She was offered freedom if she would either lead them to the elves’ hiding place or work here for 10 years, and she said she chose the latter.
“Since I have eight years to go, Shinri will work very hard!”
She said.
It is obvious that the aristocracy seems unwilling to keep such a promise.
Shinriy seems to believe it and does her job day after day as he is told.
“For now, I’ll clean up the dust and that kind of stuff. I’m told to get rid of things are not needed in the attic, basement, and places like that. They also tell me to bring back anything that might be mana…”
Saying this, Shinri immediately took out a rag and bucket from her “warehouse” and began to prepare for the cleaning.
“There is no basement or attic in this mansion.”
“Eh, is that so? But there might be, so Shinri will look for it on her own and clean it up on her own. So please don’t mind me!”
And with that…
“Warehouse Storage Ilompa.”
The chains on her hands that restrained her and the iron balls connected to her ankles were stored in the warehouse, and he became lighter.
“You can put them away!”
“Don’t tell master. He doesn’t know the Shinri has warehouse skills..”
I haven’t tried it
The fitted restraints would be able to be taken in and out of the warehouse, considering that they are a type of equipment.
The reason why the chains of Neighborhood Watch and castle prisons are always connected to walls and the like everywhere is to counter the warehouse skill holders.
This girl can escape anytime she wants to…
“Don’t mind about me! You all do what you do.”
Saying this, Shinri kicked the bucket with a grand flourish, soaking the floor.
“Ouch! I’m sorry Shinri is a screw-up. I’ll clean up the mess myself, so don’t mind me! …Uuuggghh!”
Then she slipped and fell butt-first into the water.
“It’s chilling! But don’t mind about it!”
As expected, I couldn’t stand to watch, so Clarice and I helped clean up the waterlogged floor.
“It’s so touching to see a human helping Shinri with her work! But still, don’t mind me!”
I’m not sure but, Shinri might supposed to continue to live in and clean the mansion until the day of the auction.
“I’ve been told by the mansion to do so, so that’s what Shinri has to do. Also, if Shinri runs away, the other slaves will suffer, so she can’t run away either.
So that’s why she doesn’t run away, even though she can undo the restraints at any time and escape.
Well, look at the screw-up she just had…
Even if she got away with it, she’d be caught again in a heartbeat.
And if she was not careful, they might track her down and try to find out the location of the elves’ hideout or something.
It’s a terrible thing. It might be a good thing for the elves’ hiding place that Shinri remained a ***** herself.
But to send such an reckless ***** elf to us…. Warren must be a bad guy.
Reminds me of Jimmy Radiak’s ***** I met the other day. I was kinda annoyed with him.
Back when I was in the hero party.
It was only the members other than myself who had an audience with the nobles in the royal capital and other places.
That is why I have not had much direct contact with nobles. I guessed that all the nobles were similar to each other.
“Oh, and one more thing. Regarding the letter that Mr. Albus sent to the mansion, here is the reply.”
Saying so, Shinri took out a letter from his storage.
I read the contents at first glance, and then I struck a gut-punch.
“Thanks!”
Clarice and the others peek in to see what’s what.
The reply to the letter, in other words, was about the order of the auction.
I had sent a letter to Gilbert through his emissary who came to this mansion.
I told him that there was a good chance that we already had a good amount of mana available to us.
And if we go to the auction for the mansion with the price of the relics sold at the auction on top of that….
Whoever wins the final bid will be bidding for a higher price.
That way, the mansion might sell for a higher price.
After writing a series of stories about this, I negotiated with him to have the three relics I was going auction in the order before the auction of the mansion.
Sir Warren’s reply to my letter was something like, “The auction order has been taken care of. Buy them at a higher price at best.”
Incidentally, with the other main request, “I will prepare 6 million mana, so please withdraw the house from the auction,” was completely ignored.
The competition was fiercer than expected, knowing that he was likely expecting to fetch a higher price at the auction.
Incidentally, I didn’t want Jimmy to know about our move, so I wrote about it in passing.
And it went through to him.
If Gilbert Warren wants to sell this mansion for more money, he is right to tell Jimmy Radiak about our moves…
However, according to Gandra, those two families don’t get along very well. Or rather, the Radiak family, which has made its fortune in the ***** trade over the past few years, is disliked by the old aristocrats.
That is probably why Jimmy is enjoying the idea of playing with Mitra and Clarice, who have the blood of the Warrens, a family of great nobility.
At any rate, this seemed to be the way to go about the order of the auction.
We had now passed another hurdle.
Then.
All we have to do now is just to save mana by doing our business until the day of the event.
