Vol 1 Chapter 17 (2/2)
Fujiondered if she knew the clasp on her valuable Wyvern bag wasit out He wondered if she had run frohter of a ruined noble household, or so forth
Now, he was uncertain
“Then, we’re fine for now You can pay it later”
“……What, for real?”
“Yes However, there’s a condition”
“What is it?”
She suddenly eyed Fujiith a suspicious glare, as if looking at a con artist, or so ‘I’ my job’
“In the future, you eon here for appraisal, and then anything valuable can be used for repayment”
“…Mu Is this really okay?”
“Yes But, I’ll have to balance the charge of appraisal with the cost”
Most appraisers charge for their services, so it wasn’t anything shady It’s a rare skill, for the appraisal to be done as well as Master or Fujiwara did
“You have a period of two et that done”
“Can I do it that fast?”
“Yes A custoh the tenth floor alone, so skillful, could likely do it easily”
“Fine, I agree”
Even if Fujiwara got her consent, it could be rescinded like smoke
Fujiwara recorded down the contract and presented it
“Okay, here you go”
“…Thank you very much”
Fujiwara checked the parchment and nodded
Truthfully, the contract was insignificant He didn’t knoho she was or where to send the militia after her, after all Truly, it was miniscule
However, Fujiwara knew she was too prideful to break her oath Her willingness to do this gave hi for sca
He now looked at her signature
As such, there was the name Anemone L Amberlite there No doubt, she was indeed nobility, because her middle initial was there as well, and only nobles maintained their baptismal name He wondered if she was famous

“Well, this is pointless now”
Miss “Footsteps of Death” began to don her ar so Most people would need a servant or friend to help put it on, but she covered the gaps one after another with familiar hand movements
After a while she paused, see aloud
“It’s a good feeling for soood to exchange names”
“Well, my name’s Fujiwara”
“What an odd nah”
Finally, she donned her helirl who happily chews biscuits in her underwear, to the hefty Seeker “Footsteps of Death”
Although he didn’t kno she grew up, it was no joke to wear that large of arhter of a noble Fujias unsure how much of it was “Divine Protection” and how much of it illpower
With this, she ashi+n’, but before the exited, she turned to ask
“By the here do I purchase those biscuits?”
“Did you like them?”
“…They weren’t unpalatable”
“Do you know ‘Underground Tavern That Looks Up at the Sun’?” (tl: I’ to try to write this consistently now… Alternative tl: ‘Respectful Mole’s Sun’ Yeah, this nae pain…)
When the Miss heard that, she ue“You mean that haunt for commoners?”
‘How cruel’ Fujiondered if she knew that the primary ruain and realized heran appearance would be bad
“On second thought, you should come by for tea and biscuits”
“Okay” The Miss swung her helmet back down
Co back for thethe full cost would be a hard sell
Therefore, Fujiwara decided that this degree of service would be okay if her feelings softened a bit, no e was
Hearing the sound of the door, he waited awhile before bowing his head low
“Feel free to visit I look forward to next seeing you”

From then, Miss “Footsteps of Death”, Anemone, was a patron of the store She’d coh quantity of items
Occasionally, she’d coainst her will due to poor condition or injury, and they’d have to decide the treatment method
“This isn’t going to be free”
“So noisy, cure the bruise quickly”
“If I say so, you should be quiet”
“You need an intervention on the number of biscuits you eat”
“Ah, which loot do you want to buy, or all?”
And that was how a lonely Full Body Aran their chats

“Thou faithless gambler, offer up five hundred and twenty drops- and, until the world is exhausted, it will carry and turn you, surrounding you and giving to you, like a wheel of Baden-Baden” (tl: Author decided to name the God of luck after a small German town…)
You attach it by fastening the Rabbit’s Foot to you in some ith the chain Extremely easy to carry like this This amulet is a type of char Tool is rare
As most should know, Rabbits were hunted frequently in the old days, by s
Without their alertness and speed in fleeing, rabbits would have long ago died off As well, baby rabbits are born with their eyes already open, alert As such, it was considered that their reproductive abilities and wariness were divine favors, that such endangered anis of the rabbit were said to happily kick in the woin of the charood luck This is just ancient suspicion, but The Superior Magicians ensured this became real
