Chapter 148 – Towards the Next Summoning Equipment (1)
“I’m ready, Jinu.”
While I was talking to Rachel, it seemed like Renia was ready to leave.
Lenia was seen wearing the micro bikini she was wearing when she came to the Kingdom of Prash.
“Then let’s go out now.”
Last night, May came to visit me before I went to sleep, and she said that she had promised to meet with the King of the Kingdom of Prash the next morning.
Originally, I had planned to receive the equipment needed to summon my character as a reward for defeating Void.
However, the sudden appearance of Void, which was fused with Baccarat, turned into an urgent situation.
Because I had no choice but to quickly find and use the equipment needed to summon the character without even asking May for permission, the equipment I received as a reward had already been used.
About this, she heard from Ellie that Ellie explained the situation to May and she understood.
And she was told that it did not matter and that she assured him that she would be compensated for this work.
One of the cases that often comes up in novels is that I saved a drowning person, and I thought it was fortunate that they didn’t ask me to hand over the bundle.
So what kind of reward are you going to give?
To be honest, in the current situation, there was nothing good I could receive from the Fresh Kingdom.
What I need now is the equipment needed to summon the character.
Nowadays, you can make a lot of money to the point where you can shower with money if you put your mind to it.
And while my own combat power has now risen to the highest level in this world, the girls who follow me are beings who have the power to surpass me, or even to win a fight against a single country.
We don’t really need the powerful weapons that are often given as rewards here.
For them and me, who are using the equipment I created and strengthened in the game, the weapons in this world are bound to be extremely weak weapons.
I wonder what they would give as compensation to us who don’t need money or weapons.
I left the room with everyone with a bit of anticipation.
As she looked into the hallway, her eyes caught sight of May, who had come out to pick us up.
“Ah, Jinu! Heroes!”
May also saw us coming out of the room and came over.
“Follow me. Your father is waiting too.”
May looked at me and spoke.
Hmm?
I looked at May’s face and saw that it was slightly red.
I didn’t notice the change in May’s face at this time.
However, I realized what it meant the moment I met the King of the Kingdom of Frash.
“I will give you the right to marry our daughter, May.”
After going to the king’s place and saying a brief greeting, the first words the king spoke were those sentences.
The moment I heard that one word, my head started pounding.
I couldn’t even answer for a moment because I was wondering what this meant.
Mei blushed and turned her head away as if she was embarrassed by what her king said.
Was that why May’s face turned red when she saw me earlier?
He doesn’t need her money or weapons, so what he gives her as compensation is his own daughter.
If this is a cliche, is it a cliche?
I tried to open my mouth to respond to the king’s words, but before I could, someone else’s voice came out first.
“That’s not possible! What nonsense are you talking about!”
“You guys seem to be mistaken about something.”
First, Renia and Ellie stepped forward and shouted loudly.
Two other people spoke before I spoke, and people looked at me in surprise.
“The right to marry is a ridiculous story. Rather, our sister-in-law should be given the right to marry.”
“It’s not that I don’t understand Jinunim’s wishes because she’s outstanding, but you don’t have that right.”
When the king saw this scene, he looked shocked and could not say anything.
He probably thought I would naturally accept his offer.
It’s not that I don’t understand why they thought that way.
They say they will give you the right to be in a relationship with the royal family, but if people in this world think so, there would be no reason to refuse.
The problem is that I am different from the people in this world.
Aside from Renia and Ellie who were speaking now, I could feel the anger coming from several people behind me.
However, I believe that if you break up with negative emotions in a relationship, it will not end well.
You might not know.
I think that there is a possibility that something that I thought was not a big deal could later turn out to be something that could hinder my path, even if just a little.
There is no need to make enemies.
So I held out my hand to stop Lenia and Ellie before they could speak, and I stepped forward first.
“I appreciate what you said, but I think the rights you mentioned are unnecessary.”
I turned slightly and reached back.
“I am grateful in my heart because I love everyone here more, but I think I will have to decline.”
Honestly, even now, I am receiving so much love.
I’m busy pouring out love to everyone here, but I can’t add any more people.
Besides, I haven’t summoned all of my characters yet.
Now I have to summon the last remaining Elsha, and from what everyone has heard, she harbors a lot of affection for me.
I will be able to enjoy a happy life up to this point.
And I’m sorry, but the fishmen are a bit… Out of my range of taste.
Mei, who is now in front of her eyes, can definitely be seen as belonging to the category of pretty women.
However, the problem is that the only thing that belongs to a pretty person is the upper body, and since the lower body is a race of fish itself, to me, this is too much of a being that cannot be embraced with love.
It is also a state where there are no feelings of love in the first place.
It feels like a lot has happened since I came to the Kingdom of Frash, but in reality, only two days have passed since May and I met.
It is too short a time for feelings of love to appear.
I spoke while looking at the King of the Kingdom of Frash, and I could see the disappointment on his face when he heard what I said.
“I see… We have no choice if you refuse. There is nothing we can give you right now. Is there anything in particular you want?”
In the end, is it a situation where there is nothing worth receiving from the Kingdom of Frash?
I wondered what I could receive from the Kingdom of Frash, but I couldn’t think of anything suitable.
“Then give me the money.”
While I was thinking about it, Noah came out and spoke.
“Anyway, you don’t have anything to give us here, right? Then you should just take some decent money.”
“I don’t think Noah is wrong, my lord.”
What Noah and Lien said are not wrong.
It may be difficult to expect to receive something useful as a reward in the Frash Kingdom, which is currently busy recovering from the void attack.
In that case, Noah’s opinion that it is better to receive money in an easy way also makes sense.
“I guess Noah is right. Could you possibly compensate me with money?”
“Um… It might be hard to give you money right now, but can I promise to pay you later? I’m really sorry, but I hope you understand that we are in a hurry to restore the building that was destroyed by the enemy called Void.”
It’s not that I don’t understand.
“I understand. But there must be some money you can give us. Even if you receive the rest later, it would be nice to be able to receive it within the amount available now.”
No matter what, you can’t go to work penniless.
The king looked troubled after hearing what I said.
Because what I meant was that it sounded like I was asking you to show your sincerity.
It is also correct to say that with that intention.
Rather than saying how much you need, you may be able to get a rough idea of how grateful the rewarder is by offering the amount.
“Then… I will give you 15 gold as a total compensation. The problem is that I cannot give you all of this amount now, so I agreed to give 4 gold as the maximum amount I can give first and give the whole amount later. How about doing it?”
Is it 15 gold?
In the past, the money I received for solving kingdom problems through Aria of the Brittinya Kingdom was 10 gold, so I thought 15 gold would be enough now.
Of course, I suffered more than before, but it pricked my conscience to rip off anything more than that.
“Good. When do you think you will be able to pay? I will come to you then.”
“Hmm… It will take a while. I think it will take at least 4 to 5 months. I’m sorry, but can you wait until then?”
Is it 4-5 months?
In that amount of time, I would probably have enough time to solve the problems I need to solve now.
When you have already summoned the thick buffer called Freyja, it will be possible to immediately destroy Numeron, the dimensional gate in the north, and if you search for equipment using the compass, you will encounter Void, and you will be able to find the roots of these guys and pull them out.
After that, there will only be a happy life with my characters.
I nodded and agreed to what the King said.
