297 Episode II Contract

Side: Roséne

"How was your first bed in five months?"

When I woke up, my sister Nora, who was only a few minutes old, laughed happily.

Why is Nora here?

"... I slept well."

I gave up turning my head when I woke up and answered Nora's question for now.

"That's good." Since I'm already forced to leave my house, I'll be lost for five months. "

"It's not like I was lost."

"Yeah. I know. You're not that stupid."

Then why did you ask such a futile question?

Or are you just kidding?

"Hey, why are you here? This isn't the Imperial City's house, is it?"

I quickly bumped my head at the cutout of my sister's conversation, which I didn't quite understand.

"Hmph. I skipped school." Ah, because Rosé has no right to blame you, right? "

"It doesn't matter if you're absent from school or not. No, why were you waiting for me to wake up? I don't think you're coming to see me for nothing."

"Huh. My cute sister came to visit me worried." Can you just say thank you a little bit more? "

What are you talking about? You're not only interested in creating magic and making money.

"Anyway, you're coming with some kind of plan, right?" Let's get down to business. Otherwise, I'll leave this house again without asking the details. "

Threats like this should get us to the point right away. I looked at Nora as I thought about it and tried to get out of bed.

... instead of panicking, Nora laughed.

"Oh, that's fine. Rosé can't leave this room yet."

"... what do you mean?"

Did you do any work in this room?

What are you going to do, lock me up?

“Fufufu, you either signed this contract or you broke it so no one can leave this room.”

That said, Nora appealed to a piece of paper.

"You... you've raised your magic arm a lot."

In the meantime, you've been able to create some powerful magical items.

That's right, I practice every day.

Yeah.

By the way, I'll tell you what you're curious about, but now you can control the flames even if Neria is in a normal state.

”... finally rewarded you for your efforts”

Cannot be used in a rampage state where the Incinerate Magic explodes its emotions.

That's what I thought at first.

Neria, who was never short of magic, couldn't even produce a match of fire, so I didn't think I could help it.

But I didn't give up.

I worked harder than anyone else to increase my magic power.

I'm as happy as I am about the results.

"I think it's because of you, Keel." If it weren't for him, Neria wouldn't even have been able to practice. "

The only way to erase it was by spatial magic.

Is the practice tough without Keel?

Are you two still friends?

"Isn't it better than when you were at school?" Everyone says it's a couple. "

"... yes, I'm glad she looks happy."

It hurts me to think that I might break that happiness.

"What are you talking about?" Now, sign this contract. "

"Yes, yes... it's not going to work, is it?" What kind of contract is this? "

"You'll see when you read it."

"It's troublesome to read, so please explain it with your mouth."

Anyway, because it's about you, it's so detailed that it's troublesome to read, right?

"Hah, I can't help it." In a nutshell, let's start a trade association in Rosé with me. "

The Chamber of Commerce? Are you going to use me to make money?

"Hey, that makes me too much of a fool." Did Rose think I was stupid enough to bring in such a one-sided story? I'm telling you this because Rosé is also good for you! "

Hmm. That's no use trying to incite my guilt.

"But what's in it for me?" And tell me what Nora can gain from working with me. "

"Huh, do I have to teach you everything from scratch? it can't be helped....."

What are you trying to do? You're not on my side.

You're still a child.

“Partnering with me will give you a lot of money and manpower at your disposal.”

"Two, by working with you, I can borrow the knowledge, the technology, the power that you have."

While looking at Nora, who sticks out two fingers, I thought about the back of the words that were spoken succinctly.

Yeah... I still don't understand what my sister is thinking.

Suspend what exactly you're going to do.

Is that some kind of ploy to irritate me?

"The first is... well, I can understand it a little bit." However, the second one is completely unconvincing. You can make plenty of money without my skills and knowledge. And what power do you think I have? "

“I'm starting a shipbuilding and trading company.”

"Shipbuilding and trade..."

Yeah, that's right. Sure, I'll bring it to you.

"I don't have the knowledge of a ship that can sail the sea for a long time, nor do I have the knowledge of sailing to the demon world or the Elves." Either way, I don't think the Elves will honestly trade with the humans. What do you think? Did you understand a little bit about what it means to be with me? ”

The answers came back as expected.

But there's only one thing that bothers you.

“How do I know the Elves have influence? Well, that's a stupid question. Didn't my dad tell you?"

The only other person I know is that Dark Elf, who works as a maid for Neria or her mother.

"Fufufu, I've made a deal with my dad."

Because of the way you laughed, you must have gotten quite a lot from your father.

"I used to think you were really... good for business, though."

Don't hold back on that kind of parent or sister, but I think it's talent.

If we hone our bargaining skills more, we might one day be able to build a great Chamber of Commerce that Elsie can't beat.

"Really!? I'm so glad that the Queen of Elves has such a certification ~"

"Yeah, I got it." I will consider it positively. However, let me read the contract from end to end. "

Huh ~. Don't think about it, and sign it right away.

"I know I can't trust you at a time like this."

Anyway, the details are in your favor, right?

“Okay, then read it slowly.”

”... it was shorter than I thought.”

This was my impression after reading it.

The details aren't written down, and I feel a bit out of tune.

I was hoping you'd write more about your penetration without hesitation.

I won't lie to anyone who has to support each other from now on.

Hmm. I wonder what you mean by that.

"The thing that bothers me... is to get a good rest and sleep for each other." Meet with a family member other than Nora once every six months. Do I have to put this in the contract? "

I don't think that's what you're going to write in your contract to set up the Chamber of Commerce.

"Oh, it's a condition for your father and mother to help you. Well, it's not a big deal, is it?"

"That's right... once every six months..."

"That's good. You should see Neria once in a while." Nelia, I wanted to show you some magic. "

"... I see."

If I were to see Nelia, I would put up with it about once every six months.

“Is there anything else you'd like to hear or put in your contract?”

"Geez... no, there was only one thing." Maybe this is the only thing I want you to put in the contract. "

What?

"During the first voyage, Nora will not be aboard. Leave this alone."

"... what? Why? I'd like to take the boat for the first time, too."

"If you go, you'll die."

"What do you mean, dead?"

"That's what it means." If you go to that island, you will surely die. Even I... I don't know if I can stay safe. "

So it's okay for you to go because everything is settled and it's peaceful.

"... that's what happened." That's why Rosé and Neria are desperately trying to get stronger. "

"That's right. The truth is... I don't want to take Neria with me."

"Well, Neria's magic is powerful, so I can't help it." Yes, I changed the contract. You'll sign this, won't you? "

"... okay, I'll bet you all this time for five years and a little bit."

That said, I think the ship could easily be prepared if Nora were to join us.

Nora has that mysterious sense of security.

Maybe this is what a big business association builder is all about.

"Thank you! I have a good sister!"

"I think I have a very troublesome sister."

Why are you so hungry when you're sisters?

It's kind of depressing to think that these days are going to go on.

"Fufufu, let's do our best today." I can't do it right away, but one day I'll be bigger than my mother's club! "

You can do it in 40 years, right?

Considering the growth rate of the Holland Chamber of Commerce, I feel that forty years is reasonable.

"Forty years..." It's a long time for me, but it's a short time for Rose, isn't it? ”

That's right.

It feels very short to me, living a thousand years.

Well, when I say that, the next five years will be a moment.
