Chapter 19 - #19 Aftermath (2/2)
”Haven't your parents taught you that you can't touch lady without her permission?!” I snapped my head at him, revealing a part of my hooded face, mainly my red eyes glowing full of hostility and killing intent.
”Eek!” *Thud* After he saw my eyes, he took a few steps back but he lost his balance and fallen on his ȧss.
”Let's go!” I disinterestedly looked at him and then waved my hand at Ichika to follow me.
...
Since I got back into the city, I changed my Class to [Young noble].
[Charisma: 6 (11)]
”*sigh* Young lord, thank you for your help, I don't know if I would be able to keep myself from cutting his hand off if you haven't intervened.” Ichika thanked me with a grateful tone.
”Small thing. There is no need to cause a scene, even though we wouldn't be in any trouble for killing one idiot, it would definitely spread rumors and I don't think my father would be delighted to hear that we went out of the city.” I told her with a stoic expression.
Ichika just nodded with a serious expression because she would be the one who would be punished.
WE went to the general store to sell the materials but the woman sent us away and told us that we have to sell these to Hunter's guild. Merchants can't buy Danger beasts' materials from hunters but they must buy it through the Hunter's guild
When we got to Hunter's guild that was located in the middle of the Capital, we immediately made our way towards the reception.
”Hello, we want to sell the materials from Danger beasts” I said to the closest woman to us standing behind the counter.
”Good afternoon...sir, do you already have a guild's license?” She was caught off guard when she saw my small hooded figure but she still quickly asked us with a smile.
”No, don't tell me we need to have a stupid license just to kill Danger beasts.” I said with an annoyed tone.
”No, no, no...You don't need any license for killing them but if you don't have a license your materials will be bought by us for a cheaper price than usual. I recommend you to get one before selling your materials” She immediately waved her hands to deny that fact and explained with a bright smile.
”I see...I don't have time for this, can you look at this stuff and tell us how much you are willing to pay?” I asked and threw 2 full bags on the counter.
”Y-yes, wait a moment, please!” She took them and dagged them to the room behind the counter.
...
”We are willing to pay 4 golds and 53 silvers for your materials.” She returned after a minute and informed us with a smile.
”Make it 5 golds and we have a deal” I said with a decisive tone.
”This...wait a moment, please!” She ran off to the same room.
She came back after a few seconds with 5 golds in her hand.
”Thanks, have a nice day!” I said and turned around to leave.
”Same to you two!” She shouted at us with a bright smile.
Ichika just nodded at her and followed after me without saying anything.
...
”Hey, old man, how much does this cost?” I came to the same stall where I have seen the earrings today and asked the man, still with my hood on.
”Hm? I am sorry young man but this is already reserved by someone.” The man said with a forced smile and I couldn't help but form a smirk.
I left and when I took my hood off in the dark alley I came back to the same stall.
”Oh? Young lord, are you here for the earrings?” The man immediately noticed me and asked me with a smile.
”Yes but I don't want to spend 10 golds on them. Won't you make it 5 golds?” I asked and he immediately had a shocked expression but before he could say anything I continued talking.
”You see...these earrings are perfectly made but they have a silver color. As you know, they are pretty expensive so they won't attract commoner's attention but even nobles won't really be attracted to them. Most of the nobles like golden color or colorful gems like colors. I wonder how long you are trying to sell them...” I said with a small innocent smile.

'This kid!!! How can he be so smart?!!' The man almost peed himself when he saw Akashi's innocent smile combined with his slyness.
---
”I...It's the truth that I bought them without knowing that despite their nice craftsmanship, they will be useless.” He said as regret filled his face.
”Then take 5 golds, that should cover the original price at least by a bit. Better than nothing and you can treat it as a lesson.” I said and extended my arm with 5 golds in my hand.
”...*sigh* Alright, who am I to refuse the young lord's request, hehe.” He said with a small laugh and we exchanged items.
...Now I have a perfect gift for my mother. It will definitely suit her, together with her silver hair.
I thought while observing the earrings more closely while Ichika was peeking from behind my shoulder at them with a curious look in her eyes.
