Entering the shower room after that troublesome start, I decided to wash the sand scattered on my body from yesterday’s battle.
There was a reason as to why I suddenly raised my voice. It’s because I just realized that there was shampoo here as well. I was so absorbed in cleaning the scribbles off my face that I thought they only had solid soap ready.
I took the bottle filled with shampoo into my hand. Then noticed that there was something like a paper on the bottle.
Will be considered as a purchase for 1 gold upon use。
……Oioi。So it’s not free. Well of course……it’s a luxury item after all。
「Shit」
Myne had already used it, so it’s already considered a purchase. Even if I protested about this to Myne herself, she’d simply reply that it’s to wash the scribbles off her face.
Well, everything seemed to turn for the worse after I casually drew those whiskers on Myne’s cheeks. If I could return back in time, I’d prevent that from happening with all my might.
I had received retribution both physically and financially. There was no choice but to cover my losses with the reward money from the sand golem core. I assumed that it would be quite a lot. Surely it would be enough to cover the expense of this gold coin.
I’m looking forward to it. If I have a lot of money, what will I do…? Meanwhile, let’s just eat this freshly baked bread. Also this soup with large amount of meat in it. I felt giddy just from thinking about it.
If Greed was here, he would’ve told me to stop the unnecessary thoughts and wash my head quickly. However, while I was still deep in thought…
「Are you not done yet, hurry up. I want to leave here soon」
When I finally got out of the bathroom all refreshed, I saw Myne had already prepared for the next trip, and now was laying on the bed.
「So slow……I got tired of waiting」
Just from being stared at by those red eyes, what is… this overwhelming sense of intimidation?
「Well, brighten up your mood a little, here, I’ll give you this」
I placed the shampoo I had purchased on Myne’s belly.
Taking Greed on my hip and the bag on my back, I was about to leave the room with Myne, but,
「Whoops, I have to put this on beforehand」
Then why did she praise me in the first place? Good grief….this, only made me even more in doubt about whether I could really get along with Myne or not.
While I was busy worrying, Myne called me out from the first floor.
I think she’s just playing with me. When I’m about to pay for the lodging, Myne went ahead and was about to leave the lodging. I stopped her in a haste, since there was still something left to do.
Arriving at the exchange office, the employee actually had waited for me.
「Welcome back, Mukuro-sama. Here is the reward for defeating the sand golem」
I held my breath when the gold was being put on the table. For real… Is this really okay? These are a lot!
Thankfully I was wearing the skull mask. Otherwise, I’d definitely show an inappropriate face upon seeing the 100 gold coins.
But 100 gold was a lot of money. I don’t even know how I would spend it all.
Let’s put it inside the bag until I come up with something.
When I looked around as I stashed the gold at the bottom of my bag, I found Myne gazed at my hand so much with desire, like a beggar waiting for alms.
「I have received the money, shall we get going?」
Ooh! This is bad. All of his stats are more than 1 million. His appearance betrays his real prowess. This, is an actual Holy Knight.
Holy Knight Rudolf approached me, then asked with a scorn in his voice.
Then he looked around me with a gaze that looks like he’s about to lick me in the face. To be honest, it’s disgusting.
Apparently, the Holy Knights of this region took notice of me for successfully killing the Sand Golem that had been evading them for years. And for that they had decided to reward me by recruiting me into their ranks.
Even on the royal capital, the Holy Knight’s authority is exceptional. Even more so in this city ruled solely by them. What should I do….I hesitantly placed my palm on Greed.
These Holy Knight isn’t someone who we can talk with. That eyes look down on others very much so. Perhaps, if I really become his subordinate, it’ll more like being his pet.
The Holy Knight approached me, going closer by seconds.
「Come, be my subordinate. If you follow obediently, I’ll make your life easier.」
「That’s no good. Mukuro has prior appointment with me」
「You immature kid should just go home, sleep quietly with your mother. Then……Guaaaaaaaaaaaaa」
Aaaaa……what? It all happened in a flash。
Myne then said to me with a refreshed face.
