Grandfather took something out of his arms.

‘Subspace!’ Even though my grandfather was like that, he was a 7th circle master.

“What do you think, lady?”

Before I knew it, I had spread out the mat and laid out the documents and maps so that I could see them easily.

“We are planning to take over this place and this place.”

Even while smiling brightly, he looks at my gaze. When I look at him, I see him slowly tracing with his fingers and my father’s words about him being a very capable person despite being a wiry old man come to mind.

‘Is this flirting?’

At that moment, I thought again about the definition of the Kkojang Kkojang in me.

‘Obvious favor…’

Still, considering the way I was talking about myself just a moment ago, it’s a bit too close to get close…

“Hmm.”

That said, every time I see this old man, he brings me snacks or gifts… .

The maids made a fuss, saying that the clothes they received last time were also from famous designers. Although I felt like I was having a hard time with clothes that were only 5 years old.

‘what… . ‘It was pretty.’

My heart is shaking. I guess this is why people pay bribes.

“What is it?”

When I showed interest, I laughed out loud as they even set up a soft-looking baby cushion.

“This is the diamond mine, and that is the ruby mine. And silver was discovered in this area, and judging by the size of the vein, the reserves…”

When I read the displayed place name, I frowned without realizing it.

‘Is everything going to be ruined there?’

“Miss Marian, is there something bothering you?”

He seems to have noticed a small change in me and asks me carefully.

He must have been a bad old man to ask something like this to a 5-year-old.

“It’s a bit lame there.”

“It’s copper… ?”

I didn’t intend to go into detail. I dismissed it as a child’s remark and tried to ignore it, but my grandfather tilted his head and listened to my trivial words with a serious attitude, like a scholar listening to a thesis presentation.

As a result, my mouth starts itching.

I had forgotten about it until I looked at the map in the first place.

Andes Mountains. Rubies and diamonds are indeed found, but the reserves are poor compared to the size of the large mine. In the original work, investment fraud occurs using this.

There’s no way a valuable mine could be found that easily in the first place, right?

“Not there, here.”

The place I pointed to was the Forest of Black Demon Beasts. As you can see from the name, it is a place teeming with monsters. In the original work, the female protagonist forms a small group of people to help the villagers. The subjugation party consisted mainly of academy friends and subordinates, and some of them were injured and their level rose. Although there were a few events.

It’s none of my business.

“Woman, this is the Forest of Demonic Beasts… . So, it’s full of monsters… .”

My grandfather probably thought I didn’t know, so he gave me an explanation.

“I know. Invest here and get half the profits.”

Normally, you would think it was bullshit.

‘This is both a private and private test.’

Hermann’s eyes lit up.

It seems you saw something the old man didn’t see.

‘I can’t believe you told me that specifically…’

“Okay, lady!”

“Then, the deal is done.”

I smiled and held out my hand. Maybe he had a rather evil smile on his face?

Compared to the original, there won’t be as many monsters.

The reason monsters gather is because of the abandoned wasteland.

A dragon’s rare and tomb, simply put, an ownerless treasure trove. ‘Wouldn’t it be better if it were a female protagonist? It will be resolved before the monsters overflow and people suffer.’

Grandfather’s reaction was more enthusiastic than expected.

Is this how a fangirl reacts after shaking hands with her favorite celebrity?

“If you utilize the Black Hawk Knights, you will be able to subdue them within a month.”

My grandfather looked at my father after hearing what I said.

“I also invest. As soon as preparations are complete, I will order Jin to form a punitive force.”

Immediately a trustworthy voice was heard.

As I said, the Order of the Black Hawk is an elite order of knights… .Well, it seems like those guys would listen, but they make their decision too easily.

“Marian, is there anything else?”

My father asked me with an expectant expression…

“Hmm. Then… here, here, and here.”

I pointed out a few more places I knew of that were valuable.

Arden looked at the Count with strange eyes.

That bratty Count Hermann smiles and jokes like an old man who has belatedly found a granddaughter.

Moreover, Count Hermann is a person who is very sensitive to money. He is famous for personally investigating the territory’s budget and even the slightest suspicion of embezzlement.

As such, he is a person who carefully considers the profit and loss when making investments… .

What on earth does this conversation mean?

That wasn’t all. It’s been a while since I visited the Knights… .

‘For our master, Lady Marian!’

‘Is that all you can do?’

‘Lady Marian will be disappointed.’

‘You can do it, Black Hawk Knights!’

It was a shout I often heard when I went to the military parade ground.

No matter how hard it is for you to be heard by the knights, you are still the owner… .

It was strangely unpleasant, but the fact itself was not unpleasant.

The attitude of the count who chatters and the daughter who gestures disdainfully.

Is that age? His skill at flattering was unusual.

My daughter’s guard relaxed as she continued to respond.

‘I. ‘Oh my!’

Seeing the count holding his daughter’s hand and fretting, I remembered the report I received from Jin a few days ago.

‘Matriarch, it is said that the Earl of Haywards is buying clothes for a 5-year-old girl. He himself went to a famous boutique and bought only the expensive ones… . That person is known for being strict and tight on budget!’

‘All his grandchildren will be boys?’

After that, Marianne liked the abundance of dresses and accessories that arrived, so she didn’t stop them.

Somehow, I felt uncomfortable.

The count even put on a monocle and took out the rest of the documents.

“Lady, what is this area like?”

“Hmm. Iron is not good… . ah! The price of flour will rise in this area.”

Arden watched his daughter’s hand gestures carefully, like a hawk waiting for its prey.

*

“Oh… . That perspective… ! Still, I think I might not have enough budget to buy them all…”

“Marian, daddy will buy it all!”

Dad, who had been silent for a while, shouted loudly.

“Yes?”

“Matriarch?”

“Count Hermann, I will buy everything that is lacking in your budget.”

I was taken aback, and it was clear that my grandfather was also taken aback.

I thought you would be opposed to the matriarch’s crazy behavior.

“Oh. That’s a really good idea. Then, we can occupy all the land that the young lady chose.”

My grandfather also agreed with my father’s opinion.

‘…This old man was strange too.’

Anyway, it’s a bit much, right?

‘What can I say, it feels like it’s piled up because I’m choosing pretty clothes at random?’

Of course, they are all expected to be huge hits. However, the price of land is not just a penny or two, and some places are already quite expensive, and if you buy it all, an average family would be in deep debt.

‘hmm…’

Somehow, I ended up stealing the area that was about to explode, starting with the female protagonist’s biggest source of funds.

Still, that side is the area where magic stones will be found, and that side is a land that will become famous for its richness, so it would be a shame to miss it… .

Well, the more money you have, the better!

I had no intention of explaining it in the first place, but seeing the positive response, I got excited and started talking.

‘I was inadvertently excited… .’

Grandpa and Dad were so impressed that they even clapped their hands… .

“As expected, you are the fortune of the family.”

“My daughter is a genius.”

Still, since it was passed on like that, there was no need to reveal the source of the knowledge.

suddenly… . It reminded me of parents who would clap and praise their children’s presentations when I was in kindergarten.

‘Mom never came…’

Is this what a fun party is like?

And a few days later, the jackpot hit.

After that, Grandfather Hermann became my financial officer.

In short, general secretary. Dad also agreed, so there shouldn’t be a problem.

I was a little worried about his old age, but he was capable. I corrected it because he was a wizard.

* * *

And several months passed.

I was enjoying tea time in my private office.

“Miss Marian, this is a hit again!”

My grandfather comes in panting, shouting my name.

Some regions have already easily surpassed the break-even point for the total amount invested. Especially the Forest of Black Beasts. It’s a really cool guy.

The dragon’s body was returned to nature, but its mana was oxidized and even the highest grade magic stones were being mined.

Not only that, the value of discovered treasures and relics cannot be converted into money.

This one is especially big in the ongoing lottery, so it’s understandable to be excited.

I knew it too, so I wasn’t surprised, but it felt good.

Even if you know that a stock will be a big hit, it is bound to be good when it actually goes up.

“Thank goodness.”

I responded appropriately and nodded.

Still, she has the dignity of a young lady, so she can’t just laugh and laugh.

Count Hermann didn’t even sit down on the chair, but put his hands together politely like a butler. That’s right. I nodded with that feeling.

“That indifferent reaction.”

Are you indifferent? Was I that indifferent?

“You already knew everything. No, at this point it’s strange that you don’t know.”

‘hmm…?’

Isn’t this it?
