Chapter 27

Wealthy Merchant (Easy)

Delphina, who was dressing herself up, was very erotic . She mended her loose hair, and wrapped up her spread clothes to conceal her body . She trembles as she saw the mark of blood on the cloth .

As I thought, she had been a virgin .

Rather than that, this… I can’t leave her like this .

“Wait here a little bit, okay . ”

I pulled out the warp wing and teleported back to my mansion and warped directly to my room and grabbed my bed sheet .

“Miu! I’m taking the bed sheet . ”

I said in a loud voice to let Miu know, and once again I used the warp wing and went back to where Delphina was . The total time taken, was 10 seconds . As I got back, I saw Delphina was looking around relentlessly .

“Just now…”

“Rather than that, here . ”

I put the bed sheet on Delphina . After I wrapped up Delphina using the bed sheet, the bad [After Assault] feeling that I got has gone .

TL: The same with leaving a bad aftertaste at the end of your tongue if you don’t do something regarding the thing that might had caused/done by you in order to make it right .

E/N: Wouldn’t it have been better to simply bring her along and let her choose?

Delphina, having the same expression from the first time I saw her said,

“I give you my thanks . ”

“Ah no, the one who kind of ripped off your clothes was me after all so…”

“No, not that . It’s a thank you for saving me . ”

“Eh?”

“Inside my head…… or perhaps was it inside my heart, that certain dark stagnant feeling has gone . ”

Was it Eleanor?

“Looking from now and before, I get the gist of what had happened and why we’re here . ”

“Aah… It is as exactly as what you have imagined it to be . ”

“I will return your goodwill for saving my life . ”

“Life you say…”

“Cursed Sword Eleanor, looks like that sword is an authentic one . ” She looked at Eleanor that I had put at the side of my waist .

“Seems so…”

(What do you mean it seems so, what do you mean!?)

Eleanor’s voice of objection reverberated in my head . I ignored her as she was too noisy .

“A person who can wield the Cursed Sword Eleanor… . was unheard of . Probably you are the first and also the last . ”

I’m not quite sure about never to be seen again though .

“Regarding that sword being the real deal, it looks like everything that Royal Highness Helena had said was true,”

“I am quite interested in what Helena told you . ”

“About how you managed to defeat a troop of 1 000 soldiers, and how you can hold your footing against Orikuto without using magic . ”

“Ah, that sort of story . ”

The latter half sounds a little bit off though . Because I was forced to hold onto my breath and exert my strength to my utmost limit, and I can’t even hold it for long .

But then again— it is true to a certain extent .

“That is in own way, is inferior to the fact that you are able to wield the cursed sword Eleanor without having your heart consumed . ”

“Looks like that Eleanor is really strong . ”

(If you really think that then show me some respect!)

To show some respect to Eleanor who had taken the form of young girl, I simply can’t . She’s just too cute .

“That being the case, I need to correct my thoughts . ”

“Un?”

“Like what Royal Highness Helena had requested, I will accommodate all your needs and I will back you up with my utmost ability . If you have anything that you want to request for, please don’t hold back and let me know . ”

“That saves me . ”

“And again, as I have said before, as a mean of contact… I will have someone who will standby the entrance so please use that person . ”

“I got it . ”

Somehow, after all that we had done, all we did was converse in a very businesslike style . As if there was a script on hand that was all that we read . She does not have the erotic feeling like when she was dressing herself . Even though I said that, she does not have the overflowing confidence that she had when I first met her at the mansion too .

It’s only, only… business like feeling . E/N: I was just thinking that .

Somehow it’s boring, I’d like to break off from this sort of atmosphere .

“What should I do in order to meet you . ”

“To meet me?”

“Aa, if I possible, I want to talk about you regarding a different matter other than business . ”

“……Yuuki-sama is the seventh person who said that, they [want] me . If only you have said it earlier…” She said with a sigh mixed in it .

I didn’t say that I [want] her at all though, but that’s about it anyway . The instant I saw Delphina, I already wanted her .

TLN: WTF with this lustful MC .

Because she was the first woman who I have an intimate relationship with, it makes we yearn for her even more .

“In order to reject the other suitors that has asked for my hand, I’ve put a price on myself . ”

TLN: Miki-sensei where are you going with this… .

“Price?”

“As long as the person can pull out that amount of money, I shall become that person’s belonging no matter who that person might be . ”

“If you want it, buy it… is that it?”

“Yes . ”

“… . and the price is?”

“As much as my fortune . ”

“Eh?”

“If you can buy me with money, an amount equal to my own wealth, then I shall be yours . ”

“So you mean to say…”

It’s like M&A thingy? Or am I wrong?

But I kinda get the gist of it, in order to buy Delphina . I need to have to be wealthier than her, that’s about it . E/N: I wonder if he can use the card for this…

***

Wealth that is comparable to a country, to surpass her wealthy that is comparable to a country . That… will take time .

What should I do . It doesn’t seem like I can work it out by saving up little by little, I won’t make it in time . Isn’t there any other way to do it?

I gave it a thought .

“Would you like to consult it with me?”

“Un?”

What is she talking about out of the sudden– was what I had in my mind when Delphina for some reason looked at the other way . She was no longer affected by Eleanor’s miasma but for some reason why does she looked like she’s in heat like before? Her face was bright red until the root of her ears .

“Consult, is it regarding money making?”

“I-if you wish for then I can help you, you can consult with me on how to become rich in order to buy me . ”

She said as her face becoming redder than before . I can somehow recognize that reaction, it’s a type of reaction that makes one feels embarrassed and [guilty] after saying the word . Somehow I was reminded of the black history that I had .

Delphina did it .

She wants to become mine, but her pride doesn’t let her admit it . The thing that she had decided before, she cannot revoke it due to her pride . What an obstinate person, but that obstinateness of her is cute .

“I’ve decided . ”

“Wa, what is?”

“You said it before Delphina, you will leave someone to work as the medium of contact, right?”

“I did . ”

“That, I don’t need it . ”

“Eh?” Delphina was shocked as she was lost for words . She looked like an abandoned puppy .

“I don’t need someone who to work as a medium of contact . Delphina is going to live in my mansion . With that, I can easily contact you and consult you at any time . ”

When I said that, Delphina, who was looking appalled before, has returned to her normal looks . She returned to the upright Delphina whom I first saw at the mansion .

“That is a little bit troublesome, without my presence…”

“The business won’t run?”

“Yes . ”

Delphina said it in a calm voice, but on the other hand she looked quite dismayed . Calm is after all being calm, but one has to face reality . That is good too . As I thought she’s a capable woman, a beautiful and capable woman . It makes me want her even more .

“If that’s the case then . ”

I pulled out the warp wing and brought Delphina with me back to the mansion .

“Waa…”

Delphina should have already known the place where I teleported to, this is the first time we teleported together thus she was not in her proper mind at the moment .

Delphina was greatly surprised .

“This place is?”

“We’re inside my mansion’s bedroom . ”

“D-did we just teleport in a blink of an eye?”

“By the way, the place that we were at just now would be about one hours walk from here . ”

“That sort of thing… is it magic? No, I’ve never heard of such magic before . ”

“I will send you and take you home . ”

“Eh?”

“To make it easy for Delphina to go work and back I will be seeing you off and take you back just like this . Like this then it would not be a problem for you to live here right?”

“That… well that might be the case but . But— . ”

“Stop dawdling and say it . ”

“Yes!”

When I put a little bit of strength in my tone, Delphina answered it without beating around the bush . After she answered however, she started to beat around the bush again so I kissed her to shut her mouth . After being kissed amply on her mouth, it looks like Delphina was set off from her own pride .

“You got it?”

“The-there’s no helping it then . ”

After I weaken her by pressing on her, this time she acts differently from before . She is still being obstinate, but if it’s this then it’s not bad either . That’s why…

I pushed her down .

“N-no… you have yet to buy me . ”

“Then… how about trying out the goods before buying it?”

“The-then there’s no helping it . ”

Somehow, it was surprisingly easy . But then again that is cute so I was being intimate with Delphina until morning . Just like this, the residents of this mansion has increased .
