Since Bernard didn’t seem to do anything but watch us, there wasn’t much I could do but keep a track of him. That was what I thought, but the next morning when I checked my Map, the mark on him was gone. He had figured out so way to remove it. I made an annoyed sound. This was going to be a pain in the butt. I just wish I knew what he wanted.
“Master, we should get up.” Miki lifted her head from my shoulder.
“Hmm? The store doesn’t open for another day or two.”
“The next match for Carmine is occurring today.” She explained.
I sat up in a rush. “Ah, crap, I forgot to train her!”
Although she was able to deal with her opponents as long as I was giving her boosts, there was still the problem of her not having any fighting talent. She was completely defensive. I had planned to take her out and train her, getting so job like Swordsman for her to fall back on. Not only did she not have a job, but I also hadn’t increased her level at all.
I had been busy the entire week worrying about which targets to hit as well as keeping the store running. As a result, I had completely forgotten about my plans to level Carmine up so that she could be strong enough to battle that undefeated champion when the ti ca.
I could just allow her to win the sa way we let her win last ti, but it was super embarrassing, especially now that we had co out as rchants. This wasn’t just a gladiatorial reputation, but our reputation as rchants that was on the line here.
I jumped out of my bed and hastily started dressing. “What ti? What ti does her match happen?”
“It’ll be in the evening,” Miki explained worriedly.
“Good! There is still ti.” I announced, shoving my way out the door and calling for everyone.
“You want to go level now?” Carmine asked worriedly after I told everyone the plan. “Shouldn’t I be taking my ti and going easy today in preparation for the fight?”
“No ti! We need to get you in a fighting position. Maybe, if I have you do all the hard-hitting, you’ll get so kind of job. I just can’t believe that in your entire life, the only job you ever unlocked was Paladin. I just wish there was another job we could give you instantly that could increase your strength.”
“Ah… isn’t there?” Shao asked.
“What do you… oh! Of course!” I felt stupid for not thinking of it earlier.
I reached into my pocket and pulled out a token. It was one of ten such tokens, my Knight’s token. Of course, Raissa had already taken one of these tokens, but I decided not to hand them out lightly. I also wasn’t going to give Carmine one of the counterfeit ones, although they seed to work just as well.
This token was much more important though since it signified the trust the King had put in , and I was putting into whoever I selected. Once they beca a Knight, they would be my retainer, and also collect a salary from . Of course, if that person happened to be my slave, I could forgo those things.
“Carmine, will you be my Knight?” I asked, pulling out my token.
“Yes, yes, a thousand tis, yes!” Carmine jumped up and threw her arms around , her big chest pushing against my own.
Suddenly, we were kissing. I was very confused. Did I ask her sothing else by accident? The girls were crying through smiles, and Salicia said sothing like “about ti.” I seriously didn’t get it, could soone explain it to ?
