Chapter 475 - I Wonder What Kind of Monster She Will Buy?
[Please let me go!]
[Stop it!]
……It’s been about 10 minutes since I moved away from them, but it looks like they’re still at it.
As I approached Lilia-san and the others, Luna-san was the first to notice me, and with a relieved expression on her face, she spoke.
[C- Come on, My Lady! Miyama-sama’s looking!]
[……Please let———- Eh?]
Hearing Luna-san’s words, Lilia-san turned her face towards me, her eyes opened wide and she stiffened. Then, after a bit of silence, she began to flusteredly straighten up her hair with her hands.
[……Erhem. You’re right. No matter how wealthy I am, I’m still the head of a duchy…… I can’t afford to waste money.]
[T- That’s right!]
[W- Well, in the first place, even if I buy a model, I have no place to put it. I can’t even display them in the mansion……]
[Yes, as expected of My Lady!]
Could it be that Lilia-san…… thinks that I haven’t found out about her secret room yet? Lilia-san, I’ll have you know that the person next to you who’s trying to talk you out of buying those models is a traitor who told Aoi-chan, Hina-chan and I all about your secret room……
W- Well, the dragon models in front of Lilia-san and the others are certainly so big that it’s almost 10 meters long, so it seems like it can’t be placed in any room……
[Good morning, everyone. That’s a big model, isn’t it? Is it a sculpture made by someone famous?]
[Good morning, Kaito-san. Yes, these are Rondo-sama’s works……]
[She’s a legendary model maker who has created several sculptures that are highly regarded as works of art.]
When I regained my composure and asked about the model after a greeting, Lilia-san spoke with a gentle smile on her lips, and Luna-san added supplementary explanation.
However, this legendary model maker…… Hmmm. I wonder if it’s Alice again, messing around like usual? I guess I’ll ask her next time.
[Sieg-san, good morning.]
[Good morning. Good morning to you too, Bell-chan and Lynn-chan.]
[Gaoo!]
[Kyuii!]
Since I often brush and feed them together with Sieg-san, Bell and Lynn are also very fond of Sieg-san. Lynn was a bit timid around her for some time, but now, she is getting along well with the people in the mansion. Bell is very prideful though, and he isn’t very close with lots of people.
The only people Bell is friendly with outside of Sieg is her godmother, Alice.
[Oya? You brought Bell and Lynn with you huh.]
[Gurururu.]
[Hey. Stop that, Bell!]
[……Why is Bell always growling at me……]
Incidentally, of all the people in the mansion, Bell hates Luna-san the most, as he snarls at her every time he encounters her.
He had apparently witnessed Luna-san playing a prank on me and recognized that” she was a bad person”. Well, I guess he isn’t wrong about his recognition about her.
[……I wonder why? I kind of feel like you’re speaking ill of me in your mind……]
[Might just be your imagination.]
Briefly telling Luna-san, who was tilting her head in wonder, I then spoke to Lilia-san and Sieg-san.
[Even so, you’re all quite early huh.]
[Yes…… Sieg had been hurrying us……]
[I’ve always been looking forward to the fourth day after all.]
[Ahh, I see……]
Sieg-san is a staunch animal lover. For such a Sieg-san, today’s festival must be like heaven.
[According to Phantasmal King-sama’s book, there’s going to be a monster market today…… I’ve brought “all my savings” in preparation for that.]
[……I- Is that so?]
[Yes. I also want to get a child as cute as Bell-chan and Lynn-chan. Lili gave me permission to get one, so I brought the money I’ve been saving up to get a pet…… I think I have about 3 gold coins……]
That’s about three million in Japanese yen. Quite a lot of money considering Sieg-san’s age. Sieg-san is someone who got herself together, so she must have been saving up for a long time.
Thereupon, Luna-san looked like she was thinking for a bit before she called out to Sieg-san.
[……However, three gold coins wouldn’t be able to buy a good monster, right?]
[Ugghhh…… M- Monsters are expensive after all.]
Monsters are apparently more expensive than ordinary animals. Bell was also several billion yen, and the rarer the monster, the more expensive it will be.
Hmmm. I could buy it for her, or I could even get it for free if I used my Black-rank invitation. But with Sieg-san’s personality, I’m sure she will adamantly refuse……
[Incidentally, what kind of monster are you trying to buy, Sieg-san?]
[Hmmm, I’m feeling indecisive. Magic beasts like Bell-chan are cute, dragons like Lynn-chan are wonderful, while the small ones are just so irresistible.]
[I- I see……]
[For ease of raising, it would be better if I raise a dragon from its egg…… but dragon eggs are very expensive……]
It’s easier to grow dragons if you raise them from their egg? Ahh, that imprinting stuff huh……
Looking at Sieg-san, who was unusually passionate about monsters, a smile inadvertently rose from lips…… When Lilia-san cleared her throat before speaking.
[……Erhem. Well, I’m Sieg’s best friend…… Depending on the situation, I’m willing to lend you money.]
[……My Lady just wanted her to buy a dragon, right?]
[T- That’s not it. All I want is to help my best friend……]
It seems like dragon-loving Lilia-san wants Sieg-san to buy a dragon. It’s true that she would sometimes whisk Lynn away and affectionately cuddle with her, so I guess she really likes dragons.
Dear Mom, Dad————- The animal-loving Sieg-san seems to want to take this opportunity to get a pet. Lilia-san, who loves dragons, tried to recommend buying a dragon in a roundabout way but————— I wonder what kind of monster she will buy?
