CH 119

I sat at the end of the fountain with Ursch-kun and had lunch. But we still don’t want to separate from each other, so we kept chatting. Meanwhile, I noticed that something was shining in the sunlight and swaying on Ursch-kun’s chest. When I looked carefully, it was a gold coin-shaped brooch hanging like a medal.

“It’s unusual for Ursch-kun to wear accessories. What is that gold coin motif brooch?”

When I said that and pointed to the brooch, Ursch-kun picked up the brooch, took a glance at the gold coin, and then smiled at me.

“This is the previous chairman’s. . . the gold coin that my grandfather gave me to celebrate my entrance to the academy was attached to the brooch. Actually, when I was 10 years old, I got a gold coin from my grandfather as a gift. Before I knew it, my brother Walter took it, so I thought I’d wear it so that it wouldn’t be taken this time.”

“Okay, I got it. I’m going to beat Walter next time.”

“With Isabella’s blow, Walter-niisan’s HP will be destroyed, so don’t do it. It’s hard to cover up the case.”

Why? It’s unanimously worth dying to take away the congratulatory gold coins that Ursch-kun received. Game Ursch-kun, I’m pretty sure I saw something in the character introduction.

-Ursch

The son of a merchant. He is a student studying in the alchemy department and sells various items. His hobby is collecting rare gold coins.

Even though it was written. What? There are few introductions and it’s short? Because he was a support character in the game. . . Sadly, there is not a detailed introduction like the capture targets. Still, looking at only this small introduction, I wonder if Ursch-kun and his grandfather had some feelings for the gold coins that were given. What a guess. If they had disclosed the information with a little more character introduction, I might have found out something about the parallel world’s ‘Great Sage Ursch’. . . I’m sorry.

“Is this gold coin the same type as the gold coin Ursch-kun got when he was 10 years old? It’s a gold coin that I’ve never seen before, but it’s a beautiful gold coin.”

If you look closely, the gold coin was not a regular circle, but an octagon. The workmanship is also fine, and it’s a design where the magic wand and the ears of wheat intersect. A small bright green stone is buried in the corner of the octagonal gold coin.

“This is a commemorative gold coin. It was made when the previous king was still the crown prince and when he married the third princess of the kingdom of Graschen. That’s why the magic wand and the ears of wheat are crossing.”

The Kingdom of Graschen is a country of the seven-country alliance connected by railroad tracks and an agricultural powerhouse. The current king was born from the lawful wife from the Kingdom of Graschen. In other words, it is a gold coin issued to commemorate the marriage of Chris-sama’s grandfather and grandmother.

By the way, the gold coin is jointly issued by the Kingdom of Roserial and the Kingdom of Graschen. It was issued simultaneously in two countries the day after the wedding ceremony, but it’s said that the combination of ‘Magic Wand’ and ‘Wheat Ear’ became a valuable gold coin that was difficult to obtain in no time because it was auspicious that ‘it will be a good harvest like magic’. Such a precious gold coin is now swaying defenselessly in front of me. Ursch-kun, let’s put it in a less dangerous place. It’ll be tough if you drop it.

“Ursch-kun, do you collect gold coins?”

“I don’t. I think money is important for merchants, but I wonder if they are interested in gold coins themselves. Grandpa gives me gold coins because of my grandfather’s creed, so it’s not like I like gold coins.”

Is that so? It seems that this kind of trivial thing is quite different from the game Ursch-kun. The existence of the game Ursch-kun seems to be able to think of it as a completely similar person.

“By the way, what is your grandfather’s creed?”

“‘Gold coins won’t betray you. Gold coins don’t advise you or comfort you, but no matter who else abandons you, gold coins will only help you.’ But people who are aiming for gold coins also come, so it’s good and bad, isn’t it?”

He’s an old man who thought like a song I heard in my previous life. Diamonds are a girl’s best friend, a song that talks about paying rent and lawyer fees in case of emergency, and a famous blonde acress who held her flipped skirt with both hands was singing. In this case, it’s not diamonds, it’s a gold coin, but the meaning of what they’re saying is similar.

By the way, in my case, HP and MP are my best friends. In case of emergency, HP and MP will clean up most things.

“Well, but your grandfather is worried about Ursch-kun, so he must have given you a precious gold coin as an amulet in case of emergency.”

“It’s not really for me, but he wanted to give it to my aunt when she turned 10 years old and 15 years old. But it didn’t come true, so he gave me a gold coin instead.”

Ursch-kun’s aunt? Come to think of it, this is the first time I’ve heard of Ursch-kun’s relatives.

“Why didn’t he give it to your aunt?”

“By the time Walter was in my mom’s stomach, my aunt didn’t wake up in the morning, so he went to call her, and she died asleep in bed. It seems that her 10th birthday was just around the corner, and she was fine until the day before, but he doesn’t know why she suddenly died.”

Is that so? That’s why he decided not to give her the gold coin that he was supposed to give her on her 10th birthday, but instead gave Ursch-kun a gold coin. . . No, why? Walter, the eldest son of the Schneiver family, was born before Ursch-kun, so wouldn’t it be good to give it to Walter? The next president of Schneiver & Co. is the eldest son, Walter, right? And unlike Ursch-kun, who looks like his father, Walter looks like his mother, that is, he looks closer to the Schneiver family, so isn’t there a slight resemblance to his deceased aunt?

Ursch-kun who read my thoughts, answered my question with a troubled smile.

“My late aunt was the owner of the previous [Eye of the Greed King]. At that time, it was thought that the ability would be inherited by Walter-niisan, who was born right after my aunt died, but it wasn’t. It seems that he looked a lot like my aunt.”

Certainly, only one of the family at a time was born after inheriting the ‘fragment skill of the king of the deadly sins’ such as ‘xx of the deadly sin king’ unless it is an identical twin. I feel like it was a story that as long as the person who has that skill is alive, the next skill owner will not be born.

This is Chris-sama’s [Pride King’s Ear], which was said to be the curse of the royal family, the [Eye of the Greed King] of the Schneiver family, and the [Heart of the Envy King] of Anne’s family Envi. And the heir of the Underwood family’s ‘The Deadly Sin King’s Fragment Skill’ that seems to be owned by Ursch-kun, and the other ‘deadly sin king’s fragment skill’ were not the same because they were alive at the same time except for the twins. Is that it? I think so.

“You had the same ability as your aunt, so your grandfather gave Ursch-kun a gold coin instead as an amulet.”

“There’s that too, but there are also different elements. However, I haven’t been confirmed about this matter yet, so I’m worried if I can say it.”

“Hmm. It’s not confirmed yet, but it’s not good to think that you are. It’s difficult.”

If anything, as a muscle brain, I can’t think of anything difficult. If you give me incomplete information, I feel like it’s going to be confusing later, so I think it’s the right reaction for Ursch-kun to hesitate to say it. So I sent a gaze that said i would leave it up to Ursch-kun’s judgment. Then Ursch-kun received that gaze and opened his mouth.

“But I feel like I want you to be careful, so I’ll just say certain things. I look like my father, but it seems to be a typical ‘Schneiver family’ personality inside. And Walter-niisan looks closer to the Schneiver family, but the contents are rather close to the ‘Hyde family’ on my father’s side. That’s why grandpa doesn’t know how to deal with Walter-niisan, so he’s keeping a distance.”

“He~. Is Ursch-kun’s father’s maiden name ‘Hyde’?”

“That’s right. My father drifted from ‘Extarada Country’ to this country, leading the merchants of ‘Hyde Company’ beyond many countries. My father, who was recognized by my grandfather in the wake of an incident, became a son-in-law of the Schneiver family, and at that time ‘Hyde Company’ was absorbed into ‘Schneiver Company’. But you know, since my aunt died, the atmosphere of grandpa and father has gotten a little worse.”

“Is that so? Why?”

“Grandpa suspected that my father approached the Schneiver Company because he was aiming at the ‘inherited appraisal skills’, that is, [Eye of the Greed King]. My mother was pregnant with my brother Walter, and he suspected that my aunt died suspiciously. That’s why Walter-niisan, who is closer to the ‘Hyde family’, had a personality of ‘I want other people’s important things,’ so he became even more suspicious.”

That is some dark family background right there. I understand the grandfather’s suspicions. I would be suspicious too. But like Ursch said, it hasn’t been confirmed. So we can’t take it as fact yet! But it sounds like there is a possibility that Ursch will be the next head of the Schneiver Company. I wonder how that would effect him and Isabella peddling if it really does happen? But these are not facts yet, so I am trying not to jump to conclusions!

Only 15 chapters left until we catch up with the raws. I may cry.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter and thank you for reading!
