Isekai Yururi Kikou ~Raising Children While Being an Adventurer~

Conclusion of Negotiations

"Everyone seems to be without desire~ Ethan-dono, don't you think so?"

"Forcing each other with items everyone desires. Well, it's the opposite of normal, isn't it?"

Chris-san and Ethan-dono looked at us with faces of amazement.

"Oh, about the purchase, what happened?"

"Of course, we're moving forward with buying everything we had kept. Here's a paper detailing the purchase. Can you check it?"

"Yes, okay… Huh!?"

When I check the paper Ethan-dono handed me, there were unbelievable numbers written on it.

"Wait a moment. The numbers are strange. Aren't there too many digits!?"

"Of course not. That's the basic price, no mistake."

"... Eh~"

It seems that the branches had a value greater than I had thought.

"Um, is the price so high possibly because of the fragments? We gave those away, you know."

"No, no, no. We can't possibly accept them. Since everyone had the same opinion, we decided to buy them at the regular price."

"Ehh~"

It seems they couldn't receive them, so they were properly included in the purchase.

"You said that we don't have desires, right? But Chris-san and Ethan-dono seem to have none too."

"Indeed, we couldn’t possibly accept those for free.”

"Personally, I'd like to accept, but it's impossible in our positions."

"If your positions are pointed out, I have no choice but to back out~"

"Will you do that? Of course, I'll gratefully accept your feelings."

It seems that regarding the fragments, I'll have to be the one to back out.

"So, any dissatisfaction with the amount? Though, I can't change the basic price, so if you're considering stopping the sale, we'll have to withdraw."

"No, no, no. I have no complaints. In fact, I was surprised it was more than I had thought. Besides, those belong to Kaiser, so it's strange for me to complain about the amount."

"I have no issue. Hand the money to Takumi."

Kaiser casually entrusts the money to me.

"... Kaiser, it's okay to have some money of your own, you know?"

"I am always with you, so there is no need, is there?"

"......"

Leviathan doesn't need human money, but since he can take on a human form, I think it's okay for him to have some money. Won't he feel like casually strolling through town alone sometimes? I'll talk to him about this later, as discussing it now might lead to saying something I shouldn't.

"Allen, Elena, show your guild cards."

"”Okay~””

"Split the money in half and deposit it into their accounts, please.”

For now, let's put it into the children's savings. The amount is unusual, but it's like an allowance from their dad's subordinate.

"It's a considerable amount of money. Is it okay to use the children's cards?"

"Yes, please."

"Understood. Let's proceed with the transaction."

Ethan-dono took the cards from the children and immediately called a staff member to request the transfer process.

"Oh, right. Ethan-dono, I've got the letter of recommendation. So, I'd like to request the issuance of Kaiser's permit."

"Huh!? That was quite fast."

"Hahaha~ I asked, and the reply came back immediately."

Ethan-dono seemed surprised, perhaps not expecting me to bring the letter of recommendation the next day.

"”Can we go to the dungeon right away?"”

"Ah~ ... I'm sorry. There are various procedures for issuing the permit, and the earliest we can provide it is three days from now."

“”Au~...””

Seeing the children's faces expressing a strong desire to go to the dungeon right away, Ethan-dono looked genuinely apologetic.

"Allen, Elena, with this, it's certain we can go to the dungeon if we wait a bit longer."

“”... I know~””

"I'm really sorry. I'll make sure it's issued as soon as possible."

“"Please."”

“Yes, I have received your request.”

With the arrangements for selling the Ruby branches and obtaining the permit to enter the dungeon complete, we finished our business and prepared to leave the headquarters.

However, Dill-san was standing in front of the door, looking like he was about to cry. There was an overwhelming determination in his expression, as if saying, "I won't let you go."

"Oh, I forgot."

"Don't forget!"

"Hahaha~"

I had genuinely forgotten about Dill-san.

"Why did you forget? Seriously, what's wrong with you!"

"Ah~ ... Yes, I'm sorry. Allen, Elena, Dill-san seems like he's about to cry, so should we collect the branches?"

“”Muu~ can’t be helped~””

Dill-san looked like he was on the verge of tears, so feeling sorry, I decided we should collect the branch. Allen and Elena reluctantly agreed.

"Ugh~ Finally, finally!"

"Dill-san, as an apology for keeping you occupied yesterday and today, how about we go out for a meal? What do you think?"

It's mostly improvised, but we've kept Dill-san from going to the dungeon for two days. Let's make a proper apology.

"Do you have any recommended places?"

“”There, there, let's eat something yummy."”

With Dill-san on the verge of tears, the children seemed to feel bad and comforted him by patting his head to console him.

"Takumi-san, if it's a meal, I recommend a place called 'Challenge the Dragon's Stomach,' which is three shops down from here."

"That's an impressive name for a restaurant."

"Anyway, they serve generous portions. But the taste is quite good."

"Oh, really~? In that case, let's try that place."

Ignoring Kaiser's quiet muttering about it being challenging him, we went to the restaurant recommended by Chris-san.

True to the information, the dishes served were surprisingly large, and Kaiser enthusiastically devoured various dishes.

Although those of us who quickly became full, including the children, were just watching Kaiser eat, we soon noticed that it had turned into quite a spectacle.

Other customers who had come to the restaurant joined in the excitement, turning it into a full-fledged event.
