Chapter 569 – Prada
My na is Prada.
I’m a devil that has lived for a long ti.
I’ve been rampaging in the past but I’ve quieted down lately.
That’s because our boss beca a dragon’s follower.
We’re working for dragons now.
I don’t want to be a dragon’s enemy after all.
Ah, don’t get wrong.
I won’t lose to a dragon.
I can blow one up anyti I want.
The dragons I don’t want to offend are the ancient dragons.
Those guys are cheat existence.
I don’t even dare challenge one.
Our boss challenged one.
I admire him.
But I won’t follow his footsteps.

Now.
I have two colleagues, or perhaps old friends. They are called Bulga and Stifano.
They are devils like and as for their strength….maa, as strong as .
Maybe.
No, they might be a bit stronger but I can win if I can plan the battle in advance so it’s okay.
The two of them have been on a business trip as maids of Rasuti-sama.
Rasuti-sama is the daughter of that dragon.
She rampages every now and then and I thought that there’s no way soone will marry her but she’s already married before I knew it.
Maa, let’s leave Rasuti-sama’s story aside.
Bulga and Stifano seem to be enjoying themselves on their business trip.
Every ti they ca back, they boasted how the food was delicious.
And it seems like they can fight against strong opponents too.
I’m a little envious.
However, the thing that I had envied more of them is the piece of art called reward dal.
I have an eye for arts.
I love artistic things.
The mont I saw the reward dal, I fell in love with it at first sight.
I want it.
I absolutely want it.
However, they did not give it away.
I did my best to persuade them but I failed.
When I skipped my work due to disappointnt, the boss got angry.
I’m sorry.

The lamias ca to our place carrying a bunch of luggage.
They are doing this regularly.
We take the luggage from the lamias and bring it to an inn located a little far away from where we are working.
It is basically just handing over the goods to the rchant who’ll co to the inn.
It’s troubleso but not a hard job.
Just a regular thing.
Or so I thought until I saw that thing on the luggage carrier….that lamia’s necklace is sothing I know.
The necklace isn’t anything notable.
However, there’s a reward dal fitted in the center of the necklace.
…….
I did my best.
I sticked up to her.
I negotiated persistently.
Because of that, I managed to get the reward dal on the necklace in exchange for most of my collection.
I get what I want.
I’m that kind of woman.
I looked at the reward dal with a smile and when I skipped my work for three days, I was beaten by the boss.
It hurts.

The boss found out that I had a reward dal and ca to investigate how I managed to get one.
Of course, I negotiated with the lamia gently.
I did not coerce her.
That was a legitimate transaction.
She did not complain.
Think of what I’ve done?
I asked in a polite tone.
Is everything okay?
Of course.
It is forbidden to let the reward dal reach the outside world?
That’s natural.
Why would I even let this go?
I’ve already decided to treasure it.

Several years later.
We received the luggage like usual and brought it to the rchant and his adventurer guards at the inn.
Originally, the rchant would pick up the luggage in our workplace but the inn was built for their accommodation and to accommodate the delivery.
Since there’s an inn, it has beco customary for the rchant and his adventurer guards to stay overnight.
It is now possible for them to stay in an inn prepared by dragons.
However, it is us who manage the inn.
It’s our job.
Maa, the guests are almost the sa mbers so everyone’s comfortable with each other.
Now, it’s ti for the ga after dinner.
It has beco our job to crush them until bedti.
I like to play against a certain person.
He likes intellectual gas like reversi, chess, and mahjong.
He’s not bad at mini bowling either.
While playing, we bet money.
It’s not a big amount. Just enough to make the gas better.
Gas are used for entertainnt so it is wrong to play seriously.
This ti, I beca the fourth.
Even so, I enjoyed playing mahjong with the adventurers.

By the way, I have a reward dal.
It is important so I put it in a hidden pocket in my wallet.
…..
I’ll be honest.
I also like gambling.
And I’m the hot-headed type gambler.
Do you get what I an?
Three days after the rchants and adventurers left, I noticed my blunder.
After I lost to a gamble, I gave my wallet to the other party.

I chase.
The rchant.
No, the adventurer guards.
That familiar one.
I know his hobby.
I’ll be able to find him soon.
Where are you!?

A month passed.
Though it’s important, I can’t skip work since it will anger boss.
And I finally found him.
He was in Marla in Shashaato City.
It was surprising to see him so drunk.
However, I don’t care about that now.
Even if he’s drunk, I need to get my wallet back….
Yeah, stop drinking.
「Oi oi, maid-neechan. Don’t be rude. Just let him drink as much as he like today.」
After that, the next words of the adventurer drinking beside him made feel despair.
「This guy just got his wallet stolen.」
