Chapter 17
Chapter 17 . Shopping with all your money .
I distanced myself from Helena-hime . Looking bashful as she looked down, she looked super cute .
“Umm… . . ”
“Un . ”
“Maiden of royalty can only have one man in her entire life, it has been decided like that so . . ”
“Un?”
I immediately able to guess what was she mean by saying those word . I am her first man, and thus, will always be .
TLN: Well that escted quickly .
That was what Helena-hime trying to say .
“Un, I understand . ”
“Although it will be quite hard for me to move into Kakeru-sama ce for now . ” Helena made a saddened look .
“You words alone are more than enough, I’ll be waiting . ”
“Haii—-!”
And thus, Helena had be my woman .
***
The following day . Miu was holding something as she entered the room where I was rxing .
“Master, a letter for you . ”
“Letter for me?”
I received the letter from Miu, looking at the surface of the letter there was a crest which I had seen before .
“It’s from Saramas Firm . ”
I wonder what is it, to send me something like this .
I opened the letter and took the paper inside out, and read the spread out the paper .
(Bill, it’s that girl price . )
I heard a voice resonated inside my head . As I cannot read this world’s writing I am really grateful for that .
“I see, he did say they will deal with the billter after I bought Miu the other day, so it was that . ”
“Was it about me?”
“What’s wrong?”
“300 silver, to think that I would I worth that much money . ”
“300?”
I don’t know the market price for it but, I don’t think that Saramas would do something like overcharging, well . I did think it should be around that amount .
“Well then, I guess I’ll go and pay it up . ”
***
I used the Warp Wing bringing 300 silver coins with me and went to Saramas firm and paid Miu’s bill . A number of silver coins were a little bit bulky so it was quite hard to bring .
“Certainly, I have received 300 silver coins, and here is the certificate . ”
I received a splendid piece of paper with the character of “Saramas Firm” written on it .
“Thank you for doing business with ourpany . ”
“Ah, if there’s anything else that I need I’ll be seeing you again . ”
“Which reminds me Yuuki-sama . Have you heard the rumors that the Kingdom are issuing a new type of currency soon?”
“Heee?”
My heart skipped a beat . Probably it was the matter where I suggested Iris-hime to change the currency to a paper bill . Of course, I knew that, but I kept it to myself .
“That’s a news to me . Is it often the case where a new currency would be issued?”
“No, it only happens when the ruling kingdom changed . Normally it would not be the case . ”
“Is that so . ”
I heard a lot of rumors regarding the soon to be issued paper bill . Originally it was a matter that I proposed to Iris-hime, furthermore it’s a thing that I pretend not to know . Thinking about the type of rumors, it should be on that level at least .
Only, deciding the unit of money is the new thing that I heard . Probably it would be like ‘yen’ or ‘dor’ or maybe something along the line .
“By the way, it has caught my attention since earlier but . The thing that Yuuki-sama got on your waist, is that…”
“Hn? Ah, is it regarding Eleanor?”
I picked up the cursed sword from my waist and showed it to Saramas .
Though ‘she’ has been quite obedienttely since we started our cooperation, but it still quite dangerous for others to touch thus I’ve always kept it by my side .
“As I thought it’s the cursed sword, Eleanor . To think that you would have something like that . ”
“I’ll say this beforehand . It won’t sell it . ”
As I remembered that Saramas is a merchant, I said it as a reminder .
***
I exit from the firm . When I was about to use the Warp Wing to teleport back to my mansion, I realized that there was something that shines came out from my pocket . I was greatly surprised when I pulled it out .
It was a lottery ticket . I have used all the 10 lottery tickets that I had to draw it 11 times, but why would there be a lottery ticket left in my pocket .
I somehow had a suspicion—-
Miu’s certificate .
After I paid for Miu’s certificate of 300 silver, I got one lottery ticket .
“Is it because I bought something and thus I was given a lottery ticket— is that it?”
As of nowadays, it’s a normal thing in Japan but this is another world . I was not able to make a positive proof as it was a weird lottery .
That’s why I decided to do an experiment .
***
The total asset that I had with me was close to 2000 silver coins . I brought it all out in the city . I used one silver to have a meal but, I didn’t get any lottery tickets . I went to the tailor, and I got Miu’s maid outfit made . I spent about 10 coins but the lottery tickets never appeared .
I went to a shop one after another and bought a lot of things, I used about 100 silver coins but still I didn’t get any lottery ticket .
This new lottery ticket, so buying from the market was not the cause for it to appear? Then, there is the second possibility that I could think off .
I bought something from Saramas Firm, using arge amount of money at that .
☆
“Wee in, oh my . Isn’t Yuuki-sama? Is there anything that I can help you with?”
“A little bit, there’s something that I need you to prepare for me . ”
“Please state whatever thing that you had in mind,” Saramas said it with his merchant look .
Now then, first off I’ll try buying something casual .
“I need furniture, some furniture that I had back in the mansion had aged quite a lot so I would like to change them . ”
“Certainly . ”
“If that so then, it would cost about 25 silver coins, how about it?”
“I’ll leave it to you . ”
After I count the silver coins up to 25 I then passed it over to Saramas .
“Thank you for doing business with us . I will have it prepared immediately . ”
“Please do,” I replied and wait for a while .
There was no appearance of a lottery ticket .
Does it not have anything to do with Saramas Firm, if that so then would it be the cost? I gave a thought about something and once again asked for Saramas .
“I’d like to buy a painting . ”
“Painting is it?”
“Yeah, a painting that you would usually put inside a waiting room, a painting with frame . I don’t really have any knowledge regarding painting so please find me the one that is priced about 300 silver coins . ”
300 silver coins amounted to Miu’s worth . The lottery ticket might appear if I spent the right amount .
“I understand . ”
“Well then, this is the 300 silver coins . ”
“Certainly we have received the payment . However for this one, it will take some time for it to be arranged…”
“I’ll leave it all to you . ”
It was already within my expectation as I just bought something expensive . Rather than that, lottery ticket . I feel around my pocket area and then… It’s there!
The lottery ticket that was not there until recently had appeared . Taking Miu’s payment and the transaction that I had just now, it matched the condition . In another word, I will get a lottery ticket when I bought something expensive . With that set, I won’t hold back .
I walked toward Saramas with the lottery ticket (Saramas can’t see the ticket) and take out all the silver that I had left .
“I have about 1 600 silver coins left, what else can I buy with this?”
“… . . What a unique shopping that you have . ” Saramas said with a faint smile .
His reaction is just reasonable, if I look it from his point of view certainly I would feel the same .
However, from my point of view .
This money is just something that I need to spend on something to obtain the lottery ticket . I don’t really care to do an actual shopping .
“Please wait for a while . ” Saramas said and withdrawn himself for a while beforeing back with a tray in his hold .
It was a golden bracelet with a jewel embedded on it .
“This is?”
“TThis is something that is quite popr among the upper echelons gentlemen these days . By putting this on the woman in your harem, you make them as your personal possession . ”
“Hee…”
“This is a sample . As it’s solely built to be imed as one’s property, we’re arranging it depending on the clients request . Like for instance, as a gold bracelet with jewels inscribed on it . ”
That is interesting .
Item that allows you to possess a harem .
It doesn’t seem that I’ll have the chance to use it anytime soon, but for the meantime, I’ll just buy it .
“Well then give me that one which equivalent to 1 600 silver coins . ”
“Then it would be four bracelets, are you fine with it?”
“Yeah . ”
I took out the rest of silver coin along with the cloth bag and Saramas begun counting .
“Certainly I’ve received the payment . ” The moment Saramas said it, once again the lottery ticket appeared on my pocket . This time, there were five of it!
