Day 66 Evening, Royal Palace
He is waiting by himself, and he too has noticed me. .
The Merchant Confederations trump card, the magic swords user called their hidden blade. The magic swordsman that masterfully utilizes several magic swords McKenzie, was it? The only thing I remember is that his hobby is licking beauties.
Thats right, licking beauties is enough of a reason for people to fight, after all, there are no good guys among beauties-licking middle-aged men! Because there is no such a thing as a good middle-aged man? I mean, its a middle-aged man?
Our thief has finally showed up, huh? Having our goods stolen is a problem, you know~. I might be willing to let you off if you return what youve stolen so far? I will at least ask for a reduction in your punishment.
How about it?
There is a composure to his demeanor, he seems neither tense, nor too relaxed. He is strong?
Ah, McKenzie-san? Long time no see~? Or rather, not sure if its nice to meet you or weve already met before, but Im not a thief? Im a diligently working procurement manager, who is a manufacturer in charge of transportation, and reprocessing?
Im working super hard! But my rich-man life is nowhere in sight? Anyway, what Im trying to say is treating me like a thief even though Im working so hard, is not something that perverted old man who is reroreroing beautiful women should be doing?
Just what on earth is he saying, suddenly making such scandalous claims? N-no way, is a beautiful female thief about to show up? And he is waiting here to capture and rerorero her all over?! What an outrageous middle-aged man, trying to rerorero my Beautiful Female Thief!
I want to rerorero her so she is mine!
Im not McKenzie-san.. You are a procurement manager? Sorry about that, I was convinced you are a thief, and was waiting for you to come, my bad.
Its fine, as long as you understand. So Id like to procure that Beautiful Female Thief-san too and take her home with me to rerorero her? And I dont want some middle-aged men reroreroing her before me, so could you kindly not rerorero Beautiful Female Thieves?
Good grief, McKenzies these days, the moment they see Beautiful Female Thief they cant help but go rerorero and rerorian? Although, I already have prepared leotards for presents in case a party of three Beautiful Female Thieves shows up? Kind of? [1]
I need to quickly finish restocking and make preparations to welcome Beautiful Female Thief. The question is should I procure that Beautiful Female Thief and take her with me, or should I allow myself to be stolen by that Beautiful Female Thief and be carried away?
Should I perhaps discuss this question with the Thief-san?
Wh-wait, that wont do. Im protecting this place precisely to prevent those goods from being stolen, why are you trying to procure them? And who is that McKenzie? I told you thats not me.
This again, old man? They are just lying on the floor so they are mine? I already picked them up? Finders keepers?
Im coming all this way to restock because I know there will be stuff lying around, if you get in the way you are going to inconvenience the Beautiful Female Thief? Or rather, even while Im restocking, my heart is continuously shouting for Beautiful Female Thieves, but no one is showing up?
I have to hurry up and make space or there wont be any shipments of Beautiful Female Thieves? Although narrow spaces sound lovely too!
Such an utter lack of common sense. Every possible thing that falls to the ground pulled by universal gravitation belongs to me, is what that person that snatched the apple after it fell on his head mustve said too. There are only three seconds after dropping before the transfer of the ownership?
I see~, thats just theft! Why are you so openly taking items and trying to go back? They arent just lying around, they werent dropped here, why would items be dropped in a storage room in such an orderly manner? They are being put here on purpose!
If they were put then they are lying! Are you going to tell me they are floating? Flying? No, they are definitely lying on the ground!
And since they are lying on the ground, I came to pick them up, treating me like a thief in spite of that is unbelievably deeply rude, like a bottomless chasm deep rude, into which you should be dropped with a meteor on your head as a follow up?
Ive actually done that a lot in my young eighth-grader days, but when I tried it recently one that actually was hiding got baited, and coming out pierced for real, causing a huge uproar and quite a shock, so that dungeon is still sort of being neglected since then?
Anyhow, it seems that it might work no matter at what age you attempt it, so keep chasing your dreams and work hard by yourself? Bye bye?
Wa~it, wait, wait, wait, letting you just walk out of here would be a bit of a problem, honestly. Are you sure you wont let me capture you no matter what? Im telling you, we cant have you carry this away.
This old man is quite dense, cant he just open a championship for the biggest idiot with him, the Idiots, the Royal Middle-Aged Man, gobs, and sort things out among themselves?
That group also doesnt get it no matter how much things are explained to them, possibly having to do something with inability to comprehend human speech, so they should be a good match? Kobolds seem to be unexpectedly sensible?
It might even be possible to reach a deep understanding of certain issues with them? Like the bitches problem?
Heey, are you listening? Ill even ask nicely, could you get caught? Pretty please?Th. most uptod/at nvels a/re published on n(0)velbj)n(.)c/o/m
Ill answer with a question of my own, why do you get in my way when I just came to restock? Ill come back anyway? No matter how many times I come to pick up the goods, they keep returning here, Im beginning to feel it would be easier to start selling from here? Should I just open a branch store here?
Royal Palace Storage Branch, purchases will be instantly delivered to the Royal Palace Storages, free of charge! And the moment they are delivered they are in stock again!
Are you selling those? They will come back? Are you saying you are palming these off? Maaaan, so we have our culprit here~.
His eyes changed. Expression vanished from his face. The presence disappeared too and his breathing cant be grasped anymore either. If only he could also stop being a middle-aged man along with all of those?
The golden magic sword, that must be Sword-Killing Swordthat Royal Girl mentioned.
Temporarily silencing effects and skills of the opponents sword or spear, it renders them powerless, in addition, it can also temporarily copy abilities of the enemys weapon, the legendary golden sword! But this here is an iron ball? (SMASH!)
Armored Pres-san, welcome back, found anything nice? Food and gold will pave my way to riches! Whats this, a cloth? Linen, huh, I could make a hat out of it, but it will be rough and stiff?
Do you want that? Well, I dont mind, it has nice breathability, so its quite refreshing to wear, and I also think it was difficult to dye? Are you fine with natural style?
(Nod, Nod)
Looks like we finally have a morning star assassination case on our hands.
While the old man was so focused on blabbering, behind him, there was a giant ball spinning with a terrifying momentum all this time, making neither a sound, nor the slightest vibration in the air, giving absolutely no hint of what is happening? I was getting chills just by looking at it.
It seems that morning star-killing magic morning star is more necessary than the Sword-Killing Sword, but she also has sickle and chain so be careful?
Well, Im also trying to be careful, but its impossible to dodge, so even if one is careful its going to hit anyway, but you have to be careful or its going to hurt? Well, he is already X_X so thats a bit too late?
A linen hat can be made in no time so its not a big deal, but what do we do with this old man? He was pretty strong so leaving him sounds like a bad idea, but he showed no intentions of killing until the very end, aiming for arms and legs only, what should we do? I mean, its another middle-aged man?
There is no fun in carrying home a middle-aged man? If there was, it would be a huge problem!
Even so, I dont need it, or rather, we already have more than enough? If I needed a middle-aged man, there is plenty under the slums? At this rate even the depths of the earth will be filled with middle-aged men soon.
The Capitals underground dwellers must be greatly troubled with the middle-aged men infestation too. I can see the complaints coming already!
