Chapter 13 (1/2)
Chapter Thirteen: Is It Not Possible?
There were several coins casually placed on the desk
Takashi+’s gaze went to and fro between the coins and his father multiple times
「These coins…… I have requested all my acquaintances who deal in old coins to examine these, and yet no one knew it’s value, and I have never heard the them coins」
Well, yeah thought Takashi+
These coins were brought by Eru, an otherworlder It doesn’t seem likely that there would be humans from this world that know about these coins
「Old coins such as antiquated gold and silver coins…… Naturally, including the ones issued by japan in the past, the value of such old coins are determined by its rarity」
“How many of old coins were issued in the past?” and “How ely determine how much an old coin is worth
For exale scratch or mark, it’s value is still 100 yen
Conversely, if you have a copper coin froo, no matter how battered it is, it’s value would be more than 100 yen
「For that reason, specialists who deal with old coins are well informed about the coins that have been issued up until present ti is committed to memory but they have some documents with information about old coins Those people…… they are specialists who deal in old coins, and yet they all said that they don’t know about these coins that you brought If it was only one or two people then it could have just been a coincidence but every single specialist I asked said that they have never seen anything like these coins Having co this to be an abnorree?」
The father gazed at his son The sharpness of that gaze was increasing
Being exposed to that gaze, Takashi+ was overpowered coh he is the son who inherited the qualities of a mayor who’s has taken on sly politicians and how h school student and still doesn’t stand a chance
Did he see through the turaze moved from his son to the coins on his desk
「Next, what largely determines the value of the coin is it’s condition It’s reasonable that value of so pristine would be worth more than one that is scratched up and rusted…… that is easy to understand, is it not?」
Kouichi picked up a silver coin froht
「These coins are by nosaid that, they aren’t old either Until just recently, these coins were being spent ordinarily, says the old coin specialists In other words, they are like the 100 yen coin and 10 yen coin being used in japan today And that leads to a question」
With his thumb, Kouchi flicked the silver coin towards his son
Takashi+ caught it easily with one hand, letting his gaze fall onto the silver coin in his hand
「I had a certain acquaintance of mine analyze the components of the silver and copper coins The result was…… he was able to ascertain that these coins used silver and copper of high purity with almost no impurities mixed into it Do you understand what that means?」
Despite asking Takashi+ a question, Kouichi continued talking without waiting for a reply
「At present, apart for soe of ht?」
「Y, yeah Money itself is just a representation and has no actual worth, it’s worth is guaranteed by the governht?」
For example, everyone knows that the japanese 10,000 yen note is an authentic japanese banknote since the japanese governuarantees that that banknote is worth is worth 10,000 yen
Not just with notes, coins are also the same A 500 yen coin is not actually worth five hundred yen, it’s because the japanese governuarantees that it’s worth is 500 yen
「That’s correct That is to say, there is no need to use silver with high purity for a silver coin It was enough for a country to guarantee that those silver coins ーー silver colored coins have some worth However, these silver coins were different There’s evidence that in transactions, the value of these gold and silver[2] coins are worth the saold and silver that they have on the before the dependence on money becae before modern times Now, a contradiction arises from this, don’t you think?」
Within Takashi+’s hand is a silver coin It was by nothat was being used day-to-day, say the old coin dealers
That is why the composition of these coins prove that these are not from modern times That is why Kouichi pointed out that there is a contradiction
「Certainly, there are still pure gold and pure silver coins being produced even noever, much of those cases are used as a co that would be used on a daily basis No one ast the professional coin dealers knohy a 『 used at modern times which is dependent on money From those results, I have concluded that these silver and bronze coins are not originally from this world Of course, this is just my conclusion, there isn’t any kind of evidence Well then, Takashi+」
Kouichi shot a pointed gaze at his son once again
「Where and how did you get these coins? I do not believe that you stole these coins froht be a bit biased since I a you to be that kind of person So, right here, won’t you answer me honestly?」
With everything that had been said, deception is no longer viable, Takashi+ resigned hi to Yasutaka and Eru in his heart, he explained the coin’s origin to his father in detail
✧
Kouichi’s expression passed from one of bewilderment and morphed into one of surprise as he listened to his son’s story
It fully similar to that time when Takashi+ met Yasutaka unexpectedly and heard about Eru
And Kouichi’s next reaction was, too
「MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARVELOUS!!」
With a large thud, Kouichi knocked over his char as he stood up, and puh up
「A visitor from another world!! A beautiful elf to boot!! Here in Nisshi+n City!! What is this if not a miracle!?」
「O, oi, Tousan! Calht!」
Admonished by his son, Kouichi returned to his senses, propped up his char and sat down, ashamed
「M,too excited」
He and his son were very much alike in this way
「So the elf girl that came from another world is now at Yasutaka’s house, correct?」
「Ah? Y, yeah, I guess that’s right? Listen, Tousan Could you please not get Yasutaka and Eru-chan involved in anything weird?」
「Yes, I understand I’ve known Yasutaka since you were kids, and I have no intention of doing anything inhuuest from another world to a ridiculous facility that would dissect and experiredient」
Despite saying so, the dark smile on his father’s face unintentionally made Takashi+ back away
「Now then, Takashi+ Could you irl as soon as possible?」

While trying to pacify her sto be put in fast, Aoi went to the dressing rooe from her track suit to her school uniform
At the Prefectural Oritozaka High School they go to, the boys have a dark blue school uniforirls have a blazer uniform of the same color
Taking off the top of her track suit, Aoi exposed her body whose proportions were rumored to be in the top 5 in school
Although there were only girls around, no, precisely because there were only girls around, her proportions that stood above the rest were conspicuous
「Oooh As always you’ve got sos」
「Hyaaaaaaaaaa!!」
Suddenly from behind, somebody cheeky ーー but also polite, slipped her hands past the underwear ーー cupped her abundant breasts,Aoi scream unintentionally
「W, wait, Megu all of a sudden!?」
The one ers weirdly fro Yasutaka and Takashi+, she is Aoi’s closest friend
Short black hair that doesn’t reach her shoulders and riumi’s trademark
「Well, if you keep showing that ae theain?」
Being told so, Aoi guarded herself by wrapping both her arms around her chest She didn’t notice that her soft flesh was spilling out fro it even more seductive
