Price of Management

If you dispose of the restaurant now and flee to the countryside, you will not be able to recover after the aftermath of the Great Famine and return to the boom. Then the land will be expensive again.

‘I need to get the money together first. ’

Still, I have worked as the owner of a high-end restaurant for years. I can borrow money just by name.

The next day, Julia left the restaurant to the chefs and waiters to borrow money.

But her expectations were fabulous.

Lending money was not easy. It's because no one had the money to spare.

After visiting Muller, who was a regular customer, and begging him to lend money, Muller said that he was in trouble touching his mustache.

“Even the Merchant Guild can't help you now because it's a bad time for money. ”

“What can I do? My restaurant is ruined. ”

“Ha, I'd lend you some of Julia's delicious dishes, too. But where does anyone have money these days? I don't know if it's after school.”

“Hehe, Müller…. ”

Julia opens her eyes to tears as an emergency. It was a way not to use a lot of pride.

Muller was surprised when Julia wept.

“Oops! Please don't do this, Julia. I can't pay my employees, so I'm gonna have to fire them. ”

“Ahhhh!”

This time it's a sit-down, full-grown song operation.

I haven't used it since I was four years old because I wanted to have it.

Instead of beating your pride on the pavement, it works best.

Mueller, who was thinking about sweating coldly, just bounced his fingers to see if there was a good idea.

“Ah! Yes! ”

“Ahhhh! Ahh! ”

As she wept hard, Julia glanced at Muller's face.

Muller calms her down, saying.

“There is one person. There's only one person here in Leaden City with money rotting away! ”

“Hehe, who is that? ”

“Caroc Kunt! The information I barely got tells me that I delivered tens of thousands of sacks of wheat to the royal family and received tens of thousands of Redinas, titles and lands in return. I heard he was awarded his title yesterday, so I'm sure he's still here. ”

“Caroc...? ”

It's the same name as the thief who stole a patron like yesterday's lifeline.

“A trident of the Kunt writer. Though less than twenty years old, he's quite adept. ”

Tying!

Less than 20 years old.

His name is Caroc.

It's him!

Was he that great?

It seemed like a lot of money to give a woman more than 100 redinas of expensive robes....

Tens of thousands of Redina... The title and territory...

If I had such success at such a young age, how would I have done so well?

Julia wakes up, sobbing.

“I'm going! Thank you, Mr. Muller. ”

“Huh? Mmm-hmm, yeah. ”

“Goodbye. If you ever go to another restaurant, you're a traitor! I'm gonna kill myself! ”

As the bride and groom ran away, Julia ran away.

Mueller faints, looking behind him.

“Weren't you... crying? ”

That's why women are like monsters.

I stayed at the inn for a day. The next day, Sis left the Magic Guild with all her belongings.

However, an old wizard with a goatee was relentlessly following up on the sheath with offers like this.

“Since you're already in 3 circles, you should work harder to keep up with the 4 circles. ”

“No.”

“Come on, I'll give you 100 Redinas for each of my special four circle magic. Opportunities like this are really rare... ”

“No.”

What, those little kids, those old perverts?

“Sis, who is that? ”

“Teacher.”

I looked at the old wizard.

The old wizard said.

“I am Dylan, Wizard of the Magic Guild. ”

“Baron Caroc Kunt. ”

Dylan, who treated me like a baron, was flawed.

“Well, is that so? Greetings, baron. ”

“But what business do you have with cis? ”

“Th-that's... that's right. Sis is a great talent. Maybe for the first time in my life, I have a gift for being the Grand Wizard. Shouldn't we invest more money to continue practicing magic? ”

He didn't seem to value Sis much. Tsk, tsk, it says "I want money" on my face.

“So, Wizard Dylan, do you think Sis should continue to learn magic in the Magic Guild? ”

“Yes.”

“How long do I have to keep going? ”

“Yes? That's ……. ”

“For life?”

“Yes. There is no end to magic.... ”

“But it doesn't seem like a happy life. It's not how much you've accomplished, it's how satisfied you've been. I'll take Sis with me. Don't worry about her anymore. ”

“ ……. ”

I walked with cis behind Dylan, who was devastated.

I thought I felt something.

Dylan dashes away empty-handed. You must have heard of a meeting about your life.

How miserable it must be to be so obsessed with magic that you realize that all you have left is yourself who is so full of pride because you don't have the money to spend on magic research.

But it is only through that pain that man grows. And I know I can lead a better life.

“Sis, can you ride a horse? ”

The sheath shakes her head.

“Then I'll buy a wagon. Let's get a wagon today and leave tomorrow. ”

The sheath nods.

But it was then.

“Hey!"

I hear a familiar voice, and I see Julia rushing towards me with her wavy red hair.

You lunge at a fierce speed, or nearly burst into a reflexive roar.

“Julia? You still have business with us? ”

“Heheh, heh, heh…. ”

Knng!

Julia grabbed the sleeve of my Troll Leather jacket and breathed a harsh breath.

If I don't grab this, I'm not going anywhere.

After taking a breather for a while, Julia gives an example with a slight lift on her skirt.

“I didn't know you yesterday and I was rude. It's an honor to meet you, Baron Carroc Kunt. ”

“You know me? ”

“Of course. I was so ashamed that I didn't see the famous Baron yesterday... ”

Speaking in a quiet voice, Julia covers her mouth and smiles softly.

It was creepy because it was completely different from yesterday's appearance.

You figured me out in one day, by the way?

That's pretty impressive.

Not many people can notice that I got to know the king yesterday and received my title in one day.

Only giants with strong information networks know that.

I can't believe the owner of this diner noticed that. It was wider than I thought.

“What? Don't act. Tell me what you need. ”

I said, Julia's eyes twitched for a moment.

“Oh ho, no acting. I just... ”

“Don't be shy, it's creepy. Tell me quickly. You need money, right?"

We need to get this over with.

Don't you know time is gold?

“Yes!”

Suddenly, Julia falls flat.

“What, what? ”

I was surprised, too. What kind of woman falls in front of someone?

You're more direct than I am!

“Lend me some money! I'm tired!”

“…… what do I believe and lend you money? What's in it for you? ”

“Three hundred…… No, if you lend me five million, I'll pay you double or 30% interest in a year! I have one credit for sure. There's no one on the floor who doesn't know Julia! ”

“Really?"

I grabbed a middle-aged man on the way and asked him.

“Do you know him? ”

“Who cares? ”

The chubby middle-aged man disappears.

“You don't know?”

“That's because he's not the bottom person! If you really are Julia Lauren, you're a beacon of beauty and trust! ”

“…… I really have nothing to say. Since when did such a pronoun arise...? ”

Julia Lauren?

At that moment, the memories of my past life struck me.

Lauren Merchants Guild!

A merchant guild that wrinkles continents that appear later. The Loren Merchants Guild owner is known as a woman, but that's her name...

“Is her name Julia Lauren? ”

“Yes! Please believe me! What?”

Huh... How did this happen?

I can't believe I'm meeting Julia Lauren, a woman called the Golden Lady in the future.

Yeah, now I remember.

Julia Lauren, a fallen nobleman, becomes a lover of an old nobleman who fails to do business in the Kingdom of Leaden and is in debt promptly.

But when the old nobleman is too old and his lust is gone, he gives her some money to get rid of her.

After much hardship in life, Julia Lauren was a dominant woman until she started and ended her business with the money she received without giving in.

I was greatly impressed when I heard that story in my previous life. I wonder if there's such a strong woman.

Of course, her life was not easy, but it was a great life, wasn't it?

In my previous life, I lived as a medium-sized merchant until I became a ninety-year-old papa grandfather, but I couldn't help but be great because I became the owner of the Giant Merchant Guild with the woman's body.

But the childhood of such a strong woman is right in front of me...

Bang, bang!

“Please! ”

Julia now begs with her head on the ground.

... Yes, you look strong.

No, this looks too strong.

By the way, Julia Lauren is right in front of me! Is this a good opportunity?

“Come on, get up. ”

I got her up.

“Why do you want to make so much money? ”

“Everyone has one life. ”
