V1C6 (2/2)

It would be fine to change my job back to Commoner when I need to pay taxes anyway.

Ah, but dropping back to Lv1 would decrease my status right?

I’ll test it out later.

“If that’s the case, how about master become a Swordsman too? Fortunately, in this Labyrinth Town, if you confine yourself in the labyrinth for 3 years you can become a Swordsman.”

“It takes up to 3 years huh …”

So it would take me about 3 days?

“Sorry, due to certain reasons, I cannot change my job now. However, I do wish to visit the labyrinth.”

“If that’s the case, please use me by all means. I am familiar with the labyrinth.”

Haru was staring in my eyes … with her tail wagging excitedly.

Uwah, the aura of wanting to go to the labyrinth was emanating from this girl.

Although she usually acts demure, I can tell her mood from the movements of her tail, is this what they call gap moe?

Since she hinted so strongly I do wish to bring her to the labyrinth, but …

“Sorry, Matthias-san told me to not injure you.”

“Is that so … no, I am sorry for asking for the impossible.”

Her tail and ears drooped down.

I was attacked by an acute sense of guilt.

But, there’s no helping it.

Thus, we arrived at the Adventurers Guild and I passed her the 3 rabbits at the entrance.

“2 white rabbits and 1 black rabbit. I will swiftly return.”

“It’s fine if I don’t tag along as well?”

“Although the guild tolerates it, appointing a representative apart from official party members does not speak well with the guild. Master’s future errands with the Adventurers Guild may even be adversely affected. For example, even if you do not become an adventurer, anybody can put in a request for the guild.”

That’s certainly true.

Katyusha-san also told Matthias that she hopes that he does not do business within the guild.

Well, if a girl wearing a slave collar comes in to sell the rabbits that I had wanted to sell, 9 out of 10 they would directly suspect that she’s acting as my proxy, but with a 10% – 20% probability that it might not be me, the guild cannot confidently confirm it.

Since that’s the case, I shall obediently leave it up to Haru.

“I’m not in a rush so please try to sell it at a high price.”

“Understood.”

Haru bowed and entered the guild holding 3 rabbits.

I wonder how much she would be able to get for them.

… Eh?

Come to think of it, she seems to me taking quite some time. Is the guild crowded?

Well, I’ll wait a bit longer.

… So slow. It would be 1 hour soon.

… Don’t tell me, she absconded with my rabbits?

No no, it was written in Daijiro-san’s book that a slave wearing a slave collar is completely obedient to the owner.

Ah, but the person who applied the contract on to the slave collar was Matthias, so it might be possible that they are accomplices?

If that’s the case then it’s quite possible.

No no no, but I can’t imagine that Haru lying …

“Thank you for waiting master.”

“Ha, Haru?”

“Yes.”

“Ah, erm, that took quite some time.”

“Yes. Master said that it is fine to take some time as long as I can sell them for a higher price, so I borrowed the guild’s dismantling bench and dismantled the rabbits.”

” … Ah, so that’s why it took so long?”

“This is the total amount.”

She handed to me 1 silver coin, 100 sense.

Eh? The market price was 10 sense for a rabbit, it’s over 3 times more?

“I successfully sold the black rabbit for 3 times the price of a regular rabbit.”

” … Nevertheless, 3 folds the price huh. Dismantling is amazing … erm, Haru.”

“Yes, what’s the matter, master?”

“I’m sorry!”

I bowed to apologize for doubting Haru. Haru maintained her serene expression but her tail was swinging exaggeratedly in panic.

After I apologized, we returned to Matthias’s shop.

Author’s Note:

The appearance of the 6th heroine, Haru.

The first heroine is actually the yandere sister – Miri.

The second heroine is actually the Orc Goddess that can freely operate the system.

The third heroine is actually (?) the Child Goddess that is older than the MC.

The fourth heroine is actually the Oneesan gatekeeper that specialises in bare hand attacks compared to using swords.

The fifth heroine is actually a guy, the clothes shop owner.

Giving it some thought, yup, Haru-san doesn’t have much personality. I wonder if it’s fine to frame her as one of the heroines.

Actually, instead of a wolf, setting her as a dog would have been …

… I’ve said some pointless things.

Haru is the first heroine. Though, she doesn’t become his companion immediately.

As I thought, the first heroine must be a loyal dog … or not, a wolf is fine too. I already want to abandon that setting. The next update will be after dawn.
