“I’m just worried because it’s a sudden expense. “How much will it cost?”

“If you’ve tried it on, you’ll know, but it’s not something that costs a penny or two.”

“Yes, I was expecting it. But I wonder if I can afford to pay… Ah! That doesn’t mean you won’t pay the right price. Even though it may be difficult, we will do our best to provide it somehow.”

When the price range came up, Gabriel clenched his fists in a solemn manner.

I have no intention of bargaining like I did with Erintina.

Isn’t it natural that coping methods vary from person to person?

Treating him the way he treated Erintina would backfire on the upright and honest Gabrielle.

The trading method that works for Gabriel is… .

“What I want is a monster by-product that is worth the value of this bracelet.”

It was a straightforward request for what one wanted.

“Monster byproduct?”

“Yes, because cash is not that interesting. I think it could be a special by-product.”

“A special by-product… . I think I know what you want. But it will take a long time to get those items.”

Gabriel’s expression became glum.

As you get used to her blunt expression, you can slowly tell them apart.

“Then how about renting it?”

“Rental?”

“Good rental! “For your information, I’m also renting it.”

Shine raises his hand and appeals that his own is also a rental.

“For now, you can rent it, use it, and pay for it later. “From the moment you pay the price, the child becomes Gabrielle’s.”

“Rental fee… .”

“The price will be significantly lower than if you buy it.”

It was natural that Gabriel’s expression brightened again.

“Then I would like to ask you to rent it.”

Gabriel’s worries did not last long.

I also welcomed her choice.

‘Renting is good because money comes in steadily.’

I don’t think it’s time to give money to children.

Aren’t these kids going to enlist soon anyway?

When you catch monsters, money naturally follows.

As you use unique equipment, you will become even more attached to it, and you will have no choice but to purchase it from me.

After successfully completing the transaction, I told the children that they would continue to work hard and decided to attend this strange healing trip.

“Cheer up!!!”

“Aaaah!! “We did it!”

“Hehehe, it was embarrassing because Gabriel was surprisingly adamant about saying no, but I did it in the end.”

“Then, I go swimming with you and do various things… .”

I was so happy that I was successful… .

Actually, this wasn’t the only thing I asked for.

He said that from now on, not only would he have to bring back the children I pointed out, but he would also take Rebecca and Sasha.

Shouldn’t I have someone to play there too?

But even that was readily accepted by the kids.

In fact, the idea of taking Rebecca with me was initially suggested by the kids to entice me.

“I took you after doing this, so you’re not going to disappoint me, are you?”

“Don’t worry! I’ll prepare it properly. I am the duke’s daughter. “I’ll show you what money is all about!”

Ariando confidently put his arms around his waist and shouted to me.

Seeing them raise their noses makes me feel like I have a shallow sense of trust.

“When are you going to set the date?”

“Um… I need some time to prepare. Are you okay next week?”

“good. Next week. It’s 2 nights and 3 days, right? “We’ll leave on Friday night and return on Sunday.”

“yes.”

After making such a detailed schedule, it felt realistic that I would actually go out to play with these guys.

I told my kids I won’t be working, but now that I’m done with it, I’m thinking that I need to make sure they get their weapons up to the top 12.

Didn’t you decide to change your mind after what happened with Rebecca?

If you synthesize them to 5 stars with beads and upgrade their weapons to level 12, you will have grown them to a level that is close to perfection.

It was a signal that it was time to prepare for different scenarios for children who were about to enlist.

⁂ ⁂ ⁂

A few days have passed since I decided to travel with the kids.

Have I suddenly been blessed with money?

Shortly after handing over the weapons to Gabriel, money started rolling in again.

“Hello, boss.”

The fortune that came to me was none other than Erintina.

She came to the general store sooner than expected.

Since I thought she was visiting to purchase unique equipment, I greeted her with a positive welcome.

“welcome.”

“How you doing?”

She went back without being able to finish the story because of the kids, and visited the general store again a few days later.

Then, he said he wanted to purchase the item and started negotiating the specific price.

Of course, what I offered her as the price for the items was monster by-products.

Is it because I want something unexpected in exchange for something?

Although she was a little embarrassed, she ended the price negotiation by saying that it would take some time.

So I was waiting to see when the item would arrive, but it arrived much faster than I expected.

“I thought it would take a long time, but you came very quickly.”

“Actually, I didn’t come here to make a deal right away. “I’m empty-handed now.”

Empty-handed?

“Then what brings you here?”

Why would this woman come to the general store unless she was there to buy something?

Of course, there was nothing wrong with Erintina’s visit in that it was eye candy.

“No matter how much I think about it, I’m not sure how much it’s worth.”

“Do you want to bargain a little more?”

In fact, it is no exaggeration to say that the value of unique equipment is worth the price.

It may be a meaningless item to others, but for you, it is unique equipment that you must have at any cost.

“No, I brought this instead.”

What Erintina showed me was an envelope.

When I took it and checked inside, there was something I had never expected.

“Auction invitation?”

“Actually, this is why I arrived a little early and got a seat. “It’s an auction held twice a year.”

“The items coming out of here must be quite valuable.”

“Sure. “I am confident that the boss will find something that he likes.”

“How do you do the deal? Does this mean that if I make a choice, you will purchase it for me?”

“yes that’s right.”

You used your brain quite well.

It will never be a loss for me, and Erintina will benefit if the item I want is cheaper than expected.

“What if I say I want something very expensive?”

“You have to look at the situation and make a compromise, right? “Just because you bid at an auction doesn’t mean you can always get the item.”

What if an opponent with overwhelming wealth appears and makes a competitive bid for the item I want?

So what if she bids more than what she thinks the item is worth?

At that point, I have no choice but to give up.

“If it’s that way, fine.”

“I’m glad you like it.”

“It seems like a mutually beneficial deal, so there’s no reason to turn it down. But the date is not long.”

“A little fast, right?”

“I know that Erintina has a hotter personality than I thought.”

Isn’t it problematic to express this as urgent?

The auction date was none other than tonight.

It was really rushed, but I decided to think it went well.

It’s something that can be dealt with quickly and shaken off.

“It will be held at 10 p.m., and there will be a party afterward. “You are free to attend the party.”

“Are you attending the party, Erintina?”

“I plan to do whatever my partner wants.”

Here, it is clear that the partner refers to ‘me’.

“The good thing is that I can open and close the general store I run at any time.”

I choose the items myself at the auction house… .

I thought there would be quite a bit of trouble attending that auction, but it seemed worth it.

‘It’s a thought I sometimes have, but the value of by-products that people know is not at all the same as in stores.’

Of course, in general, if the price is high, the store will also charge more.

But sometimes, why do they charge so much for this? There were also objects that gave me that feeling.

I think that’s probably because people haven’t been able to find the true value of the item.

And if I can find something like that at this auction, it will be a huge benefit to me.

‘And just attending an auction like this once is meaningful.’

The problem was that attending this auction required prior preparation.

“But it’s a place that not everyone can enter. Can I attend?”

“I was going to speak first and ask for your understanding, but you spoke first. Actually, you need to be prepared to go in here. “It’s because it’s a place that selectively accepts people.”

“What should I prepare?”

When I asked whether I should prepare something big, I got a surprisingly simple answer.

“It’s a costume.”

“A costume?”

You have to follow the dress code.

Actually, it’s not that new.

If I entered the auction house wearing the clothes I usually wear, I would probably attract people’s attention.

Where on earth did this bastard come from to look at me and say that he was so rude?

“If possible, I would like you to match my partner’s clothes. As you know, you are invited to become my partner.”

“I don’t mind wearing clothes, but the auction is tonight and I don’t think it will be easy to find clothes to wear.”

It wasn’t important to fit my partner’s dress code, but I had to worry about whether I could find an outfit to wear.

“Of course I should introduce you to that level. Since the auction is taking place right now, it is impossible to get a new one, so you will have to wear ready-made clothes. Would you like to come with me?”

“If you have a place to live, you won’t have to worry any more. “Please guide me right away.”

I decided to close the general store right away and got up.

“Let’s take a carriage.”

“Let’s do that.”

We traveled in a carriage on Erintina’s horse.

The carriage is heading to Noble Street.

It is a place filled with shops selling luxury goods mainly for nobles.

I knew the location, but it felt unfamiliar because I didn’t really need to look carefully.

I remember passing by the area a few times while looking for a good spot.

“I’m looking forward to seeing what clothes will suit you.”

Erintina didn’t hide her excitement about my outfit on the carriage ride.
