Chapter 156 – 35. Gathering of the Openers. (3)
It was a continuation of peaceful days, except for Grenjo Danju, who used her daughter as bait to try to pierce her nose once.
To be honest, that woman’s stats aren’t bad per se, but she’s got [Deceit] And [Desire] In her traits, so I’d say she’s very reluctant.
Anyway, after the meeting of the gatekeepers, Allen wandered around the capital and figured out what to do with her money.
The fact that more than 3,000 gold coins were left unrolled was because Allen, who was addicted to investing, could not stand it. The problem was that the price of the capital was already exorbitant, so it was not easy to make the most of the profits.
What I decided after a long thought was the lucky charm.
At least, the price was reasonable, there was a lot of goods, and it was easy to transport, so if you stick the motto well, it seemed that you could sell it at a higher price. Aren’t mercenaries, as they say, superstitious bastards!
So Allen bought hundreds of amulets for two thousand gold coins. Of course, in the process, Allen got dozens of more amulets by shaking off her snout from the daughter of the head of the upper house, who was fascinated by his appearance. She blew a kiss and kneaded a little bit, so she spit it out.
The members also enjoyed their free time in the capital.
Of course, free time is all about touring brothels, markets, or arenas.
After being rejected, Grenzo’s daughter, Lo Jeanne, couldn’t let go of her lingering feelings and came to visit her once more, but this time Allen rejected her the same way. It seems that he has prepared a little more than last time, but his sinister intentions are still there.
“What’s wrong with me?!”
Power is power, talent is talent, beauty is beauty, all of them lacking in nothing, but being rejected not once but twice, it seems that he can’t understand it at all.
So Allen delivered the answer he had often heard on Earth before.
“He’s a great talent, but unfortunately doesn’t seem to fit with our mercenary team.”
… And, it’s damn expensive! What are 60 gold coins, 60 coins.
Actually, I noticed that I called it very little.
Received a rejection notice that was unfair to hear, but it was ambiguous to refute it, and Roseanne glared at Allen and left as it was.
…… Tsk tsk, tempered hair. Chichi is a small crab!

The Prophet Alloa has been sighing a lot lately. Sometimes she looked out the window blankly to kill time.
… And after hearing that her future husband had arrived in the capital, the frequency of her sighs and dazedness increased dramatically.
Mr Allen… , Said it came… ?!
Of course, I had no expectations that he would visit here. Because there is no contact between the two in the first place. At most, he was acquainted with Yuffie, the teacher of the blind saintess Aude Nun. … But that’s not a reason to visit.
By any chance, did the fact that I saw his future become a connection point?
There was no other way to explain that future. If I don’t meet him here, maybe the future could change. When she had a thought contrary to her own beliefs, she was slaughtered. … With her faith and pride in her own prophecy, she could not shake the idea that he was her own husband.
No, now that I think of her husband so much, I feel like he has already become my own husband. On the contrary, it would have been more awkward to say no.
Seriously real!
But Alloa was so sweet that she couldn’t stand it. She couldn’t even sleep because of her anxiety about what to do if she left without seeing her this time.
When it comes to relationships with men, she is particularly timid.
To meet my future husband-!
Still, I was on my way to meet her husband, but I put on some makeup on her face and put on pretty street clothes. The daughter of an aristocrat who grew up beautifully no matter who saw it.
The Prophet climbed into her chariot, clutching her chest with excitement and anticipation. The inn he is staying at is an inn building near the south gate.
Coming to the crowded place after a long time, she was nervous for no reason and her heart was beating fast. It’s as if everyone is staring at you….
“Allen Danju, I came to see you….”
“…… It is at the end of the corridor on the left on the second floor.”
You’ve already flirted with two people in one week. The innkeeper replied, thinking that if her face is handsome, the noble women will come to make it on their own.
Unsurprisingly, Alloa didn’t know what the innkeeper was thinking, so she and the escort knight headed for the room on the second floor he had pointed out.
“Wait a minute here.”
“Are you all right, lady?”
“It’s okay.”
Because he is my future husband, her words swallowed in her throat.
Taking a deep breath, Alloa carefully knocked on her door. Then the voice from inside.
– Who are you?
“It’s me, Aloah….”
– I don’t know who it is.
Oh
Embarrassed for a moment, the Prophet took a glance at the escort knight and introduced himself with a lowered voice.
“A prophet, a prophet.”
She, who would not normally say that she was a prophet, dared to say so without shame. Then she said “Ah” And exclaimed as if she understood.
Soon the door opened and a terribly handsome face came out.
Oh taste
“Ah… , What brings you here… ?”
“No, heu, I have something to tell you.”
The Prophet stuttered uncharacteristically. Then, his expression turned slightly serious.
“Oh, it’s not strange!”
“Is that so.”
“… Can I come in for a minute?”
“Oh, yes, come in.”
Why didn’t she tell me to come inside until the lady’s lips asked if she could go in?
Anyway, the Prophet has safely achieved the first goal.
“By the way, lady, what happened here… ?”
Ah.
Before he came, I had been thinking about what he was going to say, but when I stood in front of him, I forgot everything. Alloa, whose vision went dark for a moment, felt a little dizzy.
“It’s okay?”
“Ah, yes, it’s okay, it’s okay….”
“You don’t look very good.”
“Really fine!”
And again silence.
To somehow break the awkward silence, Alloa twisted her head tight enough to start a fire.
She has a genius brain in magic, but it’s like it’s broken in front of her husband.
“Ugh… !”
Instead of answering, Allen gave her a light nod. Like she keeps talking.
“First of all, I hope you didn’t think too strangely. …… I’m just saying what I saw.”
“Ah, that’s a prophecy.”
“Yes that’s right! … All, you and I, so, uh….”
“You and I… ?”
“It’s a very, important, relationship, and I mean, hard to believe, but we are, incredibly, close… !”
“… Okay.”
A simple, understandable answer.
If this wasn’t the case, Alloa became more impatient.
“So, if a man and a woman are close, what would it be… ?”
“Are you close? … Friend?”
“No, a little closer than that… !”
“Lover?”
Child, indeed!
“A couple, isn’t it… !”
Fingers wiggling embarrassingly. Alloa’s gaze was lost and she swayed to and fro.
“So, we are, to-be husband and wife… !”
Are you surprised? Expression.
Of course, Allen wasn’t surprised at all. She’s already reading her thoughts.
“Okay.”
At first, he didn’t believe in fate. Although she is a prophet, it is only a signpost that roughly outlines the way to go. Because it’s not absolute.
Even when she thinks of a game over immediately, she doesn’t tell Alloa that when she hears the prophecy, it will be game over. Same reason as that.
“Are you surprisedhaha… , Of course you must have been very embarrassed! I know. I was very surprised too! …… But how about this! We are destined to become a couple!”
A clumsy smile full of awkwardness. She acted like a teacher trying to force a child to understand something they couldn’t understand.
The reason why the logic suddenly jumped in such a leap is because I left it for too long. Alloa had already chewed and understood the prophecy for a long time, so her whole process was blown away. … Just like a person who has been looking at a math problem for a long time skips all the intermediate steps and finds the answer right away.
If Allen wasn’t even her status window, she’d be wondering what bullshit this is.
“Okay.”
Alloa, reading the atmosphere while holding her hands together and rolling her eyes, wondered if he couldn’t believe his opponent’s sluggish reaction.
“Really… !”
“Ah, yes, I believe…. These are the words of the greatest prophet on the continent.”
“What a relief… ! I had a lot of worries about how to explain it so that they would believe me. …… Honestly, it’s a bit out of the blue, isn’t it? Oh, I don’t mean to burden you with that. … It’s just that I think you’ve misunderstood what happened last time…. Anyway, thank you for trusting me.”
The Prophet naively assumes that he believes in the prophecy.
Although the other person seems to be saying what she saw, what she saw was only one of many futures. There was no law that required her to be like that.
However, she frets so much that she will let it fit into her mouth on her own, so why is it necessary to kick her luck that Allen has rolled in?
Dan-joo thought about how to coax this woman out. Whatever her future wife is, that’s the mercenary business first.
In fact, even if she were to be her future wife, what was hers would be his anyway! Husband and wife are one heart, so you can think of it as a common property.
After organizing his thoughts, he sat the Prophet at the table with a warm smile.
“But the question is whether people can easily understand this relationship. You’re a prophet, and I’m just a mercenary leader… !”
“But the prophecy….”
“Anyway, this justification is a bit weak, I mean.”
Justification!
“Then… , What should I do?”
Allen pretended to be worried for a moment, then exclaimed, “Ah.”
“Then, how about sponsorship?”
“Sponsorship?”
“You will be the sponsor of my mercenary squad! …… It would be a little easier if you think of it as an investment for your future husband’s mercenary corps rather than sponsorship, right?”
Invest in your future husband’s mercenary squad!
I heard it was pretty reasonable.
“First of all, you and I don’t know each other well, so wouldn’t it be nice to get to know each other gradually through sponsorship?”
How.
Getting to know each other was very romantic. Having only learned about love through novels, she wondered if this was the first step in love.
“Like! I do!”
“You know how I feel, you don’t know how happy I am.”
“… No. Of course you have to do that.”
He’s my husband… !
Alloa twisted her body and tried to die.
Sponsoring a mercenary corps is something that even noble families often do. Even if you just look at the top 10 right now, isn’t the amount of sponsorship huge?
“Then you, will be my first benefactor… !”
“First…… !”
Even the first one
“Then, the amount, to what extent…… ?”
“Five hundred… , How is it?”
Five hundred gold coins every month!
She, of course, had a considerable amount of money she had earned step by step in her role as a prophet, but even so, her five hundred gold coins were no small amount for her.
“…… Because I’m not really doing anything else. How about three hundred?”
“Ah… , Three hundred….”
As the two hundred gold coins shrank in an instant, Allen felt his heart shrink. Not even mine!
After much deliberation, he finally used the magic word for his self-proclaimed future wife.
“Ma’am… !”
……… Ah……….
In the end, the prophet who fell for his wife’s words.
“I see. Well, so be it. Five hundred……. Because you’re investing in your husband….”
Five hundred donations,
Success ♥
Man got priority straight….damn
