Chapter 413
Chapter 413
After a lunch break, the afternoon session began. Im guessing the number of participants doubled?
That!
Allen and Elena were quiet in their chairs for the first few items, but as soon as the lace-knitted stole appeared, they rose from their seats.
Thats a beautiful stole. You want it?
For Obaasama!
Oh, I see.
It looks like they want to give it to Rebecca-san as a gift.
There are also handmade one-of-a-kind items on display in the afternoon session, but many of them look more elaborate and intricate than the ones in the morning session, and they were surely made for the nobility.
Why not? I hope you win.
Will do our best!
I had no reason to object, so I decided to let the kids do as they please.
There seem to be another two bidders beside the children.
Indeed.
Its going to cost them quite a bit of money, are you not stopping them?
Well, its such an elaborately knitted item, so Im fine with it.
If I were to put up an order to get a similar item, it would take a considerable amount of time, even years.
Yay~!
It seems that Allen and Elena successfully bid on the item.
The price well, its a reasonable amount. The only thing is, if the kids put in a serious effort, they can make it back by doing a few harvesting requests. When I think about it like that, it doesnt seem that expensive but is my sense of money failing because my thinking is as such?
Wah! Not good!
The children, who should have been happy, suddenly turned serious as if they had realized something.
Eh, whats up with you all of a sudden?
We dont have!
Enough money!
Ahh.
When I hurriedly asked them what was going on, the kids looked desperate as they pulled the leather bags they use as wallets out of their pouches.
Apparently, they realized that they did not have enough cash on hand.
They have no less than a large silver coin on them at any given time, but no more than one gold coin. I dont let them carry more coins than that. Naturally, they wouldnt have enough to pay for the stole.
But, well, for their age, I would rather they dont carry that much.
Oniichan has enough, so dont worry about it. Rather, I think you can pay with your Guild cards as well.Uhh, you can, right?
Hahaha~ You can, you can. Dont worry.
That is good.
Good~~~
I was aware that it was possible to use cards for high value transactions, instead of cash. But well, Ive never paid with a card before.
So, I checked with Al-sama and it seems to be okay. If he had said no to this, I would have had to rush to the Guild to get the money for the magic ring.
Here, the Guild cards.
Ah, yes, we will pay for everything at once later.
Is that so?
That is so.
Immediately, the children presented me their Guild cards, and I urged them to put them away in their pouches.
By the way, Takumi, I dont know if this is a good time to ask this, but how much money do you let your kids have?
Cash?
No, the deposit.
Oh~ I dont remember accurately, but I think its quite a bit?
Ah, yeah, I figured you would say that.
No, I mean, the children often find rare herbs and stuff like that. When I sell those, of course I would deposit it on their accounts, no?
I think that the money made from the Crystal Elk antlers should also be the childrens. But it was transferred to my account instead.
If I was careless, the childrens rewards would be getting deposited to my account instead.
Really?
Its true. Why would I lie about this? Well, the children dont know the numbers on their accounts either.
The kids have no idea how much money theyre making.
I mean, I cant even try to give them an exact figure because I dont sell all the materials they collect or get from defeating monsters.
Wah! Oniichan, look!
N? Next is a stick? Ah, a magic tool?
Right! For Ojiisama!
I guess that would be good. Well, good luck getting it!
Oh~!
This time they have found a present for Matthias-san, so the children joined in the bidding, showing their motivation.
Is that going to be helpful?
For self-defense, I guess? If he was attacked I dont think this would help him to repel his assailants, but it would allow him to make them stunned momentarily, allowing him to make his next move.
It seems to be a magic tool that generates a flash of light when the tip of the stick is slammed into the ground with force.
Yay~!
The children bid on it rather easily, perhaps because it was quite a strange magic tool.
Well, the walking stick itself was of a very nice design, so it would find a use even without consideration for its abilities.
Ah! That too, that too!
Whats next for Velio-san?
Correct!
It seems that they intend to find something for the entire Ruven family.
For Velio-san, it was a magic tool that looked like a pocket watch. They also bid on ornaments for Almeria-san and Rosalie-san one after the other.
Muu.
Im not sure if you will find anything that suits his tastes~
The bidding was going well up to that point, but they couldnt find anything for Wald-san.
By the way, have you already decided on what kind of item would be good for him?
Umm a sword?
A weapon, huh~
Wald-sans weapon of choice is a sword. A flaming magic sword at that. Im guessing here, but I think his has to be a good one. Finding something better, or even equal would be quite difficult.
I dont think you will find anything better than his current sword at the action~ I think getting lucky in a dungeon would be more like hm?
Nniyu?
I just remembered, but didnt we get a sword in the Dungeon of Ripples?
Ah!
I remembered that when we had conquered Dungeon of Ripples, we obtained a magic sword with fire magic from a treasure chest in the boss room (Chapter 85). A sword is a sword, but I think that sword belongs to the category of great swords.
Alright, since we came to this point, lets impose that sword onto Wald-san!
Impose it!
Since its been stored in my Infinite Storage for a while now, there is no problem with giving it away. So I think Ill have it be Walt-sans sub weapon.
Oi, oi.
Hearing the conversation between me and the kids, Al-sama had a dumbfounded look on his face.
Takumi, you said you will impose the sword onto him your wording is bad.
Ah, excuse me. But, I dont think he will accept it under normal circumstances, so we will have to impose it onto him.
I have a feeling that he will probably(?), most likely(?) not accept it under normal circumstances.
That means its something good, no? You said you obtained it in a dungeon, but at what floor is it from?
Its from the last level of an intermediate dungeon.
Hahh!? Isnt that a pretty good thing then, Takumi!?
That might be the case, but its not like I can use it myself anyway?
Al-sama raised his voice in surprise. But good or not, a great sword is something I wont be able to wield.
That being the case, we will use the confusion to get rid of it and hand it to him.Allen, Elena, are you good with that?
Yeah! Will impose it onto him!
It seems that they were pleased with the word Impose. Lets be careful about my wording next time.
So that means, all thats left is Lucario-kun?
Yeah!
N? What about the stuffed toy from the morning session?
Ah! That one is good too!
They bid on the huge stuffed animal with great vigor, but it looks like it would be a good present for Lucario-kun.
Well, look for something else first, and if you dont find anything, go with the stuffed animal. How about that?
Lets do that~
Allen and Elena werent like That stuffed animal is ours!, so we have now secured enough presents for the entire Ruven family.
