69 CHAPTER III -- MANAGE THE MASTERS STORE 1 (2/2)

It seems that this shop is also different from the other shops, and they seem to be friendly to children.

To tell you the truth. I wanted to get a lot of swords made for you. ......

Oh, what?　Say anything. It's my job to make the sword.

Then I had something like this made for you: ............

Then I explained in detail what kind of sword I wanted.

''Oh, oh ...... you can make it, but what are you going to do with it?''

It's just business. I'll come back with the good news as soon as I can, so look forward to it.

Okay. If you make something awesome, I'll let you have it in my shop.

That would be great. I'll sell you a cheaper price then.

That'll be fun. Okay, I'll make it up as I go along.

'Thank you!　Next stop, ......, at your uncle's place.

My uncle's house is ......, I think, right here.

I think my uncle is home for the day.

This is the first time I've been to his house: .......

It's quite a large house, it stands near the castle.

I stand in front of the entrance and ring the doorbell.

”Yes, sir. Hey, Leo. What a nice surprise to see you here. What's up?

The one who came out was Elise.

Come to think of it, they really are a married couple.

'I need to ask my uncle a favor: ...... are you here now?'

What, you want to ask?　All right. I'll be in the back room.

Is that why you're so afraid to ask me for a favor?

Elise, you've got a serious look on your face. ......

'Le, Leo-kun!　What's going on?

He led me to my uncle, and when he saw my face, he looked so surprised.

You shouldn't be so surprised to see me.

I've come to ask you for a favor.

You want to ask me for help?　What's going on in the case again!

I don't know why I would do that.

Don't worry, it's not a crime.

Thank goodness ...... to be honest, I'm scared when Leo-kun comes to me because it's really bad.

No, it's not: ......

I'd like to deny it, but if you ask me, I'd say so: .......

So, what are you asking for?

Yes, actually: ............

Then I told him what I wanted to ask.

”Huh, you got an interesting idea.

Right?　It's good for the empire and ...... please!

'Yes, ......, I'll have to wait until Her Majesty gives me permission to do this one.

Yes, of course: ...... or go ask for ......

You've decided where to go next .

You have to do the same presentation in front of the emperor: .......

''Normally, emperors aren't meant to be met in such a lighthearted way, right?

But you're with your uncle, right?

'Yes, but ......'

＊＊＊＊＊＊

'Interesting!　Let's do it.

Really? You think it's that easy to give them permission?

The uncle was upset by the Emperor's unexpectedly quick decision .

''Oh, this is good for the empire and ...... I want to see it too, so I'll allow it .

I'm pretty sure that's the second half of what he meant.

'Oh, right. ...... Okay. I'll be prepared for that.

My uncle, who would be my main man this time, looked resigned.

''Feng, I guess that's about the end of my work: ......

That's a relief for now.

What are you saying? You'll be working for me now.

What?

It's not so easy to say yes. From now on, Leo, you're going to have to work hard to make your proposal even more grandiose.

Yes?

'No - I'm looking forward to it - yeah, I'll have to send Diork a letter later telling him to come and see what interesting things I'm doing.

Huh?　It's funny, ...... I'm the one who said it, and now the emperor is in charge?
