Episode 152 Cranhouse Completion Ceremony (1)

Earlier this morning, many people are visiting our house.

... Yes, the memorial cranhouse is finally complete.

In other words, the clan "Eternal Sunflower" will finally be in full swing.

Although it is a newly made clan, it is a clan of two princess knights, former first princess of Sylphide and former class B adventurer, who still belongs to Aisha with the holy bow in two names. There's no reason not to get your attention.

Plus this building.

It is also well known that considerable sums have been invested by the royal family.

Nevertheless, taxes and other taxes are not used in any way from the national treasury.

All the money invested is money personally twisted out of the royal family.

Sometimes the former First Princess belongs, but that's the only reason the royal family can't put a ton of money into it.

Considering that I have invested all this money, there is nothing more to say than that clan that is so much expected of the royal family.

Therefore, to say that it is a new clan that has just been formed, it has already been recognised from all around as a being shoulder-to-shoulder with a major clan.

… Yes, the commemorative ceremony will be held today because the cranhouse has been completed.

I insisted I didn't want to do that until the end, but I was strongly persuaded by the king and my brother-in-law that I had to do it.

Well, that's why the town of Lucas currently brings together nobles, leading figures, representatives of other major clans, and so on.

By the way, naturally, or somehow... On behalf of the royal family, Brother Alto is supposed to attend this ceremony, but as the representative of Clan: Alchemy Library, His Highness Lewis is also here. It turned out to be an unusual ceremony where both princes gathered without trying.

"What's wrong, brother-in-law (Mine), look at me like that..."

My brother-in-law asks me when he sees my troubled, uncomfortable expression.

Yeah, brother-in-law...... you know what I'm saying, right? You can see your eyes laughing, can't you?

"My brother-in-law must be nervous!

Oh, well. Aerie was there, wasn't she? There aren't just two princes, there are two princesses (some former princesses though)... I think it's getting more and more exaggerated...

"... No, brother-in-law. You know what I'm saying, right?

"Oh, even if I know. You don't like commemorative ceremonies that much?

"It was the same at the wedding... but no matter how aristocratic I became, I'm a common man, right? You don't like doing something in public like this..."

Spilling stupidity on your brother-in-law, I hear Amy calling me.

"Mine, where are you? It's a customer."

Yeah? Customer...... who is it? I'm here today to greet all the nobles and the powerful, so many people are looking for Sylphi one way or another... Why don't you go anyway?

Tell your brother-in-law and Aerie to spare time and hurry to get to the front door.

"Amy, I'm sorry to keep you waiting. I heard you were a customer...?

Back in the living room, I look around. [M] We can't go into the cranhouse until the ceremony starts, so visitors are in my room. But I don't see anyone like you.

"Oh, Mr. Mine! I was looking, already! Customers are waiting in the front door!

I advised him to go inside and say, "I don't mind if I stay here."

... Who the hell is that? I don't think it's noble from the way it sounds... In the meantime, we have to hurry to the front door! We shouldn't keep our customers waiting!

"... Thank you for waiting! I am Mine Fortuna, the head of the Fortuna family."

When I stepped into the front door with that voice... I was there.

"Whoa! Mine! I'm here to get some speed shoes as promised!!

"Mr. Cashew!

What a "Clan: Rising Dust" leader and former Class A adventurer the customer was, Cashew. Well, if representatives of every major clan are coming, there's no way Mr. Cashew isn't coming!

Speaking of which, he said he was coming to pick up his speed shoes, and I'm guessing this ceremony meant exactly a ship across the street.

"You finally made it... thank you again. This offer was really helpful.

My client didn't get caught inside, it took me so long. But now you can buy it for more than a contract, and it's gonna pay us off for a month. "

I guess I remembered a month in the Labyrinth of Power (Dungeon). Mr. Cashew speaks to me with a thoughtful face. [M]

"So, you think you can give me the stuff now?

"Yes, you'll be fine."

Remove the speed shoe from the storage bag and hand it to the cashew.

Immediately, Mr. Cashew observes the shoes handed to him from up, down, left and right.

"... sure, definitely. Speed shoes. That's the amount..."

"Fine, I'll give you that"

"What?"

I guess one of my words was too unexpected an answer. After a dumb voice, he stares at my face with a flashing expression. Actually, this amount can be the result of discussions at a family meeting.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"Well, it's a speed shoe... how much do you sell it to Mr. Cashew?

That's what I asked Aisha and Silfi as they traded the newly acquired Siersoulier in the Labyrinth of Power (Danziyon) for the speed shoes Aisha had.

"Sir, that's what I'm talking about... why don't I give it to you for free at this time"

"Free? Why?

I was struggling with all that, so I'm sure you'd buy it for a high price, but why would I say to make it free?

"No, isn't it exactly free? I think we just need to get our trust with Cashew at a price. As you know, Cashew is a former A-class adventurer with a very high track record and a high level of trust. Getting acquainted with someone like that is not an opportunity to be honest."

"... but Silfi and Aisha both already know each other, right?

"Oh, I'm sure we've known each other for a long time. But your husband isn't, is he? It makes sense to connect your husband to Cashew's edge. Anyway, our leader is my husband."

When Silfi says so, Aisha opens her mouth, quietly listening to her previous interactions.

"Mine, I agree with the princess. If you're having trouble with money, I think it would be more beneficial to connect Cashew to Myne now that you're not at all in trouble."

Well, I've been poor for a long time, so my heart really moves on the money at hand, but I'm certainly not in any trouble with the money at the moment.

Hunting demons for a little while is completely free of money problems, as before, because they go to the butcher shop and His Highness Lewis' clan for sale. I feel kind of nostalgic when I was hunting the rabbit properly in a trap.

You do have to take care of the connection between people, the fringe thing.

Undoubtedly, the only reason I've ever lived is because of the friendship between people that your father and mother left behind.

Uncle of the butcher, uncle of the arms store, uncle of the armor store, brother of the alchemist.

To the mayor. Parent of the workshop, Mr. Edgar the gatekeeper.... there's nothing to be thankful for.

So I know exactly what Silfi and Aisha are saying.

"Right! Give Mr. Cashew a gift as a sign of your closeness!

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"It's a memorial to getting to know Mr. Cashew!

You finally gave me back when I said that while I nicked, staring at the speed shoe with my head on.

"Hmm, your daughters and daughters are strangers too... is it true to say that couples are alike? All right, I'll thank you. I thought you said you and His Highness Lewis had partnered with this clan. How about you and me?

"Yes! Absolutely! I will be happy to partner with you!

That's how we got comfortable friends.
