“Then it’s a considerably old thing isn’t it? Is this expensive?” [Ayase]
“Myself included, the portion will be split among the other collectors, the figure is quite small but,…..it will be 20 gold coins at the very least.” [Jephthah]
20 gold coins? Expensiveee.
But well, I would like to obtain one and see if I could clear the quest one day. Although that is if the quest is still available.
I wonder if Jephthah-shi has tried it himself before.
“I see. It’s done quite fairly well, isn’t it. By the way, have you actually tried going into the interior of the mine based on what’s written on this map?” [Ayase]
“As expected I have not tried going there. Old mines are usually infested with many monsters. But there are mineral gathering quests in the other maps that I have obtained so I tried looking for those. Unfortunately, I did not find anything.” [Jephthah]
So he did try it before……This guy must have a lot of free time.
“I will be changing the subject Jephthah-san. I have a small request to make actually. I had heard it a while ago from Diana but it appears that it will still take a considerably long time to clear the next part in the guidance.” [Ayase]
“There is still a lot to come.” [Jephthah]
“So I have always been by myself up till now. As for my base, I’ve only been freeloading like a burden at Rebecca-san’s place like an inn but I couldn’t afford to do so from now on. I have bought a house already but it’s not really in a state that’s suitable to be live in yet and of course it still requires a lot of maintenance. However, it’s embarrassing to say but I don’t have the required funds to do so. So I was wondering if the Solo house could be a back-up in this considering that Diana will be living in that house from now on.” [Ayase]
“It’s goshujinsama and my new house isn’t it….. S-so the punishment for the slave will be carried out in the basement then……goshujinsama sure is hasty…..” [Diana]
Another strange delusion is coming out from her mouth! Please be more prudent since I’m at an important point now!
“Yes I don’t mind it.” [Jephthah]
It sounds trivial to him! Is there something wrong with this guy’s sense in the value of money! He just bought me a slave easily too!
I wonder what exceptionally good things will he be receiving once Diana achieved her guidance. Let me have a part of it too.
“Thank you very much. Then I will bring this matter up at a later date. Actually…..I have just received a guidance, 『Make a transaction with the Imperial trader』.” [Ayase]
“Oh that is wonderful. As I thought, we must have been fated to meet under the guidance of the Great Spirit.” [Jephthah]
Jephthah-shi appeared to be really happy.
Is this guy for real? I could never understand the thinking of a bonbon…..
Despite his intention to trick me, he didn’t seem like a bad person…. No, I have never thought that he is genuinely a bad guy though.
But well, there is the matter with regards to Diana’s back-up too so I would need to associate with this guy for the time being anyway.
However, I need to be more careful so I wouldn’t let myself get caught up in his mischief again.
