Kujibiki Tokushou: Musou Hāremu ken

Chapter 7

I looked around the government office and then took a pen and a piece of paper . I tore up the piece of paper into a rectangular shape, wrote down ‘1 000’ on top of it and hand it over to Princess Iris .

“This is?”

“Can you cast the same magic like what have been done onto the royal crest?”

“… . . What do you mean by that?”

“To put it simple, let the royalty issue this piece of paper as the new currency . ”

Money bill, I said .

“……?”

“The royal crest can only be issued by royalty . So even if we let go of the money, the crest will still remain . ”

“Um . ”

“In other word, there is no one who can falsify this sort of money . Even if they destroy it, the value would be void . ”

“I see!”

“That is blasphemy you bastard!” The knight who had always been standing on one side of the wall since I got here said, the one who introduced Princess Iris, yelled at me . “The item that was attached with the royal crest are the proof of it being an item that was granted by the Imperial family . It has been that way since this country was founded, it is something that maintains authority! To that you would suggest it to use the crest as a form of currency, it is something that should not be distribute to the whole country! Since Princess Helena had granted you with that item you should know the weight that the royal crest bear!”

The knight was talking about the folding fan . Certainly I’m happy when I got this folding fan, but that doesn’t have anything to do with the crest that was embed on it . I looked at the male knight .

He was a firm and serious . Although he was mad, I knew that he doesn’t have any bad meaning behind it . He was just stubborn .

… . And on top of that, very troublesome .

Thus, I think of way to persuade them .

“Okay . ” It was Princess Iris who opened her mouth first .

“Royal Highness?”

“Kakeru you’ve said something good . Umu, why haven’t I thought of something like that before . ”

“Your Royal Highness, don’t tell me… That must not be done . To lose the authority of royal crest over something like that…”

“For the sake of stabilizing the country . ” Iris declared firmly . “They cannot make a counterfeit for the money, surely you can understand the benefits that it bring?”

“Ho— However . ”

“When the currency is stable, the silver and copper can be used as normal resources . Plus…” Iris laughed .

Although the laugh that she gave off was different from what I was hoping for, it still made me exited . This is beautiful in its own way .

“Business can run even easier with this currency . The value of 1 000 coper coin can be equivalent to this one piece of paper . It will be very convenient for the peddlers . Up until now, as brining a lot of coins would be a huge load, they only brought their company’s warranty . If we use this sort of currency, there would a sense of confidence for the trading to take place . And they can do business with peace at mind .

“……”

The knight fell silent .

He was not stupid, he was just a serious kind of man . He understand how big is the benefit that Princess Iris was talking about . However, doing that also means breaking the rules . In the current world, every country were trying their best to fight against counterfeit . That is why counterfeit prevention technology were crammed in .

TLN : Talking about his world .

The higher the technology is, currency… the more stable the money value is .

“Does that magic is something that only the royal family can do?”

“Yeah, only the lineage of royalty can do that magic . ”

“Then should be hard to make a counterfeit for the bills .

“Not should be… It is impossible . ” Princess Iris declared . It’s a foul play . Making it impossible to counterfeit the bills, is as good as a cheat .

In addition, when I made a comparison . The idea of using money bills were already exist in the real world so I don’t think much of my idea .

As I was having such thought .

“Thank you Kakeru . ” Princess Iris said, and she smiled .

“—–!”

That was the smile that I was hoping for . It’s not “Fuu…” nor “Wa…”

It was a gentle smile, an honest smile that can steal your soul .

“Thanks for giving me your idea . Hereby I Iris Theresia Mercury pledge, that I shall definitely return the favor . ”

Definitely .

As Princess Iris smile, that phrase kept on repeating inside my mind .

☆

In a mansion where I live . I was spacing out in the living room .

Sitting on the sofa, I recalled Princess Iris smile . I think about it, pondering and fascinated by it . It was a very good feeling .

While I was thinking about it I heard the cracking sounds . The entrance door, it was the sounds of door’s being knocked .

“Excuse me, is there anyone there?”

A boy voice could be heard accompanying the sounds of the door being knocked . Though the boy raised his voice quite high, as he was outside the door it sounded very small . If my hearing was not strengthened by 777 times, I would probably miss it .

I stood up and head toward the entrance . When I opened the door, there was a simple dressed boy standing in front of me .

“Are you Yuuki Kakeru . ”

“Yes . ”

“It’s a message from master, as we have find a maid that suit your preferences, you can come to the store at any time . ”

“Master…? Maid…? Ah, Saramas-san huh?”

“Yes . ”

“I got it, thank you . ”

☆

When I got inside the firm, as usual Saramas with his protruding stomach came to my greeting .

“Welcome and thank you for coming . ”

He doesn’t change in any way, but there was something that different from him . He had a very big smile, as big as a porcelain bowl drawn on his looks .

“Something good happened?”

“No no no . Rather than that, I’ve heard the rumor how the incident had been solved quickly . Iya—the shortage of copper coin had put us in a bind too . ”

“Ahh, so it’s about that . ”

“Since Kakeru-sama was holding Princess Helena folding fan, it is within my expectation that you are here for a mission . To think that it had become a rumor this soon, as expected from someone like Kakeru-sama . ” Saramas throw the words of flattery to me .

Thought it feels good, it was a little bit unpleasant .

“Rather than that, you said you’ve found a maid that fit my preferences .

“Yes, it’s a bullseye . ”

“Bullseye?”

“You wished for maid who can do her job properly, but as we don’t know what other preferences that you have other than that . We’ve picked up 3 maids for you to choose .

“3 people?”

“They can start working at any time . They all have slave social status . All that is left is for you to choose .

“I see . ”

Choose one from the 3 people, is what he meant by .

Certainly that is not so bad, rather than pushing on maid on me, it’s

better for me to pick the maid that I want .

“Well then, I’ll let them in one by one . ”

“Ahh . ” Saramas clapped after I nodded .

Immediately the door open, and I met with one pair of eyes .

It was a beauty passed her twenties . She looked gentle, in other word the healing type of maid .

At the previous place that she was working at, she was the Maid’s Chief . She resigned as there was another on that replaced her position . She’s a good person, she looks like she can do her job properly too .

The second one was a little bit younger, she looked like 20 years old . This one is the cute type . She looks like a friendly woman who I can bring myself to have conversation with . She doesn’t have any working experience . But she cooks really well and she learn to do housework properly so she can do average work . This one isn’t bad too .

And the third person .

The moment she opened the door and entered the room .

“This girl . ” *PAN* I stood up .

“Yuuki-sama?”

“This girl is good! I will take her . ”

The moment I see her, my heart already decided that there is no other better choice rather than this girl .

She’s cute and beautiful at the same time .

Above everything else .

“It’s a human-beast, are you okay with it?”

It was decided .
