Re:Zero -Starting Life in Zero

Chapter 16 Sending Otto Away

"Wait a moment, Otto, bring these cute little round cookies."

Green pushed the tray to the end of the long table.

Otto was a little confused: "Grin, what do you mean by this?"

Green pulled a small piece of paper from his pocket, tossed it to Otto, and explained:

"Of course I'm introducing business to you. Just purchase some supplies for me according to the instructions above, and you'll get your commission."

Otto was overjoyed and said gratefully, "Your trust is truly heartwarming, my friend. Don't worry, I will definitely give you a big discount."

"Whatever you want, as long as it's not a huge kickback."

"Um~ please don't say such hurtful things when I'm feeling touched!"

Otto pursed his lips and picked up the tray.

"Hey, this trust is really heavy!"

Ram watched Otto walk away, then asked in confusion, "What are you buying, the white rat? It costs so much money!"

Green put his finger to his lips in a shushing gesture.

"It's a secret, but if you want to earn some extra money, you can add more chips, and it's guaranteed to make you money!"

"Damn, Ram has no interest in the rodent nut business."

After saying that, Ram stopped arguing with Green and took the rag from Rem's hand, joining in the work of cleaning the restaurant.

Emilia raised her hand to brush away the silver strands of hair that fell beside her ear, her pale purple eyes filled with a gentle smile.

"Mr. Green, let me show you around the mansion. It'll be a good opportunity for you to get acquainted with your future workplace."

"Okay, then I'll leave it to Emilia."

"Please follow me, Mr. Green."

Emilia seemed to be in a good mood and turned to lead Green out of the restaurant.

The mansion's interior corridors are spacious and deep, with sunlight filtering through the stained-glass windows high up, casting dappled patterns of light that move slowly across the carpet.

Grimm was very interested in the new things before him: the half-elf, the count's mansion, and the hidden conspiracies and dangers. A sense of mission washed over him.

"This is the main corridor, which connects the lobby, the dining room, and several main reception rooms."

Emilia's voice was soft, like a whisper, as if afraid to break the tranquility.

As she walked, she made introductions, occasionally pointing to a closed door and briefly explaining its purpose.

Green followed half a step behind, his gaze subtly sweeping over the exquisite tapestries on the walls, the antique candlesticks, and the spotless armor decorations.

It may seem casual, but in reality, every corner and every possible blind spot is memorized.

As a guardian (at least in name only), being familiar with the terrain is a fundamental skill.

Clang! Clang!

The faint sound of the dragon carriage moving reached Green's ears.

Looking out the window, Otto had already set off.

This guy has a bulge around his waist.

He received 100 universal gold coins as a reward, and another 120 gold coins from selling all the stockpiled lamp oil. Combined with Green's 180 gold coins, he had a total of 400 gold coins.

This is a huge sum of money; I hope this guy won't get robbed on the way.

"Ouch, Emilia, my stomach hurts so much! I need to go to the toilet right away. Let's end the tour here for today!"

Green suddenly clutched his stomach, looking unwell.

Emilia immediately asked with concern, "Are you alright, Grin? I'll take you to the restroom right away."

Green quickly waved his hand, refusing, "No need, Emilia, I know where the toilet is."

……

Otto had already driven the dragon vehicle onto a gentle section of road in the forest.

After calming the earth dragon down and getting it to move forward on its own, he took out the note Green had given him, gently unfolded it, and revealed characters that were twisted like earthworms.

"Mr. Green really should practice his calligraphy..."

[Otto, my dear friend, it is as if we are meeting in person.]

One day, a chance divination led me to discover that a military operation was secretly underway.

This is a golden opportunity to make a fortune; the prices of related goods will skyrocket. I hope you can help me purchase a large quantity.

Examples include: earth dragon saddle, leather armor and shield, etc.

Of course, medical supplies are also included.

Gold coins are limited, and you decide how to purchase them. After the deal is done, you will receive 30% of the profit.

I know you've always been an underrated, incredibly intelligent investment genius. I'm entrusting my money to you, you brilliant shrewd one!

"Great intelligence? Genius? Green, really, you're always saying such cheesy things. Don't worry, my dear friend, you definitely won't be disappointed!"

Otto was moved to tears; the feeling of being trusted and recognized was simply wonderful.

On a large tree not far away, a raven transformed from a Grimm was watching the dragon-shaped vehicle speeding along the road.

Higher and farther away, another owl with glowing red eyes was also staring intently at Green.

"What's this guy crying about? Why is he acting so crazy? Speed ​​up, this godforsaken place called Mezas Territory is anything but peaceful."

The journey is long, and you might encounter bandits or robbers along the way.

To protect Otto, Green escorted him for dozens of miles.

By the time they returned to the mansion, it was already getting dark.

Like a husband returning home late, Greene quietly flew back to the mansion in the form of a raven.

After his transformation surgery, he tiptoed quietly down the corridor.

As he rounded a corner, Green leaned to the right and bumped right into a maid's broom.

"Oh, my eyes!"

Rem innocently withdrew her broom and looked at Grin, who was rolling around on the ground, with a puzzled expression.

"Mr. Green, please don't appear and disappear around the mansion like that, you'll scare everyone."

"I've got dust in my eyes, quick, blow it out for me."

Like a blind man feeling an elephant, Grimm found Rem and, prying open his eyelids, begged her for help.

Rem hesitated for two seconds, feeling that she was the one who caused this result, so she moved closer and gently blew a breath into Grimm's bloodshot eyes.

Instantly, the dust particles flew away, relieving the pain in Green's eyes. He gently rubbed his eyes and said:

"Why are you still cleaning so late, Rem?"

Rem ignored the resentful tone in Grimm's voice and continued working with her head down.

"Today happens to be the day for spring cleaning."

"Where's Subaru Natsuki? Aren't he coming to help?"

Green then remembered someone who hadn't appeared all day.

Rem's eyes flashed with disgust, as if the name Subaru Natsuki was something utterly repulsive.

"Subaru got injured while learning magic with Emilia this morning and is still in bed. But it's okay, Rem wasn't expecting him to be of any help anyway."

In Rem's eyes, Subaru Natsuki is a very suspicious person who always exudes the miasma of a witch.

The hatred for the Witch Cult's destruction of the village and massacre of her own kind was always etched in Rem's heart.

If she were to encounter Subaru Natsuki in some unknown shadowy place, she wouldn't mind breaking his neck with her own hands.

"Oh, at least that guy isn't dead."

Green took out the magic mirror, leaned against the windowsill, and checked the condition of his eyes in the mirror.

Aside from some redness and swelling, it no longer affects its use.
