Vol 1 Chapter 13 (2/2)
As if to say he liked the question
”As expected, Miss You are not swayed by outward appearance alone”
”Of course not”
Of course not my ass
”Elven slaves are scarce I want to obtain soth, but currently I don't have any”
I'm not an elf, okay?
Although I definitely won't show you my Status
But what do I do?
Do I push on, even if it's dangerous?
Alright
” If I said I have some connection to elves——— would that draw your interest?”
Not only Eyepatch, even the black-clothed ed
crap, don't get violent, okay?
I still didn't eradicate my smile
”I thought you weren't a just a sheltered, young lady, but this is a surprise”
The eye-patched ers
”Is that story true?”
”Let's say I cannot make definite promises”
”Of course not It's elves we're talking about Still, very intriguing”
Hmm
Let's hope this doesn't cause any trouble between humans and elves
”I thought you'd say so But, let's keep today's conversation focused on this girl, shall we?”
At any rate, I'm suddenly down to only one card I can play
Because I only have one truht now
Right, myself
The suicidal act of revealing my Status
”Hehe, you got me there, Miss I underestimated you just a bit It's been a while since I've had such an enjoyable negotiation Including your fairness to the eyes, Miss”
”Why thank you”
I cast down my eyes and calmly smiled
For soirl next tosound
”Then, shall we release her Status? Including her race, that is”
”No, it's fine Let's confirm that for e make the final contract”
I softly rejected the eye-patched man's proposal
Stop cornering me already
I still have absolutely no concrete idea how to obtain her
”Is that so Let's stop beating around the bush then This firm has set her price to be 500000 Rook is what I would like to say, but”
There the eye-patched man cut off his words and smiled at me
”I' with you here, Miss What do you think about speciallyit 400000 Rook?”
”I think that's a fair price”
So much!
”Today, since the beginning I came here only to look at her, but is she always here? Because I also heard she is a prize?”
I glanced at the black-clothed man
I thought he was expressionless, so why does he stare at me with such a mean look in the eyes!
No, he's had that mean look in the eyes in the first place, so he's norht now?
”We intended to use her as a prize for the combat tournament in the royal capital's coliseum But well, we have replacements If you buy her here, now, there's not much of a problem”
”I see, in the coliseum”
That also gets the adrenaline flowing
But in that case———
”Then, if I participate and become the champion, I can also obtain her, correct?”
”Hahahahaha!”
The eye-patched hed out loudly while slapping his knees
”Hah, apologies You are absolutely right, Miss Truly interesting, you are”
”Well, I can also see how selling her for eous for you, Mister”
Become a champion at the combat tournament or earn 400000 Rook, just what is more realistic, huh
Keeping my composed smile, I stood up
”Hehe, either way, I won't think of it as a loss If I can deal with a personage such as you, Miss”
The eye-patched naled the black-clothed man to escort me out
Blackie opened the door I'd coh
”It is business practice not to exchange names with first-tiardless”The eye-patched ance reminiscent of a butler
”Bertrand isyour acquaintance, Miss”
”Alice This was a valuable conversation Let's talk again, Bertrand-sama”
I concisely answered, calmly bowed and headed towards the door
In passing, I met Her eyes just once
For so
” beautiful”
let's pretend I didn't hear that
”I'll make you mine I've decided”
I whispered her just that
After passing her, I felt a stare against my back
”Y-yes! I' forward to it, Lady Alice!”
Ahh
I got through randstand play
Fro blind
Probably nobody in this rooh my head
