Chapter 43: The Reason Dowan is Targeted

The little elf girl was Dowan’s daughter Honestly there’s a lot I would like to retort about, but――

「I’ just in case, but you’re not soht?」(Hitto)

「What kind of nonsense are you spouting, ya damn fool!」(Dowan)

Ah, crap, looks like I struck a nerve Most of the time he seems cranky, but I could tell this was different

Well, still, so she was genuinely his daughter huh Even though they are nothing alike

「Goshujin-saood look you can tell she is the splitting ie of Dowan-san Just look at her, her… her……」(Melissa)

Yeah Melissa is also looking at the girl with a puzzled expression I think you’re being pretty rude too you know

「You lot, if you only cao home already!」(Dowan)

Oh, not good, he snapped Fus that I still can’t accept, I guess we should move on to business already

And so, I spoke with Dowan about the incident that happened at the mines

「I see Ityou such trouble」(Dowan)

After listening to my explanation, Dowan silently lowered his head

As for the little elf girl, she「Thank’chu -nano」

It was supposed to be a rather serious conversation, but this little girl was able to soften the mood all by herself…… Melissa even put both hands on her cheeks and her eyes are sparkling I guess she couldn’t handle the moe huh

「It’s not so for It just so happened that orggs showed up Well, as long as we receive reiood enough」(Hitto)

Hearing my proposal, Dowan silently went into the store’s interior, and he returned rather quickly

In his hand he was holding a leather bag

「Please take then」(Dowan)

He handed the bag to me Based on our conversation it should be the money we had to pay in advance, but when I took a look inside―― There were ten 10,000 Gold coins

「Dowan, you’ve made a mistake The amount I paid in advance was only 80,000 This is 20,000 over that」(Hitto)

「That is the inconvenience fee Don’t worry about it, take it」(Dowan)

「Well, like I said, I don’t consider it much of an inconvenience」(Hitto)

「But if I don’t do this then I’ll never be able to live it down」(Dowan)

Dowan firazed at me ide open eyes It doesn’t looks like he intends to take no as an answer

「I understand Thank you, I’ll gladly accept it」(Hitto)

Expressing ic stones fro and placed them on the counter

「Exactly what I asked for You’ve really helped out, you have nature on the request forht?」(Dowan)

「Yeah, that should be enough」(Hitto)

I took out the request forned it with a pen and handed it back to me

「All right With this the request should be co, Dowan I’m sure they’re still around even now, but it looks like there’s so a lot of bad rumors about this shop Do you have any idea why?」(Hitto)

As for eneral idea about who is behind all this, but still, with such outrageous ru around I doubt Doouldn’t know about it

「Yeah, I bet le Couys really have some stupid schemes」(Dowan)

Fuht, Dowan has also noticed it huh

「Dowan-san, why is it that you are being targeted by the Bungle Company?」(Melissa)

Perhaps she grew curious upon hearing Dowan’s reply, Melissa blurted out a question

Melissa is the one who originally recommended this store after all I suppose it’s natural that she is curious

「…… That bunch has been showing their faces in front of my shop for quite so the store becole Co their proposal I suppose thatway」(Dowan)

“Just because of that――” Melissa couldn’t help but let out a quiet voice It’s true that I also think it’s a really absurd reason though So they’re the type who don’t allow anyone to go against his will huh Truly a hopeless bunch

「That bunch really pisses me off They do whatever they want and use forceful methods to obtain the city’s shops one-by-one Eventually the only equipment shopthat hasn’t been taken over by that company is my store Well, I suppose that’s why they have their eyes set on h」(Dowan)

「So that’s how it is Fu to what you just said, but do you still plan on refusing to be affiliated with the Bungle Company?」(Hitto)

「daht I do! If I’m forced to yield to that bunch then I’d rather close down the store myself!」(Dowan)

With a loud yell he let out a strongaura

「To that extent huh You ainst how that company operates」(Hitto)

「It’s not just on the level of dislike Those lot only care about selling equipive a crap about the quality Instead it’s oods to customers so their weapons break easily And then they have to coher than would you’d nors are I fell sorry for both the weapons they make and the people who use them And that bunch forces other stores to adopt their style as well And if they don’t like the owner for even the smallest of reasons the up and kick thes That’s the type of bunch they are」(Dowan)

I see It is said that dwarfs are a race that prefer blacks even over food

They are the kind of people who put their all into the goods they craft

For people like thely handcraft as their own children

However if these craftsle Company, then that sort of mindset won’t be allowed
