Chapter 7: Sees as an Enemy

After one week of the first time I earned money.

I went to the three villages once, purified the water, and after that sold shaved ice.

Both of the trades needed almost no capital, and I earned 100k Cet in one week.

If you want to tell how much is that. 200k Cet is a month of living expenses for a four people family.

It was a reasonably good income, but not Amazing! like income.

But I could earn easily, so I was content with it.

Using the time when I am not going to work, I read Grimoires in the mansion leisurely.

The one that Im reading right now is the Grimoire that has Raging Mists magic on it.

It is a very wide-rangedattack magic, and there is probably not many instance that I will use it, but the contents was as Ive thought, very surreal, and reading it is very interesting.

In my side while reading, Sylvia had a shaved ice, and lets me eat one spoonful at a time.

It has no particular meanings, but Sylvia insisted that she wanted to do it, so I just let her do what she want.

You stupid shit!!

I heard a loud voice that was echoing from the mansion.

It was Ojii-sans shouting voice. I wonder what it is suddenly?

I was curious, so I made eye contact with Sylvia, left the Grimoire behind, and went to see whats going on together.

In the courtyard, there was Ojii-san and Isaac Aniki.

Isaac was making his body small, and was being preached by Ojii-san.

Ive told you so many times before! There is no such thing as a free lunch. But even if I repeatedly said that, you dont learn and keep pouring a lot of money

It looks like he was being preached for failing a trade.

Isaac tried to behave while being scolded, but he dared to have a rebuttal.

B-But Ojii-sama. Bruno said it would be absolutely profitable. He said that if I sponsor it now it would return to double

Thats too much of a joke

I instinctively let out a voice. It was so ridiculous I couldnt help to point that out.

I was glared at by Isaac.

Cant you not glare at me too much. I dont know who is this Bruno, but saying that it would be absolutely profitable and it would return to double, even if its fraudits an outdated one.

Did you really fall for that Isaac.

Thats why Ive told you so many times!! There is no such thing as a free lunch. If it would be absolutely profitable, then why didnt the man called Bruno do it himself

Un, just like he said.

Bruno told me, You are my friend, so I will tell you specially

Did you really believe that, Oi oi.

In his rebuttal, Isaac was more and more scolded by Ojii-san.

He was scolded very much, told to look back on his actions, and released.

After Ojii-san went away, I was glared at by Isaac in the best way he could.

What was that earlier!! And whats with the way you look at me!!

Honestly, it was with pitying eyes, but I didnt say it.

Falling for such a fraud, and not looking back on his actions at all

Stop that look!! Youre just a kid, a kid that hadnt worked!!

L-Lucio-sama is

You shut up!! A girl who has been bought shouldnt interrupt!

Being shouted at, Sylvia became teary-eyed.

*Gyutto*she held the hem of her clothes.

Her tears droppedand fell to the ring.

*Kachin*I was enraged. I asked Isaac.

Arerere, was Nii-san really earning money

Haa? What did you say

I, have no memory of Nii-san making money. Only fails at every trade and be scolded. That, is that really, working

A kid shouldnt say cheeky things, getting a profit isnt that easy!!

He just should have said he had, but he got angry backYou havent really earned a profit ever since huh.

I had a profit you know, in one week, about 100k Cet

Ha?

Proofs here

I showed the money I earned the last week

W-What did you do

I made the water clean with magic, and I sold that

Aniki lost his words.

But soon came back, and puts on airs.

F-Fun. That much, is enough for a kid like you playing house

Un, it might be playing house. But Nii-san can only do less than that playing house right

I told him unnaturally in child-mode,*Giro*glared at Aniki, and put an end to him.

Im a kid thats not married, so playing house is okay right

Khu!

Aniki lost his words again. And couldnt say anything back, and went away as if to run away.

I tried to follow him, and say a lot more things at him.

Saying things to peoples wife, he shouldnt be left with only this.

But, I couldnt go after him. My clothes were grabbed. Its Sylvia.

Sylvia held my clothes, and looked up to me with her teary-eyes.

Thank you very much, Lucio-sama

She told me thanks with tears on her eyes.

I wiped Sylvias tears. I returned to my usual way of talking and said.

Ill tell you this, Sylvia is nothing like a girl who was bought. You are my wife even before we are born, you are the girl of my destiny, you are not something like a bought girl

Yes

Lets go back to the archives

I still had a lot to say to Aniki, but it didnt matter at all after seeing Sylvias face.

We returned to the archives, continuously read Grimoires, and ate shaved ice.

At night, we slept while holding our hands.
