119 – Money (2)
Thanks to Rod and Rize’s help, opening my account wasn’t difficult.
I felt a little sorry for the bank manager who came to see them in a hurry, but I had no choice.
However, Kara’s account limit could not be increased. It’s difficult for both of us because we might get involved politically.
This was something that other people understood, and Kara was also convinced, so she was able to move on without any problems.
“There’s nothing we can do about it. Our people have done a lot of things. It’s been a while since we introduced banks, so it would be better to take things slowly.”
“Do you want to use mine?”
If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be better to use them together? Kara I don’t think she’ll do anything weird with my account.
Rather, if you keep it safe, you keep it safe, and you will never suffer any loss.
“Hey, that can’t be done because it’s against the rules, right?”
“Yes. You can never use someone else’s account unless you go through the procedures. The reason we issued you two bankbooks is to check details that you don’t know about.”
As expected, the laws related to finance are very strict. I don’t think I can do anything about this part.
While I was feeling sad about this, the bank teller looked away with a nervous look on his face.
After all account openings were completed, Rod and Rize were having a conversation on one side. The banker’s gaze turned precisely in that direction.
Afterwards, the bank teller cleared his throat and slowly began to explain.
“Instead, you will be able to use it if it is proven that you are a family member. Rize and Lord are special cases, so you can use Sivar’s account.”
“Family…?”
Kara muttered incoherently, as if the word ‘family’ had caught her attention. I wasn’t interested at all.
It seems that Rize and Rod are perceived as being like my parents. To be honest, it wasn’t completely wrong, but I didn’t deny it.
“Is there anything you need?”
“You said you were family, but could it be…”
“You must be a family member on paper.”
“······I understand.”
It seems like it won’t work if you don’t have the documents. I am a unique case.
In the end, I decided to manage the bank account myself. Even if I asked Kara, she refused, saying it would be against the law.
I don’t know if it’s because I believe my spending will be small, or because I’m very thorough in calculating my money.
Or it could be that there is no point in managing it yourself.
“Wouldn’t it be better for the saint to have one account? We live together anyway.”
“That would be a good idea.”
Instead, I decided to leave one account to Rize. Like Kara, Rize can be trusted and trusted.
What is interesting here is that Rize did not open a separate account.
It was a case of settling down after living as a ronin for a lifetime, so it was surprisingly useful. Road is similar to this.
“Then, President. Where do you keep your salary? Is it all in cash?”
“It’s closer to a donation than a salary. I receive a check worth 1 million silver coins every month.”
“Why aren’t there so many…Is it cheap?”
The cost of inserting a ‘Sword Saint’ into the academy is only 1 million silver, which is very cheap.
Isn’t Geomseong the one person who can’t guarantee victory even if people in the academy attack him in droves?
As it faithfully serves as the last bastion and deterrent, 1 million silver coins per month can be considered cheap.
“Saint… No, I feel like a fool for asking this question. Anyway, let’s go now.”
“You said you put Usk by-products up for auction, right? It’s going to bring in quite a lot of money.”
When it was announced that a lot of money was coming in, the banker’s perspective changed.
But perhaps because of the presence of Rod and Rize, he seems unable to open his mouth easily.
Anyway, I have to visit later to save money, so we can talk about it then.
‘Because Santia is still doing well.’
The beginning of the financial industry naturally revolves around Santiago, the city of science.
It can be seen as similar to the United States on Earth, not because it is a superpower like the United States, but because of its minting technology.
In the old days, the outside of silver coins was scraped on the ground to make powder or cut with a knife. Degraded its value in all sorts of ways.
But the silver coins of this world are different. Like the coins on Earth, the surface is rough and scratched, so the above method cannot be used.
With this influence, Santia’s financial industry had no choice but to develop naturally. The production of silver coins itself begins in Santia.
“Once the auction is over, we return to the bank… Ah, that’s right, Sivar.”
“?”
“When I get back, I’ll give you some cash. You can buy various things with it.”
I was on my way to the auction house after parting ways with the people. Kara told me that while she was making plans.
I nodded because it didn’t matter since it was my money anyway. Now, I should buy something delicious.
Kara thought I was cute and gave her a little pinch on the cheek. I didn’t forget to ask for it instead.
“Instead, don’t spend too much. Even though the prices here are cheap, if you spend too much, you’ll run out quickly.”
“Yes.”
“Okay. Oh, and even if a stranger approaches you, you should never give money carelessly. Also…”
This is truly sincerity. I headed to the auction house while listening intently to Kara’s instructions.
‘Really, what would I do if I got scammed?’
I’ll have to try to do it on purpose later.
*****
Unexpectedly, the Usk auction did not end soon. This is because many people came from all over the world after hearing the rumors.
Usk boasts a considerable price not only for its bladed tusks but also for its hard shell.
Also, parts such as intestines were used as alchemy and potion ingredients, so the auction had no choice but to last a little longer.
“Blade tusks 2.8 Million 2.9 Million. 3 Million. 3.5 Million. 3.5 Million. Are there any more?”
Blade Tusk was able to receive 3.5 Million silver coins, 500,000 more than Kara originally expected.
If you deduct the fees payable to the auction house, it is approximately 3.37 Million. An enormous amount of money was placed in Shivar’s hands.
“If you have opened an account, please enter the number.”
“Do I also have to write down my password?”
“No, you don’t have to do that.”
As soon as the account was opened, an amount close to 3.4 Million silver was deposited. In Korean won, it is a whopping 340 million won.
Kara, who is sensitive about her money, stuck her tongue out at the amount, but Sivar seemed rather indifferent. It seemed like she still didn’t know the value of money.
“Shivar. Do you know how much this is?”
“Roughly?”
“That’s an amount you can’t spend even if you eat cake once a day for the rest of your life.”
“Oh.”
Shivar exclaims as if he has realized this comparison. Kara found him cute like that and burst out laughing.
From then on, she went to the bank and double-checked her amount just in case. She is the banker we saw earlier.
“Would you like to open a savings or savings account?”
“Please explain in more detail. He doesn’t know anything.”
“I understand. What are deposits and savings…”
The bank teller explained in detail how deposits and savings are made.
How much is the interest rate, what are the special benefits if you do it now, etc. Simply put, if you save, you will make money.
Shivar listened to the story in silence, but his expression was still expressionless. The response from anyone who sees it is that they are not interested at all.
The words that came out of Shivar’s mouth after hearing all the explanations that followed were very brief.
“Later.”
“That’s right.”
“I understand.”
The banker, as well as Kara, had the same thought after hearing the answer. I thought you were thinking slowly because it was a complicated story.
But not Shiva. Because his attention had already been focused on something else for a long time.
I haven’t said anything yet, but I plan to invest when the time is right.
“Goodbye.”
After receiving unusual treatment from the bank teller, I went out again. Kara checked the time as soon as she got out.
Time was unclear, perhaps because the auction took longer than expected. Still, it’s enough for Sivar’s snack time.
“Shivar. Your mouth is a bit boring, isn’t it?”
“Yes. Something sweet.”
“Here, I’ll give you money. It’s 10,000 silver coins, so it should be enough. Buy anything delicious.”
Kara handed 10,000 silver coins to Shivar. Then Sivar rolls his eyes and notices.
I think I roughly know how much 10,000 silver coins is. Or maybe it’s because Kara gave it to me.
One way or another, it was enough to make Kara feel happy. Next, she patted Shivar on the back and encouraged him.
“Now you too should know how to spend money. Go ahead and eat something delicious. It doesn’t matter if you spend it all.”
“Really?”
“Yes. Really.”
The corners of Shivar’s mouth rose slightly at Kara’s confirmation. It looks like the thought of eating something delicious already feels good.
But Kara, watching this, became anxious. The Academy is a place where people of all kinds gather.
It’s okay right now because the rumor doesn’t spread, but as time passes, scammers may approach you.
Maybe we can access it today. I’m sending it alone just to confirm it.
“I’ll go.”
“Yes. If a strange person comes, just ignore them!”
Shivar left to eat delicious food, and Kara quietly watched his back.
I didn’t go back to the dormitory like this… Once she was some distance away, he slowly walked behind her.
I wanted to double-check Sivar’s usage and make sure no strange people were attracted to him. I can’t help but worry.
‘I wish I could just eat the delicious food and clean it up.’
Kara walked slowly behind Shivar and checked her surroundings. I was wondering if there was someone suspicious.
Fortunately, the rumor did not spread widely and no one approached Shivar.
Shivardo also eats candy or ice cream from time to time.
Contrary to Kara’s concerns, she is buying and eating well on her own.
‘Was I worried for no reason?’
Fortunately, there were no people who took advantage of Sivar’s good nature.
Kara suddenly wondered if she was viewing the world too harshly.
“Huh? Sivar? What are you doing alone?”
“······Hmm?”
Until I saw Ellie who appeared out of nowhere. As soon as Kara saw Ellie meeting with Sivar, her complexion hardened.
I don’t know why. As soon as she saw Ellie, a strong feeling of uneasiness struck her.
Of course, from Ellie’s perspective, it was just a chance encounter while looking around her herbal medicine.
“Something delicious.”
“You were eating something delicious? Alone?”
“Yes. I got the money.”
“Money? Ah. You said there was an auction today? How much did you get?”
Ellie naturally clings to Sivar’s side. Seeing that, Kara’s mood gradually dropped.
I felt bad enough up to this point, but what happened next took things even further.
“It looks delicious. Where did you get that?”
“Shall I buy it for you?”
“Really? Is that okay?”
“Yes. I still have a lot of money.”
Shivar bought Ellie ice cream. Ellie smiled brightly, probably feeling happy about Sibar’s consideration.
In inverse proportion to that, Kara’s mood was falling vertically. She was thinking of interfering even now, but…
‘······Why does it feel so ugly?’
She hesitated because she felt ugly. In fact, watching her from afar now feels miserable.
What can I say? As the saying goes in the East, she is like giving a dog to a dog. I obviously gave it to Sibar to like it, but Ellie accepted it eagerly.
‘He’s just spending money that isn’t his money.’
This is not true. Whenever Sivar suggested something, Eli refused every time.
But Sivar continued to recommend it. She even mentioned that she had bought her candy before.
It was an offer that Ellie had no choice but to accept, and as a result, she created a very friendly and affectionate situation.
‘Ha… I’ll be by your side from next time.’
Kara sighed inwardly and made a promise. Still, she didn’t forget to follow in their footsteps.

She wanted to turn her back and leave, but she couldn’t take her steps.
Considering her usually cool and cool personality, this was quite an unusual behavior.
Anyway, Sivar didn’t worry about her diabetes, so she ate ice cream whenever she got the chance.
[Faith rises!]
“?”
I don’t know why, but it was a sweet day in many ways.
