Artia" I said
"We got that covered, Me and Olivia will handle all that, I pretty much have nothing else to teach you, you can stay here and stay with your parent and train with them" John suggested
"Yeah, they can teach you hunting and all of that, they are experienced in combat. Besides, if we get rich quick we'll just hire some people to do it for us and we can come back here" Olivia added
"Wouldn't that be harder on you guys?" I asked
"No, we already discussed this with your parents, besides the Artian healer will take care of it, our village is probably already considered as their territory."
After much discussion, John and Olivia will go to Artia and do the business, and when they get rich quick, they'll hire people to do it for them as they want to live out here. My parents will teach me hunting and magic, but they say my usual training with Ace and Siege and the book will mostly take care of the magic part, my mom will teach me the bow and how to use a short sword, while dad will tach the long sword and the greatsword.
After John and Olivia left, I ask Albert to try it, he said it didn't exist in his world, so he was curious, turns out he liked it, so did his dad, so we sold a 20% stake to them and let them handle all the advertising. The business was a success, John and Olivia came back after 3 months, they said that they expanded to multiple location thanks to the Golds household, they also hired people to work for us, so we can stay here in rabbit village as live our lives as usual while getting tons of money.
I trained during 3 months with mom and dad, thanks to me being a protagonist, I learned quick, but we're in no rush, we got about 5 years to go.
"What do you plan to do with all the money Perseus?" John asked "Since most of these money belongs to you"
"It belong to you guys too"
"Well, when you're an adult, we'll transfer the ownership to you, we can say that the business already payed us back more than enough, we already got more money than what we spent to get it started, your crazy food invention is selling like crazy, we're already thinking about expanding to other kingdoms, but it'll take a few more years for that to happen"
"I want to spend it on one thing for now" I answered
"What is it?" my mom asked curious
"A last name"
"Hahaha, that's only 10 gold coins, we can afford it" dad laughed
-Took us 3 months to get rich and a last name- Ace said
-Dabria you want to use my last name too?- I asked
-No, that would make it sound like as if we're married- she answered
-I'll take that as a yes-
Dabria then argued back
-They're flirting again-Ace grumbled
-Just get married already- Siege added
The next week we went to Artia to pay to get a last name.
"Sir what do you want your last name to be?" The clerk asked
"I'll leave that to my son" Dad answered
"Please don't make it sound silly, since John is also planning on taking that name, me and my future child will inherit it as well, I don't want to be known as Olivia Overlord" Olivia said to which the clerk laughed
"Axel Overlord, that doesn't sound that..." dad then looked at mom who was glaring at him
"I can see where his bad naming sense come from" mom shook her head
-King is a strong last name- Siege suggested
-What about Star- Ace also suggested
-No that's just silly- Dabria retorted
-Right, since you're also using the last name, you should also suggest us some- Ace replied
-You guys are so insufferable, ughhh, why didn't' I get a last name...-Dabria rambled
"Silver" I finally said after a while
<Since it is the color of my hair in the previous life>
"John Silver...I kinda like it" John said
"Axel Silver also sound cool" dad joined in
"I am now Perseus Silver" I said to the clerk
"That's a unique name, I will record it in the documents for all of you" the clerk said smiling
-Not bad- Dabria said
-Yes, I like it- Ace said
-It's good enough for me- Siege said
"Aunt Olivia, don't worry about your wedding fee, the business will pay for it" I said teasing Olivia
"Why do you always have to tease us" Olivia blushed and John coughed
*****
"Anything else you need little buddy?" dad asked
"Yeah since we're here, we can get a few things" mom added
"Can I buy some D-rank equipments?" I asked
"I know just the place" Dad said
"Ah I heard his daughter is going to take over soon" John said
"I never knew he had a daughter" Mom joined in
"Who are you guys talking about?" Olivia asked, she also seem to be out of the loop like me
"Well we always bought his equipments when us 3 were adventurers, he's pretty good" John answered "His name is Luke Iron, he hired us to protect him this one time, and we were friends ever since, he should be around 50 right now"
"Then his daughter should be about 15 or 16 this time around" dad said
"Well let's go, I want to see him, I haven't seen him since we retired to Rabbit village" mom said
We then went to this medium size house, the sign says 'IRON'S PROUD WORKSHOP', we open the door and head inside.
"I haven't seen you guys in a long time, welcome" said a burly man, he was muscular and is about 165 cm tall, salt and pepper hair and brown eyes.
"Hey Luke, long time no see" Dad greeted
"Seems you and Mary are married and it finally looks like John got his partner"
They are greeted each other.
"This is my girlfriend Olivia" John introduced
"Nice to meet you" Olivia said bowing
"Very pleased to make your acquaintance" Luke replied
"This is our son, Perseus Silver, Perseus say hi"
"It's a pleasure to meet you"
"The first name is a bit pretentious, probably Axel's idea I presumed"
"You're not wrong" John and mom said in unison while nodding their head
"Where are my manners, I should introduce you guys to my daughter. Eliza come here for a sec" Luke shouted to the back
"Need something dad?" A slightly muscular girl with black hair and brown eyes walked in holding a hammer, 169m tall and basically perfect in every angle, not to big and not too small
-She's hot-
-I thought you don't trust people- Dabria retorted
-Be quiet for a minute-
-Well good luck, there's no romance tag for this story-
-Not even 100 words in and he's already cheating on Dabria- Siege grumbled
-Makes for good drama- Ace added
