episode_0143

I was briefly overcome with excitement after checking the account for the purpose of disposing of the gold statue.

“Hmm….”

Now I’ve started using something like a household account book, which didn’t fit my horoscope.

“This is Sheila’s allowance, this is the general’s allowance.”

“Isn’t that too much?”

“…Is that so?”

Every time I write something big, Sheila’s tackle comes from the side.

No, why are you doing that when you say you give yourself a lot of allowance?

“What if we just reduce 0 here?”

“There’s a lot of that too!”

“Then what about two zeros?!”

“….”

I don’t think my economic sense was that bad.

I felt like I was in a mess because I suddenly had this much money.

“This, this is?”

“I think it’s okay.”

“Eh… isn’t that too little?”

“It would be difficult if you suddenly had too much money.”

“I think that’s because Sheila doesn’t spend much money.”

I started to write down Sheila’s other share of money, separate from her allowance.

“Chris?”

“This is money sent to Silver Side Cat Mom!”

“You don’t have to go that far.”

“Hey, no matter what, it’s still between us.”

Above all, considering Sheila’s personality, it was clear that she would spend most of the allowance I gave her on her mother and siblings.

“Silane’s family has their own money. Shelane always uses her own allowance.”

“….”

Sheila seemed reluctant to open her mouth after hearing that.

I took advantage of that gap and did the same thing again.

“Chris? Why the General and Mr. Ray again?”

“Tsk tsk. Sheila, the general has lab staff too. Lab sponsorship! And Ray, just like you, if I gave him pocket money, he’d probably give it to his office guys instead of using it himself!”

It was a reasonable household account book that took into account all possible cases.

“….”

Even Sheila couldn’t really refute what I said.

No, to be exact, it would be correct to say that it could not be refuted.

“Okay, is this enough?”

A maintenance allowance for Laia and the other members of her household. Even pocket money for the other members of the office.

Even though I’ve been keeping a household account book under various names like this, all my expenses up until now haven’t been a burden to me.

“Okay, that’s all I have to write.”

“When will you withdraw the money?”

“Well, I’m going to go to the bank first.”

As it happened, the account into which Sebastian deposited the gold statue disposal money was an account in a dwarven bank.

There are more than one or two banks in this city, but the most famous one is the Dwarf Bank.

In fact, it’s a bank in name only. If you look at the things it does using the dwarven gang that it’s in cooperation with behind the scenes, it’s something like a bank.

“Where is the nearest dwarf bank from here?”

“Uh… Wait a minute.”

While Sheila searches for the Dwarf Bank with her terminal.

I took the ledger and told Ray and the general how much money they would both receive.

***

“That, Chris?”

“Why? Isn’t this just right?”

“No, I think this is too much.”

“General, what do you think?”

“Thank you, Chris!”

Oh my… As expected, our general is quick-witted.

“Ray, look at this. In times like these, it’s right to be grateful.”

“Still, this is a bit….”

“Oh my, I only trust you, sister!”

Sister, you have a lot of money!

“Okay, look carefully. Since it’s obvious that you’ll be handing it over to Ilseong and the other hyungs anyway, I’ve set aside money to go that way.

“….”

“Your allowance is for your own use only. Do you understand?”

“…Okay, Chris.”

Ray answered as he grabbed my hand.

Hey, this is such a sudden skinship.

“I will gratefully accept it.”

“Yeah, how great!”

I quickly pulled my hand away, striking the janggu.

It’s not that I don’t like Ray’s skinship… I should say it’s too embarrassing.

“General, I will also support the research institute where your friends are. Not bad, right?”

“Wow!”

Ahant Aquatic Biology Institute. That was probably the correct name.

When the general was informed of this fact, he raised both his arms and cheered.

“Come to think of it, I wonder when the general and Sheila will be able to do the water transformation.”

“Won’t you do it soon?”

Ray didn’t mind me changing the subject.

“It seems like the time spent in a state of being a number of people is getting longer and longer.”

“Um, um. Right.”

Now, I just put on makeup and go to sleep, and the next morning I look exactly the same.

“U.”

Meanwhile, the general I was holding made a cute sound.

“General, don’t you want to finish the water painting quickly?”

“…I don’t know.”

An unexpected answer.

It’s not like things will get any worse once the water level drops.

Sheila will be fixed as a beautiful woman who looks more like an older sister to me, and Janggun will be fixed as a little boy who is far from the appearance of a giant water general.

Because they both became vampires when they joined my ranks!

Appearance could be changed at any time.

I slowly explained that part to the general.

“General, you’ve seen Chris and I turn into bats many times, right?”

“Yes.”

Ray, who was watching from the side, also started to get involved.

“The general can transform into whatever he wants, just like us.”

“Yeah, so don’t worry too much.”

Rather than listing the merits of Suinhwa to a young general,

It seemed like a much better way to tell them that there was no problem.

***

“Chris, I found you.”

“Huh? Where are you?”

While Ray and I were doing that with the general, Sheila approached us.

“There’s no one in Auckland… It’s in nearby Hyde Park.”

“Hyde Park? Where in Hyde Park?”

If it was Hyde Park, you had to cross the border and go south.

Coincidentally, the Steel Shark office led by Belova was based in Out Village on the Hyde Park side.

“Mastello Park in Hyde Park.”

“…Where is that?”

“Look at the map here.”

Sheila tapped the terminal screen.

At the same time, a holographic map of Hyde Park and the surrounding area appeared above the terminal.

“Oh!”

“This is Mastello Park.”

“Then where is Out Village?”

“Uh…here it is.”

The location of the Out Village that Sheila pointed to.

It wasn’t too far from Mastello Park. It was just the right distance to visit the Dwarf Bank there.

“Then while you’re at it, you should meet Belova too.”

“Ms. Belova too?”

“Yeah, I thought about it. You’ve got a lot of money, but you want to earn it more comfortably, right?”

“…A little more comfortable?”

“Yeah!”

Even just making a golden statue with the power of Midas is like that.

Why did you go to the trouble of using a method that would make Midas and I feel so guilty?

All they had to do was make a golden statue of a moderately large beast.

Inanimate objects… I’m not sure. I think it was possible in the Dream City game, though.

“I have all the thoughts.”

“Isn’t that a strange method?”

“Hey, you don’t trust me?!”

“…Okay. I’ll believe you.”

Ahem!

I could understand Sheila’s reaction.

To be honest, it’s true that I didn’t have faith in this kind of thing.

Since it was based on real-world experiences, it could be wrong.

‘I should ask Belova first.’

“Ray, can you take a look at the general?”

“Huh?”

“I’m going to go to the bank with Sheila for a bit.”

“Me too?”

I gently tugged on Sheila’s ear.

“Why? You don’t like it? Then should I go with Ray?”

“No, I’ll go too.”

“….”

Ray’s eyes changed as he saw Sheila hastily accepting it.

Should I call it a jealous look? Ray doesn’t look bad when he has a jealous look.

***

“Ray, please hold on for a moment.”

“Okay, take care on your way.”

But even that gaze quickly faded in front of my request.

“Oh, if possible, some Midas food too…”

“I know that much, so don’t worry.”

Ray answered like that and suddenly got up from his seat.

side.

…uh?!

In an instant, Ray’s soft lips touched my forehead.

It was Ray, not me, who kissed her forehead, but he himself must have felt embarrassed because he took the general and hurriedly left the place.

“….”

Although Sheila’s expression became worse, I quickly took Sheila and left the house.

“Whoaaaa!”

“Chris, do you like it that much?”

“What’s so good about it! I’m embarrassed!”

“…I don’t think so.”

I don’t know! I don’t know either!

He quickly transformed into a baby bat and climbed onto Sheila’s shoulders.

“How do I get to Hyde Park?”

“Just a minute. I need to talk to Lund.”

The terminal could not be used in bat form.

Due to some compromises, it was transformed into its original form in a very small size.

“….”

“Sheila, your expression is a bit dangerous?”

“It’s nothing.”

The look in Sheila’s eyes as she looked at my greatly shrunken figure was scary.

“Lund?”

“What is it?”

When I called Lund on the terminal, I was greeted by the same old, blunt response.

“Can you call me a flying car?”

“…Where are you going?”

“Of course it’s home!”

Beep!

As soon as I answered, the call ended.

“Hey!”

It was clear that Lund had ended the call without answering.

“Shillaaaa….”

“Considering Mr. Lund’s personality, I think he would have sent it.”

“Is that so?”

Because it’s like a cold, sticky bun.

However, I decided to wait together, believing in Sheila’s trust in Lund.

“…Oh, really?”

“Look at that. Mr. Lund always does this.”

The sight of a flying car approaching from afar.

Sheila and I transformed and went straight down to the first floor without having to take the elevator.

“It’s still magnificent no matter when I see it.”

“I’ll set the location.”

“Then it’s good for me.”

Since the flying car was a driverless car, we needed to set a separate destination.

Just as I was sinking into my plush seat, Sheila set her destination.

Then the door closed on its own, and the sharp body began to move as it rose.

It was very quiet, without any fuss. It felt like an electric car in the real world.

“How many minutes will it take?”

“Well? But won’t it take a while?”

“I need to close my eyes for a bit.”

Then I placed my small hand on top of Sheila’s. Sheila didn’t seem to mind at all and just stayed still.

How much was it like that?

I felt the sensation of the flying car landing at a specific point with my whole body.

“Sheila, where am I?”

“Out village.”

“Huh? Weren’t you supposed to go to the bank first?”

“This is closer.”

“I see! Then let’s meet Belova first.”

***

It wasn’t bad, since I had some questions to ask.

“I hope I get to eat something delicious again.”

“Huh?”

“There is something like that.”

It wasn’t too bad, and I’d like to add some caviar if I get the chance.

Caviar from a shark man. I liked the slightly devout feeling.

‘Ah, that’s why I sound like a pervert.’

I shook my head back and forth to try to come to my senses.

“Is that Shark Mall?”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

Since it wasn’t my first time there, the sharks at Shark Mall recognized me.

“Tell your sister.”

“Yes!”

The people began to make way for us on their own, and as soon as I and Sheila entered Shark Mall, Belova was walking towards us.

“Belova! Hello! ”

“Haha, this time I won’t call you Madam.”

“Then! I won’t do anything that the other person doesn’t like.”

“Chris, what does that mean?”

“There is something like that.”

Sheila blew up both of her flames in response to my reaction.

Belova and I smiled at the crooked look.

“So what’s going on all of a sudden?”

“I stopped by for a bit because I had some work nearby. Is your timing okay?”

“Of course.”

Every time she spoke, the gills around her throat moved along with her.

Oh… I guess the idea of wanting to touch a shark’s gills is a bit strange.

“It’s a bit much to keep standing here and talking. Follow me.”

“Yeah!”

I turned into a baby bat and climbed onto Sheila’s shoulder.

“Okay, Sheila. Let’s go.”

“Yes, I got it.”

Sheila answered as if she had no choice.

So we arrived at the same fancy restaurant as last time, and sat down in what seemed like Belova’s private seat.

“Isn’t that really important?”

“No, it’s very important to me!”

It flew slightly above Sheila’s shoulder.

He landed directly on Belova’s shoulder.

“By any chance….”

I confirmed one thing with her.

I’m wondering what the price of a large billboard around here is.

“Why all of a sudden?”

“I have a lot of money. I’m thinking about investing it.”

“…hmm well.”

“And I would also like to know the number of buildings with large electronic billboards. Is that possible?”

There is a saying that… the person who makes more money than the building owner is… the signboard owner, although it may vary depending on the case.

“Well, it’s not impossible. But even if our kids are quick, it’ll take a while. Is that okay?”

“Yeah! I can tolerate that much.”

No matter how much Midas and I try to use methods to make ourselves feel less guilty.

That wasn’t a fundamental solution.

I needed a steady, regular income that would be deposited into my account!

The gold prize money is enormous, so they are using it as a basis to buy a lot of large screens.

That was exactly my plan.

Of course, there are various legal issues.

I thought that with the fame of being ranked 10th in the problem solving category, something would work out.
