Chapter 175 – Roses Have Thorns.
It was past dinnertime when I returned home after giving Germi another shot.
I was so excited that it was too late.
You might be scolded by Thermia.
“I’m here~”
When she returns home, she doesn’t see Natalya, who greeted her as always. Is she only Natalie? Roin and Thermia were nowhere to be seen.
“Are you in the room?”
Passing through the empty first floor and going up to the second floor, I could feel the presence of people.
“Where is everyone?”
“Here~”
Natalya’s voice came from a far away lighted room.
As she approached the room, she saw Natalia sitting on a chair, Thermia sitting on a bed, and an old man standing in front of them.
A bucket of water was visible at the feet of the old man.
“What are you two doing?”
“Ah, the modification of the wand is over. I gave it to Mr. Roin to test it out.”
“Hanseong-ah, look at this!”
Roin proudly showed it while wearing a glove with magic stones on the back of his hand. It was a half glove with all the fingers exposed in the same blue color as the clothes.
Following the old man’s gesture, the water droplets that had filled the bucket floated up.
Moving the water itself was possible enough with her magic.
Roin stretched out her index finger at her drop of water.
Water droplets, which were in the form of round spheres, extended like a whip and wrapped around the old man’s hand.
It was like a snake made of water floating in the air.
“Oh…”
“This is not the end. Now, if you pour magic into the magic stone…”
The magic stone began to glow brightly.
Soon, sparks flew from the stream of water that stretched out into the air.
Roin looked at me with a triumphant expression.
“It’s an electrified water whip!”
“Oh… How great?”
“Her gloves were made by her sister. She put the magic stone she separated from the wand into it.”
“Because there was nothing to make her gloves. I’m not very used to it Roin, are you comfortable wearing it?”
“Yes, it is just like my hand. Sister.”
Thermia let out a sigh of relief at the sight of the old woman laughing, as if she liked her new weapon.
It seems everyone has been busy making that at home.
“To everyone, I have a big announcement.”
“””?”””
All three people’s attention is focused on me.
“Sooner or later, we may need an extended stay at the Westway.”
“What do you mean… ?”
Thermia seemed confused and demanded an explanation.
“I decided to help Germi take her boss’ successor class and settle into her boss’s position.”
It is a secret that he still had sex with Elena and Germi.
Reveal when… I am very worried.
“Do you have a purpose?”
“Right, Natalie. First of all, the first thing I need to explain is about Elena.”
“Elena… ? Isn’t that Elina-san?”
Roin tilted his head.
“Elena is the receptionist at the mercenary guild, and Elena is the alchemist who went with us to explore the anthill.”
“… ?”
“You two are twins. Elena is the older sister.”
“Uh?! Really? Are you two twins?!”
The secret of a shocking birth. Roin widened his eyes.
“That’s right, I also told Thermia-san roughly, but I heard that what Elena is researching is the domestication of the Spider Queen. He wants to use it to pull out a large amount of her webs and mass-produce her fabric. So he said he would come with us.”
“Oh, because your sister has weaving skills, right?”
I nodded at Natalia’s answer.
“That’s right. But Elena and we have the skills, but we lack manpower, right?”
“You mean to bring it from the Black Moon through Germi to fill the manpower shortage? So you’re saying we have to go to the Westway?”
“You understand quickly. That’s right.”
He nodded his head at Ron’s question.
If so, there is nothing to explain at length.
“So, with that Germi, I have to go to the Westway and help take over the Black Moon and prepare the factory. If Thermia-san teaches people her weaving skills, she will be able to mass-produce fabrics made with spider threads. If you sell the fabric you make here and there, you will be able to sit on a cushion of money.”
“Is there any reason to make such a big deal… ? It’s enough for us to live on our own right now…”
Unexpectedly, he expressed his concern for Natalya.
Is it good for Natalya now that the four of them are living together?
But the more money the better.
So, if you can have a good business license, you should have it.
“It’s Natalie.”
“Yes?”
“Do you trust my brother?”
“Yes…”
Natalya nodded at my joking question.
Money is power.
Only with strength can you fulfill the promise you made to Natalia.
In order to get revenge on Baron Alexandre and Count Arpagon, you first need money.
Even if you don’t have money, it’s possible to unilaterally attack and defeat them. But the most important thing in taking revenge is that after revenge, we should be able to return to our normal, peaceful lives.
Therefore.
That it needs money.
With overflowing financial power, they fall into traps, trample them, and dispose of them neatly so that there is no reversal.
That was my goal
To make Natalya happy, you have to keep what you promised.
I have to make Natalia, my girls happy…
I felt a subtle compulsion to it.
Thermia stroked her chin.
“If you go to the Westway, will I go with you? After helping Germi, I need to buy looms in bulk and teach people. Then the store will have to close for a while.”
“Maybe I should.”
“When are you leaving?”
“It hasn’t been decided yet. I’ll let you know when the time is definitely set.”
“Yes.”
“Are you going to deliver to the orphanage tomorrow?”
“Yes. I decided to help Natalya move her fabric to her mud golem.”
Great. The orphanage is said to be sponsored by the Countess of Arpagon, so if you introduce yourself to the orphanage, you may have a connection with the countess.
From there, it builds up step by step.
A stepping stone to destroy the Arpagon count family that harassed Natalia…
“I will go with you.”
*****
Early in the morning, we entered the store and loaded the fabrics Thermia had worked hard on for the past few days onto a delivery cart.
Skeletons were loaded anyway, so I just had to look around…
Each piece of fabric is thin, but 100 sheets of it are piled up, so the amount is considerable.
He held the hands of Thermia, who had a hard time making this many fabrics.
“That’s a lot. Thermia-san, you really worked hard.”
“This is my original job. It’s nothing.”
Thermia shrugged her shoulders, but judging from her expression, she seemed quite happy.
Yes, the praise is the dance of the shrimp… No, was it a whale? I’ll make you dance anyway. There is no one in the world who will feel bad when she hears a compliment.
If you feel bad even after being praised, it’s probably only goblins with twisted minds.
“All loaded! Let’s go!”
I headed to the orphanage with Natalia, Roin, and Thermia, leading the Mud Golem.
How many family outings?
“Isn’t it just a matter of bringing it to the orphanage?”
“Yes.”
If you only bring the fabric and deliver it, there won’t be much contact… Let’s go ahead and think about it. If you go and rub your ass, you’ll see something.
The orphanage was built on the northeastern street of the city, not far from the Lord’s Castle, which occupied the northern part.
I was dumbfounded by the wide garden surrounded by stone walls and the two-story mansion-like building across it.
Orphanages are usually shunned facilities. I thought it would be built in a remote location even in the city. The building was large and neat, and the children playing in the garden were lively, as if to inform that this place was sponsored by the Countess.
You can tell just by looking at the faces of the children that it is a pretty good place.
Thermia walked past the vegetable garden and headed for the building without hesitation, as if she had been there several times before.
When she arrived at the building, she was greeted by an old lady who had her white hair tied back behind her.
“You came earlier than expected.”
“Hello. Director. It’s finished sooner than I thought. I thought it was something to give to children, so it was fun to make.”
“Well, thank you very much. Now, please come in. Since you’ve come a long way, let’s have a cup of tea.”
Seeing Thermia smiling brightly, the director guided us with a friendly smile.
In the center of the first floor, in what looked like the director’s office, there were spacious square tables and chairs.
“Please sit down. I’ll get the car.”
The director sat us down and went out of the room again. Maybe it’s brewing tea in the kitchen or in the galley or something?
By the way, the interior is quite antique, so it doesn’t feel like an orphanage at all.
“It seems that the countess is incredibly supportive of her.”
“Isn’t the building great? I was surprised when I first came.”
“What can I say about the director… I feel like someone who has learned a lot.”
If it had not been for the title of director, he would have been believed even if he was a nobleman.
“Hmm, from what I heard before, it seems that she worked as a educator for the ladies-in-waiting at Count Arpagon.”
“Ohh…”
The Count’s former lady-in-waiting is the director of an orphanage sponsored by the Countess…
If Thermia’s words are true, it means that the director and the count’s family have a very deep relationship. How to make contact…
As she rolled her head and enjoyed the soft feel of the sofa, she felt a presence outside the door.
“… Yes, there are some new kids from Southwest Street this time. He wandered around without a home.”
“Good job. Taking good care of homeless children, educating them and turning them into great adults is to return the favor to both the children and the count family.”
I heard the voice of a young woman and the voice of the director.
Soon the door opened and the director entered.
“It’s herbal tea. It was grown directly in the garden.”
“Thank you. It smells so good.”
The director handed two glasses to Thermia and Roin, and a young woman who came in after him handed two glasses to me and Natalia.
The woman’s eyes met.
It was an impressive beauty with purple eyes like amethyst and red hair like burning flames.
No, that’s not the most impressive thing.
Two large horns on top of its head caught my attention.
‘Blowjob handle… !’
