Chapter 410

Episode 410 I am here (5)

I asked the store owner for permission and left Frederick hanging by the door. Originally, I would have just bought a banquet and gone to the bell tower, but I couldn’t do that with a woman in pajamas and bare feet.

“I bought a coat and shoes.”

“Ah...”

“Thank you, sir.”

“It must be cold, so I thought I’d at least wear my outerwear...”

“It’s okay because I don’t get cold.”

It’s impossible to keep him wearing a cape, and it’s even more of a problem when he goes home later.

I decided to walk around nearby and get some clothes and shoes. The judgment that the two Heretic Questioners who were in charge of this type of work would be better suited to act as counselors to the woman than me also influenced my actions.

“The woman wants to buy some shoes.”

“What is your race?”

“Cuerties.”

“Is there anything I need to pay special attention to?”

“There was none.”

Since the feet were soft, like middle-class feet, there was no need to drill any special holes.

While thinking that, I remembered the size of the woman’s feet that I had roughly observed. Even if there were no products with a 5mm difference like in Hyundai, there was a difference of 5cm and 10cm, so it was inevitable.

“What size is better?”

“This should be enough.”

I chose a suitable pair of leather shoes by comparing them to the size of my palm. Since there is wool inside, it will not put too much strain on injured feet.

“Please give me four silver coins.”

Silver coins cost 40,000 pieces. It’s expensive... I grumbled to myself, but obediently paid the price. I knew from experience over the past year that it was a good quality product, so it wasn’t a waste of money to pay for it.

“I’d like to see your coat too.”

“Then how about this? “All fashionable people covet it.”

“Go for something warm and long rather than stylish.”

“Then this?”

“It’s not bad... Are there any other colors? “In a light... bright tone.”

“Bright series? Then... this?”

“It’s okay.”

“This is fourteen silver coins.”

This time too, I paid without saying anything. The store owner neatly folded the clothes and handed them over, with a typical Northern expression.

“ruler.”

“...?”

“From the looks of it, I think I’m giving it to my lover as a gift. I think she’ll like it if I give her a bracelet too.”

“...Thank you for that.”

There seems to be a misunderstanding, but it would be meaningless to explain it here and there. I bowed my head as I put the bracelet the merchant gave me as a bonus into my pocket.

“Don’t be mistaken for a devil and get along well!”

So, that’s a misunderstanding. Instead of explaining, I gave him an awkward handshake and returned to the store. Fortunately, Frederick, who was clever, knew that it was not the time for him to get angry and stayed calm.

“Good job. “I’ll give you some corn when I get back.”

Phew.

okay. Even during this time, I understand your stubbornness in wanting beets. I lightly placed my lips on Frederick’s forehead and then went inside. While I was there, the conversation seemed to have ended somewhat, so the inside of the store was very quiet.

“So what’s the situation?”

“It is said that the lover I was dating suddenly changed his mind and broke up with me. “They say the reason I climbed the bell tower was because I saw a vision of my lover.”

“is it.”

It seems like you had an amazing love since you even welcomed me. Even though it is a breakup ending.

“It must have been a lot of heartache.”

I knelt in front of the woman. It was wrapped in bandages, as if the two people had treated it.

“Do you mind if I put on your shoes?”

“That yes yes.”

“Excuse me.”

It was a bit difficult to put on because it was in the shape of a boot, but it still fit because it was large enough. My keen eye has gone somewhere.

I handed him a new coat, feeling somewhat satisfied that I didn’t have to go back again. The eyes of the woman and the other two people widened.

“... Sir, are you okay?”

“what?”

“It looks expensive...”

“It wasn’t that expensive.”

“Is the material this good?”

“It only cost 140,000 gal.”

“Is it worth 140,000!?”

“...is it expensive?”

“Of course everything is expensive...?”

“I see...”

When I compared it to modern clothes, it was always in this price range... But it’s not like I ever ran out of money. So I didn’t know. This price range was definitely expensive.

“I’m fine, so you should refund this....”

“It’s rude to the merchant to give a refund simply because you changed your mind. And money is meaningless to me. “I think it would make me happier if you could forget your bad memories by wearing this.”

I retrieved the fur cape and draped a new one over her shoulders. The bright color scheme on his reddish-brown hair, which was almost auburn, suited him well.

“I cannot possibly fathom the depth of love you shared with your lover, but I hope that you will not become too absorbed in it. “You are still young and beautiful to sacrifice your life for love.”

I thought it would be rude to give it to him, so I took my hand away. The other person, whose face was particularly flushed because he had entered the relatively warm building from the cold, hastily put on his coat.

“...Lord Job.”

“...Why do you do that?”

“Kyung... I think it would be good for you to have a little more economic sense. Of course, I know that you are a person who makes a lot of money, but...”

“Oh, keep that in mind.”

Even though it may not be a big deal to me, it could be a burden to the recipient, so I definitely need to be careful about this.

...I can guess what the research was about. I scratched my cheek sheepishly and lowered my head.

“I get it. “Be careful what you say next time.”

“Yes... no, you don’t necessarily have to do that. “It’s not your fault.”

“But wouldn’t it be good to reduce the number of misunderstandings?”

I don’t really consciously spit out my words, so I doubt that talking less will reduce it, but it would still be good to be careful.

“...Really, the devil is the problem. “If it weren’t for the devil, it wouldn’t have become such a harsh city.”

“What can I do?”

If the Great Devil of Lust or something were to appear right before my eyes, I would tell him that I am right, but there is no way he would do that. In the end, we have no choice but to hold on until we are caught.

“for a moment.”

But there are thieves even in this city.

“...?”

“Ahh!”

I snatched the pickpocket’s wrist and stopped the boy from running further. The boy, who had already emptied Daniel’s pockets, was holding a few coins and someone else’s money bag in his hands.

“You have bad hand habits.”

“Let go of this...!”

“I won’t criticize you carelessly unless I know the circumstances. “But I would like to advise you that there must be a better way to live your life.”

“What are you saying...!”

“Furthermore, if you are going to steal someone’s pocket in the future, check the target properly before stealing.”

I pointed to the two people next to me.

“You wouldn’t want your wrists cut off by the Heretic Questioner, right?”

“If you know that, you can catch it or not!”

“Hey kid. “Don’t you know that I’m talking this long just to make you look at me?”

“Is that what the Lord says about stealing after identifying the target?”

“I can’t improve this child’s treatment right away. “Before blaming a child for a child’s crime, priority should be given to blaming the environment in which the child had to commit such a crime.”

“Oh... that’s a very good thing to say. “I will engrave this on Maximoyac’s heart.”

“Now give me my money back.”

“...yes.”

“You should also apologize for being wrong.”

“I was wrong.”

“Okay, good job.”

After patting the boy on the shoulder, I placed five silver coins in the palm of the hand that I handed over the copper coin to.

“This...!”

“I don’t want immediate change. Even if you want to change, know that the amount is too small to even try. However, I hope that these five coins can make your day leisurely, and that leisurely day can change your future even a little bit.”

“....”

I know it’s irresponsible, but this is all I can do. I also took someone else’s money bag from the child. Judging by its weight, it seems to be full of fairy tales, so it wouldn’t be a bad exchange for a child.

“I will return this to its original owner. “You’ll be okay, right?”

“...yes.”

“okay. “Go now.”

“....”

The child hesitated and Maxie, who was scratching his head next to me, shouted.

“No. Even if I don’t punish you, I’ll have to take you to the temple and say some harsh words to you.”

“Maxi?”

“Just for the sake of it... do you want to send me some food too?”

It’s almost dinner time. Maxie said and narrowed one eye. Daniel seemed like a friend.

“That’s a good idea.”

“yes?”

“Being taken to a temple would be enough of an excuse for the group the child belongs to.”

“Ah, is there such a thing as kingcho here too?”

“sure.”

Something like this almost caused a big problem.

“Is there such a thing as a quota...?”

I turned around, holding the child’s wrist so that he couldn’t run away – exactly so. Perhaps because he heard our conversation or because of the silver coin in his hand, the child cooperated obediently.

“What happened?”

However, the problem was that when I turned back to the path I was planning to take, I saw new people.

“I came to get my wallet...”

“Ah, is this the owner?”

I’m so surprised. I didn’t know I’d meet someone who resembles the archer character here again. There is still someone next to me who resembles a fighter.

“The Inquisitor has decided to punish pickpockets. So, if you’re angry—”

Still, it’s not the worst encounter. I hid the pickpocket behind me in case something unexpected happened—such as if the pickpocket boy got angry on the other side—and instead, I stepped forward and handed him my wallet.

Fortunately, their eyes were not directed at the pickpocket. Instead, they asked me...

“How do you develop a good relationship with me?”

me?

“...?”

The hand that was grabbed with the wallet was trapped between the other person’s paws.

* * *

And some alley they can’t see.

[Hey, we made this! The plan to catch the pickpocket and attack him was ruined from the beginning.]

[...Well, there’s nothing we can do. There are so many variables in a plan that relies on chance.]

[No, more than that, a vessel of anger was involved again. Is this really okay?]

[Should I make a vessel of anger for something like this?]

[If you’re going to do it, please leave me out. I’m scared of him.]

[I’m just kidding. I’m scared too, so I’ll give up now and step out. There’s also talk that the tower owners are moving.]

The two beings who had been staying there like shadows disappeared.
