Lora de man handed her 4 copper coins Normally, a tip is 1 copper coin; however, the other party wasn’t stingy with their coin As she sht his person was an easy mark

「Fufu, thank you veryfor?」 (Lora)

「If possible, I’ for somewhere that is clean, but affordable A cheap place would be nice」 (Haruto)

If that is the case, then it has to be Sylph’s pavilion That shop is clean and popular Also, Undine being next doorreceived 4 copper coins, she carried out her work

「Understood Then will 『Sylph’s Pavillion (シルフー亭)』do That place charges about 2,000 Doraria a night」 (Lora)

Upon Lora’s answer, the youngabout so

「Excuse me, but will you tell me about the currency here, for reminder’s sake?」 (Haruto)

When Lora heard him say this, she was surprised “Just how far did this person travel for theht But, this was yet another chance for a profit

「Alright, but it will cost you 1 copper」 (Lora)

Lora smiled as she demanded a tip Haruto showed a wry smile as he handed her the coin

While on the way to Slyph’s pavilion, she answered Haruto’s questions It was things such as the value of currency here and the basic geography

「Truly, a wasteful expense」 (Haruto)

Today, Lora earned 8 copper coins It was a big profit

「Well, that is Haruto-san own fault for being ignorant」 (Lora)

It was true “Where one earth was this person before they caht

「Despite being a beggar, you sure do know the value of a gold coin and the geography of this land」 (Haruto)

Lora was startled by Haruto’s words Although, he was right Beggars usual have never seen a gold coin and as for knowing the geography, Lora doesn’t know

「Eh, well, it isn’t like I started out as a beggar」 (Lora)

Lora dodged the question as it is aone should talk about with a person they just met

It wasn’t longer before they reached Sylph’s pavilion and soon they will say their farewells

「Over there is Sylph’s Pavillion Now then, I will be excusing myself」 (Lora)

Lora considered Haruto to be a good natured person

The next time Lora and Haruto encountered one another, it would be 2 days later when Lora was following the scent of profit on the streets

The scent lead her to Haruto

「Oh, if it is not, Haruto It has been awhile What have you been up to?」 (Lora)

Lora rushed over to greeted Haruto

「Nothing much, I’m just here to buy some daily necessities」 (Haruto)

Lora kept her eyes open for her chance to make a profit

「I know of an inexpensive shop; I don’tyou there for 500 Doraria」 (Lora)

「No thanks I will look around on my own」 (Haruto)

She needs to pull him in Lora tried to persuade Haruto

「You should know that the prices in the shops will vary If you are careless, you could end up with inferior goods……, for just 500 Doraria you could avoid such dangers If you are low on money, that is all the more reason to hire me as I am well informed about this town」 (Lora)

As Clarice is a country of merchants, there are numerous swindlers and con-men here

「Fine But, I ask that you properly do your job」 (Haruto)

Lora was able to convince Haruto and thus becauide

「Fufufu, thank you for your patronageー」 (Lora)

She was quite glad when she received the copper coins

While Lora guided Haruto to a shop, he initiated a conversation She noruided, but for sonore him And thus, she took an active role in the conversation

「By the way, Haruto-san, you’re quite proficient with the Claris (キリス語) language despite being a foreigner」 (Lora)

Despite her principle of not prying into the customer’s affairs, Lora voiced her opinion about what she had been thinking about after taking into consideration how close they have become

「Well, now that have I bought a wallet and clothes, all that is left is soap」 (Haruto)

But, he doesn’t give a reply However “what is soap?”, she thought Lora had no idea what it was It wasn’t in any of the many books she had read in the past

「Eh? 『Soap』? What is that?」 (Lora)

Upon Lora’s response, Haruto showed a flustered expression “Was it really that iht

「You know, that thing that is used to wash off dirt That bubbly stuff」 (Haruto)

Dirt…… lye is usually used to reh

「Oh, are you talking about bubble-berry? You should have said so from the start」 (Lora)

If it is so used to remove dirt, then is ither father had dealt in Lora had absolute confidence about that topic

「What is a bubble-berry?」 (Haruto)

Hearing this Lora was shocked Bubble-berry is not only used in the city-states but also the kingdoms and the empire

「Eh! You don’t know? Is it not grown in the east…? Look, it is the berry that they are selling over there Because the skin on your body will get ruined if you don’t wash it, it is usually used by the wealthy」 (Lora)

Lora pointed towards the place selling bubble-berry When Haruto saw the price, he showed a surprised expression In the olden day, Lora didn’t understand the high price but now that she has becoar, she understands That sort of

Although Haruto was surprised, he suddenly showed a determined expression

「Lora, would you happen to knohere I can get a hot pot, olive oil, salt, and firewood?」 (Haruto)

It was abrupt, but she realized it “He was planning to do soht

「Eh? I do but…… what are you planning to use it for?」 (Lora)

A mischief expression appeared on Haruto’s face

「Well, you’ll see」 (Haruto)

Lora instinctively tilted her head in puzzlement

The next day, while she alking down the street, a wallet fell Thinking she was lucky, Lora picked it up, inside there was ar had stolen a wallet As she thought this, Lora tried to return the wallet to the ground but then so happened

「Hey, brat What are you holding!!」 (policeman)

In an instant, Lora’s arm is seized by a policeman

「A wallet? Is this not money! Where did you steal this!!」 (policeman)

She didn’t steal it Lora tried to explain but the other party doesn’t listen

「That is why you’re a 2nd-class citizen…… criminal such as yourself should be i with me」 (policeman)

Lora’s body breaks out into a cold sweat At this rate, she will be turned into a slave Slaves usually do labor intensive work coular citizens Because she is fe forced into a corrupted line of work are high While being dragged off to the slave-trading cos that would happen to her

「Like I was saying, I didn’t steal it It is the truth!! Please, believe o!!」 (Lora)

A crowd had gathered And then, Lora heard a loud voice co crowd of people

「Liar! There is no way an orphan like you can have a wallet with money in it In the first place, why should we trust the words of a bread thief!!」 (???)

「No, this is……」 (Lora)

ThisLora couldn’t refute the clais continue as is; she will be sold to a brothel, end up catching a disease, and then die…… when all hope was about to be lost, at that moment,

「Please, wait」 (Haruto)

Lora hears the voice of so into the conversation
