《TML? IDWH》chapter 10
Advertisement
Upon arrival in the capital, Luna first went to the bank. She put half of her money in there and replaced half with gold coins and small checks for immediate use.
Of course, it didn't make me feel any better. Because everyone knew that Baron Pales was poor.
The bank employee looked suspiciously at Luna, who suddenly asked to deposit a huge amount.
""... How did you get a check for that amount?"
Despite the fact that Luna may have become angry with their attitude, she just casually asked for a change of employee.
A fee was required to process checks. And that pay has had a good impact on employee productivity.
The new bank clerk continued to smile broadly and did his best to get the job done.
'Soon I can go and throw all these checks in Seira's face.'
Just thinking about it, I felt good at heart, so when I climbed into the carriage with a pleasant smile, the mercenary sitting next to me asked me.
"Are you going to go for the dresses?"
"Dresses? "
When I responded in surprise to the unexpected question, the mercenary replied with wide eyes:
"Oh no? You look frozen, so I thought you might want to buy new dresses or outerwear. "
Luna looked at her clothes. She was in a light, thin dress that did not fit the weather. Usually, even indoors, a cardigan is worn over such a dress.
"It turns out that I'm now throwing money away for outfits ... is it worth boosting self-esteem with money?"
Seira's sympathetic look floated into her head, and she suddenly felt annoyed.
She thought that she should dress as richly as Seira.
"Yes, new dresses are a good idea. Let's go shopping! "
"Let's go! "
Nobles like Luna didn't know where to buy a new dress, so she didn't tell them where to go, but the mercenary took it upon himself. He was definitely well versed in his business, and knew where what was sold.
A clothing store was not far away. Soon after leaving the bank, the carriage drove onto a street lined with luxurious buildings. It was a place that the lower class of nobles like her did not even know about.

She had a lot of money, but due to the fact that in her heart she was still poor, she became agitated for no reason when the carriage stopped in front of a bright building.
"We arrived."
The mercenary opened the carriage door and held out his hand to see her out.
It was like the grim reaper's hand leading her to judgment.
'Things are good. I have a lot of money. Do not worry. Even if the dress is too expensive and you run out of money, tomorrow you can take off more. '- Luna reassured herself.
In fact, having gold mines was not unusual for nobles. Gold was also valuable as a currency and sold at a very high price, even for a small handful, and those who owned such gold mines earned so much that they had to worry about where to spend their money.
Remembering this, Luna took the mercenary by the hand, got out of the carriage and stood in front of the tightly closed door of the building.
Usually when customers arrive, the store employees go out to the meeting, bow low and take their outerwear, but now they seemed to be in disarray about the appearance of Luna.
She had to knock, she didn't have the courage to open the door herself.
As Luna plucked up her courage, she heard unexpected voices behind her.
"BUT? What's this? A shabby and boring dress out of season. We've already seen this somewhere ... "
"Oh my God, is that not that poor lady !?"
"Yes you are right! What the hell are you doing here? Even if you get rid of all your family's possessions, you cannot buy a dress here. "
"Isn't that a ploy to ask Mr. Rodrian to buy it !?"
"No! If so, I will never forgive you! "
"... Thank you so much." Thanks to these women, she again plucked up her courage.
Luna turned around to see who said all those words. These were the young girls who had recently come to her house.
Since they were the ones who destroyed my self-worth with money alone, I thought I should use all the money I had to fight back.
Luna turned and said to the store clerk:

"Open the door. I will buy all the dresses in this store. "
Luna's words silenced him for a moment.
The store clerk, instead of opening the door, said with a smile on his face: "Yes, of course ...", he stared blankly at Luna.
And the next moment there was laughter. As if they had heard the funniest anecdote in the world, the girls behind Luna started laughing loudly.
"Did you hear?"
"Sorry. Do you know you can't buy the clothes that the common people wear here? You can't buy anything here! "
"You wear the same dress, from generation to generation!"
Loud laughter burst out again.
The mercenary watching this picture was looking at me intently. He had a frustrated face.
"It's strange that I'm asking you this ...... are you children?" The mercenary asked dryly.
Seeing the mercenary getting angry, Luna glanced at the girls who were still laughing at her.
"You bet I can't buy any dresses?"
"What? Bet?"
"Yes. The loser makes three wishes to the winner. "
"Oh my God. Do you want to fulfill our desires? "
Laughter broke out again. The girls' ridicule, who completely belittled Luna's dignity, amused them greatly.
"Laugh, laugh ..."
I have never been there, so I don't know how beautiful and expensive the dresses are, but no matter how expensive they are, they cannot be compared to gold bars.
The girls laughed for a long time at Luna's proposal, but then nodded and accepted it.
"Good. Apparently you are dumber than usual today. But I want to add something else. "
"Okay, go ahead. "
"There will be a party soon, and at it you confess in front of everyone, saying: "I interfere with the relationship between Seira and Fersen!"
"Good idea! It will be fun."
"Let's wait and see who is even more disgraced. Hey. Are you going to let us in or not !? "
"When Luna asked, the store employees quickly ushered them inside.
"I need a sheet of blank paper and a pen, let's assure our bet on paper."
"That sounds good."
The girls in the trap signed the bet without a doubt.
The workers of the store witnessed their dispute. I checked that everything was recorded without errors.
A clause was also added that if someone does not fulfill his duties, he must become another's maid for one year.
"Do you really agree with all the points of the bet? Just because of the dress ... "
"I know for a fact that you won't be able to buy a single dress here, even if you sell your ugly mansion."
"Ladies, let's better think about what wishes we will make for her.", Said one of the girls.
The girls burst out laughing and cheerfully discussed what they would do.
Luna looked at the laughing girls, took out the check she had in her hands, and put it on the table.
"What to pull, let's do it right now. Top ten most expensive dresses. Bring them right now. "
".......! "
The workers checking her check changed dramatically in their faces, they looked frightened at Luna, and quickly disappeared to bring her dresses.
Everyone except the staff became alert, the girls began to whisper, and one of them approached Luna, snatched the check from her hands and began to question its authenticity.
"... ... This is a lie, right?"
"Are you forging checks now?"
"Where did you steal it ... ...!? "
However, the checks I just changed at the bank could not be counterfeited. Luna answered them with a slight smile:
"Why would I, having a gold mine, steal someone else's checks? "
"... ... a gold mine !? "
"You have to lie in moderation! I will never believe that a person with a gold mine lives in such an old mansion and wears rags !? "
"Right!"
They drilled their eyes into me as if they couldn't believe it. Although Luna was angry with them, she calmed down and made a new proposal to them:
"Good. Let's bet if I have a gold mine or not. How about putting all your fortune this time around? "
"In addition to the gold mine, I put all the property of my noble family. You will be very rich. "
The mercenary, who had remained silent throughout their argument, said with a worried expression on his face:
"Do not be stupid ... ...! Suddenly a gold mine ... ...! "
Only then did the girls realize that things were not going as they had intended, realizing this they turned pale. Their mouths were dry.
Luna smiled genuinely as she sipped the drink brought by the workers.
"Are you ready to hear my first wish?"
