Chapter 342: Troubleso Hoi Hoi 4
『Is another piece the sa assessnt?』(Pauline)
The rchant nods silently to Pauline’s question. Apparently, his limit of self-control was close.
『Shall we bring out another one?
Ah, we should have brought the other one by taking out our other luggage instead...』(Rena)
Rena talks to Mile but rembers their blunder.
『Well, we have free ti, we should go back and bring the other one to sell at the sa ti』(Pauline)
According to Pauline’s words, Mile re-stores the scale on the table.
『Ah......』(rcht)
The rchant wanted to stop Pauline and Mile to secure this one for the ti being, but if he desperately said he will buy one to the girls who said they will return soon with another one, it would be overtly unnatural.
If the girls got suspected and visited other firms, it would be difficult. So his highest priority is to behave as naturally as possible and not be suspicious.
If the girls just go back and forth straight from here to the inn, the information may not leak to other shops or these little girls may get extra wisdom.
The rchant thought so and sent off the girls with a smile, suppressing his deviating heart.
* * *
『......it is perfect. Everyone, well done』(Pauline)
Pauline cheer for the other three.
『That firm is the main lender of the loan shark, so all we have to do is manipulate information. And don’t lie, don’t deceive others, just do a shaless deal...』(Pauline)
Lie... (T.N: I believe English speaker often use the word “BS” in this case, but it’s sowhat heavy)
No one could believe in those words with Pauline’s bad laughing face.
『Then, the rest is as scheduled...』(Pauline)
『Yes, it’s a neglected play!』(Rena? Mile?)
* * *
The next day, when “Red Oath” ca checking at the Guild Branch and a man whose blood had rushed into his head yelled.
『Why didn’t you co?!』(rcht)
Yes, the rchant of the loanshark firm.
It’s not a clerk or a security guard but the rchant himself,
Waiting for the hunters who may not co at all tis like this,
Unless he is not too busy, it’s an act that normally he shouldn’t be doing.
『Another piece of scale... You should have returned soon for the sale! Why didn’t you co back?!』(rcht)
The rchant swallowed the word “scale” in a hurry and changed it to “sale”.
It would be obvious. Speaking out loud in such a place, other people may co together and, if he does a bad job, the girls will know what it is and how valuable it is. He had to change places.
『Anyway, co to my store!』(rcht)
The rchant grabs Mile’s arm, who is the youngest and seems to be the weakest and lightest and pulls her out of the guild. The idea is that if he pulls one, others will automatically follow him. And in fact, the remaining three shrugged their shoulders and followed.
Of course, if Mile doesn’t walk in the sa direction, she wouldn’t be dragged so easily, no matter how light she was. It’s just an act of dragging.
『『『『『『Hey hey hey ......』』』』』(Other hunters)
Behind the scenes, so of the hunters and guild officials who have begun to understand Mile’s group power to so extent due to the copper slashing demonstration of Maevis, the defeat of the Soil Dragon, and the “Mithril’s Roar”. But the rchant didn’t realize what those voices ant.
* * *
『So why didn’t you co back soon after yesterday?!』(rcht)
For the ti being, he seems to be trying to use polite words to the custor, but rather than a smile like yesterday, a rchant had a rugged face and a tight tone. He seems quite anxious.
Well, it’s not surprising that he might not have been able to sleep all night last night.
This is a secluded room in his store. The rchant brought the “Red Oath” party into a special room designed to be soundproof, shouted without trying to suppress his voice.
... No, no one knows what it is for the custor, maybe it isn’t.
It would be a blunder for a sly aged rchant to behave like this, but these little girls have broken their promise, false report along with the anger over having to spend a sleepless night, it can’t be helped that he screams.
『No, in fact, we were going to return soon, but the mother and child we knew seed to be in trouble because they couldn’t repay the debt, so we gave it to them...』(Pauline)
『What... What did you say?! 』(rcht)
The rchant hears Pauline’s explanation and screams.
No matter how much soundproofing the room has, this scream will definitely sound throughout the store ...
『Wha...wha...wha... why... why... why ...why ...』(rcht)
(T.N: his word is only Na (Nani=what) and Do (Doshite=why))
The voice of the rchant was not decent.
After a while, words that finally made sense ca out.
『Why, why...?』(rcht)
And Pauline responds without delay.
『No, as I said. It was the people who took care of us. Even if we sold it, we would only get 14 small gold coins. So, we think we’d better give it to them...』(Pauline)
Upon hearing this, the rchant was jerking his mouth with a pale face, but not vocal.
『That’s why we didn’t co back to sell them.
We didn’t have a formal contract but just price-checking with you. And we didn’t say “sell” to you, so there’s no problem, right?』(Pauline)
There is a great problem.
However, it’s a “problem for the rchant owner” and it’s not a kind of complaint about not being able to buy them.
Sohow, he has to get that.
He thought so, the rchant’s head was running at maximum.
『Well, the person you gave it away ...』(rcht)
『Eh?
No, it doesn’t matter to you, right?
Hunters don’t talk to others about people’s personal information, you know.
And about that debt...
Now, we have no more products to sell, aren’t we?
Please excuse ... let’s go back, everyone!』(Pauline)
『『『Ha~i (Ye~s)!』』』(Mile’ Trio)
Mile’ Trio smile and reply.
And “ah, no, wait, please wait”, Red Oath ignored the rchant and returned.
* * *
『Find her! Look for a woman who has been given the scale of the Ancient Dragon!!
If she has a debt, you can get information by asking our finance departnt to look up.
Make sure you don’t leak the information to the other stores and find her out imdiately, hurry!!』(rcht)
Imdiately after “Red Oath” left, the shout of the rchant echoed.
* * *
『The preparation is over. Now, we just need to watch the fool dance.』(Pauline)
Pauline was explaining to everyone while leaving the store and returning to the inn.
『Another actor’s performance has reached a satisfactory point as a result of practice. Let ’s expect a great performance』(Pauline)
Three people nodded in Pauline’s words.
* * *
And before noon the next day.
『What luck... I’m so lucky!
To think the person who got the scales was my money borrower in the financial sector...
And it seems that his wife is repaying the debt in the absence of the shopkeeper, she doesn’t know the value of those scales and saying that she wants to use those “Wyvern-Scale-like” as the repaynts for the debt...
What luck!
I’m scared of being loved by the goddess of business!
Fu~ha.
Fu~hahahahaha!』(rcht)
After hearing reports from his subordinates, the rchant could not stop laughing.
『Okay, after lunch, I will visit that rchant’s shop imdiately!
Call in the finance departnt!
Inform the other party that I will visit in the afternoon.
Fu~ha.
Fu~hahaha ......』(rcht)
