Vol 1 Chapter 17 (1/2)
“Keep the change Never say I dine and dash”
Miss “Footsteps of Death” put one gold coin on the counter so that Fujiwara could inspect it and store it away For reference, a gold coin is exactly a thousand Gerun, so there were no coppers for change It was pointless to point this out however, so Fujiwara didn’t bother
“I don’t care any home”
Sheher feet
Fujias feeling quite refreshed from this, but he still wasn’t quite done yet
He needed to find a way to take out a harass of the like
“Dear customer I do hope you pay the rest of the payment before you leave”
“What? I just paid!”
“Yes, you paid for the biscuits
“And yet there’s so else?”
“Previously, you received a detoxification charge due to the allowance used to cure the poison, the poison appraisal costs, and the Poison Resistance amulet still hasn’t been paid for”
“But…”
“It become a total of, well … a hundred thousand Gerun”
“Hundred, huh… Hundred thousand!?”
Raising her voice, Miss “Footsteps of Death” toppled right over, falling grandly as though she had tripped outright
I’m sorry, but this is a respectable job, was how Fujiwara justified himself
“By the way, that’s the base price, with no inflation”
The antidotes take up h Quality elixir to leave no after effect, which costs eighty five thousand Gerun The rest of the drugs he needed total to twelve thousand Gerun, and the usage fee of the Amulet was three thousand The rest would be for his injuries due to her flinging that blade around, of course
Since she had used such expensive objects froe her If he didn’t, he’d be roared at by his Master
“It’s… I only just found out… Because you treated me, I’ll pay”
The Miss see as much
Fujias relieved she understood He expected for her to run wild and kill her, since she had ht personality for it
“But, please wait I don’t have these sorts of funds you’ve addressed to e me now Why don’t I leave a bill I can pay at a later date?”
“…Hmm”
This reaction was a bit unexpected for Fujiwara
Miss “Footsteps of Death” was clearly on a level where she was not handicapped by money based on their past interactions
This could also be told from the quality of her body ar at the latest, but all three were first rate itens, for aristocrats and nobility to use It would see official of some kind from outside Labyrinth City, and he read that to be the reason for hiding her identity
Though, he wasn’t particularly disappointed over the money Even if she was the sort to have thatpaid in cash
He thought about dropping the charge Then, Fujiwara let loose some pre-prepared words
“It’s no issue Since dear Customer is a Seeker, shouldn’t payeon?”
“I am indeed a See-“
“For example, that item you have there, perhaps?”
Fujiwara pointed to the large keychain hanging low fro He had kept his eye on it from the moment he carried her into the store Fro it as a decoration, not knowing its value
It was undoubtedly a Full Moon Rabbit’s hind leg Froloss and color characteristics, Fujias nearly certain The aniicians”, as it was a popular ic Tools to be made out of
“This little trinket’s useless It’s just a little thing I liked on the eleventh floor”
“It’s likely a Granting Tool So Tools sell for more than a hundred thousand Gerun”
“A hundred thousand… How much is that in sheets of biscuits?”
“I don’t have any clue what you mean by that, but five thousand of them”
She asked so with a furious face, and Fujiwara responded with simple arithmetic
“So ht it”
“Thank you very much”
She seemed to be convinced
Fujiwara received the cute keychain with great care, and they decided to get the appraisal done immediately
◆
“It’s like so Are you sure you want to exchange it for fifty five thousand Gerun of your debt?”
The results of the Appraisal were that the trinket was a “Rabbit’s Foot”, Off The Mark
It was a Granting Tool which could call soic
However, the “Good Luck” was not necessarily in a way easily visible Some examples, “Your foot stuck in mud coets a little better”, or “You aren’t very hungry even though you should be”, and so forth It isn’t quite as useful as one thinks, so it wasn’t a huge boon for a Seeker
However, this item had quite a lot of deood luck over a long period of tireatly desired by Merchants and your everyday villager Because of how easy it was to h, it was the most common scam item, but real ones were rare
While considering that, he reht Because of their passive aide, it was considered a good item to help with safe deliveries, or as a prayer for safety of the baby and mother
‘Right, I’ll deliver it later’
“But, it wasn’t worth a hundred thousand”
“Unfortunately, it wasn’t that high quality Just harvesting the Dungeon can lead to getting those easily enough
“I never knew… No wonder Seekers have so much moneys, these item prices…”
“Why have you been so short on cash?”
“It’s dishonorable to loot the fallen”
“But, then, the items will never be recovered”
“But… Argh… I should have picked them up, one after another, if this was the situation”
Seekers that couldn’t recover Drop Iteo deep for the thrill and honor, such as that “Capture Set” expedition, but she didn’t seem to be that sort after all
◆
“Guu… But, I don’t have the other forty-five thousand…”
“Miss Footsteps of Death” was having a staring contest with her bag of coin
‘It see the money will be hard’
