Chapter 76

CHAPTER 76 – THE WEALTHY MERCHANT’S HEART ( SIDE DELFINA )

In the hallway of Kakeru’s mansion .

I, Delfina Homer Lamanri, is on the way to Kakeru-sama’s room .

Inside Kakeru-sama’s mansion, and just got out of the bath . But, my clothes are for going out .

Wearing night dress of the highest grade used for going to parties, with hair that is well set, using a perfume that can be taken as elegant or vulgar .

I have prepared myself to be embraced by Kakeru-sama .

My body is prepared, but my heart…

Walking in the hallway, my heart wouldn’t stop pounding .

My throat is coarse, and my chest is painful as if it was tightened .

It’s a little different from pain . It’s not only painful .

Finding a word to describe it, it would be a “sweet ache”, and I have already known that .

Everyone……I wonder if they also feel like this .

I wonder if it’s always like this when they are going towards where Kakeru-sama is .

It has been a while since I am being embraced by that person, but there are no signs of getting used to this at all, rather, it is getting stronger and stronger .

But even so, I should not show it to my face .

I am sure that Kakeru-sama would not want me who is like that .

While walking in the hallway, I continued the effort of controlling my expression .

「Oh」

I met a woman wearing a hood along the hall way .

I can’t see her face, her voice was that of an old woman .

Althea, Great Sage Althea .

The mysterious presence that lives in Kakeru-sama’s mansion .

Other than the slave soldiers, the only woman who has yet to be embraced by Kakeru .

「Greetings, Althea-sama」

「Are you going to his room now」

「Yes, today is my turn, or how it seems」

「It would be difficult doing it with him alone you know? I also heard that he had reached a new level」

「A new level?」

「He made Immortal Saint Melissa give up for only a few hours」

「As expected of him huh」

「Are you not surprised」

「My mind could not catch up if I keep on getting surprised with what Kakeru-sama does . In front of that person, every woman would become just a woman」

「Including you?」

「Including you, sooner or later that is」

「I am looking forward to that」

Althea laughed giggling .

Other than the time when she had regained her youth with Kakeru-sama’s vigor, her face couldn’t be seen, hidden by a hood .

Once again, I was going towards Kakeru-sama’s room, but I stopped my feet .

I stopped, and stared at Althea .

Great Sage Althea . The legendary person who had given advice on numerous overlords and heroes in history .

If it was this person, maybe…… .

「What is it」

「What should I do……to receive an advice from you . Great Sage Althea, I had heard on rumors that with normal means, you would not give an advice to a stranger . What do I need to do at times when there is something that I really need to ask」

「You overestimate me, I am “just” Althea . Egotistic, just Althea . I am just, dealing with those things that I am interested in and to」

「With moneyーー」

「I am not interested with that . Just say it if you want to? If I am interested in it, I might have an answer」

「……」

I hesitated .

I had rarely received and advice from anyone up until now .

To be able to live in the world of business, decision making and ability to take action that is several times of a normal person is needed .

There are a lot of time that one would be slowed down the more they ask for advice .

That is why, I had always decided with myself .

But, the one who is in front of my is the legendary great sage . And, my question does not have any urgency .

I should just ask her and see what would happen .

「What do I need to do……to get used to him」

I asked while placing my hand on my chest .

This heart pounding, how should I get used to it .

「That’s impossible」

Althea casually said .

「Impossible?」

「That’s right, impossible . I know that feeling, the feeling, that all of the women that are in this mansion have」

As I’ve thought, it was like that…… .

「If the other person is a normal man, it might be possible to get used to it after a while . However, he is not a normal man . He is a man who would get greater and greater, and would continue to move forward」

Un .

「I can say this clearly . You, who would go to his place tonight, would have that feeling getting stronger on the next day」

「That……I would get troubled . I won’t, but……I’ll get troubled」

I know myself that it’s incoherent .

「There is no way on how to get used to it, but I know a way to change that to another thing」

「What is that?」

「In your case, you should spread your business more . You should become a greater and greater merchant . Thinking that as a woman of Yuuki Kakeru, you’d become a woman that would not be an embarrassment for him」

「Greater……」

「Using that feeling as a fuel . I can also say this clearly . The more that his woman become greater, the more that he would get happy; that he is a man who has a huge tolerance」

「Un, I know that」

「Then, you know what you have to do」

「……yes」

That’s right, I only need to do that huh .

If I could not keep this feeling that burn in my chest, I should just use it as the energy that would make me suitable for Kakeru-sama’s woman .

Something like that, something as simple as that, I wonder why I was not able to come up with it until now .

「Thank you very much, Althea-sama」

「……」

Althea left without saying anything .

I couldn’t see her face until the end, but I felt that she had smiled at me pleasantly .

I continued to walk, going towards Kakeru-sama’s room .

Along the way, I vowed silently, keeping this feeling within my chest .

I should expand my business, and become the world’s number oneーーthe greatest merchant in history .

To a merchant, who would not have less asset than anyone .

After all, I am reserved to get bought by Kakeru-sama . All of me is reserved to get bought by Kakeru-sama .

If I cannot do at least that, I will not be suitable with Kakeru-sama .

The moment I thought of that, my heart, got a lot lighter .
