Chapter 17 (2/2)

All three were excited for Panda.

It's inevitable to be so pampered when you're so cute.

I decided to wrap the other egg in a cloth and take it home.

We returned to the mansion and informed the Count about what we had found in the ruins.

”You found so many relics in one day? You people never cease to amaze me!”

The antique objects were placed in a storage room.

Some of the things we found appear to be armor or medicine, but there are also things that appear to be pretty common, such as clothing and vessels.

Items such as jewelry and precious metals can be recognized as treasures at a glance.

But I think the best treasure was the creature we revived from that egg.

According to the count, only a few of the confirmed pet eggs have hatched.

He said most of them are still in storage and have not been awakened.

It was fortuitous that we were able to find them.

”Master, here is a list of all the items.”

”Thank you.”

I received a document from Kaede with a list of all the objects found.

I will choose only the ones I want to keep and sell the rest to the Count.

A large amount of money is necessary if we want to have a smooth trip.

And I want to save some money just in case.

As long as you have plenty of money, the trip will be very pleasant.

Hmm, looks like we brought some healing elixirs.

The list of elixirs are as follows; recovery potions, high-grade antidote, body-strengthening potions, performance-enhancement potions, energy-recovery potions, and finally... magic-enhancement potions.

”Elixir!”

I was so surprised, I felt like my eyes would pop out.

There are two super rare multipurpose recovery drugs.

The magic-enhancing potion and high-grade antidote are very valuable. They can be traded for extremely high prices.

The Count shrugs his shoulders while lifting his hands.

”It's rare for elixirs to be marketed here. However, if you go to the royal capital, you have a better chance of selling them.”

”To whom, the merchants or nobles?”

”Both. I would recommend you auction them off, you'll make a great fortune that way.”

I've heard about that somewhere.

It seems that the royal capital has an auction site where only aristocrats and wealthy merchants can enter.

Beasts, information, weapons, and objects, everything is sold there in exchange for gold.

I'm sure the elixirs will sell for a lot of money. It is quite intriguing.

I will definitely look for that place when I get to the royal capital.

I decided to keep the potions and sell the rest to the count.

And these are my items;

The amount of money I obtained was 500 million.

For the first time in my life, I saw a white gold coin. And there was a small mountain of them. People seem to have a strange bit of confidence when they have power and money.

By the way, the second beast egg is not for sale.

After all, I want to know what will be born from it. It can be a very useful creature depending on its ability.

”Kyui!”

”Panda, wait”

”My lady, you can't go out like that!”

Panda was prowling the hallway and came into the room circling around me.

And a naked Marinanne appears a few seconds later trying to catch Panda.

”So this is where you ran off to. You still need a lot more cleaning first.”

”Kyui!”

”Your fur will be even fluffier when you're all lathered up and clean. Now come here.”

Panda hides behind me.

I can't move. I've been completely frozen after seeing her like this.

Even her father, the Count, let out a big sigh.

”Marianne, you are...”

”Hm? I'm what?”

”Master, don't look!”

Kaede appeared behind me wanting to cover my eyes with her hands.

Kaede, I think it's a little late for that. I've seen all there is to see.

”My lady! The towel! Put it on!”

”Huh? Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”

When Urara entered the room, she covered Marianne's body with a bath towel.

Mariane, who finally realized her mistake, ran out of the room screaming. I'm sure she was taking a bath because of how dirty she was.

Hmm? You wonder how I know she left the room? Maybe it's because I kept seeing her between Kaede's fingers.

I got to see something good at an unexpected moment.

I think I'll sleep well tonight.
