“There are no monsters around. It seems that he ran away after seeing the pen.”
The road back out of the dungeon was very peaceful.
It was because most of the monsters were surprised and ran away just by pen taking the lead.
“Carlione Jr. I know that normal dungeons collapse when the boss is captured, but what happened in this case?”
“As Penn ate the boss, the authority of the boss was transferred. If the pen leaves here, it will naturally collapse.”
Saying that, I glanced at the pen guy in front of me.
Where did the majestic body of a moment go? The guy who changed into the body of a medium-sized dog was strenuously walking forward, showing off his dignified figure.
“pen. Are there any enemies around?”
-does not exist. Only the tasteless guys are running away hard.
The ability to detect the surroundings with the sense of smell and a spirit that shows a tremendous compatibility only with the fire attribute.
If I only had a spirit affinity, I’d want to taming myself.
I see.
“pen.”
-Why would you do that, human?
“Do you eat metal too?”
– I like to eat it.
As expected, it seemed to eat metal as well as fire as the tales were mixed.
Really, the more you look at it, the more you like it? If this guy goes, I’m sure he’ll help us clear the dungeon… … .
“Elena.”
“yes?”
“Would you like to come to Mount Etna?”
“Really?!”
Is it because of a sudden opportunity? She turns around with a very bright expression on her face.
At this, Michaela, who was next to me, looked at me worriedly.
“Carlione Jr. Wouldn’t that be too dangerous?”
“are you okay. Sister Elena can protect her.”
“yes?”
“Honestly, I’m not to the extent that I can be guarded even from Mount Etna, isn’t it? That doesn’t mean I want to work alone.”
“If you’re someone with the level of Carlione Junior, that’s certainly the case… … Well, if I can prepare for an emergency, I think it would be possible to protect the sister more carefully.”
“Yes?”
Then taking Elena is no big deal.
“Then let Elena go with you. Oh, there’s an exit over there.”
As soon as we got out of the dungeon completely, a crackling sound began to be heard from the entrance of the dungeon we came out of.
“… … As expected, it collapses as soon as the pen comes out. Carlione Jr. was right.”
“Iknow, right. I heard that there is a place for the Venetian guild guys to gather for the final time before tomorrow’s raid.
“yes? uh, where are you?”
Elena is startled when her name is suddenly called.
“Wherever it is, it’s a party. Usually, famous and wealthy guild members rent a banquet hall and have a party before a raid. This time, they rented a banquet hall at the hotel where I am.”
“Is that a must?”
“Perhaps anyone who participates in the raid must attend?”
“that… … It’s difficult. I’ve never been to a place like that… … .”
“Ahh.”
I could see why he was so hesitant.
Looking at the time, it was not even afternoon yet.
“Then, shall we go shopping?”
“yes? Shopping?”
She is surprised by the sudden shopping offer.
“There are by-products of the guys caught in the dungeon today. If you sell some of these, I think you can shop pretty nicely.”
As he said that, he took out the by-products of the fire lizard and other monsters he got from the dungeon today.
At this, she had a worried expression on her face, but she smiled brightly.
“Then shall we go?”
I should provide this level of service to my future juniors.
* * *
The place where I moved my steps was a huge shopping mall in the center of Palermo.
“Wow… … Well, this is the first time I’ve been to a department store like this.”
Elena looked around as if she was amazed at the grand department store from the entrance.
“The clothes are over here. Follow me.”
The place we moved to is a space that handles clothes, and it is definitely a place where famous luxury goods are lined up, just like an Italian department store.
“Things I saw on the Internet or on TV! By the way, aren’t there people like this in the first place? It looks like there are no other guests besides us… … .”
Unlike other places, she is puzzled by the surroundings where no one can see except us. To this, I replied as if it was nothing.
“Because I rented it here.”
“yes? Are you borrowing?”
An expression of incomprehension rather than surprise.
“Because it’s complicated when there are a lot of other people. I rented this area until closing. Even if you look around slowly, no one will say anything.”
This was the result of asking Latte in mainland Italy. I hear it’s the benefits of the card I originally use or something.
“Then, roughly how long can I use it? We won’t be able to make money today.”
“Oh, that? There are a lot more than you think, so feel free to choose. If you can’t choose by yourself, ask the staff. First of all, you’re a VIP, so you’ll care until the end, right?”
“Wow… … ! yes!”
Excitedly, she enters the nearest store. Then, Michaela’s voice came from the side.
“Carlione Jr. Why are you lying to Sister Elena?”
“huh? What?”
“I think it’s a case of buying a thing here with the profits earned today.”
As she said, the profits we made today weren’t that great.
To the point of barely buying one bag at all?
but.
“It’s kind of a lobby.”
“lobby?”
“Because Elena, who got the pen, can no longer be called an ordinary Elementalist. Even if you can’t do it, can’t you become a ranker in a country? And if you can buy favor with such a spiritist, the cost you spend today is a very cheap price.”
Also, I have to dress properly as I go to the banquet hall tomorrow as my colleague.
“… … okay. Then Carlione Jr.”
She asked after tugging at the hem of my dress.
“Why don’t you lobby me?”
“… … yes?”
She suddenly speaks something incomprehensible.
“What do you mean by that? Sisters don’t wear clothes like that. He also belongs to the Vatican.”
“But wouldn’t it be nice to do you a favor?”
“… … that’s the case.”
“I like wine. When you’re done here, let’s go see the wine.”
Saying that, I burst into laughter at the sight of her declaring that she would receive lobbying with her own mouth.
“Well, you see.”
Maybe we’ll meet again somewhere later.
Then, when I went inside the store to check what kind of clothes Elena was choosing.
“Ah, Eugene. how is it?”
I could see Elena, who had just come out of the dressing room, standing in a colorful outfit, different from her usual plain outfit.
A black frilled dress that matches her long blonde hair and fair skin.
“Oh oh. Sister. You are truly beautiful.”
It was Michaela who spoke first before me.
“ah! Is that how Sister sees it? What about Eugene?”
“It’s okay. Let’s try something else.”
I put the clothes she was wearing to one side and immediately started to pick out other clothes.
It’s a little hard to say with my own mouth, but my objective eyes are at the top level due to years of training experience.
I was confident in choosing clothes.
There is no point in playing the game if you give up Rooktall!
“Give me a coat here and a collar tee. And these shoes and belt. A bracelet too.”
All the things I like are immediately put to one side, as if a god has descended.
At this, Elena’s expression, which was smiling brightly, began to harden… … .
“Me, Eugene? Isn’t this enough for what you earned today?”
“Oh, right. There is no doubt that ‘I’ earned today.”
“yes?”
“So far. Please pay all.”
Saying that, I handed the black card to the clerk.
“I got the card. Payment——“
“For a lump sum.”
“yes. I paid in lump sum. A total of 123 million won. Shall I give you the goods right here?”
“Please send it by courier. Elena, I marked your mother separately, so I’ll give it to you separately. Come here and write down your home address.”
“yes? uh, that’s… … to?”
Hey, I still can’t come to my senses.
“If it’s your sister’s home address, I have memorized it.
In response, Michaela approached first and wrote down Elena’s home address.
“uh… … that… … uhh… … .”
“sister. Please take care of Elena. I have to go buy some wine now.”
“All right. Sister. Follow me. You never know when Carlione Jr. will change his mind.”
“Ahhh… … .”
Today’s shopping was completely over when I went to the wine shop.
Looking at Elena, who was completely changed into a new outfit and holding the clothes she was wearing before, and Michaela, who was delighted with the wine in the paper bag full of both hands, I felt my shoulders shrug.
“that… … Thank you so much for taking care of me today… … sorry.”
“What do you have to be sorry for? The one you should be sorry for is Sister over there.”
Saying that, he looks at Michaela and the wine she is holding.
“You don’t have to apologize because those two bottles of wine over there are more expensive than the clothes you bought today.”
I never thought I would choose wines that cost tens of millions of units per bottle.
I know Italians are proud of their Italian wine.
“Isn’t that French wine?”
“Carlione Jr. How can you set boundaries for wine?”
… … It didn’t seem to work for this person.
“Carlione Jr. You can’t be too embarrassed. You know better than anyone else that power like that cannot be bought with money, right?”
“That is true, but… … Sister, you are shameless as well.”
“This is my forte.”
It might be a downside for others.
“Oh right. Elena. That’s what I said last time.”
“yes? Which one?”
Saying so, he indifferently throws ‘it’ at her.
In response, Elena unconsciously accepts and snatches the object.
“This… … ?”
“What I said last time. Aventador.”
And that Aventador was now standing in front of us.
“Wait, are you kidding?”
“Is it true? Try pressing the ignition key.”
Buuu!!
At the same time, a powerful exhaust note erupts from the red Aventador standing in front of us.
“and… … .”
She makes a fierce expression with an expression that cannot be compared to when she bought the clothes.
“Let us take you home.”
By smiling at her. Finish today’s lobby.
The only thing left now is a war of nerves between the ‘Venice’ guys tomorrow.
“I want the conversation to go as smoothly as possible.”
For some reason, my senses were screaming that it could never happen.
* * *
As if even the moonlight had fallen asleep, Michaela, dressed in pure white, walked out onto the balcony of the suite room over the moon hidden by black clouds.
As if she were praying, she knelt down and started folding something hard.
After naturally folding it into the shape of a bird, it always sends the bird flying in a plausible direction.
This is a paper bird gliding towards one direction.
That bird flies towards the nest it always goes to, and it enters a low-flying flight without knowing it——
──Tak!
It was snatched and dragged to the ground by a rat passing by.
“good job. Ratatouille.”
-Take it——!
Recovering a report that has become a daily routine now.
With her hands in her pockets, she received the report from the mouse and looked at the report for the day.
“Hoo?”
Looking at the contents, she makes an interesting expression. Soon after, she pulled out her phone and called someone.
a brief beep.
-hello.
“young master. It’s a latte! There is some pretty troubling information in today’s information. What should I do?”
wait a while.
-As usual, filter and mix only the useless ones.
“yes. Has confirmed! Wow, by the way, sister’s report skills are getting better day by day?”
-okay? Then I had an interesting idea… … .
and on this day.
The Vatican’s intelligence service was overturned.
