After the bell installed on the door rang, it was a gentle young man who came into the store several times with a nice sound of shoes on his ear.
"Hi, Maurice. You seem to be doing a lot of fun.You want me to mix it up?
"Ah, you!
"Whoa, let her go."
Releasing his hand from me in a hurry, Baron Maurice, in a straight position, is sweating cold from his forehead.
I thought it was very different from what I had just stepped on, but I rubbed my wrist a little red.
"Miss, are you okay?Ah, it seems to have become a little red.It seemed to have been held very tightly.Hey, Maurice?
"Ha! But I'm sorry!
"- You're not telling me, are you?
As the young man smiled dimly, Baron Maurice sweated further and apologized as he rubbed his head against the counter.
I replied with a slight pull to the blood phase, hah...Because Sarah is not willing to forgive me.
"Maurice, we'll deal with this later.Explain what happened. Briefly summarize the main points as much as possible. "
Baron Maurice began explaining what had happened while moving his eyes from side to side, covering his forehead with a handkerchief.The explanation was made in the same way that a subordinate reported it to his or her manager.
I wonder who this young man is...
Whatever you're wearing is a first-class item.And sophisticated movements... noble from anywhere.
But was there such a young man in the nobility?
Blue hair close to a slightly longer dark blue, with dark blue eyes like the hair.I looked at the report from the baron and turned the nobility register in my head at a high speed, but I still can't remember.
- That's funny.
Looking at what I was wearing and my behavior, I thought I was quite a nobleman...
If you are a high-ranking nobleman, you will definitely face each other at a show, tea party, evening party, etc.And if it's Rachel's head, the nobles we met once will be remembered.
Hmm... when I thought about it, the young man turned to me.
Ah, I see. Ma'am, can I see that stone?
You saved my life, but this young man is not on our side.Thinking about what to do, the young man grabbed my hand, which was holding the stone with a gentle smile.
"It's okay. I promise I'll have Maurice do a proper appraisal and buy it for a good price.Can you leave it to me?
Young people's eyes don't seem to be lying.
Ah, please give me collateral
This is one of the things I learned when I went down to Ichii.
Anyone who seems like a good person has darkness, and money brings out people's darkness well.Personally, I'd like to believe about this young man, but this stone is important to Thomas, so it's not as easy as that.
Seeing the youth with such a strong will, the youth surprised his eyes.After reacting as if I had seen something unusual, I smiled lightly, took off my cufflinks and gave them to me.
The gems that adorned the cufflinks were crafted from magic gems that we were about to sell.
"Is this collateral?
"Uh-huh, yeah.Here you go. "
No collateral, nothing, nothing more than this cufflinks that have been machined with gold.I was confused by giving you something more amazing than I thought.
The young man began to instruct Maurice to take the stone from me with pleasure.
Maurice pulled herself into the back of the shop with her head down, and brought a bag and a check and put them on the counter.
"Ahhh, the condition is very good, but there are a lot of impurities around... and when you remove them... besides, things of this size aren't so unusual... well, maybe this much..."
Maurice, while sweating cold, played with a calculator like the one she knew well in her previous life to show off to the young man, and the young man nodded with his hand on his chin.
"-6 million yards... well, that's reasonable."
Hundreds of millions of things are in good condition and big, but what Thomas's brother picked wasn't so unusual.Still, it's a lot of money for civilians to make over the years.
"Ro, Ropyakun..."
Thomas is surprised that his mouth is squeaky.
"That's right. What do you want me to do?Do you want to sell it? "
The young man asks us with a smile.
Thomas and I met today for the first time and had nothing to do with it, but this kid gave us a good experience.And with 6 million yards, the future Thomas family envisioned would be a bit distant.
I quietly nodded one in my heart and then decided to take another skin off for Thomas.
When you decide to do that, you say, "Yes, I'll sell it!With Thomas behind his back, I started negotiating while showing the young man the cufflinks.
"Excuse me, what about you?
"Oh, excuse me.You didn't name it.I'm Sean.It's like the owner of this store... "
You're not going to name your family...
Does the fact that you are noble mean that you are not named after being found out? Is there a guilty reason to hide your identity...?
"Really... well, I guess I'd rather talk to you than this Baron Maurice, Mr. Sean."
"Uh-huh... I always leave it to Maurice.I stuck my neck in the middle of nowhere today, and I can't help it.- All right, lady.What do you want?
The young man named Sean looks at us with his arms folded somewhere pleasantly, with his back slightly on the counter.
"- Please increase the compensation and shutdown fee."
"Oneesan!
Thomas tried to rush out of his back to stop, but he gently gripped Thomas's hand with the feeling that he believed me.
"Hee... come up with something interesting, miss."
"Ah, I still have a pretty big (...) te (...).Like your Maurice, I don't think this is your first offense. "
I smiled at Baron Maurice.
"Te (...) Te (...)... hey..."
I kept showing Sean the cufflinks I had just left behind, without breaking his smile.
"Yeah. I had a few reasons to keep you from giving me a family name.I can't go into much detail... well, the rumor that this neighborhood was just filled with jewelry because it threatened a weak kid... can't be heard overnight.The aristocrats are very concerned about the reputation of the creature, so you're worried that people will show up to buy jewels in such a well-known shop, rather than sell them in the future?……
When I rolled my fingers at Nianya and the cufflinks, Maurice, whose face turned bright red, barked from the counter.
"You bastard!... you little bitch!Stay calm!
"Oh, Maurice... I wonder where she's gone.Speaking of which, is it because you behaved impudently?Besides, my guess is correct.- You're not the first, are you?
"You rat!
Shut up, Maurice.
Maurice, who was about to get past the counter, stopped moving in Sean's cold words.
"That's all!
"I said shut up... can you hear me?Maurice "
Sean's cold voice echoed indoors, and the air froze indoors.Maurice trembles at the counter, as if the momentum earlier had been a lie.
"Maurice... I'll tell you what to do after this is done.Don't open a notch until then.Everything. - Nod once, if you understand. "
Baron Maurice nodded slowly in fear, trembling.
Thomas behind me trembled in the freezing cold air created by the gentle young man who was looking forward to it earlier.
