Chapter 195: The truth about pearls 1

Please Read!

There is very important information in the next few chapters. I know you want to just find out what happened to Shina, but if you try to wait and skip the next few updates you will miss a lot of revelations related to Shina, her kitchen knife, and magic beasts.

Shizuku’s POV*

 

After parting with Shina-san and the others, we went to the pearl shop in the back alley.
It was still early in the morning, so I was wondering if it was open, but Thruster-san seems to have talked to him last night.
The one who helped me was the old man who was the owner yesterday.

“Thank you for coming today too. . .”

“No, you responded to the early designation. Can you show us the pearls?”

“Yes, of course, I prepared something better than yesterday. By the way, today your brother is. . .?”

“My brother is sightseeing. Today, I came to fulfill her wish.”

“Who is that man over there?”

“He’s an escort.”

Thruster-san says so and points to me and Ash Claude-san respectively.
The shop owner nodded.

“And what is the young lady’s wish?”

This line is expected.
After talking with Thruster-san, I have already decided how to respond.
What I do here is. . .

“Give me the best item in this store.”

“Oh! It’s the best!”

. . . To show how profitable a person it.

“Yes, yes, yes, then this is it.”

The owner, who had a happy expression on his face, moved to the shelf behind the counter.
Then he used the key to open the door.
It seems to be managed more strictly than the one on display.

“It’s a pearl necklace. Isn’t it beautiful? I collected the large ones.”

The owner of the shop returned to the front of the counter with the item in his hand and placed it on top of the velvet fabric.
It was a string of pearl necklaces, centered on very large pearls.

“Amazing. . . . .”

Pearl necklaces are often seen in Japan, and they are used for formal occasions.
However, the one in front of me is clearly larger than what I saw in Japan.
The pearls appeared more silvery than white, darker in the center and brighter.

“The price is. . . 20 gold coins.”

When I was fascinated by the brilliance, the owner told Thruster-san the price.
I guess he knows that Thruster-san is the one who will pay.

“If the young lady wears this, it must be beautiful!”

The owner rubbed his hands and smiled at Thruster-san.
Thruster-san touched his nose and fixed his glasses with a click.

“Yes. It will look very good on you. If you wear this and go back to the Royal Capital, it will be a good reputation.”

“. . .Are you from the Royal Capital?”

“Yes. What do you think? If she wears the stone and deepens exchanges with the upper management of the royal capital. . . wouldn’t it be good business?”

“Wait. . . wait a minute. That’s not what I’m talking about. . .”

“Then, give me an intermediary that can talk to me. I asked you yesterday.”

“Ah, ah. . . but. . .”

The shop keeper hesitates.
Without worrying about it, Thruster-san put a leather bag on the counter.

“There are twenty-five gold coins in it.”

“. . .twenty-five.”

Gokuri, the shopkeeper swallows.

“I don’t care how you spend the amount deducted from the goods.”

“. . . uh, okay, wait a minute.”

As if the owner is in a hurry, he picked up the leather bag from the counter.
And after confirming the contents, he entered the back of the store.
I wonder if it’s okay if the goods are left out. . .
Then Thruster-san picked up a pearl necklace and handed it to me.

“You didn’t touch it yesterday, did you? I’m curious about what was said yesterday. Please touch it.”

“Ah, about what Shina-san said. . .”

Shina-san said that she touched the pearl, and she heard ‘I miss you’.
Her complexion had deteriorated, and it may not have been very good.
So, I try to touch it gently but. . .

“. . .I can’t hear anything.”

. . . I can’t hear it.

“. . . It seems that only Shina-san can hear it.”

I don’t think Shina-san is lying.
In that case, only Shina-san could hear it.
Is there a connection between pearls and Shina-san. . .?
Thinking about it made my heart flutter.

“Please make sure that your face is clear now. I would like you not to show your anxiety on your face.”

“. . . . . yes.”

I agree with what Thruster-san said, so I nod quietly.
Yes. I have my role.
I have to be firm. . .

“I’ll put the necklace on you. If you feel unwell, please tell me.”

“Yes.”

Thruster-san put a pearl necklace around my neck.
A clasp is put on the back of my neck and the hand is released.
Despite its size, the pearl was not as heavy as I thought.

“It suits you very well. . . . As expected, your beauty is a weapon.”

Thruster-san laughs softly.
That laugh. . . is cold.
On the surface of the words, he was praising me, but I understood well that he didn’t feel anything towards me.

“I don’t feel sick.”

So, I just tell him how I’m feeling and look straight ahead.
A knight with golden brown hair could be glimpsed for just a moment. . . . . Ash Claude-san had an indescribable expression on his face.

“Hey, who wants to talk to me?”

Shortly after, I heard footsteps, and a person came out from the back.
He’s a big man. He’s bald and his eyes are sharp.
Until now, he had an atmosphere that told people not to get close.
When he saw me, he whistled.

“Ah? Isn’t she a beautiful young lady? She’s so white that I don’t think she’s from around here. White magic stones look good on her, don’t they?”

“Yes. She’s beautiful, isn’t she? Makes a good billboard.”

“A billboard, you say?”

“Yes. I want to use her to sell this magic stone to the royal capital.”

“I see. . . . . . .”

Hearing Thruster-san’s words, the man looked at me from top to bottom.
It wasn’t a very pleasant gaze, but he continued to look without breaking his expression.

“. . . Good. I like it. Come here.”

“Yes. Let’s do good business.”

When Thruster-san said so, he held his nose down a little.

 

I still want to know what is going on in Shina’s head that Thruster reacts the same way to her as he does to this poacher.
