Chapter 75

We who left the blacksmith searched for a furniture store with thoughts of buying bed a table that would be used as kitchen table next. However, on the way, I noticed that this world doesn’t have a store that displays and sells furniture. At most, you can order to have it manufactured.

In that case, I decided to order it while we are in the town.

Then, we walked around the store for a while buying small things such as tableware.

After shopping and returning to the Risner mansion, we were guided by Joshua-san to Cedric-san’s office while having an unrelated discussion.

Rather Joshua-san, if you have something to discuss, I wouldn’t plan on escaping even if you have that ‘I won’t let you escape’ aura around you~

「Cedric-san, we have returned. I heard from Joshua-san that you have something to discuss, but……」

「Ah, Tak.u.mi-san, welcome home. The reward for the bandit subjugation has been processed, so I thought of giving it to you」

A reward for the bandit subjugation……?

I see. Even if you didn’t receive the bandit subjugation request, those who subjugate them receive the reward?

「This is the reward for the subjugation of the『Red Cat Group』. Also, there were those with bounties on their heads among the bandits, so it has been decided to sell off all of the caught bandits as slaves. This is the payment from that」

Moreover, because the bandits were caught without being killed, they have been sold as slaves. The payment from that was prepared too.

「Also, Tak.u.mi-san. You have collected the belongings of the bandits from the hideout, right?」

「No, no, that’s not it. All of that is already Tak.u.mi-san’s. It’s just that I would like to confirm whether a silver-framed painting is among it」

「A silver-framed painting? Wait a moment please. Umm……――」

I immediately spread out the item list and search for the painting.

「Ah, there it is. I think this is probably it, but……」

I take out the corresponding item from the《Infinite Storage》and place it on top of the table.

Ah, hey there! Allen, Elena, don’t stare at it!

I immediately covered the children’s eyes.

「「Uniyu~?」」

「「U~n? Got it~」」

Allen and Elena found it strange that I abruptly covered their eyes, but they obediently abide when I told them to stay like that for a moment. It helps that they are obedient children~

「Yeah, this is it without a doubt. Tak.u.mi-san, there’s a person who would like to repurchase it, would that be fine with you?」

I don’t know whether it was stolen, but there’s someone who likes this painting to the extent of wanting to repurchase it?

How curious~ is what I thought, but honestly, I would be delighted if someone took it from me.

「Yes, I don’t mind. It’s just…… how do I negotiate this type of thing?」

「That’s no problem. Please take care of it」

The details around here will be surely all right if I leave it to Cedric-san.

I confirmed that Cedric-san let Joshua-san carry the painting out and I released my hands which were covering Allen’s and Elena’s eyes.

「「Nniyu?」」

The two who regained vision looked around restlessly.

「Huh~?」

「Not he~re?」

It appears they are searching for the painting that was in front of them before their eyes were blocked.

「「No picture~?」」

「Hey! Tak.u.mi-san, that way of talking!」

Cedric-san who always has a calm atmosphere around me panicked at my words.

「「Ohh~」」

I made it easy for the children to understand that Cedric-san wanted the painting~ It was definitely not on purpose!

Moreover, because Allen and Elena were looking at Cedric-san while giving voices of admiration, Cedric-san got intriguingly fl.u.s.tered.
