Chapter 103 – Saying Goodbye
I headed to Thermia’s house to find Tedra.
I’ve been there before, so it’s not difficult to find the way.
However, I have a hunch that the conversation between Natalya, Roin, and Thermia will be long, so I think we can go back slowly.
Naturally, meeting Fade and Germi, which was scheduled for today, should be postponed to tomorrow.
I stood in front of Thermia’s house and looked at it.
The two-story house is quite large compared to the buildings around it.
The house is surrounded by a wall of about 2m, and there is a bar on top of the wall, so it seems difficult to enter without permission.
I’m going to live in the future, so I’ll have to look around carefully.
-Smart.
“Anybody home?”
After knocking on the door for a while, I heard someone from inside.
“Who are you?”
I opened the door slightly and saw Tedra’s face poking out.
Her teeth were knocked out from being beaten by the old man, so her pronunciation leaked and her face was swollen.
Haha. Who is the grim reaper, you bastard.
“Is Thermia-san at home?”
“Mom hasn’t come yet…”
“Um, it’s difficult… I need to talk to you about business.”
“⋯⋯. Would you like to come in and wait?”
“Oh, thank you.”
Seeing my old-fashioned attire, Ted opened the door obediently, apparently not thinking of me as a robber.
“Please sit here on the sofa and wait for a while. I’ll get the car.”
“Yes~”
I buried myself deep in the sofa. The cold feel of the sofa, which seems to be made of the skin of an alligator-like reptile, is pleasant.
I sat on the sofa and looked around the house.
A clean, well-organized house that exudes a sense of life is a nice house with a subtly warm feeling.
Next to the spacious living room is a small garden surrounded by a wall.
Is this the house where I will live in the future? Um, that’s good
“Have some tea here.”
“Ah, thank you.”
Tedra gave her car and sat across from me.
Do you dare to harass my girls like this? You can’t forgive
I looked at the face of the guy who was sitting there for a while.
Fortunately, he resembles Andre more than Thermia.
I guess I could kill without mercy.
Tedra opened her mouth first, as if she was bored of sitting still.
“What kind of business are you talking about with your mother?”
Well, since we’ll have to wait a while and get back, shall we play a little bit?
“I heard that they are supplying suits for the family members of Count Arpagon. Custom.”
“Bae, Countess…!”
“So he said he needed the finest fabrics and dyes. I talked about delivering it to Thermia-san’s shop.”
“Yeah, that’s right. Then⋯. Uh, that boss?”
“It’s called Hanseong.”
“Ah yes. Is CEO Hanseong supplying fabrics and dyes?”
“Yes, they said that they would receive 30 gold as a down payment first, and then receive the money from the Count’s family later.”
“I see…”
“I came here because I suddenly said that I was short of money. 5 gold empty?
Tedra’s face went white.
This kid probably knows a little bit about it.
He blew 5 gold himself, but he must be quite embarrassed right now to hear that he is suddenly short of 5 gold.
“What, what kind of materials are 30 gold for fabric and dye?”
“We use high-quality fabric made with Arachne’s thread.”
“The thread of Arachne. What about dyes?”
“There are two kinds of dyes: black dye processed from oak charcoal burnt by Drake’s breath, and white dye using whiting powder made from the shell of a giant sea mimic that can only be caught on the coast. It is a great luxury item.”
“That, 30 gold for all that?”
“Exactly 60 gold. However, it was said that it would be delivered to Count Arpagon, and since Thermia-san is good at it, we decided to take a loss and receive only 30 gold as an advance payment and deliver it.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
Tedra’s pale face doesn’t want to return to its original color. Haha. It tastes like this baby.
“I was supposed to deliver it, but suddenly turned back saying that I didn’t have enough gold… It’s very difficult.”
“⋯⋯.”
“Isn’t it? Mr. Tedra?”
“Yes?! Oh, that’s right⋯. ⋯⋯. Uh, did I ever tell you my name…?”
“I did my research before coming.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“Rather than that, I don’t have time to be relaxed like this… Thermia-san is very late.”
“Go, go, it looks like you haven’t come back from the store yet… Have you been to the store?”
“Ah, I heard about the location of the store, but I didn’t know exactly where it was. May I ask for some guidance?”
“Yes. Yes. I will guide you⋯⋯.”
Tedra answered as if his soul was lost, then got up from his seat.
If I had taken this leisurely time, the conversation would have been sorted out to some extent.
She followed Tedra to her clothing store.
The trudging and powerless gait is a gait full of trouble as she ponders how to make up for her own mistakes.
“Ha…”
On average, after taking five steps, I let out a deep sigh like that.
Haha. Sick bastard.
Thermia’s despair at being betrayed by you was even greater than that! This is a chew! It’s my punishment, so accept it sweetly!
“This is the shop. Uh, is the door locked?”
After sticking her face to the glass door of the shop and looking around, Tedra took her key from her bosom and opened the shop door.
“Mom…?”
The inside of the store is quiet.
Tedra took her careful steps and headed for the room where Andre had been tied up.
The only place to look around on the first floor is over there.
Tedra’s hand cautiously opened the door.
“What, what! Dad!!”
Tedra ran to Andre, who was tied up.
But the fainted Andre is unable to answer the call.
As I was standing in front of the door to my room and watching them, Thermia, Natalia, and an old man came down from the second floor.
“The time has come. Anyway, the conversation has just ended.”
Roin laughed bashfully. I looked at Natalia and Thermia with a shy smile.
“Did you talk well?”
“Yes. We decided to get along well together. Right sister?”
“Huh. Because we will live together.”
Thermia smiled. Also older… Is this the power of association?
I don’t know what Thermia was talking about, but her first time was difficult, and then it was easy. Natalya, who has lost some of her reluctance due to the old man, would have no choice but to accept it if I found someone I love.
“Ah, Mr. Thermia, would you like to go up for a while? I’ll take care of it right away.”
“⋯⋯. Let’s talk about it one last time.”
Thermia reached Tedra in her room, who was holding the rope that bound Andre and whimpered.
“Oh, Mom! What is this?!”
“Tedra. I will no longer live with Andre. I want you to go out with Andre…”
“Uh? That, what is that… What are you talking about all of a sudden!!”
Tedra asked, her eyes wide open at being abandoned by her mother.
If left alone, Thermia’s heart might be shaken.
She wrapped her hands around Thermia’s waist and smiled at Tedra.
“Thermia-san is now my woman. She’s saying she doesn’t love you anymore. I don’t even love her, but I have to live with her for the rest of my life until I die. Where in the world could such torture exist?”
“That, what is that…”
“It’s like this.”
As soon as she took out the skull mask from her arms, the old man appeared from behind.
“Huh! Uh, yesterday⋯!”
“Do you understand the situation now? Thermia-san is tired of your betrayal. You guys should get out of this house now. Rowin?”
“Huh.”
Roin lunged at Tedra like lightning and smacked her in the jaw.
Tedra was struck in the jaw and collapsed.
Now all we have to do is load it onto the wagon.
“Did you say there was a carriage?”
“Yes, it is in the backyard. But I don’t have any words…”
“Don’t worry. Because there is something to replace the horse. I’m up and resting. I’ll clean up and come back.”
“⋯⋯. Yes. Please⋯⋯.”
After all, even if you don’t have a heart anymore, how can you not have the accumulated affection? Thermia trudged up to the second floor.
“Hey Natalie. Let’s load these onto the wagon with a skeleton.”
“Yes.”
At my direction, the skeletons summoned by Natalya dragged Andre and Tedra out to the backyard and loaded them into the wagon.
It’s a small wagon that’s not that big. It’s a size that can be called a cart, but it doesn’t seem to be a problem if you put people on it and cover it with a tent.
After carrying the two bugs, he summoned a mud golem and dragged it to the gate.
“Are you just dumping it outside the city?”
“You have to kill it. It’ll be difficult if you say you’ll get revenge later.”
“He is also my man. It’s good to see you without mercy.”
The old man next to me said so and hugged my arm.
Not to be outdone by that, Natalya also hugged my arm tightly and rubbed her face.
“Hanseong.”
“Hey Natalie. Thank you for understanding.”
“⋯⋯. No. I can’t help it⋯. Hanseong is so kind-hearted… You can’t see someone who likes you getting hurt…”
After all, Natalia is an angel!
