Kujibiki Tokushou: Musou Hāremu ken

Chapter 17

Chapter 17 . Shopping with all your money .

I distanced myself from Helena-hime . Looking bashful as she looked down, she looked super cute .

“Umm… . . ”

“Un . ”

“Maiden of royalty can only have one man in her entire life, it has been decided like that so . . ”

“Un?”

I immediately able to guess what was she mean by saying those word . I am her first man, and thus, will always be .

TLN: Well that escalated quickly .

That was what Helena-hime trying to say .

“Un, I understand . ”

“Although it will be quite hard for me to move into Kakeru-sama place for now . ” Helena made a saddened look .

“You words alone are more than enough, I’ll be waiting . ”

“Haii—-!”

And thus, Helena had become my woman .

***

The following day . Miu was holding something as she entered the room where I was relaxing .

“Master, a letter for you . ”

“Letter for me?”

I received the letter from Miu, looking at the surface of the letter there was a crest which I had seen before .

“It’s from Saramas Firm . ”

I wonder what is it, to send me something like this .

I opened the letter and took the paper inside out, and read the spread out the paper .

(Bill, it’s that girl price . )

I heard a voice resonated inside my head . As I cannot read this world’s writing I am really grateful for that .

“I see, he did say they will deal with the bill later after I bought Miu the other day, so it was that . ”

“Was it about me?”

“What’s wrong?”

“300 silver, to think that I would I worth that much money . ”

“300?”

I don’t know the market price for it but, I don’t think that Saramas would do something like overcharging, well . I did think it should be around that amount .

“Well then, I guess I’ll go and pay it up . ”

***

I used the Warp Wing bringing 300 silver coins with me and went to Saramas firm and paid Miu’s bill . A number of silver coins were a little bit bulky so it was quite hard to bring .

“Certainly, I have received 300 silver coins, and here is the certificate . ”

I received a splendid piece of paper with the character of “Saramas Firm” written on it .

“Thank you for doing business with our company . ”

“Ah, if there’s anything else that I need I’ll be seeing you again . ”

“Which reminds me Yuuki-sama . Have you heard the rumors that the Kingdom are issuing a new type of currency soon?”

“Heee?”

My heart skipped a beat . Probably it was the matter where I suggested Iris-hime to change the currency to a paper bill . Of course, I knew that, but I kept it to myself .

“That’s a news to me . Is it often the case where a new currency would be issued?”

“No, it only happens when the ruling kingdom changed . Normally it would not be the case . ”

“Is that so . ”

I heard a lot of rumors regarding the soon to be issued paper bill . Originally it was a matter that I proposed to Iris-hime, furthermore it’s a thing that I pretend not to know . Thinking about the type of rumors, it should be on that level at least .

Only, deciding the unit of money is the new thing that I heard . Probably it would be like ‘yen’ or ‘dollar’ or maybe something along the line .

“By the way, it has caught my attention since earlier but . The thing that Yuuki-sama got on your waist, is that…”

“Hn? Ah, is it regarding Eleanor?”

I picked up the cursed sword from my waist and showed it to Saramas .

Though ‘she’ has been quite obedient lately since we started our cooperation, but it still quite dangerous for others to touch thus I’ve always kept it by my side .

“As I thought it’s the cursed sword, Eleanor . To think that you would have something like that . ”

“I’ll say this beforehand . It won’t sell it . ”

As I remembered that Saramas is a merchant, I said it as a reminder .

***

I exit from the firm . When I was about to use the Warp Wing to teleport back to my mansion, I realized that there was something that shines came out from my pocket . I was greatly surprised when I pulled it out .

It was a lottery ticket . I have used all the 10 lottery tickets that I had to draw it 11 times, but why would there be a lottery ticket left in my pocket .

I somehow had a suspicion—-

Miu’s certificate .

After I paid for Miu’s certificate of 300 silver, I got one lottery ticket .

“Is it because I bought something and thus I was given a lottery ticket— is that it?”

As of nowadays, it’s a normal thing in Japan but this is another world . I was not able to make a positive proof as it was a weird lottery .

That’s why I decided to do an experiment .

***

The total asset that I had with me was close to 2000 silver coins . I brought it all out in the city . I used one silver to have a meal but, I didn’t get any lottery tickets . I went to the tailor, and I got Miu’s maid outfit made . I spent about 10 coins but the lottery tickets never appeared .

I went to a shop one after another and bought a lot of things, I used about 100 silver coins but still I didn’t get any lottery ticket .

This new lottery ticket, so buying from the market was not the cause for it to appear? Then, there is the second possibility that I could think off .

I bought something from Saramas Firm, using a large amount of money at that .

☆

“Welcome in, oh my . Isn’t Yuuki-sama? Is there anything that I can help you with?”

“A little bit, there’s something that I need you to prepare for me . ”

“Please state whatever thing that you had in mind,” Saramas said it with his merchant look .

Now then, first off I’ll try buying something casual .

“I need furniture, some furniture that I had back in the mansion had aged quite a lot so I would like to change them . ”

“Certainly . ”

“If that so then, it would cost about 25 silver coins, how about it?”

“I’ll leave it to you . ”

After I count the silver coins up to 25 I then passed it over to Saramas .

“Thank you for doing business with us . I will have it prepared immediately . ”

“Please do,” I replied and wait for a while .

There was no appearance of a lottery ticket .

Does it not have anything to do with Saramas Firm, if that so then would it be the cost? I gave a thought about something and once again asked for Saramas .

“I’d like to buy a painting . ”

“Painting is it?”

“Yeah, a painting that you would usually put inside a waiting room, a painting with frame . I don’t really have any knowledge regarding painting so please find me the one that is priced about 300 silver coins . ”

300 silver coins amounted to Miu’s worth . The lottery ticket might appear if I spent the right amount .

“I understand . ”

“Well then, this is the 300 silver coins . ”

“Certainly we have received the payment . However for this one, it will take some time for it to be arranged…”

“I’ll leave it all to you . ”

It was already within my expectation as I just bought something expensive . Rather than that, lottery ticket . I feel around my pocket area and then… It’s there!

The lottery ticket that was not there until recently had appeared . Taking Miu’s payment and the transaction that I had just now, it matched the condition . In another word, I will get a lottery ticket when I bought something expensive . With that set, I won’t hold back .

I walked toward Saramas with the lottery ticket (Saramas can’t see the ticket) and take out all the silver that I had left .

“I have about 1 600 silver coins left, what else can I buy with this?”

“… . . What a unique shopping that you have . ” Saramas said with a faint smile .

His reaction is just reasonable, if I look it from his point of view certainly I would feel the same .

However, from my point of view .

This money is just something that I need to spend on something to obtain the lottery ticket . I don’t really care to do an actual shopping .

“Please wait for a while . ” Saramas said and withdrawn himself for a while before coming back with a tray in his hold .

It was a golden bracelet with a jewel embedded on it .

“This is?”

“TThis is something that is quite popular among the upper echelons gentlemen these days . By putting this on the woman in your harem, you make them as your personal possession . ”

“Hee…”

“This is a sample . As it’s solely built to be claimed as one’s property, we’re arranging it depending on the clients request . Like for instance, as a gold bracelet with jewels inscribed on it . ”

That is interesting .

Item that allows you to possess a harem .

It doesn’t seem that I’ll have the chance to use it anytime soon, but for the meantime, I’ll just buy it .

“Well then give me that one which equivalent to 1 600 silver coins . ”

“Then it would be four bracelets, are you fine with it?”

“Yeah . ”

I took out the rest of silver coin along with the cloth bag and Saramas begun counting .

“Certainly I’ve received the payment . ” The moment Saramas said it, once again the lottery ticket appeared on my pocket . This time, there were five of it!
