Chapter 215: Day of Thanks

By the time we left the Rabbit’s shop it was evening.

「Looks like there’s more people about.」

When we exited I could clearly see that there were more people out.

The fairly broad street felt much narrower now.

「In an hour there’ll be many more Daichi-dono. There’ll be some fireworks and such as well.」

I see. So it was still in the midst of increasing.

If we stayed longer than this it’d start to get hard to walk. It’s about time to head home.

「Okay then, let’s walk around while we still can and then head back….I want to take the chance to use this too.」

I said indicating a bag of money attached to my hip.

The rabbits handed it to me just before I left the shop.

The bag was packed with coins.

「To think they’d give me this much…」

「U-umu, it’s amazing. To think they could pack that much into a bag.」

That’s right, at first they weren’t just going to give me a single bag. They tried to give me 10 bags.

『It’s only because of Master that we were able to obtain this shop so this is your just due! Please accept our first profits!』

They said and tried to stuff them into my hands, but truly it would’ve been too difficult to carry and inappropriate.

As I result I told them to give me a single bag that I could hang on my waist.

…..though I said a small bag they had stuffed it so tightly and full that it was nearly bursting. There must have been a fortune inside of it.

I couldn’t help but buckle under their insistence that I take it.

Plus while I was in town…

「I’d like to get everyone back in the cottages a little souvenir or something practical. Dianeia, if you see any good shops just tell me.」

「Umu, roger that Daichi-dono. Then I’ll guide you around. There are several stores I’m familiar with.」

And so Dianeia and I walked around town.

「Still, this district is well developed.」

「It’s situated between Prussia and Fort City. It’s a tourist location. It’s a place that people easily gather at.」

「I see.」

We chatted as we visited the store Dianeia recommended.

Though I called these shops they were more like open air stalls…

「Welcome~ Daichi-sama」

「—tte, this is Anne’s shop?」

The person standing there was Anne.

「Umu, she asked if there was a place she could sell her items nearby.」

「That’s right, thank you Dianeia-sama.」

「Somehow I’ve only seen my acquaintances shops since I came here…it doesn’t feel that fresh.」

Well it did make things easier when I knew the shop owners.

「So have you been selling?」

I could see beautiful bottles of potions, jewels, and jewelry all lined up.

It didn’t look like they had decreased, but maybe I was wrong.

「Ummm…actually none of them are selling….since it’s a tourist spot the prices are higher and they do want Dragon King Goods…but a streetside stall is a bit too suspicious.」

「W-well you’d never think a Dragon King would be selling equipment by the side of the road.」

Dianeia and Anne nodded at each other and I checked the people around the stall.

「Well…since you have a stockpile I’ll buy some things here instead of souvenirs for you.」

「R-really!? Th-thank you very much Daichi-sama.」

「Don’t worry. I’m chock full of cash after all. So, Dianeia do you have anything you want?」

「Eh…….?」

Dianeia looked confused.

I wonder if she misheard me.

「You don’t have to, but I was thinking to get you something. It’s fine if you don’t want anything…」

I repeated myself more clearly and it seemed she understood.

「Y-you mean you want to give me a present?」

「Sure. You guided me around all day. You see anything you want?」

「Nya—what I want? It’s a bit sudden…..it’s a Dwa-Dragon King item you know!? It’s something I really never expected and asking for a present from you is a bit too presumptuous….」

「It’s not. Go ahead and choose what you like.」

「O-okay…..」

Dianeia finally nodded with reddened cheeks and pointed to one of the goods on the table.

It was a bracelet with an orange jewel mounted on it.

「T-then this one….」

「I see. Anne how much is it? Actually is this enough?」

「Wahyaa! Wai-it’s too much Daichi-sama!」

I’d dropped the bag of money on the table causing Anne to panic.

Well as long as it covered the cost.

I exchanged my money for the orange bangle and gave it to Dianeia.

「So here you are. Thank you for today Dianeia.」

「Thank you too Daichi-dono. I’ll treasure…yes I’ll hold this dear……」

Dianeia said hugging the bracelet to her chest.

………fumu, it looks like she likes it. I’m glad.

And with that, Dianeia and I walked around a bit more before returning.
